上门见琳达·阿什：in the ballpark
伦尼上门见电话里约好的琳达·阿什，紧张到脸色发白：她先问他喝不喝东西，又拉着他看会动的小摆件。她想靠猜职业热场，蹦出 Rug salesman!（地毯推销员！），结果连 in the ballpark（八九不离十）都算不上。想学「猜得差远了」这种说法，这句最地道。
发生了什么
伦尼按电话里的约定上门，见到琳达·阿什本人，紧张得脸色发白。他只想先聊聊，于是硬找话题：夸公寓漂亮、问她想喝什么。琳达却直接进入角色，说想进去洗个澡、贴身观察，还提到自己的「消费」是两百美元；伦尼只好先付一笔定金，说就当作 a show of good faith（表示有诚意）。两人一个想聊、一个想办事，越说越拧：他说你这么漂亮，本可以 make it big（闯出名堂）、有家庭，不必这样生活；她回 What's it to you?（关你什么事）顶回来，最后把他赶了出去。想学「猜得差远了」「关你什么事」这类口语，这段最直接。
这场戏看什么
- 留意Linda用笑话掌控气氛
- 观察伦尼从好奇变成说教
- 听两人如何争夺谈话主动权

关于这一章的问题
in the ballpark 是什么意思？
本指棒球场范围，引申为「八九不离十、猜得接近」。戏里琳达猜伦尼的职业，猜成地毯推销员，连 in the ballpark 都算不上。
「关你什么事」英语怎么说？
可以说 What's it to you? 语气挺冲，表示「这事跟你有什么相干」。戏里琳达被伦尼说教时就这么顶回去。
make it big 怎么用？
指「闯出名堂、大获成功」，多用在演艺、生意上：make it big as an actress 就是「当演员当到走红」。
a show of good faith 是什么？
指「表示有诚意的姿态」，比如先付定金、先让一步。戏里伦尼先把钱给上，说 just a show of good faith（就当表示诚意）。
take a joke 是「拿个笑话」吗？
不是。它是「开得起玩笑、挨得住损」：I can take a joke 就是「我这人开得起玩笑」。
