是种荣幸
- It is an honor, sir. - How do you do?Husbands and Wives · 1992 — 第 10 / 15 章 · 3'47" · B2
盖布到雷恩父母家做客,被介绍给两位长辈。雷恩把他拉到一边,从头讲自己的情史:同时交往几个年长男人,连心理分析师也爱上了她,她只好 cleaned up my act(改邪归正)收了心。盖布听完只说:这素材够你写小说、续集和一部歌剧。想学怎么讲狗血情史又不失体面,这些是范本。
盖布来到雷恩父母家做客。进门是客套:这是我妈妈、这位是盖布·罗斯教授,父母连说荣幸,他们还是他的读者,希望他还写那些又好笑又伤感的故事。之后父母离开,雷恩把盖布拉到一边,决定 start from the beginning(从头说起):父亲的生意合伙人常来家里,有一天说爱上了她;后来朋友的父亲杰里也 mad crush over me(对她迷得不行),她一度同时和两个年长男人来往,却只觉得痛苦。她还说,后来遇见卡尔才 came to my senses(清醒过来),cleaned up my act(收心),可到头来觉得自己只是 lost youth(青春不再)的象征。盖布感叹这够写小说和歌剧了,父母又回来,请他去雷恩的生日派对。

My God. You've got material for your first novel, and the sequel and, and an opera by Puccini here.我的天。你这材料够写处女作、续集,再加一部普契尼歌剧了。 用一连串夸张的比喻说明她的生活有多离谱:小说、续集、歌剧全凑齐了。听的人越惊叹,她的处境越荒唐。
