看懂「求婚成功电话报喜」

这一章能学到

  • 会用 Will you marry me 求婚
  • 会用 set a date 约婚期
  • 能听懂 in love with you 的告白
  • 知道 call right away 形容哪种朋友

发音重点

  • psyched for you — 重音压紧 psyched 的重音节,for 轻收成 /fər/,you 顺着滑出去,气息不在虚词上停。
  • wanna call — wanna 是 want to 的口语,t 音基本吞掉
Zooey, I know it's only been eight months, but I am so madly, insanely, ridiculously in love with you.

佐伊,我知道才八个月,但我爱你爱得发疯、发狂、发痴。 三个副词层层加码,把热恋里顾不得体面的那股劲儿全说出来了。

It is impossible to find a good guy in this city.

在这座城市里根本找不到好男人。 抱怨里带着都市单身人的共鸣,短而狠,一句话就成口号。

No, he's not really a "call right away" kind of friend.

不,他不是那种「随叫随到」的朋友。 用引号造出一个身份标签,一句话把人分门别类,又刻薄又好笑。

You do not know how Iucky you are.

你根本不知道自己有多走运。 把羡慕和提醒压进一句,是朋友之间最容易复用的那种感叹。

关于这一章的问题

put a down payment on 是什么意思?

意思是「给……付首付」,买房、买车谈钱时常用。台词里彼得说自己能先付一块地的首付,剩下的钱还够办婚宴。近似说法还有 make a down payment。

「把日子定下来」英语怎么说?

就说 set a date。订婚、结婚、办活动定日期都能用,比如 Have you set a date?(日子定了吗?)。台词里佐伊被问到婚期,回答 June 30th in Santa Barbara。

「深深地爱上你」用英语怎么说才地道?

in love with you 就是最常用的说法,前面还能加副词加强语气,像彼得说的 madly, insanely, ridiculously in love with you。想说「我爱上你了」,I'm in love with you 比 I love you 更重。

朋友之间互相骂 asshole 是认真的吗?

不是。彼得开玩笑说佐伊没把他放在快速拨号第一位,对方笑着骂回来,是好友间没大没小的玩笑。asshole 是脏话,只适合特别熟的人之间闹着玩。

晚餐那场为什么聊起彼得有没有朋友?

彼得说自己小时候常搬家,交不到长期的朋友,罗比却总有朋友。这也点出他缺男性好友,是全片找伴郎的由头。想表达「跟人更合得来」,可以用 connect better with。
