这场戏：被骂出房间后学反向心理
第 5 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'21"
乔乔想赶走阁楼里的艾莎，结果碰了一鼻子灰。幻想中的阿道夫来支招：In fact, you could use it to your advantage（其实，你还能把它变成你的优势），办法是「反向心理」——make her feel safe（让她觉得安全），等 her guard（她的警惕）一松，掌控局面的人就是你。想学怎么用英语出主意、讲策略，这段又好笑又损。
❝ 独白 · 20 句 「把它变成你的优势」英语说 use it to your advantage
to your advantage 化为优势blow me up 把我炸掉in actual fact 事实上drop her guard 放松警惕
乔乔冲阁楼喊话，要艾莎 find somewhere else to live（另找个地方住），却被她一句 Get the hell out of my room（给我滚出我的房间）顶了回去。幻想中的阿道夫接着登场，先嫌弃的说 That's just my two Pfennige（这只是我的一点小意见），再教乔乔一招：In fact, you could use it to your advantage（其实，你还能把它变成你的优势）。他的办法叫 reverse psychology（反向心理）——make her feel safe（让她觉得安全），等 she'll drop her guard（她放松警惕），掌控局面的人就是你。临走还抖了个包袱：We're having unicorn for dinner（今晚我家吃独角兽）。想学出主意、讲策略和吐槽的英语，这一章很好笑。

“Get the hell out of my room.”
给我滚出我的房间。
被赶出自己房间的荒诞全在这句粗话里，简短、凶狠、好笑。
Get the hell out of + 地方
极度生气赶人时用；非常粗鲁，对朋友玩笑着说都可能翻脸，正式场合绝不能用。
Get out of here. ／ Get the hell out of my house.
口语
the hell 重读，out of 连读成 ou-ra，句尾降调砸下去。
Get the hell off my porch before I call someone. 赶紧从我家门廊滚开，不然我叫人了。
“Stop offering me damned cigarettes! I'm ten!”
别再递给我那该死的烟了！我才十岁！
把儿童的抗议和成年人的脏话放在一起，反差本身就是笑点。
Stop offering me + 名词!
烦透别人一直递东西时用；Stop offering me 是直白命令，对长辈说会显得冲。
Stop offering me more cake. ／ Quit passing me those forms.
口语
Stop offering me 连读，damned 重读，I'm ten 两个词顿开。
Stop offering me drinks; I am driving tonight. 别再劝我喝了，我今晚开车。
“In fact, you could use it to your advantage.”
其实，你还能把它变成你的优势。
一句轻巧的转折，把被动挨整说成可以反手利用的资源。
use something to your advantage
劝人把不利条件反过来利用时用；工作、谈判、比赛都合适，语气积极。
turn it to your advantage ／ make the most of it
中性
use it to 连读，your advantage 里重音在 van 上。
Use the delay to your advantage and prepare a better pitch. 把这段延误利用起来，准备一个更好的方案。
“The only reason I survived, apart from having bombproof legs, is because I outwitted old von Stauffy.”
我能活下来，除了这双腿防弹之外，唯一的原因是智取了老施陶菲。
把逃过暗杀说成腿好加聪明，吹牛吹得认真，才格外可笑。
The only reason ... is because ...
强调唯一原因时用；叙述经历、解释结果都合适，书面口语都常见。
The only reason we won is that we trained harder. ／ The sole reason is his stubbornness.
口语
only reason 连读，apart from 稍停，is because 弱读带过。

“make her feel safe and then she'll drop her guard and then you will be the one in control.”
让她觉得安全，她就会放松警惕，然后掌控局面的人就是你。
三步计划说得像兵法，可主语是个十岁小孩和一个藏起来的女孩。
make someone feel safe and then ...
讲谈判或相处策略时可用这个因果链；日常给建议也行，别说成操控别人。
set them at ease and then make your move ／ win their trust first, then decide
中性
and then 反复出现，一次比一次快，in control 收尾降调。
Make them feel safe and then ask for the bigger order. 先让对方安心，再谈更大的单子。
“We're having unicorn for dinner at my place tonight.”
今晚我家吃独角兽。
用一个童话动物就把这场严肃密谋说成了小孩过家家。
We're having + 食物 + at my place
邀约或随口报菜名时用；at my place 很口语，正式邀请用 at my home。
We're having pizza at my place. ／ Dinner is at my flat tonight.
口语
having unicorn 连读，at my place 三个词轻快带过。
We're having dumplings at my place on Sunday. 周日来我家吃饺子。
“That's just my two Pfennige.”
这只是我的一点小意见。
把英语俗语里的硬币换成德国芬尼，一句就交代了时代和人物。
That's just my two + 货币
提完意见后自谦时用；my two cents 是固定说法，换成别的货币是本地化玩笑。
That's just my two cents. ／ Just my two cents' worth.
口语
just my 弱读，two Pfennige 重读，句尾轻收。
That is just my two cents, but the title needs work. 只是个人看法，标题还得改改。
Okay, let's talk like turkeys. You can't tell your mother or that Jew will cut off your Nazi head, but there's no reason this thing in the attic needs to ruin your life. In fact, you could use it to your advantage. How? When someone tries to use mind powers on me, know what I do? Use mind powers back on them. Remember last year when that one-arm pirate von Stauffenberg tried to blow me up with a table bomb? Yeah, you survived. Correctomundo. The only reason I survived, apart from having bombproof legs, is because I outwitted old von Stauffy. I let him think that I was dead, when in actual fact, I was absolutely fine. By pretending I was dead, I drew out all the traitors. So what are you going to do? Pretend I'm dead? Exactly. Wait, no. No, what I mean is this: make her feel safe and then she'll drop her guard and then you will be the one in control. - Reverse psychology. - Don't complicate things. Just use my backwards mind power trick, and everything will be fine.
好吧，咱们来谈点正事。 你不能告诉你妈妈，不然那犹太人会砍掉你这纳粹的脑袋， 但没道理让阁楼里那个东西毁了你的生活。 其实，你还能把它变成你的优势。 怎么变？ 有人想对我用精神控制时，知道我怎么干吗？ 反过来对他们用精神控制。 记得去年那个独臂海盗施陶芬贝格想用公文包炸弹把我炸死吗？ 记得，你活下来了。 完全正确。 我能活下来，除了这双腿防弹之外，唯一的原因是智取了老施陶菲。 我让他以为我死了，可实际上我一点事都没有。 靠装死，我把所有叛徒都引了出来。 那你打算怎么办？ 装死？ 没错。等等，不是。 不，我的意思是： 让她觉得安全，她就会放松警惕，然后掌控局面的人就是你。 ——反向心理。——别把事情搞复杂。 只管用我那套反着来的精神控制法，一切都会没事的。
下一章 · 06get over接受并放下这场戏：夜归哄睡还替藏人打掩护意思是「反向心理」，指不直接命令对方，而是反着引导，让他自己往你想要的方向走。这里阿道夫的意思是先让艾莎放松，再反过来掌控她。
use it to your advantage，advantage 指「优势」。use something to your advantage 就是「把某样东西化为自己的优势」，把麻烦变成筹码时最常用。
guard 在这里指「戒备心」，drop one's guard 就是「放松警惕、卸下戒备」。阿道夫说要先让她觉得安全，她才会 drop her guard，然后你才能掌控。
blow someone up，指用炸药把某人炸死。台词里说 von Stauffenberg tried to blow me up with a table bomb，就是「想用公文包炸弹把我炸死」。
Pfennige 是德国辅币芬尼，这句等于英文的 my two cents，意思是「这只是我的一点小意见」。阿道夫用它表示自己只是随口一说。
