这场戏：向孩子解释新男友
第 3 章 · 共 12 章 · 3'15"
院子里有人喊孩子去捡，旁边马上说 like they're dogs（把人当狗使）。问自己往后会不会没事，得到的是 the wrong guy（问错窗口了）。一个是嫌对方带孩子的方式，一个是承认自己也给不了准话。家里临时多一个大人，这两句都用得上。
生宝宝就得结婚？supposed to 是按规矩应该
something neat 一件挺妙的小事supposed to 按规矩应该That's exactly right 完全正确
把人当狗使，嫌这事就说 like they're dogs
like they're dogs 把人当狗使making an effort 人确实在花力气去做bad genes 基因不好，会往下传give him a break 饶过这一轮
❝ 独白 · 6 句 问错窗口了，英语说 the wrong guy
go ape shit 兴奋到失控as much as 喜欢的程度要赶上另一个人point out 把一件事点到明处the wrong guy 问错窗口了
早饭桌上，有人把一个以前从没见过的人介绍成新男友。后来有人抛出 something neat（一件挺妙的小事），说要一起生宝宝。有人问 Aren't you supposed to be married（按规矩应该），另一边把相爱、结婚、生宝宝排成顺序。孩子讲完送子鸟、流血和屁股掉下来，有人接 that's exactly right（完全正确），后面没人改这套说法。孩子拿草喂熊时，有人说 smoke it（点着抽，暗指大麻）。接着有人跟孩子玩捡球，旁边说 like they're dogs（把人当狗使），又提到胖和基因，才有人劝 give him a break（饶过这一轮）。最后问自己会不会没事，得到 the wrong guy（问错窗口了）。家里突然多一个人，或想接住小孩的荒唐话，这几句都能用。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“Aren't you supposed to be married to have a baby?”
要宝宝不是得先结婚吗？
小孩把大人的人生顺序编成反问，认真得可笑，又没处躲。
Aren't you supposed to ...?
朋友较真问规矩时能用，对上司别用反问。
Don't people usually get married first? ／ Isn't marriage supposed to come first?
中性
反问先扬，supposed 加重，后半句别抢。
Aren't you supposed to tell me when the train is late? 火车晚点，你不是该跟我说一声吗？
“He's treating my kids like they're dogs.”
他拿我的孩子当狗在逗。
一个游戏被一句话改成指控，比喻狠，词却都好懂。
treat ... like they're ...
嫌对方把人当宠物时，对身边人说；当面取笑别用。
You're handling them like pets. ／ That's how you talk to a dog.
口语
treating 加重，like 后一顿，dogs 落下。
You're treating the intern like they're your assistant. 你把实习生当成私人助理在使唤。
“I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles.”
真希望我喜欢什么东西，能像我孩子喜欢泡泡那样。
用孩子对泡泡的疯劲，量出大人什么都爱不起来。
I wish I + 过去式 + as much as + 另一件事
跟好友感叹自己高兴不起来时说，炫耀的人面前别用。
I wish I wanted anything that badly. ／ Nothing lights me up the way bubbles light them up.
口语
wish 后换气，much 最重，bubbles 轻收。
I wish I liked Mondays as much as my dog likes a walk. 真希望我喜欢星期一，能像我的狗喜欢散步那样。
“Their smiling faces just point out your inability to enjoy anything.”
他们的笑脸正好点明：你已经什么都享受不了。
笑脸不安慰人，反而被拿来当证据，证明你不会高兴。
point out one's inability to…
熟人感叹自己高兴不起来，你顺势点他一句时用；安慰人或正式场合别用。
Their joy just shows what you can't feel. ／ Those smiles make your flat mood obvious.
口语
faces 连着走，inability 放慢再点明。
Those photos just point out your inability to sit still. 这些照片正好指出你就是坐不住。
“Is anybody okay? I'm not okay.”
有谁还好？我不好。
先问所有人，再把自己摘出去，丧得干脆，没有安慰。
Is anybody ...? I'm not ....
自己也垮了、不想再给熟人打包票时说；刚认识的人面前别这么丧。
Is anyone actually fine? I'm not. ／ Does anybody have it together? I don't.
口语
两个 okay 都别轻，问号处停半拍。
Is anybody sleeping? I'm not sleeping. 有谁睡得着？我睡不着。
“You're asking the wrong guy.”
你问错人了。
不装懂，也不安慰，直接告诉对方：这问题我答不了。
You're asking the wrong ....
对方拿你当顾问、你自己也乱时说，真有答案就别推。
You've got the wrong person. ／ Don't look at me for a straight answer.
口语
asking 放轻，wrong guy 两个词咬住。
For a calm speech, you picked the wrong guy in this room. 你想要一段稳当的发言，这屋里你找错人了。
Oh, God. They go ape shit over bubbles. They're really going ape shit. I mean, that's an incredible thing about a child. I mean, what's so great about bubbles? They float. You can pop them. I mean, I get it. I get it. I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles.
哦，天哪。他们一见泡泡就疯得不行。 他们是真的疯得不行。 说真的，小孩这一点真不可思议。 说真的，泡泡到底有什么好？ 会飘，还能戳破。我懂，我懂。 我真希望自己能像我孩子喜欢泡泡那样，喜欢点什么。
下一章 · 04out the window一下子全作废这场戏：闪过逃去加拿大按规矩应该。有人问 Aren't you supposed to be married to have a baby，就是拿「生宝宝要不要先结婚」这条默认规矩来对质。不是下命令，是觉得事情没按那个顺序来。
说 give him a break。数落已经从玩捡球说到胖和基因，有人劝 Just give him a break，就是叫这一轮先停。后面是 I'll try，只是答应尽量，不是保证做得到。
说 the wrong guy，整句是 You're asking the wrong guy。前面有人问 Am I gonna be okay，接着出现 who knows，又出现 I'm not okay，最后才是这句。它是在挡问题，不是在打包票。
字面是完全正确。孩子刚讲完送子鸟丢下宝宝、身上裂开一个洞、血从头上冒出来、屁股掉下来再挖出宝宝，接着就是 That's exactly right，后面也没人改这套说法。至于是认真同意还是懒得纠正，对白看不出来。
把人当狗使。先有 He's playing fetch with my kids，接着是 He's treating my kids like they're dogs，后面还问 Who plays fetch with kids。扔出去、喊捡回来，被当成对狗的玩法。
