借錢買下快捷商店：pan out
幾個人盤算買下快捷商店，錢不夠；有人答應出錢，卻先開出 on two conditions（有兩個條件）。聊到這些年大學和別的都沒成，一句 never panned out（始終沒成）把話題拉回到他們自己身上。談錢、談合作、復盤人生都能用。
發生了什麼
幾個人盤算買下快捷商店，卻發現誰都沒那筆錢；有人願意出錢，但先擺出 on two conditions（有兩個條件），其中一條包括不許報警。聊到這些年大學和別的機會，有人說這些事 never panned out（始終沒成）；隨後又冒出一句 I was this close to starting a new life（差一點就開始新生活）。想練談條件、談錢、談遺憾，這幾個說法都很實用，也能直接搬進日常聊天。
這場戲看什麼
- 看誰先鬆口、條件怎麼砍
- 葷段子後語氣突然轉認真
- 結尾告白用玩笑卸力
留意這幾個短語

本章短語
pan out
成功；有好結果end up well; succeed
有人把多年在店裡耗著、大學沒讀成，說成一種遲來的解釋；pan out 用在這裡，指這些事最後都沒成，語氣從自嘲滑向認真。
The plan to open a food truck panned out after they found a cheap lot.他們找到便宜場地後，開餐車的計劃成功了。
本章還有
- on two conditions
有兩個條件
- some other asshole
別的混蛋
- this close to
差一點就
- in a totally heterosexual way
強調不是同性戀
- call the cops
報警
本章全部批註
34 句台詞裡標了 30 處
五萬塊
Like, 50 grand, easy.一千美元——街頭談錢常用，正式報價寫 thousand dollars
Like, 50 grand, easy.那種數目的錢
And neither one of us have that type of money.one of us 快說時 of 只剩輕輕一帶，三個詞黏著走
And neither one of us have that type of money.願意借出
You guys would be willing to lend us some of that money so we can reopen the stores?目的狀語從句：so we can + 動詞表示“好讓我們能……”，說明借錢用途，不是結果。
You guys would be willing to lend us some of that money so we can reopen the stores?有兩個條件
有人先一句 Sure 答應借錢，緊跟著 on two conditions 把話停住，開出兩個條件；語氣爽快，條件卻一個比一個離譜。
Sure, on two conditions.在店門口閒蕩
One: We can hang out in front of the store anytime we want, and you can't call the cops.報警
有人把「不許報警」列成借錢條件，一句 call the cops 說得像正經條款，內容卻是在耍無賴，笑點就出來了。
One: We can hang out in front of the store anytime we want, and you can't call the cops.警察——口語/街頭說法，正式場合用 police
One: We can hang out in front of the store anytime we want, and you can't call the cops.互相口交——粗俗性俚語，只在成人私密語境
And two: You have to blow each other, and we get to watch.肛交後口交——極粗俗性俚語，僅成人語境
Then you have to go ass to mouth.說來不情願，但……
I almost hate to say it, but...有點說得通
it kind of makes sense.kind of 兩個詞常縮成一團，中間別停頓，makes 緊跟
it kind of makes sense.在那家店裡耗了很多時間
Hey, maybe that's why we spent so much time in that store, why college or anything else never panned out for us.對我們始終沒成
Hey, maybe that's why we spent so much time in that store, why college or anything else never panned out for us.表語從句：that's why 後接兩個 why 從句，把耗在店裡和別的路沒走通並列成同一種解釋。
Hey, maybe that's why we spent so much time in that store, why college or anything else never panned out for us.自己開店做生意
You and me running our own business instead of working for some other asshole?而不是替人打工
You and me running our own business instead of working for some other asshole?混蛋；討厭鬼——粗俗罵人話，正式場合停用
You and me running our own business instead of working for some other asshole?他媽的（加強語氣）——粗俗強調詞，別在正式場合用
Could be pretty fuckin' sweet, right?差一點就開始
I was this close to starting a new life.開啟新生活
I was this close to starting a new life.this 重讀，close to 輕快滑過，new life 稍放慢
I was this close to starting a new life.反意問句：前面 you're gonna 陳述，後面 aren't you 反問，逼對方確認，帶無奈。
You're actually gonna make me do this, aren't you?aren't you 快問時連成一串，尾音上挑，別拖長 you
You're actually gonna make me do this, aren't you?捂住耳朵
Can you guys cover your ears for a minute, please?最好的朋友
You're my best friend...看懂「借錢買下快捷商店」
發音重點
- one of us — one of us 快說時 of 只剩輕輕一帶，三個詞黏著走
- kind of makes — kind of 兩個詞常縮成一團，中間別停頓，makes 緊跟
- this close to — this 重讀，close to 輕快滑過，new life 稍放慢
- aren't you — aren't you 快問時連成一串，尾音上挑，別拖長 you
And neither one of us have that type of money.而我們倆誰都沒有那種錢。 用錯位的 neither...have 和 that type of money，一句就把窘迫說透。
Hey, maybe that's why we spent so much time in that store, why college or anything else never panned out for us.嘿，也許這就是為什麼我們在那店裡耗了那麼多時間，為什麼大學或其他什麼事都沒成。 把多年失敗重新解釋成命運伏筆，panned out 一詞很準。
I was this close to starting a new life.我差一點就開始新生活了。 this close to 把差一點的距離感說得很具體，收尾有惋惜。
You're actually gonna make me do this, aren't you?你真要逼我做這件事，是吧？ 反意問句把責任推回對方，半無奈半撒嬌。
Please, man, don't leave me.求你了，老兄，別丟下我。 最短的挽留，man 和 please 把逞強全卸掉。
關於這一章的問題
on two conditions 是什麼意思？
意思是「有兩個條件」。有人答應出錢，但先把條件擺出來：可以在店門口待著、不許報警，後面還有一條更離譜的。談合作、借錢時都用得上。
「差一點就」英語怎麼說？
可以用 this close to。臺詞裡說 I was this close to starting a new life，就是「我差一點就開始新生活了」。想強調只差一點點沒做成，用這個說法很自然。
pan out 在這裡指什麼？
指事情最後有沒有成、有沒有好結果。臺詞裡說大學或別的什麼 never panned out for us，就是這些事始終沒成。不是「平底鍋」的意思。
「報警」英語怎麼說？
可以說 call the cops。臺詞裡列條件時說 you can't call the cops，就是「你們不許報警」。cops 是口語裡的警察，比 call the police 更隨意。
in a totally heterosexual way 是認真的嗎？
字面上是給前面那句「我愛你」加一道限定：強調是異性戀意義上的愛，好把話拉回兄弟情。臺詞沒交代這句是玩笑還是認真，但它緊接在那句「我愛你」後面特意補上，聽起來像在刻意撇清。
