這場戲：男扮女裝的第一夜
第 6 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'04"
臥鋪車熄燈後，男扮女裝的達芙妮挨個跟姑娘們道晚安，一邊默唸 I'm a girl（我是女孩）一邊給自己打氣；糖糖隨口一句 honey（親愛的）就讓他徹底慌了。想學怎麼用一句 I wish I were dead（真希望我死了）吐槽「生無可戀」，這場車廂夜戲聽得人又想笑又心疼。
「瞧瞧」英語怎麼說？get a load of
get a load of 瞧瞧、看看這個stays in her hive 乖乖待在自己窩裡（雙關）Fight it 忍住、頂住emergency brake 緊急剎車
burglar alarm 是「防盜警報器」，直覺一來就響
In what way 怎麼個……法、在哪方面burglar alarm 防盜警報器watch your ulcers 盯著你的潰瘍、多留神settle down 安靜下來、安定下來
列車上的第一個夜晚，男扮女裝的達芙妮在臥鋪車裡挨個跟姑娘們道晚安，糖糖一句 honey（親愛的）讓他當場慌了神。回到鋪位，他一遍遍念 I'm a girl（我是女孩）給自己催眠，心裡卻只剩一句 I wish I were dead（真希望我死了）。另一邊，甜心蘇跟賓斯托克說，那兩個新來的姑娘有點古怪，那股說不清的感覺就像身體裡的 burglar alarm（防盜警報器）在響。想表達「生無可戀」，用 I wish I were dead；想說身體像裝了警報器，學 That's one thing about an ulcer（潰瘍就有這點好處）；想哄大家「安靜下來」，說 settle down。裝身份、睡不著、被人看出破綻，這些句子都用得上。
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 wish I were dead.”
我真希望自己死了。
一句誇張的喪氣話，把男扮女裝的心累說得又好笑又可憐。
I wish I were ...
熟人之間誇張抱怨時能用；對不熟的人說會嚇到對方。
I wish I could just disappear. ／ I'd rather be anywhere but here.
口語
I wish 連讀，I were 弱讀，句尾放平下沉。
After three meetings, I wish I were on a beach. 開了三場會，我真希望自己正躺在海灘上。
“That's one thing about an ulcer. It's like having a burglar alarm go off inside you.”
潰瘍就有這點好處。就像身體裡裝了個防盜警報。
把病痛寫成警報器，自嘲裡透著機靈。
That's one thing about ... It's like having ...
把毛病說成有用的訊號時能用；正式場合別拿病開玩笑。
At least it warns me before things get worse. ／ My nerves act like an early alarm system.
口語
one thing about 連讀，burglar alarm 重讀，inside you 收輕。
That's one thing about my nerves. It's like having an alarm go off inside me. 我這神經就有這點好處。就像身體裡裝了警報。
“Just keep telling yourself you're a girl.”
你就一直對自己說你是個女孩。
一句自我催眠的咒語，把整場戲的荒唐點得恰到好處。
Just keep telling yourself ...
給朋友打氣、自我暗示時能用；正經勸人時別說，像在敷衍。
Just keep telling yourself it will be fine. ／ Repeat it until you believe it.
口語
keep telling 連讀，yourself 重讀，you're a 弱讀。
Just keep telling yourself you're ready for this. 你就一直對自己說，你已經準備好了。
“I just wanna make sure that Honey stays in her hive.”
我就是想確保甜心老老實實待在蜂巢裡。
拿蜜蜂打比方說看住人，又嗲又壞。
I just wanna make sure that ... stays in ...
對朋友半開玩笑談管束時能用；對伴侶認真說會吵架。
I just want to know the fox stays in its den. ／ Just making sure the cat stays indoors.
口語
wanna 吞音，Honey 上揚，stays in her hive 收得又慢又輕。
I just wanna make sure the hamster stays in its cage. 我就是想確保倉鼠老實待在籠子裡。
“Well, I don't know, but I can feel it right here.”
我也說不清，但我這兒能感覺到。
說不清卻篤定，第六感的口語定式。
I don't know, but I can feel it right here.
預感不安時能用；對需要證據的場合別說這句。
I can't explain it, but I feel it in my gut. ／ No proof, just this knot in my stomach.
中性
前半句含糊帶過，right here 拍一下胸口重讀。
I don't know why, but I can feel rain coming. 我說不清為什麼，但我能感覺要下雨了。
下一章 · 07in cahoots串通一氣這場戲：火車上道謝越聊越近是「睡個好覺」，睡前道晚安時常說。戲裡有人對多洛雷斯說 you sleep tight，就是祝她睡得踏實，比單說 good night 更親暱。
口語裡常說 get a load of，意思是叫人看看、注意一下。戲裡一句 Get a load of that rhythm section，就是「瞧瞧那節奏組」。
意思是「真希望自己死了」，用來誇張地表達絕望、崩潰。注意用 were 而不是 was，是虛擬語氣。達芙妮夜裡睡不著就反覆念這一句。
說 settle down，可以讓人別鬧、安靜下來，也可以指安定下來。戲裡甜心蘇喊 Everybody settle down and go to bed，就是叫大家安靜下來上床睡覺。
是防盜警報器。戲裡拿它打比方，說潰瘍發作就像身體裡裝了防盜警報器在響，用來形容那種說不清但很準的直覺。
