這場戲：拒絕送醫後復盤中伏
第 4 章 · 共 22 章 · 3'24"
橙先生肚子中槍，白先生一邊安慰，說 just want you to relax now（只想你放鬆），保證 you're gonna be fine（你會好起來的），一邊又明確不能送醫院。橙先生只求被丟在人行道上。白先生說肚子中槍最疼，卻要拖好幾天才致命，Time is on your side（時間站在你這邊）。想學安慰和解釋傷勢的英語，這段最好用。

橙先生肚子中槍，白先生一邊安慰他，說 just want you to relax now（只想你放鬆），保證 you're gonna be fine（你會好起來的）。可他明確說自己不能送醫院；橙先生求他開到門口或把人丟在人行道上，說自己能照顧自己，也不會跟警察吐露半句。白先生解釋傷勢：肚子中槍最疼，卻要拖好幾天才致命，所以說 Time is on your side（時間站在你這邊）。隨後兩人復盤中伏：他們斷定是 got set up（被人做局），因為警察來得太快。有人分析出警的 response time（反應時間），說第一撥是專門等他們的。想學安慰傷員、拒絕請求、復盤案情的英語，這段全是口語。
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're not gonna fuckin' die. You're gonna be fine.”
你他媽不會死的。你會好起來的。
髒話和安慰擠在一句裡，粗魯外殼下是最直白的安撫。
You're not gonna ..., you're gonna be ...
穩住受傷或崩潰的熟人時用；對不熟的人說髒話會立刻惹惱對方。
You're not dying on me, you'll be fine. ／ You're gonna pull through, trust me.
口語
not gonna 連讀，fuckin' die 重音，be fine 放軟收尾。
You're not gonna lose this, you're gonna be fine. 你不會輸的，你會沒事的。
“Time is on your side.”
時間站在你這邊。
把冷冰冰的醫學判斷說成一句安慰，殘酷又有效。
Time is on your side.
想寬慰等結果、等恢復的人時用；對等判決的人說會顯得輕佻。
You've got time on your side. ／ The clock is your friend here.
中性
Time is 連讀，on your 弱讀，side 落重音收住。
Don't rush it, time is on your side. 別急，時間站在你這邊。
“I don't think we got set up, I know we got set up.”
我不是覺得，我是確定我們被做局了。
用一句改口把猜測升級成斷定，語氣一下壓過全場。
I don't think ..., I know ...
想強調自己不是猜測而是認定時用；對上司或客戶這樣說會很衝。
I'm not guessing, I'm certain. ／ This isn't a theory, it's a fact.
口語
don't think 弱讀，second I know 加重，set up 連讀。
I don't think he lied, I know he lied. 我不是覺得他撒了謊，我是確定他撒了謊。
“You're gonna wish you were dead, but it takes days to die from your wound.”
你會巴不得自己死了算了，可這道傷要拖上好幾天才要命。
先給最狠的一句，再用 but 翻回時間和生機，冷酷裡藏著勸人別放棄。
You're gonna wish you were dead, but it takes days to ...
用黑色幽默安慰急脾氣的人時用；對正在劇痛裡的人這樣說太狠，別輕易出口。
You'll wish you were dead, but it won't kill you. ／ It'll hurt for days, but days means time.
口語
gonna wish 連讀，were dead 壓低，but it takes days 放慢。
You're gonna wish you were dead, but it takes weeks for a broken leg to heal. 你會疼得想死，可斷腿也得幾週才長好。
“One minute they're not there, the next minute they're there! I didn't hear any sirens.”
前一分鐘人還沒有，下一分鐘就全到了！我連警笛都沒聽見。
One minute ... the next minute ... 把反常講得活靈活現，再甩一句疑點，邏輯自己成立。
One minute ..., the next minute ...
描述事情突然翻轉、快得不正常時用；正式報告裡別用，換成 suddenly 更穩。
One minute it's quiet, the next minute it's chaos. ／ They weren't there a second ago, and then they were everywhere.
口語
One minute 連讀，the next minute 重讀對照，sirens 降調收。
One minute the street was empty, the next minute it was full of police. 前一刻街上還空著，下一刻就全是警察。
Where did all those cops come from, huh? One minute they're not there, the next minute they're there! I didn't hear any sirens. When an alarm goes off, you've got an average of four minutes response time. Unless a patrol car is cruising that street, you got four minutes before they can respond. Remember that second wave that showed up in the cars? Those were responding to the alarm. Those first motherfuckers were waiting for us. Haven't you fuckin' thought about this?
那些警察是從哪兒冒出來的，啊？ 前一分鐘人還沒有，下一分鐘就全到了！我連警笛都沒聽見。 警報一響，出警平均有四分鐘的反應時間。 除非正好有巡邏車在那條街上，否則他們要四分鐘才能趕到。 記得後來開車趕到的那第二撥嗎？ 那撥是聽到警報才來的。最先那幫混蛋，是專門在那等我們的。 你他媽就沒想過這事兒？
下一章 · 05What's done is done木已成舟這場戲：崩潰抱怨後抽根菸冷靜字面是「時間站在你這邊」，意思是「時間是站在你有利的一邊、你不必急著決定」。白先生用它安慰中槍的人：這傷要拖好幾天才致命，還有時間。
南方英語裡常用的說法，字面是「保佑你的心」，夸人時表示「你這份心真難得、真謝謝你」。有時也能反著用，帶點無奈的諷刺，要看語氣。
get set up。set up 有「設套、佈置陷阱」的意思，got set up 就是「被人做局、遭人算計」。臺詞裡說 I know we got set up，就是「我確定我們被人算計了」。
medical 是「醫療的」，attention 在這裡是「照護、救治」，medical attention 就是「醫療救治」。Without medical attention 就是「得不到救治」，是報警求助時常用的說法。
as opposed to 是「與……相對、而不是」。有人問「很糟嗎」，對方回 As opposed to good，意思是「難道還能是好事？」，用反問來強調情況有多糟。
