亨伯特找到已嫁人又穷困的洛丽塔，听她坦白当年真正痴迷的是奎尔蒂：他带她去新墨西哥，逼她拍片，不肯就把她赶走。她想把旧账一笔带过，说 the past is the past（过去就过去了）；亨伯特只回一句 You could have come back to me（你本可以回到我身边）。旧情对话里的冷淡心酸，全在这几句。

亨伯特找到已嫁人、怀孕又穷困的洛丽塔。她提起当年他搬进她家，说自己 had a crush on（暗恋过）奎尔蒂，还夸他是天才、有东方式的人生哲学。奎尔蒂带她去新墨西哥的 dude ranch（度假牧场），要她跟一群怪人配合拍「艺术电影」，她不肯，就被赶走。她说 the past is the past（过去就过去了），还说他是自己唯一真正 crazy about（痴迷）的男人；亨伯特只回一句 You could have come back to me（你本可以回到我身边）。随后迪克和邻居比尔回来，聊起去阿拉斯加的机会。翻旧账、坦白、放下的场合，这些说法都用得上。

“...my whole world didn't revolve around you.”
……我的整个世界并不是围着你转的。
一句迟到的宣告，把多年被当作中心的人拉回原位，平静却颠覆全局。
my whole world didn't revolve around you
回击自我中心的人时用，语气要稳；关系正紧张时说出来很伤，慎用。
not everything was about you ／ my world didn't center on you
中性
revolve around 连读，重音落在 whole 和 you，句尾下沉。
My whole world didn't revolve around you, you know. 我的整个世界又不是围着你转的。
“I guess he was the only guy I was ever really crazy about.”
他大概是我唯一真正着迷过的人。
承认得轻描淡写，却很狠：听起来是坦白，其实是对眼前人的判决。
the only ... I was ever really crazy about
讲旧情时用，语气放低更重；对着当事人说会让人下不来台。
the only one I ever fell hard for ／ the only person I was ever wild about
口语
guess 轻带，重音在 only 和 crazy，about 收轻。
That city was the only place I was ever really crazy about. 那座城市是我唯一真正着迷过的地方。
“You have no right to say that. After all, the past is the past.”
你没资格这么说。毕竟，过去就过去了。
先划界再收口，用「过去就过去了」把责任一笔勾销，是这场戏最锋利的一句挡箭牌。
the past is the past
想把旧事翻篇时用，语气干脆；对还在受伤的人说，会被当成逃避责任。
what's done is done ／ it's all water under the bridge
中性
have no right 重读，the past is the past 平稳重复、收句下沉。
You have no right to bring that up; the past is the past. 你没资格再提那事，过去就过去了。
“You could have come back to me.”
你本来可以回到我身边的。
用 could have 点出那个没被选的选择，一句轻话里全是迟到的责怪和遗憾。
You could have ...
对错过的人表达遗憾或责怪时能用；事情已翻篇、关系又敏感，说之前要想清楚。
You could have said something. ／ You had the chance to come back.
中性
could have 缩成 could-uv，重音在 back，句尾轻轻落下。
You could have asked me for help; I was right there. 你本来可以找我帮忙的，我就在旁边。
“Look, don't make fun of me. I don't have to tell you a blasted thing.”
行了，别拿我开玩笑。我凭什么都得告诉你。
先用 Look 叫停，再用 blasted 这种老式脏字加码，把受审的委屈和倔强一起甩出来。
I don't have to ... a blasted thing.
被追问得烦、想划清界限时能用；对方是长辈或正式场合，换成 anything 更得体。
I don't owe you an explanation. ／ I don't have to tell you anything.
口语
don't make fun of me 连读，blasted 重读，thing 收得干脆。
I don't have to justify a blasted thing to a stranger. 我凭什么都用不着跟一个陌生人交代。
I'd had a crush on him ever since the times... ...that he used to come and visit Mother. He wasn't like you and me. He wasn't a normal person. He was a genius. He had a kind of... ...beautiful Japanese, Oriental philosophy of life. You know that hotel we stopped at on the way back from camp? It was just by accident that he was staying there... ...but it didn't take him long to figure out what was going on between us. From that moment on he was up to every trick he could think of.
我从那时候就一直暗恋他…… ……从他常来看妈妈那会儿起。 他跟你我不一样。 他不是个正常人。 他是个天才。 他有一种…… ……很美的日本式、东方式的人生哲学。 你知道我们从夏令营回来路上住的那家旅馆吧？ 他住那儿纯属巧合…… ……可他没多久就看出来我们俩之间的事了。 从那以后，他能想到的花招都使上了。
它是「过去就过去了」，用来劝人别再翻旧账、别再纠结。洛丽塔用这句话想把当年的事一笔带过，语气里有点冷淡，也有点回避。
就是 Congratulations, 但语气一沉就成了讽刺。亨伯特开头一句 Well, congratulations，是看到洛丽塔的处境后说的，一点恭喜的意思都没有。
可以说 figure out，比如 figure out what was going on 就是「弄明白发生了什么」。它常指靠推理或观察把事情想通，是日常很常用的短语。
它指美国西部那种供游客体验骑马、放牧的「度假牧场」，dude 是「城里来体验的客人」。洛丽塔说奎尔蒂带她去的正是圣菲附近的 dude ranch。
它是口语，指机器「出故障、不好使」，比如 the phone's on the blink 就是电话坏了。迪克让亨伯特大点声，就是因为他以为电话出了毛病。
