這場戲：看守所裡的道理課
第 19 章 · 共 27 章 · 3'50"
柯比因為這場抓捕被關進看守所，範德霍夫來探望，講起自己當年的事：it struck me I wasn't having any fun（我忽然意識到自己一點都不快活）。他還說 You can't take it with you（錢是帶不走的）。柯比卻認定自己被耍了，說這是 caught in your own trap（作繭自縛）。想學怎麼講道理，這些說法很實用。
「錢是帶不走的」：you can't take it with you（錢帶不走）
it struck me 我忽然想到、意識到took up 開始學、重新玩起As near as I can see 依我看、就我所知
「作繭自縛」：caught in your own trap（自食其果）
just a starter 才剛開始、只是開頭get out 滾出去caught in your own trap 作繭自縛、自食其果
柯比因為這場抓捕被關在看守所，火氣很大，說兒子都快被人搶走，擔心這事 jeopardize the biggest deal of my career（毀掉事業上最大的一筆交易）。範德霍夫卻讓他 Stop worrying（別瞎操心），還講起自己三十五年前的轉折：going up in the elevator, it struck me I wasn't having any fun（坐電梯上樓時忽然意識到自己一點都不快活），於是他當場下樓再沒回去，後來集郵、逛動物園、重拾口琴。他給柯比的道理是：You can't take it with you（錢是帶不走的），唯一能帶走的是 the love of your friends（朋友的愛）。可布萊克利一到，柯比才明白是他安排的抓捕，罵他 caught in your own trap（作繭自縛）。想學怎麼講道理、怎麼放狠話，這些說法都很實用。
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。
“You can't take it with you, Mr. Kirby. So what good is it?”
柯比先生，錢是帶不走的。那它有什麼用呢？
片名就在這一句裡：一句話把整部片的主題釘死。
You can't take it with you. So what good is it?
勸人別把錢攥太緊時用；葬禮以外的正式場合直接引用也合適。
Money won't follow you into the grave. ／ You leave it all behind in the end.
中性
can't take it 連讀，what good 重讀，句尾輕落。
Spend it on your family; you can't take it with you. 把錢花在家人身上吧，反正也帶不走。
“As near as I can see, the only thing you can take with you is the love of your friends.”
依我看，你唯一能帶走的就是朋友對你的愛。
把「帶不走錢」翻成「帶得走愛」，一句話完成全片的回答。
the only thing you can take with you is ...
總結人生取捨時用；商務或正式彙報裡別這麼抒情。
All you really keep is the love of the people around you. ／ What travels with you is who loved you.
literary
As near as I can see 一口氣帶過，only thing 重讀。
In the end, the only thing you can take with you is how you treated people. 到頭來，你唯一能帶走的是你待人的方式。
“Then one morning, when I was going up in the elevator, it struck me I wasn't having any fun.”
後來有天早上，我坐電梯上樓時忽然意識到，我一點都不快活。
把頓悟放在最平常的電梯裡，越平淡越讓人信。
it struck me I wasn't ...
講自己忽然想通一件事時用；寫正式報告別用這麼隨意的說法。
It hit me that I wasn't happy. ／ The thought came to me in the elevator.
中性
going up in the 連讀，struck me 重讀，wasn't 輕帶。
It struck me I had been working for the wrong reason. 我忽然意識到，我一直在為錯誤的理由工作。
“This would be a fine country if we all spent our time in the zoo and played the harmonica.”
要是大家都把時間花在逛動物園和吹口琴上，這個國家會好得多。
用誇張的荒唐畫面說出對「拼命賺錢」的反問，比講道理更有力。
This would be a fine X if we all ...
場合：飯桌上調侃太功利的生活方式，對朋友和家人能用；對上司或嚴肅場合不要用，聽著像唱反調。
The world would be better if we all slowed down a little. ／ We'd all be happier if we stopped chasing money.
口語
fine 和 harmonica 稍加重，整句拉長像在嘆氣。
This would be a fine office if we all left on time once in a while. 要是我們偶爾都能準點下班，這辦公室會好得多。
下一章 · 20good riddance謝天謝地這場戲：罵大人物是失敗者意思是「錢是帶不走的」，來自一句老話，勸人別為攢錢拼命，因為死後什麼也帶不走。它也是這部片的片名。
意思是「被狠狠敲一筆、花大價錢」，形容為某樣東西付出遠超合理的代價，語氣帶抱怨。
意思是「黃了、落空」，常用來講計劃、交易、安排最終沒能成。What if it does fall through 就是「要是它真黃了呢」。
caught in your own trap。trap 是陷阱，自己設的陷阱把自己困住，就是「作繭自縛、自食其果」。
to tell you the truth。它放在句首，表示接下來要說的是真心話，比 honestly 更口語。
