這場戲：牌桌上聽人說真相
第 19 章 · 共 23 章 · 4'05"
阿隆佐帶傑克去牌局，桌上的人卻悄悄把真相告訴傑克：阿隆佐上個星期在拉斯維加斯打死了一個有來頭的人，現在欠了俄國人一百萬。他們說他 I think Alonzo played you for a fool（把你當傻子耍），還說 There is nothing out there for you（外面沒有你的路）。想學牌桌黑話和背後說人，這段最帶勁。
「外面沒有你的路」：nothing out there for you
nothing out there 外面沒有機會played you for a fool 把你當傻子耍your deal 該你發牌

阿隆佐把傑克帶到一場牌局，桌上幾個人一邊打牌一邊插科打諢，還讓傑克把槍拿出來看。牌桌上真正的話題卻是阿隆佐：有人說 Alonzo played you for a fool（阿隆佐把你當傻子耍了），還有人告訴傑克 There is nothing out there for you（外面沒有你的路）。接著他們道出真相——阿隆佐上星期在拉斯維加斯打死了一個有來頭的人，現在欠俄國人一百萬，今晚必須還清；他搶了羅傑才湊到這筆 blood money（血錢），要是午夜前不帶著現金到市中心，他就死定了。想學牌桌黑話和背後說人的英文，這幾句都很帶勁。

“But see, here's where the problem comes into play.”
可你看，問題就出在這兒。
一句「問題來了」把閒話拐進正題，牌桌的氣氛瞬間變了。
Here's where ... comes into play.

problem 重讀，comes into play 連成一氣。
That's where timing comes into play. 關鍵就在時機上。
“I think Alonzo played you for a fool, Tse.”

不繞彎子，直接把「你被耍了」甩在桌上，是掀桌的一句。
Someone played you for a fool.
點破對方被人利用時用，語氣直；對不熟的人說容易翻臉。
He took you for a fool. ／ You got played, plain and simple.

played you for a 連讀，fool 重讀點出。

“Nobody thought he could get cash that big.”
沒人想到他能弄到那麼大一筆現金。
用一句眾人的低估，反襯出這筆錢來路多兇險。
Nobody thought he could ...
感嘆某人做出了超出預料的事時用，褒貶都行，看語氣。
No one believed he could pull that off. ／ Everyone doubted he could raise that much.

外面沒有你的路。
不說威脅，只替對方判死路，平靜裡透著一股不許反駁的冷。
There's nothing out there for you.
勸人別再折騰、斷掉對方念想時用；對正在低谷的人說會顯得落井下石。
There's nothing for you out there. ／ Out there, you've got nothing waiting.
中性
nothing out there 連讀，for you 放輕收尾。
Don't bother chasing that scene; there's nothing out there for you. 別去追那個圈子了，外面沒有你的路。
