深夜夫妻翻婚姻旧账:to the best of my knowledge

凌晨一点,两人躺在床上,话题从杰克和莎莉的分手,一路引到自己:会不会也分手?要不要再生一个?一句 It's cruel to bring life into this terrible world(把生命带到这个糟糕的世界太残忍),被顶回来:don't glorify your refusal on philosophical grounds(别把拒绝包装成哲学)。想学夫妻深夜互怼怎么说,这些最真实。

发生了什么

深夜一点,盖布和朱迪躺在床上,话题从朋友的分手聊到自己。朱迪提杰克从没给那个女人打电话、还知道把号码扔了,也算 had the decency to(总算还有点分寸),又顺口说莎莉在床上很冷淡,接着反问:那我呢?气氛开始走偏。她说你今晚情绪怪怪的,是杰克和莎莉的分手影响了你;两个人干脆问出口:我们会不会也分手?往下是更重的题:她想要第二个孩子,对方却说把生命带到这个糟糕的世界太残忍,被一句 don't glorify your refusal on philosophical grounds(别把拒绝包装成哲学)顶了回去。想学亲密关系里试探、抱怨、翻旧账的说法,这些对话全是素材。

看懂「深夜夫妻翻婚姻旧账」

这一章能学到

  • 理解“to the best of one's knowledg
  • 分清“straitlaced”的字面和实际作用
  • 听出说话者如何推进这次对话
Oh, don't glorify your refusal on philosophical grounds.

哦,别把你的拒绝包装成什么哲学立场。 一句话戳破用大道理掩盖的小气:不是世界太糟,是你不想。它把漂亮的借口拆到只剩动机。

Oh, that's just bullshit. You know, when we wanted to, we found time.

哦,那纯粹是胡扯。你知道,我们想做的时候,总能挤出时间。 用一句大白话拆掉「没时间」的托词:时间从来不是问题,愿不愿意才是。

Well, then we're definitely stuck with one another.

那我们就只好互相耗着了。 把「谁更吃得开」的较量收成一句自嘲:比来比去,最后谁也没赢,还得一起过。

Remember that? Now you remember it, you know, in a glorified way.

记得吗?现在你回想起来,却把它美化了。 点破人对过去的自动修图:当年的勉强,回头都成了浪漫。这句比争吵更狠,因为它说的是记忆本身在撒谎。

关于这一章的问题

to the best of my knowledge 是什么意思?

意思是「就我所知」,说话人给自己留余地,表示信息不一定百分之百准。片里用它补一句「据我所知他没打那个电话」。

「总算还有点分寸」英语怎么说?

had the decency to。decency 是「体面、分寸」,原句说至少他还知道把号码扔掉,算是 had the decency to do something。

「让人觉得意外」用英语怎么讲?

come as a surprise,字面是「作为意外到来」。原句说莎莉冷淡这事 shouldn't come as a surprise,就是「也不该让人意外」。

「一本正经的」英语怎么说?

straitlaced,形容人古板、拘谨、放不开。原句说杰克不是找妓女的人,Jack is very straitlaced,就是「杰克很正经」。

「有冲动做某事」英语怎么表达?

have the urge to。urge 是强烈的冲动,原句 Do you ever have the urge to sleep with a whore,就是问「有没有过这种冲动」。

「只好互相耗着」英语怎么说?

be stuck with one another。stuck 是「被困住」,原句 Well, then we're definitely stuck with one another,语气无奈又带点认命。
