这场戏：被困密道靠开枪脱身
第 10 章 · 共 17 章 · 3'03"
有人推开暗门，冒出一句 Looks like a secret passage（看起来是条秘密通道），于是一群人钻进去，还抢着说 I'll go first（我走前面）。门在身后锁死，外面只能 break it down（把门撞开），最后靠开枪打锁才把人放出来。想学探险、被困、求救时的口语，这段够用。
I'll go first. I've had a good life（我走前面，活得够本了）
Looks like 看起来像where it leads 通向哪里go first 先上、打头阵a good life 这辈子过得不错、活得够本
I'm just going to have to break it down（只能把门撞开）
Never mind 别管、算了no alternative 没有别的办法break it down 把门撞开、拆掉take any more 再也承受不了更多
有人在墙上推开一道暗门，一句 Looks like a secret passage（看起来是条秘密通道）勾起大家的好奇，有人自告奋勇 I'll go first（我走前面），还说自己 I've had a good life（活得够本了）。可门一锁上，里面的人只能喊 Help! Get us out of here!（救命，放我们出去），外面发现钥匙不见了，决定 break it down（把门撞开）。情急之下有人开枪打锁才把门打开，里面的人抱怨 You know you could've killed us（你差点杀了我们）。事后又有人追问开枪者怎么知道枪没锁，只换来一句 A likely story（编得倒像真的）。值得学的三个说法：go first 是先上、打头阵；break it down 是把门撞开；a likely story 是反讽对方在编故事。
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'll go first. I've had a good life.”
我走前面。我这辈子活得够本了。
抢着冒险却先给自己念悼词，一句自嘲把紧张化成笑点。
I'll go first. I've had a good life.
半开玩笑地自告奋勇、又给自己壮胆时用；真危险的场合别拿命调侃。
Let me go first, I have nothing to lose. ／ I'll take the lead, at my age it hardly matters.
口语
I'll go 连读，I've had a 轻快带过，good life 放慢。
I'll go first. I've survived worse meals. 我先来。比这难吃的东西我都扛过来了。
“There's no alternative. I'm just going to have to break it down.”
没别的办法了。我只能把门撞开。
一句摊牌把前路堵死，going to have to 的无奈全在节奏里。
There's no alternative. I'm going to have to ...
到了非做不可的地步时用；还有退路就别拿它当借口。
We have no choice but to force it open. ／ It's this or nothing, so I'll have to break it.
中性
no alternative 重读，going to have to 连成 gonne-havta。
There's no alternative, so I'm going to have to run. 没别的办法，我只能跑起来了。
“You know you could've killed us.”
你知不知道你差点杀了我们。
不吼不骂，只用一句提醒把责任轻轻放到对方肩上，更扎人。
You know you could've done ...
提醒对方差点闯大祸、又不想翻脸时用；正式追责要换成书面说法。
Do you realize you almost got us killed? ／ That could have ended very badly for all of us.
口语
you know 轻读，could've killed 连读，重音落在 killed。
You know you could've hit that cyclist back there. 你知不知道刚才差点撞上那个骑车的人。
“Will you shut up? We're doing our best.”
你能不能闭嘴？我们已经在尽力了。
一边叫人闭嘴一边强调尽力，慌乱和底气同时在场，特别真实。
Will you shut up? We're doing our best.
被人反复催问、场面很乱时能用；对长辈或正式场合不要这样说。
Can you be quiet? We're doing all we can. ／ Shut up and give us a second.
口语
Will you 连读，shut up 重读，后半句降下来。
Will you stop asking? We're doing our best. 你能不能别催了？我们已经尽力了。
下一章 · 11nothing to hide没什么好隐瞒的这场戏：借电话的访客被反锁是反话，字面「挺像样的故事」，实际意思是「编得倒像真的」，表示根本不信对方。台词里用来质疑开枪者的话。
说 break it down，指用力把门、墙之类的障碍弄开。台词里 There's no alternative, I'm just going to have to break it down 就是「没别的办法，只能撞开」。
不止，它还带点「我来打头阵、我先上」的担当，常用在有点危险或尴尬的场合。台词里 I'll go first 就是自告奋勇先探路。
get at 强调「够得着、拿得到」，多用在有障碍、够不太到的时候。台词问 How did you know you could get at the gun，就是「你怎么知道能拿到那把枪」。
could've 是 could have 的口语缩略，表示「本来可能……」。You could've killed us 就是「你差点把我们害死」，说的是没发生但差一点的事。
