这场戏：当面戳穿雇人监视
第 23 章 · 共 24 章 · 2'05"
玛丽拿着刚收到的 an anonymous letter（匿名信），当面问泰德是不是找人来 spy on me（监视自己）。泰德支支吾吾承认了，玛丽一句 Get out（滚出去）把他轰出门；他急着解释，说自己从没想 trick me into（骗她动心），可话已经说不清。想学被当场拆穿时的英文对白，这段最急切。
get in the way 是「挡路、碍事」
FedEx it 用快递寄过去spy on me 监视我、盯我的梢
trick me into 是「骗某人去做某事」
anonymous letter 匿名信Get out 出去、滚出去hardly know 跟……根本不熟Trick me into 骗我去做某事
玛丽收到一封 an anonymous letter（匿名信），立刻明白有人在监视她，于是当面质问泰德是不是找人来 spy on me（监视自己）。泰德先是装糊涂，最终还是承认确有其事，还辩解说那个家伙的事他一点都不知道，跟他根本不熟。玛丽不买账，一句 Get out 让他走人，还冷冷问他是不是想 trick me into（骗她动心）。泰德在门口终于说出真心话：他从来没 stopped thinking about you（停止过想她）。

“Did you hire Pat Healy to spy on me?”
你是不是雇了帕特·希利来监视我？
一句直捣要害的当面质问，把整场摊牌点着了。
Did you hire someone to spy on me?
当面质问对方是否背着自己做事时用；对上级这么问会显得冲。
Were you having me followed? ／ Did you pay someone to watch me?
中性
hire Pat Healy 连读，spy on me 逐词加重。
Did you hire someone to spy on my work? 你雇人盯着我的工作？
“How could you have some guy you don't even know spy on me?”
你怎么能让一个你压根不认识的人来监视我？
反问里套着定语从句，一句把委屈和火气一起推出去。
How could you ...?
被信任的人伤了之后反问对方时用；冷静谈判时别用这种控诉口气。
How could you do this to me? ／ How could you let a stranger watch me?
口语
you don't even 连读，spy on me 放慢加重。
How could you share my secret with strangers? 你怎么能把我的秘密告诉外人？
“I did it because I never stopped thinking about you.”
我这么做，是因为我一直没停止过想你。
前面全是辩解，最后一句把动机收成一句告白，很戳人。
I did it because I never stopped thinking about you.
解释自己为什么放不下某人时用；正式道歉别只拿感情当理由。
The truth is I never stopped thinking about you. ／ I did it because I couldn't let you go.
中性
never stopped 连读，thinking about you 缓下来收尾。
I wrote because I never stopped thinking about you. 我写信，是因为我一直没停止过想你。
“And if I didn't find you, I knew that my life would never. Ever be good again.”
要是没找到你，我知道我这辈子再也……再也好不起来了。
把「再也不」拆成两次 never 的停顿，那句话越说不下去，感情越重。
If I didn't find you, my life would never be good again.
向久别的人做最深告白时用；关系没到那一步，或在公开场合说，会让对方压力很大。
Without finding you, I knew I'd never be happy again. ／ I knew my life couldn't be good without you.
literary
I knew that my life 稍快，would never 停一下，Ever be good again 放慢、逐词落下。
If I hadn't found this team, my life would never be right again. 要是没找到这个团队，我这辈子再也顺不起来了。
下一章 · 24cross the line越界这场戏：对质谁在背后跟踪指暗中监视我、盯我的梢。原句问对方是不是雇希利来监视她，是这句质问里最重的指控。
指匿名信，不写寄信人。原句说收到一封匿名信，才把雇人监视这件事捅了出来。
指用手段骗某人去做某事，后面接动名词。原句 trick me into feeling something for you 就是「骗我对你动心」。
说 hardly know someone。原句说自己 hardly know him，就是「我跟他根本不熟」，想撇清关系。
说 First of all，用来在辩解或列举时开口。原句先说 First of all，再一条条解释自己的理由。
