这场戏：说清当年为何离开
第 17 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'07"
伊尔莎在巴黎把当年的真相一次说清：听说维克多已死，她才和里克相爱，临走前却得知丈夫还活着，只能不告而别。后来里克举杯说 Here's looking at you, kid（敬你一杯，孩子），伊尔莎回他 I wish I didn't love you so much（真希望自己没这么爱你）。想学分手的解释和酒桌告别，这段最经典。
❝ 独白 · 8 句 「打听到音信」：get word 是到处打听消息
wasn't long after 没过多久就…two-line item 报纸上两行字的小启get word 打听到音信not even hope 连一点指望都没有
在巴黎的回忆里，伊尔莎把当年离开的原因全说了出来：婚后才多久，维克多就回布拉格，被盖世太保抓走，报纸上只有两行小字；她到处 get word（打听到音信），等来的却是丈夫已死的消息。她说那时自己孤零零的，not even hope（连一点指望都没有），直到遇见里克。可就在两人准备一起离开巴黎前，她得知维克多还活着，只能不告而别。重逢后，里克举杯说 Here's looking at you, kid（敬你一杯，孩子），还说 I wish I didn't love you so much（真希望自己没这么爱你）。想学怎么把旧事讲清楚、怎么在酒桌上道别，这段是最好的范本。

“I wish I didn't love you so much.”
我真希望自己没这么爱你。
用 wish 加过去式，把「爱到想收回却收不回」一句说尽，甜里带苦。
I wish I didn't ... so much.
对很亲的人半认命地抱怨时用，正式场合或刚认识别这么说。
I wish I could stop caring this much ／ I wish it didn't matter so much to me
literary
didn't 轻快带过，so much 慢慢压低收尾。
I wish I didn't like this show so much; it is past three. 真希望没这么喜欢这剧，都三点多了。
“I can't fight it anymore.”
我再也撑不住、争不动了。
it 不点明是什么，把心里那场拉锯整个收进一句，认输得很体面。
I can't ... anymore.
对身边人坦白自己撑不住时用，工作汇报里别说，会被当成放弃。
I can't hold it together anymore ／ I can't keep this up anymore
中性
can't 收短，anymore 重音在后，尾音往下落。
I can't push through these nights anymore. 这些通宵我再也扛不动了。
“Here's looking at you, kid.”
敬你一杯，孩子。
举杯的客套被说成默契的暗号，一句就把风浪挡在两人之外。
Here's to ... / Here's looking at you
举杯时对亲近的人说，带点玩笑；商务酒会里用会显得太随便。
Here's to you ／ Here's to the two of us
口语
Here's 弱读，looking at 连起来，kid 轻轻收。
Here's looking at you, partner; same table next year. 敬你一杯，老搭档，明年还坐这张桌。
“I know that I'll never have the strength to leave you again.”
我知道我再也没有力气离开你了。
把爱说成一种认输，越坦白越让人心碎。
I'll never have the strength to ... again.
对爱而难舍的人坦白心意时用；在要分开的场合说会把人拖住，慎重。
I could never leave you again. ／ I don't have it in me to walk away twice.
literary
know that 连读，never 重读，leave you again 放慢轻收。
I'll never have the strength to leave this city again. 我再也没有力气离开这座城市了。
It wasn't long after we were married that Victor went back to Czechoslovakia. They needed him in Prague, but there the Gestapo were waiting for him. Just a two-line item in the paper: "Victor Laszlo apprehended. Sent to concentration camp." I was frantic. For months I tried to get word. Then it came. He was dead. Shot trying to escape. I was lonely. I had nothing, not even hope. Then I met you.
我们结婚没多久，维克多就回捷克斯洛伐克去了。 布拉格那边需要他，可盖世太保早在那儿等着他。 报纸上就两行字：“维克多·拉兹洛被捕，押送集中营。” 我急疯了。好几个月，我一直想打听消息。 后来消息终于来了。 他死了。说是逃跑时被开枪打死的。 我孤零零的，什么都没了，连希望都没了。 然后我遇见了你。
下一章 · 18stick my neck out冒风险替人出头这场戏：情敌托妻后被捕是「打听到消息、得到音信」，比 get news 更口语、更急。戏里伊尔莎说 For months I tried to get word，就是「好几个月我一直在打听他的下落」。
not even hope。not even 是「连……都没有」，语气很重。伊尔莎说 I had nothing, not even hope，就是「我什么都没有，连一点指望都没了」，把绝望说得很干净。
这是举杯敬酒时的说法，等于「敬你一杯」，加上 kid 就是宠溺地叫对方「孩子」。里克在重逢时用它开口，既是敬酒，也是把当年的感情轻轻放到台面上。
她得知维克多还活着、又病又需要她，同时知道里克若留下会被盖世太保抓走。她说 I knew you wouldn't have left Paris，所以只好自己先走，用离开保住两个人的命。
是「真希望自己没这么爱你」，听着像抱怨，其实是深情。wish 加否定，表示对现状的无奈；伊尔莎用这句收尾，等于承认自己放不下里克。
