這場戲：新裙子遇上剁肉刀推理
麗莎穿著新裙子坐在他面前，問 How far does a girl have to go before you'll notice her?（一個姑娘得做到什麼份上你才會注意到她）。他卻只顧盯著窗外：雨夜拎箱子的鄰居、報紙裹著的小鋸子。她忍不住說 You're beginning to scare me a little（你開始讓我有點害怕了）——吃醋和懸疑的臺詞，這一分鐘都齊了。
「專心、注意」英語是 pay attention to，她只想被看見
pay attention to 專心、注意on the other side of 在……的另一邊all of him 某人的全部ain't I 難道我不是……嗎
「切碎、肢解」英語說 cut up，一句分屍追問嚇壞麗莎
wrapped in 用……包著interesting about 某物有什麼意思wouldn't dare 不敢做某事cut up 切碎、肢解
故事發生在紐約傑弗里斯的公寓：麗莎盛裝出現，想讓傑弗里斯把注意力放在自己身上，問他 How far does a girl have to go before you'll notice her?（一個姑娘得做到什麼份上你才會注意到她？），還表白 And when I want a man, I want all of him（我想要一個男人，就要他的全部）。可傑弗里斯滿腦子窗外那樁疑案：推銷員雨夜三次拎箱子出門，還有 cut up（切碎、肢解）一具屍體的細節。麗莎聽得發毛，說 Jeff, I'll be honest with you（傑夫，我跟你說實話）——你開始讓我有點害怕了。想學調情、吃醋和懸疑推理的英文，這些素材很全。

“How far does a girl have to go before you'll notice her?”
一個姑娘得做到什麼份上，你才會注意到她？
用一句半嗔半怨的追問，把被忽視的委屈和主動都說了出來。
How far does someone have to go before ...?
半開玩笑地表達被忽視的委屈時用；對剛認識的人說會太直接。
What does it take for you to notice me? ／ How much more do I have to do?
口語
have to 連讀成 hafta，before you'll 連讀，句尾上揚。
How far does a worker have to go before anyone notices? 一個員工得做到什麼份上才會被看見？
“And when I want a man, I want all of him.”
我想要一個男人，就要他的全部。
一句話把愛情裡的佔有和認真說滿，短促有力，毫不含糊。
When I want ..., I want all of it.
表白底線、要求對方全身心投入時用；談判或初識時說會太強勢。
If I choose someone, I want everything. ／ I don't do things by halves.
口語
want a man 連讀，all of him 輕快收尾，重音落在 all。
When I take a job, I want all of it. 我接一份工作，就要全身心投入。
“Just how would you start to cut up a human body?”
你到底會從哪兒開始肢解一具屍體？
把最駭人的問題問得像做功課，冷靜的語氣反而讓人脊背發涼。
Just how would you ...?
追問對方到底打算怎麼做時用；這類血腥話題要挑場合。
Where would you even begin with that? ／ How exactly would you go about it?
中性
Just how 連讀，cut up 的 t 輕帶，a human body 平穩收尾。
Just how would you start a project like that? 這樣的專案你到底打算怎麼開頭？
“Why would a man leave his apartment three times on a rainy night with a suitcase, and come back three times?”
一個人幹嘛拎著箱子在雨夜出門三次，又回來三次？
用重複的出門次數堆出疑點，問句本身就是懸念。
Why would + 主語 + do ... and ...?
把反常現象拋成疑問、引對方一起猜時用；審問口吻，對朋友別用。
Why would anyone do that twice? ／ What makes a man keep going out and back?
中性
Why would a 連讀，three times 連說兩遍注意節奏，句尾升調。
Why would she leave at midnight and come back twice before dawn? 她幹嘛半夜出門，天亮前還回來兩趟？
下一章 · 07jump at the chance抓住機會這場戲：報警後偵探上門查案意思是「切碎、肢解」，比 cut 更強調切成許多塊。臺詞用它討論分屍，日常也能拿來指把菜切碎。
pay attention to。想讓人看著你，可以說 Pay attention to me（看著我，專心點），直接又常用。
意思是「對某人說實話」，後面接人。臺詞 Jeff, I'll be honest with you 就是「傑夫，我跟你說實話」，坦白前先墊一句很好用。
表示「用……包著」，常跟在名詞後面，比如 a saw wrapped in newspaper（用報紙包著的鋸子），是英文裡很常見的後置修飾。
意思是「在……的另一邊」，可以指空間，也可以指立場。臺詞裡麗莎說 I'm not exactly on the other side of the room，吐槽傑弗里斯明明就在眼前卻不看她。
