這場戲：兌貨發家並籌謀大劫案
第 20 章 · 共 28 章 · 3'03"
亨利把從匹茲堡進的貨悄悄兌開，越做越大，It was a real score（大賺了一筆），還付了房子首付，things were really rolling（一切順風順水）。他乾脆拉吉米和湯米 come in with me（入夥），開始張羅那樁後來被稱為美國史上最大劫案的案子。想學怎麼用英語講發財、拉人合夥和放狠話，這裡很帶感。
「一切順風順水」英語說 things were really rolling
sneaking around 偷偷摸摸、東躲西藏a real score 大賺一筆a down payment 首付things were really rolling 一切順風順水
亨利出獄後靠從匹茲堡進的貨重新起家：他小心地 sneaking around（偷偷摸摸）把貨兌開出手，It was a real score（大賺了一筆），用賺來的錢付了房子首付，生意 things were really rolling（順風順水）。他隔三差五跟桑迪說句我愛她，就能接著用她的地方。生意做大後，他拉吉米和湯米 come in with me（入夥一起幹）。吉米隨後開始籌謀那樁劫案，說這一票能讓法航那樁案子 look like peanuts（顯得微不足道），目標就是 the Lufthansa heist（漢莎航空劫案），美國史上最大的一宗。想學講賺錢、拉夥和吹大計劃時的英語，這裡很典型。
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。
“But when I did, it was a real score.”
可一旦出手，就是狠狠賺了一筆。
短句裡全是翻身感，前一秒還在偷偷摸摸，後一秒就賺翻了。
But when I did, it was ...
講自己熬過難關終於得手時用；對還在努力的人說會顯得炫耀。
But once it worked, it really paid off. ／ When it finally happened, it was a big win.
口語
when I did 輕讀，real score 重讀，句尾放平。
But when I did, it was a real score for the whole team. 可真談成了，整個團隊都賺到了。
“All I had to do was every once in a while tell Sandy that I loved her.”
我要做的，不過是隔三差五跟桑迪說一句我愛她。
把感情也寫進成本賬，一句輕描淡寫就露出這個人的涼薄。
All I had to do was ...
把一件麻煩事說得很輕鬆時用；用來談感情會顯得輕浮。
The only thing I had to do was show up. ／ My part was simply to keep her happy.
口語
All I had to do 連讀，once in a while 輕帶，loved her 收輕。
All I had to do was send one email a week. 我要做的不過是每週發一封郵件。
“No more nut every week. No more bullshit. My dream comes true.”
再也不用每週掏那份錢了。再也不用扯這些淡。我的夢想成真了。
三個短句連甩，把一個賭徒兼騙子終於熬出頭的心態喊得痛快。
No more ..., no more ... . My dream comes true.
熬過一段苦日子、終於鬆口氣時用；正式場合把 bullshit 換掉。
No more late nights, no more excuses. ／ That is it, the hard part is over.
口語
No more 兩句重讀，bullshit 壓低，dream comes true 上揚。
No more overtime every week, no more stress. My plan worked. 再也不用每週加班，再也不用緊繃。我的計劃奏效了。
“I had a down payment on my house and things were really rolling.”
我付了房子的首付，事情正一路順下去。
把犯罪生意的順遂落在房子首付這種最普通的里程碑上，反而更刺人。
things were really rolling
說事情走上正軌時能用；在正式彙報裡別用這種口語，換成進展順利更穩。
I made a down payment and everything took off ／ Life was finally moving in the right direction
中性
down payment 連讀，rolling 重音在前、尾音輕。
I paid off my car and the side business was really rolling. 我還清了車貸，副業也真正做起來了。
下一章 · 21bulls條子這場戲：露富買車招來條子score 在俚語裡指「成功到手的一筆」，a real score 就是「大賺一筆、狠狠賺了一票」。這裡亨利把匹茲堡那批貨出手，用的就是這個說法。
every once in a while，表示隔一陣子偶爾一次。亨利說自己只要隔三差五跟桑迪說句我愛她，就能一直用她的地方，用的就是這個片語。
字面是花生，但這裡比喻「顯得微不足道、小得可憐」。吉米說這一票能讓法航那樁案子 look like peanuts，就是嫌之前的案子太小。
意思是「入夥、跟著一起幹」，多指加入某樁生意或計劃。So I got Jimmy and Tommy to come in with me 就是「我拉了吉米和湯米入夥」。
不是「堅果」，而是賭局、牌局裡每週要交的固定份子錢。No more nut every week 就是「再也不用每週交那份錢了」，是亨利最痛快的一句。
