The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAt Mac Bledsoe's funeral, the pastor calls him a dedicated husband, a loving father, a good American and a good Christian. Then the film cuts back: young Frank is forbidden to see the Lassiter boy. Mac threatens to kill them both, calls it perversion, and promises the lake of fire. The congregation returns to the Lord's Prayer. The eulogy and the old threat occupy the same pew.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“You're gambling with your very soul, son.”
儿子,你这是在拿自己的灵魂去赌。
把「拿灵魂去赌」说成正在发生的罪,宗教威胁压进口语。
gamble with one's soul
警告别人拿最珍贵的东西冒险时用,语气很重。
You're risking everything / You're playing with fire
literary
gambling 拉长,very soul 两处都加重。
“I don't want you seeing that Lassiter boy again.”
我不许你再跟拉西特家那个男孩来往。
禁令短而硬,seeing 用进行体,把来往说成必须立刻停。
not want someone seeing X
禁止某人继续和某人或某事来往时用。
I don't want you hanging around him / Stay away from that boy
informal
don't want 连读,again 加重。
“God hisself will turn his back on you.”
上帝自己都会对你掉头不管。
hisself 是方言,turn his back on 把上帝说成会翻脸的人。
turn one's back on someone
说某人被抛弃、不再被理会时用,可宗教可世俗。
God will abandon you / He washed his hands of you
informal
hisself 按方言咬,back 加重后收住。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageMac Bledsoe was the kind of man you don't see much anymore. Dedicated husband. Loving father. Good American. Good Christian. A man for whom doing the right thing, it wasn't a choice. It was his duty. It was his duty to teach his children the difference between right and wrong. And now it's our duty. It's our duty to walk... in the same path of righteousness as Mac.
麦克·布莱索是那种人 现在已经很少见了。 尽职的丈夫。 慈爱的父亲。 好美国人。好基督徒。 对他来说,做正确的事, 根本不是选择题。 那是他的本分。 他的本分就是教自己的孩子 什么是对、什么是错。 而现在,这成了我们的本分。 我们的本分是走…… 走麦克走过的那条义路。
I don't want you seeing that Lassiter boy again. If I find out you are, I'll kill you both. You're gambling with your very soul, son. Opening yourself up to that sickness. You want to be a queer, hm? A faggot? It's perversion. God hisself will turn his back on you. Cast you into the lake of fire.
我不许你再跟拉西特家那个男孩来往。 要是让我发现你还在来往,我就把你们俩都杀了。 儿子,你这是在拿自己的灵魂去赌。 把自己敞开口子,去染上那种病。 你想当个基佬,嗯? 一个死基佬? 这是变态。 上帝自己都会对你掉头不管。 把你丢进火湖里。
