大哥
Hey, big brother.Uncle Frank · 2020 — 第 11 / 17 章 · 1'58" · B1
哥哥为疏远道歉：kept in touch
葬礼后，哥哥坐下来跟弟弟掏心窝：说自己请他当伴郎其实是 scared not to（怕不这么做），还讲起婚礼前的往事，承认这些年 kept in touch（没保持联系）。最后他红着眼说了句 I'm sorry.（对不起），对方回 You don't need to be sorry.（你不用道歉）。想学认错和和解的说法，这段很暖。
发生了什么
葬礼后，兄弟俩坐在一起。哥哥说，对方是他这辈子最好的朋友，还坦白当年请他当伴郎其实是 scared not to（怕不这么做）；他讲起彩排宴后两人一起喝酒、婚礼上还 hung over（宿醉），又说起爸爸总问他 if I had heard from you（有没有你的消息）。接着他承认这些年没 kept in touch（保持联系），哽住说了句 I'm sorry.（对不起）。对方回 You don't need to be sorry. It's okay.（你不用道歉，没关系）。想学掏心窝、认错和原谅的说法，这些句子都能用。

这辈子最好的朋友
He's the best friend I'll ever have.怕不这么做
I only asked him to be best man in my wedding 'cause I was scared not to. [chuckles]喝得烂醉、醉到失态
迈克回忆彩排宴后他和弗兰克喝得烂醉，那晚弗兰克才卸下防备说了心里话。
After the rehearsal dinner, we got shit-faced.喝得烂醉——shit-faced 是粗俗说法，形容醉到不省人事。只适合熟人酒后玩笑，正式场合换成更中性的说法。
After the rehearsal dinner, we got shit-faced.他像换了个人
Goddamn, he was like another man.见鬼、天哪（惊叹脏话）——Goddamn 用作感叹，表示惊讶或恼火。语气粗，只适合熟人圈子，正式场合要避免。
Goddamn, he was like another man.配不上妈妈
Told me how, uh, he felt like he was never good enough for Mama.这点他错了
He told me how he thought Kitty wasn't good enough for me, which he was wrong about.非限制性 which 从句：which 指代前面整句判断，逗号隔开作补充：他认为基蒂配不上我，而这点他错了。它让说话人一边转述，一边当场表态。
He told me how he thought Kitty wasn't good enough for me, which he was wrong about.宿醉
We were both hung over at the wedding.hung over 连读时 hung 末尾的音接上 over，听起来像 hun-gover，两个词像一整个。
We were both hung over at the wedding.没看出来
You didn't notice?看起来很紧张
I just thought you seemed nervous.抖得像条老猎狗
I was shaking like an old hound dog trying to shit out a peach pit.like 引导比喻：like 后面接一个画面，把紧张发抖比成一条老猎狗。比喻越具体越好笑，也越显出他当时有多窘，是南方口语里常见的夸张方式。
I was shaking like an old hound dog trying to shit out a peach pit.猎狗（比喻落魄、狼狈的样子）——hound dog 本指猎犬，南方口语里常拿来打比方，带自嘲。朋友间说很传神，正式场合不宜。
I was shaking like an old hound dog trying to shit out a peach pit.跟爸爸吃早饭
just to have breakfast with Daddy.收到某人的消息、听到某人的音讯
迈克说父亲每次都会问他有没有弗兰克的消息，一句问话里全是没说出口的想念。
He'd ask if I had heard from you.间接引语 if 从句：He'd ask 是 he would ask 的缩写，后面用 if 引导间接问句，时态还要往前退一步。它还原了父亲每次见面都会问的那句话，重复里全是惦记。
He'd ask if I had heard from you.heard from you 里 heard 末尾的音接上 from，from 又和 you 连读，整串不停。
He'd ask if I had heard from you.保持联系
迈克承认自己也没怎么跟弗兰克 kept in touch，把疏远的责任分了一半给自己。
But I never kept in touch much with you, neither.kept in touch 里 kept 末尾的音和 in 撞在一起，几乎被吞掉，听起来像 kep-in-touch。
But I never kept in touch much with you, neither.用得着道歉
You don't need to be sorry. It's okay.看懂「哥哥为疏远道歉」
这一章能学到
- 学会用 keep in touch 说保持联系
- 见到 shit-faced 知道是喝到烂醉
- 会用 best man 指婚礼伴郎
- 听懂 hung over 是宿醉未消
- 会用 You don't need to be sorry 接歉
发音重点
- hung over — hung over 连读时 hung 末尾的音接上 over，听起来像 hun-gover，两个词像一整个。
- heard from you — heard from you 里 heard 末尾的音接上 from，from 又和 you 连读，整串不停。
- kept in touch — kept in touch 里 kept 末尾的音和 in 撞在一起，几乎被吞掉，听起来像 kep-in-touch。
He's the best friend I'll ever have.他是我这辈子最好的朋友。 用「这辈子」给一段兄弟情定了最终评价，堵住后来所有比较。
I was shaking like an old hound dog trying to shit out a peach pit.我抖得像条老猎狗在使劲拉一颗桃核。 一句南方乡土味的比喻，把紧张和宿醉说得又狼狈又好笑。
You don't need to be sorry. It's okay.你不用道歉。没关系。 一句宽厚的话把对方的愧疚轻轻放下：我们不追究谁欠谁。
He told me how he thought Kitty wasn't good enough for me, which he was wrong about.他告诉我，他当年觉得基蒂配不上我，这一点他错了。 把一句迟到的认错包在转述里，兄弟的和解不靠拥抱，靠承认看走了眼。
关于这一章的问题
kept in touch 是什么意思？
指「保持联系」，常用 keep in touch。台词里说这些年没怎么 kept in touch，是怪自己疏远了对方，为之后道歉做铺垫。
good enough 是什么意思？
指「够好、配得上」。台词里有人觉得自己 never good enough for Mama（永远配不上妈妈），道出一辈子的自卑。
hear from someone 是什么意思？
指「收到某人的消息、听到某人的音讯」，不是听见声音。台词里爸爸总问 if I had heard from you，就是想打听对方的下落。
「喝得烂醉」英语怎么说？
俚语 get shit-faced，语气粗，指喝到失态。朋友之间自嘲昨晚喝多时常用，正式场合别用。
「够好、配得上」英语怎么说？
good enough，后面常接 for someone，如 good enough for Mama。表示自认达不到对方期待，说自己或别人不够格时都能用。
