今天我们来看一下老友记第一季第一集中的一个片段,Monica约到了一个很受欢迎的帅哥 - Paul the wine guy. 朋友们都为她感到开心,Monica也满怀激动地迎来了他们的第一次约会。
然而不幸的是这个Paul是个渣男,专门欺骗女性。而此时可怜的Monica还蒙在鼓里。
今天我们就来看一下他们一起吃饭的时候聊了什么吧。
字幕
Paul: I know, I know, I'm such an idiot. I guess I should have caught on when she started going to the dentist four and five times a week. I mean, how clean can teeth get?
Monica: My brother's going through that right now, he's such a mess. How did you get through it?
Paul: Well, you might try accidentally breaking something valuable of hers, say her-
Monica: -leg?
Paul: That's one way! Me, I- I went for the watch.
Monica: You actually broke her watch? Wow! The worst thing I ever did was, I-I shredded by boyfriend's favorite bath towel.
Paul: Ooh, steer clear of you.
翻译:
Paul: 我知道,我是个大白痴。她每周看四五次牙医时我就应该意识到了。我指牙齿能有多干净?
Monica: 我哥正承受着这种痛苦,他一团糟糕。你是怎么熬过来的?
Paul: 你可以不小心砸烂她贵重的东西,如她的……
Monica: -腿?
Paul: 这样也不赖!我……我砸烂了她的表
Monica: 你真的砸烂过她的表?哇!我做过的最坏的事情是,我撕碎了男朋友最喜欢的浴巾。
Paul: 那我可得离你远点(玩笑话)
看完之不禁感觉,渣男果然套路深。上来先说自己被抛弃的悲惨经历,引起Monica的同情心。同时用这个来和女伴找共同语言。然后一步一步地换取信任。
唉,Monica还是把眼睛擦亮一点吧。
接着,还是让我们来学几句常见的口语表达。
地道口语
1.catch on 发现xx事情,理解,明白内容
例如别人讲话你没明白,就可以说

My life is such a mess 我的人生糟透了。He lost his temper when he saw the room was in such a mess . 当他看到房间里一团糟时,他发火了。3.go through 指经历不好的事情
get through挺过来,熬过来不好的事情
I went through a hard time last year but I finally got through it.
我去年度过了一段艰难时光,但是我挺过来了。
4.
比如当别人让你做选择时就可以用这个词组
Which one do want, the big one or the small one?
I go for the big one.
5. steer clear of xx 离远一点,躲得远远的
如说离吸烟的人远一点就可以说,Steer clear of the smokers.
