這場戲：拿私事調侃逼到失控
第 9 章 · 共 22 章 · 3'24"
早晨的營地，鷹眼揪著弗蘭克不放，當眾追問他熱唇 in the sack（在床上）怎麼樣，還追問她叫不叫；弗蘭克一句 Mind your own business（管好你自己的事）根本擋不住。圍攻越逼越緊，他落得個當眾 gone nuts（發瘋）的下場。想學怎麼用英語擠對人、又怎麼用一句話把話擋回去，這段又壞又好笑。

早上，鷹眼當著一群人的面，把弗蘭克架在那裡逼問私事：熱唇 in the sack（在床上）怎麼樣，她的大屁股動不動，她叫不叫。弗蘭克一句 Mind your own business（管好你自己的事）根本不管用，圍攻沒完沒了，他當場 gone nuts（發瘋），抓住鷹眼大喊 Get him off me（把他從我身上弄開），旁邊的人還在起鬨，提醒 Watch out for（當心）別中招。事後拿這件既成事實開玩笑，就說 a done thing（木已成舟）。想學怎麼用英語擠對人、又怎麼把話擋回去，這幾句全用得上。
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。
“It was the most uplifting program I have ever heard.”
這是我這輩子聽過最振奮人心的節目。
拿最正經的形容詞去誇一段黃腔錄音，反話說到極致。
It was the most ... I have ever ...
半開玩笑夸人誇事時用；聽不懂反話的人會當真。
That was the funniest thing I have ever heard. ／ I have never heard anything quite like it.
正式
most 加重，have ever 連讀，heard 收平。
It was the most original dish I have ever tasted. 這是我吃過最有「創意」的一道菜。
“It's not like her to act like this. No, she usually doesn't.”
她平常不這樣。對，她一般不會這樣。
一句反常判斷，把人物的失態點得清清楚楚。
It's not like someone to ...
發現某人反常時用；對不熟的人下這種判斷容易失禮。
This is not like her at all. ／ She never behaves like this.
中性
not like her 連讀，結尾 this 輕收。
It's not like him to miss a deadline. 他平常不會誤期的。
“Too late, sir. It's a done thing. Oh, well, thank you very much.”
太遲了，長官，已經辦好了。哦，那太謝謝您了。
用「木已成舟」四個字，把討好也說得乾脆利落。
It's a done thing.
事情已經辦成、無法回頭時用；做錯事時這樣說像推卸。
It's a done deal. ／ It is already taken care of.
中性
Too late 短促有力，done thing 連讀。
They signed this morning, so it's a done thing. 他們今早簽了字，這事已經定了。
“Well, it couldn't have been helped.”
唉，那也怪不得誰。
一句輕描淡寫的寬慰，把責任悄悄挪開，還顯得體面。
It couldn't have been helped.
事已至此、要給對方臺階下時用；受害者聽了會覺得敷衍。
There was nothing anyone could do. ／ It was out of our hands.
中性
couldn't have been 連讀，helped 收尾輕。
The flight was canceled, so it couldn't have been helped. 航班取消了，這也是沒辦法的事。
“Oh, Frank Burns and Hawkeye Pierce. Very encouraging.”
哦，弗蘭克·伯恩斯和鷹眼·皮爾斯。真是鼓舞人心。
兩個名字加三個字，就把官腔和荒誕同時擺上桌。
... Very encouraging.
用反話點評荒唐場面時用；正式彙報裡不能這麼諷刺。
Very impressive. ／ Just what we needed.
口語
Very encouraging 用平調，故意不帶起伏。
Two managers and no plan. Very encouraging. 兩個經理，沒有計劃。真讓人「放心」。
“Watch out for your goodies, Hawkeye. That man is a sex maniac.”
當心你的要害，鷹眼。那傢伙是個色情狂。
把一場打架喊成下流警告，慌亂裡全是喜劇節奏。
Watch out for ... That man is a ...
拉架、起鬨時喊著玩可以；任何認真場合都別這麼說。
Mind your valuables, that guy is trouble. ／ Careful, he is out of control.
口語
Watch out 重讀，sex maniac 兩詞都壓重音。
Watch out for your camera, that fan is wild. 當心你的相機，那個球迷瘋得很。
“I don't think Hot Lips satisfied him. Gonna kill him.”
我看熱唇沒讓他滿足。他要殺人了。
把最粗的猜測和最短的預言並排放，冷得讓人發笑。
I don't think ... Gonna ...
熟人之間看熱鬧時用；涉及隱私和暴力就別學了。
Guess that did not go well. He is about to blow. ／ He is not happy, and he is going to snap.
口語
don't think 連讀，Gonna kill him 短促。
I don't think that went well. Gonna blow up. 我看這事沒談成。要炸了。
下一章 · 10see a man about a tooth含糊地告辭這場戲：牌桌上聽出隱情這是口語裡指「在床上、性方面」的說法，sack 本意是麻袋、床鋪。戲裡問 what Hot Lips was like in the sack，就是在打聽她在那方面怎麼樣，屬於很冒犯的葷話。
可以說 Mind your own business，也可以說得更衝一點 Mind your own damn business。它是回絕別人打聽隱私時的固定說法，戲裡弗蘭克被問急了就用了這句。
口語裡常說 go nuts 或 go mad。戲裡有人喊 Frank Burns has gone nuts，直譯就是「弗蘭克·伯恩斯瘋了」，用來形容一個人徹底失控、做出反常舉動。
可以用 a done thing，也可以說 it's done。意思是事情已經辦完、無法挽回。戲裡那句 It's a done thing，就是「已經辦妥了」，用來回應別人說「本來不必」。
nervous breakdown 是「精神崩潰」，多指撐不住、病倒那種嚴重狀態；gone nuts 是口語的「瘋了」，可以只是形容一時失控、發狂。戲裡兩個說法都出現了，輕重不一樣。
