這場戲：棺材塞不進墓穴
第 7 章 · 共 10 章 · 4'53"
夜店人多氣氛爆，卻全靠搖頭丸撐著，賺不到錢，錢都進了毒販口袋，暴力槍支也來了。有人感嘆，毒販 Drug dealers are like any other businessmen（跟別的生意人沒兩樣），都想擴大市場份額。等到參加漢尼特的葬禮，一句 We're all equal in the grave（進了墳墓人人平等）把一切看輕了。聊生意、毒品和生死，這段夠用。
「市場份額」英語說 market share

❝ 獨白 · 9 句 一個父親的自白
把虧欠、遺憾和自我定位一口氣說完，平靜裡全是悔意。
哈仙達夜店天天爆滿，卻因為客人全靠搖頭丸助興、吧檯賣不動酒，總不賺錢，錢都流進了毒販的口袋。毒販就像別的生意人，Drug dealers are like any other businessmen（跟別的生意人沒兩樣），只想擴大自己的 market share（市場份額），供應商之間也不壓價，而是直接 get rid of the competition（除掉競爭對手）。暴力蔓延到夜店，最後只能讓毒販穿上制服看門。後來托尼去參加馬丁·漢尼特的葬禮，路上說起自己不是好父親，還念起「放縱之路通往智慧之宮」；看著棺材塞不進墓穴，他感嘆 Death puts things in perspective（死亡讓人看清輕重），We're all equal in the grave（進了墳墓人人平等）。這些說法聊生意、聊生死都能用。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“Drug dealers are like any other businessmen.”
毒販和別的生意人沒什麼兩樣。
一句冷冰冰的類比，把犯罪說成市場行為，越平靜越瘮人。
X are like any other Y.
諷刺某行當其實一樣勢利時用；對受害者家屬說會非常刺耳。
They are businessmen first, criminals second. ／ It is just business with worse hours.
中性
like any other 連讀，businessmen 重音在首音節。
Consultants are like any other salesmen, just better dressed. 諮詢顧問和別的銷售沒兩樣，只是穿得體面些。
“I'm a minor character in my own story.”
我在自己的故事裡只是個配角。
把自嘲推到哲學高度，一句就承認自己沒活成主角。
a minor character in one's own story
自謙或感慨自己不重要時用；在需要鼓舞人的場合說會掃興。
I am a footnote in my own story. ／ I barely have a cameo in my own life.
literary
minor 輕讀，in my own story 放慢收尾。
At every party I feel like a minor character in my own story. 每場聚會上，我都覺得自己故事裡的配角。
“We're all equal in the grave.”
在墳墓裡，人人平等。
一句老生常談，用在這裡卻給整段暴力按下了暫停鍵。
We're all equal in the grave.
談生死、勸人看開時用；在喪親者面前說會顯得輕率。
Death does not care who you were. ／ The grave levels everyone.
literary
equal 重讀，in the grave 壓低收尾。
We are all equal in the grave, so why fight over a seat? 在墳墓里人人平等，那還爭什麼座位。
“So huge, his coffin wouldn't fit in his grave.”
他太巨大了，棺材都塞不進墓穴。
用一場葬禮事故收尾，把悲傷擰成黑色幽默。
So X, his Y wouldn't fit.
熟人葬禮後私下回憶時用；當著家屬的面說會冒犯人。
He was so big the coffin would not go down. ／ Even the ground could not take him.
口語
So huge 停頓一下，wouldn't fit 重讀。
He was so tall his coffin would not fit in the lift. 他太高了，棺材都進不了電梯。
I should have found time to tell you earlier,... ..I did have children with my second wife, Hilary,... ..and there was a time when I was with Lindsay when that was all I wanted... ..and, no, I've not been the best father in the world,... ..yes, I could have been there more than I have,... ..and obviously I've got regrets. But this is not a film about me. I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be. I'm a minor character in my own story.
我本該早點抽空告訴你， 我跟第二任妻子希拉里確實有孩子， 跟琳賽在一起那陣子，我最想要的就是這個， 是的，我不是世界上最好的父親， 沒錯，我本可以多陪陪你們， 顯然，我有很多遺憾。 但這不是一部關於我的電影。 我不是哈姆雷特王子，也從來不是。 在我自己的故事裡，我只是個小角色。
下一章 · 08back down讓步這場戲：五十鎊買回被扣母帶就是「市場份額」，指一家公司在整個市場裡佔的銷量或營收比例。戲裡說毒販也像生意人，總想擴大自己的市場份額，意思是他們也想多佔一塊地盤。
說 turn someone away。戲裡說，知道對方身上帶著槍，就很難把人攔在門外，用的就是 turn them away，指不讓某人進場、把人打發走。
就是「被查封、被勒令停業」。戲裡說，俱樂部裡毒品和槍支一多，遲早 get shut down，所以必須想辦法管住門口。
指「讓人看清事情的輕重」，把小事和大事擺在一起對比。戲裡說 Death puts things in perspective，就是面對死亡，很多糾結一下就變得不重要了。
多半是自責。戲裡他說 I've not been the best father in the world，字面是「我不是世上最好的父親」，其實是在承認自己陪孩子太少、有很多遺憾。
英式口語裡指「耍人、故意逗你」，比如 You're on a wind-up 就是「你在逗我玩吧」。戲裡門衛被人糾纏時就這麼回了一句。
