這場戲：被調去給漢森當副手
第 1 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'27"
埃裡克的週日被打斷，被臨時調派到外勤辦事處，才知道要把自己安排到特工羅伯特·漢森手下。一句 riding the desk（掛名在某人的位子上）說明他只是去給漢森當副手，而 deviant（行為反常的人）更是把這個人說得不簡單。想描述「被派去坐班掛名」，這句最實用。
I'd rather go to a movie（我更想去看電影）
I'd rather 我寧願、我更想the rest of 其餘的、剩下的I bet 我敢說、我猜
❝ 獨白 · 6 句 上司的任務交底
用職務、履歷和一句警告拼出漢森的兩面，資訊密卻不亂。
週日本該休息，埃裡克卻被臨時調派到外勤辦事處，到了那裡才知道新任務：去總部給資深特工漢森當副手。有人用 riding the desk（掛名在某人的位子上）輕描淡寫，實際是讓他去給漢森坐班。介紹漢森時，頭銜是前蘇聯分析部門主管、國務院聯絡人，又用 most knowledgeable analyst（最有研究的人）誇他業務最懂行，轉頭提到 deviant（行為反常的人），暗示這人名聲有問題。想形容「掛名坐班」或「行為反常的人」，這兩張卡片都用得上。
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。
“That's all I said, right? Right. Sorry.”
我就說了這些，對吧？對。抱歉。
慌張地自我糾正，一句裡改口三次，把心虛演得活靈活現。
That's all I said, right?
說錯話想趕緊撇清時用；語氣隨意，正式場合別說。
That's all I meant, okay? ／ That's it, right?
口語
right 後停頓，Sorry 輕收。
That's all I said, right? I hope I didn't offend anyone. 我就說了這些，對吧？希望沒冒犯誰。
“I should have been one alley over. The light was better.”
我本該待在隔壁那條巷子，那邊的光更好。
一個特工的自責細到「光不夠好」，執念和敬業全在這半句裡。
I should have been ...
事後懊悔、覺得當初該換個做法時用；語氣認真，可自嘲。
I should have stayed one block over. ／ I should have picked a better spot.
中性
should have 弱讀成 should've。
I should have been at the other entrance. The line was shorter. 我本該走另一個入口，那邊隊短。
“You're going to be an agent.”
你會成為一名特工。
妻子把這句重複給他聽，簡單的將來時成了整段戲的定心丸。
You're going to be ...
替對方說出他不敢相信的好事、給他打氣時用；語氣溫暖。
You are going to make it. ／ You're going to do this.
中性
going to 讀成 gonna，agent 重音在前。
You're going to be a great teacher. 你會成為一名很棒的老師。
“Are the rest of those guys working as hard as you?”
其他那些人也都像你這麼拼嗎？
半是心疼半是調侃，把「你是不是被當牛馬」問得恰到好處。
Are the rest of ... as ... as you?
想誇又帶點調侃地問人是否過度付出時用；熟人之間合適。
Do the others work as hard as you? ／ Is everyone else pulling their weight like you?
口語
the rest of 連讀，as hard as 三處重音。
Are the rest of your team staying as late as you? 你團隊其他人也都留到這麼晚嗎？
“I'll get right to it, if you don't mind.”
你要是不介意的話，我這就開始。
既搶先表態又留足禮貌，職場裡最穩的一句開場白。
I'll get right to it, if you don't mind.
想立刻接手、又不想顯得莽撞時用；對上對下都能用。
I'll get started right away, if that's okay. ／ Let me get right to it.
正式
right to it 連讀，mind 收尾輕。
I'll get right to it once the meeting ends. 會議一結束我就馬上開始。
“You're being tasked to Headquarters, where you'll be riding the desk of an agent named Robert Hanssen.”
你被派往總部，去坐漢森的位子——就是那位叫羅伯特·漢森的探員。
一句公文腔的任務下達，把「監視」藏進「坐班」，滴水不漏。
You're being tasked to ..., where you'll be ...
正式宣佈調派、任命時用；職場和公文裡常見，日常偏重。
You're being assigned to Headquarters. ／ You'll be posted to the desk of an agent.

You're being tasked to the new branch, where you'll report to the director. 你被派到新分部，向主管彙報。
You're being tasked to Headquarters, where you'll be riding the desk of an agent named Robert Hanssen. You know him? No. Former head of our Soviet Analytical Unit, considered our most knowledgeable analyst on Russian intel. Last six years, he's been our liaison at the State Department. It's Sunday. We're bringing him back to Headquarters where he's gonna start our new Information Assurance Division, safeguarding the Bureau's IT system from cyberterrorism and infiltration.

下一章 · 02keep an eye on盯緊某人這場戲：被派去監視老特工它是口語說法，字面像「騎在辦公桌上」，實際指坐在某個位子上坐班、掛名任職。臺詞裡說 riding the desk of an agent named Robert Hanssen，就是派他去給漢森當副手坐班。
I'd rather。I'd rather go to a movie. 就是「我更想去看場電影」。後面直接跟動詞原形，語氣比 I want to 更強調偏好。
hack into。hack into another agent's hard drive 就是黑進另一名特工的硬碟。注意是 hack into，後面接被侵入的物件。
I bet 語氣更強，帶「我敢打賭」的把握。I bet they aren't. 就是「我打賭他們才沒有」，比 I think 更有底氣，也更口語。
表示「其餘的、剩下的」，後面必須接名詞或代詞，比如 the rest of those guys（其他那些人）。既能指人也能指物。
