这场戏：面试被嫌有妥瑞氏症
第 7 章 · 共 17 章 · 2'56"
布拉德去小学面试，聊着聊着突然发出怪声，面试官以为他嗓子卡了东西，问 You got something stuck in your throat（你嗓子里卡了东西吧），其实那是妥瑞氏症。他淡定回一句 take something as a challenge（把某件事当成挑战），还说不信有哪个孩子没救。想表达不服输、偏要做成，这句就能用。
"I don't believe that any kid is hopeless"（没有哪个孩子是没救的）
take that as a challenge 把这当成挑战yell out obscenities 大声喊出脏话coprolalia 秽语症（不自主骂脏话）any kid is hopeless 觉得哪个孩子没救
"But I would never ever work for a man that doesn't care about his students"（绝不替不关心学生的人干活）
bottom line 说到底、关键所在refrain from making these noises 忍住，别发出这些声音care about his students 关心他的学生take no more of your time 不再占用你的时间
布拉德去小学面试五年级教师。他有妥瑞氏症，面试中不受控地发出怪声，面试官先说这地方不好干、学生很难管，又说想在这儿教书就得 refrain from doing something（忍住、克制不做某事），别在课上出声；布拉德把刁难当成动力，回一句 take something as a challenge（把某件事当成挑战），并说没有哪个孩子是没救的。聊到后面，面试官的态度让他失望，他索性说绝不替一个 care about someone（关心、在乎某人）都做不到的人工作。表达不服输用 take something as a challenge，讲规矩、讲要求用 refrain from，评价老板有没有良心用 care about，面试、职场沟通都能直接套。

我不相信有哪个孩子是没救的。
一句话立住立场，把教育者的信念说得干净有力，值得单独拿出来记。
I don't believe that ... is hopeless.

“But I would never ever work for a man that doesn't care about his students.”
但我绝不会给一个不关心学生的人干活。
用 never ever 加重语气，把原则和尊严一起摆上桌，拒绝得有理有节。

拒掉违背自己原则的机会时用；对朋友可直说，对长辈要放软语气。
I could never work for someone like that. ／ That is a line I will not cross.

never ever 两个词都重读，稍作停顿，最后 care about 连读。

表达不受某条件影响时用；适合下定决心的场合，正式场合少用。
Rain or no rain, we are going. ／ Degree or no degree, he was going to teach.
口语
两个 Tourette's 都要重读，中间 or no 快而轻，后半句放慢。
Rain or no rain, we are going to the game. 下不下雨都好，这场比赛我们照去。
“I had no choice but to prove Tourette's would never get the best of me.”
我别无选择，只能证明妥瑞氏症永远别想打垮我。
把被动处境写成主动宣战，have no choice but to 一句立住整个人物。
have no choice but to ...
说自己被逼到只能做某件事、表明决心时用；对朋友可袒露，对客户慎用以免显得无奈。
I was left with no choice but to prove them wrong. ／ I had to prove it wouldn't beat me.
中性
no choice but to 连读，prove 重读，get the best of me 一气呵成。

下一章 · 08have the gift有天赋这场戏：继母登门点醒他意思是把某件事当成挑战，用积极的态度去面对刁难或难题。面试官说学校学生难管，布拉德就用这句表示自己不退反进。
refrain from doing something。想要求对方上课别出声，可以说 you're going to have to refrain from making these noises in class，语气比 don't 更正式，更像在讲规定。
他是想先给布拉德打个预防针，说这儿有不少 hard cases（难管的孩子），工作强度大。这既像提醒，也像试探他会不会知难而退。
意思是关心、在乎某人。布拉德用它回击面试官，说绝不会给一个不关心学生的上司工作，这句话把整场面试的矛盾挑明了。
take no more of your time。布拉德决定不要这份工作时说 I'll take my portfolio and take no more of your time，体面又决绝地结束对话。
