in the wrong hands換人就砸了

先把角色的缺點一口氣列全，再用 in the wrong hands 一轉，點出選角的兇險。既是對角色的誠實剖析，也是對演員的極高讚美。

In the wrong hands, you don't like ...

分析一個角色或作品為什麼成敗在於人選時用，專業、有見地；日常夸人時別用這種先貶後揚的重話。

In the wrong hands, this role would be unbearable. ／ Cast badly, and nobody roots for her.

口語

self-involved 快速帶過，in the wrong hands 稍停，you don't like Rachel 放慢收。

In the wrong hands, you don't root for the hero at all. 落到不會演的人手裡，你根本不會為這個主角加油。

In the wrong hands, this charming lead becomes unbearable. 落到不會演的人手裡，這個討喜的主角會變得讓人受不了。

把選角的標準說成一句共情：觀眾必須先感受到羅斯的感受，情節才成立。短短一句，道破錶演的關鍵是讓觀眾替角色心跳。

You needed to feel what ... was feeling.

強調要讓觀眾或對方代入某個角色的感受時用，口語、有共鳴；講純邏輯推理時別用這種共情說法。

You had to feel it the way he did. ／ The audience needed to be inside his head.

you needed to 連讀，feel what Ross was feeling 逐詞放慢收。

You needed to feel what the narrator was feeling to care. 你得感受到敘述者的心情，才會真的關心。

spins the lines in a way that they're his 用一種轉換的比喻誇演技：詞還是那些詞，經他一說就歸他了。比直接說演得好高明得多。

He spins the lines in a way that they're his.

誇某個演員或講者把材料講成自己的語氣時用，口語、有畫面；批評照本宣科時不要用這個褒義說法。

He makes every line sound like his own. ／ The words become his the moment he says them.

口語

He spins the lines 連讀，in a way 稍停，that they're his 放慢收。

She spins the script in a way that it's hers. 她能把講稿轉成自己的東西。

He spins every joke in a way that it's his. 他每個笑話都能說成自己的。

用 made ... so much richer than what we had originally intended 把演員的貢獻和編劇的初衷放在一起對比，既專業又由衷，是行業裡最得體的讚美。

made ... so much richer than what we had intended

感謝某人為作品增添了超出預期的價值時用，正式、真誠；隨口客套感謝別用這麼鄭重的比較句。

She brought far more to it than we wrote. ／ The role became richer than we imagined.
