这场戏：披萨店清早为扫地拌嘴
第 2 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'12"
清早的披萨店，热浪刚起，萨尔让皮诺扫地，皮诺转手推给维托，兄弟俩当着老爹互相告状。母亲姐妹路过门口，叮嘱穆奇 The man says it's going to be hot as the devil.（广播里说今天热得要命。），别热晕了。想用英文抱怨天气、说「今天热得要命」，hot as the devil 太地道了。
❝ 独白 · 4 句 萨尔替披萨店辩护
四句一鼓作气，把「正经生意」越说越硬，底气里却透着心虚。
Take it easy, you'll live longer（放轻松，你能多活几年）
late again 又迟到了up the block 就在这条街上Take it easy 放轻松、别急get paid for 拿钱就是干这个的
大热天的清早，萨尔在店里忙前忙后。皮诺问他给空调师傅打过电话没有，萨尔说打了一整个星期，可 He won't come around here unless he has a police escort.（除非有警察护送，不然他才不肯来这儿。）。他叫皮诺扫地，皮诺转手推给维托，维托立刻跟老爹告状，说皮诺脑子不好使；皮诺则甩出一句 I hate this frigging place.（我恨死这破地方了。）。穆奇迟到进店，母亲姐妹在门口叮嘱 The man says it's going to be hot as the devil.（广播里说今天热得要命。），别热晕了。穆奇不肯扫地，和皮诺为谁该干活拌嘴。想练抱怨天气、抱怨工作和互相推活，这几句全在。
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 hate this frigging place. I detest it like a sickness.”
我恨死这破地方了。我厌恶它，就像厌恶一种病。
两个词层层加码，把上班的怨气说到顶，还带一点自嘲。
I hate X. I detest it like a sickness.
跟熟人吐槽工作或环境时用；当着上司客户别说这种话。
I hate this place; it makes me sick. ／ I can't stand it here, it's like a disease.
口语
hate 和 detest 重读，sickness 前略停，怨气拉满。
I hate this commute. I detest it like a sickness. 我恨死这通勤了，厌恶它就像厌恶一种病。
“Why don't you relax, Pino? Take it easy, you'll live longer.”
皮诺，你干嘛不放松点？别那么较劲，你能多活几年。
劝人别上火，还拿「多活几年」逗一句，狠话裹着好意。
Take it easy, ... you'll live longer.
劝朋友别太较真时用；对长辈或严肃场合别这么打趣。
Relax, it's really not worth it. ／ Calm down, you'll live longer.
口语
Why don't you 轻快带过，live longer 拖长收尾。
Take it easy, man, you'll live longer. 放轻松点，哥们，你能多活几年。
“I don't want you falling out from the heat, you hear me, son?”
我可不想你热得晕过去，听见没，孩子？
街坊大妈半句叮嘱，命令的口气里全藏着心疼。
I don't want you ...ing, you hear me?
对晚辈唠叨关心时用；写工作邮件别用这种家长口气。
Don't go fainting on me, you hear? ／ I don't want you getting sick out there.
口语
you hear me 放慢加重，son 轻轻收尾，像长辈口吻。
I don't want you skipping lunch, you hear me? 我不想你不吃午饭，听见没？
“Every time you tell Pino what to do, he tells me to do what you told him what to do.”
你每次叫皮诺做事，他就把你要他做的转手叫我做。
用一圈套娃句把推诿的荒诞说圆，越绕越像店里真实运转的样子。
Every time you tell X ... , he tells me ...
吐槽层层转包、互相推责时用，同事之间好笑，正式汇报要换成清楚的说法。
You tell him, he tells me, nothing gets done. ／ The order never reaches me straight.
口语
tell Pino what to do 连读，后半句放慢绕回去。
Every time you tell him to do something, he tells me to do it. 你每次叫他做事，他就转手叫我做。
No, I didn't think so. You see, Pino, this is a respectable business and there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, if there's something wrong with that, I want you to tell me. You can... No. You can... No. You can tell me right now. Is there something wrong with that?
不，我就知道你没那本事。你看，皮诺，这是正经生意，这没什么见不得人的。 我是说，要是这有什么不对，你就告诉我。 你可以……不。你可以……不。你现在就可以跟我说。 这有什么不对吗？
下一章 · 03be my guest请便这场戏：扫街挣一块钱挨骂就是「热得要命、热得邪乎」。devil 在这里只用来加强语气，不是真有魔鬼。广播说 it's going to be hot as the devil，就是预报今天热到爆。
hot as the devil，也可以说 hot as hell。想形容天热到受不了，除了 very hot，用这个说法更生动：It's hot as the devil today.
就是「上门、来一趟」。He won't come around here unless he has a police escort. 说的是空调师傅嫌这一带不安全，除非有警察护送才肯来。
是，但通常骂得比较随便。字面是「脑死亡」，口语里指「脑子不好使、死脑筋」。维托说 He's brain-dead, Pop，就是当面吐槽哥哥皮诺笨。
这是句尾叮嘱，等于「听见没有」。母亲姐妹说 I don't want you falling out from the heat, you hear me, son?，就是在强调：别热晕了，听到没有。
