這場戲：機上求救與軍方攔截
第 12 章 · 共 17 章 · 4'16"
飛機被劫後，一名乘務員好不容易 get through to（打通電話）聯合航空，報出 The airplane has been hijacked by three guys with knives（這架飛機被三個拿刀的傢伙劫持了）。與此同時，地面上有人追問戰鬥機在哪兒，有人盼著劫機者要 ransom（贖金）就會放人。想學怎麼在英語裡求救、通報，這些句子最直接。
她打電話報出 has been hijacked（遭到劫持）
has been hijacked 遭到劫持strapped around 綁在……上first class 頭等艙with knives 帶著刀
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 乘客安撫眾人
四句短句一路加碼，把「沒事」說得越滿，越顯出無人可依。
他要求戰機 into position（進入位置、就位）
I don't give a shit 我才不在乎a board full of planes 一整板都是飛機into position 到位、進入位置hit the ground 撞到地面
飛機被劫持後，機上一名乘務員打電話求助，自報姓名後說明 The airplane has been hijacked by three guys with knives（這架飛機被三個拿刀的傢伙劫持了），還提到有人腰上綁著炸彈。她好不容易 get through to（打通電話）聯合航空，卻只接到維修部門。艙裡有人猜劫機者要 ransom（贖金）就會放人，有人安慰大家 it's all right（沒事的）；地面上則追問戰鬥機在哪兒、能不能開火。想學怎麼用英語求救、通報、安撫，這些說法都能直接搬用。
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。
“The airplane has been hijacked by three guys with knives.”
這架飛機被三個拿刀的傢伙劫持了。
用被動語態平鋪直敘，把最可怕的實情說得像一條通報，冷靜得發冷。
The X has been hijacked by ...
通報已經發生的惡性事件時用；當著受害者家屬說太直，要委婉些。
Some men with knives have taken over the plane. ／ Three armed men are in control of the aircraft now.
正式
has been 輕讀連讀，three guys 重讀，knives 收尾要清楚。
The whole office has been locked down by security. 整間辦公室都被安保封鎖了。
“I don't give a shit about the CAP!”
我才不管什麼戰鬥空中巡邏！
一句粗話把官腔頂回去，怒火和不耐煩全砸在 give a shit 上，最出圈。
I don't give a shit about X
極度生氣、熟人之間才用；對客戶、長輩、鏡頭前都別說，太髒。
I couldn't care less about that acronym. ／ That means nothing to me right now.
口語
don't give a 連讀，shit about 弱讀，CAP 重讀爆發。
I don't give a shit about the paperwork right now. 現在我才不管那些表格。
“Listen to me. I've got a board full of planes.”
聽我說。我這一整板都是飛機。
board 一個字就把滿屏威脅擺到眼前，Listen to me 先堵住對方的爭辯。
I've got a X full of Y
要打斷爭論、把緊迫擺出來時用；對方在氣頭上，先讓他聽你說完。
Look at my screen, it is packed with targets. ／ Every one of these blips is a real plane.
口語
Listen to 連讀，board full of 連成一串，planes 降調收尾。
I've got a desk full of complaints to answer. 我桌上堆滿了要回的投訴。
“Think about what happens if they hit the ground.”
想想它們要是撞到地面會怎樣。
不喊命令，只讓你自己算後果，把責任推給對方，極有說服力。
Think about what happens if ...
要讓人自己權衡後果時用；對上級說像在施壓，措辭要收斂。
Just imagine the result if it comes down. ／ Picture what that would do on the ground.
中性
Think about 連讀，what happens if 連滑，ground 重讀收尾。
Think about what happens if we miss the deadline. 想想我們要是誤了截止日期會怎樣。
“I told them that the plane was hijacked. I mean, I don't know what else to say.”
我告訴他們飛機被劫持了。我是說，我也不知道還能說什麼。
報告完事實又補一句無助，把「已經盡力了」的崩潰說得毫不誇張。
I don't know what else to say.
自己已經盡力、對方還追問時用；正式彙報裡說會顯得沒準備好。
There is nothing more I can tell you. ／ I've said everything I know.
口語
told them that 弱讀，I mean 輕輕一帶，say 收住。
I called everyone. I don't know what else to say. 我每個人都打了電話。我真不知道還能說什麼。
“Where are they when we need them?”
我們需要他們的時候，他們在哪兒？
一句反問既是質問也是絕望，把「指望不上」問得人人能懂。
Where is X when we need them?
抱怨該來的人沒來時用；開會當面問同事會顯得在指責。
They never show up when it counts. ／ Funny how they vanish when you need them.
中性
Where are they 連讀，when we 弱讀，need them 重讀質問。
Where is the repairman when we need him? 我們需要修理工的時候，他人在哪兒？
We're going back to the airport, all right? We're going back to the airport. They're trained to deal with this situation. Okay? And they'll get us down on the ground, all right? Okay?
我們要回機場了，好嗎？ 我們要回機場了。 他們受過處理這種狀況的訓練。好嗎？ 他們會讓我們安全落地的，好嗎？好嗎？
下一章 · 13get through聯絡上這場戲：乘客發現飛行員倒在艙外意思是「聯絡上、打通電話」。臺詞裡 I got through to United 就是「我打通了聯合航空」，強調經過一番嘗試才接通。
ransom。臺詞裡他們會 ask for ransom，就是「索要贖金」；乘客還抱著他們會要錢然後放人的希望。
這是粗話，意思是「在乎、當回事」，多用在否定句裡。I don't give a shit about the CAP 就是「我才不管什麼戰鬥空中巡邏」，語氣很強硬。
意思是「按理應該」。They are supposed to be liaisoning with the military 就是「他們本該負責跟軍方聯絡」，常用來指出某人沒做到應做的事。
意思是「處理、收拾」。The police, they'll take care of them 就是「警察會收拾他們」，語氣是乘客在自我安慰、盼著有人來解決。
