這場戲：坐上旺卡車兜風
第 16 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'31"
旺卡揭幕旺卡車，一句 Behold the Wonkamobile（看哪，旺卡車），再往車裡灌滿汽水當燃料，說 It's got more gas in it than a politician（這車氣比政客還多），然後 Hold on tight（抓穩了）一路狂飆。結果汽水全噴到乘客身上，有人只能喊 I'm sending you the cleaning bill（乾洗費賬單寄給你），下車還要踩旱冰鞋。
「留個心眼」：keep your eyes open
Behold the Wonkamobile 看哪，旺卡車grab a seat 趕緊佔個位子坐keep your eyes open 留個心眼、盯著點open her up 把動力全開
口語裡的「老天爺」：the good Lord
It'll never come out 根本洗不掉the cleaning bill 乾洗費的賬單spelled backwards 倒著拼寫the good Lord 老天爺
旺卡揭幕旺卡車，一句 Behold the Wonkamobile（看哪，旺卡車）就開始灌燃料：ginger ale、ginger pop、bubble cola，全是碳酸飲料，還說 Few people realize the tremendous power in those things（很少有人意識到這些東西里藏多大勁）。他讓查理別多問，keep your eyes open and your mouth shut（睜大眼睛，把嘴閉緊），再 Hold on tight（抓穩了），把車子 open her up（把油門踩到底）。車速快得眾人被汽水澆透，有人威脅要寄 cleaning bill（乾洗費賬單）。最後車停，大家問只到這兒嗎，旺卡回一句 the good Lord 的玩笑，還請所有人換上旱冰鞋。
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。
“Well, we still have each other. Shall we press on?”
沒事，我們還有彼此。繼續往前走嗎？
先接住同伴的失落，再輕輕問一句要不要繼續，安慰和主見都在裡面。
We still have each other. Shall we ...?
隊伍受挫、同伴洩氣時用來打氣並問下一步；正式報告裡別這麼隨口說。
At least we still have each other. ／ Shall we carry on?
中性
still have 連讀，press on 重音落在 on，句尾放輕。
We still have each other. Shall we keep climbing? 我們還有彼此。繼續爬嗎？
“Just keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.”
睜大眼睛，把嘴閉緊。
兩句對仗的口令，把盯緊和別多嘴一次說清，乾脆又好記。
keep your eyes open and your mouth shut
提醒同伴留心又別亂說話時用；對上司或長輩說會顯得冒犯，別用。
Keep your eyes peeled and your mouth closed. ／ Watch and don't say a word.
口語
兩個 keep 句節奏要齊，eyes open 連讀。
Just keep your eyes open and your mouth shut out there. 上場後就睜大眼睛，把嘴閉緊。
“It should. It's got more gas in it than a politician.”
應該會。這裡面的氣比政客還多。
借政客的「全是空話」來接「夠不夠快」，一句冷笑話就出圈。
It's got more X in it than a Y.
熟人之間拿某人或某物開玩笑時用；正式場合或對領導別這麼說。
It's got more gas than a hot-air balloon. ／ More hot air than a debate club.
口語
more gas in it 連讀，than a 輕讀，politician 重音在 -ti-。
He's got more hot air in him than a balloon. 他肚子裡的空話比氣球還多。
“Hold on tight. I'm going to open her up and see what she can do.”
抓穩了。我要把油門踩到底，看看她有多大能耐。
先把人按住，再宣告飆車，動作片臺詞一樣的節奏，很旺卡。
Hold on tight. I'm going to open her up.
要帶人體驗刺激或啟動某臺機器前用；日常開車對乘客說很自然。
Hold on tight, I'm flooring it. ／ Brace yourself, she's got power.
口語
Hold on 連讀成 hold-on，open her up 一氣呵成。
Hold on tight, I'm going to open her up. 坐穩了，我要把油門踩到底。
“If the good Lord had intended us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates.”
要是老天爺想讓我們走路，他就不會發明旱冰鞋了。
拿老天爺和旱冰鞋開玩笑，把偷懶說成天意，很有梗。
If ... had intended ..., ... wouldn't have ...
用誇張假設給自己找藉口、逗人笑時用；嚴肅討論裡別講這種歪理。
If we were meant to walk, cars would never have been built. ／ God gave us wheels for a reason.
口語
had intended 弱讀，wouldn't have 連讀，句尾降調。
If he'd meant us to climb, he wouldn't have invented the elevator. 要是他想讓我們爬樓，就不會發明電梯了。
下一章 · 17TV dinner電視快餐這場戲：把人用電視傳送意思是「繼續往前走、接著幹」。原句 Shall we press on，就是「我們繼續往前走嗎」，走路、做事都能用。
說 keep your eyes open。原句 keep your eyes open and your mouth shut，就是「睜大眼睛，把嘴閉緊」，提醒別人機靈點、別多話。
說 hold on tight，tight 就是牢牢地。原句 Hold on tight，就是開車前那句「抓穩了」，坐過山車時也會喊。
本意是氣、汽油，這裡一語雙關。原句 got more gas in it than a politician，表面說這車氣多，其實拿政客的「空話」開玩笑。
說 come out，專門形容汙漬能不能洗掉。原句 It'll never come out，就是「這根本洗不掉」，衣服沾上東西時常說。
