這場戲：黑幫車庫行兇滅口
第 3 章 · 共 19 章 · 3'03"
黑幫老大斯帕茨帶人衝進車庫，一句 Long time no see（好久不見）就跟查理的老部下翻臉，把他們 bump someone off（幹掉）。躲在屋裡的喬和傑瑞看得要吐，被抓出來後連聲保證 We won't breathe a word（一個字都不會說出去）。想學黑幫片裡的狠話、想表忠心不洩密，這場戲的臺詞最帶感。
一句 Long time no see（好久不見）暗藏殺機
long time no see 好久不見pay my respects 登門問候、弔唁on my hands 落在手裡、得自己處理
這是向「情人節大屠殺」致敬的一場戲。黑幫老大斯帕茨帶著手下闖進車庫，先喊 hands up（把手舉起來），再讓所有人 Face the wall（面朝牆站好）。他對著查理說 Long time no see（好久不見），寒暄裡全是殺機，查理拼命解釋 I had nothing to do with it（這事跟我沒關係），可斯帕茨還是讓人把查理一夥 bump someone off（幹掉）。躲在暗處的喬和傑瑞剛好目睹全程，被拎出來後反覆保證 We won't breathe a word（一個字都不會說出去），對方卻一句 I don't like no witnesses（我不喜歡有目擊者）就堵死了退路。想學黑幫片的黑話、想表達守口如瓶，這場戲夠用。

“You were nice enough to recommend my mortuary to some of your friends.”
你人真好，把我的殯儀館推薦給了你幾個朋友。
用感謝的句式說殺人，客氣越足，威脅越冷。
You were nice enough to ...
反諷對方幫了倒忙時能用；對長輩或正式場合說會顯得陰陽怪氣。
How kind of you to send them my way. ／ Thanks for recommending me to your friends.
正式
nice enough to 連讀，mortuary 重讀，句尾放平。
You were nice enough to tell the boss about my mistake. 你可真好心，把我的錯告訴了老闆。
“Now I got all those coffins on my hands and I hate to see 'em go to waste.”
現在這麼多棺材砸在我手裡，我可捨不得它們白白浪費。
把殺人說成清庫存，黑色幽默背後全是寒意。
I got ... on my hands and I hate to see it go to waste.
自嘲手頭積壓、不想浪費時能用；正事彙報裡別這麼油滑。
I have these lying around and I hate to waste them. ／ There's no point letting them go unused.
口語
on my hands 連讀，go to waste 稍慢，突出'em。
We have extra tickets on our hands and I hate to see them go to waste. 我們手裡多出幾張票，真不想讓它們白白浪費。
“Besides, it's none of our business if you guys want to bump each other off. We don't...”
再說，你們要自相殘殺也不關我們的事。我們不……
急著撇清反而把殺人的事挑明，越解釋越危險。
It's none of our business if you ...
想撇清關係、不願插手時能用；對當事人當面說會火上澆油。
That's your business, not ours, if you fight among yourselves. ／ What you do to each other is not our concern.
口語
none of our business 連讀，bump each other off 壓低聲音。
It's none of our business if the two teams want to argue. 兩個團隊要吵，也不關我們的事。
“I just dropped in to pay my respects.”
我就是順路來弔唁一下。
客套話包著殺意，越禮貌越嚇人。
I just dropped in to pay my respects.
學反諷時能用，形容不速之客；真弔唁場合不要玩梗。
I just came by to say hello. ／ Just stopped in to show my face.
正式
just 輕讀，pay my respects 平穩，句尾下沉不留升調。
I just stopped by to see how you were doing. 我就是過來看看你過得怎麼樣。
“- You don't owe me no nothin'. - I wouldn't say that.”
——你不欠我什麼。——我可不敢這麼說。
雙重否定的推讓後一句輕描淡寫，賬其實記著。
I wouldn't say that.
別人客氣撇清時能用；對真正想和解的人別陰陽。
I wouldn't be so sure. ／ That's not how I remember it.
口語
前句含糊帶過，I wouldn't say that 放輕，尾音收住。
I wouldn't say that after you paid last time. 上次是你付的，我可不敢這麼說。
下一章 · 04get away with it矇混過關這場戲：男扮女裝逃往邁阿密是黑幫片裡的「幹掉、殺掉」，比 kill 更俚語、更輕鬆。原句 it's none of our business if you guys want to bump each other off，意思是「你們要自相殘殺也不關我們的事」。
breathe a word，字面是「吐出一個字」，原句 We won't breathe a word 就是「我們一個字都不會說」。它常用來保證保密，比 keep it a secret 更口語。
兩個都能。它字面是「表達敬意」，可以指登門問候，也可以指去弔唁。原句 I just dropped in to pay my respects，就是「順路來問候一下」。
指「砸在手裡、得自己處理」。原句 I got all those coffins on my hands，說的是棺材全壓在斯帕茨手上，賣不出去、用不掉，正好拿來埋人。
它其實是仿中文「好久不見」的說法，語法不標準，但已經成了地道的英語固定問候。原句 Hello, Charlie. Long time no see. 表面客氣，可是黑幫見面說這句往往沒好事。
