这场戏：被派去监视老特工
第 2 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'07"
凯特把埃里克叫进办公室，任务只有一个：You're gonna keep an eye on him for us.（你要替我们盯着他）。她定下规矩，谁都不能说，还要求把办公室的事全记下来——No detail is insignificant（再小的细节都不能放过）。职场里想说「盯人」「不能漏细节」，这几句最实用。

凯特把埃里克叫进办公室，交给他一个秘密任务：暗中盯着老特工汉森。她先说明这活儿不光鲜，也没有掩护身份，因为汉森精明到一天就能看穿；随后一条条定下规矩——这事谁都不能知道、传呼机二十四小时随身、随时直接向她负责，还要把汉森办公室里的一切都记下来。她要他 keep an eye on（盯紧）汉森，并强调 No detail is insignificant（再小的细节都不能放过）。埃里克问这差事能不能让他 fast track（快速晋升）成正式特工，凯特只说吉恩夸他自信到近乎自大，叫他必要时要会 park it（收敛脾气）。职场里接任务、定规矩、谈晋升，这些说法都用得上。

A few rules. First, no one can know about this, not even your wife. You have a new boss. His name is Hanssen, he works in Information Assurance. That's it. I understand. Second. You'll be serving at the needs of the Bureau, answerable to me at all times. I hope that's clear. This pager will be on your person 24/7. If it's me, you'll see a 7 and a pound sign. You'll keep a journal of everything that goes on in that office. Who he talks to, who he calls. No detail is insignificant. Got it?
有几条规矩。 第一，这事谁都不能知道，连你妻子也不行。 你换了个新上司。 他叫汉森，在信息保障部门工作。就这样。 我明白。第二， 你要听候局里调遣，任何时候都直接对我负责。 希望我说清楚了。 这个传呼机你要二十四小时随身带着。 如果是我找你，你会看到一个 7 和一个井号。 你要把那个办公室里发生的一切都记下来。 他跟谁说话，给谁打电话。 再小的细节都不能放过。明白吗？
下一章 · 03lapsed不再信教这场戏：站桌上盘问新助理意思是「盯紧、照看」。任务里 You're gonna keep an eye on him for us. 就是「你要替我们盯着他」，日常也能用来让人帮忙照看一下东西或小孩。
No detail is insignificant. insignificant 是「微不足道的」，整句就是强调任何细节都重要。上级要你事无巨细地汇报时，这句很到位。
answerable to，比如 answerable to me at all times 就是任何时候都直接对我负责。职场里说明汇报关系、直属上级时很常用。
glamour detail，常用在否定句里：It's not a glamour detail. 就是「这差事可不风光」。glamour 是光鲜、体面，detail 在这里指被派的活儿。
park it 字面是「把车停下」，口语里指把脾气或态度收起来。凯特说 He also says you can park it, when necessary. 是提醒新人别太冲，该收敛时就收敛。
