这场戏：旧友落网，里克被盘问
第 4 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'04"
乌加特被警察架走时冲里克喊救命，里克只回一句 I stick my neck out for nobody（我从不替任何人出头）。转头德国少校上门，问他巴黎 the occupation（沦陷）那阵子的事。想学冷面拒绝、还有不软不硬的应酬话，这几句正好。
一句 stick my neck out（为别人冒险出头）
more of a help 能多帮上点忙stick my neck out 替人冒险、出头have a good time 玩得开心、尽兴
❝ 独白 · 4 句 斯特拉瑟的试探陈词
一口气把敌情、盘查和私心说完，越客气越逼人。
乌加特闯进里克酒馆求救，还是被警察带走，里克撂下一句 I stick my neck out for nobody（我从不替任何人出头）。随后路易带着德国少校斯特拉瑟来，斯特拉瑟打听里克巴黎沦陷（the occupation）时的事，一路盘问他的国籍、去向和对战争的看法。里克用 I'm a drunkard（我是个酒鬼）、are my eyes really brown（少来这套）这类话软钉子顶回去，最后说 Your business is politics, mine is running a saloon（你们做政治，我开酒馆）。想练不选边、挡话、体面抽身，这几句都用得上。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“I stick my neck out for nobody.”
我从不替谁冒险出头。
不解释也不铺垫，一句就把瑞克的立世规矩钉死，冷硬又干脆。
stick one's neck out for somebody
想表明不替人揽事、不担风险时用；对刚认识的人或正式场合别说，容易显得冷。
I go out on a limb for no one. ／ I don't put myself on the line for anybody.
口语
重读 stick 和 nobody，句末降调，把「谁都不」说死。
I don't stick my neck out for people who never showed up for me. 谁从没为我出过力，我也不会替谁扛事。
“Well, there are sections of New York, major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.”
这个嘛，少校，纽约有些街区，我劝你还是别想着去占领。
表面在聊地盘，实际给占领者留了颗钉子，礼貌里全是刺。
there are ... that I wouldn't advise you to ...
想用客气的口吻回绝或警告时能用；对上司、生人别太冲，语气要拿捏好。
I wouldn't recommend you try that. ／ That's not somewhere I'd advise you to go.
中性
sections 和 advise 重读，插入语 major 轻轻带过。
There are markets in this region I wouldn't advise you to try to enter. 这一带有几个市场，我劝你们别贸然进去。
“You repeat Third Reich as though you expected there to be others.”
你一口一个「第三帝国」，好像还指望有别的帝国似的。
抓住对方一个用词反打，把敬畏说成笑话，机锋全在 as though。
you ... as though you expected ...
有人把话说得太当回事时，可以借他的原话轻刺一下；对上司别用，容易得罪人。
You say that as if there were others. ／ You talk as though that were the only one.
中性
as though 后稍作停顿，expected 微微上扬带出嘲讽。
You say 'the best firm in town' as though there were no others. 你说「全城最好的公司」，好像别家都不存在似的。
“Excuse me, gentlemen. Your business is politics, mine is running a saloon.”
失陪了，各位。你们做的是政治，我做的是开酒馆。
一句划清界限，等于说我谁都不得罪，也谁都不帮。
Your business is X, mine is Y.
被拉进不属于自己的争论时用；对真心求助的人说会显得冷血，场合要挑。
That's your department, not mine. ／ I stay out of politics.
中性
Excuse me 平稳，politics 稍重，running a saloon 放轻收尾。
Excuse me. Your business is politics, mine is shipping orders. 失陪，你们搞政治，我只管发货。
You will forgive my curiosity, Mr. Blaine. The point is... ...an enemy of the Reich has come to Casablanca... ...and we are checking up on anybody who can be of any help to us. My interest in whether Victor Laszlo stays or goes is purely a sporting one.
布莱恩先生，请原谅我的好奇。重点是…… ……有一个帝国的敌人来到了卡萨布兰卡…… ……凡是能帮上我们的人，我们都要查一查。 我对维克多·拉兹洛是走是留的兴趣，纯粹是出于看热闹。
下一章 · 05a game we play心照不宣的把戏这场戏：咖啡馆里少校当面逼问字面是「把脖子伸出去」，指为别人冒险、出头担风险。里克说 I stick my neck out for nobody，就是「我从不替任何人出头」。
the occupation，指国家或城市被占领、沦陷的那段时期。台词里问里克是不是巴黎沦陷的时候来的，用的就是它。
戏里用 are my eyes really brown 这个反问：你说这些话，难道我眼睛是棕色的？潜台词是「少来这套、别绕了」。
slip through our fingers。少校说拉斯洛三次都从我们手里溜掉，就是 slipped through our fingers。
wouldn't advise you to。里克说纽约有些街区，I wouldn't advise you to try to invade，就是「我劝你别想着去占领」。
