这场戏：父亲说她还在摘月亮
第 7 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'45"
萨布丽娜从巴黎回来，整个人变了样，戴维当场约她进城玩。父亲却提醒她 David is engaged（戴维订婚了），一句 Nothing has changed.（什么都没变）把她拉回现实：你还是司机的女儿，还是 reach for the moon（伸手够月亮）。她答得更妙——The moon's reaching for me.（是月亮在向我走来）。用比喻把自卑说成底气，这两句值得记。
「进城好好玩一晚」：go out on the town
have a reunion 聚一聚、叙叙旧go out on the town 进城好好玩一晚think so much of 看得上、瞧得起as long as 只要……就……
萨布丽娜在巴黎待了几年后回到长岛的拉勒比家，出落得判若两人，连少爷戴维都当场约她进城、去白鹳酒吧和法国餐馆，晚上还要去跳舞。可父亲托马斯不为所动，先告诉她 David is engaged.（戴维订婚了），又说 Nothing has changed.（什么都没变），点明她还是司机的女儿，还在 reach for the moon（伸手够月亮）。萨布丽娜没有泄气，回了一句 The moon's reaching for me.（是月亮在向我走来）。想学怎么用一句轻描淡写的比喻回复别人的看不起，或者用 nothing has changed 说「老样子」，这几句都值得背。

“But don't you see, Father? Everything has changed.”
可你没看出来吗，爸爸？一切都不一样了。
一句反问先压住对方，再用一句断言收尾，是成长后最有力的宣言。
But don't you see ...? Everything has changed.
想反驳长辈或旧看法、强调今非昔比时用；对客户或上级别这么冲。
But can't you see? Things are different now. ／ Don't you understand? I'm not a child any more.
中性
don't you 连读成 don-chu，has changed 尾音收住。
But don't you see? I'm not taking that job. 可你没看出来吗？我不接那份工作。
“No, Father. The moon's reaching for me.”
不，爸爸。是月亮在向我走来。
把父亲嘴里的老比喻整句翻过来，一句话就改写了两个人的位置。
The moon's reaching for me.
想说自己不再单方面追逐、好机会主动找上门时用；正式场合少用这种文学腔。
No, Dad. It's the other way round. ／ This time it's coming to me.
literary
The moon's 连读，reaching 重音在首，for me 轻收。
No, I'm not chasing it. This time the offer is coming to me. 不，我不是在追它。这次是机会主动找上我。
“He's still David Larrabee, and you're still the chauffeur's daughter, and you're still reaching for the moon.”
他还是大卫·拉瑞比，你还是司机的女儿，你还是在那儿伸手够月亮。
三个 still 排着队砸下来，把身份差距一层层钉死，狠却也疼。
Someone is still ..., and someone is still ...
想一条条摆出没变的事实、劝人别做梦时用；吵架时说会显得很刻薄。
He's still the boss, and you're still the new one. ／ You're still the same, and the situation is still the same.
中性
三个 still 都要重读，and 弱读，句末 moon 放平。
He's still married, and you're still waiting. 他还没离婚，你就还在等着。
“I don't like that. I don't like the sound of it.”
我不爱听这话。这口气我不喜欢。
重复一个句式，第二句把理由说透，是长辈预感不妙时最直白的反应。
I don't like ... I don't like the sound of it.
听到某件事隐约不对劲、想先表明态度时用；调查结论里别用这种主观说法。
I don't like the sound of that. ／ That doesn't sound right to me.
口语
don't like 连读，第二个 don't 稍加重，sound of it 一气说完。
I don't like the sound of that deal. 那桩交易听着就不对劲。
“Sabrina, David is engaged. He's getting married again.”
萨布丽娜，大卫订婚了。他又要结婚了。
一句事实后面补一个 again，不需要评判，荒唐和残忍都出来了。
He's getting married again.
转述别人婚讯或再婚消息时用；正式通知里 again 要慎用，会显得评价。
He's getting married for the third time. ／ They're engaged, and the wedding is set.
中性
is engaged 连读，getting married 的 t 常吞，again 重读。
Did you hear? He's getting married again. 你听说了吗？他又要结婚了。
“Well, I don't mind, David, as long as you're there.”
我不介意，大卫，只要你在就行。
先让步再给条件，把「只要你」三个字放在句尾，心意全压在最后。
I don't mind, as long as ...
对某件事无所谓、只在意一个条件时用；谈合同条件时也能套，但要说得更正式。
I'm fine with it, as long as you come. ／ It doesn't bother me, provided you're there.
中性
as long as you're 连成一串，there 重读收尾。
I'll come along, as long as you're driving. 只要你开车，我就一起去。
下一章 · 08knock something for a loop把计划彻底打乱这场戏：为司机女儿顶撞父亲字面是「伸手够月亮」，实际指追求根本够不着的东西、妄想高攀。父亲用它说萨布丽娜配不上戴维，是担心她受伤。
可以说 I don't like the sound of it. the sound of it 就是「这话听起来」，觉得对方语气里有问题、事情要糟，用它最自然。
都是说「变没变」。Nothing has changed 是「什么都没变」，Everything has changed 是「一切都变了」，电影里父女俩正好一人一句对着说。
homecoming party。homecoming 就是「回家、归来」，为远行回来的人办的欢迎聚会就是它，很地道也很常用。
意思是「瘦巴巴的」，形容人又瘦又小、看着没力气。家人用它回忆萨布丽娜小时候的样子，带点疼爱的调侃。
