這場戲：數子彈揭穿兇手
第 17 章 · 共 17 章 · 2'58"
斯嘉麗小姐想靠政府情報繼續勒索全場，卻被當面點破：There are no more bullets left in that gun（那把槍裡沒子彈了）。對方接著報出一串 There was one shot at Mr. Boddy（朝博迪先生開了一槍）式的加減法，逼她算清還剩幾發。想學放狠話和算賬式推理，這段最經典。
There are no more bullets left in that gun（那把槍裡沒有子彈了）

斯嘉麗小姐亮出底牌，想用政府情報繼續勒索所有人，卻被點破：There are no more bullets left in that gun（那把槍裡沒有子彈了）。對方像報賬一樣數起每一槍——書房一槍、吊燈兩槍、門廳兩槍，還有一槍打給唱歌電報女郎，逼她算清到底還剩幾發。全場僵住時，一句 Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn（坦白說，我一點也不在乎）把氣氛推到頂點。隨後沃茲沃思復盤兇手路線，指出對方犯了個 fatal mistake（致命錯誤）：猴腦那道菜暴露了對方和廚師的關係。值得學的三個說法：blackmail 是敲詐勒索；one bullet left 是還剩一顆子彈；give a damn 是否定句裡的「在乎、當回事」。
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。
“Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn.”
坦白說，斯卡麗特，我一點也不在乎。
借經典電影臺詞收尾，一句話把生死威脅說成了無所謂。
Frankly, ..., I don't give a damn.
被人威脅、想表明不在乎時用；帶髒話，正式場合和長輩面前別用。
Honestly, I couldn't care less. ／ Frankly, I don't care what you do.
口語
Frankly 後微停，damn 重讀並拉長，句尾下沉。
Frankly, I don't care what they write about me. 坦白說，他們怎麼寫我，我都不在乎。
“There are no more bullets left in that gun.”
那把槍裡已經沒有子彈了。
不搶槍、不勸說，只報出事實，就抽走了對方全部的籌碼。
There are no more X left.
指出東西已經用光、對方無牌可打時用；安慰或提醒都合適。
That gun is empty now. ／ There's nothing left in it.
中性
no more 連讀，bullets left 連讀，gun 收尾放平。
There are no more tickets left for tonight. 今晚的票已經一張不剩了。
“You were the person who was missing when the cook and Mr. Boddy were murdered, and the cook used to be your cook.”
廚師和博迪先生被殺的時候，你就是那個不在場的人，而那個廚師以前是你家的廚子。
把不在場和舊關係併成一句，動機和時機同時落地。
You were the person who was missing when ...
把兩件證據串成一條指控時用；正式場合也能說，語氣偏結論。
You were the one absent when it happened. ／ The missing person and the old cook point to you.
正式
the person who 連讀，used to be 弱讀，句尾 your cook 放平。
You were the person who was missing when the keys disappeared. 鑰匙不見的時候，你就是那個不在場的人。
“and monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, D.C.”
還有猴腦，雖說在粵菜裡很受歡迎，可在華盛頓特區可不常見。
用一道怪菜的地域差把兇手的口味變成破案線索，妙句也是關鍵證詞。
... though popular in ..., are not often found in ...
用地域差異調侃某樣東西少見時能用；正談論飲食禁忌的場合不要亂說。
Popular back home, but you won't find it here. ／ It's a local favourite, rare anywhere else.
中性
Cantonese cuisine 連讀，Washington, D.C. 放慢咬清。
Durian is popular in the south, though not often found on this menu. 榴槤在南方很常見，可這份選單上就難找了。
In the dark, the murderer ran across the hall to the study, picked up the rope and the lead pipe, ran to the billiard room, strangled Yvette. Ran to the library, hit the cop on the head with the lead pipe. Then, coming out of the library, the doorbell rang. It was a singing telegram. The murderer picked up the gun where Yvette dropped it, ran to the door, opened it, recognized the girl from her photograph, shot her, and then ran back to the cellar.
黑暗裡，兇手穿過門廳跑進書房， 拿起繩子和鉛管，跑到檯球室，勒死了伊薇特。 又跑到圖書室，用鉛管砸了警察的頭。 然後，就在他從圖書室出來時，門鈴響了。是個唱歌電報。 兇手撿起伊薇特掉下的槍， 跑到門口，開啟門，從照片上認出了那個女孩， 開槍打死了她，然後又跑回地窖。
意思是「在乎、當回事」，幾乎只用在否定句裡。I don't give a damn 就是「我一點也不在乎」，比 I don't care 更重、更衝。
動詞是 blackmail，名詞也是 blackmail。臺詞裡 It's no good blackmailing me 就是「敲詐我沒用」，勒索的人叫 blackmailer。
表示「還剩一顆子彈」，left 放在數量後面是「剩下」的意思。也可以說 There's one bullet left，日常還能說 two days left（還剩兩天）。
意思是接觸不到、沒有許可權使用。臺詞裡說管家 have no access to government secrets，就是「接觸不到政府機密」。
是，意思是「在別人眼裡地位提高、被更看得起」。estimation 在這裡指評價、看法，多用於別人對你的印象變好。
