English term or phrase: in one scene

It's hard not to laugh at Thornton's phobias. A 48-year-old guy who's afraid of antique furniture is really off his rocker — assuming it's an old rocker.

"I don't know if it's a past-life thing, but I felt like some beheaded king," said Thornton, who went into shock after checking into a five-star hotel in London, when his ex-wife Angelina Jolie was filming Laura Croft: Tomb Raider.

"Maybe it's a past-life thing and I got beat to death with some old chair," Thornton later told Oprah Winfrey. "I don't really know. But anyway … I'm totally serious. And I can't eat around antiques."

Still, Thornton, an Oscar-winning screenwriter and A-list actor, is thriving in Hollywood despite his idiosyncrasies.

Halle Berry, who won a best actress Oscar staring opposite Thornton in Monster's Ball, says he was only able to eat in one scene if he used a brand new plastic fork, right out of the box.
试译：
你想不笑话桑顿的恐惧症都很难。这个48岁的老男人竟然害怕老古家具，确实是疯得不可理喻。
“我不晓得这与往事有没有关系，可我就是觉得，古董家具像某个被砍掉脑袋的国王，”桑顿说。有回前妻安吉丽娜·朱莉在伦敦拍摄《劳拉·克劳福特：古墓丽影》，前去探班的桑顿入住一家五星级酒店时，看到古色古色的摆设后，大惊失色。
桑顿后来对著名脱口秀主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞说：“大概是小时候的事吧，一把旧椅子差点要了我的小命。我具体不知道是咱回事。但不管怎样……我完全是说真的。如果置身于古董当中，我就吃不下饭。”
不过，尽管有着怪癖，桑顿在好莱坞可是很吃香，事业蒸蒸日上，谁让人家是获得过奥斯卡奖的电影编剧兼一流演员呢。
哈莉·贝里曾凭借在《怪物舞会》中饰演桑顿的对手而获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。她说，如果他用的是一把直接从盒子里拿出来的簇新的塑料刀叉，只能站在一个地方吃饭（？？？）。

只有在一种情况下才能吃得下饭

Explanation:

联系上下文，我理解这里是说他只有在一种情况下才能吃得下饭：使用刚刚从盒子里拿出来的崭新的塑料叉子。这样理解从语句上有些勉强，但从逻辑上讲比较合理。因为前面桑顿自己说，挨着古董吃不下饭。那么，“崭新的塑料叉子”是古董的对立物，只有用崭新的塑料叉子才能吃下饭，也就顺理成章了。
