這場戲：教何俊念聖經
第 2 章 · 共 22 章 · 2'24"
穆爾卡希神父正教食堂夥計何俊念《聖經》，何俊一句 my cup runneth over（福杯滿溢）念得認真，旁邊的軍醫卻聽得一頭霧水。神父教的是 how to read（怎麼讀），軍醫更直接，掏出一本帶圖的書，說看圖更好學。想聊怎麼教人、怎麼開口提建議，這兩句都用得上。
勸人換個學法：I tell you what（這麼著吧）
my cup runneth over 福杯滿溢、幸福到極點how to read 怎麼讀、識字tell you what 這麼著吧、聽我說a lot of 很多
新來的軍醫鷹眼和杜克剛踏進營地，雷達就迎上來張羅住處，還順手要把那輛吉普的編號改掉。另一邊，穆爾卡希神父正教食堂夥計何俊念《聖經》，何俊唸到 my cup runneth over（福杯滿溢）念得一臉認真，旁邊的軍醫聽得雲裡霧裡。神父是在 how to read（教他怎麼讀），軍醫卻覺得看圖識字更快，掏出一本書說 I tell you what（這麼著吧），圖畫多，學起來容易。值得學的有三句：my cup runneth over 形容一個人幸福到極點、什麼都不缺；how to read 是教人識字、告訴別人怎麼做；tell you what 是開口提建議、引人注意時的口頭禪。想在聊天裡自然地提建議、解釋一件事，這幾句都很實用。
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。
“Radar! Oh, Corporal O'Reilly. Gentlemen, I'm Corporal O'Reilly. They call me Radar.”
雷達！哦，奧賴利下士。各位，我是奧賴利下士。大夥都叫我雷達。
正式姓名加外號一次報完，人物出場立刻有了性格。
They call me ...
自我介紹時想用一個外號拉近距離可以用；面試或正式場合別隻報外號。
Everyone calls me Radar. ／ People know me as Radar.
口語
Corporal O'Reilly 念清，They call me 連讀，Radar 重讀。
I'm Alex, but they call me Sunny. 我叫亞歷克斯，不過大夥都叫我「陽光」。
“Get everything out of the jeep. Don't worry about the jeep. I'll change the numbers.”
把吉普里的東西都卸下來。吉普的事別擔心，編號我來換。
把偷車說得像日常雜務，越淡定越好笑，人物也立住了。
Don't worry about ..., I'll ...
安慰別人「這事我來搞定」時用；涉及違法或責任的事別這麼輕描淡寫。
Leave it to me. ／ Don't worry, I'll sort it out.
口語
Don't worry about 輕快帶過，I'll change 重讀。
Don't worry about the report. I'll fix the numbers tonight. 報表的事別擔心，數字我今晚來改。
“Don't you trust that man. He's a mad dog.”
別信那個人。他就是條瘋狗。
一個比喻就把警告說透，短、狠、好記。
He's a mad dog.
背後警示別人提防某人時用；當面說等於撕破臉，別輕易開口。
He's dangerous. ／ Stay away from that one.
口語
Don't you 連讀，mad dog 兩個重音都要砸下去。
Don't trust that dealer. He's a mad dog when he loses. 別信那個賣家，他一輸就發瘋。
“This is Ho-Jon. He's one of our mess hall boys. I'm teaching him how to read.”
這是何俊。他是我們食堂的夥計，我在教他識字。
介紹一個人順帶說明自己在做的事，資訊全又帶點溫度。
This is ..., he's one of our ..., I'm teaching him ...
向別人介紹熟人、同時說明彼此關係時用；對陌生人別替對方做主介紹。
This is Ho-Jon, he helps in the mess. ／ I'm teaching him to read.
中性
This is 輕讀，mess hall boys 連讀，teaching him 重讀。
This is Marco, he's one of our interns. I'm teaching him the ropes. 這是馬可，我們這兒的實習生，我正帶他上手。
“Listen. I tell you what. I got a book here. It's got a lot of pictures in it, and I think it's easier to learn how to read when you look at pictures.”
聽著，我跟你說。我這兒有本書，裡面圖畫很多。我覺得看圖識字更容易。
不勸不逼，只把更好的辦法擺出來，熱心又不居高臨下。
I think it's easier to ... when ...
給別人提建議、說自己為什麼更推薦某種方法時用；命令同事別用這句。
It's easier to learn when you see pictures. ／ I find pictures help a lot.
中性
I tell you what 一口氣帶過，easier to 連讀，when you 輕讀。
I think it's easier to remember words when you see them used. 我覺得看著詞被用出來，更容易記住。
“Jesus Christ. What's all that about?”
我的天。這都什麼跟什麼？
一句感嘆配上滿頭問號，把外人對宗教場面的錯愕演活了。
What's all that about?
看到莫名其妙的場面、想表達看不懂時用；對當事人說會顯得冒犯。
What was that all about? ／ What on earth is going on?
口語
Jesus Christ 壓低，all that about 尾音上揚。
What's all that about? Nobody explained the new rules. 這都什麼跟什麼？新規定也沒人解釋過。
下一章 · 03push someone around呼來喝去這場戲：求長官把隨軍牧師調走它出自《聖經》，字面是「我的杯子滿溢位來」，日常用來形容一個人幸福到極點、什麼都不缺、心滿意足。別人過得好、聊到滿足感時都能用，比只說 happy 更有畫面。
mad dog。別人提醒你別輕信某人、覺得對方很危險又很兇時，可以說 He's a mad dog（他就是條瘋狗）。語氣很重，通常用在背後警告別人，別當面罵人。
它是開口引人注意、準備提建議或做決定時的口頭禪，意思是「這麼著吧、聽我說」。後面接你要說的話，比如 I tell you what, I got a book here，相當於「這樣吧，我這兒有本書」。
兩個都對。how to do something 表示「怎麼做某事」，teaching him how to read 就是「教他怎麼讀、教他識字」。教別人任何技能都能套這個結構，比如 how to swim、how to cook。
can't afford 是「負擔不起」，強調某筆開銷超出能力，比 no money 更具體、更正式。I can't afford the trip 就是「這趟行程我負擔不起」，買東西、談預算時很常用。
