這場戲：坦白過去並承諾
第 16 章 · 共 20 章 · 5'04"
克萊爾一件件追問，道格有問必答：早就知道她是銀行經理、跟蹤過她、搶過六輛運鈔車兩家銀行。他保證 I will never lie to you again（我再也不會騙你了），還說 if I lose you, I will regret that for the rest of my life（要是失去你，我會後悔一輩子）。想學怎麼向人坦白、鄭重承諾，這段最打動人。
「我會後悔一輩子」：for the rest of my life
tell you the truth 跟你說實話killed anyone 殺過人the rest of my life 餘生、剩下的日子
❝ 獨白 · 21 句 弗格森教堂獨白
從看臉認出父輩，講到拳臺、內線，最後落到那棟樓，節奏像慢慢收緊的繩。
道格要離開一陣子，臨行前被克萊爾一件件追問：他早就知道她是那家銀行的經理，還跟蹤過她；他搶過六輛運鈔車、兩家銀行，卻從沒殺過人。道格答應 I will never lie to you again（我再也不會騙你了），也說 Ask me anything you want（你想問什麼就問），只求她 Just wait for me（等我）。另一頭，他替弗格森接下那票劫案，放話要是她出事，就回來收拾他們；而計劃的關鍵是找到 weak spot（薄弱環節）——大教堂裡的內線。想學坦白、承諾和放狠話的英文，這幾個說法都用得上。

“Tell him I say yes for me, will you?”
替我告訴他，我答應了，行嗎？
把答應不答應當成一件事託人轉達，一句話顯出他對傑姆的信任和依賴。
Tell him I ... , will you?
託人帶話、請對方轉達時用；對不太熟的人這麼講略顯隨意。
Let him know I'm in, would you? ／ Tell him yes for me.
口語
Tell him 連讀，say yes 重讀，句尾 will you 輕快上揚。
Let him know I'm in for me, will you? 替我告訴他，我加入，行嗎？
“And I'm gonna kill both of you in your own shop.”
我會在你們自己的店裡把你們倆都宰了。
威脅不說後果，只說地點，把「在你自己地盤上」這層侮辱說滿了。
I'm gonna ... in your own ...
撂狠話、劃底線時用；玩笑的場合千萬別這麼說。
I'll come for both of you right here. ／ You won't be safe in your own shop.
口語
gonna kill 連讀，your own shop 逐詞加重。
If you touch my family, I'll find you in your own house. 你要是動我家人，我就去你家找你。
“Because you'll fucking hate the answers.”
因為那些答案會讓你恨得不行。
用一句髒話把「真相很傷人」說得又狠又真，比任何解釋都直接。
Because you'll hate the answers.
坦白前先打預防針時用；正式談話裡要去掉髒字。
You're not going to like what I say. ／ The truth won't be kind to you.
口語
Because you'll 連讀，fucking 重讀，answers 收尾下沉。
Ask if you want, but you'll hate the answers. 想問就問，可答案你未必愛聽。
“...and if I lose you, I will regret that for the rest of my life.”
……要是失去你，我會後悔一輩子。
把一輩子的遺憾壓在條件句裡，承諾不再靠嘴硬，靠的是代價。
If I lose you, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
對重要的人表決心時用；日常輕描淡寫地說會顯得太重。
Losing you is something I'd never get over. ／ I'd carry that regret to the end.
中性
if I lose you 放慢，the rest of my life 逐詞重讀收尾。
If I lose this chance, I will regret it for the rest of my life. 要是錯過這個機會，我會後悔一輩子。
“Well, if they were easy, kid, everybody would do them.”
要是容易，小子，誰都能幹了。
一句老江湖的實話，把風險說成門檻，也是在替這場大案壯膽。
If they were easy, everybody would do them.
鼓勵人接難題、解釋門檻時用；對上級這麼說容易顯得輕慢。
Nothing worth doing is easy. ／ Easy jobs aren't worth much.
口語
if they were easy 輕快帶過，everybody 重讀。
If it were easy, everybody would do it. 要是這事兒簡單，誰都能幹了。
You know, it's funny. loan see your daddies' faces in you. All of youse. Reminds me I'm still in the ring. Still taking the punches. Still ahead on points. Now, I have a fellow on the inside there. He likes to play the ponies. Has a gambling sickness. He couldn't pick a horse to save his fucking life. But courtesy of this sick man... ...I have this, Hm? Well, the gang's all here. There's always a weak spot. We just need to find it. That is when you hit. And Monday morning, after a four-game stand with New York... Taking down the cathedral of Boston. Priceless. How long you think it's gonna take Rusty to dump the inside man... ...when this thing's over? Well, he should have picked better horses. This is gonna be a motherfucker. You know that, right? Well, if they were easy, kid, everybody would do them.
你知道，說來好笑，我在你們身上都能看到你們父親的臉。 你們這幫人個個都是。 這提醒我，我還在拳臺上。 還在挨著拳頭，點數還領先。 現在，我在那邊有個自己人。 他喜歡賭馬，有賭癮。 他挑馬的本事爛到家，簡直沒救。 不過多虧這個病態的傢伙…… ……我弄到了這個，嗯？ 好嘛，人都到齊了。 總有薄弱環節。 我們只要找到它就行。 那就是你下手的時候。 週一早上，跟紐約打完四連戰之後…… 端掉波士頓的大教堂。 無價。 你覺得拉斯蒂要多久才會把那個內線甩掉…… ……等這事兒一結束？ 那他當初就該挑匹好馬。 這票會他媽要命。你知道吧？ 要是容易，小子，誰都能幹了。
下一章 · 17chase the rabbit盯住目標去追這場戲：酒吧閒聊又核對下一票指「被盯上、正被追查」，常用來形容被警方或輿論盯得緊。劇中 Are you taking heat? 就是問「你是不是被人盯上了」。
weak spot，也可以說 weak point。劇中 There's always a weak spot 就是「總有薄弱環節」，指再嚴密的計劃也有軟肋。
tell you the truth，常放在句子開頭，比如 Let me tell you the truth。劇中人說 I'll tell you the truth，就是「我會跟你說實話」。
意思是「我的餘生、往後一輩子」，用來強調影響會持續一生。劇中 I will regret that for the rest of my life 就是「我會後悔一輩子」。
在 couldn't pick a horse to save his life 這類句子裡，to save his life 是加強否定的說法，意思是「拼了命也辦不到、完全不行」。
