這場戲：發片前夜被叮囑抓住機會
第 9 章 · 共 13 章 · 3'30"
艾莉發片在即，朋友們擠進房間道喜，樓下全是等她的人，她還拿到了《週六夜現場》的邀請。熱鬧之後，傑克遜把她單獨叫到外面，叮囑她要做長久的音樂就得 have legs（站得住），臨了一句 So, you gotta grab it（所以你得抓住）。想在被人推上機會時說點真心的，這段話值得逐句聽。
自我懷疑時，look like a star（像個明星）這句最管用
who the hell 到底、究竟put out a whole record 發行一整張唱片look like a star 像個明星
❝ 獨白 · 9 句 上臺前的臨別訓話
連用排比和短句，把真話、聽眾和時機一層層壓到她心上。
艾莉剛發片，朋友們衝進房間道喜，樓下全是等她的人，經紀還帶來了上《週六夜現場》的好訊息。等大家下樓，傑克遜把她單獨叫到外面，先嫌廣告牌沒拍出她的樣子，一句 It doesn't do you any justice（那照片襯不出你的好），接著認真叮囑：想做長久就得 have legs（站得住），機會來了就要 grab it（抓住）。這裡能學到 do someone justice（襯不出好的一面）、have legs（站得住）、grab it（抓住機會）三個說法，聊機會和真誠時都能用上。
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。
“I don't know who the hell I think I am.”
我都不知道自己算老幾。
把自我懷疑說得又衝又準，the hell 讓整句全是自嘲的火氣。
I don't know who the hell I ...
自嘲心虛、怕撐不住場面時用；對領導或面試官說會顯得沒底氣。
I don't know who I think I'm fooling. ／ I don't know what gave me the idea I could do this.
口語
who the hell 重讀，think I am 連讀收尾。
I don't know who the hell I think I am, standing up here. 我站在這兒，都覺得自己不知道自己算老幾。
“You don't tell the truth out there, you're fucked.”
在臺上你不講真話，你就完了。
把創作的底線壓成一句狠話，前後兩個短句像巴掌一樣。
You don't ..., you're ...
給朋友下狠話、點出關鍵時用；對客戶或長輩說太重，換個說法。
If you hide the truth, you're finished. ／ Lie out there and you're done.
口語
don't tell the truth 連讀，fucked 重讀落地。
You don't say what you mean, you lose them for good. 你要是不說真心話，就徹底失去他們了。
“All you got is you, and what you wanna say to people, and they are listening right now, and they're not gonna be listening forever.”
你只剩下你自己，和你想對人們說的話；他們此刻在聽，但不會永遠聽下去。
用一串 and 把孤獨、表達和時機串成一條線，最後一句逼人珍惜。
All you got is ..., and they're not gonna be ... forever.
鼓勵別人珍惜機會、說真心話時用；寫成報告要拆句，別照搬。
All you have is your voice and the people listening now. ／ They won't be listening forever.
口語
All you got is you 重讀，not gonna be 連讀，forever 放慢。
All you got is the room right now, and they're not gonna be waiting forever. 你有的就是眼前這群人，他們不會一直等下去。
“I don't know about all of that, but you definitely look like a star.”
那些我說不好，不過你確實像個明星。
先不評判她的自我懷疑，只把最直白的肯定遞過去，安慰反而更有力。
I don't know about all of that, but you definitely look like a X.
對方鑽牛角尖、你想給一句實在的肯定時用；空泛場合套用會顯得敷衍，要具體才真誠。
I can't speak to that, but you clearly belong here. ／ Whatever you think, you look the part.
中性
I don't know 輕讀，but you definitely 加重，look like a star 放慢。
I don't know about all of that, but you definitely look like a manager. 那些我說不好，不過你確實像個經理的樣子。
Listen, if I just don't say this, I'll never forgive myself. What? If you don't dig deep in your fucking soul, you won't have legs. I'm just telling you that. You don't tell the truth out there, you're fucked. All you got is you, and what you wanna say to people, and they are listening right now, and they're not gonna be listening forever. Trust me. So, you gotta grab it. And you don't apologize, you don't worry about why they're listening, or how long they're gonna be listening for, you just tell 'em what you wanna say.
聽著，這話我要是不說，我這輩子都不會原諒自己。 什麼？ 你要是不往自己靈魂深處他媽的挖，你就站不住腳。 我就跟你說這個。 你在臺上不說真話，你就完了。 你只有你自己，還有你想對大家說的話，他們現在在聽，但不會永遠聽下去。 相信我。 所以，你得抓住。 別道歉，別去管他們為什麼聽、還會聽多久，你只管把你想說的告訴他們。
下一章 · 10put someone down貶低別人這場戲：喝醉翻臉趕人出門不是。這裡指能長久、站得住腳，比如一個點子、一段事業有生命力，就說 it has legs。
口語裡常說 grab it，簡單有力。機會就在眼前時，可以說 So, you gotta grab it。
加強疑問語氣，相當於中文的「到底、究竟」，比如 who the hell is that（那到底是誰）。
指沒能展現某人真實的好，常用在照片、報道上。It doesn't do you justice 就是「這張沒拍出你的好」。
接名詞或動名詞，如 get used to the noise（習慣噪音）、get used to working late（習慣加班），to 是介詞。
