這場戲：報警後偵探上門查案
偵探多伊爾上門，讓傑夫把看到的從頭講一遍，傑夫卻丟出一句 It's just a little neighborhood murder, that's all.（不過是街坊裡的一樁小謀殺案而已。），噎住對方。還補刀 I figured a good detective would jump at the chance（我想著好偵探碰上案子可不會放過機會）。想學怎麼用輕描淡寫的話報一樁命案、又逼人接招，這段最妙。
「這種景象真讓人高興」：a welcome sight
welcome sight 讓人高興的景象do you suppose 你覺得、你以為washed away 沖掉、沖刷乾淨
《後窗》這段在傑夫的公寓：老朋友多伊爾是偵探，上門讓他 start from the beginning（從頭說起），傑夫指出二樓後間住的是拉爾斯·索沃德。多伊爾不當回事，傑夫就輕描淡寫地說 It's just a little neighborhood murder, that's all.（不過是街坊裡的一樁小謀殺案而已。），再激一句 I figured a good detective would jump at the chance（我想著好偵探碰上案子可不會放過機會）。多伊爾嫌今天是他 day off（休息日），可還是答應 I'll drop by（順路過去一趟）。後來兩人討論兇手在浴缸分屍，還說那箱子得趕緊弄走。想學報案、激將和調侃的英文，這段很完整。

“It's just a little neighborhood murder, that's all.”
不過是街坊裡的一樁小謀殺案，僅此而已。
把謀殺說成小事，輕描淡寫的語氣正是全片最冷的一句玩笑。
It's just a little ..., that's all.
用輕描淡寫反襯事情嚴重時用；對受害者家屬說會非常失禮。
Just a small local problem, nothing more. ／ Only a minor neighborhood affair.
口語
just a little 輕快帶過，neighborhood murder 重讀，that's all 收平。
It's just a little office scandal, that's all. 不過是辦公室的一點小丑聞，僅此而已。
“You have to be here and see the whole setup.”
你得親自過來看看整個情況。
一句把電話裡說不清的事推給現場，也把觀眾的好奇心吊了起來。
You have to be here and see ...
請人必須到現場才能明白時用；帶點賣關子，正式彙報裡不合適。
You have to see it for yourself. ／ It only makes sense when you're here.
中性
have to 連讀成 hafta，whole setup 重讀，句尾收住。
You have to be here and see the machine work. 你得親自來看看這臺機器怎麼運轉。
“No wonder your husband still loves you.”
難怪你丈夫到現在還愛你。
一句玩笑把感激和誇讚揉在一起，緊張時刻忽然透出暖意。
No wonder ...
看到好事順理成章時用；對不熟的人說私人感情會顯得越界。
That's why your husband adores you. ／ No surprise he still loves you.
口語
No wonder 連讀，husband still 輕讀，loves you 收低。
No wonder everyone asks you for help. 難怪大家都找你幫忙。
“I figured a good detective would jump at the chance of something to detect.”
我琢磨著，好偵探碰上能查的案子，準會搶著來。
用「能查的案子」繞回同一個詞，挖苦裡帶著激將。
a good ... would jump at the chance of ...
半開玩笑地激對方接下某事時用；朋友之間可以，正式場合不要用。
A real pro would jump at a chance like this. ／ Any good detective would leap at the chance.
口語
figured a 連讀，jump at the 連讀，something to detect 收在同詞上。
A good chef would jump at the chance of cooking for them. 好廚師碰上給他們做飯的機會，準會搶著去。
下一章 · 08knee-deep in深陷其中這場戲：逼偵探闖公寓取證意思是「抓住機會、迫不及待地接受」。jump at 有「撲上去」的畫面感，a good detective would jump at the chance 就是「好偵探碰上案子可不會放過機會」。
as a matter of fact。它常用來強調或糾正對方，Yes, as a matter of fact, I did say "murder" 就是「沒錯，事實上我說的就是謀殺」。
意思接近，都表示「其實、事實上」。as a matter of fact 語氣稍正式一點，in fact 更口語，寫作和對話裡都能互換。
意思是「休息日、休班」。This happens to be my day off 就是「今天正好輪到我休息」，用來解釋自己不上班。
字面是「受歡迎的景象」，意思是看到就讓人高興的東西。I can't tell you what a welcome sight this is 就是「我說不出看到它有多高興」。
