这场戏：电话里被劝直接约她
第 6 章 · 共 16 章 · 5'03"
沃尔特又打给相亲网站客服，托德干脆说：你干吗不直接 invite someone out（约她出去），别老上网折腾。沃尔特却想复刻《椰林飘香》：登个广告，等 soul mates（灵魂伴侣）自己找上门。想学怎么用英文约人、怎么吐槽这种浪漫幻想，这段很轻松。
soul mates（灵魂伴侣、天生一对）
beef your profile up 把资料充实、加强invite her out 约她出去soul mates 灵魂伴侣、天生一对caught in the rain 淋到雨
last in, first out（后来先走）
figure this out 弄明白、解决point guy 对接人、主要联络人nothing to worry about 没什么可担心的last in, first out 后来先走
托德在电话里让沃尔特别再搞花样，快把资料填完，还劝他：既然跟那姑娘一起上班，干吗不直接 invite someone out（约她出去）？沃尔特却说想学《椰林飘香》那样登个广告，让 soul mates（灵魂伴侣）自己回应，两人还聊起那首歌。后来沃尔特和谢丽尔一起走去接她儿子，一路聊她儿子的滑板、聊《生活》的格言，也聊起失踪的肖恩；谢丽尔说自己才来一个月，自嘲按 last in, first out（后来先走）的规矩，被裁的八成是自己。
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。
“why don't you just humanly invite her out?”
你干吗不干脆像个正常人一样约她出来？
一个 humanly 就把绕弯子的浪漫戳破，劝人直接开口就该这么爽利。
Why don't you just ...?
看朋友绕圈子时用；对上级或客户说会显得没耐心。
Why not just ask her out? ／ Just go and talk to her.
口语
why don't you 连读，humanly 重读，invite her out 收得干脆。
Why don't you just tell her how you feel? 你干吗不直接告诉她你的感觉？
“No, no, no, I'm trying to do like a "Piña Colada Song" thing.”
不不不，我想走那种《椰林飘香》的路子。
把一首老歌当恋爱攻略，三个 no 就写出他的执拗和天真。
I'm trying to do like a ... thing.
半开玩笑地解释自己的怪主意时用；正式场合说会显得不着调。
I'm going for a certain vibe. ／ I want to do it my own way.
口语
No no no 连成一串，Piña Colada 三词咬清，thing 收轻。
I'm trying to do like a movie thing here. 我想走那种电影里的路子。
“and it turns out they were soul mates and didn't even know it...”
原来他们本就是灵魂伴侣，自己却不知道……
用一句原来揭晓整首歌的浪漫反转，念出来就像在讲一个老故事。
it turns out they were ... and didn't even ...
讲一个意外揭晓的结果时用；说自己的事会显得在自我安慰。
It turned out they were perfect for each other. ／ They were meant for each other all along.
中性
turns out 连读，soul mates 重读，didn't even 一带而过。
It turns out they were neighbors and didn't even know it. 原来他们本是邻居，自己却不知道。
“and they end up making love in capes, or on a cape.”
最后他们披着斗篷做爱，或者是在海角上。
cape 的谐音梗把浪漫唱成笑话，一本正经说荤话最要命。
they end up doing ..., or ...
朋友间讲冷笑话、双关时用；正式场合或长辈面前别说。
They end up together, or maybe not. ／ It ends in a pun, honestly.
口语
end up 连读，making love 放轻，capes 和 on a cape 对比重读。
They end up singing, or on a stage. 最后他们唱起了歌，或者说是站上了舞台。
“If you like piña coladas, getting caught in the rain.”
如果你喜欢椰林飘香，喜欢被雨淋湿。
一句歌词就把人拉回旧时光，唱出来比说出来更有杀伤力。
If you like ..., getting ...
半开玩笑地引用歌词、表达喜好时用；正经场合别哼。
If you like long walks, this is for you. ／ If you enjoy the rain, you'll love it here.
口语
If you like 连读，piña coladas 轻快，caught in the 连成一串。
If you like quiet mornings, getting up early, you'll fit in. 如果你喜欢安静的清晨、喜欢早起，你会很适应。
“Yeah, we got to figure this out. It's a big deal.”
对，我们得把这事弄明白。这关系重大。
两句短句一压一收，合作感和紧迫感一下都到位。
We got to figure this out.
和同伴一起解决问题时用；对客户说 got to 会显得太随意。
We have to sort this out. ／ Let's work out what happened.
口语
got to 连成 gotta，figure this out 连读，big deal 加重。
We got to figure this out before Friday. 我们得在周五前把这事弄明白。
下一章 · 07follow up on something跟进追查这场戏：顺线索查到格陵兰意思是「约某人出去」，invite 是邀请，out 指外出约会。片里托德劝沃尔特别在网上绕，直接 invite her out，就是「干脆约她出来」。
意思是「灵魂伴侣、天生一对」，指彼此契合、像命中注定的一对。片里沃尔特讲的那首歌，男女主角绕了一圈才发现彼此就是 soul mates。
意思是「正在缓冲、加载中」。它本是网络视频卡住时的提示，也可以开玩笑地形容人反应慢、脑子在加载，片里就是电脑在缓冲。
last in, first out，缩写 LIFO。它本来是会计和库存的「后进先出」原则，也常被用来调侃裁员时新人先被裁。
意思是「对接人、主要联络人」，指负责和某人或某方联络、传话的那个人。片里沃尔特说自己一直是肖恩在杂志社的 point guy。
