這場戲：用一雙手講愛與恨
第 10 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'44"
薩爾正要打烊結賬，穆奇卻想先把工錢拿到手，一句 do me a solid（通融一下）張口就來。轉頭拉希姆舉起兩隻手，講起愛與恨的拳賽：恨節節進逼，愛被打得 on the ropes（招架不住），最後一記重拳反敗為勝。想求人通融、想形容誰快撐不住，這兩句都派得上用場。
求人「通融一下」：do me a solid
do me a solid 幫我個忙、通融一下get paid 領到工錢That depends 那得看情況
❝ 獨白 · 19 句 愛與恨的拳賽：on the ropes（招架不住）
on the ropes 被逼到絕境、招架不住stop the presses 先等等、先別急著定論the hand of love 被稱作愛的那隻手（反諷）
薩爾店裡，穆奇想把當天的工錢提前拿到手，求薩爾 do me a solid（幫我個忙、通融一下）；薩爾回一句 That depends（那得看情況），擺明打烊才結賬，說現在給了錢，今晚就見不著穆奇的人。另一頭，拉希姆舉起雙手，把愛與恨講成一場拳賽，愛一度被逼到 on the ropes（招架不住），最後一記重拳反敗為勝。do me a solid 是求人通融的隨意說法，跟朋友、同事都用得上；That depends 用來不馬上答應、摸清對方要什麼；on the ropes 出自拳擊，泛指被逼到快撐不住。想請人幫個不方便的忙，或者聊誰快頂不住了，都能直接用。

“It was with this hand that Cain iced his brother.”
該隱就是用這隻手殺了自己的兄弟。
用強調句把那隻手舉到眼前，講愛與恨時突然見血，力道極猛。
It was with X that Y did Z.
要強調正是靠某樣東西才做成某事時用；日常口語少見，正式講述裡可以。
It was this hand that did it. ／ This was the hand that killed him.
literary
It was 輕起，with this hand 稍停，that 後重讀 Cain。
It was with that shortcut that we lost the client. 就是那個偷懶的做法讓我們丟了客戶。
“And if I pay you now, I won't see you tonight.”
我要是現在把錢給你，今晚就見不著你人了。
一句條件句把老闆的算計說透：給了錢就等於放走人，聽著像玩笑其實很準。
And if I ..., I won't ....
用條件句預判對方下一步、委婉拒絕時用；對上級或客戶別這麼直。
If I do that, you won't come back. ／ Pay you now and I won't see you again.
中性
if I 連讀，won't 重讀，句尾 tonight 降調收。
And if I lend you the car, I won't see it for a month. 我要是把車借你，一個月都見不著它。
“Well, you got to do what you got to do, you know.”
唉，該怎麼做就得怎麼做，你知道的。
重複的 do what you got to do 把無奈說成道理，一句頂一段辯解。
You got to do what you got to do.
替自己的選擇找臺階、表示沒辦法時用；正式場合少用，顯得推脫。
You do what you have to do. ／ A man has to do what a man has to do.
口語
got to 連成 gotta，do 重讀兩遍，句尾 you know 輕帶。
I skipped the party, but you got to do what you got to do. 聚會我沒去，可該幹活就得幹活。
“One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass.”
一隻手總在跟另一隻手打，而左手正把人揍得很慘。
把愛與恨講成左右手互毆的實況解說，抽象的道理一下有了拳臺畫面。
one ... is always fighting the other ...
用形象比喻講內心矛盾時用，朋友間聊人生可以，正式論述要換成書面的說法。
It's a tug of war between two sides. ／ Half of me fights the other half.
口語
fighting the other hand 連讀，kicking much ass 重讀。
One side of me is always fighting the other side. 我的一半總在跟另一半打架。
Let me tell you the story of right hand, left hand. It's a tale of good and evil. Hate! It was with this hand that Cain iced his brother. Love! These five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand, the hand of love. The story of life is this... Static. One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, love, is finished. But hold on, stop the presses. The right hand's coming back. Yeah. He got the left hand on the ropes now. That's right. Yeah. It's a devastating right and hate is hurt. He's down! Left hand, hate, KO'd by love. If I love you, I love you. But if I hate you... There it is, love and hate.
我來給你講講右手和左手的故事。 這是一個關於善與惡的故事。恨！ 該隱就是用這隻手殺了自己的兄弟。 愛！ 這五根手指，直抵人的靈魂。 右手，是愛之手。 人生的故事是這樣的…… 一片雜音。 一隻手總在跟另一隻手較勁，而左手正大殺四方。 我是說，瞧這架勢，右手，也就是愛，要完蛋了。 但是等等，先別急著下結論。 右手又打回來了。 對。現在他把左手逼到圍繩邊了。 沒錯。對。 一記重拳狠狠命中，恨受了傷。他倒下了！ 左手，也就是恨，被愛擊倒。 我愛你，就真心愛你。 可要是我恨你…… 就是這樣，愛與恨。
下一章 · 11here to stay會一直存在這場戲：父子為賣不賣店吵翻意思是「幫我個忙、通融一下」，是熟人之間的口語說法，比 do me a favor 更隨意。臺詞裡穆奇想先領工錢，就用這句求薩爾鬆口。
拳擊裡說 on the ropes，本指被打到圍繩邊，引申為被逼到絕境、快撐不住。臺詞裡把愛講成拳手，被恨逼到 on the ropes，後來才反打回來。
原意是「停下印刷機」，報館用來喊「有重大新聞」。日常說就是「先別急、先別下結論」。臺詞裡講到最後關頭，用這句把話頭一收，再翻盤。
意思是「那得看情況」，用來不馬上答應、先摸清對方要什麼。臺詞裡穆奇開口求情，薩爾先用這句把話擋回去，等於「你先說是啥事」。
他把兩隻手分別當成愛和恨來講故事：左手是恨，一度把愛打倒，最後愛反敗為勝。這是他用街坊都懂的方式講善惡之爭，也是他的招牌動作。
