这场戏：远远看着玛丽发愣
第 17 章 · 共 24 章 · 2'30"
泰德远远看着玛丽，脱口而出：She's more beautiful than I remember（她比我记忆里还美），She's perfect（她太完美了）。多姆在旁怂恿他把希利的真相捅出去——Tell her the truth（把真相告诉她）。可泰德心虚，说自己等于 unleashed（把祸害放出来）到她身边，怕她气疯。想学心动时怎么夸人，这段很典型。
more beautiful than I remember 是「比记忆里更美」
more beautiful than I remember 比我记忆里更美picking up the lunch tab 替人把饭钱付了feel like a dog 觉得自己很不是东西
泰德和多姆远远看着玛丽，泰德看得入神：She's more beautiful than I remember（她比我记忆里还美），在他眼里 She's perfect（她太完美了）。多姆却一直劝他把希利的底细抖出来——Tell her the truth（把真相告诉她），好把那个装模作样的家伙 out of the water（彻底揭穿）。泰德不肯，说自己当初就是 unleashed（把祸害放出来）的人，怕玛丽知道真相后气疯。他犹豫着要不要上前，最后终于鼓起勇气走过去。pick up the tab 是买单；not to worry 是别担心；big appetite 是胃口大。

“She's more beautiful than I remember. She's perfect.”
她比我记忆里还美。她太完美了。
先夸到记忆之上，再一句完美收住，隔着球场也藏不住那点痴。
She's more X than I remember.
重逢时形容一个人变化时用；对不熟的人夸外貌要留分寸。
She looks even better than I remembered. ／ She's more beautiful than the last time I saw her.
中性
more 重读，than I remember 轻快带过，perfect 收得干脆。
The town is more charming than I remember. 这座小镇比我记忆里还迷人。
“I unleashed the psycho on her. She's gonna be fucking pissed.”
是我把这疯子引到她身边的。她非气疯了不可。
一句自认闯祸，把内疚、恐惧和失控全压在一个动词里。
I unleashed X on someone.
自认把麻烦引给别人、后悔莫及时用；含脏话，正式场合别说。
I brought that mess straight to her door. ／ I let a lunatic loose on her.
口语
unleashed 重读，on her 轻带，pissed 前停半拍加重。
I unleashed the new boss on the whole team. 是我把新老板引到整个团队头上的。
“Tell her the truth about Healy. Blow the schmuck out of the water.”
把希利的真相告诉她。把那个混蛋的老底揭穿。
两个祈使句连发，先给方向再给狠劲，像在替人下决心。
Tell someone the truth. Blow X out of the water.
催人摊牌、彻底揭穿某人时用；朋友间劝谏可以，公开场合太冲。
Just tell her the truth and take him down. ／ Come clean and sink his whole story.
口语
truth 重读，Blow 起句加重，out of the water 一气带下。
Tell her the truth. Blow his lies out of the water. 跟她说实话。把他的谎话全揭穿。
“Listen, you can't touch his ears unless he trusts you. I'm sorry.”
听着，除非他信得过你，否则你不能碰他的耳朵。抱歉。
用最正经的口气宣布一条荒诞规矩，最后补一句没头没尾的「抱歉」，温柔又好笑。
You can't [do X] unless he trusts you. I'm sorry.
替家人朋友立边界、向旁人说明禁忌时用；对不熟的人用这种半玩笑口气，可能被当成不欢迎。
He won't let anyone touch that unless he knows you. Sorry. ／ Sorry, that's off-limits until he trusts you.
口语
Listen 起头一顿，unless he trusts you 稍慢，I'm sorry 轻描淡写收尾。
You can't pick her up unless she trusts you. I'm sorry. 除非她信得过你，否则你不能抱她。抱歉。
下一章 · 18dodged a few bullets躲过几劫这场戏：街头偶遇旧爱叙旧指买单、把账结了，tab 就是账单。原句 Thanks for picking up the lunch tab，就是「谢谢你买单」，请客、聚餐时很常用。
字面是「打出水面」，习语里指把对手彻底打垮、揭穿到底。原句 Blow the schmuck out of the water，就是「把那个冒牌货的老底揭穿」。
可以说 not to worry，是较随意的说法。原句 Are you okay? Not to worry，就是「你没事吧？别担心」，语气很轻。
指把东西放出来、任其为害，也可指引爆某种后果。原句 I unleashed the psycho on her，就是「是我把这疯子引到她身边的」。
指胃口很大。原句 He's just got a big appetite，就是「他就是胃口大」，也常拿来替人解围、打圆场。
