把过程一步步讲给我听
Walk me through everyone's whereabouts at the time of death.Knives Out · 2019 — 第 5 / 14 章 · 3'10" · B2
布兰克请众人复盘案发当晚,靠一截 creak horribly(咯吱响得厉害)的楼梯和 a light sleeper(睡觉很浅的)琳达,把每个人的行踪排成一条时间线。可物证也会骗人,一句 with a forked tongue(说话两面三刀)点破:everyone can lie(人人都会撒谎)。想学复述经过、谈线索和破案,这些表达都用得上。
众人一起复盘案发当晚:玛尔塔带哈兰上楼吃药,因为楼梯 creak horribly(咯吱响得厉害),而琳达又是 a light sleeper(睡觉很浅的人),所以谁上下楼都瞒不住。第一次是乔恩妮听到响声上楼查看,吵醒琳达;十分钟后是玛尔塔离开;再过十五分钟是哈兰下楼找夜宵,沃尔特想劝他回去。法医据此定下死亡时间,大家的说法都被 accounted for(解释清楚、对得上)。可埃利奥特坚称这是自杀,有人却提醒:物证也会 with a forked tongue(说话两面三刀),everyone can lie(人人都会撒谎)——几乎所有人。想学复述经过、引用证据、点破谎言,这些表达都好用。

把过程一步步讲给我听
Walk me through everyone's whereabouts at the time of death.重音压在 Walk,me 则常弱化为很轻的 /mi/,嘴几乎不张开,两个词顺成一个音步滑出来。
Walk me through everyone's whereabouts at the time of death.咯吱响得厉害
The stairs leading up to Harlan's bedroom and his attic office creak horribly睡觉很浅、容易醒的人
警探解释为什么琳达会被楼梯声吵醒,说她是 a light sleeper。
and Linda is a light sleeper.听到头顶某处传来一声响
The first was when Joni heard a ka-thunk from somewhere above her in the house.把某物碰翻
He explained that they had just knocked over the Go board.那种带格子和棋子的游戏
You know, that game with the grid and stones?Go to 里 to 常弱化为轻短的 /tə/,舌尖轻碰上齿龈就放掉,别拖长,重心全落在 Go 上。
He was fine. "Go to bed."爱你
- Love you. 'Night. - Love you.她就照做了
So she did. - Bye.开车离开
He saw her leave and drive off.记下时间
Noted the time.第三次也是最后一次
Linda is awoken for the third and final time...下楼来找点吃的
Harlan, who came down for a midnight snack.想劝住某人
Which Walt tried to discourage.法医确定了死亡时间
Based on this, the medical examiner determined the time of death外面的狗在叫
Meg woke up because the dogs were barking outside.去了趟卫生间
She used the bathroom, went back to bed.每个人的说法都对得上
Now, everyone's stories matched,每一刻都有着落
every moment accounted for.过去分词作独立结构:every moment 后面直接接过去分词 accounted for,构成一个独立小句,表示每一刻都被交代清楚了。它省略了 be 动词,读起来像结案陈词,把「无懈可击」的假象钉牢。
every moment accounted for.不是某人干的
So, uh, we know that Ransom didn't do it because he wasn't there.某人不可能
Marta couldn't have.couldn't have 在口语里 have 几乎被吞掉,听起来像 couldna,末尾的 v 音基本不出现。
Marta couldn't have.她走时还活着
Harlan was still alive when she left.那是自杀
Except it was a suicide, all right?血迹喷溅的形态
We saw from the blood splat patterns that they were uninterrupted, meaning, it's almost impossible for anyonethat 引导的宾语从句:saw 后面先接 from 短语交代依据,再用 that 从句说出看到的内容。句子把观察和结论分开:从血迹形态看出喷溅没有中断,因此推断当时身边不可能有人。
We saw from the blood splat patterns that they were uninterrupted, meaning, it's almost impossible for anyone割了自己的喉
He's the one who cut his own throat, all right?一遍遍过同一件事
I don't know why we keep goin' over this.用两面派的方式讲清故事
Physical evidence can tell a clear story with a forked tongue.can 表可能性:can 在这里不是能力,而是「有可能」。物证可以把故事讲得清清楚楚,却同时用一条分叉的舌头说两面话。它把「证据也可能骗人」这层意思提前埋下。
Physical evidence can tell a clear story with a forked tongue.从……可以看出
And as we can see from this mornin',人人都会撒谎
everyone can lie.几乎所有人
almost everyone.Physical evidence can tell a clear story with a forked tongue.物证能把故事讲得一清二楚,却也可能用一条分叉的舌头。 把「证据」和「真话」拆开:冷冰冰的痕迹也会撒谎。它提醒人,最像事实的东西往往最需要被追问,是全片怀疑精神的凝练。
So, uh, we know that Ransom didn't do it because he wasn't there.所以,呃,我们知道兰森没做,因为他当时不在场。 把一整条推理链压成一句轻描淡写的结论,so 和 uh 让它像随口一说,实际是在给听众排除嫌疑人。
Walk me through everyone's whereabouts at the time of death.把死亡时间前后每个人的行踪给我过一遍。 一句标准侦探指令,用 walk me through 把复杂的排查变成带人走一遍现场;语气平静,却掌控全局。
I don't know why we keep goin' over this.我不懂我们干嘛要一遍遍翻来覆去地过这个。 用一句抱怨暴露警察的自我怀疑:越是反复确认,越说明结论站不住。句子越随意,焦虑越明显。
意思是「睡觉很浅、容易醒的人」。戏里说 Linda is a light sleeper,正因为琳达睡得浅,楼上楼梯一响她就醒,谁走过都被记下来。
意思是「说话两面三刀、口是心非」。戏里说物证也能 tell a clear story with a forked tongue,就是「物证也能把故事讲得头头是道,却是骗人的」。
就是「去睡觉、就寝」,比 go to bed 更口语。戏里说 Walt and Jacob turned in shortly after that,就是「沃尔特和雅各布随后也去睡了」。
accounted for。戏里说 everyone's stories matched, every moment accounted for,就是「每个人的说法都对得上,每一刻都有着落」,指没有说不清的空档。
他拿出物证:哈兰割开了颈动脉,从血迹喷溅看,当时几乎不可能有人在他身边。所以他认为没人动手,是哈兰自己割的喉。
