《MODERN LOVE》S01E03| 看美剧学点实用表达

！

绝对有干货

希望你能记笔记呀

02  TAKE ME AS I AM,WHOEVER I AM

00:02:02,040 -->00:02:04,720

不过...也不能说是小问题

Well... it's big-ish.

-ish:有点儿，大约，比如你熟悉的childish，或者greenish有点绿

00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,930

发疯似地那种想要

Like, a craving for peaches.

crave for:渴望，迫切地想要相当于desperate for，后面还有一个意思相近的，留意哦~

00:02:41,070 -->00:02:43,850

而且我当时光耀夺目

and I'm shimmering.

shimmer:发光，闪烁，看到shi-开头基本就有bling bling的感觉了，另外，还记得第一集里面的scintillate吗，说一个人才华横溢，妙趣横生，也是bling bling的感觉

00:02:59,130 -->00:03:00,660

很搭我的心情

It matched my mood.

后面还有一个match，留意一下

00:03:34,680 -->00:03:35,890

没有谁是来招蜂引蝶的

No one's here to pull,

00:03:35,890 -->00:03:39,100

也没人是来寻求随便搞一炮  或一夜情

no one's looking for an easy lay or a one-night stand.

在？了解一下

00:03:42,290 -->00:03:44,780

此时此地的男人绝对可靠

Men are the real deal in here.

the real deal：真诚实在的好人，说一个人诚实可靠，这个词没跑

00:03:45,350 -->00:03:47,910

再说了  如果热脸贴了冷屁股  也不至于像个十足的失败者

Plus, if you strike out, you don't have to skulk off into the night,

00:03:47,910 -->00:03:49,660

两手空空地尴尬溜走

empty-handed like a total loser.

strike out:有out就以为着结局不好，出去了，就是 出局，失败

skulk off：偷摸走，潜伏，《致命女人》里有一个很像的：slink,台词差不多是：this is how the movie always ends:the husbands slinks back to his wife,and the whore ends up drinking and alone

00:04:05,520 -->00:04:09,030

我特想吃水果沙拉  但不想买切好的

I had a hankering for a fruit salad, but, um, not preprepared.

hanker for:前面有一个crave for，一样的意思，特别想，渴求

句子里的not preprepared我觉得用的很棒，表示没切好的

00:04:13,990 -->00:04:15,380

等你想做下一顿时

and then, by the time you want fruit salad again,

00:04:15,380 -->00:04:17,160

发现食材又有点不新鲜了

everything's gone off just a little bit.

gone off：食物变质

00:05:24,720 -->00:05:26,070

约会时要是能知道另一方

It's just good to know those things

00:05:26,070 -->00:05:27,480

有这样的打算  是件好事

when you're going on a date with someone.

going on a date with：约会，摘抄这个词组是因为它让我想起两个有关 约会 的词儿，比如《Ameican College English》里面的go out,还有第二集的see

果然记这种词儿好记啊

00:05:38,450 -->00:05:40,070

你让我整个人都精神了过来

I mean, you just, like, totally brightened up my day.

你就是我的光，让我振作起来了！

00:05:42,150 -->00:05:44,690

工作到很晚  起床没精打采  毫无方向

Late night. Woke up dejected,directionless,

00:05:44,690 -->00:05:46,790

突然间  丽塔·海华丝就这样在超市里向我走来

and Rita Hayworth walks up to me in the supermarket.

看这两个加粗的词，注意构词法：de-表示向下的，不好的，我们学过reject，是拒绝的意思，re-是后退、返回，那么deject就是心情不好、无精打采

00:06:16,930 -->00:06:19,000

突然间  我不想去上班了

Suddenly, work doesn't seem that interesting to me.

00:06:19,000 -->00:06:21,420

你想不想...吃点早餐什么的

Do you want to... you want to grab breakfast?

本来是I am not interested in work，却说成了work doesn't seem interesting to me,官方叫这个现象为 非灵主语，即以物作为主语，很实用的一种现象，比如你想想

这饭它突然就不香了

该怎么说？

grab用在吃上还蛮好用的，除了剧中的grab breakfast,还有比如grab a bite,吃点东西

00:06:26,780 -->00:06:29,500

早餐就是两个人顶着凌乱的发型  迷迷糊糊

Breakfast is, like, bed head and tired and gloopy and...

00:06:29,500 -->00:06:31,300

也没有浓妆艳抹  华灯高照

It's no makeup, brightlights.

bed head:刚起床的发型，蓬松的头发~

gloop:难看的半流体物质，粘稠的东西，比如，额，哈喇子

00:06:40,050 -->00:06:42,100

-咖啡我可以  -走吧

- I can do coffee. - Okay.

do用法超级灵活，比如你去面试，就能说do the interview

00:08:44,650 -->00:08:46,650

你来之前  高手一直是我

I was the hotshot until you arrived.

hotshot:高手，精英，另外看到shot你是否想起了 机会 呢？

00:08:46,660 -->00:08:50,520

看看你啊  意气风发  踌躇满志

And look at you... like a ginger cat who got the cream.

ginger:姜黄色的

like a cat that's got the cream：就像猫拿到了甜品，当然就是 洋洋得意，踌躇满志

00:09:01,140 -->00:09:03,710

这都快十点了你才大摇大摆地来公司

because you swanned in here at 10:00 a.M.

swan是天鹅，它走起路来的样子就是 大摇大摆，很悠闲

00:09:11,890 -->00:09:14,420

我在买肉食  他在买蔬果

I was in cold meats and cheese. He was in fruit and veg.

in可以说是万能的了，不只限于穿衣服哦~

00:09:19,550 -->00:09:22,140

之前是  但我们不合适

I was. It wasn't a match.

前面的match是和心情搭配，现在是说感情，另外，第一集里Guzzmin说 他不适合你，用的是：He is not for you.

00:09:22,210 -->00:09:23,720

你太挑了

You're way too choosey.

choosey:就是choose加了个y，选择地太厉害了，就是挑剔

00:09:47,220 -->00:09:48,710

知道 我会努力的

I know. I'm totally on it.

I'm on it.：我来处理，交给我，我来干，注意体会on的感觉，这句话的中文翻译视情况理解。比如，到了结账的时候，你就大方的说：I'm on it.就是说这顿饭我请，也可以说My treat.

00:09:57,940 -->00:09:59,250

-就这么定了  -好

- Date. - Okay.

Date:一言为定，就这么定了，拉钩

00:10:51,100 -->00:10:53,390

我也不知道是什么引起的

I don't know what kicks it off.

kick it off：开始，关于kick，还有kick out，踢出去

00:12:53,080 -->00:12:54,860

没能开个好头啊

It's not getting off to a great start.

get off to a great start：有个好开端，啊，回想起最初学英语时的a good beginning is half done，终身难忘

00:14:39,690 -->00:14:42,790

你不会碰巧有一个双胞胎姐妹吧

You don't have a twin... by any chance?

by any chance：碰巧，可能

00:15:30,840 -->00:15:33,040

是我不好  我...我不应该打扰你

Yeah. No, I-I should just leave you to it.

leave sb. to it：让某人做自己的事情，不再打扰，这个leave用得很妙

00:15:59,460 -->00:16:01,590

我只是...我真的感觉不太好

and I just, I don't really feel up to much.

feel up to sth.:想做某事，有热情干某事，记得前面讲过的更进一步的crave for和hanker for吗？多看就自然记住啦

00:16:06,310 -->00:16:08,250

没事 我睡一觉就没事了

Yeah, yeah. I'll-I'll sleep it off.

sleep it off:用睡眠消除身体不适或心情不好，睡就完事儿了

00:16:34,900 -->00:16:37,510

因为我无法控制自己的身体从床上爬起来

as I couldn't physically pull myself out of bed.

pull myself out of bed：把我自己从床上拉起来，pull表示很艰难，比如你懒床不起，就可以说I find it hard to pull myself out of bed

00:17:00,280 -->00:17:02,370

我立志成为全优生

I would become a star student.

a star student:优等生，好了，请叫我star student,哈哈开个玩笑

00:17:22,530 -->00:17:24,150

取得了惊人的成绩

getting killer grades.

killer：干某事很棒的人，《致命女人》里Rob说邻居跳舞跳得很好:Look at you go! You are a killer!看看你，跳得太棒了

00:17:29,410 -->00:17:32,350

我在许多公司击败了竞争对手

I beat out the competition in numerous firms.

beat out：其实和beat一样的意思，就是打败，击败，还记得第二集里Julie说She beat you(beat是过去式)不

00:17:40,100 -->00:17:43,540

手上有案子时  我会通宵达旦

burning off gallons of midnight oil when I'm on a case,

00:17:43,540 -->00:17:47,380

但这也根本无法弥补我过多的缺勤记录

simply wouldn't make up for my disastrous attendance records.

burning off gallons of midnight oil：深夜还在工作学习

make up for：补偿

00:17:54,890 -->00:17:56,840

药物疗法  凡是你能想到的

the drug therapy, you name it.

you name it：凡你能罗列出名字来的，凡你能想到的

00:18:32,210 -->00:18:34,140

我明天就能搞定  好的  没问题

Oh, yeah, I could have it by tomorrow. Okay, no problem.

could have it:能做到，可以搞定，我想到了第二集的pull that off

00:20:32,640 -->00:20:35,210

见鬼 今晚有点难

Aw, shit, tonight's kind of tricky.

tricky：难办的，棘手的，美剧里也常常出现

00:20:37,560 -->00:20:40,200

星期二  那感觉是下辈子的事了

Tuesday? Tuesday's a-a lifetime away.

a lifetime away：很长的时间，让我想起which took forever

00:26:02,730 -->00:26:06,010

如果我那次在超市里就和他坦白

If I came clean that time in the supermarket and said,

00:26:06,330 -->00:26:08,580

'对了 我有躁郁症

'Oh, by the way, I'm bipolar.

00:26:12,360 -->00:26:15,150

他会不会弃我而去  闪到冷冻食品柜那边去

Would he have run for the hills or the frozen food section

00:26:15,150 -->00:26:18,620

敷衍地说着'好的好的'  带着礼貌的假笑

with an 'Okeydokey'And a polite smile?

come clean:坦白，《致命女人》里Shiela给Beth Ann提议她跟丈夫坦白她知道丈夫的外遇时，就用了come clean，另外还可以说put it on the table,同样出自Shiela之口

bipolar：有躁郁症的，有双相障碍的

run for the hills ：跨越山河大海就为了。。。远离你，是逃避、躲避的意思

00:27:49,800 -->00:27:51,680

不想小题大做

I just didn't want to make a big deal about it.

make a big deal about it：它又来了！它来了！这个句式是不是很眼熟？第一集里面说make a big thing out of it，意思是很认真地对待，把它看得很重，这句绝对是异曲同工

 

00:28:38,860 -->00:28:40,750

青春苦短嘛

Well, I guess you're only young once.

you're only young once：人生苦短，及时行乐，可以直接说YOLO

00:29:37,220 -->00:29:39,040

我没资格做任何人的朋友

Uh, I don't check a single box.
