这场戏：划清界限说不是朋友
第 11 章 · 共 14 章 · 2'36"
杰克让李把猫照看死了，回头求她别冷落自己，李却把话说死：we are not friends（我们不是朋友），and I don't think we actually ever were（我觉得我们从来都不是）。她还立规矩：we will meet in public（只在公开场合见面）。想学怎么用英语划清界限、把关系说绝，这些句子都能背。

杰克把李的猫照看死了，跑来求她别冷落自己。李却把界限说得清清楚楚：她很感激他当初帮忙照看，也承认出事是意外，但合作归合作，她说我们不是朋友，而且觉得两人从来都不是；以后只能 in public（在公开场合）见面，还要求她卖完信拿回收据。想用英语郑重划清关系，可以记 freeze someone out（冷落、晾着）和 have no other option（别无选择）。这场戏后半段，她在店里继续卖信、谈分成，最后在街头被探员递上传票，连杰克也已经反水配合调查。

“But we are not friends, and I don't think we actually ever were.”
但我们不是朋友，我觉得我们从来都不是。
一句话把界限钉死，还补一刀否定了过去，冷得干脆。
we are not ..., and I don't think we ever were
要跟人彻底划清界限时用；对还想留余地的人别说这么绝。
We were never really close. ／ I don't think we were ever friends.
口语
not friends 重读，ever were 拖一下再收。
We are not partners, and I don't think we ever were. 我们不是合伙人，我觉得从来都不是。
“We will meet in public, and you will not fuck this up like you fuck everything else up in your life.”
我们只在公开场合见面，你别把这事搞砸，就像你把人生里其他事都搞砸一样。
把规矩、威胁和羞辱压进一句，还带粗口，杀伤力十足。
you will not ... like you ... everything else
放狠话、立规矩时用；对同事或长辈这样讲会当场撕破脸。
You won't screw this up like you do everything else. ／ Don't ruin this the way you ruin everything.
口语
will not 咬重，like you 稍停，句尾往下压。
Do not lose this key like you lose everything else. 别像丢其他东西一样把这把钥匙也弄丢了。
“How long are you gonna freeze me out, huh?”
你还要把我晾到什么时候，啊？
把被冷落的委屈和不服气全塞进一句质问里，很生活。
How long are you gonna ...?
觉得被冷落、被拖着不回应时用；对上级这样问会显得冲。
How long are you going to keep ignoring me? ／ Are you ever going to talk to me again?
口语
How long 起高，gonna 轻，huh 收在句尾。
How long are you gonna freeze me out over one mistake? 就为一次失误，你要冷落我到什么时候？
“I don't know if you've noticed this, but I don't do that.”
不知道你有没有注意到，我从不干这种事。
用冷静的自我描述划清界限，比吵闹更伤人。
I don't know if you've noticed, but + 从句
冷淡回绝别人、表明立场时能用；对亲近的人别说得这么绝。
In case you forgot, that's not how I operate. ／ I don't know if you noticed, but I keep my distance.
口语
noticed this 连读，but 后停顿，don't do that 一字一顿。
I don't know if you've noticed, but I stay out of drama. 不知道你注意到没有，我从不掺和这些是非。
“Lee, I took care of your cat. I swear.”
莉，我真的照顾过你的猫，我发誓。
最伤人的指控面前，用一句照顾猫来证明自己。
I + 过去式 + I swear.
被冤枉、急着自证时能用；对正式调查别拿小事发誓。
I did my best. I swear. ／ I never meant for that to happen, I swear.
口语
took care of 连读，I swear 重读，语气急切。
I locked the door, I swear. 我锁了门，我发誓。
We will continue to work together because I have no other option. But we are not friends, and I don't think we actually ever were. Lee. Lee. We will meet in public, and you will not fuck this up like you fuck everything else up in your life. You will sell those papers, you will get the money, you will bring me a receipt.
我们还得继续合作，因为我别无选择。 但我们不是朋友，我觉得我们从来都不是。 莉。莉。 我们只在公开场合见面，你别把这事搞砸，就像你把人生里其他事都搞砸一样。 你把那些信卖掉，拿到钱，给我带一张收据回来。
下一章 · 12turn over a new leaf改过自新这场戏：被劝悔改却说不后悔「冷落、把某人晾在一边」。对人不理不睬、故意疏远，就是 freeze someone out，语气比 ignore 更具体。
We are not friends。想更决绝一点，还可以加一句 I don't think we actually ever were，把旧情也一并否认。
意思是「别无选择」。说 We have no other option，等于承认这条路不好走，但眼下没有别的办法，常用于无奈的合作。
cut 在这里指抽成、佣金。Do you accept a cut? 就是问对方帮忙卖东西要不要抽成，回答 a small one 就是「抽一点点」。
「送达传票」。探员上门说 We're here to deliver a subpoena，就是要你按要求出庭，通常是调查已经收网的信号。
