Amazing Spiderman 里蜘蛛侠不再是憨憨的Tobey mcquire 了。换的新人Andrew
Garfield 的蜘蛛侠罪大的特点就是更teenager了。大概为此才换的人。蜘蛛侠跟别的
super hero比最大的特点大概就是青春。anyway, 看下面的这段对话。
Harry osborn 的爸爸死了。蜘蛛侠去看望旧朋友。多年不见,一开场很生疏。
Harry Osborn: Peter Parker. It's like seeing a ghost.
Peter Parker: Hey, Harry.
Harry Osborn: Random. What, ten years?
Peter Parker: It's eight. But you're close.
Harry Osborn: What's up?
Peter Parker: I saw the news, man. I heard about your dad and I wanted to
come and... Just wanted to come and see you. Check to see how you were doing.
Harry Osborn: I'm with some people. I'm in a... I'm in a meeting.
Peter Parker: Sorry, I don't wanna intrude. I know it's been a long time. I
kind of know exactly what you're going through right now. And you were so
there for me when my parents... Well, that's why I'm here for you.
Harry Osborn: Thank you.
Peter Parker: It's good to see you, man. It's good to see you. I'm sorry
about your dad.
[turns to leave]
客套一番,蜘蛛侠转身要走。旧友成了客气的相识。有点失落。将走之际,是美国青少
年之间的“打桑骂槐”打破了两人的生疏。
Harry Osborn: You got your braces off.
[Peter turns back to him again]
Harry Osborn: Now there's nothing to distract from your unibrow.
[they start to laugh]
Peter Parker: There he is. There he is! You still blow-dry your hair every
morning?
Harry Osborn: Well, you know, one of my manservants holds the hair dryer.
But I work the comb, okay? So at least I'm not completely helpless.
Peter Parker: You're stupid.
[they hug]
这种banter,作为一代移民的我永远不懂。也是这种banter,让很多如我的一代移民在
同事间的small talk里找不到东南西北。移植会导致文化shock。有的人趁植株年轻,
适应改造的快些。我是少年老成的老骨头,现在更是一把年纪,让我学说whatsup dude
我也做不到不不伦不类了。该咋地咋地吧。稳重厚实也是性格,离本我也不远。我own
it 了。
话说前两天带儿子在杂货店买菜。一高中生模样的男生过来打招呼。自我介绍说是儿子
暑假夏令营的辅导员。奥,你好。你好。客套一番。少年老成,很大方,很
professional. 然后他转身跟我儿子说话。tada,语速转慢一倍。慢是cool,是chill,
是lingo。两人banter了几句。恍然间,少年人的交流你老家伙永远不懂。
哈哈。至少娃懂。娃每天一出家门,接人待物之间有自己的姿态,规则,和风格。老爸
我只是个背景。我们长大时和睡在上铺的兄弟之间的banter,又有多少和我们的父辈相
关。身为老家伙的我们能做到的就是给娃的不同层面的lingo背后塑造一个快乐自信阳
光的自我。lingo我不会,倔强的本我,咱懂!
