這場戲：大聊肯尼迪陰謀論
第 13 章 · 共 22 章 · 3'41"
兩人在書架前偶遇，一個手裡正 flipping through（隨手翻閱）《倉促審判》，另一個立刻開講肯尼迪陰謀論，說什麼 It wasn't Oswald that did it（不是奧斯瓦爾德干的），還列出一堆書讓你 snap up（趕緊買下）。最後他推銷自己那本還沒出版、想叫 Conspiracy a-Go-Go（陰謀搖搖樂）的書。
❝ 獨白 · 5 句 推薦《達拉斯的六秒鐘》
一連幾句越說越快，把一本調查書講得像驚悚片預告。
「後來被叫做」：come to call
new approach 新路數、新方法something like 像……之類的day in and day out 日日夜夜、天天如此came to call 後來被叫做、漸漸叫開
兩人在書架前偶遇，聊起當年一起上的那門人類學課。一個手裡正 flipping through（隨手翻閱）《倉促審判》，另一個自稱一直在跟進 J.F.K. assassination theories（肯尼迪遇刺理論），說這本書裡有 all the testimony（所有證詞），是 the one with（帶……的）那些沒被傳喚的證人的證詞，還一口咬定 It wasn't Oswald that did it（不是奧斯瓦爾德干的）。他連珠炮般推薦 Best Evidence、Six Seconds in Dallas 等書，讓對方面前的好書 snap up（趕緊買下），最後提起自己那本還沒出版的書，本來想叫 Profiles in Cowardice，出版商建議改成 Conspiracy a-Go-Go（陰謀搖搖樂）。
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。
“I really don't know too much about this. I was kind of just flipping through.”
我對這事真不太瞭解。我只是隨便翻了翻。
一句就把姿態放低，既禮貌地插話，也溫柔地打斷對方的滔滔不絕。
I was just flipping through.
被人以為你很懂某本書時用；正式彙報裡別說，會顯得沒準備。
I just skimmed a few pages. ／ I was only browsing, really.
口語
kind of 弱讀成 kinda，句中略停，firm 收尾。
I don't know the author; I was just flipping through. 我不認識這個作者，只是隨手翻了翻。
“You know, you're reading one of the great books on the subject.”
你知道嗎，你手上這本是這個題材裡的經典之一。
把搭訕變成捧場，先誇書再開口，話頭自然就接上了。
You're reading one of the great books on ...
在書店、展會想和陌生人攀談時用；別對不熟的人誇過頭。
That's one of the best books on the topic. ／ You've picked a classic there.
中性
one of the 連讀，great books 重讀，subject 輕收。
You're reading one of the great books on city planning. 你讀的這本是城市規劃領域的名著之一。
“It wasn't Oswald that did it. Of course you know it was Jack Ruby.”
開槍的不是奧斯瓦爾德。你當然知道是傑克·魯比干的。
先拋結論再用 Of course you know 壓人，陰謀論的口吻一下立住。
It wasn't X that did it. Of course you know it was Y.
要抖出反常識結論、還暗示對方早該知道時用；辯論別用來壓人。
It wasn't him at all; it was someone else. ／ Everyone knows it was never him.
口語
wasn't 重讀，Of course 加快，Jack Ruby 放慢強調。
It wasn't the driver that did it. Of course you know it was the brakes. 問題不出在司機身上。你當然知道是剎車的事。
“And they were just hopped up on amphetamines day in and day out.”
而且他們日復一日地嗑安非他命，一天不落。
把總統夫婦說成天天嗑藥的癮君子，語氣越平，笑點越響。
And they were just hopped up on ... day in and day out.
八卦式誇張地描述某人長期上癮的狀態時能用；說同事或長輩會得罪人，別用。
They were on amphetamines every single day. ／ Day in and day out, they were completely wired.
口語
hopped up on 連讀，amphetamines 重音在後，day in and day out 節奏均勻。
He was hopped up on coffee day in and day out. 他沒日沒夜地灌咖啡。
Of course, if you like that, you should really read Six Seconds in Dallas... 'cause, you know, Six Seconds is the one that's got all the trajectories... and the triangulation of the bullets and stuff. And it's great. It's just got this like second by second account... of just the entire tragic sequence, you know.
當然，你要是喜歡，真該讀讀《達拉斯的六秒鐘》…… 因為，你知道，《六秒鐘》裡記錄了所有的彈道軌跡…… 還有子彈的三角定位之類的。 而且很棒。它是一秒一秒的實錄…… 把整個悲劇過程全記下來了，你知道。
下一章 · 14work out行得通這場戲：從紀念冊聊到改裝車指隨手翻閱、快速翻翻，不一定細讀。片裡那人說自己不懂，只是 flipping through 那本書。
指趕緊買下、搶購，常用於好書好貨。片裡那人勸對方看到好版本就 snap up，別錯過。
snap up。原句 you really should snap up if you can，就是「你要是有機會，真該趕緊拿下」，比 buy 更有搶的意味。
come to call。原句 they came to call "Dr. Feel-Good"，就是「後來他們管他叫『感覺良好醫生』」，用來講綽號怎麼來的。
它是拿「臭名昭著」當梗，戲仿歷史說法。片裡指奧斯瓦爾德和蒂皮特那頓所謂的會面早餐，又冷又損。
是驚訝、感嘆時用的輕語氣詞，比 God 委婉。片裡聽對方爆料，就用 gosh 起頭，顯得又驚又捧場。
