这场戏：球赛被下黑手后加注
第 20 章 · 共 22 章 · 2'32"
球赛打到一半，对方球员忽然下黑手，把这边的人弄伤下场，场边有人喊 pulled something（动了手脚）。眼看要输，两边干脆摊牌：还赌不赌？一句 double the bet（赌注翻倍）把火拱了起来，还甩出 Three-to-one（三比一）的赔率。想学球场英语、看人抬杠，这段最带劲。

球场上，一边是奋力追分的队伍，一边是对手下的黑手。有人受伤离场，场边骂着 pulled something（动了手脚）；比分咬着，还有人抱怨对方把比赛打得像 track meet（田径运动会）而不是球赛。中场休息，有人想搬出 the old Knute Rockne（老套的励志训话）稳住人心，另一边却催着 press the bets（把注下下去）。终场前双方摊牌，问要不要 double the bet（赌注翻倍），又抛出 Three-to-one（三比一）的赔率。想学怎么用英语较劲、下注、互相叫板，这段全是料。

四百？这不是田径运动会，这是橄榄球赛！
拿田径比赛作反衬，一句吐槽就把这场闹剧点了名。
This is not a ..., this is a ...!
纠正对方搞错性质时用；带火气，熟人之间行，正式场合太重。

模仿啦啦队口号吐槽场面滑稽时用；对真人喊会显得吓人。

明知故问被一句顶回来，把心虚和装糊涂照得明明白白。

两层否定叠着回怼，气势一路压过去，谈判味拉满。

下一章 · 21an old pro trick惯用伎俩这场戏：球赛口角变斗殴字面是「拽了什么东西」，口语里指搞了小动作、耍了阴招。戏里骂对手 goddamn bastards pulled something，就是说对方在场上玩手段、把己方球员弄伤了。
可以说 double the bet，也可以说 double down。bet 是赌注，double 是加倍。戏里在终场前互相叫板，一句 double the bet 就把赌局又推高了一层。
是 track meet，track 指跑道，meet 指比赛集会。戏里那句 This is not a track meet, this is a football game，就是在骂对方乱打一气，把橄榄球踢成了田径赛。
可以说 there's a time and a place for everything。time 是时候，place 是场合。戏里有人嫌对方不分时机，就拿这句去数落，语气带点火气。
Knute Rockne 是美国圣母大学传奇橄榄球教练，以赛前励志训话出名。the old Knute Rockne 后来就成了「老套励志训话」的代名词，戏里用来调侃中场动员。
