这场戏：餐厅里被劝出面
第 17 章 · 共 17 章 · 2'37"
餐厅里，斯威尼找到德里克，说卡梅隆和赛斯被人 jump someone（围殴）、还躺在重症监护室，想请他出面劝住那帮旧同伙。德里克一口回绝，说自己只想让家人 in the clear（脱了干系）。想学怎么开口求人、怎么硬着头皮拒绝，这几句都用得上。
想让家人「脱了干系」英语说 in the clear
hate to tell you 真不想说gunning for me 瞄上我、想收拾我in the clear 脱了干系take a break 抽身歇手
要「好好教训」他，英语说 take him to school
in your power 你力所能及的范围内take him to school 好好教训shot by white boys 被白人小子开枪打中half an hour 半小时
德里克在餐厅点单，斯威尼走来，开口就是一句 Derek, we need to talk（我们得谈谈）：卡梅隆和赛斯昨晚在本氏汉堡店附近被人 jump someone（围殴），现在躺在重症监护室。斯威尼想请德里克出面，去劝住那帮听他话的人，说 If there's anybody they're gonna listen to, it's you（要说他们还能听谁的话，那就是你）。德里克先拒绝，说自己早就抽身，只想让家人 in the clear（脱了干系）；斯威尼步步紧逼，说这摊子他也掺和过，想撒手就没安宁。最后德里克松口答应。想学怎么求人、怎么讨价还价式地拒绝，台词句句都有用。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“If there's anybody they're gonna listen to, it's you.”
要说他们还能听谁的话，那就是你。
把整支人马的希望压在一个名字上，捧得高也逼得紧。
If there's anybody ..., it's you.
把重担托付给某人、当面说他最合适时用；对不熟的人说会像绑架。
If anyone can do it, you can. ／ You're the only one they'll hear.
中性
there's anybody 连读，it's you 重读收尾。
If there's anybody the client trusts, it's you. 要说客户还信谁，那就是你。
“You take a break, you'll find no peace.”
你一抽身，就别想有安宁。
把「逃避换不来安宁」压成一句硬邦邦的警告。
You take a break, you'll find no ...
劝人别半途撒手、指出退不了时用；朋友情绪差时别这样说。
Step away and the worry follows you. ／ Leaving will not bring you peace.
中性
两个分句等长，take a break 稍停，peace 收住。
You walk out now, you'll find no peace at home either. 你现在甩手走人，在家也一样不得安宁。
“The way to find peace is to stick.”
想要安宁，就得硬扛下去。
一句话把答案钉死，像箴言，也像不容辩驳的命令。
The way to ... is to ...
给别人指出唯一出路时用；自己也没把握时这样说会显得空。
The only way through is to stay. ／ Peace comes from sticking it out.
literary
way to 连读，find peace 放慢，stick 重读。
The way to get through this is to stick. 熬过这一关的办法，就是硬扛。
“Yes. I'm asking you to do whatever's in your power to do.”
我是让你尽你所能去做。
把请求说成不设门槛的托付，只要尽力，压力反而更大。
do whatever's in your power to ...
郑重托付、又不想逼太紧时用；日常小事这样讲太隆重。
Do everything you can. ／ Do whatever is within your power.
正式
whatever's 连读，in your power 轻快带过，to do 收住。
Please do whatever's in your power to help them. 请你尽你所能去帮帮他们。
“This has got nothing to do with me anymore.”
这事跟我再没半点关系了。
一句撇清，把界限画得干干净净，也把对方堵得死死的。
have nothing to do with ...
坚决撇清关系、拒绝被牵扯时用；对亲人说会显得绝情。
I'm not part of this anymore. ／ That's none of my business now.
中性
nothing to 连读，anymore 轻微拖长收尾。
That decision has nothing to do with me anymore. 那个决定跟我再没关系了。
“Those guys are probably gunning for me now.”
那帮人现在八成正盯着我，想收拾我。
一个枪口般的动词，把被盯上的恐惧说得又准又省。
be gunning for someone
担心被人针对、报复时用；正式场合换成 be after someone 更稳。
They're probably out to get me. ／ They may be coming after me.
口语
gunning for 连读，probably 轻，me now 稍重。
After that report, a few people are gunning for me. 那份报告之后，有几个人盯上我了。
字面是「带某人去上学」，实际常指把某人彻底打败、好好教训一顿。戏里德里克说 I'm gonna take him to school，是打算去正面收拾对方。
in the clear（脱了干系）。德里克说自己只想让家人 in the clear，意思就是不想让家人被卷进这摊事里。
不是。jump someone 是口语里的「伏击、围殴某人」，和「跳」没关系。戏里卡梅隆和赛斯就是被人 jump 了。
hate to tell you（真不想说）。德里克说 I hate to tell you, but I'm out，就是「真不想跟你说，可我已经抽身了」。
指「瞄上某人、想收拾某人」。德里克说那帮人现在多半正 gunning for me，就是担心自己成了目标。
