为星座吵到翻脸：out of line
聚会上，有人坚信星座能决定命运，对方一句 If astrology were true, twins would have the same fate（如果星座是真的，双胞胎就该有同样的命运）直接开怼，还甩出 If you don't know what you're talking about, why don't you try not talking?（不懂就别开口）。两人越吵越凶，最后闹到街边车里。想学怎么用英文优雅地怼人，这几句够用。
发生了什么
聚会上，杰克谈起自己又单身了，话题转到星座。有人坚称行星位置会影响性格、还说完全能证明，杰克一句 If astrology were true, twins would have the same fate（如果星座是真的，双胞胎就该有同样的命运）把它驳回去，又甩出 If you don't know what you're talking about, why don't you try not talking?（不懂就别开口）。散场后，醉酒的萨姆不肯上车，他只能连喊 Get in the car（上车），两人在车里彻底翻脸。
这场戏看什么
- 听肯如何追问前女友
- 看杰克当众拽走萨姆
- 抓星座段的反讽语气

健身、锻炼
You have to work out, huh?当心点、注意点
- I gotta... gotta watch it, you know? - I saw Sally the other night.到底什么情况
- Hmm. - So, so, I mean, so what's the deal?拿我问责、把这话算在我头上
酒会上醉酒的肯拉着杰克说真心话；他先声明自己喝多了，别把接下来那句「你放走了莎莉」算在他头上。
I'm drunk so don't hold me responsible, but, Jack, you gave up a great one when you gave up Sally.放走了一个很好的人
I'm drunk so don't hold me responsible, but, Jack, you gave up a great one when you gave up Sally.别担心、不用担心
I mean, not to worry. She'll be all right.越界、说得或做得过分了
肯喝醉后当众说杰克「放走了莎莉」，杰克嫌他越界；肯不肯认错，反而反问杰克难道不是好好的吗。
Don't tell me I'm out of line. You're okay, right?对彼此是认真的
Hey, what do you think? I mean, are they serious about each other?面部整形、做过脸部医美
聚会上杰克和朋友聊起前妻莎莉的新男友，杰克追问莎莉近况，说她气色真好，是不是做过脸部整形，口无遮拦。谁对谁说：杰克向知情的朋友打听莎莉。
She looked great. Has she had face work?对性格产生影响
Why wouldn't the position of the planets have an influence on our personalities?很容易被驳倒
That's easy to refute.满月时
They know there is more crime during a full moon, right?不在身边、不在场
She's been with me two months. Her father's not around.宇宙的奥秘
We were solving the secrets of the universe.表明一个观点、讲清一个立场
被追问星座有没有道理时，信星座的那位坚持自己只是在说明一个观点，不是在跟人吵架。谁对谁说：相信星座的客人对质疑他的杰克说。
What can I tell you? I'm just making a point.再强调也不为过
It is crucial to your life. I cannot stress this strongly enough, you know.（反讽）新鲜主意
That's a novel idea for you.把事情弄得更糟
Let's get out of here before you make it any worse, for Christ's sake.狗屁、胡说八道——用于骂对方一套说法全是废话，攻击性强；夫妻或熟人吵架可以用，正式场合、长辈面前不能出口。
This bullshit all the time about astrology. It's so stupid. I've told you.听腻了你的废话
I'm so sick of listening to your crap about soy beans and Zen foods and the fuckin' Zodiac.你那套废话、鬼扯——表示听腻了对方的胡扯，带轻蔑；熟人之间发泄可以用，对上级或不熟的人属于冒犯。
I'm so sick of listening to your crap about soy beans and Zen foods and the fuckin' Zodiac.（粗）扯些没用的废话
They're trying to make an intellectual conversation, and you're jerking off about tofu and crystals or something.疯了、失去理智
Goddamn, I must have been out of my mind.耍小聪明、装可爱
- You trying to be cute? - No!看懂「为星座吵到翻脸」
这一章能学到
- 理解“jerk off about”在本场的具体语气
- 分清“a novel idea”的字面和实际作用
- 听出说话者如何推进这次对话
If astrology were true, twins would have the same fate.如果星座是真的，双胞胎就该有同样的命运。 用一个无法反驳的假设句拆掉整套星象论：同样的出生时刻，命运却不同。逻辑简单，杀伤力最大。
If you don't know what you're talking about, why don't you try not talking?如果你不知道自己在说什么，那就别说了行不行？ 用同一句话的否定回敬对方，像关门一样干净。没有脏字，却比骂人更让人无话可说。
That's a novel idea for you.对你来说这可真是个新鲜主意。 表面夸「新鲜」，其实在说「你从来不动脑子」。一个形容词就把反讽全部扛住。
Look, we were together a lot of years. She's a great lady. I know.听着，我们在一起很多年。她是个很好的女人。我知道。 醉话里最清醒的一句：承认对方好，也承认自己知道。没有辩解，只有认账。
关于这一章的问题
out of line 是什么意思？
指越界、说了或做了不该说的话和事，常用于提醒对方「你过分了」。片里有人喝多了说了重话，就先用 don't tell me I'm out of line 顶回去。
「不懂就别开口」英语怎么说？
可以说 If you don't know what you're talking about, why don't you try not talking? 前半句点出对方不懂，后半句用反问怼回去，比直接说 shut up 更扎。
make a point 是什么意思？
意思是「表明一个观点、讲清一个立场」，不是单纯的吵架。片里有人说 What can I tell you? I'm just making a point，就是「我只是在讲个道理」。
face work 是什么意思？
指面部整形、做过脸部医美，比 plastic surgery 更口语。片里问 She looked great. Has she had face work?，就是怀疑对方做了脸。
hold me responsible 怎么用？
意思是「把这话算在我头上、拿我担责」。片里说话的人先声明自己喝醉了，用 don't hold me responsible 打预防针，再说出那句重的。
