画廊喜讯戳到旧伤：a hundred percent definite
周年庆上，阿曼达当众宣布要开画廊，伦尼却发现自己是从岳母那儿才知道，只能憋出一句 I just would have liked to have known it（我只是希望早点知道）。转头他去看琳达排戏，琳达说起自己送养的孩子，说现在 some lucky family（某个幸运的家庭）养着他。想学「只是希望早点知道」这句克制的抱怨，很准。
发生了什么
周年庆上，阿曼达当众宣布自己要开画廊，还说另外有人「多里安一家」投钱；伦尼却发现自己是从岳母嘴里才听说，尽管她说这事 a hundred percent definite（百分之百敲定），他还是忍不住：Yes. I just would have liked to have known it.（只是希望早点知道）。另一边，他去看琳达排戏《费城故事》，觉得这是个 odd part for you to choose（你选这个角色很怪），劝她演个更贴近自己的小理发师；琳达却说，比起演戏她更想搬走、当妈妈、养孩子，还坦白自己当年把孩子送给了别人，如今 some lucky family（某个幸运的家庭）在照顾他。想说「百分之百敲定」「某个幸运的家庭」这类说法，这场都用得上。
这场戏看什么
- 留意笑话何时变成真心话
- 观察职业选择背后的自嘲
- 看她谈孩子时语速如何放慢

这一章能学到
- 掌握 give up for adoption
- 听懂 dough、buck 和 rat race 的口语意味
- 学会用 get off the ground 说项目起步
- 分辨玩笑背后的家庭遗憾和真实愿望
- 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气
发音重点
- kept each other — t 与 each 连读，别逐词断开。
- tell you 'cause — you 弱读，'cause 紧接前词，语流不要切断。
- it'll be only — it'll、be 都弱读，语流别停在 it'll。
- the hell out — hell 是情绪重音，out 接着滑过去。
I had a kid, Lenny, and I gave him up for adoption.我有过一个孩子，伦尼，但我把他送去领养了。 give up for adoption 简短克制，却把长期遗憾压在一句话里。
and get the hell out of the rat race?然后彻底逃离这场无休止的竞争？ rat race 把忙乱的成人生活说成一场永不停下的赛跑。
It's the sorriest thing I ever did in my entire life.这是我这辈子做过的最遗憾的一件事。 把悔意说到顶格：不是「很后悔」，而是「最」后悔，一生一次的量词。
Yes. I just would have liked to have known it.是啊。只是我希望自己能早点知道。 先答 yes 表明支持，再用一个虚拟语气把委屈说轻，克制里全是失望。
I would like to move away and become a mother and just raise kids.我想搬到别处去，当个母亲，就安安静静把孩子养大。 用三个并列的普通愿望堆出另一种人生，越朴素越显出她现在的日子有多远。
Clint Eastwood doesn't play a meek little hairdresser.克林特·伊斯特伍德不会去演一个温顺的小理发师。 拿一个观众都认得的银幕硬汉打比方，把『选不对角色』这件事说得好懂又好笑。
关于这一章的问题
a hundred percent definite 是什么意思？
指「百分之百敲定、完全确定」。戏里阿曼达说画廊的事已经 a hundred percent definite，就是板上钉钉了。
「说漏嘴」英语怎么说？
说 say the wrong thing，指说了不该说的、戳到别人。戏里有人担心自己说错了话，就问 did I say the wrong thing。
some lucky family 怎么理解？
指「某个幸运的家庭」。戏里琳达说孩子被送养后，现在 some lucky family has him，就是「有个幸运的家庭领养了他」。
odd part for you to choose 是什么语气？
指「你选这个角色很怪」，是委婉的质疑。戏里伦尼用来说琳达不该挑战《费城故事》里跟自己反差很大的角色。
be an actress 和 actress 有区别吗？
be an actress 强调「当演员」这个身份或选择。戏里问 not be an actress，就是「不当演员了？」——重点是这条路她到底还要不要走。
