這場戲：狗預警懸崖救了全隊
第 12 章 · 共 19 章 · 4'21"
越野賽走到一半，一條流浪狗突然攔住邁克爾，衝著懸崖狂叫，全隊才發現再一步就是深淵。它救下大家，隊員說 saved your ass（救了你一條命）；可一說到要不要帶上它，有人卻說 one less mouth to feed（少一張嘴要養活），現實得有些狠心。想聊要不要養、或點破功利算盤，都能用。
「它肯定長著翅膀」英語說 He must have wings
met back up 重新會合、又碰頭all the way 一路、全程the hell 到底、究竟（加強語氣）He must have wings 它肯定長著翅膀
冠軍亞瑟裡，隊伍在越野賽中迷了路，邁克爾帶著大家硬走一條野路。一條流浪狗突然攔在他面前，朝懸崖方向叫，眾人這才發現前方是深谷，狗等於救了全隊。事後他們餵它肉丸，也開始盤算現實問題：有人用 one less mouth to feed（少一張嘴要養活）暗示要不要把它留下，而 saved your ass（救了你一條命）正是它剛做的事；回憶裡還有一句 met back up（重新會合），說他們在補給點又和狗碰了頭。想聊養不養寵物、或點破別人算計時，這些說法都用得上。

“Can't believe I almost walked right off that cliff.”
真不敢相信，我差點兒徑直走下懸崖。
後怕全在 almost 和 right off 裡，人沒事，心跳還沒平。
Can't believe I almost ...
事後跟人說自己差點出事時用；正式彙報別這麼隨意。
I almost went right over the edge. ／ That was way too close.
口語
almost 輕讀，right off 連讀，句尾降下來。
Can't believe I almost missed the last train. 真不敢相信我差點錯過末班車。
“He must have wings we don't know about.”
它肯定長著我們不知道的翅膀。
用一句玩笑解釋完全想不通的事，比干著急高明。
Someone must have ... we don't know about.
對朋友調侃某人本事太大、來路不明時用；正經解釋別用。
He must have a secret route. ／ There's no other way he could do it.
中性
must have 連讀，we don't know about 語調收平。
She must have a shortcut we don't know about. 她肯定有條我們不知道的捷徑。
“I told you it was a good idea to bring him along.”
我跟你說過，帶上它是個好主意。
不炫耀，只把話說回自己當初的判斷，得意又剋制。
I told you it was a good idea to ...
朋友當初不聽勸、後來應驗時用；對上級邀功別用。
See, bringing him was the right call. ／ I said it would pay off.
口語
told you 連讀，good idea 重音在前，句尾輕收。
I told you it was a good idea to book early. 我跟你說過，早點訂是個好主意。
“It will be nice to focus on something else when this is over.”
等這一切結束，能去專注點別的事也不錯。
在苦賽裡說出一句對未來的輕聲期待，疲憊下的溫柔比豪言更讓人記住。
It will be nice to ... when this is over.
在忙亂中表達對結束後的期待時用，朋友間傾訴合適，正式場合要說得更具體。
It'll be good to think about something else after this. ／ I can't wait to care about something smaller.
中性
focus on something else 連讀，when this is over 放慢。
It will be nice to sleep when this is over. 等這事完了能睡一覺就好了。
下一章 · 13fit for a king配得上國王這場戲：給流浪狗起名亞瑟王字面是「少一張嘴要喂」，意思是少一個人（或動物）要養，負擔輕一點。臺詞裡是隊員在糾結要不要丟下狗時說的，帶著點狠心和無奈。
口語裡說 saved your ass，字面是「救了你的屁股」。語氣很隨便，朋友之間常用，正式場合別用。臺詞裡隊員們就是說它剛救了邁克爾。
說 has the balls to，balls 在這裡指膽量，比較粗但有畫面。臺詞裡是說但願沒有別人有膽子走這條野路。
說 met back up，常用在走散之後重新見到彼此。臺詞裡是隊員對著地圖回憶，說狗在補給點又重新跟他們匯合。
它是疑問句裡的加強語氣，意思是「到底、究竟」，比如 how the hell did he do that 就是「他到底怎麼做到的」。臺詞裡隊員用它表達對狗獨自翻山越嶺的難以置信。
