《他没那么喜欢你》精讲 09 结婚违背自然规律吗

Neil: Who was that?

Ben: Oh, that was a prospective¹ client.

Neil: Oh, okay.

Ben: I can talk to a woman. It doesn't have to be like that

Neil: No, absolutely not.

Ben: Just drive.

Neil: Relax. Hi.

Beth: Hi.

Neil: How you doing?

Beth: Good.

Neil: Yeah?

Beth: Yeah. I just got off the phone.

Neil: Yeah?

Beth: Yeah, with my little sister.

Neil: How’s she doing?

Beth: She’s getting married.

Neil: Really?

Beth: Yeah.

Neil: Great.

Beth: You really think that’s great?

Neil: Yeah. Devon seems like a great guy.

Beth: Well, so you think it’s great that they’re getting married but you don’t ever feel like we’re going against nature or something by not getting married?

Neil: No. Going against nature is like the cat who suckled that monkey. You and I are just two people who happen not to be married. Let me tell you something. People who get married are not to be trusted.

Beth: You are so weird².

尼尔：她是谁？

本：一个潜在的客户。

尼尔：哦，不错。

本：我和一个女孩子说说话，你用不着这样吧？

尼尔：我没有。

本：开车吧。

尼尔：别紧张。嗨。

贝斯：嗨。

尼尔：你好吗？

贝斯：很好。

尼尔：是吗？

贝斯：是啊，我刚讲完电话。

尼尔：是吗？

贝斯：是啊，跟我妹妹。

尼尔：她好吗？

贝斯：她要结婚了。

尼尔：真的。

贝斯：是的。

尼尔：很好啊。

贝斯：你真觉得好？

尼尔：是的，戴文是个很好的男人。

贝斯：他们结婚了，你觉得很好，而我们还没结婚，你却不觉得违背自然规律？

尼尔：不觉得，猫给猴子喂奶才是违背自然规律。你我只是两个碰巧都不结婚的人。告诉你吧，结了婚就不再互相信任了。

贝斯：你真古怪。
