冤家成双对 第一季

在不开心或者难过的时候，习惯了要给自己找些什么来开心。在这个年代里，你已经几乎无法找到还能耐下心来陪着你，听你倾诉的人了。更不要说这个人还要负责让你抛开烦恼开心起来。唯一能做的就是自救了。我的自救方式之一，也是一直认为最经济，最安全，最有效的办法，就是找个喜剧看看。最好是可以让人大笑的，可以暂时忘记不愉快的事情。
coupling 就是这样一部影片，当然也许不会对任何人都有效。但它的确有时候会令你笑的捧腹。
也许没有止痛药对付疼痛那么有效，但是，不开心的你，不妨试试。

　　重新看coupling还是那么好笑，又记了两段jeff和patrick对于lesbian porn的看法，大概能回答不少女生的困惑。
　　
　　jeff：oh, wouldn't that be great.being a lesbian.all the advantages of being a man but with less embarrassing genitals. plus, every time you have sex, there's four breasts! two guest breasts, and two you can take home afterwards.oh it's bloody brilliant!
　　
　　patrick：i like films with lesbians in them, 'cause it's nice to think that there are attracive women who can't find a boyfriend.
　　
　　BTW，patrick在E4的发型真的是soooooo gay。

英国人总是有办法让尴尬的事情变成令人喷饭的幽默。又是一个关于sex的喜剧，不过，不同于sex and the city的夸张（或者因为看了sex and the city以后更容易接受coupling的略显含蓄的调侃），coupling对sex的调侃让人感觉比较自然。同样是涉及到sex,coupling也比美国派不容易让人感到恶心。说了这么多，就是想赞扬一下BBC的水准，虽然是a naughty new comedy about nothing but sex,但是，男女主人公都很可爱，笨拙但不猥琐，他们碰到的一些在处理男女关系方面的问题许多都是一般人可能会碰到的。刚刚认识的尴尬，打电话问好过以后不知道说什么，等等。。。然而调侃得非常的好。一头卷发的Jeff真是一个活宝，跑题的水平一流，总是在关键时刻冒出一两句不相干的话，罗罗嗦嗦并且有强迫症的Jane，居然强迫一个Gay跟她约会，优柔寡断意志薄弱的Steve，分个手约个会都弄得非常的困难。本片英语很清晰，YDY字幕翻译的也还可以，如果要看外挂的也可以。

另外，英国人真是喜欢讲政治，开玩笑也喜欢调侃政治。Sally为了Patrick的保守党身份挣扎了好一阵。I would consider anyone except animal and Torries最正常的就是女主角了，可惜因为这样她也稍显无聊。
片头曲很有意思，正好是Quizas, quizas, quizas的英文版，perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, 不同的是，Nat Cole King的Quizas唱得比较柔情缠绵的爵士，perhaps则唱得欢快一点，调侃意味更多一点，有点mambo味道，让人听了就想笑。
Quizas的歌词是这样的：

Siempre que te pregunto
Que, cuándo, cómo y dónde
Tú siempre me respondes
Quizás, quizás, quizás

Y así pasan los días
Y yo, desesperando
Y tú, tú c ontestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás

Estás perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que más tú quieras
Hasta cuándo Hasta cuándo

Y así pasan los días
Y yo, desesperando
Y tú, tú c ontestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás

Estás perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que más tú quieras
Hasta cuándo Hasta cuándo

Y así pasan los días
Y yo, desesperando
Y tú, tú c ontestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás

我总是一遍又一遍的追问你
何时，何地，又该如何
你却总是回答说
或许，或许，或许

时日就这样飞过
我的绝望与日俱增
而你，你却还是这样回答
或许，或许，或许

你在浪费时间
思考着
思考着什么才是你最需要的
可是，这抉择到底什么时候才是尽头？

时日就这样飞过
我的绝望与日俱增
而你，你却还是这样回答
或许，或许，或许

既然你不肯承认你对我的爱
那么我又如何能够知道你是否爱我？
你只是告诉我
或许，或许，或许

千万次我这样问过你
反复追问
而你却只是回答
或许，或许，或许

如果你无法作出抉择
我们之间将永远无法开始
而我也不愿就这样
以分手和心碎结束

那么如果你真的爱我就肯定的回答我“是”
但是如果你并不爱我，亲爱的
也请你坦诚的回绝
而不要只是告诉我
或许，或许，或许

English translation of original Spanish lyrics:

“PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS”

I am always asking you
When, how and where
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

The days pass this way
And I am despairing
And you, you always answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

You are wasting time
Thinking, thinking
That which you want most
Until when? Until when?

The days pass this way
And I am despairing
And you, you always answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

You are wasting time
Thinking, thinking
That which you want most
Until when? Until when?

The days pass this way
And I am despairing
And you, you always answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps



Coupling里面的英文版的歌词是这样的：

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps


                     By Cake


You won't admit you love me.
And so how am I ever to know?
You only tell me
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.


A million times I ask you,
and then I ask you over again,
you only answer
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.


If you can't make your mind up,
we'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

(Solo Section)

If you can't make your mind up,

And I don't wanna wind up
being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,

But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps,
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps,
perhaps,
perhaps,

摘抄一段"the girl with one heart"那集中，Steve对于卫生间之于男人的重大意义所发表的重要演说：
We are men! Throughout history, we have always needed, in times of difficulty, to retreat to our caves. It so happens that in this modern age, our caves are fully plumbed. The toilet is, for us, the last bastion, the final refuge, the last few square feet of man-space left to us! Somewhere to sit, something to read, something to do, and who gives a damn about the smell? Because that, for us, is happiness. Because we are *men.* We are different. We have only one word for soap. We do not own candles. We have never seen anything of any value in a craft shop. We do not own magazines fill of pictures of celebrities with all their clothes *on*. When we have conversations, we actually take it in turns to talk! But we have not yet reached that level of earth-shattering boredom and inhuman despair that we would have a haircut *recreationally*. We don't know how to get excited about... really, *really* boring things, like ornaments, bath oil, the countryside, vases, small churches. I mean, we do not even know what, *what* in the name of God's *ass* is the purpose of pot-pourri! Looks like breakfast, smells like your auntie! Why do we need that? So please, in this strange and frightening world, allow us one last place to call our own. This toilet, this blessed pot, this... fortress of solitude. You girls, you may go to the bathroom in groups of two or more. Yet we do not pass comment. We do not make judgment. That is your choice. But we men will always walk the toilet mile... alone

A: I told you he was not your type
B: I am surprised he was ever yours, what do you see in him, he's so dull! I need personality verve humor. I see why you call him donkey brain.
A: Actually I call him donkey
B: yeah but I got your point
A: No you didn't
B: What you mean...
A: some men are born lucky. some men are born very lucky
B: what was Patrik born
A: a tripod
B: you let me dumped a tripod, you bitch!


英国人果然很尖刻
