ancient history陈年旧事

把爱错人的代价说成一句化妆提醒，轻得让人心碎。

When you're in love with X, you shouldn't Y.

半自嘲地总结一段吃亏的感情时用；对刚失恋的人说会太戳。

If you love a married man, skip the mascara. ／ Loving the wrong person always shows.

literary

in love with 连读，married man 重音落在 married。

When you trust a sweet talker, you shouldn't be surprised. 你要是信了花言巧语的人，就别觉得意外。

一句更正把话说得又聪明又可怜，暗示有人在等他。

I said X. I didn't say Y.

纠正别人对自己的想当然时用；严肃场合这么说会显得在耍嘴皮。

I never said there was nobody there. ／ No family does not mean no one.

中性

didn't say 连读，an empty apartment 放慢强调。

I said I was busy. I didn't say I was unhappy. 我说我忙，可没说过我不快乐。

三个短句全是反话，越说自己开心，越让人难受。

That's me. The happy X.

自嘲、把委屈说成玩笑时用；对正得意的人说会像挖苦。

That's me, the cheerful fool. ／ Look at me, so much fun.

口语

三个短句之间各停一下，A million laughs 收得干。

That's me, the lucky one. 那就是我，那个走运的人。

用幸运姑娘自嘲被换掉的命运，酸味全裹在玩笑里。

Right now some lucky ... is gonna come after me.

自嘲自己被取代、被冷落时能用；对真心难过的人别拿它开玩笑。

Some other lucky girl is next in line. ／ I'm just the one being replaced.

口语

gonna come after me 连读，重音落在 lucky 和 me 上。

Right now some lucky intern is gonna take my desk. 这会儿准有个走运的实习生要接管我的工位了。
