Well, I'm sorry. You know, it's dark in here...Mighty Aphrodite · 1995 — 第 4 / 15 章 · 1'47" · B2
床上为「没了兴致」拌完嘴,伦尼又提起智商超高的马克斯,忍不住想查他的生母是谁。阿曼达劝他:Lenny, why rock the boat?(何必把平稳的日子搅乱),还搬出 Let sleeping dogs lie(旧事别翻)。可伦尼说,这个念头已经被塞进脑子了,非查不可。想劝人别没事找事、别翻旧账,这两句最好用。
伦尼和阿曼达在床上为「找不到方向、没了兴致」拌了几句,接着聊到婚姻的低谷和高峰。伦尼说起儿子马克斯智商超高,还感慨这孩子肯定出身优良,越说越想知道他的生母是谁。阿曼达立刻拦住他:Lenny, why rock the boat?(何必把平稳的日子搅乱),又劝他 Let sleeping dogs lie(旧事别翻);可伦尼摇头,说这个念头已经被塞进脑子里,还引一句 Curiosity. That's what kills us(好奇心才是害死我们的东西),打定主意要查清楚。想说「别没事找事」「别翻旧账」「好奇心害死人」,这些说法都能用。

Everything? That's very unlikely. But I'm gonna find out.一切?那可不太可能。不过我会查个水落石出。 先礼貌地反驳,再一句 find out 把所有顾虑推翻,好奇心的任性毫不遮掩。
字面是「把船摇翻」,实际是「打破现状、没事找事」。戏里阿曼达劝伦尼别去查生母,就是别把安稳日子搅乱。
说 Let sleeping dogs lie,字面是「睡着的狗别去惹」,引申为「过去的事就让它过去」。戏里阿曼达用它劝伦尼收手。
thunk 是 think 的怪过去分词,left unthunk 就是「(念头)最好别想完、留在没想过的地方」。戏里伦尼感慨有些念头还是别想出来为妙。
是意第绪语借来的俚语,指「蠢货、自己找抽的人」,语气不算最重。戏里阿曼达求伦尼别犯浑,就用了这个词。
指「低谷和高峰」,形容婚姻、事业等有起有落。戏里说每段婚姻都会经历 valleys and peaks,就是劝人接受起伏。
