这场戏：拿枪逼问出轨丈夫
第 16 章 · 共 28 章 · 2'52"
凯伦查到丈夫情人的名字，电话里一句 You keep away from my husband（你离我丈夫远点）火力全开，还冲到楼下堵人。回家后她举枪对着亨利，最后却下不了手。后来亨利反过来一句 How does it feel?（现在什么滋味？）把场面点狠。想学吵架时怎么宣示主权、怎么用一句反问噎住对方，这段最带感。
「离……远点」是 keep away from
hang up on 挂断某人的电话keep away from 离某人远一点want you to know 想让你知道Do you hear me 你听见没有
❝ 独白 · 7 句 「别激动」说 take it easy
take it easy 别激动，放松点enough to 到了足以做某事的地步bring myself to 狠下心去做某事attracted to 被某人吸引
凯伦查到丈夫情人叫贾妮丝，打电话过去撂下一句 You keep away from my husband（你离我丈夫远点），又打给楼管告状，还跑到楼下堵门。回到家她举起了枪，说自己 crazy enough to kill both of you（疯到能把你俩都杀了），逼问 Do you love her?（你爱她吗？）。可亨利的表白和求饶让她放下了枪。事后她道出真心话：不管多受伤，她就是 bring myself to（狠不下心）离开他，还反问 Why should I give him to someone else?（我凭什么把他让给别人？）。想学吃醋、摊牌、放狠话又心软的全套英语，这段最全。

“You keep away from my husband, you hear me?”
你离我丈夫远点，听见没有？
一句话把占有、威胁和警告全压进去，末尾的 you hear me 最扎人。
You keep away from X, you hear me?
当面警告第三者或划清界限时用；对长辈、同事这样喊会翻脸。
Stay away from him, do you hear me? ／ Back off my husband, understand?
口语
keep away 连读，you hear me 降调砸下来。
You keep away from my seat, you hear me? 你离我座位远点，听见没有？
“I'm crazy enough to kill both of you.”
我疯到能把你俩都杀了。
自认疯狂反而更吓人，enough to 把威胁说成了板上钉钉的事。
be + adj + enough to do something
半真半假地撂狠话时用；正式场合或对陌生人别说。
I'm angry enough to walk out right now. ／ He's desperate enough to try anything.
口语
crazy enough 连读，to kill 重读，句尾下压。
I'm tired enough to quit this job today. 我累到今天就辞职。
“I couldn't even bring myself to leave him.”
我甚至狠不下心离开他。
把说不出口的软弱讲得干净，bring myself to 比 can't 更戳心。
can't bring oneself to do something
说自己下不了决心做某事时用；正式报告里少用这种口语。
I can't bring myself to tell her the truth. ／ She couldn't bring herself to say no.
口语
couldn't even 吞音，bring myself to 连读。
I can't bring myself to open the letter. 我实在没勇气拆那封信。
“Why should I give him to someone else?”
我凭什么要把他让给别人？
把不甘心说成一个反问，占有、愤怒和不肯认输全在里面。
Why should I give X to someone else?
表达不服气、不肯放手时能用；对当事人当面说这句会很伤人，别在谈判或分手场合用。
Why should she get him instead of me? ／ What makes her more deserving than me?
口语
Why 起句上扬，someone else 重音在 else。
I built that account. Why should I hand it to someone else now? 那客户是我做起来的。我现在凭什么让给别人？
But still I couldn't hurt him. How could I hurt him? I couldn't even bring myself to leave him. The truth was... that no matter how bad I felt... I was still very attracted to him. Why should I give him to someone else? Why should she win?
可我还是下不了手伤他。我怎么可能伤他呢？ 我甚至狠不下心离开他。 事实是…… 不管我心里多难受…… 我还是被他深深吸引。 我凭什么把他让给别人？ 凭什么让她赢？
下一章 · 17keep up appearances维持体面这场戏：劝人回家维持体面bring oneself to do something 是「下决心去做某件难做的事」，多用于否定，意思是狠不下心。I couldn't even bring myself to leave him 就是「我甚至狠不下心离开他」。
keep away from，比如 You keep away from my husband，就是「你离我丈夫远点」。警告别人别靠近某人或某物时最常用。
take it easy，等于「冷静点、别紧张」。对方情绪上头时劝一句 Take it easy，比直接说 calm down 更自然。
字面是「感觉怎么样」，但常常是反问、带刺。戏里亨利回家被拿枪指着，反过来问 How does it feel?，等于「现在什么滋味？」。
put it down 指「把某物放下」，it 指眼前那个东西。戏里是劝凯伦把枪放下，就是 Put the gun down，本质还是 put it down。
