金句
这句话本身就很棒——棒在哪、怎么用“And for years I thought it was because of my cooking.”
好多年我都以为,是因为我的厨艺才导致了那件事。
把沉重悲剧落到蛤蜊酱上,冷面反差特别地道。
I thought it was because of...
解释自己长期误判某件事的原因时使用。
I used to think it was because of... / I assumed it was due to...
informal
重读 years、because、cooking,句尾轻轻收住。
“And I remember thinking to myself, "I like acting. I wanna study."”
我记得自己当时还在想:我喜欢演戏,我要去学。
在荒诞经历里突然冒出朴素理想,反差又诚恳又好笑。
I remember thinking to myself...
回忆某个瞬间突然意识到一件事时使用。
I remember telling myself... / I found myself thinking...
informal
thinking to myself 连起来,I like 与 I wanna 前后形成节奏。
“If I ever know you better.”
要是我以后真的能更了解你,再说吧。
用一个半截条件句礼貌挡回追问,暧昧里带着防备。
If I ever know you better...
不想立刻透露隐私,又想保留余地时使用。
If we get to know each other better... / Maybe I'll tell you when I know you better.
informal
If I ever 弱读,better 后降调,留出未说尽的余味。
精彩独白
一个人撑起的一段戏,值得整段跟读I'm very hungry, actually. Um, so then I ran away when I was 14. Mm-hmm. And it was terrible because we fought all the time, Lenny. Finally, he committed suicide. And for years I thought it was because of my cooking. He always hated my clam sauce. And so then I kicked around from Chicago, Philadelphia, you know. All over the place. And I ended up here. You never thought of just getting a regular job? Oh, yeah. Sure, I did. No, I did things. I waited on tables. I worked in a massage parlor. I did phone sex. Now and then I would, you know, turn a few tricks in order to make some dough. And one day my friend Susie calls me and she asks me if I want to be in a film. Something called Snatch Happy. And I said, "Sure." And I remember I was very nervous... because I'd never done it in front of people with a camera before, you know. And so there I am on the first day, on the set. And there's this guy fucking me from behind, right? And there's these two huge guys dressed like cops in my mouth at the same time. And I remember thinking to myself, "I like acting. I wanna study."
其实我很饿。呃,然后我十四岁那年离家出走了。 嗯哼。 那可惨了,因为我们成天吵架,伦尼。 最后,他自杀了。 好多年我都以为是因为我做饭的缘故。 他一直讨厌我做的蛤蜊酱。 后来我就从芝加哥、费城一路漂泊,你懂的。 到处混。最后我就到了这里。 你就没想过找份正经工作? 哦,想过,当然想过。不,我做过不少事。 我端过盘子,在按摩院工作过,还做过电话性爱。 我有时候也会接点皮肉活儿,为了赚点钱。 有一天,我的朋友苏西给我打电话,问我想不想演一部电影。 片名好像叫《Snatch Happy》。我说:“好啊。” 我记得当时特别紧张…… 因为以前从没在有摄像机的情况下,当着别人做过那种事,你懂的。 所以第一天我就到了片场。 结果有个家伙从后面操我,对吧? 同时还有两个打扮成警察的大块头在我嘴里。 我记得我当时还在想:“我喜欢演戏,我要去学习。”
