普拉提课上聊前任:grand gesture

多姆和雅丝在普拉提课上互扒前任。雅丝说她的分手瞬间是 He don't wave at boats(他不朝船挥手),还总结世上只有两种人:the ones who wave at boats and the ones who hate joy(朝船挥手的,和恨快乐的)。多姆则自曝当年在深夜炸鸡店搞 grand gesture(隆重示爱)。想学怎么又丧又好笑地聊前任,这段一流。

发生了什么

普拉提课上,多姆和雅丝一边练一边聊分手。多姆问她什么时候意识到前任这段完了,雅丝说:He don't wave at boats(他不朝船挥手),因为 If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back(船上的人朝你挥手,你就得挥回去)——连这都做不到的人,就是 the ones who hate joy(见不得快乐的那类人)。多姆想了半天,说自己也有个 writing-on-the-wall moment(结局已明写的时刻),就是深夜带前任去莫利炸鸡店过纪念日,还自嘲 If I had a restaurant, I'd call it "Nuggets by Candlelight"(我要有餐厅就叫「烛光鸡块」)。雅丝听得直说这是 dream date,还夸这是 grand gesture(隆重示爱)。

67 句台词里标了 35 处

短语 · B1my favourite subject

我最爱的话题(反话)

My favourite subject.
短语 · B1make it easier

这样反而更轻松

Makes it easier, I guess.
短语 · B2rock up

贸然出现、突然上门

Plus, I doubt there'd be a lot of, uh, bike rides and boiled eggs if I rocked up home.
短语 · B2a distant memory

遥远到快忘掉的记忆

Couple rich ex-husbands, menstruation a distant memory, sat out in the park with both my legs behind my head.
俚语 · B2still thirsty

还饥渴、还想要——thirsty 俚语里指对关注、感情或性很渴望,带调侃。朋友间说很好笑,当面认真说会显得刻薄。

Old but still thirsty.
短语 · B2be all set

一切都稳了、安排妥了

Nope. Thought we were all set. [chuckles]
短语 · B2a single moment

哪怕一个瞬间

There wasn't a single moment?
短语 · B2a tiny crack in something

某样东西上一道细缝

A tiny crack in the beautiful pottery that was you and her?
语法 · B2the beautiful pottery that was you and her

that 定语从句:that 引导的从句修饰前面的陶器,把「你和她」直接当成那件器物的名字。用比喻说感情像一件成品,再追问它连一条细缝都没有吗,问法很损也很准。

A tiny crack in the beautiful pottery that was you and her?
短语 · B1need to think about something

这事得想想

I'm gonna need to think about that.
短语 · B2a shitload of something

一大堆警钟

Oh. There were probably a shitload of alarm bells I was snoozing through.
短语 · B2snooze through something

一路按贪睡、全当没听见

Oh. There were probably a shitload of alarm bells I was snoozing through.
俚语 · B2a shitload of

一大堆、海量——shitload 是粗俗的量词,强调多。只适合熟人抱怨,正式场合换成更中性的说法更稳妥。

Oh. There were probably a shitload of alarm bells I was snoozing through.
短语 · A2wave at someone or something

朝船挥手

He don't wave at boats.
发音wave at boats

wave at boats 里 wave 和 at 连读,at 又轻又快,听起来像 wav-at-boats。

He don't wave at boats.
短语 · A2wave back

挥手回应

If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back.
语法 · B2If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back

if 条件加 have to:if 引出条件,主句用 have to 表义务,把一条私人规矩说得像自然法则。它不是在讨论礼貌,而是拿一件小事给对方做品格测试。

If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back.
短语 · B1it's the law

这是铁律

It's the law.
发音It's the law

It's the law 里 the 几乎被吞成一个很轻的音,重音落在 law 上,整句又短又脆。

It's the law.
短语 · B2the ones who ...

见不得快乐的那类人

The ones who wave at boats and the ones who hate joy.
发音the ones who

the ones who 连读时 ones 末尾的音接上 who,听起来像 the-one-swho,中间不断。

The ones who wave at boats and the ones who hate joy.
短语 · C1the writing on the wall

结局已明写、无法再装看不见的时刻

Oh, so, I have thought about my writing-on-the-wall moment.
短语 · B2wake up at night cringing

半夜想起还尴尬得皱眉

This still wakes me up at night cringin'.
短语 · B1a while back

前一阵子

Okay, um, so, a while back, for our anniversary, I wanted to do something special.
短语 · B2a throwback

一次甜蜜的小复古、旧地重游

A sweet little throwback...
俚语 · B2boss man

老板、大哥(称呼)——boss man 是对店主或男性长辈的随性称呼,街头口语常用。对陌生人说显得套近乎,商务场合不用。

Hey-yo, boss man! I need chicken!
短语 · B2a grand gesture

我试过的最后一次隆重举动

Anyway, that was the last grand gesture I tried.
短语 · B2not even lying

一点都没撒谎

Okay, I'm not even lyin', yeah?
语法 · B2if I had a restaurant, I'd call it

虚拟条件句:if 加过去式、主句用 I'd,说的是与现在事实相反的假设:我并没有餐厅。用这种虚拟句来夸一个人,等于把喜欢说成一种遥远但坚定的选择。

In fact, if I had a restaurant, I'd call it "Nuggets by Candlelight".
短语 · B2one's side of the story

我这边的说法

But that is my side of the story, innit?
短语 · B2share the blame

把责任分着担、一起背锅

雅丝说多姆又想把过错摊开,用 share the blame 指出他总在替对方找理由。

And there you go again, trying to share the blame.
短语 · B2be meant to be

命中注定、天生一对

多姆替前任说话,问万一吉娅和埃里克真是天生一对呢,亚斯听了直呼他太宽容。

Well, I'm just saying, what if they actually are meant to be?
短语 · B2the best man's speech

伴郎致辞

A funny anecdote in a future best man's speech?
短语 · B2insanely forgiving

宽容到离谱

Wow. That is insanely forgiving.
短语 · B2takes talent

得有天赋才行

Hey. Not everyone can be this, uh, progressive. Takes talent.

看懂「普拉提课上聊前任」

这一章能学到

  • wave at boats是她的性格测试
  • writing on the wall指早该看见的结局
  • grand gesture是盛大却可能失败的表白
  • Nuggets by Candlelight把鸡块抬成浪漫
  • 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气

发音重点

  • wave at boats — wave at boats 里 wave 和 at 连读,at 又轻又快,听起来像 wav-at-boats。
  • It's the law — It's the law 里 the 几乎被吞成一个很轻的音,重音落在 law 上,整句又短又脆。
  • the ones who — the ones who 连读时 ones 末尾的音接上 who,听起来像 the-one-swho,中间不断。
The ones who wave at boats and the ones who hate joy.

朝船挥手的,和见不得快乐的。 用一个荒谬的二分法把人性切成两半:连看见船挥不挥手都能当试金石。夸张得可爱,让人忍不住对照自己站哪边。

If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back.

船上的人朝你挥手,你就得挥回去。 把礼貌说成义务,把回应一件小事说成做人的底线。它不夸对方,只给出标准:被善意碰到时,你得接住。

This still wakes me up at night cringin'.

这事到现在半夜想起来,我还尴尬得皱脸。 把最丢人的记忆说成一个具体反应:夜里醒来,脸先皱起来。它诚实得让人会心一笑,适合聊那些到现在还没放下的糗事。

In fact, if I had a restaurant, I'd call it "Nuggets by Candlelight".

事实上,如果我有家餐厅,我就给它取名「烛光鸡块」。 用一句荒诞的假设把一顿炸鸡约会捧成米其林,反差好笑又显得真诚,是本节最出圈的台词。

关于这一章的问题

grand gesture 是什么意思?

指为了表达爱意而搞的隆重、戏剧化的举动。片里多姆说那次深夜炸鸡店惊喜,是他试过的最后一次 grand gesture。

alarm bells 是什么意思?

指警钟、危险的信号。片里多姆说自己当时一堆警钟在响,他却一路按着贪睡没听见。

「命中注定」英语怎么说?

说 meant to be,指天生一对、注定在一起。片里多姆还在纠结贾和埃里克是不是真的 meant to be。

share the blame 怎么用?

指把责任分着担、一起背锅。片里雅丝说多姆又在 share the blame,想把错摊到别人身上。

It's the law 是法律吗?

不是真的法律,是口语里夸张的「这是铁律」。片里说船上有人朝你挥手就必须挥回去,就是这种语气。
