這場戲：被罵出房間後學反向心理
第 5 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'21"
喬喬想趕走閣樓裡的艾莎，結果碰了一鼻子灰。幻想中的阿道夫來支招：In fact, you could use it to your advantage（其實，你還能把它變成你的優勢），辦法是「反向心理」——make her feel safe（讓她覺得安全），等 her guard（她的警惕）一鬆，掌控局面的人就是你。想學怎麼用英語出主意、講策略，這段又好笑又損。
❝ 獨白 · 20 句 「把它變成你的優勢」英語說 use it to your advantage
to your advantage 化為優勢blow me up 把我炸掉in actual fact 事實上drop her guard 放鬆警惕
喬喬衝閣樓喊話，要艾莎 find somewhere else to live（另找個地方住），卻被她一句 Get the hell out of my room（給我滾出我的房間）頂了回去。幻想中的阿道夫接著登場，先嫌棄的說 That's just my two Pfennige（這只是我的一點小意見），再教喬喬一招：In fact, you could use it to your advantage（其實，你還能把它變成你的優勢）。他的辦法叫 reverse psychology（反向心理）——make her feel safe（讓她覺得安全），等 she'll drop her guard（她放鬆警惕），掌控局面的人就是你。臨走還抖了個包袱：We're having unicorn for dinner（今晚我家吃獨角獸）。想學出主意、講策略和吐槽的英語，這一章很好笑。

“Get the hell out of my room.”
給我滾出我的房間。
被趕出自己房間的荒誕全在這句粗話裡，簡短、兇狠、好笑。
Get the hell out of + 地方
極度生氣趕人時用；非常粗魯，對朋友玩笑著說都可能翻臉，正式場合絕不能用。
Get out of here. ／ Get the hell out of my house.
口語
the hell 重讀，out of 連讀成 ou-ra，句尾降調砸下去。
Get the hell off my porch before I call someone. 趕緊從我家門廊滾開，不然我叫人了。
“Stop offering me damned cigarettes! I'm ten!”
別再遞給我那該死的煙了！我才十歲！
把兒童的抗議和成年人的髒話放在一起，反差本身就是笑點。
Stop offering me + 名詞!
煩透別人一直遞東西時用；Stop offering me 是直白命令，對長輩說會顯得衝。
Stop offering me more cake. ／ Quit passing me those forms.
口語
Stop offering me 連讀，damned 重讀，I'm ten 兩個詞頓開。
Stop offering me drinks; I am driving tonight. 別再勸我喝了，我今晚開車。
“In fact, you could use it to your advantage.”
其實，你還能把它變成你的優勢。
一句輕巧的轉折，把被動捱整說成可以反手利用的資源。
use something to your advantage
勸人把不利條件反過來利用時用；工作、談判、比賽都合適，語氣積極。
turn it to your advantage ／ make the most of it
中性
use it to 連讀，your advantage 裡重音在 van 上。
Use the delay to your advantage and prepare a better pitch. 把這段延誤利用起來，準備一個更好的方案。
“The only reason I survived, apart from having bombproof legs, is because I outwitted old von Stauffy.”
我能活下來，除了這雙腿防彈之外，唯一的原因是智取了老施陶菲。
把逃過暗殺說成腿好加聰明，吹牛吹得認真，才格外可笑。
The only reason ... is because ...
強調唯一原因時用；敘述經歷、解釋結果都合適，書面口語都常見。
The only reason we won is that we trained harder. ／ The sole reason is his stubbornness.
口語
only reason 連讀，apart from 稍停，is because 弱讀帶過。
The only reason I am late is because the bus broke down. 我遲到的唯一原因是公交拋錨了。
“make her feel safe and then she'll drop her guard and then you will be the one in control.”
讓她覺得安全，她就會放鬆警惕，然後掌控局面的人就是你。
三步計劃說得像兵法，可主語是個十歲小孩和一個藏起來的女孩。
make someone feel safe and then ...
講談判或相處策略時可用這個因果鏈；日常給建議也行，別說成操控別人。
set them at ease and then make your move ／ win their trust first, then decide
中性
and then 反覆出現，一次比一次快，in control 收尾降調。
Make them feel safe and then ask for the bigger order. 先讓對方安心，再談更大的單子。
“We're having unicorn for dinner at my place tonight.”
今晚我家吃獨角獸。
用一個童話動物就把這場嚴肅密謀說成了小孩過家家。
We're having + 食物 + at my place
邀約或隨口報菜名時用；at my place 很口語，正式邀請用 at my home。
We're having pizza at my place. ／ Dinner is at my flat tonight.
口語
having unicorn 連讀，at my place 三個詞輕快帶過。
We're having dumplings at my place on Sunday. 週日來我家吃餃子。
“That's just my two Pfennige.”
這只是我的一點小意見。
把英語俗語裡的硬幣換成德國芬尼，一句就交代了時代和人物。
That's just my two + 貨幣
提完意見後自謙時用；my two cents 是固定說法，換成別的貨幣是本地化玩笑。
That's just my two cents. ／ Just my two cents' worth.
口語
just my 弱讀，two Pfennige 重讀，句尾輕收。
That is just my two cents, but the title needs work. 只是個人看法，標題還得改改。
Okay, let's talk like turkeys. You can't tell your mother or that Jew will cut off your Nazi head, but there's no reason this thing in the attic needs to ruin your life. In fact, you could use it to your advantage. How? When someone tries to use mind powers on me, know what I do? Use mind powers back on them. Remember last year when that one-arm pirate von Stauffenberg tried to blow me up with a table bomb? Yeah, you survived. Correctomundo. The only reason I survived, apart from having bombproof legs, is because I outwitted old von Stauffy. I let him think that I was dead, when in actual fact, I was absolutely fine. By pretending I was dead, I drew out all the traitors. So what are you going to do? Pretend I'm dead? Exactly. Wait, no. No, what I mean is this: make her feel safe and then she'll drop her guard and then you will be the one in control. - Reverse psychology. - Don't complicate things. Just use my backwards mind power trick, and everything will be fine.
好吧，咱們來談點正事。 你不能告訴你媽媽，不然那猶太人會砍掉你這納粹的腦袋， 但沒道理讓閣樓裡那個東西毀了你的生活。 其實，你還能把它變成你的優勢。 怎麼變？ 有人想對我用精神控制時，知道我怎麼幹嗎？ 反過來對他們用精神控制。 記得去年那個獨臂海盜施陶芬貝格想用公文包炸彈把我炸死嗎？ 記得，你活下來了。 完全正確。 我能活下來，除了這雙腿防彈之外，唯一的原因是智取了老施陶菲。 我讓他以為我死了，可實際上我一點事都沒有。 靠裝死，我把所有叛徒都引了出來。 那你打算怎麼辦？ 裝死？ 沒錯。等等，不是。 不，我的意思是： 讓她覺得安全，她就會放鬆警惕，然後掌控局面的人就是你。 ——反向心理。——別把事情搞複雜。 只管用我那套反著來的精神控制法，一切都會沒事的。
下一章 · 06get over接受並放下這場戲：夜歸哄睡還替藏人打掩護意思是「反向心理」，指不直接命令對方，而是反著引導，讓他自己往你想要的方向走。這裡阿道夫的意思是先讓艾莎放鬆，再反過來掌控她。
use it to your advantage，advantage 指「優勢」。use something to your advantage 就是「把某樣東西化為自己的優勢」，把麻煩變成籌碼時最常用。
guard 在這裡指「戒備心」，drop one's guard 就是「放鬆警惕、卸下戒備」。阿道夫說要先讓她覺得安全，她才會 drop her guard，然後你才能掌控。
blow someone up，指用炸藥把某人炸死。臺詞裡說 von Stauffenberg tried to blow me up with a table bomb，就是「想用公文包炸彈把我炸死」。
Pfennige 是德國輔幣芬尼，這句等於英文的 my two cents，意思是「這只是我的一點小意見」。阿道夫用它表示自己只是隨口一說。
