这场戏：餐厅里争论假装高潮
第 11 章 · 共 20 章 · 4'42"
在餐厅里，哈利炫耀自己有个不谈性的红颜知己，莎莉一句 You are a human affront to all women, and I am a woman（你对全体女性都是一种侮辱，而我是女人）怼回去。聊到女人会不会假装高潮，莎莉说 Most women, at one time or another, have faked it（大多数女人早早晚晚都装过）。想学怎么用英语抬杠，这几句很过瘾。

哈利越说越得意，把劈腿说成自由，给后面的打脸埋好伏笔。
「早早晚晚会有一回」英语是 at one time or another
fake orgasm 假装高潮at one time or another 早早晚晚会有一回get outta here 少来do the math 自己算算吧
在餐厅里，哈利讲起自己的糟糕约会，说对方没反应，也讲到自己有个能无话不谈、却不涉及性的女性朋友。莎莉点破他 You're afraid to let yourself be happy（你是不敢让自己幸福），又说他 You are a human affront to all women, and I am a woman（对全体女性都是侮辱，而我是女人）。两人争到女人会不会假装高潮，莎莉说 Most women, at one time or another, have faked it（大多数女人早早晚晚都装过）。后来在熟食店，莎莉当场演了一出，哈利只好认输。想学抬杠和点破朋友，这些说法很实用：downshift into small talk 是把话头降级硬聊，give someone credit 是认可某人，end up doing 是最后落得某种结果。
