The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn the Agrabah bazaar, Aladdin and his monkey Abu lift a necklace; the merchant will not touch stolen goods and offers one bag of dates. Nearby, Jasmine—disguised as a commoner—gives bread to hungry children, and the baker's brother grabs her bracelet. Aladdin swaps the jewelry, tosses an apple as hush money, and pulls her over rooftops while guards shout street rat. He sings as he runs: stay one jump ahead of the bread line and the sword. The chase is his job description.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Whatever it is you stole today, I don't want it.”
不管你今天偷的是什么,我都不要。
先用 whatever 一刀切断来路,再把货推回去,拒绝得干净。
Whatever it is, I don't want it.
不想接手来路不明的东西、人情或任务时。
I don't want whatever you brought. / Keep it. I'm not touching that.
informal
Whatever 拉长,don't want 往下砸。
“-Are we in trouble? -Only if you get caught.”
-我们有麻烦了?-被抓住才算。
把麻烦改写成被抓,一句把风险讲成游戏规则。
Only if you get caught.
别人慌、你要把后果缩成一个条件时。
Not unless they notice. / We're fine if nobody sees.
informal
trouble 上扬,Only if 轻快落下。
“Gotta keep one jump Ahead of the bread line”
得总比领救济的队伍快一步
one jump ahead 把逃跑写成职业,bread line 点出挨饿。
keep one jump ahead of something
讲自己得抢先、不能落到最惨那一档时。
Stay one step ahead. / Keep ahead of the queue.
informal
Gotta 糊过去,jump、Ahead 两点加重。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageGotta keep one jump Ahead of the bread line One swing Ahead of the sword I steal Only what I can't afford And that's ev'rything One jump Ahead of the lawmen That's all And that's no joke These guys Don't appreciate I'm broke
得总比领救济的队伍快一步 比刀剑快上一挥 我只偷买不起的东西 那可就是全部 比捕快快一步 就这样 而且绝不是开玩笑 这些人根本不体谅我没钱
