这场戏：游乐场男人翻脸
第 6 章 · 共 16 章 · 3'51"
游乐场上，西尔维娅被留下看孩子，伙伴们在一旁起哄。有人不声不响凑到女孩身边，当场被顶回来 You shouldn't sneak up on girls like that（你不该那样悄悄凑近女孩）。宝拉撞见已婚男人的冷淡，只换来 You should listen to your mother, Paula, she knows best（你该听你妈的，她最清楚）。指责越界、软话堵人，两句都用得上。

短句层层加码，从岌岌可危推向最复杂的战争。
他冷冷一句 she knows best（你妈最清楚）
knows best 最清楚、最懂行Lay off me 别缠着我pull that shit on me 拿这套来糊弄我pay for this 为此付出代价
游乐场上，15 岁的西尔维娅被留下照看小孩，只能在伙伴们的起哄声里看着别人热闹。有人不声不响凑到女孩身边，被当面回了一句 You shouldn't sneak up on girls like that（你不该那样偷偷凑近女孩），sneak up on 就是「蹑手蹑脚靠近、吓人一跳」。另一边，宝拉去找一个已婚男人，对方却冷淡地说 listen to your mother, she knows best（听你妈的，她最清楚），knows best 是「最懂、最清楚」，常用来劝人听话。男人翻脸后，宝拉撂下一句 You're gonna pay for this（你会为此付出代价），pay for this 就是「为这件事付出代价」。想学怎么指责越界的人、怎么用软话堵人、怎么放狠话，这几句都值得记。

“Don't try to pull that shit on me! You know, it ain't true.”
少拿那套鬼话来糊弄我！你知道的，根本没这回事。
两句话把不屑和看穿一起甩出，不辩解、不纠缠，当场拆穿对方。
Don't try to pull that ... on me!
有人拿假话糊弄你、你想当场拆穿时能用；对长辈或正式场合别用这种粗话。
Don't feed me that crap. ／ You can't sell me that story.
口语
重读 shit 和 true，don't 后稍顿，句尾压下去。
Don't try to pull that excuse on me; I saw the whole thing. 别拿那套借口糊弄我，我全看见了。
“You should listen to your mother, Paula, she knows best.”
你该听你妈的，宝拉，她最清楚。
不接对方的火气，把长辈搬出来当挡箭牌，软刀子把话堵死。
You should listen to ..., ... knows best.
劝人听劝又想尽快收场时能用；对平辈摆这种腔调会显得说教。
Trust your mother on this one. ／ She's the one who knows best.
中性
listen to 连读，knows best 两个词都重读。
Just listen to the doctor, she knows best. 就听医生的吧，她最清楚。
“You shouldn't sneak up on girls like that.”
你不该那样偷偷凑到女孩跟前。
一句责备点出对方越界，语气不重却把边界划得很清楚。
You shouldn't ... like that.
对方举止越界、你想平静提醒时能用；对上级别用这种教训口吻。
You can't just creep up on people. ／ Don't do that to girls.
中性
shouldn't 轻快带过，like that 尾音下沉。
You shouldn't talk to clients like that. 你不该那样跟客户说话。
“You know, my Mama's been calling you trash.”
你知道，我妈一直说你是个下贱货。
把羞辱说成转述，借妈妈的嘴捅刀，还给自己留了余地。
Someone's been calling you ...
想转述难听话又不想自己担责时能用；对朋友说这种话会直接伤人，别轻易出口。
My mother says the same about you. ／ People have been calling you that.
口语
You know 轻起，Mama's been 连读，trash 重读收尾。
My sister's been calling you lucky, you know. 你知道，我姐一直说你运气好。

下一章 · 07narrow gate窄门这场戏：女儿指控西尔维娅造谣意思是「你不该那样悄悄凑到女孩身边」。sneak up on 指趁人不备悄悄靠近，常带吓人一跳的意味，用来指责对方突然凑近、没有分寸。
用 knows best，例如 You should listen to your mother, she knows best（你该听你妈的，她最清楚）。这个说法常用来劝人听长辈或内行的意见。
说 You're gonna pay for this。pay for this 就是为某件事付出代价，语气很重，多半是受了委屈之后放狠话用的。
口语里可以说 not give a shit，比如 They don't give a shit（他们才不在乎呢）。不过这是粗话，正式场合别用。
她去找已婚的布拉德利，对方却冷淡地让她走开，还动手轻薄，她觉得自己被耍了，才撂下狠话，说他会付出代价。
