这场戏：妻子上门撞破婚外情
第 19 章 · 共 25 章 · 2'35"
一夜走红的科学家被妻子撞见和电视女主播在家，三人当场摊牌。女主播想 skip past（跳过）道歉那一段，被原配一句戳破；妻子形容他 ego the size of Texas（自我膨胀到极点）。想学吵架时怎么句句不带脏字，这场戏值得逐句听。
❝ 独白 · 8 句 说「照顾」用 take care of：妻子临走列出一整袋药
take care of 照顾、照看good for you 嘴上说好，心里冷笑work out 有结果、成
兰德尔·明迪因为发现彗星一夜成名，妻子朱恩上门时，看见他和电视女主播布丽在一起。三人当面摊牌，布丽想 skip past（跳过）道歉那一段，还嫌这戏码无聊，朱恩直接回敬。她说丈夫 ego the size of Texas（自我膨胀到极点），也讽刺布丽 self-righteous（自以为是地占理）。谈不下去，朱恩临走前一样一样交代他的药：赞安诺、左洛复、血压药，布丽只能挤出一句 good for you（嘴上说好，心里冷笑）。想学不带脏字、句句扎心的吵架方式，看它就够。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“Well, he was a waiter. Now he's got an ego the size of Texas.”
可他是个服务员。现在他膨胀得跟得克萨斯州一样大。
用一个州的面积来量一个人的自尊，落差本身就是笑点。
an ego the size of X
朋友之间挖苦某人自我膨胀时用；当着当事人或上级说就是挑衅。
His ego is the size of a house. ／ He has an ego you can see from space.
口语
the size of 连读，Texas 重读，前半句放低。
Since the award, his ego is the size of Texas. 自从拿了奖，他就膨胀得没边了。
“Where you get to feel self-righteous and we put our tails between our legs. It is just so boring.”
就是你自以为是地占理，我们夹着尾巴认错那一段。真的太无聊了。
把一场摊牌总结成一段流程，越平静越显得老练又无所谓。
the part where you get to ... and we ...
厌倦了反复上演的争吵时用，语气冷；对想认真沟通的人说是要激化。
The part where you play the victim. ／ This scene where you win and I apologize.
口语
self-righteous 重音在 right，tails between 连读，boring 拖长。
Can we skip the part where you feel self-righteous? 能不能跳过你自以为是占理那段？
“do we keep having a wonderful time or does he go back with you to Wisconsin?”
是继续这样开心下去，还是他跟你回威斯康星？
把感情问题摆成一道选择题，谁被留下、谁被带走全在这一问里。
do we keep X or does he go back?
逼对方在不确定的事上表态时用，气势很足；对还想缓和的人说就撕破脸了。
Do we stay like this or does he leave? ／ Either he stays or he goes home.
口语
wonderful time 连读，or 前停半拍，Wisconsin 重读。
Do we keep doing this or do you go back to your old job? 是我们继续这样，还是你回原来那份工作？
“And, uh, for America's sexiest scientist, a bottle of goddamn Cialis!”
还有，呃，给全美最性感科学家的，一瓶该死的希爱力！
把最私密的药像颁奖一样甩出来，羞辱包在玩笑里。
for America's sexiest X, a bottle of ...
熟人之间揭短取笑时用，尺度很大；有外人在场这样说就是当众羞辱。
For the man of the hour, one last gift. ／ And for the champion, one more pill.
口语
sexiest scientist 连读，goddamn 加重，Cialis 重音在前。
And for the office athlete, a bottle of painkillers! 还有给办公室运动员的，一瓶止痛药！
“I guess I'll just tell your sons that Dad's fucking the lady on our television.”
那我就去告诉你儿子们，爸爸正在跟咱们家电视上那个女人上床。
不吵不闹，只说要怎么跟孩子转述，杀伤力比爆粗更大。
I'll just tell X that ...
在争吵里亮出后果、让对方自己掂量时用；拿孩子当筹码说出口就收不回。
I'll let them hear it from me. ／ I'll tell them the truth, in my own words.
口语
I'll just 连读，fucking 加重，television 尾音轻收。
Fine, I'll just tell your parents where the money went. 行，那我就去告诉你爸妈钱去哪儿了。
“I really thought for a second that was gonna work out.”
我刚才真的有一瞬间以为这事能成。
摊牌结束后一句自嘲，把荒唐和心软都留在里面。
I really thought for a second that ...
事后自嘲当初抱过希望时用；在需要安慰别人时这样讲会显得只顾自己。
For a moment I actually believed it would work. ／ I let myself think it might last.
中性
thought for a second 连读，gonna work out 一带而过。
I really thought for a second that deal would work out. 我有一瞬间真以为那笔生意能成。
Yeah, here's the Xanax he takes for his panic attacks. Oh, gosh. Here's the Zoloft he takes for the crashing depressions. -Not so much recently. Okay, you know-- -Oh! Oh, good for you. Great. -Uh, this is for his blood pressure. -Ow. -Restless leg syndrome, that's a fun one. -God. Oh. Appetite suppressant to counteract the weight gain from his other meds. And, uh, for America's sexiest scientist, a bottle of goddamn Cialis!
对，这是他治惊恐发作吃的赞安诺。 哦，天哪。 这是他治重度抑郁发作吃的左洛复。 ——最近吃得少了。好吧，你知道————哦！那太好了。真棒。 ——呃，这是治他血压的。——哎哟。 ——不宁腿综合征，这个可有意思了。——天哪。 哦。还有抑制食欲的，用来抵消其他药带来的体重增加。 还有，呃，给全美最性感科学家的，一瓶该死的希爱力！
下一章 · 20stone-cold legend不折不扣的传奇这场戏：粉丝围住店员凯特字面是「自我膨胀得跟得州一样大」，形容一个人自视极高、目中无人。朱恩用它讽刺丈夫出名以后飘了。
tails between our legs。字面是夹起尾巴，指认错、服软时那副低调的样子，吵架或认输时常用。
skip past。skip past this part 就是略过这一段，不想面对尴尬话题时说，比单用 skip 更强调「越过去」。
看语气。真心替对方高兴时是夸奖；但像这里，对方刚说完不太好的消息，拖长音的 good for you 就是嘴上说好、心里冷笑。
主要是妻子朱恩和女主播布丽当面对话，兰德尔夹在中间几乎插不上嘴。有几句分不清是谁说的，可以靠内容和语气判断。
