Mighty Aphrodite · 1995 — 第 6 / 15 章 · 2'52" · B2

饭桌上听她讲身世:gone straight

饭桌上,伦尼一顿追问,套出琳达的身世:继父换了一个又一个,亲生的 hereditary father(有血缘的那个父亲)是毒贩加偷车贼,她跟继父都 get along(处不来)。她说起那位据说聪明绝顶的叔叔,感叹他要是 gone straight(改邪归正),数学说不定特别好。想学聊家世、聊浪子回头,这几句很有意思。

发生了什么

伦尼请琳达吃饭,一边套话一边记笔记。琳达讲起自己的家:妈妈换了好几任丈夫,她跟其中一个继父 get along(处不来);提到有血缘的 hereditary father(有血缘的那个父亲),她说那是毒贩加偷车贼,还扒窃、入室盗窃,最后因为邮政诈骗被抓。她又提到那位聪明绝顶的叔叔,说他要是 gone straight(改邪归正),数学兴许特别好。她端盘子、做过电话性爱,偶尔还 turn a few tricks(接几档性交易),后来被人拉去拍电影。直到伦尼追问「你有没有想过要孩子」,她才说:以前确实有过一个孩子,但那是段伤心事,等以后再讲。想说「处不来」「改邪归正」「有血缘的父亲」,这一场全都有。

本章全部批注

59 句台词里标了 27 处

短语 · B1moved in

这里的“moved in”在第2处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。

I mean, I don't know if she married him, but he moved in.
语法 · B1if she married him

嵌入疑问从句:if 从句作 know 的内容,表示“我不知道她是否嫁给了他”。

I mean, I don't know if she married him, but he moved in.

之类的——口语列举时收尾,正式表达少用。

看懂「饭桌上听她讲身世」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 get along 表达相处融洽
  • 听懂 turn a few tricks 的委婉暗示
  • 掌握 in order to 引出的目的表达
  • 用过去时复述一段人生经历
  • 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气

发音重点

  • I don't know — don't 和 know 连读,句中弱读后会更快。
  • ran away when — ran away 连起来,away 的元音自然带到 when。
  • in order to — order to 中 to 弱读,三词整体一口气说。
  • done it in — done it in 连起来,n 与后面的元音衔接。
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。

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。

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。

But if he had gone straight, he might have been very good in math.

不过,要是他当年改邪归正,说不定数学会学得特别好。 用最轻描淡写的一句假设给一个罪犯的人生做总结,荒诞和惋惜挤在一起。

What for? They're all assholes.

为了什么?他们全都是混蛋。 一个反问加一句粗暴的总结,把对婚姻的全盘否定说得干脆又扎人。

关于这一章的问题

hereditary father 是什么意思?

指「有血缘关系的那个父亲」,也就是生父,用来跟继父区分。戏里琳达的生父是毒贩、偷车贼,还因邮政诈骗被抓。

「改邪归正」英语怎么说?

说 go straight,指不再干违法的事。戏里她感慨那位叔叔要是 gone straight,数学说不定特别好。

get along 是什么语气?

指「相处得来、合得来」,否定式常用于说两个人处不来。戏里她说跟那个酒鬼继父就是处不来。

dough 是「面团」吗?

除了面团,俚语里也指「钱」。戏里说为了 make some dough,就是「为了赚点钱」。

turn a few tricks 是什么意思?

是委婉说法,指「偶尔接几档性交易」。戏里琳达用它交代自己那段时间是怎么挣钱的,语气很坦白。
