[請益] fluff 的意思

作者: norge (Boston)   2023-10-12 09:33:44
有個對話情境是一對離婚的人在吵架,
丈夫想在一個聚會場合介紹新伴侶,
妻子暴怒。
Ben: I've been seeing someone. Her name's Veronica.
I wanted to prepare everyone for the idea. To avoid any dramas.
Sam: So you're emotionally fluffing us? That's so typical of you.
Your ego is so inflated. You have to make a major event
out of everything!
請問 fluff 在對話中的意思要怎麼理解比較好呢?
根據字典,fluff 有以下的意思 https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/fluff
1 informal to make a mistake or do something badly
2 to make something soft become larger by shaking it
3 if a bird fluffs its feathers, it raises them and makes itself look bigger
謝謝!

你都列出來所有可能的動詞解釋了,最有可能的就是第一項。原句換成「... to emotionally mess us up ...」就沒事了,可翻譯為「所以你現在是在搞我心態嗎?」

Hint: emotional fluffer -> ... to prepare everyone ffor __the idea__ (原本的用法是指他們的gfs/bfs(...fortheir bf/gf)。但是一樣的「過程」,這也是Sam強調的重點
