印象正好相反
You do? I had the opposite impression.Husbands and Wives · 1992 — 第 7 / 15 章 · 2'42" · C1
两个朋友在午饭上聊分开:一个说像 It's like pulling a bad tooth(就像拔掉一颗坏牙),婚姻里的失望和旧怨「一拽全干净,你就自由了」;另一个补一句 The clock ticks faster for a woman(对女人来说,时钟走得更快),所以得趁 a much better shot(胜算大得多)的时候重新开始。想学聊分手与再婚,这段很顺。
两个朋友吃午饭,话题绕不开刚发生的分手。有人说分开像 It's like pulling a bad tooth(就像拔掉一颗坏牙),婚姻里那些 festering wounds(溃烂未愈的伤口)被 one clean yank(一下拽干净),人就自由了。另一个提醒 The clock ticks faster for a woman(对女人来说时钟走得更快),得趁还有魅力时行动;她还想通了当初自己为什么生气,说那一定是 touched a nerve(戳到痛处)。最后她提议把办公室的迈克尔·盖茨介绍给对方。

You have to do it while you still have some allure left.得趁自己还有几分魅力的时候动手。 把重新开始说成一场限时交易:魅力是会过期的筹码。这句的坦白里带着自嘲和清醒。

All the festering wounds of your marriage, the disappointments, the resentments, they're gone in one clean yank, and you're free.婚姻里那些化脓的伤口、失望、怨恨,一下子全拽干净了,你就自由了。 把离婚写成拔牙:痛、脓、一次拽净、然后自由。整段用身体感受讲抽象的痛苦,画面极强。
字面是碰到神经,实际指戳到对方的痛处、说中了敏感的旧伤。片里解释某人为什么会突然发火,用的就是这句。
说 It's like pulling a bad tooth。用来比喻长痛不如短痛:虽然疼,但一下解决掉,之后反而轻松。片里用它形容分手。
指事情还没发生,人先紧张害怕起来。片里说那些担心都是 anticipatory anxiety,就是提醒对方:真到那一步,往往没你想象的那么糟。
shot 在口语里可以指「机会、把握」,a much better shot at 就是「做成某件事的胜算大得多」。后面接动名词,如 a better shot at making it work。
字面是化脓、烂着的伤口,用来比喻积压很久、一直没处理的怨气和伤害。片里把婚姻里的失望、怨恨都说成 festering wounds。
