這場戲：父子為賣不賣店吵翻
第 11 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'28"
披薩店裡，兒子皮諾勸老爹薩爾把店盤出去、搬回班森赫斯特，越說越激動，說自己受夠了黑人顧客。薩爾沒讓步，一句 Sal's Famous Pizzeria is here to stay（薩爾名店披薩會一直開下去）把話定死。想用英文表態「這事沒得商量、我就是要留下」，here to stay 最好用。
❝ 獨白 · 8 句 「薩爾名店披薩會一直開下去」：here to stay
grew up on 從小吃……長大proud of that 為這件事感到驕傲what I'm trying to say 我想說的其實是here to stay 會一直存在下去
在薩爾名店披薩店，兒子皮諾開口勸父親：Maybe we should sell this place.（也許我們該把這店盤出去。）他說要趁還沒賠本趕緊脫身，搬回班森赫斯特另開一家。薩爾反問 You really think you know what's best for us, Pino?（你真覺得自己知道什麼對我們最好嗎？），可皮諾說自己就是受不了黑人顧客，朋友都拿這個笑話他。薩爾一句 Do your friends put money in your pocket?（你那些朋友給你兜裡添過錢嗎？）把話頂回去，又說這些街坊是 grew up on my food（吃我的飯長大的），他為此驕傲，最後撂下 Sal's Famous Pizzeria is here to stay（這家店會一直開下去）。想練和家人談「賣不賣、搬不搬」，這幾句正好能用上。

把一輩子的營生和骨氣壓成一句短話，越平靜越有分量。

重音落在 here 和 stay，句尾下沉，別往上挑。
My little bookstore is here to stay, no matter what the rent does. 不管租金怎麼漲，我這家小書店都會一直開下去。
“If they were your friends, they wouldn't laugh at you.”
他們要是真拿你當朋友，就不會笑話你。
用虛擬語氣把「朋友」二字拆開，道理說得又輕又狠。
If they were your ..., they wouldn't ...
勸人看清一段關係時用；當面說別人朋友不好會得罪人，慎用。
If he were a real friend, he wouldn't talk behind your back.

were 輕讀，wouldn't 的 t 吞掉，整句一氣呵成。

“You really think you know what's best for us, Pino?”
你真覺得自己知道什麼對我們最好嗎，皮諾？
一個反問把兒子的自信頂回去，話裡全是父親的不服。
You really think you ...?
對方自以為高明時反問用；對長輩或客戶這樣說會顯得挑釁。
You honestly think you have it all figured out?
口語
really 加重，Pino 前略停，問句尾音上揚。
You really think you can finish all that by Friday? 你真覺得能在週五前把那些全做完？
“On my food. I'm very proud of that.”
靠我做的飯。這一點我很自豪。
重複一個短句再鄭重補一句自豪，把店主的尊嚴釘在幾盤披薩上，樸素又重。
I'm very proud of that.
為自己不起眼的成就正名時用，家人之間可以，職場自誇要搭配具體事實。
They grew up on what I make, and I'm proud of it. ／ That's my work, and I stand by it.
中性
On my food 稍停，proud of that 重讀。
Kids grew up on my cooking. I'm very proud of that. 孩子們是吃我做的飯長大的。這點我很自豪。
I never had no trouble with these people. I sat in this window. I watched these little kids get old. And I seen the old people get older. Yeah, sure, some of them don't like us, but most of them do. I mean, for Christ's sake, Pino, they grew up on my food. On my food. I'm very proud of that. Now, you may think it's funny, but I'm very proud of that.
我跟這些人從來沒鬧過什麼矛盾。 我就坐在這扇窗邊。 我看著這些小傢伙一天天長大。 看著那些老人一年年老去。 是啊，有些人是不待見我們，可大多數人都挺好。 我說，老天爺啊，皮諾，他們可是吃我的飯長大的。 吃我的飯。我特別為這個驕傲。 你可能覺得這好笑，可我真的很驕傲。
下一章 · 12be down願意支援這場戲：為名人牆拉人抵制披薩店字面是「在這裡待下去」，實際是「會長期存在、不會消失」。薩爾用它回應兒子賣店的提議，等於說這家披薩店會一直開下去，別指望他搬。
Do your friends put money in your pocket? put money in your pocket 就是「給人帶來實際收入」。薩爾用這句話反駁皮諾：笑話你的朋友可不會給你錢。
意思接近「自以為最懂、替別人做主」。薩爾問 You really think you know what's best for us?，是在懟兒子：你真覺得自己替全家拿得了主意？帶點諷刺。
字面是「頭頂上的屋頂」，指「遮風擋雨的住處」。薩爾連問朋友有沒有給你交房租、有沒有給你住處，就是在說他們沒出力。
grew up on 是「從小吃……長大」。they grew up on my food 說的是這些街坊從小吃薩爾做的飯。聊童年、家鄉口味時，常說 I grew up on my mom's cooking。
