這場戲：借錢換來一份家教
第 13 章 · 共 25 章 · 4'04"
莫札特跑來找薩列里借錢，張口就是 I am working on something that will explode like a bomb all over Europe（我在寫一部會炸遍全歐洲的作品），說還錢 I'll pay you back double（加倍還你）。薩列里一邊把兩百弗羅林砍到五十，一邊勸他別成了 a debtor（欠債者）。想學怎麼吹噓、砍價、勸人，這幾句很有意思。
他說作品會 explode like a bomb（像炸彈一樣炸開）
explode like a bomb 像炸彈一樣炸開pay you back double 加倍奉還name the terms 開條件、定條款
他勸莫札特別成了 as a debtor（欠債者）
as a debtor 作為欠債者working on 在做、在忙某事Two hundred florins 兩百弗羅林
莫札特急需用錢，來找薩列里幫忙。他誇口 I am working on something that will explode like a bomb all over Europe（我在寫一部會炸遍全歐洲的作品），說 I'll be the richest man in Vienna（我會成為維也納最有錢的人），I'll pay you back double（加倍還你），甚至 You name the terms（條件你開）。可一問細節，就只剩 It's a bit of a secret（這是個秘密）。薩列里慢條斯理，把兩百弗羅林砍到一百、五十，還提醒他別在維也納成了 a debtor（欠債者）。之後他提起一位要請老師的先生，莫札特去了那戶人家，女孩怎麼都不肯彈，最後只能自己坐下來彈，反被要求 Keep playing（繼續彈）。想學怎麼借錢、吹牛、砍價，這段很鮮活。

“I am working on something that will explode like a bomb all over Europe.”
我正在寫一部作品，它會像炸彈一樣炸遍全歐洲。
用炸彈比喻作品的轟動，自信得近乎天真。
something that will explode like a bomb
誇大某事的傳播力或衝擊力時用；口語裡很生動。
something that will take Europe by storm ／ something that will blow up everywhere
口語
like a bomb 連讀，Europe 重音在前。
I have a launch that will explode like a bomb. 我有個釋出會會像炸彈一樣炸開。
“I'll be the richest man in Vienna. I'll pay you back double. Anything.”
我會成為維也納最有錢的人。我加倍還你。多少都行。
連甩三個承諾，越說越大，把走投無路的急切演活了。
I'll pay you back double. Anything.
借錢或求人時拍胸脯保證用；語氣急切，但也顯得不牢靠。
I'll pay you back twice over. ／ Name your price and I'll meet it.
口語
richest man 連讀，double 重讀。
Lend me the money; I'll pay you back double. 把錢借我，我加倍還你。
“You expect your fortunes to change in six or eight months?”
你指望六到八個月裡運勢就翻過來？
用 fortunes 一詞把「翻身」說得體面，反問裡全是懷疑。
You expect your fortunes to change?
懷疑對方計劃不切實際時用；語氣冷靜，帶一點諷刺。
You think things will turn around that fast? ／ Do you really expect it to work?
正式
fortunes to 連讀，change 重讀。
You expect your fortunes to change in one quarter? 你指望一個季度就翻身？
“Forgive me. We all have patriotic feelings of some kind.”
抱歉。我們誰都有點愛國情懷。
把偏見說成「愛國情懷」，一句自嘲就把全體都點了。
We all have (something) of some kind.
自嘲或泛泛地解釋人性共通處時用；語氣輕鬆。
We all have our little habits. ／ Everyone has opinions of some kind.
口語
patriotic feelings 連讀，some kind 收得輕。
We all have loyalties of some kind. 我們誰都有各自的忠誠。
“I don't think you should become known in Vienna as a debtor,Mozart.”
我不覺得你該在維也納落個欠債不還的名聲，莫札特。
用「名聲」當藉口拒絕借錢，把冷酷說成關心。
become known as a (label)
提醒對方別落下某種壞名聲時用；可真心也可藉口。
You don't want to be known as a debtor. ／ Don't get a reputation as a freeloader.
正式
known in 連讀，debtor 重音在前。
He doesn't want to become known as a complainer. 他不想落下愛抱怨的名聲。
下一章 · 14stuffs me like a goose把我像鵝一樣填這場戲：父親上門挑刺字面是「像炸彈一樣炸開」。臺詞裡說作品 will explode like a bomb all over Europe，就是「會炸遍全歐洲」，形容作品會引發巨大轟動。
意思是「開條件、定條款」。臺詞裡 You name the terms 就是「條件你開」，讓步對方自己提條件，常見於借錢、談合同。
as a debtor。臺詞裡 become known in Vienna as a debtor 就是「在維也納落個欠債不還的名聲」，debtor 就是欠債的人。
意思是「愛國情懷」。臺詞裡 We all have patriotic feelings of some kind 是「我們誰都有點愛國情懷」，常用來半開玩笑地解釋自己的偏愛。
a bit of a secret。臺詞裡 It's a bit of a secret 就是「這算是個秘密」，a bit of a 用來把話說得不那麼絕對。
意思是「在做、在忙某事」。臺詞裡 What exactly are you working on? 就是「你到底在寫什麼？」，work on 後面接正在做的專案或作品。
