这场戏：战争结束后道别挨打
第 17 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'19"
战争结束后，克伦岑多夫对乔乔说 I'm sorry about Rosie（罗茜的事，我很抱歉），还说 She was a good person（她是个好人），叮嘱他 Now, go home. Look after that sister of yours（回家吧，照顾好你那个姐姐）。可人群很快认出乔乔是纳粹，场面眼看要失控，幸好约基回来把他拉走。想学告别、安慰和挨骂时的英语，很值得看。

战败那天，街头一片 hysteria（歇斯底里）。克伦岑多夫先为罗茜道歉：I'm sorry about Rosie. She was a good person（罗茜的事我很抱歉，她是个好人），还夸乔乔的书很有创意，说 I've been meaning to tell you（我一直想跟你说）。他让乔乔回家，Now, go home. Look after that sister of yours（现在回家吧，照顾好你那个姐姐）。可话音刚落，人群就认出他穿着纳粹制服，对他喊 Get away（滚开）；乔乔辩解，却没人听。幸好约基出现，把他从人群里带走。战争结束了，乔乔却一点不轻松：It's definitely not a good time to be a Nazi（现在当纳粹肯定不是好时候）。想学道歉、安慰和挨骂时的英语，这里很扎心。

下一章 · 18for old time's sake看在往日情分上这场戏：识破假信后决心出逃意思是「一直想跟你说」，用现在完成进行时强调这个念头已经憋了很久。I've been meaning to tell you 常用来引出迟到的真心话，比 I want to tell you 更有分量。
hysteria，指失控的情绪或集体性的恐慌。台词里用一句 Hysteria, my friend 来解释街头的混乱，画面感很强，也能形容一个人的歇斯底里。
意思是「说得通、讲得通」。Nothing makes sense anymore 就是「现在什么都不对劲了」，常用来形容局势或说法让人无法理解。
not a good time to do something。It's definitely not a good time to be a Nazi 就是「现在当纳粹肯定不是好时候」，句式很简单：It's not a good time to + 动词。
I'm sorry about + 事情。I'm sorry about Rosie 就是「罗茜的事，我很抱歉」，用于为已经发生的坏事表达难过，比只道歉多一些哀悼意味。
