揭穿世界是游戏：food for thought
米莉和基斯为 NPC 竟然有私生活而激动，米莉却慌了，说自己让盖伊亲了她。安特万打算删掉所有代码，米莉只好进游戏摊牌：There is no easy way to say this, but this city is a game（这话没法说得轻松，但这座城市是个游戏）。想学报喜、翻车和坦白真相的说法，这段很戳。
发生了什么
米莉和基斯为实验成功而激动：Everything that we wanted to create, it actually happened（我们想创造的一切，真的实现了）。NPC 有了私生活，有人靠 trial and error（反复试错）学会了做卡布奇诺，炸弹美女还写了本控诉性别角色的回忆录。可米莉突然慌了：I let him kiss me（我让他亲我了）。紧接着两人发现安特万在撒谎、要把代码连同蓝衬衫全删掉，只好进游戏摊牌：There is no easy way to say this, but this city is a game（这话没法说得轻松，但这座城市是个游戏）。对面听完只问了一句 So, I'm fake?（所以，我是假的？）。想学英语里报喜、翻车、坦白真相的说法，这段又甜又虐。

反复试错
有人惊叹一个咖啡师居然是靠自己一遍遍试，才学会做卡布奇诺的。
One of the baristas learned how to make a cappuccino through trial and error.learn how to 结构：learn 后面接 how 加不定式，表示学会怎么做某事。这里强调这个咖啡师没有任何指导，全靠一次次的尝试摸索出来，把程序的学习能力写得很具体。
One of the baristas learned how to make a cappuccino through trial and error.trial 的 /l/ 滑进 and，and 弱成 /ən/，常连成 /ˈtraɪələn ˈerər/；重音落在 error 的第一音节。

And the Bombshell character in the game wrote a memoir that's a searing indictment of gender roles, the patriarchy.that 定语从句：that 从句紧跟 memoir，用来补充这本书的内容是什么。这里把一本回忆录直接定义成对性别角色的尖锐控诉，一句话就交代了它的分量。

Are you married?有史以来最糟的事
That would have been, like, the worst thing ever.给你看样东西

Tune in to the Kill Cam这话不好开口

这一章能学到
- 学会用 about to 说马上发生
- 见到 trial and error 知道是试错
- 听懂 NPC 就是非玩家角色
- 会用 no easy way 缓冲坏消息
发音重点
- trial and error — trial 的 /l/ 滑进 and，and 弱成 /ən/，常连成 /ˈtraɪələn ˈerər/；重音落在 error 的第一音节。
- not even — not even 里 not 末尾的 t 弹成轻轻的 d，连上 even，听起来像 no-deven。
- turned off — turned off 里 turned 末尾的 d 连上 off 的元音，弹成一个轻轻的音，听起来像 turn-doff。
But it's not just that it's like a game. It is a game.但不是说它像游戏。它就是游戏。 用「像」和「是」的一步之差，把整个世界观掀翻，平静的语气反而让这句话更重。
There is no easy way to say this, but this city is a game.这话不好开口，但这座城市就是个游戏。 先承认难说出口，再把残酷的事实一次说清，温柔和残忍挤在同一句里。
I mean, that's really difficult. I can't even do that.我是说，那真的很难。我自己都不会。 用一个真人自愧不如的对比夸程序，幽默里透着心虚，也是全片讨论「谁更像人」的缩影。
The first time I kiss a non-toxic guy in, like, forever and of course he's not even real!我好不容易吻上一个情绪健康的男的，结果他居然不是真人！ 把恋爱的挫败和虚拟世界的荒诞拧成一句话，自嘲、心酸又好笑，谁听了都想转述。
关于这一章的问题
food for thought 是什么意思？
意思是「值得思考的东西」，指一句话或一件事让人回去好好想想，常单独用，前面加一句 Also 也行。
trial and error 怎么用？
意思是「反复试错」，指靠一次次尝试和失败慢慢学会。through trial and error 就是「通过不断试错」。
toxic 只能形容毒吗？
不止。形容人、关系或环境时，toxic 指「消耗人的、有害的」。a non-toxic guy 就是「一个不渣的男生」。
main character 有什么特别意思？
除了「主角」，现在也常指「把自己当世界中心的人」。文中说自己 not even a main character，就是「连主角都不是」。
「这话不好开口」英语怎么说？
There is no easy way to say this。要宣布坏消息或难堪的事，先用这句铺垫，对方就有心理准备了。
