這場戲：遊樂場男人翻臉
第 6 章 · 共 16 章 · 3'51"
遊樂場上，西爾維婭被留下看孩子，夥伴們在一旁起鬨。有人不聲不響湊到女孩身邊，當場被頂回來 You shouldn't sneak up on girls like that（你不該那樣悄悄湊近女孩）。寶拉撞見已婚男人的冷淡，只換來 You should listen to your mother, Paula, she knows best（你該聽你媽的，她最清楚）。指責越界、軟話堵人，兩句都用得上。

遊樂場上，15 歲的西爾維婭被留下照看小孩，只能在夥伴們的起鬨聲裡看著別人熱鬧。有人不聲不響湊到女孩身邊，被當面回了一句 You shouldn't sneak up on girls like that（你不該那樣偷偷湊近女孩），sneak up on 就是「躡手躡腳靠近、嚇人一跳」。另一邊，寶拉去找一個已婚男人，對方卻冷淡地說 listen to your mother, she knows best（聽你媽的，她最清楚），knows best 是「最懂、最清楚」，常用來勸人聽話。男人翻臉後，寶拉撂下一句 You're gonna pay for this（你會為此付出代價），pay for this 就是「為這件事付出代價」。想學怎麼指責越界的人、怎麼用軟話堵人、怎麼放狠話，這幾句都值得記。

“Don't try to pull that shit on me! You know, it ain't true.”
少拿那套鬼話來糊弄我！你知道的，根本沒這回事。
兩句話把不屑和看穿一起甩出，不辯解、不糾纏，當場拆穿對方。
Don't try to pull that ... on me!
有人拿假話糊弄你、你想當場拆穿時能用；對長輩或正式場合別用這種粗話。
Don't feed me that crap. ／ You can't sell me that story.
口語
重讀 shit 和 true，don't 後稍頓，句尾壓下去。
Don't try to pull that excuse on me; I saw the whole thing. 別拿那套藉口糊弄我，我全看見了。
“You should listen to your mother, Paula, she knows best.”
你該聽你媽的，寶拉，她最清楚。
不接對方的火氣，把長輩搬出來當擋箭牌，軟刀子把話堵死。
You should listen to ..., ... knows best.
勸人聽勸又想盡快收場時能用；對平輩擺這種腔調會顯得說教。
Trust your mother on this one. ／ She's the one who knows best.
中性
listen to 連讀，knows best 兩個詞都重讀。
Just listen to the doctor, she knows best. 就聽醫生的吧，她最清楚。
“You shouldn't sneak up on girls like that.”
你不該那樣偷偷湊到女孩跟前。
一句責備點出對方越界，語氣不重卻把邊界劃得很清楚。
You shouldn't ... like that.
對方舉止越界、你想平靜提醒時能用；對上級別用這種教訓口吻。
You can't just creep up on people. ／ Don't do that to girls.
中性
shouldn't 輕快帶過，like that 尾音下沉。
You shouldn't talk to clients like that. 你不該那樣跟客戶說話。
“You know, my Mama's been calling you trash.”
你知道，我媽一直說你是個下賤貨。
把羞辱說成轉述，借媽媽的嘴捅刀，還給自己留了餘地。
Someone's been calling you ...
想轉述難聽話又不想自己擔責時能用；對朋友說這種話會直接傷人，別輕易出口。
My mother says the same about you. ／ People have been calling you that.
口語
You know 輕起，Mama's been 連讀，trash 重讀收尾。
My sister's been calling you lucky, you know. 你知道，我姐一直說你運氣好。
Freedom was in jeopardy... when the struggling people had been brought... almost to their knees, by aggression. When William Westmoreland, was called to urgent duty. $20.00. Pay to: Gertrude Baniszewski His mission was to deny aggression, it's conquest. Please give us a call. Love, Mom and Dad. It was a mission, simple enough to stake. But to execute that mission... he had to fight the most complex war... in all American history.
自由曾一度岌岌可危…… 當那些苦苦掙扎的人被逼得…… 在侵略面前幾乎屈膝跪地。 就在那時，威廉·威斯特摩蘭被緊急徵召。 20美元。收款人：格特魯德·巴尼謝夫斯基。他的使命是遏止侵略與征服。 請給我們回個電話。愛你們的，爸媽。 這任務，說起來目標很簡單。 但要完成這項使命…… 他得打一場最複雜的戰爭…… 美國曆史上最複雜的戰爭。
下一章 · 07narrow gate窄門這場戲：女兒指控西爾維婭造謠意思是「你不該那樣悄悄湊到女孩身邊」。sneak up on 指趁人不備悄悄靠近，常帶嚇人一跳的意味，用來指責對方突然湊近、沒有分寸。
用 knows best，例如 You should listen to your mother, she knows best（你該聽你媽的，她最清楚）。這個說法常用來勸人聽長輩或內行的意見。
說 You're gonna pay for this。pay for this 就是為某件事付出代價，語氣很重，多半是受了委屈之後放狠話用的。
口語裡可以說 not give a shit，比如 They don't give a shit（他們才不在乎呢）。不過這是粗話，正式場合別用。
她去找已婚的布拉德利，對方卻冷淡地讓她走開，還動手輕薄，她覺得自己被耍了，才撂下狠話，說他會付出代價。
