第 19 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'11"
深夜警官上門查執照，問了一句 Where did you obtain this license（你這張執照從哪兒領的），又說 I'm afraid this is not in order（恐怕這個有問題），當場把執照收走要送交鮑街。店主還想拉著警官喝一杯薑汁汽水，說 You can't refuse to wish me luck（你總不能不肯祝我走運吧）。

哈里深夜趕到菲格勒家，菲格勒直說他 Dead beat（累垮了），讓他喝口熱水、go upstairs（上樓）歇著，說 You need a little bit of life in you（你得提提神，身上添點活氣），還講店裡的琴被伯特彈得 He don't give it the care it wants（他根本不好好愛惜它）。警官登門後也客客氣氣，看了執照說 everything seems to be in order（看起來一切都沒問題），可一記編號就變了臉——I'm afraid this is not in order（恐怕這個有問題），Where did you obtain this license（你這張執照從哪兒領的），還說要把它送到鮑街當局。店主想拖住警官喝杯薑汁汽水：You can't refuse to wish me luck（你總不能不肯祝我走運吧），警官還是說了句 Good night（晚安）就走。
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。
“You need a little bit of life in you.”
你得提提神，身上添點活氣。
不說你太累，只說添點活氣，關心藏在家常話裡。
You need a little bit of ... in you.
關心別人氣色差時用；對長輩說要注意口氣。
You need some colour in your face. ／ A cup of tea will put some life in you.
口語
a little bit of 連讀，life 重讀，in you 輕收。
You need a little bit of rest in you before the trip. 出門前你得歇一歇，攢點精神。
“I hope so, ma'am. Just finished training school last month.”
希望是吧，女士。我上個月剛從警校畢業。
一句交代資歷，新人的拘謹和認真全在裡面。
Just finished ... last month.
說自己剛入行、資歷淺時用；正式場合要補上主語 I。
I only finished training last month. ／ I'm new to this beat.
中性
hope so 弱讀，ma'am 輕帶，last month 收尾。
Just finished my course last month, so I'm still learning. 我上個月剛結課，還在學。
“Where did you obtain this license, ma'am?”
您這張執照是從哪兒領的，女士？
用詞越正式，越顯得公事公辦，問句本身就是一種施壓。
Where did you obtain ...?
追問來路、走正式程式時用；日常聊天這樣說太生硬。
Where did you get this licence? ／ Who issued this licence to you?
正式
obtain 重讀，this license 連讀，ma'am 輕收。
Where did you obtain this permit, sir? 先生，您這張許可證是從哪兒領的？
“You can't be breaking many rules with a little ginger ale.”
喝杯薑汁汽水，算不上犯什麼大規矩。
用最輕的汽水去化解最硬的規矩，拐著彎勸人通融，機靈裡帶點江湖氣。
You can't be breaking many rules with a little [harmless thing].
求人通融、把違規說得很輕時用；對較真的執法人員說，可能反而惹人反感。
A little ginger ale won't break any rules. ／ One soft drink hardly counts as a violation.
口語
can't be 連讀，breaking many rules 加快，a little ginger ale 放慢收輕。
You can't be breaking many rules with a little five-minute delay. 就晚個五分鐘，算不上犯什麼大規矩。
指「被吊銷、除名」，多用於執照、資格被官方取消。原句說這家店被 listed as being struck off，就是「登記為停業、執照被吊銷」。
字面是「在你手肘邊」，引申為「守在身邊、隨叫隨到」。原句 There'll be a waiter at your elbow all the time，就是「會一直有個服務員守在你旁邊」。
dead beat。原句 Dead beat, ain't you?，就是「累垮了吧，是不是？」，形容筋疲力盡，口語裡很常見。
wish me luck。原句 You can't refuse to wish me luck，就是「你總不能不肯祝我走運吧」，出發、開張、考試前都能用。
指「合規、沒問題」，不是「按順序」。原句 everything seems to be in order 是「看起來一切都沒問題」，反過來說 not in order 就是「有問題、不合規」。
at your elbow 就很地道。它強調人就在旁邊隨時待命，比 next to you 更有畫面，服務場合常見。
