這場戲：痛打賣毒者逼問
第 8 章 · 共 20 章 · 5'03"
道格和傑姆打上門，教訓一個在街區賣毒的傢伙。有人撂下一句 Deal gone south（買賣黃了），再警告他 But just remember, I seen yours too（記住，我也看清你的臉了）。想學街頭翻臉時那種冷狠的口氣，這段最有味。
街頭威脅：chill（冷靜點），just remember（你只要記住）
chill 冷靜點、別激動the cops 報警、把事告訴警察just remember 你只要記住、別忘了
❝ 獨白 · 19 句 童年往事：woke me up（把我吵醒了），父親在廚房哭
woke me up 把我吵醒了got trapped 被困住、被卡住what else to do 不知道還能做什麼
這條街區的規矩靠拳頭來定：有人打上門，把一個在附近賣毒的傢伙揍了一頓，甩下一句 Deal gone south（買賣黃了），走前還不忘警告他 But just remember, I seen yours too（記住，我也看清你的臉了）。另一邊，聯調局在翻一個叫德斯的人的檔案：他在維裡康上班，從沒蹲過監獄，靠的是 no-show job（掛名不幹活的閒差）和一張偽造的考勤卡；探員把他的病假和幾起劫案一一對上。隨後是道格和克萊爾的深夜對話，聊到各自的父母和童年。想學街頭狠話、職場行話，還有講往事時的口氣，這幾個說法都用得上。
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。
“I can't be up there killing people, man.”
兄弟，我不能在上面殺人啊。
全片最要緊的一條底線，卻用最平常、最疲憊的語氣說出來。
I can't be doing something
表明自己絕不做某件事時用；對上司或長輩可換成正式說法。
I can't be part of that. ／ I'm not doing that, man.
口語
can't 重讀，killing people 連讀，末尾 man 輕收。
I can't be lying to my own family. 我不能騙自己家裡人。
“But just remember, I seen yours too.”
但你記著，我也看清你的臉了。
不喊不叫，一句對等的威脅，把雙方的把柄都擺上桌。
just remember, ... too
放狠話、提醒對方別亂來時用；對朋友或長輩別用。
Just remember, you started it. ／ And don't forget, I was there too.
口語
just remember 輕快帶過，yours too 重讀收尾。
Just remember, I have proof too. 你記著，我手裡也有證據。
“I never heard a man cry before.”
我從沒聽過男人哭。
用孩子的眼睛一句話就擊中人，比任何哭喊都安靜。
I never heard someone do something before
講第一次經歷的震撼時用；正式敘述裡可換成過去完成時。
I'd never seen him like that before. ／ I never saw my father cry until then.
中性
never heard 連讀，man cry 稍停，再說 before。
I never heard my father raise his voice before. 在那之前我從沒聽過我爸提高嗓門。
“He said, "Your mother left. She's not coming back."”
他說，'你媽走了。她不會回來了。'
轉述父親的原話，短句像判決，把童年的斷裂釘在原地。
He said, "... She's not coming back."
轉述別人下結論的話時用；寫正式文要改回間接引語。
She's gone and she isn't coming back. ／ He told me she wouldn't return.
中性
She's not 連讀，coming back 尾音放平，不拖長。
He said, "The job is gone. Don't count on it." 他說，'這工作沒了，別指望了。'
“I think he just didn't know what else to do.”
我想他只是不知道該做什麼好。
把父親的崩潰說成一句體諒，孩子的懂事全在這半句裡。
not know what else to do
替別人解釋無奈處境時用；正式場合可換成 no other option。
He had no other option. ／ There was nothing else he could do.
中性
just 弱讀，what else to do 一氣連讀。
She just didn't know what else to do, so she stayed. 她也不知道還能怎麼辦，就留下了。
This sound woke me up. At first I didn't know what it was. Sounded like an animal that got trapped. I never heard a man cry before. I came downstairs in my underwear. I see my father in the kitchen. First thing I remember was the ashtray. Must have been a hundred cigarettes in there. Ash like a little mountain. He stopped crying... ...was just sitting there watching TV on a little black-and-white. No sound. I think he just didn't know what else to do. He looked at me standing there in the doorway in my Underoos. He said, "Your mother left. She's not coming back." Just like that. Smoking cigarettes and eating a TV dinner at 6 in the morning. We lost our dog the year before... ...and I wanted to make these posters...
我被一個聲音吵醒了。 一開始我不知道那是什麼聲音。 聽起來像一隻被困住的動物。 我從沒聽過男人哭。 我穿著內褲下了樓。 我看見我爸在廚房裡。 我頭一個記住的是那個菸灰缸。 裡面準有一百個菸頭。 菸灰堆得像座小山。 他止住了哭…… ……就坐在那兒，盯著一臺小小的黑白電視看。 沒有聲音。 我想他只是不知道該做什麼好。 我穿著卡通內褲站在門口，他看著我。 他說，'你媽走了。她不會回來了。' 就這麼一句。 早上六點，一邊抽菸，一邊吃著速凍便餐。 前一年我們丟了狗…… ……我想做幾張尋狗啟事……
下一章 · 09come to terms with慢慢接受這場戲：回憶母親離家那晚意思是「出岔子、黃了」。劇中 Deal gone south 就是「買賣黃了」，go south 常用來指計劃、生意或局勢突然變糟。
最口語的說法就是 chill，也可以說 chill out。劇裡有人連喊 Chill, man，就是讓對方別激動、別衝動。
指「掛名不幹活的閒差」，名義上有職位、拿工資，人卻不用上班。劇中探員說這些劫匪很多都有 no-show job，靠它掩人耳目。
常用 Just remember... 起頭，比如 But just remember, I seen yours too，就是「但你記著，我也看清你的臉了」，警告對方別去報警。
made it out。劇中他說 my father finally made it out to the suburbs，就是「我爸總算搬出了查爾斯鎮，到郊區去了」。
