庭審引錯先例：throw in your cards

庭上，首席律師遲到，開口卻把先例引錯，一句 no bearing（沒有關係、不影響）當場把話堵死。庭後有人用 throw in your cards（棄牌；認輸退出）比喻感情：贏不了就收手。想學法庭上的硬話和分手時的狠話，這兩句都值得記。

發生了什麼

庭審開始，首席律師遲遲不到，有人建議再等五分鐘就另選 lead counsel（首席律師）。他趕到後把得克薩斯州訴約翰遜案當作先例，庭上指出那是最高法院言論自由案，跟本案沒有關係，一句 no bearing（沒有關係、不影響）把話堵死。隨後有人提出 take over（接手），庭上接著談到人為操縱選區和按種族分開學生。庭後兩個人攤牌，一句 throw in your cards（棄牌；認輸退出）把感情說成一手贏不了的牌。想學法律場合的正式表達，也想學分手時帶比喻的狠話，可以看這幾分鐘。

本章短語

throw in your cards

棄牌；認輸退出fold; quit a losing hand

庭後一句 I learned it from you, Mike 之後，話頭轉到撲克規矩：用 throw in your cards（棄牌）解釋為什麼離開；語氣平靜，像在唸一條對方教過的規則。

Sometimes the smart move is to throw in your cards early.有時聰明的做法是早點收手。

the case which controls the issue at bar would be, uh, Texas v. Johnson, - Which holds... - Texas v. Johnson?
語法 · C1which controls the issue at bar

開場陳述

Usually you have to know something about a case to give an opening statement.
短語 · B1work out great for someone

We're not gonna talk? You left me pretty quick there.
短語 · B2make it sound as if + clause

說得好像

庭後兩人翻舊賬，一句 make it sound as if（說得好像）是在頂回對方的說法：對方把分手講得像是由說話人這邊做出的決定。

- You make it sound as if it was my decision. - Well, it wasn't mine.
俚語 · B2Fold the hand

棄牌；收手——牌桌行話，也可比喻退出

- Fold the hand. - Look, this is our thing that we're talking about.
短語 · B2the last of something

最後一點；到此為止

So, that's the last of it, then?
短語 · B1it's not about something

不是靠運氣

I mean, I'd say good luck, but I know it's not about luck in your game.

看懂「庭審引錯先例」

發音重點

  • wait another — wait another 快讀，t 輕帶過去
  • so sorry — 重音壓在 so 和 sorry 上，拖一點，歉意才顯出來。
  • pretty quick — pretty 的 t 輕彈，別把兩個音節咬死。
Someone saying something meaningful would please us a great deal.

有人說點真正有意義的東西，我們會非常感激。 禮貌外殼裡藏刀：meaningful 反襯前面全是廢話。

Usually you have to know something about a case to give an opening statement.

通常，你得對案子有所瞭解，才能作開場陳述。 不說你無知，只擺常識，挖苦更狠。

I learned it from you, Mike.

這是你教我的，邁克。 六個詞把責任反推回去，冷靜又致命。

Rule number one: Throw in your cards the moment you know they can't win.

第一條規則：一旦知道贏不了，就立刻棄牌。 把分手的冷酷包進撲克規則，像格言一樣好記。

I mean, I'd say good luck, but I know it's not about luck in your game.

我是說，我本想祝你好運，但我知道你那行靠的不是運氣。 祝福說到一半轉成看透，收得輕，餘味重。

關於這一章的問題

no bearing 是什麼意思？

意思是「沒有關係、不影響」；戲裡那句 that has no bearing in the premises，指所引的最高法院言論自由案跟本案無關。

「棄牌」英語怎麼說？

throw in your cards。戲裡把它當成第一條規矩：一旦知道這手牌贏不了，就馬上把牌扔了；同一段裡這句牌桌規矩被用來解釋離開的決定。

「說甩就甩」用英語怎麼講？

drop me like that。戲裡問 I came home and you were gone. You were just gonna drop me like that?，就是「我回到家，你已經走了。你就打算這麼把我甩了？」

「首席律師」和「接手」在戲裡分別怎麼用英語說？

lead counsel 是「首席律師」；take over 是「接手」。戲裡有人建議再等五分鐘就另選 lead counsel，也有人說聯絡不上麥克德莫特，就自己來 take over。

oral arguments 是什麼意思？

指「當庭口頭辯論」。戲裡法庭說事實已確認、書狀已審閱，接著讓原告首席律師現在開始口頭辯論。

「說得好像」英語怎麼說？

make it sound as if。戲裡說 You make it sound as if it was my decision，就是「你這話說得好像那是我的決定」；用來反駁對方把事實說成另一個版本。
