[1)groans] Why did I let your dad 2)talk me into drinking that blue thing?

Carol:

You don’t hold your liquor well, do you, babe?

Jack:

Is this what a 3)hangover feels like? It feels like my head’s about to explode.

Here, have a hair of the dog that bit you….

Jack:

[drinks] How’s your Dad? I seem to remember him dancing on the table last night.

Carol:

Dad had a Bloody Mary for breakfast and now he’s right as rain, ha-ha.

Jack:

Wow. I actually feel a little better myself. Which way to the ceremony?

傑克:

〔(呻吟〕)為什麼我居然我幹嘛讓你爸說服我喝那個藍色的東西?

卡蘿:

你酒量並不好不是嗎,對不對,寶貝?

傑克:

宿醉就是這樣嗎?我覺得我的頭要爆炸了。

卡蘿:

來吧,來喝下這一杯酒解宿醉酒……。

傑克:

〔(喝)〕妳爸還好嗎?我好像記得他昨晚在桌上跳舞。

卡蘿:

老爸早餐喝了一杯血腥瑪莉,然後現在他活跳跳完全正常,哈哈。

傑克:

哇!我真的現在覺得比較好了。去參加儀式要怎麼走?

 
好用句

a hair of the dog that bit you 解宿醉的酒

這句話源自有一種傳說若是是如果被狗咬傷的話,就只要將那隻狗的毛放在傷口上便會痊癒的傳說。現在則引申為早上醒來前一晚喝的醉醺醺的之後宿醉,只要再喝一杯酒,隔天喝的一種解宿醉的就可以解酒。

A: Want a hair of the dog that bit you? 
要來一杯酒解宿醉的酒嗎?

B: No thanks. Coffee and an aspirin works better for me. 
不了,謝謝。咖啡和阿斯匹靈對我來說比較有用。
