這場戲：好友盼他離開
第 19 章 · 共 21 章 · 5'01"
查基和威爾喝酒閒聊，查基突然說別 take this the wrong way（往壞處想）——他每天開車接威爾，最盼的是敲門時人已經走了。因為威爾 sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket（手裡攥著中獎彩票），卻從來不敢去兌。最狠的朋友話，往往是捨不得你留下的那種。學這兩句，看懂朋友的「反話」。
❝ 獨白 · 9 句 最棒的一段是等你離開：the best part of my day（我一天裡最美好的時刻）
come by 順路過來、到訪the best part of my day 一天裡最美好的時刻pull up to the kerb 把車停到路邊
❝ 獨白 · 10 句 尚恩的護犢陳詞
一連串反問把威爾的防禦機制講得一針見血。
查基和威爾喝酒，查基說了重話：別 take this the wrong way（往壞處想）。他每天開車接威爾，最美好的十秒是從車停到路邊、走到門口那段——他盼著敲門時威爾已經不在。因為威爾 sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket（手裡攥著中獎彩票），有天賦卻不敢兌現。查基說，我願意拿一切換你有的東西。接著傑拉德怪尚恩把孩子逼走，尚恩頂回去，說威爾 pushes people away（把人推開），是怕對方先離開。這些說法適合勸朋友、表白立場，也適合聽懂狠話背後的好意。
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。
“You know what the best part of my day is?”
你知道我一天裡最棒的是哪一段嗎？
不說大道理，用十秒鐘的期待把友情說透。
You know what the best part of my day is?
對親近的人講自己最珍惜的小事時用；正式彙報裡別這麼開場。
You know my favourite moment of the day? ／ Want to know what I look forward to?
口語
best part of 連讀，句尾輕揚，在引對方聽下去。
You know what the best part of my week is? 你知道我這週最開心的是哪一段嗎？
“Don't you do that. Don't infect him with the idea that it's okay to quit.”
你別來這套。別把「放棄也沒關係」這種念頭傳染給他。
把壞念頭比成傳染病，一句就顯出他對威爾的護。
Don't infect someone with the idea that ...
勸阻別人別把消極想法帶給年輕人時用；對同事直說會顯得在教訓人。
Don't put that idea in his head. ／ Don't pass that attitude on to him.
中性
Don't you do that 每個詞咬清，infect him 連讀。
Don't infect the kids with the idea that winning is everything. 別把「贏才是一切」的念頭傳給孩子。
“I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket.”
我是說，你手裡攥著一張中了獎的彩票。
用一張彩票說清天分，比誇聰明更扎人。
be sitting on a winning lottery ticket
說某人白白浪費好條件時用；當面說可能像指責。
You're holding a winning ticket. ／ You've got gold in your hands.
口語
sittin' on a 連讀，winnin' lottery 重音落在 lot。
With her voice, she is sitting on a winning lottery ticket. 憑她那副嗓子，簡直攥著一張中獎彩票。
“'Cause I'd do fuckin' anything to have what you got.”
因為我願意做任何事，就為了擁有你有的東西。
最好的朋友把嫉妒和愛一次說完，酸澀又真誠。
I'd do anything to have what you got.
說出自己對別人的羨慕時能用，對最親的朋友說最合適，別在工作中露這種情緒。
I'd give anything to be in your shoes. ／ I wish I had what you have.
口語
'Cause I'd 連讀，fuckin' anything 一帶，have what you got 重讀。
I'd work nights for years to have the chance you got. 為了你拿到的機會，我願意拼上好幾年夜班。
Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by your house and I pick you up. And we go out and we have a few drinks and a few laughs, and it's great. You know what the best part of my day is? For about ten seconds, from when I pull up to the kerb and when I get to your door. 'Cause I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door... and you won't be there. No "goodbye," no "see ya later. " No nothin'. You just left. I don't know much, but I know that.
我來告訴你我知道什麼。 每天我開車到你家門口，把你接上。 然後我們出去喝幾杯，笑一笑，那感覺真好。 你知道我一天裡最棒的是哪一段嗎？ 大概有十秒鐘，從我車停到路邊，到我走到你家門口。 因為我會想，也許我上去敲敲門…… 你不在。 沒有「再見」，沒有「回頭見」。什麼都沒有。你就這麼走了。 我懂的不多，但這個我懂。
Gerry, listen to me. Listen. Why is he hiding? Why doesn't he trust anybody? Because the first thing that happened to him, he was abandoned by the people who were supposed to love him the most. - Oh, come on, don't give me that Freudian crap. - Oh, no, listen, Gerry. And why does he hang out with those retarded gorillas, as you call them? Because any one of them, if you asked them to, would take a fuckin' bat to your head. Okay? - That's called loyalty. - Yeah, that's very touching. And who is he handling? He pushes people away before they have a chance to leave him. It's a defence mechanism, all right? And if you push him right now, it's gonna be the same thing all over again. And I'm not gonna let that happen to him.
傑瑞，聽我說。你聽。他為什麼要躲？為什麼誰都不信？ 因為發生在他身上的第一件事，就是被最該愛他的人拋棄了。 ——哦，得了吧，別跟我扯那套弗洛伊德。——哦，不，你聽著，傑瑞。 那他為什麼跟那幫你口中的蠢大猩猩混在一起？ 因為那幫人裡隨便哪個，你開個口，都會掄起棒子砸你腦袋。懂嗎？ ——那叫義氣。——是啊，真感人。 那是誰在收拾誰？他在別人有機會離開他之前，先把人推開。 這是種防禦機制，明白嗎？ 你現在要逼他，一切又會重來一遍。 我不會讓這種事發生在他身上。
下一章 · 20I am what I am我就是我這場戲：反覆說不是你的錯字面是「用錯方式理解」，實際就是「別誤會、別往壞處想」。要說點對方不愛聽的話，常先用它打預防針：Don't take this the wrong way, but...
sit on a winning lottery ticket，就是「佔著好機會卻不用」。查基用它說威爾：有天賦有出路，卻困在南波士頓不去兌現。
意思是「我一天裡最美好的時刻」，指一天中最期待的一小段：You know what the best part of my day is? 用它引出一件小事，比直接說 I like it 更有畫面。
can't stand 是「受不了、忍不了」，強調一見到就煩，語氣比 hate 更口語、更強烈，常接人或事：I can't stand that look.
touching 本身是「感人」，但配上冷冷的語氣就是反諷，等於「說得真好聽」。電影裡傑拉德聽尚恩說那幫人肯為威爾出頭，冷冷回的就是這一句。
口語裡指「幫忙牽線、安排」，常指介紹工作或機會：They gonna hook you up with a job? 就是「他們要給你安排工作嗎」。
