這場戲：舊友落網，裡克被盤問
第 4 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'04"
烏加特被警察架走時衝裡克喊救命，裡克只回一句 I stick my neck out for nobody（我從不替任何人出頭）。轉頭德國少校上門，問他巴黎 the occupation（淪陷）那陣子的事。想學冷麵拒絕、還有不軟不硬的應酬話，這幾句正好。
一句 stick my neck out（為別人冒險出頭）
more of a help 能多幫上點忙stick my neck out 替人冒險、出頭have a good time 玩得開心、盡興
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 斯特拉瑟的試探陳詞
一口氣把敵情、盤查和私心說完，越客氣越逼人。
烏加特闖進裡克酒館求救，還是被警察帶走，裡克撂下一句 I stick my neck out for nobody（我從不替任何人出頭）。隨後路易帶著德國少校斯特拉瑟來，斯特拉瑟打聽裡克巴黎淪陷（the occupation）時的事，一路盤問他的國籍、去向和對戰爭的看法。裡克用 I'm a drunkard（我是個酒鬼）、are my eyes really brown（少來這套）這類話軟釘子頂回去，最後說 Your business is politics, mine is running a saloon（你們做政治，我開酒館）。想練不選邊、擋話、體面抽身，這幾句都用得上。
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。
“I stick my neck out for nobody.”
我從不替誰冒險出頭。
不解釋也不鋪墊，一句就把瑞克的立世規矩釘死，冷硬又幹脆。
stick one's neck out for somebody
想表明不替人攬事、不擔風險時用；對剛認識的人或正式場合別說，容易顯得冷。
I go out on a limb for no one. ／ I don't put myself on the line for anybody.
口語
重讀 stick 和 nobody，句末降調，把「誰都不」說死。
I don't stick my neck out for people who never showed up for me. 誰從沒為我出過力，我也不會替誰扛事。
“Well, there are sections of New York, major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.”
這個嘛，少校，紐約有些街區，我勸你還是別想著去佔領。
表面在聊地盤，實際給佔領者留了顆釘子，禮貌裡全是刺。
there are ... that I wouldn't advise you to ...
想用客氣的口吻回絕或警告時能用；對上司、生人別太沖，語氣要拿捏好。
I wouldn't recommend you try that. ／ That's not somewhere I'd advise you to go.
中性
sections 和 advise 重讀，插入語 major 輕輕帶過。
There are markets in this region I wouldn't advise you to try to enter. 這一帶有幾個市場，我勸你們別貿然進去。
“You repeat Third Reich as though you expected there to be others.”
你一口一個「第三帝國」，好像還指望有別的帝國似的。
抓住對方一個用詞反打，把敬畏說成笑話，機鋒全在 as though。
you ... as though you expected ...
有人把話說得太當回事時，可以借他的原話輕刺一下；對上司別用，容易得罪人。
You say that as if there were others. ／ You talk as though that were the only one.
中性
as though 後稍作停頓，expected 微微上揚帶出嘲諷。
You say 'the best firm in town' as though there were no others. 你說「全城最好的公司」，好像別家都不存在似的。
“Excuse me, gentlemen. Your business is politics, mine is running a saloon.”
失陪了，各位。你們做的是政治，我做的是開酒館。
一句劃清界限，等於說我誰都不得罪，也誰都不幫。
Your business is X, mine is Y.
被拉進不屬於自己的爭論時用；對真心求助的人說會顯得冷血，場合要挑。
That's your department, not mine. ／ I stay out of politics.
中性
Excuse me 平穩，politics 稍重，running a saloon 放輕收尾。
Excuse me. Your business is politics, mine is shipping orders. 失陪，你們搞政治，我只管發貨。
You will forgive my curiosity, Mr. Blaine. The point is... ...an enemy of the Reich has come to Casablanca... ...and we are checking up on anybody who can be of any help to us. My interest in whether Victor Laszlo stays or goes is purely a sporting one.
布萊恩先生，請原諒我的好奇。重點是…… ……有一個帝國的敵人來到了卡薩布蘭卡…… ……凡是能幫上我們的人，我們都要查一查。 我對維克多·拉茲洛是走是留的興趣，純粹是出於看熱鬧。
下一章 · 05a game we play心照不宣的把戲這場戲：咖啡館裡少校當面逼問字面是「把脖子伸出去」，指為別人冒險、出頭擔風險。裡克說 I stick my neck out for nobody，就是「我從不替任何人出頭」。
the occupation，指國家或城市被佔領、淪陷的那段時期。臺詞裡問裡克是不是巴黎淪陷的時候來的，用的就是它。
戲裡用 are my eyes really brown 這個反問：你說這些話，難道我眼睛是棕色的？潛臺詞是「少來這套、別繞了」。
slip through our fingers。少校說拉斯洛三次都從我們手裡溜掉，就是 slipped through our fingers。
wouldn't advise you to。裡克說紐約有些街區，I wouldn't advise you to try to invade，就是「我勸你別想著去佔領」。
