这场戏：深夜电话后赶来安慰
第 17 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'22"
深夜，莎莉打电话把哈利叫来，哭着说前男友乔要结婚了：原来当初不是他不想结婚，而是 But the truth is, he didn't wanna marry me（可真相是，他不想娶的是我）。哈利没多讲大道理，只抱着她说 It's gonna be okay（会好起来的）。想学家人在低谷时怎么陪、怎么安慰，这几句很温柔。

深夜，莎莉打电话给哈利，说自己刚看完书，其实声音里全是不对劲。原来是前男友乔要结婚了，她一边哭一边讲那通电话：他打来寒暄，她才发现自己其实没放下。哈利赶来她家，听她自责：She's not supposed to be the one（那姑娘本该不是那个对的人），又说 But the truth is, he didn't wanna marry me（可真相是，他不想娶的是我）。她觉得自己太难相处、太封闭，把感情走成了 It's just sitting there like this big dead end（就那样杵着，像一条走不通的死路）。哈利没讲大道理，只是说 It's gonna be okay（会好起来的）。想学安慰朋友时的英语，这几句很实用：drove him away 是把人逼走，a dead end 是死路，be supposed to be 是本该是。

“But the truth is, he didn't wanna marry me.”

把最疼的那句真相说得平平的，反而比哭喊更重。

中性
the truth is 轻轻带过，marry me 放慢加重。

用 supposed to be 的否定，把理智和心碎的落差一次说尽。
be not supposed to be ...
说某人不该、不合常理时用；对当事人当面说会显得残忍。

它就一直杵在那儿，像一条走不通的死路。
把抽象的绝望画成一条看得见的死路，画面感极强。

一直以来我都说，是他不想结婚。
把多年的自我安慰一次说破，主语一换，伤口就露出来了。
All this time, I've been saying that ...
深夜向挚友承认看错时用；对当事人或普通朋友说要看场合，太赤裸。
This whole time I told myself otherwise. ／ I've been telling everyone the wrong story.
中性
All this time 带叹息，I've been saying 连读，didn't wanna 读成 didn' wanna。

He just called me up, "wanted to see how you were." "Fine. How are you?" "Fine." His secretary is on vacation, everything's all backed up... he's got a big case in Newark, blah, blah, blah. And I'm sitting on the phone thinking... "I'm over him. I really am over him. I can't believe I was ever remotely interested in any of this." And then he said, "I have some news." She works in his office. She's a paralegal. Her name is Kimberly. He just met her. She's supposed to be his transitional person. She's not supposed to be the one. All this time, I've been saying that he didn't wanna get married. But the truth is, he didn't wanna marry me. He didn't love me.
他刚给我打电话，「说想看看我过得怎么样」。 「挺好。你呢？」「挺好。」 他秘书休假了，什么事都堆着…… 他在纽瓦克有个大案子，等等等等。 我拿着电话坐在那儿，心里想…… 「我放下他了。我真的放下他了。 我都不敢相信我居然曾经对这种人有兴趣。」 然后他说：「我有个消息。」 她在他办公室工作。是个律师助理。她叫金伯莉。 他才刚认识她。 她本该只是他过渡期的那个人。 她不该是那个对的人。 一直以来我都在说，是他不想结婚。 可真相是，他不想娶的是我。 他不爱我。
下一章 · 18one thing led to another事情一件接一件这场戏：一夜之后都说是错误意思是「死路、走不通的尽头」。台词里 It's just sitting there like this big dead end，就是「它一直杵在那儿，像一条走不出去的死路」，常形容没希望的局面。
call someone up。台词里 He just called me up 就是「他刚给我打了个电话」，比 phone someone 更口语、更随意。
表示「按理应该是、本该是」。台词里 She's not supposed to be the one 就是「她本该不是那个对的人」，常用来对比应该和现实。
drive someone away。台词里 I drove him away 就是「是我把他逼走的」，指自己的做法把身边的人赶跑了。
是口语里表示「等等等等、废话一堆」的说法，用来一带而过、显得不耐烦。台词里 he's got a big case in Newark, blah, blah, blah 就是不想细听那些琐事。
