Husbands and Wives · 1992 — 第 14 / 15 章 · 3'55" · C1

床上吵到承认结束:go sour

床上翻旧账,越吵越难看:一方说对方受不了任何改变,另一方回一句 Change equals death(改变等于死亡),又被质问:You use sex to express every emotion except love(你用性表达每一种情绪,唯独没有爱)。吵到最后,只剩 Because it's over, and we both know it(因为结束了,咱们都清楚)。想学感情破裂时的英文表达,这段句句能抄。

发生了什么

这是盖布和朱迪在床上的摊牌:她嫌他对什么都很苛刻、很爱评判,他说自己受不了任何改变,甚至说 Change equals death(改变等于死亡);她反击 You use sex to express every emotion except love(你用性表达每一种情绪,唯独没有爱)。两人从写诗、心理咨询吵到调情,中间他翻出 Wild Strawberries(《野草莓》)和中央公园的旧回忆想缓和,却被一句 Because it's over, and we both know it(因为结束了,咱们都清楚)挡回去——Those memories. They're just memories(那些记忆,只是记忆)。

看懂「床上吵到承认结束」

这一章能学到

  • 理解“bullshit”在本场的具体语气
  • 分清“some kind of an insight”的字面和实
  • 听出说话者如何推进这次对话
Because it's over, and we both know it.

因为结束了,咱们都清楚。 不吵不闹,直接宣判:最伤人的不是分手,是「我们两个其实都知道」。一句话把自欺堵死。

You use sex to express every emotion except love.

你用性来表达每一种情绪,就除了爱。 一句精准的控诉:不是指责欲望,而是指出唯独缺席的那样东西。把「不会爱」说得冷静又致命。

In your own quiet way, you're as crazy as Harriet was.

你以自己那种安静的方式,跟哈丽雅特一样疯。 把「安静」和「疯狂」放在一起,反而更可怕:不用尖叫,也能一样失控。这句是对一个人最深的重新判断。

Those memories. They're just memories.

那些记忆。它们只是记忆。 重复让一个词失去重量:曾经撑起一段婚姻的东西,如今只剩「记忆」两个字。短短两句话,写尽结束。

关于这一章的问题

go sour 是什么意思?

指关系或事情慢慢变味、变坏,常形容感情、合作、计划。片里说 That's why relationships go sour,就是解释为什么感情会走到变味这一步。

「受不了、极其反感」英语怎么说?

说 can't stand,后面直接接人或事,如 I can't stand him。片里用它说一个人假装喜欢那些自己其实受不了的东西。

shrivel up 是什么画面?

指枯萎、干瘪、逐渐萎缩,常用来形容植物,也比喻人不成长就精神上枯萎。片里说 If you don't change, you just shrivel up,就是拿它警告对方。

on the surface 在这里怎么理解?

意思是「表面上看起来如此,实际未必」。片里说 You were on the surface, but not really,就是「你看着稳定,其实一点都不」。

Change equals death 是什么语气?

是把「改变」直接等同于「死亡」的极端说法,带点自嘲和防御。片里拿它当挡箭牌,结果被对方一句 bullshit 怼回去。
