這場戲：為惡習的定義鬥嘴
第 10 章 · 共 15 章 · 2'38"
喬治勳爵看著賽馬直播，說自己 My only vice（自稱只此一個愛好），對方立刻拆臺：你可不是隻此一個，你是 eyebrows deep in every vice known to man（深陷人類已知的每一種惡習）。一個裝無辜，一個當場戳破。想學怎麼優雅地拆穿別人的場面話，這幾句很帶勁。
❝ 獨白 · 10 句 「最中意的那一口」英語說 vice of choice

喬治勳爵看著香港賽馬的衛星直播，被問起時笑說 My only vice（自稱只此一個愛好）。對方不客氣地糾正：這話可不太站得住腳，你是 eyebrows deep in every vice known to man（深陷人類已知的每一種惡習）。勳爵辯解自己只是 facilitate（從中經手、提供便利），並不 participate in（參與）那些惡習。對方則說自己特意 deal in（經營）大麻，因為 my jam, it doesn't kill anyone（我的貨不殺人），而你的白粉、海洛因才是 a destroyer of worlds（毀滅世界的禍根）。一句話，把「經手」說成「參與」。my only vice 是自嘲只此一個愛好；eyebrows deep in something 形容深陷其中；a destroyer of worlds 指毀滅世界的禍根。
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。
“but you see, my jam, it doesn't kill anyone.”
可你看，我的貨不殺人。
不談錢不談法，只拿「死不死人」當標準，一句就把對手的立場逼到牆角。
you see, my ... doesn't kill anyone
替自己的行當辯護時用；對受害方說這句話會激怒對方。
What I sell doesn't kill people. ／ At least my product isn't lethal.
口語
you see 輕讀，doesn't kill 連讀，anyone 收尾放平。
You see, my trade doesn't kill anyone; it just wastes their time. 你看，我這行不殺人，頂多浪費人時間。
“So yes, your facilitation is most definitely participation.”
所以說白了，你那種經手，就是實打實的參與。
用同樣的詞根對打回去，most definitely 一壓，辯論的勝負就定了。
your X is most definitely Y
下結論、反駁對方狡辯時用；對長輩或客戶語氣會顯得太沖。
That's not facilitation; that's participation. ／ Enabling it is the same as doing it.
正式
facilitation 與 participation 押韻，重音都在倒數第二音節。
Your silence is most definitely a choice. 你的沉默，絕對就是一種選擇。
“While your poison is, and always has been, a destroyer of worlds.”
而你那玩意兒，從來都是毀滅世界的禍根。
用「毀滅世界」這種大詞蓋過對方的小算盤，氣場立刻壓倒。
your ... is and always has been a destroyer of worlds
把對方的東西說成禍害時用；日常爭執用會顯得誇張。
What you sell ruins lives, and always has. ／ Your product has only ever destroyed.
literary
is and always 連讀，destroyer of worlds 逐詞加重。
That app is and always has been a destroyer of worlds for young users. 那個應用對年輕使用者來說，從來都是個毀人的東西。
“Sweet Mary Jane is my vice of choice, as you well know.”
大麻是我選定的惡習，這你也清楚。
用敬稱給大麻封聖，把販毒說成個人癖好，優雅裡藏著傲慢。
Sweet Mary Jane is my vice of choice.
半開玩笑地承認自己的嗜好時用；正式場合別用，容易惹麻煩。
Coffee is my vice of choice. ／ It's my one and only vice.
口語
Sweet Mary Jane 平穩，vice of choice 連讀，as you well know 放低。
Late-night noodles are my vice of choice. 深夜的麵條是我選定的惡習。
Sweet Mary Jane is my vice of choice, as you well know. Of course. I'm addicted to selling it, not consuming it. I specifically chose to deal in marijuana. Sure, I could see there was more to be made. in shifting the white or the brown powder, as you so chose. but you see, my jam, it doesn't kill anyone. and I like that. While your poison is, and always has been, a destroyer of worlds. So yes, your facilitation is most definitely participation. But I'm not here to give you a sermon on situational ethics.
我偏愛的惡習是大麻，這你最清楚。 當然，我上癮的是賣它，不是吸它。 我是特意選擇做大麻生意的。 我當然看得出，做別的能賺得更多， 倒賣白粉或棕粉，就像你選擇做的那樣。 可你看，我的貨不殺人。 我喜歡這一點。 而你那玩意兒，從來都是毀滅世界的禍根。 所以說白了，你那種經手，就是實打實的參與。 不過我不是來給你講情境倫理的大道理的。
下一章 · 11under the weather身體不太舒服這場戲：茶裡下毒警告對方字面是「眉毛都陷進去了」，形容深陷某事、陷得極深。原句說 you're eyebrows deep in every vice，就是「你什麼惡習都陷得很深」。
說 facilitate，指自己不親自做，而是提供通道、促成事情。原句 I facilitate. I don't participate，就是「我只是經手，並不參與」。
不一樣。deal in 是經營、做某一類商品的買賣，比如 deal in marijuana；deal with 是處理、應對某件事或某個人。
指毀滅世界的禍根，形容某樣東西危害極大。原句把你的毒品說成 a destroyer of worlds，其實是重話，罵得一點不留情。
指就某個話題長篇說教一通，帶點不耐煩。原句我不是來給你 a sermon on situational ethics，就是「我不是來講情境倫理大道理的」。
