這場戲：拿槍逼問出軌丈夫
第 16 章 · 共 28 章 · 2'52"
凱倫查到丈夫情人的名字，電話裡一句 You keep away from my husband（你離我丈夫遠點）火力全開，還衝到樓下堵人。回家後她舉槍對著亨利，最後卻下不了手。後來亨利反過來一句 How does it feel?（現在什麼滋味？）把場面點狠。想學吵架時怎麼宣示主權、怎麼用一句反問噎住對方，這段最帶感。
「離……遠點」是 keep away from
hang up on 結束通話某人的電話keep away from 離某人遠一點want you to know 想讓你知道Do you hear me 你聽見沒有

凱倫查到丈夫情人叫賈妮絲，打電話過去撂下一句 You keep away from my husband（你離我丈夫遠點），又打給樓管告狀，還跑到樓下堵門。回到家她舉起了槍，說自己 crazy enough to kill both of you（瘋到能把你倆都殺了），逼問 Do you love her?（你愛她嗎？）。可亨利的表白和求饒讓她放下了槍。事後她道出真心話：不管多受傷，她就是 bring myself to（狠不下心）離開他，還反問 Why should I give him to someone else?（我憑什麼把他讓給別人？）。想學吃醋、攤牌、放狠話又心軟的全套英語，這段最全。

“You keep away from my husband, you hear me?”
你離我丈夫遠點，聽見沒有？
一句話把佔有、威脅和警告全壓進去，末尾的 you hear me 最扎人。
You keep away from X, you hear me?
當面警告第三者或劃清界限時用；對長輩、同事這樣喊會翻臉。
Stay away from him, do you hear me? ／ Back off my husband, understand?
口語
keep away 連讀，you hear me 降調砸下來。
You keep away from my seat, you hear me? 你離我座位遠點，聽見沒有？
“I'm crazy enough to kill both of you.”
我瘋到能把你倆都殺了。
自認瘋狂反而更嚇人，enough to 把威脅說成了板上釘釘的事。
be + adj + enough to do something
半真半假地撂狠話時用；正式場合或對陌生人別說。
I'm angry enough to walk out right now. ／ He's desperate enough to try anything.
口語
crazy enough 連讀，to kill 重讀，句尾下壓。
I'm tired enough to quit this job today. 我累到今天就辭職。
“I couldn't even bring myself to leave him.”
我甚至狠不下心離開他。
把說不出口的軟弱講得乾淨，bring myself to 比 can't 更戳心。
can't bring oneself to do something
說自己下不了決心做某事時用；正式報告裡少用這種口語。
I can't bring myself to tell her the truth. ／ She couldn't bring herself to say no.
口語
couldn't even 吞音，bring myself to 連讀。
I can't bring myself to open the letter. 我實在沒勇氣拆那封信。
“Why should I give him to someone else?”
我憑什麼要把他讓給別人？
把不甘心說成一個反問，佔有、憤怒和不肯認輸全在裡面。
Why should I give X to someone else?
表達不服氣、不肯放手時能用；對當事人當面說這句會很傷人，別在談判或分手場合用。
Why should she get him instead of me? ／ What makes her more deserving than me?
口語
Why 起句上揚，someone else 重音在 else。
I built that account. Why should I hand it to someone else now? 那客戶是我做起來的。我現在憑什麼讓給別人？
But still I couldn't hurt him. How could I hurt him? I couldn't even bring myself to leave him. The truth was... that no matter how bad I felt... I was still very attracted to him. Why should I give him to someone else? Why should she win?
可我還是下不了手傷他。我怎麼可能傷他呢？ 我甚至狠不下心離開他。 事實是…… 不管我心裡多難受…… 我還是被他深深吸引。 我憑什麼把他讓給別人？ 憑什麼讓她贏？
下一章 · 17keep up appearances維持體面這場戲：勸人回家維持體面bring oneself to do something 是「下決心去做某件難做的事」，多用於否定，意思是狠不下心。I couldn't even bring myself to leave him 就是「我甚至狠不下心離開他」。
keep away from，比如 You keep away from my husband，就是「你離我丈夫遠點」。警告別人別靠近某人或某物時最常用。
take it easy，等於「冷靜點、別緊張」。對方情緒上頭時勸一句 Take it easy，比直接說 calm down 更自然。
字面是「感覺怎麼樣」，但常常是反問、帶刺。戲裡亨利回家被拿槍指著，反過來問 How does it feel?，等於「現在什麼滋味？」。
put it down 指「把某物放下」，it 指眼前那個東西。戲裡是勸凱倫把槍放下，就是 Put the gun down，本質還是 put it down。
