这场戏：到报社提出辞职
第 2 章 · 共 18 章 · 5'02"
希尔迪到报社，当面告诉前夫兼前老板沃尔特：I'm through（我不干了），还亮出订婚戒指说要再婚。对方又劝又哄，撂下 I haven't any hard feelings（我一点不记恨），再拿加薪和独家新闻留人。想学怎么干脆地辞职、怎么用英语说「不记恨」，这段对话最直接。
no longer（不再是）：一句话划清丈夫和老板两个身份
no longer 不再是a novelty to 难得的新鲜事You bet 那当然
❝ 独白 · 4 句 希尔迪数落记者行当
一连串具体画面把记者行当的狼狈数落到底，火气里有自嘲。
希尔迪来到报社，找前夫兼前老板沃尔特摊牌：她要再婚、要离开新闻这行。沃尔特不肯放人，一会儿回忆蜜月，一会儿提出 Come back to work on the paper（回来接着在报社干），说 if we can't get along（要是合不来）就再结一次婚。希尔迪态度坚决，说 I'm through（我不干了）、The paper's going to have to get along without me（报社得习惯没我）。沃尔特则强调 I haven't any hard feelings（我一点不记恨），转头又拿加薪和独家新闻诱导，甚至拿订婚戒指逼她表态。想学辞职、分手这类场合的说法，be through（不干了）和 hard feelings（记恨）都很实用。

下一章 · 03take the wind out of someone's sail让人泄气这场戏：约见未婚夫暗中试探hard feelings 是「记恨、怨气」，常出现在 no hard feelings 里，意思是别往心里去、不记仇。戏里有人说 I haven't any hard feelings，就是「我一点不记恨」，分手、辞职都能用。
be through 是「不干了、结束了」，指一件事或一段关系到此为止。戏里那句 I'm through 就是「我不干了」；说人也可以，如 You and I are through。
用 get along。问两个人处得怎么样就说 How do you two get along；说某人走了日子照样过，用 get along without，如 The paper's going to have to get along without me。
用 work out，常说不定式 It didn't work out，就是「没成」。谈感情、谈计划落空都能用；反过来 It worked out 就是「成了、挺顺」。
说 making eyes at someone。戏里那句 Making eyes at me until I broke down，就是「一个劲儿冲我放电，把我勾得撑不住」，半开玩笑地怪对方主动。
