这场戏：发现被女友删了记忆
第 5 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'02"
乔尔跑到「拉库纳」诊所，才发现前女友克莱门汀早把他从记忆里抹掉了。医生转述她的原话：almost as a lark（几乎就是闹着玩）——把删人这件事说得像一时兴起。想冷冷地表示「没当回事」，as a lark 这个说法很好用。

她删掉你「闹着玩」：as a lark
Give it a rest 消停会儿、别闹了as a lark 闹着玩、一时兴起like that 就是那样、就那副德性
这是《暖暖内含光》里乔尔去「拉库纳」诊所的一场戏。他带着预约上门，才发现前女友克莱门汀已经做过记忆删除，把他整个抹掉了；对方还说 She decided to erase you almost as a lark（她决定删掉你，几乎就是闹着玩）。面对一份写着 Miss Kruczynski was not happy and wanted to move on（她不太满意，想往前走）的表格，乔尔只能接受。as a lark 意思是闹着玩、一时兴起，常用来轻描淡写地说明一个重大决定；move on 是放下过去往前走，分手、换工作都能用；no such thing as 则是「压根没这回事」，用来一句话否认对方的说法。

“What can I say, Joel? You know Clementine. She's like that.”
我能说什么呢，乔尔？你了解克莱门汀，她就是这样的人。
一句认命般的解释，把克莱门汀的任性和乔尔的无力同时摆上桌面。
What can I say? You know someone.
替熟人解释其出格举动时用；正式场合或对长辈别这么说。
What can I say? That's just her. ／ You know how she is.

What can I say 轻快连读，She's like that 句尾放平。
What can I say? You know my brother. He never plans ahead. 我能说什么呢？你了解我哥，他从来不做计划。
“She decided to erase you almost as a lark.”
她抹掉你，几乎就是闹着玩。
轻描淡写一个 as a lark，把毁掉一段感情的随意说得让人心凉。

中性
decided to 连读，almost as a lark 一口气说出。

最暖的评价偏偏是她抹掉你的理由，反讽一下就扎进人心。
the nicest X someone ever did
转述别人给过的好评时用；当面自夸会显得轻浮。

Nicest guy 连读，ever went out with 轻快带过。
That was the nicest thing anyone ever said about my cooking. 那是别人对我厨艺最好的评价。
“What the hell is that?”
那到底是什么鬼东西？
把震惊、抗拒和不客气全压进一句短问，比直接骂更冲。

看到离谱的东西脱口而出时用；对长辈或正式场合别用这种带脏字的说法。
What on earth is that? ／ What in the world is that?

Look, our files are confidential, Mr. Barish, So I can't show you evidence. Suffice it to say that Miss, uh-- Miss Kruczynski was not happy, And she wanted to move on. We provide that possibility.
听着，我们的资料是保密的，巴里什先生，所以我不能给你看证据。 这么说吧，克鲁钦斯基小姐，呃——她当时不太满意， 她想往前走了。 我们就提供这种可能。
下一章 · 06on a par with和……不相上下这场戏：诊所里给大脑画地图意思是「闹着玩、一时兴起」，指做一件大事却没什么正经理由。比如 She erased you as a lark 就是「她删掉你，几乎就是闹着玩」，语气带着点冷酷。
常见说法是 move on，也可以说 move on with your life。分手、离职、搬家之后想劝自己或别人别困在过去，都可以用。
用来一句话否认某件事存在，意思是「压根没这回事」。比如 There's no such thing as this，就是「根本就没有这种东西」，常带惊讶或不相信。
不一样。expired 指优惠、卡券、证件过了有效期；used up 指东西被用完。优惠过了新年就失效，英语说 That offer expired after the new year。
意思是「消停会儿、别闹了」，用来嫌对方没完没了。对着一直吵、一直缠的人喊一句 Give it a rest!，比直接骂人温和一点，但态度很明确。
