Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 13 / 20 章 · 4'28" · C1

签名会上劝他问过去：barkin' up the wrong tree

漫画签名会上，有人为女友的过去心里发愁，对面的人先甩出一句 barkin' up the wrong tree（找错对象），又拿圈子里的偏见开涮。最后那句 point-blank（直截了当地）才是真提醒：别绕弯子，直接问。

发生了什么

漫画签名会上，话题从班基为何闹别扭说起，有人用 warped perception（扭曲的看法）形容他的心思：在他眼里，对方是被「黑暗面」抢走了；另一边承认这事儿让自己心里过不去，还说班基的 bullshit detector（识谎雷达）很灵。随后话锋转到身份和圈子里的偏见，又有人点出：也许真正让人不安的，是那点脆弱的幻想可能不是真的。最后给出的直白建议是 point-blank（直截了当地）问那姑娘的过去，别等事情大到两个人都挪不动。想学怎么用习语点破偏见、怎么劝人别绕弯子，这些说法都能直接带走。

本章短语

barkin' up the wrong tree

找错对象pursuing the wrong target

有人刚听完挖黑料的说法，反问对方：若想拆散两人，那是 barkin' up the wrong tree（找错对象）。语气是看穿把戏的调侃，不是认真劝架。

If you want me to cancel the trip, you're barkin' up the wrong tree.你要我取消旅行，那你是找错人了。

Gay or straight, ugly's still ugly.

同性恋也好，异性恋也好，丑还是丑。 一句把性向和外貌切开：是同性恋也不等于好看，丑还是丑。

Men need to believe that they're Marco-fuckin'- Polo when it comes to sex.

男人在性这件事上，总需要相信自己是他妈的马可·波罗。 把探险家名字塞进粗口，一句戳破男性性自负的表演。

Do yourself a favor: Just ask the girl about her past point-blank.

听我一句：直接当面问那女孩的过去。 劝告不绕弯：先给动作，再给方式，point-blank 收得干脆。

关于这一章的问题

barkin' up the wrong tree 是什么意思？

意思是「找错对象」，把力气用错了方向。台词里说，想拆散两个人却拿她其实不「弯」来说事，就是找错了对象。

「直截了当地问」英语怎么说？

可以说 point-blank。台词里的建议是 Just ask the girl about her past point-blank，意思就是别绕弯子，直接问那姑娘过去的事。

「识谎雷达」用英语怎么表达？

台词用 bullshit detector 形容很会听出胡扯的本事：Banky's got a pretty good bullshit detector。中文可以理解成「识谎雷达」。

warped perception 是什么意思？

意思是「扭曲的看法」，指把事看歪了。台词里说，在他扭曲的看法中，你被「黑暗面」抢走了，而那个黑暗面就是她。

Thanks for being so comforting 是真心感谢吗？

这句更像反话，中文概括为「明谢实讽」。前面刚有人拿「同时跟好几个人」开玩笑，紧接着说这句，更像在讽刺对方真会安慰人。
