這場戲：豪宅裡向貝蒂攤牌
第 18 章 · 共 19 章 · 3'29"
喬帶貝蒂參觀諾瑪的豪宅，看下沉浴缸、保齡球道，卻冷冷介紹 a good deal（一筆劃算的買賣）：有錢老女人配落魄年輕男人。貝蒂一聽就懂，他說的就是自己。想學會怎麼坦白難堪的事、怎麼聽懂話裡的暗示，這幾句最值得學。

貝蒂來到諾瑪的大宅找喬，喬帶她四處看：天花板的木頭從葡萄牙運來，還有她自己的電影院。喬說這裡是 an enormous place（大得嚇人），又用一句 well-to-do（家境富裕的）形容諾瑪，講起這套 setup：有錢老女人和落魄年輕人。貝蒂越聽越明白，紅了眼說 I can't look at you anymore（我再也看不下去你了）。想學怎麼帶人參觀、怎麼含蓄地說出難堪真相，這幾句全是活例子。

“Ever been in one of these old Hollywood palazzos?”
進過這種好萊塢老式豪宅嗎？
一個誇張的詞 palazzos，就把豪宅的浮華和主人的心虛一起點破。
Ever been in one of these ...?
帶人參觀一個誇張地方時用；對第一次見面的人別這麼調侃。
Ever set foot in a place like this? ／ Seen one of these old mansions before?
口語
Ever been 連讀，Hollywood 拖長，palazzos 尾音上挑
Ever been in one of these old city flats? 進過這種老式城市公寓嗎？
“If you don't remember the face, you must have heard the name.”
就算你記不得那張臉，也一定聽過這個名字。
不說她是誰，只把「你一定認識」擺到檯面上，懸念全在名字裡。
If you don't remember the face, you must have heard the name.
介紹一位大名鼎鼎的人時用；對不認識的人說會顯得居高臨下。
You may not know the face, but you know the name. ／ Even if the face is gone, the name still rings.
中性
don't remember 連讀，must have 輕帶，the name 重收
If you don't recall the voice, you must have heard the name. 就算你想不起那聲音，也一定聽過這個名字。
“It's lonely here, so she got herself a companion.”
這兒太寂寞，所以她就給自己找了個伴。
把供養關係說成「找了個伴」，越輕描淡寫越顯得涼。
It's lonely here, so she got herself a ...
委婉說出某人做得不光彩的選擇時用；當事人面前別說破。
She was lonely, so she found someone to keep her company. ／ The house is empty, so she bought herself a friend.
中性
lonely here 連讀，got herself a 一帶而過，companion 放慢
He was lonely, so he got himself a dog. 他太寂寞，就給自己養了條狗。
“Come on where? Back to a one-room apartment I can't pay for?”
走？去哪兒？回到我連房租都付不起的單間公寓嗎？
兩個反問接一串現實，把理想主義的邀請當場問倒。
Come on where? Back to ... I can't pay for?
想拒絕一個不切實際的邀請時用；對真心幫你的人別這麼衝。
Go where? Back to nothing? ／ Leave for what, exactly?
口語
Come on where 快問，one-room 連讀，can't pay for 重讀
Start over where? Back to a job I already quit? 重新開始？去哪兒？回到我已經辭掉的那份工作嗎？
“Look, sweetie, be practical. I've got a good deal here.”
聽著，親愛的，現實點。我在這兒過得很好。
一句「現實點」既在勸人，也在替自己開脫，軟話裡全是算計。
Look, ..., be practical. I've got a good deal here.
婉拒別人替你操心的建議時可用；對親近的人這樣說會顯得冷。
Let's be sensible about this. ／ You have to think about the money.
口語
Look 停頓，sweetie 輕帶，good deal 兩詞都重
Look, be practical. We can't afford that trip this year. 聽我說，現實點，今年我們負擔不起那趟旅行。
“A long-term contract with no options. I like it that way.”
一份沒有選擇權的長期合同。我就喜歡這樣。
把感情說成合同條款，再用「我喜歡」收尾，麻木得讓人心涼。
A long-term contract with no options. I like it that way.
自嘲地講一份離不開的安穩時用；真覺得被困住時別硬說喜歡。
A steady deal with no way out, and I chose it. ／ No exit clause, and that suits me.
中性
long-term contract 連讀，no options 停頓，that way 放輕
A permanent job with no surprises. I like it that way. 一份沒有意外的工作。我就喜歡這樣。
“I can't look at you anymore, Joe.”
我再也看不下去你了，喬。
不是罵，不是哭，只是一句看不下去——失望到了盡頭才這麼平靜。
I can't look at you anymore.
對一個人徹底失望、又不想吵時用；氣頭上說出口很難收回。
I can't stand the sight of you now. ／ I don't even want to see you.
中性
can't look at 連讀，anymore 稍拖，Joe 壓低收尾
After what he did, I can't look at him anymore. 出了那件事之後，我再也看不下去他了。
下一章 · 19have the heart to忍心做某事這場戲：攤牌後不放他走意思是「一筆劃算的買賣」。臺詞裡 I've got a good deal here，就是「我在這兒過得很好、很划算」，喬用來說自己被包養的生活，帶點自嘲。
well-to-do。臺詞裡 An older woman who is well-to-do，就是「一個有錢的老女人」，比 rich 更書面一點。
意思是「弄明白、想通」。喬問 Can you figure it out yourself，就是「你自己能想明白嗎」，在追問貝蒂有沒有聽懂他的暗示。
意思是「那當然、一定」。臺詞裡 This is where you live? 後面回一句 You bet，就是爽快地承認「那當然」，很口語、很隨便。
long-term contract。臺詞裡 A long-term contract with no options，就是「一份沒有選擇權的長期合同」，喬拿它形容自己賴在這兒不走的理由。
