当桌揭穿前任和旧友:in hindsight

埃里克在饭桌上大讲自己往绿洲瓶里撒尿被炒,雅丝越听越不解,一句 You cheated on Dom with him?(你出轨多姆,对象是他?)把桌子掀了。她替多姆出气,说他 funny, clever, successful(有趣、聪明、事业有成),最后补刀在 Tinder 上揭穿埃里克,还总结 That is your truth(那才是你的真相)。

发生了什么

埃里克讲自己被炒的经过:懒得跑地下室上厕所就往绿洲瓶里撒尿,攒了十八瓶被经理抓到。雅丝听得不对劲,终于说 I'm struggling with something here(我这儿有件事想不通),直接问 You cheated on Dom with him?(你出轨多姆,对象是他?),还说 I need to figure this out(我得把这事弄明白)。她替多姆把话说穿:你甩了一个 funny, clever, successful accountant(有趣、聪明、事业有成的会计),跟了 jobless human bin-fire(没工作的人形垃圾堆)。贾想用 living your truth(活在自己的真相里)圆场,雅丝只回 That is your truth(那才是你的真相)。临走她还揭穿埃里克在 Tinder 上滑过她,散场后多姆说 you nailed it(你说得太准了)。

本章全部批注

52 句台词里标了 31 处

短语 · B1get fired from somewhere

被从某处炒了

I got fired from the sports bar.
短语 · B1bring something up

现在把这事提出来

...why you bringing that up now?
短语 · B2it's just banter

这是互损、开玩笑

He used to work there. It's banter.
俚语 · B2banter

互损、拿人开涮的玩笑——banter 指轻松、带刺但无恶意的斗嘴,英式口语里很常见。朋友之间用很正常,但把伤人玩笑说成 banter 也可能是在推责。

He used to work there. It's banter.
短语 · B2get tired of doing something

做腻了、懒得再那样

Got tired of doing that.
短语 · B2no spillage

不会洒出来

So, I just started pissing in Oasis bottles, 'cause you know that big rim, no spillage.
发音Oasis bottles

Oasis bottles 连读时 Oasis 末尾的音接上 bottles,听起来像 Oasisbottles,中间不断。

So, I just started pissing in Oasis bottles, 'cause you know that big rim, no spillage.
短语 · B2keep on doing something

我一直不停地说

I stuck 'em all in my locker, and I kept on sayin', like, "Just empty it. Empty it."
短语 · B2fire someone for something

为那件事把你炒了

I can't believe they fired you for that.
短语 · B2super political

特别讲政治正确

I know. They're, like-- They're super political there.
短语 · B2struggle with something

有件事卡着、想不通

I'm struggling with something here.
短语 · B2figure something out

把这件事弄明白

雅丝当面质问贾,说自己非得 figure this out,因为整件事太让人想不通。

- Excuse you? - Yas-- No, I need to figure this out because it's baffling.
语法 · B2I need to figure this out because it's baffling

because 原因状语从句:because 引出原因,说明为什么非把这件事弄明白不可:它实在说不通。它把一句质问包装成不得不澄清的逻辑,语气既像较真,也像不甘心。

- Excuse you? - Yas-- No, I need to figure this out because it's baffling.
短语 · C1a human bin-fire

人形垃圾堆(骂人)

You dumped this funny, clever, successful accountant for this jobless human bin-fire?
俚语 · C1bin-fire

一团糟、烂摊子(骂人说法)——bin-fire 字面是垃圾桶着火,指混乱到不可收拾的人或事。用来骂人很伤人,只限熟人之间半开玩笑,正式场合绝对不能用。

You dumped this funny, clever, successful accountant for this jobless human bin-fire?
短语 · B2in hindsight

事后回头想

贾想当和事佬,把三个人凑一桌,眼看要闹翻,只好承认 In hindsight 这主意糟透了。

In hindsight, this was a terrible idea.
语法 · B2I was trying to give everyone some harmony

过去进行表当时意图:过去进行时描写当时正在进行、还没做完的意图,说明她本意是想让大家和睦。用进行时而不用一般过去,暗示这打算没成功,后面 but 一转就露馅。

I was trying to give everyone some harmony and allow everyone to live in their truths, but whatever.
短语 · B2live one's truth

活在自己的真相里

But you are living your truth.
短语 · B2click reset

按了重置、一切归零

And so you clicked reset and moved on with the closest and least complicated option.
短语 · B2the least complicated option

最不费事的选择

And so you clicked reset and moved on with the closest and least complicated option.
短语 · B2swipe someone on an app

在交友软件上滑了我

And, by the way, your man swiped me on Tinder, like, a week ago.
短语 · B1be on rest mode

在休息模式

- Phone. - [Eric] It's on rest mode.
短语 · B2can't believe someone did something

不敢相信你刚那么干

I can't believe you just did that!
发音did that

did that 里两个 d 和 t 撞在一起,第一个几乎被吞掉,听起来像 di-that。

I can't believe you just did that!
短语 · B2tag-team

两人配合轮番上阵

Did you see Gia's face when we were tag-teaming the karaoke story?
短语 · B2be shook

整个人都震了

She was shook!
俚语 · B2shook

被震住、惊到了——shook 是 shake 的俚语用法,表示受到很大冲击。年轻人聊天里常用,正式场合或对长辈说会显得太随意。

She was shook!
短语 · B2nail it

完全说对、做得漂亮

多姆惊叹亚斯那番话正中要害,说自己一直想讲却总在退让,亚斯回他一句你完全说对了。

Well, you nailed it.
发音nailed it

nailed it 连读时 nailed 末尾的音直接接上 it,听起来像一个词 nail-dit。

Well, you nailed it.
语法 · B2what I've been wanting to say

what 引导名词性从句:what 在这里不提问,而是指「我一直想说的那句话」。后面用现在完成进行时,强调这念头憋了很久,不是刚刚才有。整句说的是:你说出了我攒着的话。

It's exactly what I've been wanting to say, but I've been too busy rolling over like a bitch.
短语 · B1it's true though

可那是真的

- I shouldn't have said that. - No, it's true though.

看懂「当桌揭穿前任和旧友」

这一章能学到

  • bin-fire是公开燃烧的灾难
  • figure this out能当开庭词
  • living your truth可被翻成罪状
  • clicked reset把出轨说成一键重来
  • 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气

发音重点

  • Oasis bottles — Oasis bottles 连读时 Oasis 末尾的音接上 bottles,听起来像 Oasisbottles,中间不断。
  • did that — did that 里两个 d 和 t 撞在一起,第一个几乎被吞掉,听起来像 di-that。
  • nailed it — nailed it 连读时 nailed 末尾的音直接接上 it,听起来像一个词 nail-dit。
In hindsight, this was a terrible idea.

事后看,这真是个糟透的主意。 把好心办坏事说得干净利落:动机没错,判断错了。它提醒人,善意不能替结果买单,也让人觉得承认失误其实可以很体面。

That is your truth.

那才是你的真相。 把对方嘴上的说法推回去:你口口声声活出自我,可你的选择已经说明了你是谁。五个字既是判决,也是整场对峙的落点。

I was trying to give everyone some harmony and allow everyone to live in their truths, but whatever.

我是想给大家一点和谐,让每个人活在自己的真相里,但随便吧。 一句自辩里全是矛盾:想让大家和睦,又把每个人关进各自的「真相」。它把冠冕堂皇的动机和搞砸的结果摆在一起,讽刺感很强。

And, by the way, your man swiped me on Tinder, like, a week ago.

顺便说一句,你男朋友大概一周前在 Tinder 上划到了我。 用一句平静的补充当众补刀,把体面彻底撕开,信息量炸裂又轻描淡写,是全桌最狠的一击。
