……这一整件事
Uh, oh, the whole thing of leaving the novel in the cab and everything.Husbands and Wives · 1992 — 第 13 / 15 章 · 3'26" · C1
女孩轻描淡写地说把小说落在了出租车上,作家先安抚说谁都可能碰上,还自称 in your corner(站在你这边)。可当她嫌书里对女人的态度「落伍陈旧」,说 retrograde,他立刻破防,甚至拿《意志的胜利》打比方反击。想学怎么批评一本书、又怎么被批评到翻脸,这段对话最典型。
女孩把小说弄丢在出租车上,又回头说书里某些态度让她受威胁。作家一边说 I'm in your corner(站在你这边)、是她最铁的粉丝,一边忍不住替自己辩护。等对方说书里看女人的方式 too retrograde(太落伍陈旧),他急了,搬出《意志的胜利》打比方,被质问是不是在鄙视她的思想。最后他直接喊停,说不需要一个二十岁的蠢货来教自己写作。

……这一整件事
Uh, oh, the whole thing of leaving the novel in the cab and everything.谁都可能碰上(不是你的错)
No, don't be silly. You know, it could happen to anybody.一时放错了地方
- You misplaced it for a moment. - No.可能受到了威胁(对过去的推测)
I think, maybe, I could have been threatened.天生就……
- That's abs... - I mean, I'm very competitive by nature.站在你这边、支持你
雷恩把盖布的小说批得一无是处,盖布却强调自己始终站在她这边,是她的头号粉丝,随后才露出真正的火气。
Because I'm in your corner. You know, I'm, I'm your biggest fan.某人最铁的粉丝
Because I'm in your corner. You know, I'm, I'm your biggest fan.某人的批评意见
No, tell me. Tell me what your criticisms were.有点失望
Uh, I was a little disappointed, I guess, with, uh, with some of your attitudes.纵容出轨
- That's... - The book doesn't condone affairs.为了喜剧效果
- I'm exaggerating for comic purposes. - Yeah.郊区生活的苦役、沉闷
I mean, but are our choices really between chronic dissatisfaction and suburban drudgery?小心别把它琐碎化
Well, you have to be careful not to trivialize with things like that.太落伍、太倒退
It's so retrograde. It's so shallow, you know?它背后的思想
It was a great movie, but you despise the ideas behind it.有失你的身份、配不上你
女作家质问她敬重的作家:作为一个成熟的思想者,让男主角把大把情绪耗在一段病态关系上,难道不觉得掉价吗。谁对谁说:年轻女作家对年长的作家盖布说。
Okay, isn't it beneath you, as a mature thinker, I mean,对某事念念不忘、过度迷恋
to allow your lead character to waste so much of this emotional energy obsessing over this psychotic relationship with a woman that you fantasize as powerfully sexual and inspired when,关于成熟的一顿说教
Look, let's stop this right now because I don't need a lecture on maturity or writing from a 20-year-old twit.突然翻脸、反过来攻击自己
盖布一边安慰痛哭的雷恩,一边数落她的毛病,说她转眼就翻脸攻击自己;这句话也是他替自己的火气找的由头。
And you're weeping, and I'm consoling you. And suddenly you turn on me.戳到痛处
Okay. I must have hit a nerve with you.活受罪、经历地狱般折磨
Boy, I'd hate to be your boyfriend. He must go through hell.I mean, but are our choices really between chronic dissatisfaction and suburban drudgery?我是说,可我们的选择真的只剩长期不满和郊区苦役吗? 把婚姻的两难压缩成两个刺眼的词:长期不满,或郊区苦役。它逼人承认,问题不在某一桩婚姻,而在选项本身。
It was a great movie, but you despise the ideas behind it.那是部伟大的电影,但你会鄙视它背后的思想。 把「作品」和「立场」切开:可以承认它伟大,同时否定它宣扬的东西。一句讲清了欣赏与认同的区别。
Look, let's stop this right now because I don't need a lecture on maturity or writing from a 20-year-old twit.听着,咱们现在就停。我不需要一个二十岁的蠢货来给我上课,教我什么叫成熟、怎么写作。 把对方的年龄和资格一起押上来:你才二十岁,凭什么给我讲成熟。伤人,但一针见血。
Okay. I must have hit a nerve with you.好吧。看来我戳到你的痛处了。 不接攻击、只点破对方的失控,把争论从内容转到情绪,反客为主。
字面是「在你的角落」,引申为「站在你这边、支持你」。片里说话的人一边批评一边强调 I'm in your corner,就是先表明立场:我不是你的敌人。
形容观念时表示「倒退的、落伍陈旧的」,常带批评意味。片里说主角看待女人的方式 too retrograde,等于说它思想老旧、跟不上时代。
不是「转向我」,而是「突然翻脸、反过来攻击我」。片里说你哭我安慰你,转眼你就 turn on me,说的就是这种猝不及防的反咬。
不算直接骂人,更像「有失你的身份、配不上你」的提醒。片里那句 isn't it beneath you 表面是抬举对方成熟,实际是借机把对方贬了一顿。
说 hit a nerve。也可以说 touch a nerve,意思是说到对方最敏感、最不想被提的地方。片里一方用 I must have hit a nerve with you 承认自己踩到了他的点。
