【青春密语】第1季第1集 Part 2

BOY1: I hate that guy. I hate him. Look at him. Now he's hitting on her.

GIRL: Why are you so obsessed with Grace Bowman? OK, why are you so obsessed with Grace Bowman?

BOY2: -Uh -

BOY1: Because she's Grace Bowman. She's a goddess.

GIRL: She's not a goddess. She's a Christian. You are not a Christian.

BOY1: I would bee a Christian if I could have Grace Bowman.

GIRL: If by "have," you mean have sex with, that would be impossible. She doesn't have sex. She's not gonna have sex until she's married, especially with you, or you, even if you became a Christian.

BOY1: Why wouldn't she have sex with me even if I became a Christian?

GIRL: 'Cause you're you, and she's Grace Bowman. She's a goddess.

BOY1: What are my chances with someone who's not gonna wait until they get married?

GIRL: 25% percent of guys your age are having sex.

BOY2: Guys?

GIRL: He's a guy, isn't he?

BOY2: He's not looking for a guy. What do you know about 15-year-old... gals?

GIRL: 20%, and I appreciate your obvious avoidance of the word "girls."

BOY1: That's encouraging.

GIRL: Maybe. Not. 29% percent of sexually active 15- to 17-year-old girls have partners three to five years older.

BOY1: All right, well, I've gotta start somewhere. Where do you think I should start?

GIRL: e there.

BOY1: She's kinda cute. Who is that?

GIRL: Her name is Amy. She plays French horn. She's in the band. She's smart, she's nice. She might be desperate enough to go out with you.

BOY2: No one's that desperate.

BOY1: You wanna bet?

GIRL: Why does it have to be a bet?

BOY2: Why not?

GIRL: 'Cause, one, you always lose, and, o, it objectifies Amy, who's a person, not a horse. Three, because winning is an obsession with Ben, and he will stop at nothing.

BOYS: It's a bet.

这段对话是这位亚裔女孩的睿智和善于揶揄的特质的充分体现。
1.【hit on sb】偶然碰到, 在这里指调情。
2.【be obsessed with sb】 对某人痴迷。对话后边出现的【obsession】是其名词，表一项痴迷的事。
3.【gal】—alliterative term for girl (or woman)，口语中表示女子，姑娘，和前面用来指男性的guy形成对照（好比男人和女人对照，男孩和女孩对照）。BOY2避免在该场合使用girl, 转而使用了gal, 可能是想掩饰自己对此问题的过分关注，或者回避girl 在口语中的其他意思，例如女人，女朋友，情人。
4.【objectify sb】意为 具体化，这里指“意淫”，引申为“侵犯”
5.【stop at nothing】不择手段，不顾一切
