恋爱迷宫第一季

　　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。

Coupling的四季我都看完了，哈其实是看了好几遍。觉得最出彩的地方在于它的台词很有意思；还有最喜欢的其实是Jeff,可惜第四季他没有出演。再有就是英式对白的幽默，看第一遍有时候不一定立刻就反应过来。。总之好看就是了。。

目前只追着看了第一，二季，第三季因为找不到源所以暂时搁置下来。对于看过不少悬疑，紧张，重口味美剧的我，这部BBC电视剧就像是一道饭后茶点，舒心可口，又不增加肠胃负担。

和这部剧里的三男三女比起来，美国“六人行”只算是小屁孩小打小闹。coupling的主角们都不是典型意义上的英国绅男淑女，他们谈起男女之事来，其态度之开朗坦荡，让美国同行只能望其项背，所以我说这道点心是芥末味道的。

该剧篇幅紧凑，每季笑料百出的同时还让观众有轮回的感觉。所谓“轮回”，窃以为就是那种圆环型的剧情结构，前后呼应都很完整。这颇考编剧功底，对有志于编剧工作的筒子们来说，该剧是一本不错的教科书。

先转载一点介绍性的文字吧，等整理一下思绪再填点个人观感，欢迎大家来讨论这部剧。

◆内容简介：
　　看多了美国喜剧的你，是不是想换一换口味呢？这里向大家推荐一部广受好评的英国情景喜剧——Coupling（“冤家成双对”是本人想的译名）。该剧于2000年5月在英国BBC2台播出了第一季6集，旋即获得了广泛的好评，并于2003年获得英国喜剧奖“最佳电视喜剧”的荣誉。去年该剧播出了最新的第四季。

    故事是围绕英国伦敦一群30岁左右男女的感情生活展开的。是不是似曾相识？因为Coupling的主要演员是3男3女共6个人，很多人会很容易的联想到NBC的经典情景喜剧Friends。但你如果就这样下结论：Coupling就是英国版Friends，那就大错特错了。套用德国TVtoday网站评论该剧的一句话，“Drei M?nner, drei Frauen, ein Thema: Sex”（三男，三女，一个主题：性）。和Coupling里面这帮英国损友相比，Friends里面那六位简直就是情窦初开的少男少女（没有贬低的意思，纯情不是坏事 ）。

　　Coupling的核心是史蒂夫（Steve）和苏珊（Susan）这一对情侣，另外4个主演或是他们的好友，或是他们的前任男女友。

    苏珊是个漂亮、自信的职业女性，她知道自己想要什么，并善于在恋爱关系中掌握主导地位。她的前男友帕特里克（Patrick）尽管也是个情场高手，可在第一集里就被她甩了。她最好的朋友萨利（Sally）则是个美容师，因担心衰老而惶惶不可终日，整天和各种化妆品打交道。

   史蒂夫是苏珊现在的男朋友，一个假正经的帅哥，喜欢发长篇大论。他的前任女友简（Jane）是个厉害的性感尤物，而且有点疯疯癫癫的，用演员的话说，这就使她成了“所有男人最可怕的噩梦”。

最搞笑的人物杰夫（Jeff）是史蒂夫的好朋友，编剧说他是个“困在男人身体里的青春期男生”。他一方面非常喜欢给朋友们提供恋爱和性爱方面的建议，另一方面却一见女人就紧张得手足无措。

　　作为喜剧，Coupling的优秀之处不仅在于它滑稽的对白和演员略带夸张地表演，最令人叫绝的，是它对镜头还有不同人物视角的独特运用，可以说，这创造了一种特殊的幽默。

previous background: Sally and Patrick are good freinds, but with their friendship developing, each of them, especially Sally, has realised the love between them. Then once Sally said "I love Patrick" incidentally and unconsciously. Then this night, Patrick send Sally a text message, asked her to go for a bar. When Sally entered, found the bar be "Private Function".

前提期要：S和P是一对好朋友，随着他们的日常交往，两个人渐渐互生情愫，尤其是 S，甚至在一次Party上不自觉的说出“我爱P”。但是鉴于P是个“从来只有下半身才会充血”的人，他很久之后才意识到。于是那天晚上P给S发了一条短信约她到平常他们去的Bar里。S很开心的去了，还发现整个Bar都被P包下来了哈。

于是俺们的主角告白开始了：

前面一段我觉得太搞笑了，都是P赞扬S的一段话，什么我希望你是我妈妈，哦，不，奶奶之类的，没记台词。从一半开始：

P: Sally, you're the most wonderful woman, in the history of entire universe.

    Since you have said what you said, I have a lot of time to think.

    But obviously that isn't always possible.(就像我前面说的，P从来只好下半身充血。。。他自己也知道。。。)

    Nonetheless, I have been able to consider your application.

   And this is the point, the very important point.

   Sally, you need someone good enough for you. You don't want some mutton-headed city boy who spend all his time thinking about his cars and his golf clubs.

  You want someone who can love you the way you deserved to be loved. （看到这儿的时候俺开始飚眼泪了。。。。）

    Sally, you need someone who will love you forever, properly.

    You're my friend, Sally, and I want to see you with the best. （继续抹眼泪，我可怜的Sally啊，Partrick还是觉得做朋友更好吗？）

    You need Mr. Amazing, Mr Incredibley Superbly, Fantastickness, and in your heart, I'm sure you know I am right.

   于是，于是我们可怜的Sally也哽咽了，哭着说：

Sally: I don't want Mr. Amazing, Mr Incredibley Superbly, Fantastickness,

        You Stupid Stupid ASS!

        I want YOU!

Partrick这个时候无奈说：for god sake, sally.

Sally：WHAT?!WHAT?!

P:I was talking about ME!!

于是我就破涕为笑了。。。。。

这一大段是对coupling片尾曲的最好解释：

if you love me, say yes, but if you dont, confess, please don't say 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
