这场戏：为贝琪跟记者翻脸
第 12 章 · 共 17 章 · 4'02"
看完一部烂片，贝琪把邮箱给了利普斯基；华莱士把他单独叫住，说我看见你在 hitting on Betsy（勾搭贝琪），接着撂下一句 Stay away from her（离她远点）。利普斯基辩解只是在聊稿子，反问华莱士自己不也 get involved with（和某人交往）着一个洛杉矶的人。想学怎么把话说重又留面子，这段火药味十足。
「恨死某人」：hate his guts
have got to be kidding 你开什么玩笑Have a heart 发发慈悲、有点良心hated his guts 恨死某人the basic offense 最根本的罪状
他不想他 coming on to her（勾搭她）
hitting on 搭讪、勾搭某人in front of 当着某人的面coming on to 向某人示好、勾搭get involved with 和某人交往、扯上关系
一群人围在电视前看一部烂片，散场后贝琪把邮箱写给利普斯基，说好回纽约后可以问她戴夫读研时的事。等只剩两人，华莱士直接挑明，说他看见利普斯基 hitting on Betsy（勾搭贝琪），又补一句 I don't want her talking to you（我不想让她跟你说话）。利普斯基说自己只是想 get involved with（和某人交往）个问稿子的联系人，还反唇相讥：你都已经跟一个住在洛杉矶的人在一起了。华莱士没接这茬，只丢下 Stay away from her（离她远点）和一句 Be a good guy（做个好人）。想学怎么当面把不满说清楚又不失分寸，这段很典型。

“And I was not. That was the basic offense. Look at him now.”
这就是他最大的罪状。看看他现在。
把年少时的嫉妒总结成一条荒唐罪状，自嘲里带着释然。
that was the basic offense
想半自嘲地解释自己当年为何讨厌某人时用；正式场合别说人坏话。
That was his only crime. ／ Being popular was the whole offense.
口语
basic 重读，Look at him now 放慢收尾。
Being good at everything was the basic offense. 什么都擅长，这就是他最大的罪状。
“The least you could do is show me the respect...”
你至少可以尊重我一点……
一句半截话把委屈说尽，越说不下去越显得受伤。
the least you could do is ...
想表达被冒犯、要求对方起码的尊重时用；对上司说会显得顶撞。
The least you could do is be honest. ／ You could at least show some respect.
中性
least 重读，respect 拉长，尾音渐弱。
The least you could do is text me you're late. 你起码该发条消息说要迟到。
“I don't know. You're already involved with somebody who lives in Los Angeles.”
你都已经跟一个住在洛杉矶的人在一起了。
不反驳勾搭，直接戳破对方的双标，一句话让人哑口。
you're already involved with ...
想指出对方言行不一时用；对不熟的人说会显得多管闲事。
You already have someone back home. ／ You are not exactly single yourself.
口语
already 重读，Los Angeles 放慢，句尾落平。
You're already involved with someone here. 你在这儿已经有人了。
“I don't want her talking to you.”
我不想让她跟你说话。
不说吃醋，只下一个命令，占有欲全在这七个词里。
I don't want ... doing ...
表达不想让某人做某事时能用；对同事别这么强硬，看场合。
I don't want him calling you. ／ I don't want them working with you.
口语
don't want 连读，her 弱读，talking to you 连读。
I don't want him texting you at midnight. 我不想让他半夜给你发消息。
下一章 · 13faux装出来的这场戏：为装出来的亲民吵翻意思是「向某人示好、勾搭」。华莱士说 of not coming on to her right in front of me，就是「别当着我的面去勾搭她」，比 hit on 更书面一点，语气也更重。
hate his guts。台词里 I hated his guts so much，就是「我恨死他了」，guts 指内脏，这个说法很强烈，比 I hate him 语气重得多。
两个都指「勾搭、示好」。hit on 更口语、更随便；come on to 稍正式、更像当面纠缠。台词里先出现 hitting on，后面华莱士说 coming on to，说的都是同一件事。
意思是「最根本的罪状」，常带点自嘲。台词里说那人的罪状就是他又酷又受欢迎、而我不是，把小事说得很夸张，很好笑。
a gross exaggeration。台词里 Everything? That seems like a gross exaggeration，就是「全部？这夸张得有点过分了吧」，gross 在这里是「过分、离谱」。
