前段时间热播了电视剧《双城生活》，讲述夫妻二人分居不同城市的种种情感纠纷。今天开始，Rose也为您讲述一段“双城恋”。男主角Garrett在一家并不尊重他想法的唱片公司工作，和女友谈着完全不上心的恋爱。不上心，不用心，也就自然理解不了对方的想法。于是，就有了下面这段分手桥段。

Amy：So...那么……

Garrett：So...Happy birthday. 那么，生日快乐。

Amy：Oh. Thank you...for the takeout. 谢谢……你买的快餐。

Garrett：Sure. It's the least I could do. It's your birthday. 当然。我至少能做这些。今天是你的生日。

Amy：Heh. So? 那么……

Garrett：Oh, yeah, right. But Dan's home, so we gotta go to the bedroom. 哦，是的。对。但是Dan在家，我们得到卧室去。

Amy：Oh. Are we done in here? 就没别的了？

Garrett：Yeah, we finished eating. What? 是啊，我们不是吃完了吗？怎么了？

Amy：I just thought that this might be a great moment for you to give me my gift. 我就是想，这个时候正适合你送给我生日礼物。

Garrett：Oh, shit. Amy, I didn't get you anything. You told me that you didn't want me to get you anything. What's happening? Oh, God. Are you crying? 哦。该死。我什么都没给你买。你告诉我不用给你买任何东西。怎么了？哦，上帝。你哭了？

Amy：No. 是的。

Garrett：I have missed something here, baby. So you wanted a present? 我搞错什么了吗，宝贝儿？那么，你是想要礼物了？

Amy：Garrett, I tell you not to get me something, so you want to get me something really great, because I'm the girlfriend that didn't ask for anything. 我告诉你不用给我买东西，所以你才会给我买真正好的礼物，因为你的女友毫无所求。

Garrett：What? Okay, you know what, let's go. I'll get you something now. 什么？好吧，咱们走。我现在就给你买点什么。

Amy：It is not about the goddamn gift. 这不是见鬼的礼物的问题。

Garrett：It just was about the gift. When did it become not about the gift? 不就是有关礼物吗？什么时候又不是礼物的问题了？

Amy：It's bigger than this. It's a combination of a lot of things①. I've invested so much myself in this relationship② and I don't feel like you're doing the same. I don't even know if you're into this. ③Are you? 事情比礼物的事儿大多了。这是很多问题的集合体。对于这段关系我深深投入。可是我不觉得你和我一样。我甚至不知道你到底在乎这段感情与否。你在乎吗？

Garrett：Sure. 当然。

Amy：Oh, my God. 哦，我的上帝。

Garrett：Ah, Amy, come on. 别这样。

Amy：Don't even think about calling me again. 连打电话给我的事儿都不要再想了。

Garrett： Oh, Jesus. Amy, wait, wait, wait. I should not call you or I should want to call you? Okay, so it means what it means. Good.哦，上帝。等等。我不能打给你，还是我应该要打给你。好吧。看来是说的是什么意思就是什么意思了。好。

人们常说，女人心，似海深，明明白白把心里想要的事情表达出来似乎不是大多数女生的风格。这也常常是引起不满和误会的原因之一。一方直来直去，一方期待暗示之后的意外效果。不过，Garrett显然是没能理解上去。生日礼物（能不能切下面的“生日”？？？）只是导火索，是不是真的投入到了感情当中才是对方在意的关键。

1.it's a combination of a lot of things。combination, 联合体，结合体。a combination of 一个……的结合体。这里指礼物只是小事儿，不送生日礼物的事儿折射出了很多二人之间的问题。

2.invested so much myself in this relationship. Invest…in “投入”，更常用于指“投入时间、金钱”等做某事。比如：He invested a lot of time in trying to help retarded children. 他把大量时间花在设法帮助弱智儿童上。

3.if you’re into this. 这个用法我们在欧美影视剧中非常常见。口语中，into指“对……有兴趣；热衷于，入迷”。比如：She’s really into pop music. 她很迷流行音乐。He is very deep into computers. 他痴迷于电脑。

不上心的结果就是女友佛袖而去。也许，the right girl 还没有出现。一旦出现，Garrett还会这么无所谓吗？我们下期继续这段双城之恋。
