這場戲：登門弔唁追問死因
第 5 章 · 共 17 章 · 3'35"
葬禮後，馬丁斯敲開安娜的門，直問她對哈里的感情：in love with（愛著某人）？安娜卻說自己什麼都不知道了 any more（不再知道任何事），甚至想跟著去死。等聊到出事那天在場的怪事，她那句 what difference does it make（有什麼區別），把追問堵了回去。想學含蓄又扎心的英式對白，這幾句夠狠。
in love with 是「愛著某人」
talk to you about 跟某人談某事in love with 愛著某人any more 不再
what difference does it make 是「有什麼區別」
brought me some money 給某人帶來某物the driver's fault 是某人的錯knocking him over 把某人撞倒wondered about it 反覆琢磨某事
葬禮之後，馬丁斯登門拜訪安娜，一坐下就直問她對哈里的感情：in love with（愛著某人）嗎？安娜卻說自己什麼都不知道了 any more（不再），只知道她也想死。她本想賣掉別人送的威士忌，又提起哈里死時庫爾茨送錢、溫克醫生說哈里臨死前很不安。馬丁斯越聽越不對：出事那會兒，庫爾茨、波佩斯庫、哈里自己的司機和醫生竟全都在場，一個外人也沒有。安娜說她也 wondered about it（反覆琢磨）過上百遍；可馬丁斯追問時，她只回一句 what difference does it make（有什麼區別），說人已經死了。樓下門房說沒看清，只 heard the brakes（聽到剎車聲）。

“You were in love with him, weren't you?”
你愛過他，是不是？
把最難問出口的問題包進一句反意疑問，逼人承認又留了退路。
You were ..., weren't you?
想確認又不想太直接時能用；對剛喪親的人這樣問會顯得冒失。
You loved him, didn't you? ／ You were close to him, weren't you?
中性
in love with 連讀，weren't you 輕收上揚。
You were happy there, weren't you? 你在那兒過得挺開心，是不是？
“How can you know a thing like that afterwards?”
這種事，事後你怎麼能知道呢？
一句話推翻事後追認感情的整套邏輯，悲傷裡帶著清醒。
How can you know ... afterwards?
被追問難以確認的感受時能用；對方正難過時別用這種質問口氣。
How would anyone know that now? ／ You can't tell a thing like that later.
中性
know a thing 連讀，afterwards 重讀收尾。
How can you know what you felt back then? 當年是什麼感受，你現在怎麼說得清？
“I don't know anything any more, except I want to be dead, too.”
我什麼都不知道了，只知道我也想死。
把整個人的崩塌壓進一個 except，前面越空，後面越重。
I don't know anything ..., except ...
要表達徹底的絕望與失去時能用；這是很重的自白，別拿來開玩笑。
I know nothing now except that I want to be gone too. ／ Nothing makes sense any more, only that I want to join him.
literary
any more 輕讀，want to be dead 放慢。
I don't feel anything any more, except I miss her voice. 我什麼都感覺不到了，只是還想念她的聲音。
“There's nothing really to talk about, is there? Nothing.”
其實沒什麼好談的，對吧？沒什麼。
自己問自己答，用重複把話說死，也把對方堵在門外。
There's nothing ... to ..., is there?
想客氣地把話題掐斷時能用；對真心求助的人這樣說會顯得冷。
There's nothing to discuss, is there? ／ Nothing to say about it, really.
中性
to talk about 連讀，Nothing 單獨重讀。
There's nothing more to add, is there? 沒什麼可再補充的，對吧？
“What difference does it make? He's dead, isn't he?”
有什麼區別呢？他死了，不是嗎？
用最冷的反問堵住所有追問，悲痛到了盡頭就是無所謂。
What difference does it make?
覺得爭論、追查都沒意義時能用；對仍在努力的人這樣說會傷人。
What does it matter now? ／ Does any of it make a difference?
中性
What difference 連讀，isn't he 輕收上揚。
What difference does it make who was right? 誰對誰錯，又有什麼區別呢？
“Harry had often said what a careful driver he was.”
哈里常說他是個多小心的司機。
把死者生前的一句誇獎，變成整樁意外最刺眼的破綻。
someone had often said what a ... he was
轉述死者生前的話、引出疑點時能用；安慰人時別急著用它挑矛盾。
Harry always praised how careful he drove. ／ He used to say the man drove very safely.
中性
had often said 連讀，careful driver 重讀。
She had often said what a cautious man he was. 她常說他是個多麼謹慎的人。
下一章 · 06up to no good沒安好心這場戲：追問出神秘的第三人指愛著某人、對某人有男女之情。原句 You were in love with him 就是「你愛過他」，問得直接，也很扎心。
說 what difference does it make，常用來表示某件事已經不重要了。原句後面還補一句 He's dead, isn't he，語氣又冷又絕望。
指死因調查、驗屍審訊，由官方查明死因。原句 were you at the inquest 就是問對方有沒有參加驗屍。
說 knock someone over，多指車把人撞倒。原句說他自己的司機把他撞倒，正是把可疑之處一條條抖出來。
指「很痛苦、疼得厲害」，常見於 not in much pain 這種否定。原句說他沒有受多少罪，是拿醫生的話來安慰自己。
