这场戏：宣布搬出婆家单过
第 1 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'31"
露西当着婆家人宣布要搬出去单过，婆婆拿亡夫说事：poor Edwin barely cold in his grave（尸骨未寒）；伊娃放狠话，说她走了就别想 come crawling back（低声下气回头求人）。一句 I have my own life to live（我有自己的日子要过）说得又稳又硬。这几句「我要过我自己的日子」的英文，吵架时特别提气。
她一句 mind is made up（主意已定，不再改）
mind is made up 主意已定，不再改cold in his grave 尸骨未寒consideration for 为某人着想、顾念except for 除了……以外
丧夫将近一年，露西终于摊牌：my mind is made up（主意已定），她要带着女儿安娜和女仆玛莎搬去海边，不再跟婆家一起过。婆婆不肯放手，拿死去的儿子压她，说可怜的埃德温 barely cold in his grave（尸骨未寒）；伊娃更咄咄逼人，质疑她没钱，还怪她干涉安娜。露西一条条顶回去：我有埃德温金矿股的收益，跟着玛莎能过得很省，她是我女儿。伊娃最后撂下狠话：将来你后悔、想 come crawling back（低声下气回头求人）时，别指望我鼓励你。my mind is made up 就是「主意已定、不再改」；cold in his grave 指「尸骨未寒、人刚走不久」；come crawling back 形容低声下气地回头求人。

“And now my mind is made up.”
我已经打定主意了。
把决定说得干干净净，不留讨价还价的余地。
my mind is made up
宣布决定、不再回头时用；对长辈摊牌也可，但语气会很硬。
I've made up my mind. ／ My decision is final.
正式
重音落在 made up，句尾降调收住。
My mind is made up, so stop asking me to stay. 我主意已定，别再劝我留下了。
“I'm not leaving him, I'm leaving you.”
我不是要离开他，我是要离开你们。
同一个动词把矛头从亡夫转向活人，一句话切开两边。
I'm not leaving X, I'm leaving Y
要澄清自己针对谁时用；把话说这么直，关系往往已到尽头。
It's not him I'm leaving, it's you. ／ I'm not running from him, I'm running from this house.
口语
not 重读，两个 leaving 之间停半拍，you 收重。
I'm not leaving the city, I'm leaving you. 我不是要离开这座城市，我是要离开你。
“I have my own life to live, and you have yours, and they simply won't mix.”
我有我自己的日子要过，你们也有你们的，这两样根本融不到一块儿。
两个 life 平行摆开，一句判了两种生活合不来。
I have my own ... and you have yours
要划清界限、说明彼此过不到一起时用；家人之间说这句很伤。
We each have our own lives, and they don't fit together. ／ Your life and mine can't be lived as one.
中性
yours 和 won't mix 各重读，they simply 连读。
I have a life of my own to live, and so do you. 我有自己的生活要过，你也一样。
“It's been Edwin's life and yours and Eva's, never my own.”
过的都是埃德温的、你们的、伊娃的日子，从来不是我自己的。
把三个人的名字排成一串，最后用 never my own 一刀割开。
It's been X's life and yours, never my own
回顾自己一直为别人而活时用；当面抱怨家人容易翻脸。
It was always their life, never mine. ／ I've lived everyone's life but my own.
literary
三个名字连读不重，never my own 放慢。
It's been the company's life and theirs, never my own. 过的都是公司和他们的日子，从没我自己的。
“I've always wanted to live by the sea.”
我一直想住在海边。
一句愿望把争吵从钱和责任里拉出来，给出她真正要的东西。
I've always wanted to ...
说出埋了很久的心愿时用；刚认识的人之间也能这样聊。
Living by the sea has always been my dream. ／ It's always been my wish to live near the water.
中性
always 轻读拖长，live by the sea 三词连成一串。
I've always wanted to live by the sea, even as a child. 我从小就总想着住在海边。
“I've never had a life of my own.”
我从来没有过属于自己的生活。
用最轻的句子说出最重的话，一辈子都被别人占着。
I've never had a ... of my own
回望半生、说出委屈时用；对家人当面讲会很重。
I've never had anything that was mine. ／ Nothing in my life has ever been my own.
中性
never 重读，a life of my own 连读放平。
I've never had a room of my own until now. 直到现在，我才有一间属于自己的房间。

下一章 · 02be the judge of由自己来评判这场戏：租房坚持要海鸥别墅意思是「主意已定，不再改」，比 I decide 更坚决。my mind is made up 常用来结束争论：别再劝了，我已经定了。
字面是「人躺在坟里还没凉」，中文常说「尸骨未寒」。用来指责别人在逝者刚走不久就急着改变，带责备口气。
come crawling back，crawl 是爬，画面是灰溜溜爬回来求人。放话时用：走得干脆点，将来别回来求我。
I never heard of such a thing，就是「这种事我闻所未闻」，表示震惊、看不惯。长辈看到离谱举动常这么说。
take responsibility for，后面接事情。如 take responsibility for what might become of her，就是为她将来会怎样担起责任。
