這場戲：戰爭結束後道別捱打
第 17 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'19"
戰爭結束後，克倫岑多夫對喬喬說 I'm sorry about Rosie（羅茜的事，我很抱歉），還說 She was a good person（她是個好人），叮囑他 Now, go home. Look after that sister of yours（回家吧，照顧好你那個姐姐）。可人群很快認出喬喬是納粹，場面眼看要失控，幸好約基回來把他拉走。想學告別、安慰和捱罵時的英語，很值得看。

sorry about 為某事感到抱歉、難過good person 好人been meaning to tell you 一直想跟你說take a look at 看一看、打量一下
戰敗那天，街頭一片 hysteria（歇斯底里）。克倫岑多夫先為羅茜道歉：I'm sorry about Rosie. She was a good person（羅茜的事我很抱歉，她是個好人），還誇喬喬的書很有創意，說 I've been meaning to tell you（我一直想跟你說）。他讓喬喬回家，Now, go home. Look after that sister of yours（現在回家吧，照顧好你那個姐姐）。可話音剛落，人群就認出他穿著納粹制服，對他喊 Get away（滾開）；喬喬辯解，卻沒人聽。幸好約基出現，把他從人群裡帶走。戰爭結束了，喬喬卻一點不輕鬆：It's definitely not a good time to be a Nazi（現在當納粹肯定不是好時候）。想學道歉、安慰和捱罵時的英語，這裡很扎心。

下一章 · 18for old time's sake看在往日情分上這場戲：識破假信後決心出逃意思是「一直想跟你說」，用現在完成進行時強調這個念頭已經憋了很久。I've been meaning to tell you 常用來引出遲到的真心話，比 I want to tell you 更有分量。
hysteria，指失控的情緒或集體性的恐慌。臺詞裡用一句 Hysteria, my friend 來解釋街頭的混亂，畫面感很強，也能形容一個人的歇斯底里。
意思是「說得通、講得通」。Nothing makes sense anymore 就是「現在什麼都不對勁了」，常用來形容局勢或說法讓人無法理解。
not a good time to do something。It's definitely not a good time to be a Nazi 就是「現在當納粹肯定不是好時候」，句式很簡單：It's not a good time to + 動詞。
I'm sorry about + 事情。I'm sorry about Rosie 就是「羅茜的事，我很抱歉」，用於為已經發生的壞事表達難過，比只道歉多一些哀悼意味。
