第 19 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'11"
深夜警官上门查执照，问了一句 Where did you obtain this license（你这张执照从哪儿领的），又说 I'm afraid this is not in order（恐怕这个有问题），当场把执照收走要送交鲍街。店主还想拉着警官喝一杯姜汁汽水，说 You can't refuse to wish me luck（你总不能不肯祝我走运吧）。

哈里深夜赶到菲格勒家，菲格勒直说他 Dead beat（累垮了），让他喝口热水、go upstairs（上楼）歇着，说 You need a little bit of life in you（你得提提神，身上添点活气），还讲店里的琴被伯特弹得 He don't give it the care it wants（他根本不好好爱惜它）。警官登门后也客客气气，看了执照说 everything seems to be in order（看起来一切都没问题），可一记编号就变了脸——I'm afraid this is not in order（恐怕这个有问题），Where did you obtain this license（你这张执照从哪儿领的），还说要把它送到鲍街当局。店主想拖住警官喝杯姜汁汽水：You can't refuse to wish me luck（你总不能不肯祝我走运吧），警官还是说了句 Good night（晚安）就走。

“You need a little bit of life in you.”
你得提提神，身上添点活气。
不说你太累，只说添点活气，关心藏在家常话里。
You need a little bit of ... in you.
关心别人气色差时用；对长辈说要注意口气。
You need some colour in your face. ／ A cup of tea will put some life in you.
口语
a little bit of 连读，life 重读，in you 轻收。
You need a little bit of rest in you before the trip. 出门前你得歇一歇，攒点精神。
“I hope so, ma'am. Just finished training school last month.”
希望是吧，女士。我上个月刚从警校毕业。
一句交代资历，新人的拘谨和认真全在里面。
Just finished ... last month.
说自己刚入行、资历浅时用；正式场合要补上主语 I。
I only finished training last month. ／ I'm new to this beat.
中性
hope so 弱读，ma'am 轻带，last month 收尾。
Just finished my course last month, so I'm still learning. 我上个月刚结课，还在学。
“Where did you obtain this license, ma'am?”
您这张执照是从哪儿领的，女士？
用词越正式，越显得公事公办，问句本身就是一种施压。
Where did you obtain ...?
追问来路、走正式程序时用；日常聊天这样说太生硬。
Where did you get this licence? ／ Who issued this licence to you?
正式
obtain 重读，this license 连读，ma'am 轻收。
Where did you obtain this permit, sir? 先生，您这张许可证是从哪儿领的？
“You can't be breaking many rules with a little ginger ale.”
喝杯姜汁汽水，算不上犯什么大规矩。
用最轻的汽水去化解最硬的规矩，拐着弯劝人通融，机灵里带点江湖气。
You can't be breaking many rules with a little [harmless thing].
求人通融、把违规说得很轻时用；对较真的执法人员说，可能反而惹人反感。
A little ginger ale won't break any rules. ／ One soft drink hardly counts as a violation.
口语
can't be 连读，breaking many rules 加快，a little ginger ale 放慢收轻。
You can't be breaking many rules with a little five-minute delay. 就晚个五分钟，算不上犯什么大规矩。
指「被吊销、除名」，多用于执照、资格被官方取消。原句说这家店被 listed as being struck off，就是「登记为停业、执照被吊销」。
字面是「在你手肘边」，引申为「守在身边、随叫随到」。原句 There'll be a waiter at your elbow all the time，就是「会一直有个服务员守在你旁边」。
dead beat。原句 Dead beat, ain't you?，就是「累垮了吧，是不是？」，形容筋疲力尽，口语里很常见。
wish me luck。原句 You can't refuse to wish me luck，就是「你总不能不肯祝我走运吧」，出发、开张、考试前都能用。
指「合规、没问题」，不是「按顺序」。原句 everything seems to be in order 是「看起来一切都没问题」，反过来说 not in order 就是「有问题、不合规」。
at your elbow 就很地道。它强调人就在旁边随时待命，比 next to you 更有画面，服务场合常见。
