《夏日痴魂》这段在圣玛丽：库克罗维茨医生让凯瑟琳回忆去年夏天的狂欢节。她说有个男人 took me home（送她回家），随后又说了一句残忍的话：We'd better forget it（我们还是把这事忘了吧）。她先是 I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat（以为自己是回去取外套），其实根本不是——I'd gone back to make a scene（我是回去大闹一场的）。她冲进舞厅，用拳头捶他，最后 Cousin Sebastian took me away（塞巴斯蒂安表哥把我拉开了）。医生接着问起塞巴斯蒂安，她说 He liked me, so I loved him（他喜欢我，所以我也爱他）。想学回忆、冲动和隐晦情感的英文，这段最揪心。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“He liked me, so I loved him.”
他喜欢我，所以我也爱他。
把一种被推着走的情感说得又轻又痛，短句里全是宿命。
so 引出因果：……，所以我……
回忆一段身不由己的感情时用；正式报告或道歉信里别这么轻描淡写。
He was kind to me, so I trusted him. ／ She needed me, so I stayed.
中性
liked 和 loved 都重读，so I 轻快带过。
He needed someone, so I stayed longer than I should have. 他需要人陪，所以我一待就待得太久了。
“I hadn't gone back for that at all. I'd gone back to make a scene.”
我根本不是为了那个回去的。我是回去大闹一场的。
前半句否认，后半句抖出真相，一收一放，把自毁说得理直气壮。
I hadn't ... at all. I'd ... to ...
坦白自己真正的动机时用；对不熟的人或在正式场合这样自曝会失分寸。
I didn't go there to help; I went there to settle a score. ／ It wasn't about the money at all; it was about proving a point.
中性
hadn't 轻读吞音，at all 连读，make a scene 放慢强调。
I didn't go back for the notebook at all. I went back to say goodbye. 我根本不是回去拿笔记本的。我是回去道别的。
“I'm trying to make you feel sorry for her.”
我是想让你同情她。
把操纵同情心这件心机说得毫不遮掩，冷静得让人后脊发凉。
I'm trying to make you feel ...
承认自己在情绪上引导别人时用；职场上这么坦白容易引火。
I'm not trying to make you feel guilty. ／ I just want you to see her side of it.
口语
trying to 连读，feel sorry for 一气流过，her 轻读。
I'm not trying to make you feel sorry for me, but this week was brutal. 我不是想让你同情我，但这周真的太难了。
“I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat. But I hadn't.”
我以为我回去是为了拿外套，其实不是。
用“我以为”加一句反转，把自己骗自己和爆发之间那点清醒说透了。
I thought I'd gone back to ___. But I hadn't.
承认自己嘴上给的理由不是真的时用；对不熟的人说这种自省会显得交浅言深。
I told myself I went back for my coat, but that was a lie. ／ I thought I wanted one thing; I wanted another.
literary
I thought 轻，I'd gone back 连读，But I hadn't 放慢、降调。
I thought I came back for my keys. But I hadn't. 我以为我回来是拿钥匙，其实不是。
I lost him. He took me home. Then he said an awful thing to me. He said: "We'd better forget it. My wife's expecting a child, and..." I just entered the house and sat there thinking a while. I called a taxi and rushed to the Roosevelt Hotel ballroom. The ball was still going on. I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat. But I hadn't. I hadn't gone back for that at all. I'd gone back to make a scene. I didn't pick up Aunt Violet's silver fox in the coatroom. I rushed right into the ballroom, spotted him on the floor... ...ran up to him and started... ...to beat him in the face and the chest with my fists till... ...Cousin Sebastian took me away.
我把他弄丢了。 他送我回家。 然后他对我说了句很残忍的话。他说：“我们还是把这事忘了吧。 我妻子怀着孩子，还有……” 我回到家，坐在那儿想了半天。 我叫了辆出租车，赶到罗斯福酒店的舞厅。 舞会还在进行。 我以为我是回去取外套的。其实不是。 我根本不是为了取外套回去的。我是回去大闹一场的。 我没在衣帽间拿维奥莱特姑妈的银狐皮草。 我径直冲进舞厅，在舞池里看见了他…… ……朝他跑过去，然后就…… ……用拳头捶他的脸和胸口，直到…… ……塞巴斯蒂安表哥把我拉开了。
下一章 · 12burn up烧光这场戏：烈日海滩回忆中断意思是「当众大闹一场、闹出难看场面」。台词 I'd gone back to make a scene 就是「我是回去大闹一场的」，语气里带着自嘲。
feel sorry for。台词 I'm trying to make you feel sorry for her 就是「我是想让你同情她」。注意它后面接人，别和 feel sorry about 混用。
这里不是「捡起」，而是「顺手取走、拿上」。台词 I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat 就是「我以为自己是回去取外套的」，其实是另有目的。
意思是「错乱的、精神失常的」，比 crazy 更书面、更医学术语化。凯瑟琳自嘲 my poor deranged mind，是用别人的诊断标签反过来说自己。
意思是「以什么方式、怎么个……法」，用来追问细节。台词 in what way did you love him 就是「你是怎么爱他的？」，比单问 how 更具体。
