这场戏：邻居为噪音吵起来
第 2 章 · 共 11 章 · 2'40"
伦敦公屋里，莉亚把 Mama Cass 开得震天响，邻居们挨个出来喊 turn it down（关小声点），桑德拉一边炸薯条一边感叹 I give up（我不管了）。另一边，特雷弗对人心甘情愿地说 I'd do anything for you（我什么都愿意为你做）。想学英式邻里拌嘴和口语腔调，这段最地道。
turn down 是「把音量调小」
get some kip 睡一会儿、补个觉spare some thought for 替某人想一想、顾及一下

伦敦的公屋里，莉亚关在房间把音乐开到最大，桑德拉这边炸着薯条、她爸在里屋 get some kip（睡一会儿），邻居们被吵得受不了，一个接一个出来喊着让人 turn it down（关小声点）。有人抱怨 she can't control her kids（她管不住孩子），也拿莉亚没辙。桑德拉嘴硬：I give up（我不管了），还讽刺地说 I suppose I should be glad it's not techno（我该庆幸起码不是电子乐）。另一边，特雷弗对人心甘情愿地说 you only had to ask, I'd do anything for you（你只要开口就行，我什么都愿意为你做）。后来有人陪怕足球的杰米聊天，说 we can fight this one together（这一关咱们一起扛）。想学伦敦腔、邻里拌嘴和示好，这段最生活。
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。
“Leah, spare some thought for all the nice people who live round here.”
莉亚，也替住这附近的好邻居们想一想。
不吼不骂，一句替别人想想就把道理摆上了桌。
spare some thought for ...
提醒人顾及时能用；对方正在气头上，硬讲道理就别用。
Have a thought for the neighbours. ／ Think about the people around you.
中性
spare 稍重，some thought 轻带，people 后略停。
Spare some thought for the people trying to sleep next door. 也替隔壁想睡觉的人想一想。
“Hey, we can fight this one together.”
嘿，这一关我们一起过。
把对方的怕接过来变成我们的事，一句就给足底气。
We can fight this one together.
朋友家人害怕退缩时能用；对方只想独处时不要硬拉。
We'll get through this one together. ／ You're not facing this alone.
口语
this one 重读，together 放慢收尾。
We can fight this one together, nerves and all. 这一关我们一起过，紧张也一起扛。
“Oh, I suppose I should be glad it's not techno, acidic, housey housey, pop trash.”
我该庆幸放的还不是电音、酸曲、house 那种烂俗口水歌。
一串音乐标签砸下来，嫌弃里带着让步，听着就好笑。
I suppose I should be glad it's not ...
勉强接受讨厌的东西时能用；正式场合别拿它挖苦人。
I suppose it could be worse. ／ At least it's not the worst of it.
口语
housey housey 连读，pop trash 一顿收住。
I suppose I should be glad it's not drilling at seven. 我该庆幸总算不是早上七点就钻墙。
“She's only gone and locked herself in her bloody room, ain't she?”
她倒好，把自己锁在屋里不出来了。
only gone and 是英式口语里表示「竟然做出这种事」的固定说法，配上 ain't she 的尾巴，把又气又无奈的邻里抱怨演活了。学会它，抱怨就带上了情绪。
Someone's only gone and ... , ...?
抱怨某人做出让人意想不到的烦人举动时用，语气强烈且口语；正式场合绝对不要用 ain't。
She went and locked herself in, didn't she? ／ Of all things, she has locked herself in her room.
口语
only gone and 连读，herself in her 吞音，ain't she 上挑。
He's only gone and deleted the whole folder again, hasn't he? 他倒好，又把整个文件夹删了。
Your mum told me straight, you know. Problems. Been there. Walking across the park, game going on, my heart, you know, races. Scared, Jamie. Scared of the ball coming, you know, near me. Hey, we can fight this one together. Do you fancy a knockabout? No, me neither. But some time, yeah?
你妈跟我直说了，你知道的。 麻烦。 我也经历过。 走过公园，场上正踢着球，我这心啊，你知道，就狂跳。 害怕，杰米。 怕球飞过来，你知道，飞近我。 嘿，这一关咱们一起扛。 想不想随便踢两脚？ 不想，我也不想。改天吧，行吗？
下一章 · 03top and tail头脚错开挤着睡这场戏：同床夜读互相试探是英式口语，「睡一会儿、补个觉」。台词 Me old man's trying to get some kip 就是「我爸想睡会儿觉」，kip 是英国俚语里的「睡觉」。
这里是「把音量调小、关小」，也可以指拒绝某个提议。台词 Get her to turn it down 就是「叫她关小声点」，在噪音扰民时最常用。
英式口语常用 bloody，属于很轻的咒骂，几乎当语气词用。台词 a bloody room、turn that bloody racket down 里的 bloody 都是加强语气，正式场合别用。
should be glad。台词 I suppose I should be glad it's not techno 就是「我该庆幸起码不是电子乐」，用 should be glad 说出的话往往带反讽。
意思是「在吃药、需要长期服药」。台词 I'm on tablets, you know 就是「我还在吃药呢」，be on tablets 是英式说法，常指长期服药。
you only had to ask。台词 You only had to ask, Trevor 就是「你只要开口就行，特雷弗」，意思是对方本不必费事，直接说一声就好。
