Caroline in the City S1x03

 1

00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:08,540

What do you think of this one, Richard?


2

00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,200

Well, you see that tiny black speck

[spɛk]斑點;汙跡?


3

00:00:11,660 --> 00:00:13,480

That symbolizes[ˋsɪmb!͵aɪz]象徵

how small we are.


4

00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,320

If we could only go through life and step back

如果我們在人生中能夠不時退後一步,


5

00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,460

now and then不時地、偶爾 to see how 

insignificant[͵ɪnsɪgˋnɪfəkənt]

微小的;微不足道 

we all are,

看看我們大家是多麼微不足道


6

00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:19,180

perhaps...


7

00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,980

Okay, it's about nothingness[ˋnʌθɪŋnɪs]虛無, 

complete emptiness[ˋɛmptɪnɪs]空虛, 

the lack of any


8

00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:26,440

content[ˋkɑntɛnt]內容.


9

00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,600

Caroline, are you sure Alan is 

the hairdresser[ˋhɛr͵drɛsɚ]n.美髮師 

for you?


10

00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,580

I mean, I know you only remember the good cuts,


11

00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,400

but think back.


12

00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:37,020

That poodle[ˋpud!]貴賓狗;卷毛狗 

perm[pɝm]n.燙髮 last summer?


13

00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:38,860

The dye[daɪ]給…染色 job in 94?


dye job

這是一個固定用法。

不是:

工作(job)

而是:

一次染髮

染髮成果


14

00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:42,220

Alan's been doing my hair for three years.


15

00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,580

Apparently[əˈpærəntli]adv.明顯地, 

he's lost the passion and now he's just going


16

00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:45,180

through the motions[ˈmoʃǝn]n.運動.


go through the motions 把動作做完

敷衍了事;只是例行公事;做做樣子


17

00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:48,240

Why don't I make an appointment[əˈpɔɪntmənt]n.約會

with my guy?


要不要我幫你預約我的髮型設計師?


Why don't I + 原形動詞...?


意思不是字面上的: 為什麼我不……?

而是用來主動提出建議或自願幫忙,意思相當於:

不如我……吧?

要不要我……?

我來……怎麼樣?


18

00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:50,060

Annie, I don't know.


19

00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,520

Hey, Richard!


20

00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:53,380

Damn!


21

00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,620

You want to join us?


22

00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,680

Well, I was looking forward to sitting by myself and


be looking forward to + V-ing / 名詞

意思:期待、盼望


23

00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,300

reading Sartre's Nausea /ˈnɑː.zi.ə/n.噁心.


Sartre → 法國哲學家沙特

Nausea →《噁心》(存在主義小說)


24

00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:00,860

Come on, sit down.


25

00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:02,420

Nausea can wait until after lunch.


26

00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,140

What happened to your hair?


27

00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:05,100

Make the appointment[əˈpɔɪntmənt] n.約會.

去預約


28

00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:08,260

Paul, I'm going to have to cut this short.


I’m going to have to…

→ 我不得不……

cut this short

→ 縮短這段(對話/會議/聊天)

讓話題提早結束


29

00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,260

I was just on the phone with my 

gallery[ˈgæləri]畫廊.


30

00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,100

This lunatic[ˈluːnətɪk]n.瘋狂愚蠢的人 ran in, 

chained[tʃeɪn]vt.用鏈條拴住 himself 

to my assistant[əˈsɪstənt] 助理, and


31

00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:14,360

claimed he was a living 

sculpture[ˈskʌlptʃɚ].n.雕塑


32

00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:15,860

You know...


33

00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:17,440

Hey, did you guys hear that?


34

00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880

Chapter four, the smell of death.


35

00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:22,440

Richard, don't you get it?


36

00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:23,240

You're an artist.


37

00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,340

You're an artist.


38

00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,540

He owns an art gallery.


39

00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:26,800

Hey, Remo, you know the guy behind me?


40

00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,060

Oh, see?


41

00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,180

That's Kenneth Arabian[ǝˈrеbɪǝn].


42

00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,300

He owns the hottest SoHo art gallery downtown, and


SoHo = 紐約知名藝術區

downtown = 市中心


43

00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:33,860

he had the calamari:[ˈkælǝˌmɛrɪ]魷魚片.


44

00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,580

It's a very good thing.


45

00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,940

Richard, go over and talk to him.


46

00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,360

Introduce yourself.


47

00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:43,440

Maybe he'll give you a show.


48

00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:44,500

Oh, come on, Caroline.


49

00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,680

It doesn't work that way.


50

00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:47,380

It doesn't have to work that way.


51

00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:48,440

But it could.


52

00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:50,740

Look, I've resigned/rɪˈzaɪn/把……託交給

myself to the fact that I'm one


have resigned oneself to

固定片語:

接受(不情願但無法改變的事實)


53

00:01:50,740 --> 00:01:52,880

of those artists who won't be discovered until after he's


54

00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,200

dead.


55

00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,620

Now, I know it sounds 

morbid[ˈmɒrbɪd]病態的;【口】憂鬱的

, but, well, it gives


56

00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:56,820

me something to look forward to.


57

00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,120

Go over there.


58

00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,420

No.


59

00:01:59,640 --> 00:01:59,840

Go.


60

00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:00,060

No.


61

00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:00,320

Go.


62

00:02:00,380 --> 00:02:00,480

No.


63

00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:00,880

Stop it.


64

00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:04,520

Okay.


65

00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:05,260

Okay, fine.


66

00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,120

Have it your way.


67

00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,060

Richard, don't argue with me.


68

00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,640

You're an incredible artist, and it's the world's loss that


69

00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:13,900

you've never had your own show.


70

00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:18,640

Is he looking?


71

00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:20,820

No.


72

00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:23,180

I think he's checking to see if his ears are


73

00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:23,560

bleeding.[blid] 流血


74

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,400

It's just so sad.


75

00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:29,840

I know he'd love nothing more than to have one


76

00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,160

of his paintings in an art gallery, but between you


77

00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,820

and me, I think he's got this fear of failure


78

00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:34,220

thing.


79

00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:36,840

The man's 30, and he colors in cartoons for a


80

00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:36,980

living.


81

00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:38,040

What makes you think that?


82

00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,900

I just wish there was something I could do to


83

00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:42,300

help him.


84

00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,320

Why don't the two of us just walk over and


85

00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,060

talk to this guy?


86

00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:45,900

I don't know.


87

00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:47,200

I don't want to seem 

pushy[ˈpʊʃɪ] 咄咄逼人的.


88

00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:48,460

Leave it to me.


89

00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:51,800

Annie?


90

00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,600

Annie?


91

00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:52,800

Annie?


92

00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,880

Not that choking[tʃok] 使窒息;哽住

thing again.


93

00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,460

Annie?


94

00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:58,020

Check, please!


95

00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,500

Oh, my God.


96

00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:00,300

Annie, are you all right?


97

00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:00,880

Annie!


98

00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:05,860

Are you all right?


99

00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:06,680

She's okay!


100

00:03:08,140 --> 00:03:09,240

She's okay.


101

00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,160

Nobody ever dies at Remo's.


102

00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,720

Okay, there was the one guy.


103

00:03:19,540 --> 00:03:20,900

Are you sure you're all right?


104

00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:23,060

I hope I didn't touch anything I wasn't supposed to.


105

00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,240

Oh, no, that's okay.


106

00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,680

Thank you so much, Mr. Arabian.


107

00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:28,420

Kenneth Arabian.


108

00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:32,360

The Kenneth Arabian?


109

00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:33,820

Of the Kenneth Arabian Art Gallery?


110

00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:36,020

Oh, wow, I love your gallery.


111

00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:36,580

Caroline, look who it is!


112

00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,100

Just saved my life.


113

00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:40,960

Kenneth Arabian.


114

00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,560

From the Kenneth Arabian Art Gallery.


115

00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:44,820

Can you believe I'm Kenneth Arabian from the Kenneth Arabian


116

00:03:44,820 --> 00:03:45,220

Art Gallery?


117

00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,420

I'm Annie Spadaro.


118

00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:48,700

Hi.


119

00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,320

I'm Caroline Duffy.


120

00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:51,180

Nice to meet you.


121

00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:53,800

She doesn't always look this bad.


122

00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,340

So you've been to my art gallery?


123

00:03:56,660 --> 00:03:57,680

Oh, please.


124

00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,420

Dozens of times, right, Caroline?


125

00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,660

Yeah, dozens.


126

00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,800

And this is just so weird, Kenneth, because right before


127

00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,520

Annie's little brush[brʌʃ] 擦過,掠過

 with death, we were talking about our


128

00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,260

artist friend Richard.


129

00:04:10,420 --> 00:04:11,560

And you'd like me to take a look at his


130

00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:11,760

work?


131

00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,500

Yeah.


132

00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:13,760

How did you know?


133

00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,000

It's tricky[ˈtrɪkɪ]困難的 / 不太容易

 to choke when you haven't been served any


134

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,240

food.


135

00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:21,640

So you're sure your friend is right for my gallery?


136

00:04:21,940 --> 00:04:24,700

Yes, he is definitely Kenneth Arabian material.

他絕對是 Kenneth Arabian 會欣賞的那種人


137

00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,740

Definitely.


138

00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,660

Well, sure.


139

00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:29,220

Have him stop by the gallery.

讓他來畫廊一趟

stop by = 順便拜訪



140

00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:34,520

Uh, could I ask you something?


141

00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:35,560

Is he always so 

tortured?  [ˈtɒrtʃɚ] 痛苦


他是不是一直都很有那種痛苦藝術家的氣質?


142

00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:36,240

Yeah.


143

00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:36,440

Yeah.


144

00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:37,820

I like torture.


145

00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:58,180

Hi there.


146

00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,100

Let's stop this.


147

00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,760

Kenneth Arabian.


148

00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:10,120

Richard Karinsky.


149

00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:11,180

Oh, right.


150

00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:11,800

From Remos.


151

00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:12,340

Yes.


152

00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:14,080

Didn't Thelma and Louise come with you?


Thelma & Louise 是一部講「兩個女性一起逃亡、

非常緊密行動」的電影。


所以這句其實帶有幽默暗示:

把 Richard 的朋友戲稱成「永遠成雙成對的搭檔」


153

00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,600

They, uh, they actually let me out on my own


154

00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,020

sometimes.


155

00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:22,120

Oh, well, they said your work would be perfect in


156

00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,560

my gallery.


157

00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,020

Have you ever had a show, Richard?


158

00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,140

Only on my mother's 

refrigerator.[rɪˈfrɪdʒǝˌrеtɚ] 冰箱


159

00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:30,080

Well, but it ran for eight years.

而且一展就是八年


160

00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:32,940

Well, let's see what you have here.


161

00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,780

I'm sorry, my x-ray vision's on the blink.


vision[ˈvɪʒǝn]:視力;視覺

blink[blɪŋk]:閃亮,閃爍

on the blink 意思:故障了,壞掉了


162

00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:37,080

I'm actually gonna have to look at this.


163

00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:42,680

Now, uh, feel free to be honest.


164

00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,480

I'm very open to 

criticism.[ˈkrɪtǝˌsɪzǝm]批評;評論


165

00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:45,720

Hmm.


166

00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:46,600

Oh, yeah?


167

00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:47,720

He compared his work to Kriegel.

for the show.


280

00:09:04,170 --> 00:09:06,050

But, uh, well, I can't do it on my own

00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:49,110

Gay?


333

00:10:49,970 --> 00:10:50,950

What do you mean, gay?


334

00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:54,410

Well, when two people are the same sex.


335

00:10:56,670 --> 00:10:59,130

Charlie, why would you think that Richard is gay?


336

00:10:59,570 --> 00:11:01,910

Because only gay artists can show at the Arabian Gallery.


337

00:11:02,070 --> 00:11:03,990

My brother's boyfriend, he's an artist, and he had a


338

00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:04,310

show there.


339

00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:05,050

You know what?


這裡不是:

「你知道什麼?」


而是一個口語轉折:

「對了……」

「說到這個……」

「你知道嗎……」


340

00:11:05,070 --> 00:11:05,870

But don't tell my mom.


341

00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:06,530

I'd break her heart.


342

00:11:06,770 --> 00:11:08,150

She thinks he's dating a doctor.


343

00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:14,070

Oh, my God.


344

00:11:14,070 --> 00:11:15,330

This is gonna crush Richard.


345

00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:16,430

He has no idea.


346

00:11:17,170 --> 00:11:19,250

Well, Caroline, let this be a lesson to you next


347

00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:19,510

time.


348

00:11:19,610 --> 00:11:20,450

Mind your own business.


349

00:11:29,770 --> 00:11:30,710

I don't understand it.


350

00:11:30,810 --> 00:11:32,350

I mean, I just don't understand it.


351

00:11:32,410 --> 00:11:34,850

I mean, if the gallery is just for gay artists,


352

00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:36,230

why would Arabian choose me?


353

00:11:36,450 --> 00:11:37,410

Oh, it makes me sick.


354

00:11:37,490 --> 00:11:39,150

You know, people are so quick to judge.


355

00:11:39,270 --> 00:11:41,430

I mean, just because you dress well, you don't like


356

00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:42,830

sports, you go to the opera.


357

00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:45,350

Are you sure you have to drop out of the


drop out of + 活動

= 退出、不參加某個活動


358

00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:45,490

Yes, I have to drop out of the show.


360

00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:50,350

I'm straight.


straight[strеt]【俚】非同性戀者


361

00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:52,830

Richard, you've been dying to be in an art show

而是:

非常渴望做某事

超想做某事


362

00:11:52,830 --> 00:11:53,750

all your life.


all your life

= 你這一輩子/一直以來


363

00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:57,290

Maybe your being straight can be just our little secret.


your being straight = 你是異性戀這件事

也就是把一整件事情當成「名詞」。


364

00:11:59,710 --> 00:12:01,250

That is a great idea.


365

00:12:01,850 --> 00:12:02,430

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.


366

00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:03,090

What are you suggesting?


367

00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:05,410

That I lie and pass myself off as gay?


pass oneself off as + 身分

= 冒充/假裝自己是……

例如:

He passed himself off as a doctor.

他冒充醫生。


368

00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:06,290

Quick, quick.


369

00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:07,290

Liza Minnelli's birthday.


Liza Minnelli/ˈlaɪ.zə//mɪˈnɛli/

是美國著名歌手、演員,

也是長期與 gay culture 有密切文化連結

的娛樂界偶像。


這句表面上很突然,其實是 Annie 在測試

 Richard 是否「夠 gay」。


370

00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:10,030

Don't you have a fleet of sailors to greet?


fleet[flit]艦隊

sailor[ˈsеlɚ]船員;水手

greet[ɡrit]問候,迎接

a fleet of sailors = 一整支艦隊的水手



371

00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:11,050

Very bitchy.


bitchy[ˈbɪtʃɪ] 【俚】惡毒的


372

00:12:11,210 --> 00:12:11,610

That's good.


373

00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:17,630

Richard, who is it gonna hurt?


374

00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:19,970

Look, Caroline, I'm not ashamed of being straight.


ashamed[ǝˈʃеmd](adj.)羞愧的


375

00:12:20,430 --> 00:12:22,030

In this day and age, I should be able to

376

00:12:22,030 --> 00:12:24,110

walk into that gallery with a woman in my arms


377

00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:26,790

and not feel like I'm being stared and gawked at


be stared at

被人盯著看

gawk[ɡɒk]【美】【口】痴呆地看

gawk at

gawk at 比 look at 強烈很多:

張大眼睛盯著看

無禮地瞪著看

像看稀奇東西一樣看


stared and gawked at

是在加強語氣:

被大家盯著看、當稀奇東西看。



378

00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:28,030

like some sideshow freak.


sideshow[ˈsaɪdˌʃo]穿插節目

freak[frik] 畸形的人(或動植物)


like some sideshow freak

翻成:

380

00:12:32,110 --> 00:12:32,550

Hello, Mr. Arabian?


382

00:12:41,870 --> 00:12:42,230

Richard.


383

00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:48,790

We've got to stop meeting like this.


384

00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:51,170

Look, can I talk to you for a second?


385

00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:51,590

Oh, sure.


386

00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:53,430

Oh, first, let me show you something.


387

00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:55,890

This is your wall.


388

00:12:56,990 --> 00:12:58,430

It's where the Kriegel usually hangs.


389

00:12:59,050 --> 00:13:00,950

Oh, my God, my own wall?


390

00:13:01,050 --> 00:13:02,010

It's still wet, by the way.


391

00:13:04,990 --> 00:13:06,870

Oh, I'm so embarrassed.


392

00:13:06,950 --> 00:13:07,530

Oh, don't be.


393

00:13:07,630 --> 00:13:08,590

Kriegel did the same thing.


394

00:13:09,530 --> 00:13:10,930

Have you decided which piece you'd like to exhibit?


395

00:13:11,470 --> 00:13:12,650

Uh, look, about that, Kenneth.


396

00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:14,490

Look, I have a real problem.


397

00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:15,570

Kenneth, I love you.


398

00:13:15,610 --> 00:13:15,970

You know that.


399

00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:16,770

You're the mother I never had.


400

00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:22,190

But where do you find these workers?


401

00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:25,290

How hard can it be to hang a collage facing

Now, you expect to sell my painting for $30,000?

I mean, if somebody actually buys my painting, you know,


488

00:16:15,180 --> 00:16:16,820

I'll finally be able to look at myself in the

490

Gee, it's so sweet.

Oh, please.

It was only once, and...

And it didn't mean anything.


517

00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:17,500

After three years together?


518

00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:19,859

I don't even know you anymore.


519

00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,160

Alan!


525

00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:31,300

Alan!


526

00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,920

It's no excuse, but I was drunk at the time.


527

00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:50,330

Annie, Annie.


528

00:17:51,250 --> 00:17:52,150

How do I look tonight?

Why?

00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:54,790

I don't know.

00:17:54,910 --> 00:17:56,150

It's just, I mean...


532

None of these guys here are giving me a second look.


533

00:18:00,850 --> 00:18:02,430

Del, I think you look fine.


534

On the other hand, I don't have a winky.
