  1. 简单点 说话的方式简单点

    Keep it simple, just speak in a simple way.

  2. 递进的情绪请省略

    Skip the gradual emotions, please.

  3. 你又不是个演员

    You're not some kind of actor.

  4. 别设计那些情节

    Don't craft those plots.

  5. 没意见 我只想看看你怎么圆

    I have no opinions, I just want to see how you wrap it up.

  6. 你难过的太表面 像没天赋的演员

    You're too surface-level sad, like a talentless actor.

  7. 观众一眼能看见

    The audience can see right through.

  8. 该配合你演出的我 演视而不见

    What I'm supposed to play with you, I act as if I'm blind to it.

  1. 在逼一个最爱你的人 即兴表演

    Forcing the one who loves you most to perform improvisation.

  2. 什么时候我们开始 收起了底线

    When did we start to hide our boundaries?

  3. 顺应时代的改变 看那些拙劣的表演

    Adapting to the changing times, look at those clumsy performances.

  4. 可你曾经那么爱我 干嘛演出细节

    But you once loved me so deeply, why act out the details?

  5. 我该变成什么样子 才能延缓厌倦

    What kind of person should I become to delay this weariness?

  6. 原来当爱放下防备后的这些那些

    It turns out that when love puts down its defenses, these and those are the real tests.

  7. 才是考验

    This is the trial.

  8. 没意见 你想怎样我都随便

    No objections, you can do whatever you want.

  9. 你演技也有限 又不用说感言

    Your acting skills are limited, no need for a speech.

  10. 分开就平淡些

    Separating is just a bit bland.

  11. 该配合你演出的我 演视而不见

    For the role I should play with you, I’ll pretend not to see.

  12. 别逼一个最爱你的人 即兴表演

    Don't force the one who loves you most to improvise.

  13. 什么时候我们开始 没有了底线

    When did we start to lose our boundaries?

  14. 顺著别人的谎言 被动就不显得可怜

    Following others' lies, being passive doesn't seem so sad.

  15. 可你曾经那么爱我 干嘛演出细节

    But you once loved me so deeply, why act out the details?

  16. 我该变成什么样子 才能配合出演

    What kind of person should I become to fit the part?

  17. 原来当爱放下防备后的这些那些

    It turns out that when love lowers its guard, all these moments

  18. 都有个期限

    Have an expiration date.

  19. 其实台下的观众就我一个

    Actually, I’m the only audience member in this scene.

  20. 其实我也看出你有点不舍

    I can see that you’re a bit reluctant as well.

  21. 场景也习惯我们来回拉扯

    The scenery has gotten used to our back-and-forth struggle.

  22. 还计较著什么

    Still worrying about what?

  23. 其实说分不开的也不见得

    In truth, saying we can't part doesn’t mean it's the case.

  24. 其实感情最怕的就是拖著

    What love fears most is dragging on endlessly.

  25. 越演到重场戏越哭不出了

    The more we reach the climax, the more tears I can't shed.

  26. 是否还值得

    Is it still worth it?

  27. 该配合你演出的我 尽力在表演

    In my role to match your act, I give my all in this performance.

  28. 像情感节目里的嘉宾 任人挑选

    Like a guest on a dating show, chosen at will.

  29. 如果还能看出我有爱你的那面

    If you can still see the love I have for you,

  30. 请剪掉那些情节 让我看上去体面

    Please cut out those scenes, make me seem dignified.

  31. 可你曾经那么爱我 干嘛演出细节

    But you once loved me so much, why showcase the details?

  32. 不在意的样子是我最后的表演

    The disinterested facade is my final act.

  33. 是因为爱你我才选择表演 这种成全

    It's because I love you that I choose to perform, this kind of fulfillment.
