早餐桌聊出柜：in my blood
早餐桌上，有人先求 I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone in the family about me.（别跟家里人提我，我会很感激）；对方反问 you came from them, so how bad can they be?（你是从他们那儿出来的，能有多糟）；他只好说 I wish I thought my family could get past it（我希望家里能翻过这一页）。想学求人保密、劝人坦白、把话挑明的表达，都很真实。
发生了什么
隔天一早，贝丝在房间里和弗兰克、沃利吃早餐，她坦白自己从没认识过同性恋。桌上一句请求：I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone in the family about me.（别跟家里人提我，我会很感激）。话头转到为什么不坦白，一句 If I told them I was with a man, it would bring shame on them.（要是告诉家人我和一个男人在一起，会给他们带来耻辱）。有人偏要拆：Thank you. No, but you came from them, so how bad can they be?（你是从他们那儿出来的，能有多糟），还提议两人各自向家人坦白。他只好搬出 Are you kidding? In Saudi Arabia, they would behead me.（沙特阿拉伯会砍我的头）当挡箭牌。想学早餐桌上的坦白与劝说，这段最松弛也最扎心。
这场戏看什么
- 注意弗兰克如何试探贝丝
- 听沃利何时拆穿假妻子
- 对比两家荣誉的分量

Never known anybody who was gay before.你当然有过

You just weren't aware of it.aware of it 里 aware 末尾的音接上 of，of 又和 it 连读，听起来像 awaro-vit。
You just weren't aware of it.如果你不……我会很感激
I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone in the family about me.I'd appreciate it if 礼貌虚拟：I'd appreciate it if 后面用一般过去时，是委婉请求的固定句式。它把要求说得像请求，给对方留足面子，但意思很清楚：请你别说出去。
I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone in the family about me.来自如此不同的世界
Eh, we're from such different worlds now.会改变什么吗
It wouldn't do any... [Wally] Change anything?反正你也不见他们
You don't see them anyways, Frank.反正、不管怎样——anyways 是 anyway 的口语变体，常用来转话题或收束一句抱怨。朋友聊天很自然，正式场合用 anyway 更稳。
You don't see them anyways, Frank.感觉怎么样

I go there at least every two years. You know that.一个假妻子
He shows them photographs of a phony wife,假的、装出来的——phony 指某物是伪造的或某人是装出来的，语气比普通说法更口语也更带轻蔑。日常对话常用，正式写作里换成中性的词。

who's also played by Charlotte, by the way.给某人或家族带来耻辱
弗兰克说要是告诉家人自己和男人在一起，会给家人带来耻辱，道出他隐瞒的真正原因。
If I told them I was with a man, it would bring shame on them.虚拟条件句：if 从句用过去式，主句用 would，说的是与现在事实相反的假设：我并没有告诉他们。它用一个假设的后果解释为什么一直隐瞒，语气里全是无奈。
If I told them I was with a man, it would bring shame on them.你凭什么觉得……
Why do you think it wouldn't bring shame on my family?不在乎荣誉
Americans don't care about honor, Frank.把某事翻过去、不再纠结
弗兰克希望家人能 get past it，接受他和男人在一起的事实，可他自己也不相信。
I wish I thought my family could get past it, but I don't.wish 表与事实相反的愿望：wish 后面用过去式，表示愿望与事实相反：我希望自己相信家里能跨过去，可我并不信。它比直接说我不认为他们做得到更含蓄，也更让人难受。
I wish I thought my family could get past it, but I don't.get past it 里 get 和 past 的 t 在元音之间都闪成很软的 d 音，听起来像 ged-pas-dit。
I wish I thought my family could get past it, but I don't.最终会接受
I think your family would eventually accept it.你不了解我的家人
Here you go. Yeah, well, you don't know my family.能有多糟呢
Thank you. No, but you came from them, so how bad can they be?from 和 them 顺连，them 的 th 轻轻滑过，听起来像 came-frum。
Thank you. No, but you came from them, so how bad can they be?这样怎么样
How about this?告诉你的家里人
you tell your family, and then I'll tell mine.闻起来像死亡
Your bacon smells like death.美味的死亡（玩笑说法）
Delicious death.看懂「早餐桌聊出柜」
这一章能学到
- 学会用 get past it 说跨过难堪
- 见到 bring shame on 知道是辱没
- 会用 I'd appreciate it if 提请求
- 听懂 How about this 是在提交换
发音重点
- aware of it — aware of it 里 aware 末尾的音接上 of，of 又和 it 连读，听起来像 awaro-vit。
- get past it — get past it 里 get 和 past 的 t 在元音之间都闪成很软的 d 音，听起来像 ged-pas-dit。
- came from them — from 和 them 顺连，them 的 th 轻轻滑过，听起来像 came-frum。
I wish I thought my family could get past it, but I don't.我真希望我相信家里能跨过这件事，可我不信。 希望和绝望同框：连愿望都提前认输，克制又精准。
Thank you. No, but you came from them, so how bad can they be?可你不就是从他们那儿出来的吗，那能有多糟？ 用一个简单事实反驳对方的偏见：你自己就是那个家养出来的。
Eh, we're from such different worlds now.我们现在已经是两个世界的人了。 把疏远说成地理，而不是感情：不是不爱，是活法不同了。
If I told them I was with a man, it would bring shame on them.要是我告诉他们我跟一个男人在一起，会给他们带来耻辱。 把不能说出口的自我说成对家人的负担，沉甸甸又无奈。
关于这一章的问题
in my blood 是什么意思？
意思是「天生就在骨子里、与生俱来」。台词里说 bacon's in my blood，是玩笑式地说自己天生爱吃培根。说一个人天生的爱好、天赋、习惯时都能用。
「把某事翻过去」英语怎么说？
get past it，意思是把某件事翻篇、不再纠结。台词里说希望家人能 get past it，指跨过他的性取向这件事。失恋、吵架后的翻篇也能用。
bring shame on someone 是什么用法？
意思是「给某人或家族带来耻辱」，常和 on 连用，比如 bring shame on the family。台词里就是担心自己的事会给家人丢脸。语气偏正式、偏重。
appreciate it if 怎么接句子？
后面接 if 从句，表示「如果……我会很感激」，是客气又委婉的请求。台词里用它请对方别声张，比直接说 don't tell 更礼貌，适合求人帮忙。
「你凭什么觉得」英语怎么说？
Why do you think...?，带点不服气的反问。台词里用它质疑对方凭什么认定两件事的后果不一样。争论时用得多，但语气冲，注意场合。
