這場戲：帶眾客人逐個房間復盤
第 12 章 · 共 17 章 · 3'08"
沃茲沃思一句 Very well, I know who did it（好了，我知道是誰幹的了）把所有人鎮住，接著說要帶大家 step by step（一步一步）重演當晚。門廳、廚房、餐廳，他邊走邊講，客人越聽越急，直接喊 Get on with it（快往下說）。想學怎麼按順序複述一件事，這段是模板。
❝ 獨白 · 7 句 Very well, I know who did it（好了，我知道是誰幹的了）
who did it 是誰幹的how it was all done 事情是怎麼做的In order to 為了做某事step-by-step 一步一步、按順序
make a long story short（長話短說）
preparing for 為某事做準備prevented you from telling 阻止某人做某事noticed that 注意到……make a long story short 長話短說
沃茲沃思宣佈 Very well, I know who did it（好了，我知道是誰幹的了），還說要講清 how it was all done（這一切是怎麼做的），於是帶眾人一間間走。為了幫大家弄清經過，他要 step by step（一步一步）重演當晚：伊薇特如何獨自端著香檳等候、門鈴怎麼一次次響起、上校和懷特太太先後到場。講到一半，客人不耐煩地喊 Get on with it（快往下說），還有人搶白 Too late（來不及了）。值得學的三個說法：step by step 是按順序一步步；make a long story short 是長話短說；get on with it 是催人繼續、別磨蹭。想學怎麼把一晚上的事有條理地講清楚，這段最典型。

“Very well, I know who did it.”
好了，我知道是誰幹的了。
全場吵了幾十分鐘，這一句一落，懸疑立刻翻面，最像揭幕的話。

破案式地揭曉答案、宣佈掌握真相時用；開玩笑時別把話說得太滿。
I finally know who is behind this. ／ I have figured out who is responsible.
中性
Very well 稍停，I know who did it 一氣呵成，did it 重讀。
Very well, I know what broke the build. 好了，我知道是什麼把構建搞掛的了。
“At the start of the evening, Yvette was here by herself, waiting to offer you all a glass of champagne.”
傍晚一開始，伊薇特一個人在這兒，等著給你們每人遞上一杯香檳。
把命案當晚還原成一幅安靜的畫，越是日常越襯得後文可怕。
At the start of ..., someone was here, waiting to ...
按時間順序復盤一件事的開頭時用；講故事時先說場景更有代入感。

“And I prevented you from telling me your real name because I didn't want any of you to use any name other than your pseudonym.”

把一個古怪規矩的理由說得頭頭是道，越平靜越顯這場局早有預謀。

下一章 · 13get your hands on弄到手這場戲：管家復盤誰不在場意思是「一步一步、按順序來」。臺詞裡要帶大家 step-by-step 回顧當晚，就是把事情拆成幾步，從頭講到尾。
說 make a long story short。臺詞裡剛說到一半就被打斷，還接了句 Too late，說明別人已經嫌你囉嗦。
是催人「繼續、別磨蹭」的口語。臺詞裡客人等急了就喊 Get on with it，比 hurry up 更針對「別廢話，往下講」。
pseudonym 是正式場合用的化名、筆名，nickname 是熟人間的小名、外號。臺詞裡客人約定只用化名，用的就是 pseudonym。
是下意識地縮一下、閃躲，多半因為疼或怕。臺詞裡說兩個人 flinched，就是被點到時身體不自覺地一僵。
