李·伊斯雷尔和杰克·霍克走进一家二手书店。书商先跟他们为一本签名书讨价还价，又拿出一本多萝西·帕克签名书，开价六百美元，并提醒买签名书前一定要 do your homework（先做足功课），因为假货很多；他还说有些同行没这么有眼力，让她留意该提防的人。三句值得记：authenticated（经过鉴定为真）是买古书时最常听到的词；run your mouth（管不住嘴）可以吐槽一个人话太多；stay away from（离……远点）用来劝人躲开某人。想学逛店砍价、跟书商打交道的说法，这里全用得上。

下一章 · 06a real museum piece老古董这场戏：冒名打电话仿造旧信字面是「做作业」，这里是「先做足功课、查清底细」。书商提醒她，买签名书前要先弄清楚签名是真是假，别急着掏钱。
说 authenticated。台词里 It's authenticated 就是「它经过鉴定了」，古书行里这句话等于给藏品盖了个「保真」的章。
说 stay away from。台词里 I'd stay away from him 就是「我会离他远点」，语气不重，但意思很明确：这人别靠近。
real 只是说「真的」，authenticated 强调「经过权威鉴定、确认是真品」，买古书时是更专业也更贵的说法。
可以说 We're just looking。台词里就是这句，礼貌地告诉书商「我们只是看看」，既不尴尬也不用编理由。
不是。它是「管不住嘴、话太多」，常带嫌弃。台词里 You run your mouth too much 就是嫌人嘴太碎，说漏了不该说的。
