这场戏：一夜之后都说是错误
第 18 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'13"
一夜之后，莎莉打电话给玛丽，哈利打给杰斯，两人都含糊地说 one thing led to another（事情一件接一件就发生了）；等真见面，又抢着说「那是个错误」。莎莉只求一句「我再也不用 be out there（重回情场）」。想学怎么把尴尬事说圆、怎么聊感情，这些句子都很好用。
她说 One thing led to another（事情一件接一件就发生了）
one thing led to another 事情一件接一件就发生了killing two birds with one stone 一石二鸟two wrongs make a right 负负得正get out of there 离开那个地方
一夜之后，莎莉一早打电话给玛丽，声音发抖地承认昨晚的事；电话那头玛丽和杰斯却兴奋得不行，一个说「一石二鸟」kill two birds with one stone（一举两得），一个说「负负得正」two wrongs make a right（错上加错反成对）。另一边哈利打给杰斯，说自己醒来就觉得 suffocated（喘不过气），干脆溜了。等终于见面，都抢着说 It was a mistake（那是个错误），又互相附和 I couldn't agree more（我完全同意），可莎莉其实只想要一句 be out there（不用重回情场）的承诺。想学怎么把尴尬事说圆、怎么聊感情，这些说法都能直接搬用。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“I'm not saying last night wasn't great.”
我不是说昨晚不好。
用双重否定替自己留后路，既否认又没否认，特别真实。
I'm not saying ... wasn't ...
想否认一半、又不敢把话说死时用；正式场合这样绕会显得含糊。
I'm not saying it was bad, exactly. ／ I'm not saying you were wrong, but...
口语
not saying 连读，wasn't great 两词都重读。
I'm not saying the plan wasn't smart, but it was risky. 我不是说这计划不聪明，但它有风险。
“It would've been great if it worked out, but it didn't.”
要是成了本来挺好的，可就是没成。
把假设和现实并排放，一句就写完一段感情的结局。
It would've been great if ..., but it didn't.
对过去的遗憾做总结时用；对刚失恋的人说会像补刀。
It could've worked if we'd tried, but we didn't. ／ It would've been fine if it had lasted, but it didn't.
中性
would've been 缩成一团，but it didn't 收得干脆。
It would've been great if we had moved, but we didn't. 要是当时搬了本来挺好，可我们没搬。
“Tell me I'll never have to be out there again.”
告诉我，我再也不用回到情场上去了。
把疲惫和依赖全压进一句请求里，像孩子讨一个承诺。
Tell me I'll never have to ... again.
向亲近的人讨安慰、求保证时用；对不熟的人说会显得黏人。
Promise me I'll never have to do this again. ／ Tell me I'm done with all of that for good.
口语
Tell me 重读，never have to 连读，again 拉长收尾。
Tell me I'll never have to sit that exam again. 告诉我，我再也不用考那门试了。
“- Like killing two birds with one stone. - It's like two wrongs make a right.”
——就像一石二鸟。——更像两个错误凑成了一个对。
把「一石二鸟」改成「两错成对」，用熟语翻新说清了这桩糊涂事的本质。
It's like two wrongs make a right.
自嘲把两件错事凑成好结果时能用；对当事人的伤心事说会像风凉话，别用。
Two wrongs somehow made a right. ／ It's like the wrong pieces fit.
口语
前半句轻快，It's like 停顿，two wrongs make a right 逐词顿开。
I missed the bus but caught the express, so it's like two wrongs made a right. 我误了公交却赶上快线，简直两个错误凑成了一个对。
下一章 · 19get past this翻篇这场戏：婚礼上为旧情翻脸意思是「事情一件接一件就发生了」，常用来含糊带过一段不方便细说的经过。台词里用它交代两人怎么从聊天走到接吻。
I couldn't agree more。字面是「我不能同意得更多」，实际就是「再同意不过了」，比 I agree 更强烈，也常带点客套。
字面是「两个错误凑成一个正确」，类似中文「负负得正」。这里朋友们拿来调侃两人都刚失恋，凑一起反而是好事。
指「重回情场、在外头约会」。Tell me I'll never have to be out there again 就是说「告诉我我再也不用回去约会了」，透着想安定下来的心情。
意思是「得了病、病倒了」。I'm coming down with something 就是「我好像要生病了」，常用在感冒、发烧这类小病上。
