這場戲：同一手法的襲擊案
第 18 章 · 共 20 章 · 4'11"
維多爾一位女士被擀麵杖砸了腦袋，襲擊者以為她暈了，其實她沒暈，還認出那人是大衛。他後來說 something just came over me（一時上了頭）。另一個十六歲的證人則回憶，警察先告訴他時間，他只能跟著對，這就是 coaching the witness（給證人做輔導）。想講衝動犯罪和證詞被帶偏，這兩句很地道。

用自己的猜測對上警方的時間線，把證詞的不可靠說破。
維多爾有個女人在家被人用擀麵杖砸了頭，襲擊者以為打暈了她，她其實清醒著，認出了大衛·哈里斯。哈里斯主動到警局，承認打了人，還說自己抽了大麻、喝了酒，something just came over me（一時上了頭），但絕口不提自己當時只穿內褲。多年後另一個證人回憶，當年才十六歲，警察先把案發時間告訴他，再讓他回答幾點離開電影院，他說自己沒戴錶，只能靠猜——這就是 coaching the witness（給證人做輔導）。更讓他後來不安的是，檢方明明知道時間對不上，還在法庭上 deceive the jury（欺騙陪審團），甚至想 deceive justice。
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。
“"It takes a great prosecutor to convict an innocent man."”
「能把無辜的人定成罪，才叫了不起的檢察官。」
一句反話把司法徹底倒過來講，越像褒獎越刺耳。
It takes a great ... to ...
用反話諷刺某種「本事」時用；正式演講裡也常見。
It takes real skill to get it this wrong. ／ Any prosecutor can convict a guilty man; this takes genius.
literary
great 與 innocent 重讀，語氣要像在夸人。
It takes a great chef to burn water twice. 能把水燒糊兩次，也算了不起的廚師了。
“"You know I know the truth this time."”
「你知道，這回我知道真相了。」
know 連著出現，把審訊裡那種看透一切的壓迫感說滿。
You know I know ...
對還想抵賴的人點破時用；語氣要穩，別吼。
You know that I know what happened. ／ This time I already know the truth.
口語
兩個 know 都重讀，truth 後稍停。
You know I know you didn't finish it. 你心裡清楚，我知道你根本沒做完。
“"I don't know what got over me but something just came over me."”
「我不知道自己怎麼了，就是一時上了頭。」
把失控說成一股莫名的東西涌上來，含混卻極其好用。
Something came over me.
事後為衝動道歉、又不想細說原因時用；別用來推卸責任。
I don't know what came over me. ／ Something got into me and I lost my head.
口語
got over me 連讀，something just 連讀後稍停。
I don't know what came over me; I should not have shouted. 我也不知道自己怎麼了，不該衝你喊的。
“That's what you call "coaching the witness."”
這就叫「給證人做輔導」。
一句命名就把檯面下的操作攤開，冷靜得讓人後背發涼。
That's what you call ...
給某件上不了檯面的事下定義時用；語氣帶點涼。
That is what they call preparing a witness. ／ They have a name for that: coaching the witness.
中性
call 後稍停，coaching the witness 放慢。
That's what you call a soft launch, not a real product. 那叫預熱試水，根本不算正式釋出。
“but he was deceiving the jury. He wanted to deceive justice.”
可他在騙陪審團，他想欺騙正義。
從 jury 升到 justice，一步把案情拔高成對整個制度的指控。
He was ...ing X. He wanted to ... Y.
把一件小事說成原則問題時用；要有事實撐著。
He was misleading the jury and mocking the law. ／ It was not just a lie; it was a fraud on the court.
正式
deceiving 重讀，justice 收尾放重。
He was deceiving his readers. He wanted to deceive the public. 他在騙讀者，他想欺騙公眾。
“So I realized again that unfortunately, he hadn't straightened up.”
我這才又一次明白，可惜，他根本沒改好。
unfortunately 夾在中間，警探的失望被輕輕按了一下。
I realized again that unfortunately, ...
對某人舊毛病又犯感到無奈時用；語氣要平。
Sadly, he had not changed his ways. ／ It turned out, again, that he had not cleaned up his act.
中性
unfortunately 輕讀帶過，straightened up 連讀。
I realized again that unfortunately, he hadn't learned a thing. 我這才又一次明白，可惜，他什麼都沒學會。
I got a call one morning, a lady here in Vidor... had been hit over the head with a rolling pin... and the attacker thought she'd been knocked unconscious... when, in reality, she wasn't. And she recognized the attacker to be David Harris. He voluntarily came to the police station. I told him, "David, this girl knows who you are. "I don't even have to tell you I know the truth. "You know I know the truth this time." He said, "I was wrong. I smoked marijuana, I was drinking. "I don't know what got over me but something just came over me." But he forgot to mention one thing, that he was only wearing underwear. I felt as though the attack was sexually oriented. He never wanted to admit that... and, as I recall, he never really finally admitted it. He'd just get to where he wouldn't deny it.
有天早上我接到個電話，維多爾這邊一位女士…… 被人用擀麵杖砸了腦袋…… 襲擊的人以為把她打暈了…… 其實她根本沒暈。 她認出襲擊她的人是戴維·哈里斯。 他自己主動來了警察局。 我跟他說：「戴維，這姑娘認得你。 「我都不用告訴你，我就知道真相。 「你知道，這回我知道真相了。」 他說：「我錯了。我抽了大麻，還喝了酒。 「我不知道自己怎麼了，就是一時上了頭。」 可他漏說了一件事：他當時只穿著內褲。 我覺得那次襲擊帶著性意味。 這一點他從不肯承認…… 而且據我回憶，他到最後也沒真認過。 他最多也就是不再否認。
Police give you the time of this and the time this happened... and you just correlate from those events. You just estimate from that event what time it was. You don't know. You're taking a guess. Police tell you, "It was 12:30 when this crime happened. "What time did you leave the movie?" "I know it was somewhere around midnight. "It might have been before then. I don't know. "I didn't have a watch on."
警察告訴你這事幾點、那事幾點…… 你就照著這些事去對時間。 你只能從那件事估摸當時是幾點。 你根本不知道。 你就是在猜。 警察跟你說：「這案子是十二點半發生的。 「你幾點離開的電影院？」 「我知道大概在午夜前後。 「也可能更早。我說不準。 「我沒戴錶。」
下一章 · 19tore my head off大發雷霆這場戲：證人隱瞞車上女人意思是「一時上了頭」，指某種情緒或衝動突然湧上來，自己都說不清。片裡哈里斯解釋打人時說 something just came over me，就是「不知怎麼就上了頭」。
說 coaching the witness。片裡說檢方提前把證詞跟證人對過、教他怎麼答某些問題，這就叫 coaching the witness，中文常說「串證」或「帶證人」。
用 deceive the jury。片裡說 but he was deceiving the jury，就是「他在騙陪審團」；後面那句 He wanted to deceive justice，更重，說他連正義都想騙。
說 post bond。片裡說 He posted his bond and went to Germany，就是他交了保釋金就跑去德國。post 在這裡是「交上（一筆錢）」的意思。
用 have dealings with。片裡說 I really didn't have no real dealings with the court systems，就是「我跟法院那套真沒打過交道」，用的是雙重否定，口語裡很常見。
