一个人撑起的一段戏，值得整段跟读❝ 记者的越狱独家
All right, here's your story. The jailbreak of your dreams. This expert, Dr. Egelhoffer, the thinker from New York... ...was giving Williams a sanity test in the sheriff's office. Sticking a lot of pins in him so he could get his reflexes. He decided to reenact the crime as it had taken place... ...in order to study Williams' coordination. I'm coming to it. He had to have a gun to reenact the crime with. Who do you suppose supplied it? Peter B. Hartwell. "B" for brains. No kidding! I'm not kidding. I'm not good enough to make this up. The sheriff gave his gun to the professor... ...who gave it to Earl, who shot the professor in the classified ads. No, ads. Ain't it perfect? If he'd unrolled a red carpet and loaned Williams an umbrella... ...it couldn't have been more ideal. Who? Oh, no. Egelhoffer wasn't badly hurt. They took him to the hospital, where they're afraid he'll recover.
好吧，听你的独家：这可是你梦寐以求的越狱新闻。 这位专家，纽约来的思想家埃格尔霍弗医生…… ……当时正在警长办公室给威廉斯做精神状态测试。 往他身上扎了不少针，好测试他的反射神经。 他决定按案发经过重演这起罪案…… ……好研究威廉斯的协调能力。 我马上说到这儿。他得有把枪，才能重演这起罪案。 你猜是谁提供的？彼得·B·哈特韦尔。“B”代表“脑子”。 不会吧！ 我没开玩笑。我可没本事编出这种事。 警长把自己的枪给了那位教授…… ……教授又把枪给了厄尔，厄尔就在分类广告部开枪打中了教授。 不，是广告部。 这还不“完美”吗？ 就算他给威廉斯铺上红地毯、再借他一把雨伞…… ……也不可能比这更理想了。 谁？哦，不，埃格尔霍弗伤得不重。 他们把他送进医院，大家竟担心他会康复。
信息层层推进，最后用康复反讽收刀。
本章要点
看完能带走什么- 学会用 get the story 讲拿到独家
- 听懂 a pip、dope 等老派新闻口语
- 用 in order to 表达明确目的
- 识别把坏消息说成好消息的反讽
常被搜到的问题
先看问题，再对照台词a pip 是什么意思？
a pip 是老派口语，意思是“很棒的东西”或“很出色的人”。
tear it out of Cooley 怎么翻译？
这里不是撕出来，而是花钱或施压，硬从 Cooley 那里逼出独家消息。
in order to 后面接什么？
in order to 后接动词原形，表示“为了……”，如 in order to study。
Ain't it perfect? 是反讽吗？
是。表面夸“完美”，实际是在说这场荒唐越狱荒唐得可笑。
新闻里的 exclusive 是什么意思？
表示独家消息或独家报道；Hildy 抢在别人之前拿到这条线。
where they're afraid he'll recover 为什么好笑？
因为 recover 本是好事，句子却用 afraid 表示担心，故意把好消息说反。
