這五本Shopaholic有聲書程度皆為初級。聽Shopaholic有聲書總時數接近65個小時,我真的不敢相信。要寫心得時才驚覺:「唉,其實就是這樣也沒什麼好寫得。」Shopaholic是速食類的小說,絕對不是用來增長智慧。但還是可以從中學習英式用語、時尚品牌、倫敦區域好壞(西倫敦vs.東倫敦)、百貨商圈、英美結婚儀式差異……。
非常非常girly也非常非常重複的五本書,作者在形容事物心境時的用語極為反覆。像極了哈姆太郎的轉圈圈遊戲一樣。但是,就是因為千千萬萬遍的重複寫作風格,已經被內化到我知道Becky又要說什麼了。Becky Bloomwood真的是不折不扣的Drama Queen,整理了一下Becky的口頭禪,可以看出她以誇張語氣說哪些話。
- OK. DON’T PANIC.
- "I WANT IT"
- RARE. JUST BUT IT!
- Never need new clothes.
- Blimey!
- I can't breathe, I can't move! (這句話聽到我都快抓狂了!!這麼愛演哪有那麼誇張嗎)
- I can't believe it's not real.
- This is the best day in my entire life!
- playing for time (拖拉)
- it's time to tell the truth (愛說謊)
- everything was so perfect (有時候真的很想對Becky說句:活該搞砸了吧)
- I ruined everything.
- Everything’s going to be fine. (繼續騙自己)
- Fab! (=fabulous, 在Being Erica裡Julianne愛用faboo)
為了減省時間,隨便舉兩個詞(好想快快逃脫shopaholic的世界)
- table-hop:周旋於餐桌間(與人交談),舉一反三,想去斐濟跳島之旅可以用island-hopping。
- prenuptial contract:prenuptial agreement 婚前協議書
PS 這65小時教了 我一件事情,不要狼吞虎嚥地吞下同一作者的書。尤其是這些已經沒內容的書籍。
