牌桌邊抽雪茄詐唬：wait someone out

The move was folding. I can't lose what I don't put in the middle.

我那一手就是棄牌。沒押進去的錢，我輸不掉。 把棄牌說成主動的一手，後半句用從句收成一條算術，冷靜又硬氣。

Does he look like a man beaten by jacks?

他像是一個會被一對 J 打趴下的人嗎？ 拿一對 J 這種小牌當尺子，一個反問把對方的判斷整塊推翻。

You might want to leave a little something for your daughter's riding lessons.

你也許該給你女兒的騎馬課留點錢。 用「你也許想」的客氣殼包一句威脅，狠在把對方的家人當籌碼。

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere... Oh, by the way, anybody.

隨時、隨地、哪兒都行……哦對了，誰上都行。 三個 any 排比先把氣勢堆滿，第四個 any 一轉，狂得有點好笑。

It's got earthy tones, a smooth draw, enough kick to win me the Hi and the Lo.

它有泥土般的底味，抽起來順，勁兒也夠大——夠我贏下高低兩門。 整句用品雪茄的詞報牌面，draw 和 kick 兩層都成立，一本正經才好笑。
