《他没那么喜欢你》精讲 63 我还有个带有魔法色彩的名字

Guest1: You're doing a great job.

Guest2: Oh, my gosh, it's Bridget. Hi!

Guest3: Oh, my goodness.

Guest4: Oh, what a beautiful dog.

Paige: Seriously, Devon, I really did feel just a moment, a splash, of hesitation¹.

Devon: No, there wasn't. There wasn't any hesitation at all.

Paige: You just did it again. That was a pause.

Devon: I did not pause.

Dan: You must be Beth.

Beth: Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: Heard a lot about you from Paige. Actually been lobbying to sit next to her single sister for weeks.

Beth: Oh, yeah?So you must be:Dan.

Dan: Sort of.

Beth: Sort of?

Dan: Well, I'm actually a Wiccan.

Beth: a What?

Dan: a Wiccan.

Beth: Wiccan?

Dan: Male witch.

Beth: Right.

Dan: So I also have a magical name. It's Brother Phoenix² East-Horse. But I didn't know if that would fit on the card. Love that.

Beth: I'm guessing tonight that I'm gonna hear a whole lot about you.

Dan: Nature-based pre-Christian paganism, yeah.

Beth: Yeah. That's fantastic.

Dan: Well, where to begin? Well, first off, it's not just a bunch of nude³ farming. Dad.

Beth: Wow.

Dan: Let's look at Stonehenge. Obviously not a coincidence. They didn't have the machinery⁴ to move those rocks. They're huge.

Beth: Yeah, they're heavy.

Dan: Of course.

客人1：你们做得很好。

客人2： 哦，天哪，是布丽姬特，嗨！

客人3：噢，天哪。

客人4：啊，好漂亮的狗呀。

佩琪： 说真的，德文，我觉得你刚才在宣誓的时候，有那么一瞬间的犹豫。

德文：是的，我一点都没犹豫。

佩琪：你又来了，又停顿了。

德文：我没有停顿。

丹：你一定是贝斯吧。

贝斯：是的。

丹：从佩琪那听到你很多事。她游说我好几周了，让我一定要在婚礼时和她的单身妹妹坐一起。

贝斯：是吗？所以你一定是丹。

丹：差不多吧。

贝斯：差不多？

丹：嗯，实际上我是一个巫术迷信者。

贝斯：一个什么？

丹：一个巫术迷信者。

贝斯：巫术迷信者？

丹：也就是男巫师。

贝斯：好吧。

丹：我还有个带有魔法色彩名字。就是兄弟凤凰东方骑士，但我不知道这个名字适不适合放在名片上。我很喜欢它。

贝斯：我猜今晚我会听到很多关于你的事情。

丹：一些基督诞生前的异教徒事迹，没错。

贝斯：是的，这太棒了。

丹：那么从哪儿开始讲起呢？首先，那不仅仅是一群无知的农民，我的神啊。

贝斯：哇哦。

丹：来看看史前巨石柱。明显不是巧合。他们没有机器来移动这些石头。它们太巨大了。

贝斯：是的，是很重。

丹：当然。
