这场戏：数子弹揭穿凶手
第 17 章 · 共 17 章 · 2'58"
斯嘉丽小姐想靠政府情报继续勒索全场，却被当面点破：There are no more bullets left in that gun（那把枪里没子弹了）。对方接着报出一串 There was one shot at Mr. Boddy（朝博迪先生开了一枪）式的加减法，逼她算清还剩几发。想学放狠话和算账式推理，这段最经典。
There are no more bullets left in that gun（那把枪里没有子弹了）
fall for 上当中计no more bullets 再没有子弹了one bullet left 还剩一颗子弹one shot 开了一枪
❝ 独白 · 7 句 凶手的完整路线
一口气把作案路线讲完，节奏越来越快，直到地窖收尾。
Don't you remember your fatal mistake（你记不记得你那个致命错误）

斯嘉丽小姐亮出底牌，想用政府情报继续勒索所有人，却被点破：There are no more bullets left in that gun（那把枪里没有子弹了）。对方像报账一样数起每一枪——书房一枪、吊灯两枪、门厅两枪，还有一枪打给唱歌电报女郎，逼她算清到底还剩几发。全场僵住时，一句 Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn（坦白说，我一点也不在乎）把气氛推到顶点。随后沃兹沃思复盘凶手路线，指出对方犯了个 fatal mistake（致命错误）：猴脑那道菜暴露了对方和厨师的关系。值得学的三个说法：blackmail 是敲诈勒索；one bullet left 是还剩一颗子弹；give a damn 是否定句里的「在乎、当回事」。
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。
“Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn.”
坦白说，斯卡丽特，我一点也不在乎。
借经典电影台词收尾，一句话把生死威胁说成了无所谓。
Frankly, ..., I don't give a damn.
被人威胁、想表明不在乎时用；带脏话，正式场合和长辈面前别用。
Honestly, I couldn't care less. ／ Frankly, I don't care what you do.
口语
Frankly 后微停，damn 重读并拉长，句尾下沉。
Frankly, I don't care what they write about me. 坦白说，他们怎么写我，我都不在乎。
“There are no more bullets left in that gun.”
那把枪里已经没有子弹了。
不抢枪、不劝说，只报出事实，就抽走了对方全部的筹码。
There are no more X left.
指出东西已经用光、对方无牌可打时用；安慰或提醒都合适。
That gun is empty now. ／ There's nothing left in it.
中性
no more 连读，bullets left 连读，gun 收尾放平。
There are no more tickets left for tonight. 今晚的票已经一张不剩了。
“You were the person who was missing when the cook and Mr. Boddy were murdered, and the cook used to be your cook.”
厨师和博迪先生被杀的时候，你就是那个不在场的人，而那个厨师以前是你家的厨子。
把不在场和旧关系并成一句，动机和时机同时落地。
You were the person who was missing when ...
把两件证据串成一条指控时用；正式场合也能说，语气偏结论。
You were the one absent when it happened. ／ The missing person and the old cook point to you.
正式
the person who 连读，used to be 弱读，句尾 your cook 放平。
You were the person who was missing when the keys disappeared. 钥匙不见的时候，你就是那个不在场的人。
“and monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, D.C.”
还有猴脑，虽说在粤菜里很受欢迎，可在华盛顿特区可不常见。
用一道怪菜的地域差把凶手的口味变成破案线索，妙句也是关键证词。
... though popular in ..., are not often found in ...
用地域差异调侃某样东西少见时能用；正谈论饮食禁忌的场合不要乱说。
Popular back home, but you won't find it here. ／ It's a local favourite, rare anywhere else.
中性
Cantonese cuisine 连读，Washington, D.C. 放慢咬清。
Durian is popular in the south, though not often found on this menu. 榴莲在南方很常见，可这份菜单上就难找了。
In the dark, the murderer ran across the hall to the study, picked up the rope and the lead pipe, ran to the billiard room, strangled Yvette. Ran to the library, hit the cop on the head with the lead pipe. Then, coming out of the library, the doorbell rang. It was a singing telegram. The murderer picked up the gun where Yvette dropped it, ran to the door, opened it, recognized the girl from her photograph, shot her, and then ran back to the cellar.
黑暗里，凶手穿过门厅跑进书房， 拿起绳子和铅管，跑到台球室，勒死了伊薇特。 又跑到图书室，用铅管砸了警察的头。 然后，就在他从图书室出来时，门铃响了。是个唱歌电报。 凶手捡起伊薇特掉下的枪， 跑到门口，打开门，从照片上认出了那个女孩， 开枪打死了她，然后又跑回地窖。
意思是「在乎、当回事」，几乎只用在否定句里。I don't give a damn 就是「我一点也不在乎」，比 I don't care 更重、更冲。
动词是 blackmail，名词也是 blackmail。台词里 It's no good blackmailing me 就是「敲诈我没用」，勒索的人叫 blackmailer。
表示「还剩一颗子弹」，left 放在数量后面是「剩下」的意思。也可以说 There's one bullet left，日常还能说 two days left（还剩两天）。
意思是接触不到、没有权限使用。台词里说管家 have no access to government secrets，就是「接触不到政府机密」。
是，意思是「在别人眼里地位提高、被更看得起」。estimation 在这里指评价、看法，多用于别人对你的印象变好。
