這場戲：車裡逼搭檔講故事
第 2 章 · 共 23 章 · 3'40"
阿隆佐開車嫌搭檔話多，一句 keep your mouth shut（閉嘴、別多話）把他噎回去，又逼他講個故事解悶；傑克講了查酒駕攔車的經歷，連 light it up（拉響警燈警笛）都搬出來了，還被嫌無聊。想學美式搭檔之間互懟、施壓的口氣，這幾句夠味。

阿隆佐開車載著傑克巡邏，嫌他話多、讓自己看不成報紙，就用 keep your mouth shut（閉嘴、別多話）把他噎回去，再讓他講個故事解悶。傑克講了值夜班時查酒駕攔車的經歷：亮燈、鳴笛、現場測試、把醉漢銬起來，最後發現對方是取保候審的毒販，正要去滅口。阿隆佐卻嫌這故事無聊，追問他和女搭檔的緋聞，還拿口袋裡的錢開玩笑。下車換車時，傑克發現這車不是 motor pool（警局車隊）裡的。想學搭檔互懟、講故事和北美警察的日常用語，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。
“That's why I read it, because it entertains me.”
我讀它，就是因為它能解悶。
把看報這種小事說成一條理直氣壯的理由，聽著就有個性。
That's why I do X, because it Y.
解釋自己的小愛好時用，語氣輕鬆；正式說明理由要更嚴謹。
That's why I keep reading, because it relaxes me. ／ I read it purely for the fun of it.
口語
That's why 連讀，because 輕讀，entertains 重讀。
That's why I jog every morning, because it clears my head. 我每天早上跑步，就是因為它能讓我頭腦清醒。
“And the most entertaining story that you can come up with to tell me is a drunk stop.”
結果你能講給我聽的最有意思的故事，就是查酒駕？
用最長的鋪墊去貶低最短的結果，挖苦的勁全在這一句話裡。
The most entertaining story you can come up with is ...
半開玩笑地嫌對方講得沒勁時用；對剛認識的人說會顯得刻薄。
That's the best story you can come up with? ／ The most exciting thing you can tell me is that?
中性
most entertaining 重讀，末尾 drunk stop 降調收。
The most entertaining story you can come up with is a lost umbrella? 你能講出的最精彩的故事，就是丟了把傘？

這車不是局裡車隊的。
不提一句懷疑，只說來路，就讓人明白這事不對勁。

“He's on his way to smoke his ex-partner before trial.”

一句平平的行程描述，藏著一條命，冷得沒有一點修飾。
He's on his way to ...
轉述某人正要去做某件危險或嚴重的事時用；對當事人說這種話會像當面警告。
He's heading out to take care of his old partner. ／ He's on his way to do something serious.
口語
on his way 連讀，ex Partner 斷一下，Before trial 放慢。
He's on his way to hand in his badge this afternoon. 他今天下午就去交徽章辭職了。
All right, well, it was a quiet night. We're rolling on Vanowen. I'm driving. This Acura, just a beautiful car. Comes out a side street. All over the median. In excess. I light it up, hit the wailer. Guy drives on like I'm invisible. All right. Plates run clean. So I field test and arrest. And I'm belting him in our unit. And Debbie's tossing his car. She calls me over to the vehicle. Fully loaded and locked.
好吧，那天確實很安靜。 我們在瓦諾文街上巡邏，我開車。 有輛謳歌，那車真漂亮。 它從一條小街衝出來。 直接壓過中央分隔帶，超速得厲害。 我亮起警燈，拉響警笛，那傢伙照開不誤，當我是空氣。 好，車牌一查是乾淨的。我做了現場測試，把他銬了，押進我們車裡。 黛比在搜他的車。 她把我叫過去。 子彈上滿，保險也開著。
下一章 · 03slap the taste out of your mouth狠狠一巴掌教訓你這場戲：重罪攔截搜身字面是「把你的嘴閉緊」，意思是讓人「閉嘴、別多話」，語氣不太客氣；劇裡阿隆佐嫌傑克話多，就用它把人噎回去。
light it up。劇裡講巡邏時 I light it up, hit the wailer，就是亮起警燈、拉響警笛去攔車；也可以說 hit the lights。
指警局統一排程、停放車輛的車庫或車隊；劇中傑克一看就說這車不是從那兒來的，暗示這輛車不是局裡配的，來路不一般。
on bail。劇中 Turns out this DUI is on bail for distribution，就是查酒駕那人竟是販毒案取保候審出來的，正等著上庭。
可以說 tell me a story。阿隆佐就是用 Tell me a story 逼傑克開口，前面還甩一句 keep your mouth shut，語氣是命令式的。
