打烊前争论婚姻：give someone the time of day
打烊前的快餐店里，几句互损把话题带到婚姻：一句 cold-hearted ice princess（冷心冰公主）先扣帽子，另一句 not saying that... but（先让步再反驳）再把婚事说成违背天性。想损人又不撕破脸、想反驳又先给台阶，这两个说法都用得上。
发生了什么
打烊前，快餐店里的闲聊从互相损嘴一路聊到婚姻值不值得信。一句 bust someone's balls（狠狠调侃/整某人）先把玩笑开到最大，cold-hearted ice princess（冷心冰公主）又给对方扣上不信婚姻的帽子；碰到不想把话说死的时候，not saying that... but（先让步再反驳）能先给台阶再亮观点。后面聊到高中旧事，give someone the time of day（搭理某人）把「当年看都不看你一眼」说得十分地道。朋友互损、聊感情观、委婉反驳，都能直接搬用。
这场戏看什么
- 留意互损何时转认真，语气怎么翻
- 注意抽象词如何拆浪漫爱
- 看被戳中的人怎样反问挡回
留意这几个短语

He won't give me the time of day unless I mention work.除非我提工作，否则他根本不理我。

关于这一章的问题
bust someone's balls 是什么意思？
这里是「狠狠调侃/整某人」。台词里说，等对方订婚就要 bust your balls as hard as you've busted mine，意思是也要照样狠狠损回去。
「搭理某人」英语怎么说？
可以说 give someone the time of day。台词里说她高中时 wouldn't give you the time of day，就是连正眼都不瞧你、不搭理你。
not saying that... but 是什么语气？
先让步再反驳。先承认对方的选择没什么不行，再亮出自己的看法；台词里后面接的就是婚姻违背原始天性。
cold-hearted ice princess 是在夸人吗？
不是，是带刺的「冷心冰公主」，用来形容对方冷血、不信婚姻；原句 You're the cold-hearted ice princess that doesn't believe in marriage 就是这个意思。
backpedal 在口语里指什么？
指说错话后赶紧改口、往回找补。一句 nice backpedal 就是「挺会往回找补啊」，朋友互损时很常用。
