这场戏：兑货发家并筹谋大劫案
第 20 章 · 共 28 章 · 3'03"
亨利把从匹兹堡进的货悄悄兑开，越做越大，It was a real score（大赚了一笔），还付了房子首付，things were really rolling（一切顺风顺水）。他干脆拉吉米和汤米 come in with me（入伙），开始张罗那桩后来被称为美国史上最大劫案的案子。想学怎么用英语讲发财、拉人合伙和放狠话，这里很带感。

亨利出狱后靠从匹兹堡进的货重新起家：他小心地 sneaking around（偷偷摸摸）把货兑开出手，It was a real score（大赚了一笔），用赚来的钱付了房子首付，生意 things were really rolling（顺风顺水）。他隔三差五跟桑迪说句我爱她，就能接着用她的地方。生意做大后，他拉吉米和汤米 come in with me（入伙一起干）。吉米随后开始筹谋那桩劫案，说这一票能让法航那桩案子 look like peanuts（显得微不足道），目标就是 the Lufthansa heist（汉莎航空劫案），美国史上最大的一宗。想学讲赚钱、拉伙和吹大计划时的英语，这里很典型。
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。
“But when I did, it was a real score.”
可一旦出手，就是狠狠赚了一笔。
短句里全是翻身感，前一秒还在偷偷摸摸，后一秒就赚翻了。
But when I did, it was ...
讲自己熬过难关终于得手时用；对还在努力的人说会显得炫耀。
But once it worked, it really paid off. ／ When it finally happened, it was a big win.
口语
when I did 轻读，real score 重读，句尾放平。
But when I did, it was a real score for the whole team. 可真谈成了，整个团队都赚到了。
“All I had to do was every once in a while tell Sandy that I loved her.”
我要做的，不过是隔三差五跟桑迪说一句我爱她。
把感情也写进成本账，一句轻描淡写就露出这个人的凉薄。
All I had to do was ...
把一件麻烦事说得很轻松时用；用来谈感情会显得轻浮。
The only thing I had to do was show up. ／ My part was simply to keep her happy.
口语
All I had to do 连读，once in a while 轻带，loved her 收轻。
All I had to do was send one email a week. 我要做的不过是每周发一封邮件。
“No more nut every week. No more bullshit. My dream comes true.”
再也不用每周掏那份钱了。再也不用扯这些淡。我的梦想成真了。
三个短句连甩，把一个赌徒兼骗子终于熬出头的心态喊得痛快。
No more ..., no more ... . My dream comes true.
熬过一段苦日子、终于松口气时用；正式场合把 bullshit 换掉。
No more late nights, no more excuses. ／ That is it, the hard part is over.
口语
No more 两句重读，bullshit 压低，dream comes true 上扬。
No more overtime every week, no more stress. My plan worked. 再也不用每周加班，再也不用紧绷。我的计划奏效了。
“I had a down payment on my house and things were really rolling.”
我付了房子的首付，事情正一路顺下去。
把犯罪生意的顺遂落在房子首付这种最普通的里程碑上，反而更刺人。
things were really rolling
说事情走上正轨时能用；在正式汇报里别用这种口语，换成进展顺利更稳。
I made a down payment and everything took off ／ Life was finally moving in the right direction
中性
down payment 连读，rolling 重音在前、尾音轻。
I paid off my car and the side business was really rolling. 我还清了车贷，副业也真正做起来了。
下一章 · 21bulls条子这场戏：露富买车招来条子score 在俚语里指「成功到手的一笔」，a real score 就是「大赚一笔、狠狠赚了一票」。这里亨利把匹兹堡那批货出手，用的就是这个说法。
every once in a while，表示隔一阵子偶尔一次。亨利说自己只要隔三差五跟桑迪说句我爱她，就能一直用她的地方，用的就是这个词组。
字面是花生，但这里比喻「显得微不足道、小得可怜」。吉米说这一票能让法航那桩案子 look like peanuts，就是嫌之前的案子太小。
意思是「入伙、跟着一起干」，多指加入某桩生意或计划。So I got Jimmy and Tommy to come in with me 就是「我拉了吉米和汤米入伙」。
不是「坚果」，而是赌局、牌局里每周要交的固定份子钱。No more nut every week 就是「再也不用每周交那份钱了」，是亨利最痛快的一句。
