驯鲸员拆穿圈养话术：twisted and turned

There's so many things that were told to us that they tell us-- they tell you so many times that you just-- you start believing it.

有太多事是被人告诉我们的，他们讲了一遍又一遍，讲到你自己也开始信。 told、tell us、tell you 换着说，重复本身就在把人说动。结巴也像当场回忆。

I just really bought into what they told us.

我当时真把他们讲给我们的那套全盘信了。 bought into 把相信说成一笔买进：不只是照着念给观众，入套是自己点的头。

I really know nothing about killer whales.

我对虎鲸其实一无所知。 前面还以为自己什么都懂，nothing 一句打掉。落差就是这句被记住的原因。

I really in some ways believed a lot of what I was learning from them, because why would they lie?

在某些方面，我真信了不少从他们那儿学来的东西，心想他们骗我图什么呢？ because 后面不解释，直接把天真的反问留下。比骂骗子更刺人。

And every other potentially embarrassing fact is twisted and turned and denied one way or another.

其他每一样可能丢人的事实，也都被扭来扭去，再用某种方式否认掉。 三个被动排成一串，事实成了被搓的东西，谁的手却不出现。

That's not a family, you know. Come on.

那可不是一个家庭。得了吧。 先把「家庭」这个好听的词否掉，再甩一句 Come on，不用长篇大道理也够狠。
