把某人逼得抓狂 這裡不是真瘋，是煩到受不了

火車上互問最煩的事：piss someone off
火車上有人問：什麼事最讓你火大？對方從街頭陌生男人一路數到三百公里外的戰爭。想說「這事讓我火大」，用 piss someone off（惹惱某人）；想說「我一下沒忍住」，用 lose one's temper（突然發火）。吐槽煩心事時正好用上。
發生了什麼
火車上有人問對方什麼事最讓他惱火，對方先說街上陌生男人讓自己笑一個，接著說三百公里外正在打仗，people are dying and nobody knows what to do about it（人在死去，卻沒人知道該怎麼辦）。開頭用 piss someone off（惹惱某人）發問，後面 lose one's temper（突然發火）講沒壓住火氣。聊到輪迴時，a fraction of（……的一小部分）問現代靈魂是不是最初靈魂的一小塊，a blip in（轉瞬即逝的一小段）把五萬年說成一眨眼。想說「這事讓我火大」「我一下沒忍住」，就用這幾個。
這場戲看什麼
- 注意列舉煩心事時的節奏加快
- 聽人如何把怪想包裝成 problem
- 看兩人從爭論到決定下車

快說時 pisses you off 連成一串，you 別拖重
Okay, tell me something that really pisses you off, really drives you crazy.被動動名詞：being told 是動名詞被動式，作 hate 的賓語，表示“被陌生人告知”，不是進行時。
I hate being told by strange men, a strange man in the street — Yeah?讓某人心裡好受些
You know, like, to smile to make them feel better about their boring life.一場正在進行的戰爭
I hate — I hate that 300 kilometers from here, there's a war going on,拿某事怎麼辦
people are dying and nobody knows what to do about it.what 和 to 幾乎粘在一起，t 輕輕帶過就滑進 do
people are dying and nobody knows what to do about it.完全不在乎——粗俗，熟人發洩才用，正式場合停用
Or they don't give a shit, I don't know.操控人的思想
I hate that the medias — You know, they're trying to control our minds.一種新形式的……
It's very subtle, but it's a new form of fascism, really.在國外
I hate — (chuckles) I hate when I'm in a foreign country, especially in America — they're the worst.受不了某事 不是站不住，是忍不了
I hate that. I can't stand it, really.輪到我了
- So, it's my turn. - Okay.冒出個想法
No. I had a thought the other day that kind of qualifies as a problem.相信某事存在
Um, do you believe in reincarnation?諸如此類的東西
Most people talk about past lives and things like that.某種模糊觀念
people have some kind of notion of an eternal soul, right?來自某處
Now, if we all have our own individual, unique soul, where do they all come from?條件問句：if 從句先給假設，主句用 where 提問；拆成“如果……那麼它們從哪來”就順了。
Now, if we all have our own individual, unique soul, where do they all come from?問句裡 do 很輕，they 緊跟上去
Now, if we all have our own individual, unique soul, where do they all come from?轉瞬即逝的一小段
有人算出五萬年裡每個靈魂被分成五千份，隨即說這在地球的時間裡就像 a blip in 整段歷史，不過一眨眼。
'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000-to-1 split of each soul in just the last 50,000 years, which is like a blip in the earth's time.非限制性定語從句：which 指前面整件事，補充說明每個靈魂被切成五千份，放到地球時間裡也只是一瞬。
'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000-to-1 split of each soul in just the last 50,000 years, which is like a blip in the earth's time.往好裡說
So at best, we're like these tiny fractions of people walking...說得通
Which is kinda why it makes sense, you know?有點/挺——口語弱化語氣，寫作少用
Which is kinda why it makes sense, you know?同意某人的看法
I agree with you.重音壓在 damn 上，train 收得乾脆
Let's get off this damn train.該死的——口語洩憤，正式場合別用
Let's get off this damn train.看懂「火車上互問最煩的事」
發音重點
- pisses you off — 快說時 pisses you off 連成一串，you 別拖重
- what to do — what 和 to 幾乎粘在一起，t 輕輕帶過就滑進 do
- do they — 問句裡 do 很輕，they 緊跟上去
- this damn train — 重音壓在 damn 上，train 收得乾脆
people are dying and nobody knows what to do about it.人們在死去，卻沒人知道該怎麼辦。 把宏大災難壓成一句無力感，短句有重擊。
It's very subtle, but it's a new form of fascism, really.這很微妙，但它確實是一種新形式的法西斯主義。 用 subtle 與 fascism 的反差，把日常操控說成政治警報。
Now, if we all have our own individual, unique soul, where do they all come from?現在，如果我們每個人都有一個屬於自己、獨一無二的靈魂，那這些靈魂都是從哪兒來的？ 把靈魂存在論變成人口賬，一句追問讓抽象概念落地。
Is that why we're so scattered? Is that why we're all so specialized?我們這麼心散，難道就是這個原因？我們個個這麼專，難道也是這個原因？ 兩個排比問句把個人感受抬成群體診斷，節奏很抓人。
Let's get off this damn train.我們下這該死的火車吧。 一句髒話收束長談，把哲學討論變成行動。
關於這一章的問題
piss someone off 是什麼意思？
口語裡偏粗、偏衝，意思是「惹惱某人」，比 annoy 火氣更足。臺詞裡 tell me something that really pisses you off 問的是什麼事讓你惱火，從句主語是事，不是人。
「突然發火」英語怎麼說？
lose one's temper 是沒壓住火氣、當場發脾氣。臺詞裡說，每次穿黑色、lose one's temper 或隨口說點什麼，都會被人說「太有法國味」。
「轉瞬即逝的一小段」英語怎麼說？
可以說 a blip in。臺詞裡說五萬年裡的拆分 like a blip in the earth's time，拿地球的時間襯出五萬年也只是一眨眼。
qualify as a problem 怎麼理解？
qualify as 是「夠得上算作」。qualify as a problem 就是這件事勉強夠得上算個問題，比直接說 is a problem 留了餘地。臺詞裡說，前幾天有個想法 kind of qualifies as a problem。
I can't stand it 是什麼意思？
can't stand it 是「受不了某事」，比 don't like 重得多。臺詞裡一句 I hate that. I can't stand it, really. 收住前面那串被人說「太有法國味」的煩惱。
