安迪的妹妹找上侦探伯努瓦,说姐姐不是自杀。侦探不接案,反倒要她假扮死去的姐姐一起上岛。buttress(支撑、加固)是请人稳住情绪,out of the blue(毫无预兆地)指话题突然转到姐姐身上。求人办事时都能用。
安迪的妹妹海伦登门找侦探伯努瓦,说姐姐不是自杀,也没留字条,只找到一封没人回的邮件,认定是谋杀。伯努瓦只肯找出真相交给法庭,却要她剪发换装,以安迪的身份一起上岛。海伦觉得疯狂,却承认是唯一的办法。给人下最后通牒用 one last chance(最后一次机会,过后不候);请人稳住情绪用 buttress(支撑、加固);说事情毫无预兆地发生,用 out of the blue(毫无预兆地)。

她管这个叫什么
You know what she called it?我们小时候
接到(那通)电话
So you, um... you get the call.把屋子清空、收拾遗物
And then I go to Andi's house. I'm cleaning it out. It's a mess.某个巧妙的办法
And I'm sure there's some clever way to open it.去…的邀请
同位语:an invitation to his private island 用同位语补出那封信到底是什么,先把悬念停住,再一句话揭开。同位语让信息来得又稳又准。
混蛋、蠢货(骂人用语)——直白的骂人话,侮辱性强。只适合背后吐槽或影视台词,当面说等于撕破脸,正式场合禁用。
But I knew who they were, and I told her who they were. Shitheads.留下字条
She didn't leave any note.终于找到了
I finally found it.最后一次机会,过后不候
安迪在邮件里给这群人 last chance,说 I m giving you all one last chance to make things right,先礼后兵。
I'm giving you all one last chance to make things right.回信、回复
She sends that email, nobody writes back anythingwrites 词尾的 s 直接滑进 back 的 b,常连成 /ˈraɪtsbæk/,中间不留断点。
She sends that email, nobody writes back anything把某人单独逮到
But if one was to get 'em alone虚拟条件句:if one was to get em alone 用 was to 引出一种假设情境:要是能单独逮到他们。它把设局讲成条件推演,听起来像在算一笔稳赚的账。
But if one was to get 'em alone被隔离一整个周末
雇我
You wanna hire me to go to that island?一个蠢主意
It's a stupid idea, right?想把话说清楚
Listen, I want to be clear, huh?want to be 结构:I want to be clear 用 want to be 加形容词,先给一句声明:我要把话说清楚。它常用来在谈判或摊牌前划定立场。
Listen, I want to be clear, huh?收集证据
I can find you the truth. I can gather evidence.对外发一份声明
Did you release a statement, Helen? No.「糟了、见鬼」(粗口感叹)——表示懊恼或震惊,脏话程度中等。朋友间随口说可以,对客户、长辈和正式场合都不要用。
Shit. Was I supposed to?泄漏给媒体
leaking 的 ng 顺进 to 的 /tə/,再滑到 the press,整串一口气连下,重音留 leaking。
时间状语从句:when you crossed my threshold 是时间状语从句,把那份敬意的适用时刻定在「你踏进我家门」的那一刻。用过去时补出旧情,正是在提醒对方现在该怎么做。
以你姐姐的身份
关键的催化剂
Your presence on that island is the essential catalyst.听着太疯狂
Yeah, I'm trying real hard to buttress, but this sounds nuts.疯狂的、不靠谱的——口语里形容计划或行为离谱,语气随意。熟人之间常用,正式场合换用 irrational 之类更中性的词。
Yeah, I'm trying real hard to buttress, but this sounds nuts.唯一的办法
But it is the only way that this works.强调 only way:it is the only way that this works 用 it is 把唯一性顶到最前,再用 that 从句说明「只有这样做才成立」。它把方案说成没有替代项,语气近乎命令。
But it is the only way that this works.the 弱化为 /ðə/,只轻轻点一下舌尖,重音全压在 only 和 way 上。
But it is the only way that this works.一眼就看得出来
Look at me. They'll know instantly that I'm not her.But I knew who they were, and I told her who they were. Shitheads.可我清楚他们是什么货色,也告诉过她他们是什么货色。一群混蛋。 前两句还克制,最后一个词把情绪全部砸出来;承认早就看透,也承认没能拦住。
I can find you the truth. I can gather evidence.我能替你找到真相,我能收集证据。 把职业说成承诺:不抓人、不动手,只负责把真相摆出来,边界清楚反而更可信。
I've not seen your sister's death in the news.我没在新闻里看到你姐姐去世的消息。 不质问、不指责,只陈述一个事实缺口;越平静,越像一记探针。
She had the guts and brains for both of us, and I was just happy watching her, you know.她一个人有我们俩的胆识和脑子,我就乐意看着她发光。 把姐妹间的差距说成骄傲而不是嫉妒,最后一句 watching her 把爱意落到最朴素的动作上。
意思是突然地、毫无预兆地。blue 指蓝天,字面像「从蓝天里掉下来」,形容一件事来得毫无征兆,比如多年没联系的人突然打电话来。
one last chance。给人下最后通牒时用,比如台词 I'm giving you all one last chance to make things right,就是「我给你们最后一次机会把事情补救好」。
buttress 本来是建筑上的「支撑、加固」,这里当动词用,意思是让人把敬意或情绪稳住、撑住。侦探反复用它,是叫对方别垮掉、把姿态端住。
侦探的自嘲表态:他不是超级英雄,不能替天行道。他只能找出真相、收集证据,再交给警察和法庭,越界的部分他做不了。
I know a guy。口语里常用来暗示「我有门路」。海伦问头发怎么办,对方答 I know a guy,意思是找个熟人来搞定。
