这场戏：断粮逼进钢箱
第 3 章 · 共 8 章 · 2'44"
西兰晚上把鲸关进漂着的钢箱，吃的先扣着，饿够了才肯进。一句 hold back（先扣下暂不给），关完整夜后又听到 on a hair trigger（稍一碰就会爆发）。好处先扣着、脾气一点就炸，这两句都比直说更准。

❝ 独白 · 11 句 饿够了才进箱，吃的先扣下暂不给：hold back
to be honest 说句不好听的实话come in 在这一步才用上hold back food 吃的先扣下不给on a hair trigger 稍一碰就会爆发
晚上，西兰把鲸关进码头上漂着的钢箱，灯全关，宽大约六米。它们不肯进，吃的就被 hold back（先扣下暂不给），知道进了隔舱才有得吃，饿够了才会进去。两头母鲸会 gang up on（结伙欺负一个人）那头还不会动作的，放出来时满身是刮痕和血。有人最后说他 on a hair trigger（稍一碰就会爆发）。hold back 就是先扣下暂不给，谈条件时先把好处扣着；gang up on 就是结伙欺负一个人；on a hair trigger 就是稍一碰就会爆发。三句分别用在谈条件、说被孤立、形容脾气。

It didn't feel good. It just didn't. And it was just wrong. We started having difficulty getting them all into this one small steel box, to be honest. That's what it was. It was a floating steel box. That's where food deprivation would come in. We would hold back food, and they would know if they went in the module that they would get their food. So if they're hungry enough, they're going to go in there. And during the winter that would be from 5:00 at night till 7:00 in the morning. When you let them out, you'd see these new tooth rakes and sometimes you'd see blood. Closing that door on him and knowing that he's locked in there for the whole night is like... it's a stab, it's a "whoa."
感觉很不好。就是不好。 而且这就是错的。 说实话，后来要把它们全都弄进这一个小钢箱，越来越难。 就是这么回事。那是一个漂着的钢箱子。 这时候就得靠断粮了。 我们会把吃的扣着，它们知道，进了隔舱才能吃到。 所以只要饿得够狠，它们就会进去。 到了冬天，就是从晚上五点一直到早上七点。 放出来的时候，你会看到新的刮痕，有时还有血。 当着他关上门，知道他要被锁在里面一整夜，那种感觉就像…… 像被捅了一刀，让人倒吸一口气。
下一章 · 04on its last legs快倒闭这场戏：池边失足被鲸拽回意思是稍一碰就会爆发。台词是 he was on a hair trigger，紧跟着 He'd kill。用在这里，是说那头鲸一点就炸，不是在讲头发或一把扳机。
说 gang up on。台词 Both females would gang up on him，就是两头母鲸一起欺负那一头。好几个人冲着同一个下手，就可以用这句。
是，意思就是顺顺当当没什么事。台词说他刚来时 everything just went fine and dandy，同一句后半转到惩罚式训练，顺利只是刚开始那一阵。
不是走进来。卡片上的意思是在这一步才用上。台词 That's where food deprivation would come in，说的是断粮这个办法到这一步才派上用场。
说 to be honest。用来承认一件不好听的事：后来越来越难把它们全弄进那个小钢箱。想把难处说直，就补上这句。
这里用来夸一头鲸，意思是一心想讨人喜欢。台词把 he was always eager to please 和很听话放在一起。人或动物巴不得让对方满意，都可以这么说。
