闺蜜嫌他没朋友:strike up a conversation

准新娘的闺蜜嘀咕说彼得没朋友,最好的朋友还是自己妈,彼得听完决定去交朋友。哥哥自告奋勇:见到顺眼的人就 strike up a conversation(主动搭话),再约个「男会」;实在不行,get Mom to fix you up(让妈给你牵线)。想认识新朋友又开不了口,这几句正好用。

发生了什么

佐伊的闺蜜们私下议论,说彼得没朋友,最好的朋友居然是自己妈,婚礼上要是两人单独走红毯就太怪了。彼得听见后决定去交朋友,哥哥罗比立刻自告奋勇:他自称直男是自己的 specialty(专长),教彼得看到顺眼的人就 strike up a conversation(主动搭话),再约对方吃个午饭或下班喝一杯,还叮嘱绝不能带人去看电影。他甚至还说要上网认识人、让妈 fix you up(牵线介绍)。这些说法适合聊婚礼、求人帮忙、以及想跟陌生人开启对话的场合。

Your brother's a crazy person. One dinner won't kill you.

你弟弟是个疯子。吃顿饭又不会要了你的命。 先骂自家人一句疯子,再轻飘飘推对方去吃饭,软硬都在一句话里。

关于这一章的问题

straight as an arrow 是什么意思?

字面是像箭一样直,可以形容人正直可靠;在这句里是双关,说那个戴婚戒的男人是直男。

「主动跟人搭话」英语怎么说?

可以说 strike up a conversation。剧中有人教彼得,看到顺眼的哥们就 strike up a conversation,再约对方出来。

walk down the aisle 只是指走红毯吗?

不止。它常特指结婚,因为婚礼上新娘或新人要走过通道。台词里说的是两人单独走红毯会有点怪,担心婚礼上没有伴郎。

not so much 在句子里怎么用?

它用来对比:前面说 A 容易,not so much 就是说 B 没那么容易。台词里说搭上人容易,交真正纯友谊的男性朋友 not so much。

won't kill you 是什么语气?

是劝人别怕、大胆试的语气,意思是又不会要你的命。剧中有人劝彼得,说弟弟是个疯子,但吃顿饭 one dinner won't kill you。
