潦倒出局
電視裡放著牌局，有一句話說籌碼沒全輸光就還沒出局；down and out 在這裡指輸到徹底出局，講的是牌桌規則。
You're never down and out until your chips are all gone.Rounders · 1998 — 第 15 / 26 章 · 3'01" · B2
上門聊起欠賬：run someone up
佩特拉登門，先和邁克看陳的牌局，話鋒一轉落到賬上：兩千塊欠款明天滿一週，蟲蟲又把賬滾到近七千。run someone up（讓某人欠賬累積）說賬越滾越大，cut him off（停止給他賒賬）是乾脆斷供。朋友借錢、替人擔保時用得上。
發生了什麼
佩特拉登門，兩人先對著電視上的1988年世界撲克大賽聊起陳的定力，隨後話轉到賬上：切斯特菲爾德的第一筆兩千塊欠款明天滿一週，蟲蟲又把賬滾到近七千。on the line 是「賒賬欠著」，run someone up 是「讓某人欠賬累積」，cut him off 是「停止給他賒賬」。有人說自己手頭只有一千、才剛回來，臨走約在俱樂部見。談朋友借錢、合租墊付、替人擔保時，這些說法比只說「欠錢」更具體。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意佩特拉先閒聊再轉入債務
- 注意邁克看牌局時的行話密度
- 觀察兩人談錢時如何壓住情緒

down and 快說時常黏成一團，and 只留輕輕 n
You're never down and out until your chips are all gone.有一陣子
I haven't seen the place in a while.看上去差不多
Looks about the same.……之類的
- You want some scotch or something? - No, I'm fine.or 在快語流裡很輕，scotch 直接滑向 something

電視上放到1988年世界撲克大賽，有人盯著陳的牌拆解這手 nut straight，語氣裡帶著佩服。
Flops the nut straight and has the discipline to wait him out.耐心等到對方撐不住
Flops the nut straight and has the discipline to wait him out.對著牌詐唬 bluff 是詐唬，不是吹牛聊天
He knows Seidel's gonna bluff at it.賓語從句：knows 後省略 that，Seidel's 等於 Seidel is，整句是“他知道塞德爾要詐唬”。
He knows Seidel's gonna bluff at it.going to 的口語——日常口語，正式書寫別用
He knows Seidel's gonna bluff at it.誘人上鉤
同一手牌裡，陳故意放慢動作引對手下注；說話的人用 sucker someone in 點破這是設套，不是猶豫。
Chan is trying to sucker him in by taking his time.慢慢來、故意拖時間
Chan is trying to sucker him in by taking his time.混蛋（粗俗）——極粗俗，但這裡是佩服的感嘆，不是罵人；正式場合別用
Look at the control. Look at that fuck.一路過牌不下注 check 是撲克過牌，不是檢查
He knows his man well enough to check it all the way...enough to 結構：enough 後接不定式表結果：他太瞭解對手，所以能一路過牌。
He knows his man well enough to check it all the way...中計上鉤
Will Eric Seidel fall for the bait?把籌碼全押上
Yes, he's going all in and Chan has him.被打懵、不知道怎麼回事
- Johnny Chan, the master. - Poor Seidel. Kid doesn't know what hit him.那種滋味
Yeah, I know what that feels like.像腹部中槍般難受——誇張自嘲，牌桌或熟人之間；正式安慰別用
You feel gut-shot. Fuck it. You didn't come here to talk about this.省略關係詞：two thousand 後省 that/which；you owe... 是定語從句，修飾那兩千。
The first two thousand you owe the Chesterfield.有點——朋友閒聊可用，寫作中改 somewhat
- Oh. Worm. - Yes, it's kinda weird.賒賬欠著 不是“在電話線上”，這裡指賒賬
He'd just won eight grand. Why go on the line behind another two?過去完成時：'d 是 had；先贏八千，後去欠債，過去完成時點明先後。
He'd just won eight grand. Why go on the line behind another two?一千美元——賭桌和熟人閒聊，正式財務場合說 thousand
He'd just won eight grand. Why go on the line behind another two?把籌碼兌成現金
Yeah, yeah, he comes in after you leave, sits for like another 20 more minutes, cashes out for the full amount.經常露面、常來
But, uh, Worm's been around plenty.讓某人欠賬累積
有人把蟲蟲的欠賬報給邁克，一句 run someone up 說得平直，數字卻壓人；這句是在算賬，不是在夸人。
He's run you up just under seven grand.幫我個忙
Well, do me a favor and just put him on his own.停止給他賒賬
有人要求把蟲蟲單獨立賬，隨後一句 Yeah, cut him off 把話說清楚：別再讓他賒賬。
- Yeah? - Yeah, cut him off.him 的 h 常被吞掉，cut 和 off 夾著輕輕 im
- Yeah? - Yeah, cut him off.一千——很隨意的口語，正式場合用 thousand
I got a thou. And that's, you know...it 在 easy 前輕輕彈過，兩個詞黏著走
- Thanks for making it easy, Mike. - Oh, yeah, yeah.看懂「上門聊起欠賬」
發音重點
- down and out — down and 快說時常黏成一團，and 只留輕輕 n
- scotch or something — or 在快語流裡很輕，scotch 直接滑向 something
- cut him off — him 的 h 常被吞掉，cut 和 off 夾著輕輕 im
- making it easy — it 在 easy 前輕輕彈過，兩個詞黏著走
You're never down and out until your chips are all gone.只要籌碼還沒輸光，你就沒到山窮水盡。 把牌桌規則說成人生翻盤線，短句有節奏，適合失意時自我打氣。
It's like a locomotive running through your stomach.就像一臺火車頭從你胃裡碾過去。 用巨大機械寫緊張，畫面狠、節奏長，比 I'm nervous 更有身體感。
You feel gut-shot. Fuck it. You didn't come here to talk about this.你像腹部中槍一樣難受。管他呢。你來這兒不是為了聊這個。 先用中槍般的比喻壓住情緒，再用一句硬話把話題拉回；短促、帶髒話，是場面轉折。
關於這一章的問題
run someone up 是什麼意思？
指欠賬被一點點累積起來。臺詞裡 He's run you up just under seven grand，說的就是賬已經堆到接近七千。
「停止給他賒賬」英語怎麼說？
可以說 cut him off。臺詞裡有人要求 cut him off，就是把對方的賒賬額度停掉，不再讓他掛賬。
down and out 和輸光籌碼有什麼關係？
臺詞說 You're never down and out until your chips are all gone，意思是籌碼沒全輸光就還沒潦倒出局；down and out 可指走投無路。
sucker 是「傻瓜」的意思嗎？
sucker 作名詞是「容易上當的人」，但臺詞裡是動詞 sucker someone in，指誘人上鉤：Chan is trying to sucker him in by taking his time，說的是靠拖時間把對手引進套裡。
