Dakota Fanning & Jake Johnson on ADHD and Dating Apps | Mom’s Car

🎯 聽之前

Two actors ride along for a short, fast conversation about ordinary embarrassment and small fame. The lesson is how English talks about shame you have decided to keep, dating that feels like a game, and being just known enough.

• Which stories are about being young and unashamed, and which are about being looked at now?
• How do they compare a dating app to a casino?
• Where does a joke stop and a real preference start?
• Listen for "just famous enough" as a measurement, not a compliment.

💬 重點句 6

先讀英文，想一下意思，再點「翻譯」。按 🔊 聽一次，然後跟著唸。

1. Zero shame is a choice you make before anyone else votes.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   完全不害臊，是你在別人投票之前就先做的選擇。

   zero shame 把羞恥講成數量。before anyone else votes 是「不等別人同意」。
2. A dating app is a casino if you keep telling yourself the next one is the system.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   如果你一直告訴自己下一個人就是那個系統，交友軟體就是賭場。

   if 放在句中。the system 指你以為自己看穿的規則。
3. Just famous enough means the table, not the room.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   「剛好有名到」指的是那張桌子，不是整間餐廳。

   just + 形容詞 + enough。the table 是訂位，the room 是所有人都認得你。
4. A bad review from someone you love lands harder than a bad review from a stranger.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   愛你的人給的差評，比陌生人的差評更痛。

   lands 是「落下、打中」。harder than 比較痛的程度。
5. Letting a condition run wild is not the same as pretending you do not have it.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   讓一個狀況放風，跟假裝自己沒有它，不是同一件事。

   run wild 是放任。not the same as + 動名詞。
6. If you need someone else to confirm who is across the room, you are still a guest.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   如果還得找人確認對面那個人是誰，你仍然只是客人。

   confirm 是跟別人核對。across the room 是視線的另一端。

💭 用英文想一想

挑一題，用英文寫 3 到 5 句，或對著手機錄一分鐘。不用完美，說出來最重要。

• Describe one practical thing you do that other people treat as embarrassing. Give it zero shame in the sentence.
• When is an app a tool, and when is it a casino?
• Write three sentences using just famous enough, get a table, and across the room. One of them should be about someone who is not famous.
