这场戏：法庭上反将一军
第 22 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'26"
夜庭上柯比夫妇支支吾吾，他们不好意思承认，look my family over（打量我一家）、good enough to marry their precious son（配不配得上他们的宝贝儿子）。范德霍夫更狠，说配不上的是你们家，我死也不会跟 a bunch of snobs like that（这么一群势利眼）攀亲。想学怎么当众反击、怎么骂人不带脏字，这些说法很实用。
❝ 独白 · 4 句 「配不上的是你们家」：isn't good enough（配不上）
stand for 容忍、接受a bunch of 一群、一帮
「别来我们这片儿」：go slumming（体验穷人生活）
as far as I'm concerned 就我而言take a flying leap 滚远点、哪凉快哪待着go slumming 跑去体验穷人生活
夜庭上，柯比夫妇不肯解释那晚为什么去西卡莫家。范德霍夫替他们打圆场，说 Mr. Kirby came to see me about buying my house（柯比先生是来找我谈买房子）。可柯比太太还是不认账，说不该为这些人可能干的事 be held accountable（负责）。爱丽丝忍不了，站起来揭穿真相：他们不好意思承认，是来 look my family over（打量我一家）、看我 good enough to marry their precious son（配不配得上他们的宝贝儿子）。范德霍夫更干脆，说配不上的是你们家，自己死也不会跟 a bunch of snobs（一群势利眼）攀亲。旁听的朋友起哄，说这是 take a flying leap（一边凉快去）。想学怎么当众反击、怎么骂人不带脏字，这些说法都很实用。
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've decided that it's your family that isn't good enough.”
我现在认定，配不上的是你们家。
把对方打量人的尺子反手量回去，一句顶得干净利落。
it's ... that isn't good enough
被人挑剔、看不起时用来反击；对客户或长辈说会撕破脸。
It's your side that doesn't measure up. ／ You're the ones who aren't good enough.
口语
it's your family 重读 your，that isn't good enough 收得干脆。
If you ask me, it's their offer that isn't good enough. 要我说，不够诚意的是他们那份报价。
“The next time you want to go slumming, stay away from our neighborhood.”
下次你们想体验穷人生活，别来我们这片儿。
用 slumming 三个音节把对方的优越感剥得干干净净。
The next time you want to ..., stay away from ...
有人拿你的生活当消遣时用；对客人当面说就等于赶人。
If you're only sightseeing, don't come around here. ／ Don't treat our street like a tourist stop.
口语
next time 连读，slumming 重读，stay away from 一气说完。
If you just want to go slumming, don't post about it. 要是只想找点穷人新鲜感，就别发到网上。
“They're ashamed to admit they came to look my family over to see if I was good enough to marry their precious son.”
他们不好意思承认，是来打量我一家，看看我配不配上他们宝贝儿子。
把难堪的真相一口气摊开，越平静越有杀伤力。
They're ashamed to admit ...
点破对方不肯承认的动机时用；当众说会让人下不来台。
They won't admit what they really came for. ／ They're too proud to say why they showed up.
中性
ashamed to admit 连读，good enough to 轻读，句尾别升高。
They're ashamed to admit they only came for the free food. 他们不好意思承认，来就是为了白吃白喝。
“Cinderella just told Prince Charming to go take a flying leap.”
灰姑娘刚叫白马王子哪儿凉快哪儿待着去。
把童话拿来当比喻，一句就写尽了反转：被看轻的人把王子顶了回去。
X just told Y to go take a flying leap.
场合：跟朋友转述某人硬气拒绝伴侣时用；正式场合或当着当事人父母不要说，杀伤力太大。
She told Prince Charming to take a hike. ／ The princess just showed the prince the door.
口语
Cinderella 和 Prince Charming 说清楚，flying leap 连读带过。
She just told her perfect boyfriend to go take a flying leap. 她刚叫那个完美男友哪儿凉快哪儿待着去。
Grandpa, I won't stand for it. I won't stand for our being humiliated like this. They're ashamed to tell you why they were there. They're ashamed to admit they came to look my family over to see if I was good enough to marry their precious son.
爷爷，我忍不了。 我不能容忍我们这样被人羞辱。 他们不好意思说自己去那儿干什么。 他们不好意思承认，是来打量我一家，看看我配不配上他们宝贝儿子。
下一章 · 23get over it走出来这场戏：念完信决定卖房意思是「跑去体验穷人生活」，指上层人出于好奇去底层地方寻乐子。这话带讽刺，暗示对方只是来看新鲜。
意思是「容忍、接受」。I won't stand for it 就是「我绝不容忍这种事」，语气很强硬。
look over。look someone over 就是从头到脚打量某人，片里指柯比夫妇来审视爱丽丝一家。
stand trial。stand 在这里是「站上（法庭）」，stand trial 就是「出庭受审」，多指刑事被告正式上庭受审。
是句粗鲁的驱赶语，意思是「滚远点、哪凉快哪待着」。片里用来形容灰姑娘把王子打发走。
