这场戏：卡座里拒绝复合
第 4 章 · 共 15 章 · 2'58"
中餐馆的卡座里，杰夫对弗兰说 I'm still crazy about you（我还是为你着迷），想把她哄回来；弗兰却冷冷回一句 Six weeks. But who's counting?（六个星期，可谁还数着呢），接着讲出老板和秘书的露水情一到九月就散。想学怎么用英语体面地拒绝旧情人、把话说得又狠又不失分寸，这几句都值得背。

中餐馆里，弗兰和杰夫又坐进同一个卡座。杰夫旧情复燃，先问她我们多久没见了、又说 I'm still crazy about you（我还是为你着迷），想把这段关系续上。弗兰不接招，用 Six weeks. But who's counting?（谁还数着呢）戳破他，然后一口气讲出这种关系的老套路：太太孩子一走，老板就跟秘书 has a fling with（跟某人搞一段露水情），一到九月就结束。她形容自己那阵子总在 kidding yourself（自欺欺人），骗自己交往的是个单身男人。想学怎么把分手讲得冷静、把旧情人挡回去，又不撕破脸，这一段值得反复听。

“I'm still crazy about you, Fran.”
我还是为你着迷，弗兰。
一句求复合的软话，听得出真心，也听得出只顾自己。
I'm still crazy about you.
对旧情人表白时用；在对方明确拒绝后还这么说会显得纠缠。
I'm still mad about you. ／ I never stopped loving you.
口语
crazy about 连读，you 轻轻收，句尾放柔。
I'm still crazy about her after all these years. 这么多年过去，我还是为她着迷。
“They don't make these shrimp like they used to.”
这虾做得不如从前了。
用一句无关紧要的抱怨岔开沉重话题，越轻越显得心酸。
They don't make X like they used to.
感慨东西不如从前时用；正经谈事时突然这么说会显得敷衍。
Things aren't made like they used to be. ／ It's not what it used to be.
口语
don't make 连读，like they used to 轻轻带过。
They don't make cars like they used to. 现在的车不如从前造得好。
“You don't know what it's like, next to you in that elevator.”
你不知道在电梯里站在你身边是什么滋味。
把说不出口的委屈塞进一个日常场景，画面一出来全懂了。
You don't know what it's like, ...
向对方倾诉自己的处境时用；吵架时这么说容易被当成指责。

You don't know what it's like, waiting all day. 你不知道整天等着是什么滋味。
“Six weeks. But who's counting?”
六周。不过谁还在数呢？
嘴上说没人在数，偏偏把天数记得清清楚楚，反讽全在后半句。
But who's counting?
嘴上假装无所谓、其实很在意时用；对真心想翻篇的人别用，会显得纠缠。
Not that I'm counting. ／ But who keeps track, right?
口语
who's counting 连读，句尾上扬带一点自嘲。
It's been two years. But who's counting? 都两年了。不过谁还在数日子呢？
For a while there, you try kidding yourself that you're going with an unmarried man. Then one day he keeps looking at his watch... ...and asks you if any lipstick's showing... So you fix yourself a cup of instant coffee... ...and you sit there by yourself and you think... ...and it all begins to look so... ugly.
有一阵子，你会骗自己说，你交往的是个单身男人。 然后有一天，他不停看表…… ……还问你嘴上有没有沾口红…… 于是你给自己冲一杯速溶咖啡…… ……一个人坐在那儿想…… ……然后这一切开始显得那么……难看。
下一章 · 05all that jazz诸如此类这场戏：上司道贺又威胁意思是「自欺欺人」。弗兰说 you try kidding yourself that you're going with an unmarried man，就是骗自己说交往的是单身男人。明知不是真的还骗自己，就用 kid yourself。
说 who's counting。杰夫问多久没见、猜一个月，弗兰回 Six weeks. But who's counting?（六个星期。可谁还数着呢？），表面随口，其实暗示她记得很清楚。
说 have a fling with。弗兰说 the boss has a fling with his secretary，就是老板跟秘书搞上一段。形容短暂、不走心的关系，用 a fling 很准。
说 the picnic's over。弗兰一句 Come September, the picnic's over（一到九月，好日子就到头了），把这段婚外情的结局说得又轻又凉。
是在问「我们多久没见了」。杰夫用它试探弗兰，暗示自己一直在算日子；弗兰回六个星期，两人的记性都出卖了各自的在意。
