这场戏：坚持带重病的狗回家
第 17 章 · 共 19 章 · 3'30"
队伍完赛，刚跟亚瑟合影，狗却突然倒下。兽医说它被人虐待过，伤口感染还生了虫，If he's lucky, he'll live a few days（运气好的话，他还能活几天）；迈克尔却顶回去：It's my dog. I'm taking him home（这是我的狗，我要带他回家）。兽医最后说 die with dignity（有尊严地死去），想学怎么坚决表态、拒绝放弃，这几句很燃。
❝ 独白 · 5 句 It's my dog. I'm taking him home（这是我的狗，我要带他回家）
major wounds 严重的伤not just 不只是…还…at this point 到了这个地步taking him home 带他回家
队伍冲过终点，大家跟亚瑟合影庆祝，有人喊 Sweetest victory ever（最甜的一次胜利）。可亚瑟突然倒下，送到兽医站，兽医说它 major wounds（身上有被虐待留下的重伤），伤口感染还生了虫，If he's lucky, he'll live a few days（运气好的话，还能活几天）。迈克尔不服，问 what about in the U.S.（那在美国呢）；兽医说 get permission（拿到许可）根本不可能，迈克尔却坚持 It's my dog. I'm taking him home（这是我的狗，我要带他回家），兽医只好劝它 die with dignity（有尊严地死去）。想学怎么据理力争、表达不放弃，这段很燃。

“It's my dog. I'm taking him home.”
这是我的狗。我要带他回家。
一句归属加一句行动，把拒绝和决心压成一锤定音。
It's my ___. I'm taking ___ home.
被人质疑资格、表明不妥协时用；对长辈或正式文书别这么硬。
It's my family, and I'm bringing them home. ／ He's my dog, so he's coming with me.
中性
两句之间停半拍，taking 重读，home 收得干脆。
It's my cat, and I'm taking her home tonight. 这是我的猫，今晚我就带她回家。
“he should die with dignity, and we can give him that here.”
他应该体面地走，而在这里我们能让他走得体面。
把死亡说成体面，冷静里全是替对方着想的重量。
someone should die with dignity
谈临终、告别、宠物善终时用；日常打趣别拿这句开玩笑。
They let him go with dignity. ／ Everyone deserves to die with dignity.
literary
dignity 重音在前，前半句压低，后半句稍抬。
The family chose to let the old dog die with dignity at home. 一家人决定让老狗在家里体面地走。
“If he's lucky, he'll live a few days.”
运气好的话，他还能活几天。
用「运气好」说出最坏的消息，轻描淡写反而更残酷。
If someone's lucky, they'll ...
委婉说出坏结果时用；对刚确诊的家属别当面这么直说。
With any luck, he'll last the week. ／ Best case, he makes it a few more days.
中性
If he's lucky 连读成一串，a few days 慢慢收尾。
If she's lucky, she'll be back on her feet in a week. 运气好的话，她一周就能下地了。
“Well, what about in the U.S.? I'm taking him home.”
那在美国呢？我要带他回家。
先抛出翻盘地点再宣布决定，两个短句把不认命的坚持说得斩钉截铁。
I'm taking him home.
别人判了没救时宣布自己的打算用，家人之间可以，别在医院或正式场合打断专业判断。
Then we'll do it back home. ／ I'll get him treated there, then.
中性
what about in the U.S. 连读，taking him home 放慢。
What about back home? I'm taking her there. 那回老家呢？我要带她去那儿。
He has major wounds from abuse. And the wounds are not just infected, but infested. See that shell? That's a parasite that's eating at his flesh, and what's underneath, it's even more serious. His teeth are rotted, and we're sure that every bite that he takes is very, very painful for him.
他身上有被虐待留下的重伤。 而且这些伤口不只是感染，还生了虫。 看到那个硬壳了吗？ 那是一种寄生虫，正在啃他的肉，而底下的情况更严重。 他的牙已经烂了，我们敢肯定他每咬一口都疼得厉害。
下一章 · 18go out like a king像国王一样体面退场这场戏：与爱犬道别后决定救它意思是「有尊严地死去、体面地走」。兽医说 he should die with dignity，是建议别再让狗受罪，留在当地安静地走；迈克尔却不肯接受。
make it 口语里常指「挺过来、活下来、成功做到」。台词 I really don't think that he'll make it 就是「我真觉得他撑不过来」，说的是狗熬不过这一关。
说 get permission，后面接 to do something，比如 get permission to take him（获准带他走）。台词 Plus, you'll never get permission 就是「再说，你根本拿不到许可」。
口语里 dope 是「超酷、太帅了」，用来夸东西或点子。台词 Hey, that's dope 就是「嘿，那真酷」，年轻人之间常用。
说 take a picture，也可以说 take a photo。台词 Come on, let's take a picture 就是「来吧，我们拍张照」，是聚会、旅行里最常听到的一句。
