這場戲：隔離病房裡的試探對話
第 9 章 · 共 27 章 · 4'01"
醫生單獨見被隔離的凱瑟琳，她一邊抽菸一邊半真半假地挑釁：先說 I'm so sick of being bossed and bullied（我受夠了被人呼來喝去），又冷冷地問 Do you plan to burn me too（你也打算燙我嗎）。最後卻認真地說 I really do think I am sane（我真的覺得自己是清醒的）。想學帶刺的對話，這段最帶感。

much worse 糟得多（故作恐嚇）classified as 被歸為某一類refused my advances 拒絕某人的挑逗accuse you of 指控某人犯了某事
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 關於恨與清醒
從「不懂恨」講到「我確實清醒」，用自嘲把最認真的問題輕輕收住。
《夏日痴魂》這段在聖瑪麗看護院的隔離病房：醫生單獨見凱瑟琳，她不緊不慢地試探他，先用一句 I'm so sick of being bossed and bullied（我受夠了被人呼來喝去）亮出脾氣，又挑釁地說 I'm apt to attack you and accuse you of rape（我隨時可能襲擊你，然後告你強姦），還講起當年如何 refused my advances（拒絕她的挑逗）就誣告園丁是色狼。她半真半假，最後卻認真地說 I really do think I am sane（我真的覺得自己是清醒的），只是 evidence to the contrary（有相反的證據）。想學帶刺、自嘲和真真假假的對話，這段最妙。

“I'm so sick of being bossed and bullied.”
我受夠了被人呼來喝去、被人欺負。
兩個押頭韻的詞把長期受壓迫的怨氣一口氣吐出來，短促有力。
I'm so sick of being ...
受夠了某種長期待遇時用；對正在管教你的人說會激化衝突。
I'm done with being ordered around. ／ I'm tired of being pushed around.
口語
sick of 連讀，bossed and 略連，重音落在 bullied。
I'm so sick of being talked over in meetings. 我受夠了開會時總被人搶話。
“You have every reason to be.”
你完全有理由緊張。
用最少的字承認對方的恐懼，還順勢把威脅坐實，冷靜得可怕。
You have every reason to ...
表示對方的反應完全合理時用；吵架時說會顯得在挑釁。
You're right to feel that way. ／ Anyone would be nervous in your place.
中性
every reason 連讀，to be 收得很輕，句尾下沉。
You have every reason to be angry about it. 你完全有理由為這事生氣。
“I really do think I am sane...”
我真的覺得自己是清醒的……
用 do 加重語氣，偏偏在瘋人院裡自稱清醒，越認真越讓人發涼。
I really do think ...
想強調自己確實這麼認為時用；被質疑時這樣說反而顯得心虛。
I honestly believe I'm sane. ／ I do mean it when I say I'm fine.
中性
really do 重讀，think I am 連讀，句尾拖長留白。
I really do think we can fix this. 我真的覺得我們能解決這件事。
“It's the sort of thing an insane woman would do.”
這種事正是一個瘋女人會幹得出來的。
用假裝自證瘋癲的方式反擊，反而顯出清醒和諷刺，是全片最鋒利的自嘲。
It's the sort of thing an insane woman would do.
被人貼標籤、想用反諷回敬時用；對認真擔心你的人說會讓他更慌，要分場合。
That's exactly what a crazy person would do, right? ／ Just the kind of thing a madwoman does.
口語
It's the sort of thing 連讀，an insane woman 重讀，would do 降調帶諷。
That's the sort of thing an overreacting person would do, isn't it? 這種事正是一個小題大做的人會幹的，對吧？
I molested an elderly gardener of great virtue. When he refused my advances, I denounced him as a lecher. After that, I was punished. Was it true? That I was punished? Yes. - That you accused him unjustly. - Of course I accused him unjustly. After all, I'm insane. It's the sort of thing an insane woman would do.
我騷擾過一位德行高尚的老園丁。 他拒絕了我的挑逗，我就告發他是色狼。 那之後，我受了罰。 那是真的嗎？ 問我受罰是不是真的？是真的。 ——問你冤枉了他沒有。——我當然冤枉了他。 畢竟，我瘋了。 瘋女人就是會幹這種事。
No. I don't understand what hate is... ...or how anyone could hate and still be sane. I really do think I am sane... ...despite considerable evidence to the contrary.
不。我不懂什麼是恨…… ……也不懂一個人怎麼能一邊恨著、一邊還算清醒。 我真的覺得自己是清醒的…… ……儘管有相當多的證據說明並非如此。
下一章 · 10to be used用來被利用的這場戲：說愛是利用又憶舊事意思是「受夠了、厭煩透了」，比 tired of 語氣更重。臺詞 I'm so sick of being bossed and bullied 就是「我受夠了被人呼來喝去、被人欺負」。
bossed and bullied。boss around 是「對……發號施令」，bully 是「欺負」，連用就把被擺佈、被欺負兩層意思都說到了。
advances 指「示好、挑逗」，refused my advances 就是「拒絕了（我）的挑逗」。臺詞裡凱瑟琳說園丁拒絕了她，她才反過來誣告他。
意思是「相反的、證明並非如此的」，常放在 evidence、information 等詞後面。臺詞 despite considerable evidence to the contrary 就是「儘管有相當多的反證」。
意思是「刑訊室、拷問室」。臺詞 What you call the Drum is not a torture chamber 就是「你所謂的『鼓房』不是刑訊室」，醫生在糾正凱瑟琳的說法。
