這場戲：夢見金獎券與生日驚喜
第 3 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'54"
有人一口咬定夢見了金獎券的下落，醫生先教訓他 to believe in one's dreams is a manifestation of insanity（相信夢就是精神失常），轉頭又急著追問券到底在哪兒。新聞宣佈首張券在德國被找到，查理生日開巧克力，結果只是 Fooled you（騙到你了吧）。想學嘴上一套心裡一套的英文，這段很有戲。
❝ 獨白 · 6 句 make a difference 是「起作用」
stop believing 忍不住繼續相信、停不下來The sooner 越早…就越早…What difference does that make 那有什麼區別
Fooled you 是「騙到你了吧」
the same chance as 跟別人一樣有機會Fooled you 騙到你了吧
診室裡，霍夫斯泰德堅持說自己夢見了金獎券的下落，醫生卻按著套路講：to believe in one's dreams is a manifestation of insanity（相信自己的夢就是精神失常），還勸他，The sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll get well（越早接受越早康復）。可他反問 What difference does that make（那有什麼區別），醫生反而繃不住，急著問券到底在哪兒。新聞直播：首張金獎券在德國小鎮杜塞爾海姆出現，被奧古斯特·格魯普找到，他母親說 Eating is his hobby（吃就是他的愛好）。回到查理家，家人給他過生日，開巧克力時的期待落空，他笑著說 Fooled you（騙到你了吧）。raise hopes 是給空指望；cost a fortune 是花一大筆錢；bolts of lightning 是一道道閃電。
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。
“I'm still having these dreams, Doctor, and I still can't stop believing them.”
醫生，我還在做那些夢，還是忍不住相信它們。
用 still 重複把執念寫得又頑固又可憐，一句話說盡病人的狀態。
I still can't stop doing ...
承認自己戒不掉某個念頭或習慣時用；正式報告裡換成 cannot。
I still can't stop thinking about it. ／ I keep believing it, even now.
中性
重讀兩個 still，can't stop 連讀，believing 尾音輕。
I still can't stop checking my phone at midnight. 我半夜還是忍不住看手機。
“to believe in one's dreams is a manifestation of insanity.”
相信自己的夢，是精神失常的一種表現。
把一句冷冰冰的診斷說得像格言，抽象名詞堆出權威感。
To do X is a manifestation of Y.
嚴肅或諷刺地下判斷時用；日常聊天這樣說會顯得端著。
Believing such things is a sign of illness. ／ That kind of hope is a symptom, not a plan.
正式
重讀 believe in 和 insanity，句子中段不停頓。
To trust a fortune cookie is a manifestation of optimism. 信幸運餅乾，算是樂觀的表現。
“The sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll get well.”
你越早接受這一點，就越早康復。
the sooner...the sooner 把勸告變成公式，冷靜又有壓迫感。
The sooner ..., the sooner ...
勸人早點面對現實、早做早好時用；不適合拿來安慰傷心的人。
The earlier you accept it, the faster you recover. ／ Accept it now and you'll be better sooner.
中性
兩個 the sooner 重讀，you'll get well 連讀收尾。
The sooner you start, the sooner you'll finish. 你越早開始，就越早結束。
“What difference does that make? This was a dream, a fantasy.”
那有什麼區別？那只是個夢，一個幻想。
一句反問把追問擋回去，再用兩個名詞把整件事輕飄飄地否掉。
What difference does that make?
覺得對方糾結的點根本不重要時用；對上級用會顯得頂撞。
Does it really matter? ／ What does that change?
口語
What difference 連讀，does that make 降調，句末短促。
What difference does that make? We missed the train anyway. 那有什麼要緊？反正我們都沒趕上火車。
“I've got the same chance as anybody else.”
我跟別的人一樣有機會。
用 the same...as 把不服氣說得平靜，是孩子式的倔強。
I've got the same ... as anybody else.
被小看、被特殊對待時平靜地回一句；正式爭辯可換 have。
I have just as much right as anyone. ／ I'm no worse off than the rest.
中性
same chance as 連讀，anybody else 重讀 else。
I've got the same training as anybody else here. 我跟這兒任何人受的訓練都一樣。
“Fooled you, didn't I? You thought I really had it.”
騙到你了吧？你以為我真拿到了。
先亮出騙局再加一句戳穿，惡作劇的得意全在這兩問裡。
Fooled you, didn't I?
朋友間開玩笑得逞後說；對剛認識的人或長輩別用。
Got you, didn't I? ／ Admit it, you believed me.
口語
Fooled you 連讀，didn't I 輕快上揚。
Fooled you, didn't I? The meeting is next week. 騙到你了吧？會是在下週。
We began with five Golden Tickets. Like five lucky bolts of lightning ready to strike at any point on the map. No one knew where or when the first one would hit. But as you all know, last night we got our answer. While we in America slept, the first Golden Ticket was found... in the small town of Duselheim, Germany.
一開始有五張金獎券。 就像五道幸運的閃電，隨時會落在地圖上任何一個地方。 沒人知道第一張會在何時何地出現。 但大家都知道，昨晚我們有了答案。 我們美國人還在睡夢中時，第一張金獎券被找到了…… 就在德國的小鎮杜塞爾海姆。
下一章 · 04put a jerk in it麻利點這場戲：為金獎券對爸爸撒潑指帶來改變、起作用。原句 What difference does that make?，就是「那有什麼區別」，用來質疑對方的話有沒有意義。
說 get well，比如 get well soon（早日康復）。原句 the sooner you'll get well，就是「你就越早好起來」。
說 cost a fortune，fortune 指一筆鉅款。原句 It's gonna cost him a fortune，就是「這得讓他花一大筆錢」，口語裡很常用。
說 raise hopes，指讓人心存希望，常帶「希望可能落空」的意味。原句 Don't raise his hopes，就是「別給他空指望」。
是口語「騙到你了吧」，常用在開玩笑之後。原句 Fooled you, didn't I?，就是「騙到你了吧？」，語氣俏皮。
