這場戲：簡報會上放仇恨錄影
第 2 章 · 共 17 章 · 3'43"
會上有人翻出德里克的檔案，說想給他 pin something on someone（栽贓定罪）一直沒成，接著放出一盤他父親遇害後的採訪錄影。鏡頭裡他一句 They come here to exploit it, not to embrace it.（他們來這是榨取，不是擁抱）把仇恨講得理直氣壯。想聽懂極端言論裡的英語，這盤帶子是樣本。
想「把罪名安到某人頭上」：pin something to him，卻始終不成
have a look-see 瞧一瞧have a record 有前科pin something to him 把罪名安到他頭上a slew of 一大批
❝ 獨白 · 6 句 Every problem in this country is race-related 是「這個國家的每個問題都跟種族有關」

❝ 獨白 · 4 句 對父親之死的怒吼
把喪父之痛扭曲成仇恨，短句咬得很緊，聽得人發冷。
一間會議室裡，有人向在座的人介紹德里克·溫亞德：他不只是光頭黨，更是卡梅隆·亞歷山大的門徒，專門煽動年輕人。有人一直想給他 pin something on someone，也就是「栽贓定罪」，卻找不到把柄。隨後放一盤 NBC 提供的錄影：父親遇害後，德里克在鏡頭前說這個國家正在變成罪犯的避風港，還甩出一句 They come here to exploit it, not to embrace it.（他們來這兒是榨取，不是擁抱），把種族仇恨說得理直氣壯。想學 haven for（避風港）、pin something on someone（栽贓定罪）和 exploit（榨取）這些詞，看這場最直接。
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。
“Trust me. He's behind all of it.”
相信我。這一切都是他在背後操縱。
不擺證據只給斷言，信任和篤定全壓在短短七個詞上。
Trust me. Someone is behind all of it.
向人打包票、指出幕後主使時用；正式報告裡這樣說像空口斷言。
Trust me — he's the one pulling the strings. ／ Believe me, this all comes back to him.
口語
Trust me 放輕，behind all of it 一字一頓。
Trust me. She's behind all of it. 相信我，這一切都是她在背後操縱。
“Every problem in this country is race-related.”
這個國家的每個問題都跟種族有關。
把所有議題一刀切成一個答案，這種極端概括正是他最危險的修辭。
Every problem ... is race-related.
想歸納一類現象時可用；把複雜問題一刀切，日常爭論裡極易激怒對方。
Every issue here comes down to race. ／ Race explains all of it, he says.
中性
重讀 Every 和 race-related，句尾向下收。
Every complaint in that thread is budget-related. 那個帖子裡每個抱怨都跟預算有關。
“They come here to exploit it, not to embrace it.”
他們來這兒是為了榨取它，不是擁抱它。
對仗的兩個動詞把偏見說得體面，越工整越讓人不舒服。
They come here to ..., not to ....
對比兩種動機時用；拿它概括一群人，現實中很容易變成偏見。
They came for what they could take, not to belong. ／ He says they take from it and never give back.
中性
exploit 重讀，not to 前停半拍再 embrace。
Some firms come here to strip it, not to build it. 有些公司來這兒是為了撈一把就走，不是建設它。
“Minorities don't give two shits about this country.”
少數族裔根本不把這個國家當回事。
粗話加重了輕蔑，一句話既是偏見，也是他最真實的語氣。
Someone doesn't give two shits about something.
熟人之間表達滿不在乎時用；帶髒字，正式場合和對外溝通都別用。
They couldn't care less about it. ／ He doesn't give a damn about the rules.
口語
don't give 連讀，two shits 壓低加重。
He doesn't give two shits about the schedule. 他壓根不把日程當回事。
“What the fuck is the matter with these people?”
這些人到底他媽怎麼回事？
暴怒下的髒話反問，把不解和蔑視一起吼了出來。
What the fuck is the matter with ...?
極度惱火時脫口而出；髒話很重，任何正式或公開場合都不能用。
What the hell is wrong with these people? ／ What on earth is the matter with them?
口語
the fuck 一帶而過，matter 重讀，句尾挑高。
What the hell is the matter with this printer? 這臺印表機到底怎麼回事？
“I think this is something we gotta keep an eye on.”
我覺得這事我們得盯著點。
一句剋制的收尾，把整場種族狂言收束成一個必須監視的隱患。
This is something we gotta keep an eye on.
提醒同伴留意某件事的走向時用；正式彙報裡換 we should monitor it。
We should keep an eye on this one. ／ This is worth watching closely.
口語
keep an eye on 連成一片，gotta 輕讀。
That account is something we gotta keep an eye on. 那個賬號咱們得盯著點。
Yeah, it's race-related. Every problem in this country is race-related. Not just crime. It's immigration,AIDS,welfare. Those are problems of the black community... the Hispanic community, the Asian community. They're not white problems.
是，跟種族有關。 這個國家的每個問題都跟種族有關。 不只是犯罪。還有移民、愛滋病、福利。 那些是黑人社群的問題…… 拉美裔社群、亞裔社群的問題。 不是白人的問題。
Putting out a fire in a fucking nigger neighborhood... he shouldn't have given a shit about. He got shot by a fucking drug dealer... who probably still collects a welfare check.
他在一個黑人街區撲火…… 一個他根本不該搭理的街區。 他被一個他媽毒販開槍打死了…… 那傢伙現在八成還在領著福利金。
下一章 · 03make ends meet勉強維持生計這場戲：球場上打賭搶地盤意思是「把罪名或責任安到某人頭上」。戲裡說 Been trying to pin something to him, but it doesn't work，就是「一直想給他安個罪名，可就是行不通」。
have a look-see。比 have a look 更隨意，帶點逗趣。戲裡有人遞上檔案時說 Here you go. Have a look-see，就是「給，瞧瞧吧」。
是粗話，意思是「壓根不在乎」。臺詞裡 Minorities don't give two shits about this country，等於「少數族裔根本不把這個國家當回事」，語氣很衝，正式場合別用。
「……的避風港、庇護所」。臺詞裡說這個國家正在變成犯罪分子的 haven，就是「罪犯的避風港」，通常帶貶義，指某地縱容壞人。
keep an eye on 是「盯著、留意著」，用於關注人或事；keep it low 是「保持低調、別聲張」，指別把事情鬧大。兩個都出現在這場的收尾裡。
