這場戲：發現折磨她的是他
第 19 章 · 共 25 章 · 3'25"
伊芙終於見到那張臉：剪她頭髮、折磨她的就是 V。她問他為什麼，V 只說 I wish there'd been an easier way（真希望當時有更簡單的辦法）。他承認編了一個謊言，因為藝術家 use lies to tell the truth（用謊言講真話），正因她信了，才發現比命更重要的東西。想學怎麼給傷害找說法，這段很典型。

伊芙在牢房裡熬過酷刑、以為自己會被處死，如今卻站在 V 面前，發現剪她頭髮、折磨她的正是這個人：You tortured me.（是你折磨我。）她問他為什麼，V 的解釋是：她當初 refuse to give in（不肯屈服），在牢房裡找到了比命更重要的東西；他編了一個謊言，因為藝術家 use lies to tell the truth（用謊言講真話），而正因她信了，才發現了真實的自己。這段最適合學怎麼為傷害找說法，give in（屈服、讓步）、has nothing to do with（和……毫無關係）都能直接用。

把一場折磨追回到對方最初的心願，一句就問到了根上。

用極短的 Commit to it 收尾，像給一個決定蓋章。

They put you in a cell and took everything they could take... ...except your life. And you believed that was all there was, didn't you? The only thing you had left was your life, but it wasn't. -Oh, please. -You found something else. In that cell, you found something that mattered more to you than life. When they threatened to kill you unless you gave what they wanted... ...you told them you'd rather die. You faced your death, Evey. You were calm. You were still.
聽我說，伊芙。 這可能是你一生中最重要的時刻。認真面對它。 他們奪走了你的父母。他們奪走了你的哥哥。 他們把你關進牢房，奪走了他們能奪走的一切…… ……除了你的命。 而你以為，剩下的就只有這些了，是不是？ 你以為你只剩下一條命，可事實並非如此。 ——哦，求你了。——你找到了別的東西。 在那間牢房裡，你找到了一樣比命更重要的東西。 當他們威脅你，說你不交出他們要的東西就殺了你…… ……你告訴他們，你寧肯死。 你直面了自己的死亡，伊芙。 你很平靜。你一動不動。
下一章 · 20getting back at報復這場戲：臨別道出復仇真相字面是「用謊言講真話」。V 用它解釋自己編造的牢房：故事是假的，但伊芙在裡面感受到的勇氣和真實是真的。
give in。refuse to give in 就是不肯屈服、咬住不鬆口，常用來誇一個人在壓力下沒有低頭。
has nothing to do with。比如 What you felt in there has nothing to do with me. 意思是你在裡面感受到的東西跟我毫無關係。
不是。這裡的 commit to 是認真投入、豁出去做，V 讓伊芙別逃，正面接住這個最重要的時刻。
字面是「你有病」，口語裡是罵對方心理扭曲、變態，比 evil 更針對精神狀態。
