這場戲：毒販家講笑與哭
第 6 章 · 共 23 章 · 5'01"
阿隆佐帶傑克去毒販家，傑克被灌得神志不清。阿隆佐講了個蝸牛的笑話，又丟擲他的街頭哲學：說到底就是 smiles and cries（笑和哭），你得 control your smiles and cries（管住自己的情緒），因為這是誰也奪不走的東西。想聽懂老警察的江湖課，這段最有味道。
有人給他亮了「放行」燈：green light
had a beef 跟人結了梁子green light 放行、准許動手got your back 給你撐腰、挺你
❝ 獨白 · 14 句 蝸牛的笑話
一個慢吞吞的動物，被講成一套脾氣與代價。
阿隆佐帶傑克來到一個毒販家裡。對方先跟阿隆佐寒暄，說拉斯維加斯有人跟他結了梁子，俄國人想要他的腦袋，還說 There's a green light on your ass（有人已經獲准動手）。接著他們給傑克灌了藥，傑克很快神志不清。阿隆佐不慌不忙，講了個蝸牛的笑話，又說你把這笑話琢磨透了，就能把街頭琢磨透；最後丟擲他的街頭哲學——說到底就是 smiles and cries（笑和哭），你得 control your smiles and cries（管住自己的情緒），因為這是誰也奪不走的東西。想學街頭行話和老警察的江湖課，這幾句都很帶感。
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。
“There's a green light on your ass.”
有人已經放話要你的命了。
一個路口的詞被挪到街頭，輕飄飄一句就把殺機說滿。
There's a green light on someone.
只在關係近的人之間說狠話時用；對不熟的人說就是挑釁。
Someone put a target on your back. ／ There's a price on your head.
口語
green light 連讀，on your 一帶而過，句尾壓低。
Watch yourself, there's a green light on your ass after that deal. 小心點，那筆交易之後有人盯上你了。
“Yeah, you got to. You got to control your smiles and cries.”
是啊，你得管住你的笑和哭。
把情緒管理說成笑和哭，兩句重複，像是敲進人腦子裡。
You got to control your ...
勸人穩住情緒、別露底時用；輕鬆場合會顯得太重。
You have to keep your feelings in check. ／ You need to hold your face still.
口語
got to 濁化成 gotta，兩次重複要一次比一次重。
You got to control your temper out there. 到了場上你得管住自己的脾氣。
“And nobody can take that away from you.”
誰也別想從你身上奪走。
短句卻站得住，把最後一點尊嚴釘死了。
Nobody can take that away from you.
安慰或鼓勵人時用；對長輩說會顯得輕慢。
No one can strip that from you. ／ That is yours and no one can touch it.
中性
take that away 連讀，nobody 重讀，句尾下沉。
Whatever they say, nobody can take that away from you. 不管他們怎麼說，誰也別想從你身上奪走。
“I can't do a thing for you. It's your mess. You clean it up.”
我幫不了你，這是你自己闖的禍，自己收拾。
三句話一層層收口，把撇清關係說得像講道理，交情到這兒就斷了。
It's your mess, you clean it up.
對方自己惹了麻煩卻想拉你一起擔時用；對開口求你幫忙的人說過於絕情。
It's your mess, you deal with it. ／ You made it, you fix it.
口語
can't do a thing 連讀，your mess 和 clean it up 都重讀。
I had no part in this; it's your mess, you clean it up. 這事我沒參與，禍是你闖的，自己收拾。
Here's a joke, boy. A man walks out of his house on his way to work. Sees this snail lying on his porch. So he picks it up, chucks it over the roof. Into the backyard. Snail bounces off a rock. Busts its shell up all to shit. Lands in the grass. Hmm. Snail lies there dying. But the snail doesn't die. And then after a while it can crawl again. And one day the snail up and heads back. To the front of the house. And finally, after, oh, about a year. The little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then the man walks out of his house. On his way to work. He sees this snail again. So he looks at it and he says... What the fuck is your problem?
小子，給你講個笑話 有個人出門去上班，看見門廊上趴著一隻蝸牛 他就把它撿起來，扔過屋頂，丟進後院 蝸牛撞在石頭上，殼摔得稀巴爛 落在草叢裡 嗯，蝸牛躺在那兒快死了 可蝸牛沒死 過了一會兒，它又能爬了 有一天，蝸牛爬起來，往屋子前面爬 最後，大概過了一年吧 這小傢伙又爬回了門廊 就在這時候，那人出門上班，又看見了這隻蝸牛 於是他看著它說 你他媽有病吧
下一章 · 07pressing business更要緊的事這場戲：當街逼問嫌犯指「放行、准許動手」，來自紅綠燈。劇裡 There's a green light on your ass 就是「有人已經放話要對你下手」，等於給你亮了放行的訊號。
clean up your mess，也可以說 clean it up。劇裡 It's your mess. You clean it up 就是「這是你自己闖的禍，自己收拾」，冷冰冰地劃清界限。
指「生手、沒經驗的菜鳥」。劇裡 Think this greenhorn can handle undercover 就是「你覺得這生瓜蛋子幹得了臥底嗎」，帶點輕視。
all about。劇裡 It's all about smiles and cries 就是「說白了就是笑和哭」，用來說某件事的核心所在。
control your smiles and cries，字面是「管住自己的笑和哭」。劇裡用它說在街頭要藏住情緒，別讓人看出你在想什麼。
