這場戲：夫妻在警察面前撕破臉
第 3 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'13"
喬和莎拉當著警察的面吵翻，莎拉說只想 get a rise out of（惹人上火）他，喬卻回一句 buy a dog（養條狗啊）。後來吉米在酒吧說自己如今只會 lose friends（丟朋友）、喝酒和亂來。想學怎麼用英文把話說得又狠又冷，這幾句夠用。
來者不拒：anything with a heartbeat（逮著個活物就上）
cheated on 揹著某人不忠gotta be crazy 準是瘋了anything with a heartbeat 任何活物perform the autopsy 做屍檢
邁克死後，喬和莎拉在警察面前把婚姻的賬一次算清。莎拉質問喬為什麼知情不報，喬反問她想聽什麼，莎拉說隨便什麼都行，只要能 get a rise out of（惹人上火）他；喬回她一句 fresh out（一點不剩），再甩下 buy a dog（養條狗啊）。莎拉說出自己寂寞、出過軌，最後點破：恨你的不是我，是 live with myself（自己面對自己）的你。另一條線裡，吉米在酒吧灌酒，說自己如今只會丟朋友、喝酒、亂來，警察也幫不了他，等他死了才會 perform the autopsy（做屍檢）。

“What do you want me to say, Sarah? "Fuck you, Sarah"?”
你想讓我說什麼，莎拉？「去你的，莎拉」？
把對方想要的難聽話替她說出口，一句反問讓指責落空。
What do you want me to say?
被逼著表態、對方怎麼說都不滿意時用，熟人間別對長輩說。
What am I supposed to say to that? ／ Is that what you want to hear?
口語
want me to 連讀，引號裡的話放慢，尾音上揚收反問。
What do you want me to say? I already apologized. 你想讓我說什麼？我都道過歉了。
“How about, "If there weren't cops here, I'd spit in your face"?”
那「要不是這兒有警察，我就啐你一臉」怎麼樣？
用虛擬句把恨意包成客氣提議，越文明越嚇人。
If there weren't ..., I'd ...
有外人在場、只能壓低聲音放狠話時用，正式場合絕不該出現。
If we were alone, I'd say worse. ／ Without the cops I'd tell you off.
口語
there weren't 連讀，I'd 輕壓，spit in your face 一字一頓。
If my boss weren't here, I'd tell you what I think. 要不是老闆在，我就直說我的看法了。
“- You want me to spit on you? - It would show you had some pride left.”
——你想讓我啐你一口？——那至少說明你還有點骨氣。
把羞辱當成唯一還有尊嚴的證據，一句話寫透兩個人的破敗。
It would show you had some ... left.
諷刺對方早就沒了鬥志時用，極傷人，只適合熟人間的狠話。
At least it would show you still care. ／ That would prove there's something left.
口語
spit on you 連讀，pride left 放慢，落在 left 上收。
At least argue with me; it would show you still care. 至少跟我吵兩句，那說明你還在乎。
“You know what? Fuck you, Joe. You were never around. I was lonely!”
你知道嗎？去你的，喬。你從來不著家。我很孤獨！
罵到一半漏出真心話，孤獨兩個字把整段婚姻癥結說破。
You were never around.
跟親近的人抱怨被忽略時用，情緒很重，別在公開場合說。
You were hardly ever home. ／ You were never there for me.
口語
Fuck you 咬重，never around 連讀，lonely 拖長再收。
You were never around when things got hard. 日子難過的時候你從來不在。
“I'm not the one who hates you, Joe. You're the one who hates you.”
恨你的不是我，喬。恨你的是你自己。
同一句換個主語，把整場指責反扣回去，像一記心理重拳。
I'm not the one who ..., you're the one who ...
點破對方自欺時用，說得又準又狠，日常別輕易對人用。
I'm not your problem, you are. ／ You're the one who can't let go.
中性
兩個 you 都重讀，中間稍停，最後落點壓在第二個 hates you。
I'm not the one who doubts you, you're the one who doubts you. 懷疑你的不是我，是你自己。
“Because nowadays all I do is lose friends, drink and nail anything with a heartbeat.”
因為如今我乾的事，無非是丟朋友、喝酒，逮著個活物就上。
三個動詞排開，把自己說得一無是處，自嘲裡全是絕望。
All I do is ..., ..., and ...
用自嘲交代自己狀態很差時用，帶粗話，正式場合別這麼說。
All I do is work, eat and sleep. ／ Lately all I do is lose and drink.
口語
all I do is 連讀，三個動作逐個加上去，heartbeat 重讀收尾。
All I do is work, eat and sleep these days. 這些天我也就是上班、吃飯、睡覺。
“Sure. After I'm dead, they'll perform the autopsy.”
當然。等我死了，他們會來驗屍。
把求助的指望壓縮成一句黑色笑話，絕望得乾脆。
After I'm dead, they'll ...
諷刺求助無門、對方只會事後補救時用，黑色幽默，看場合。
They'll help once it's too late. ／ Maybe they'll show up at my funeral.
口語
Sure 輕帶，After I'm dead 連讀，autopsy 重音在第一個音節。
After I'm done, they'll finally read my report. 等我幹完了，他們才會看我的報告。
下一章 · 04rain on your parade掃某人的興這場戲：夜店裡替班當保鏢意思是「故意惹某人上火、激怒某人」。rise 在這裡指被激起的反應，get a rise out of someone 就是故意戳對方，讓對方有反應。
意思是「一點不剩、剛剛用完」。原指庫存空了，常接 of，比如 fresh out of ideas 就是「一點想法都沒有了」，片裡是諷刺對方沒什麼可拿的了。
意思是「自己面對自己、過得了心裡那關」。live with 後接自己，指能承受自己的所作所為；接別人則指「和某人同住」。
perform the autopsy。autopsy 是屍檢、驗屍，perform 表示進行某項正式操作，合起來就是「做屍檢」，新聞和法律語境裡常見。
What are you, my father?。字面是「你是我爸嗎」，用來諷刺對方管得太多、太愛指手畫腳，語氣帶挑釁。
