这场戏：跳舞属于自由的人
第 10 章 · 共 18 章 · 4'08"
乔乔又编了一封内森的信来气艾莎。回家路上，罗茜却认真讲起浪漫：Love is the strongest thing in the world（爱是世上最强大的东西）。乔乔嘴硬说跳舞是没工作的人干的，罗茜回他 Dancing is for people who are free（跳舞是给自由的人干的）。想学怎么聊爱、讲自由和嘴硬顶嘴，这段又俏皮又心酸。

乔乔先演了一出恶作剧：他编出第二封「内森的信」，念给艾莎听，字里行间羞辱她，还顺手把监视犹太人那套名字游戏搬出来胡闹。吵到最后，乔乔问 If you find any more of those letters, will you let me know?（你要是再找到那种信，能告诉我吗？），对方干脆地答 Sure（好）。随后罗茜带乔乔走在河岸边，说这些河岸 used to（从前）满是情侣，有跳舞有唱歌；她还认真地说 Love is the strongest thing in the world（爱是世上最强大的东西）。乔乔偏要抬杠，说跳舞是没工作的人干的，罗茜淡淡回他 Dancing is for people who are free（跳舞是给自由的人干的）。想学怎么聊爱、讲自由和顶嘴，这里很动人。

下一章 · 11boss around呼来喝去这场戏：现编犹太传说哄小孩意思是「自己弄明白、想出办法」，常用来鼓励别人独立解决。台词里那句 You'll figure it out, darling 就是「你会想明白的，宝贝」，语气既温柔又放手。
break up with someone。台词里的假信说 I don't want to break up with you now，就是「我现在不想跟你分手了」。break up 也可单独用，表示关系断了。
不是。fed up 意思是「受够了、烦透了」，后面常接 with。I'm fed up 就是「我烦透了」，比 I'm annoyed 更口语、更带情绪。
get a move on，是催人的口语。Come on, Shitler. Let's get a move on 就是「快走，咱们动作快点」，朋友之间、长辈催小孩都能用。
多数时候是反话，等于「一点都不意外」。看到事情果然如你所料发生时，淡淡来一句 Surprise, surprise，比直接说 I knew it 更有讽刺味。
