这场戏：演捡钱包戏套近乎
第 4 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'30"
哈里在夜总会里演了一出小把戏：举着个“捡到的”钱包问 I beg your pardon, does this wallet belong to one of you gentlemen?（打扰一下，这钱包是你们哪位先生的吗？），再顺口讲起芝加哥的旧相识拉蒙特。对方一听，喊出 Well, what do you know?（你说巧不巧？）——以为遇上了老乡，其实全是套路。
❝ 独白 · 5 句 「你说巧不巧」英语怎么说？what do you know
I beg your pardon 劳驾、抱歉（打扰时）belong to 属于某人what do you know 你说巧不巧someone from home 老乡、家乡来的人
哈里从线报下手：夜总会里来了 Three live ones（三个好上钩的），是两个芝加哥男装商人，其中一个 half-pint（小个子）总念叨要给老朋友拉蒙特写信。他拿着钱包上前，客气地问 I beg your pardon, does this wallet belong to one of you gentlemen?（这钱包是你们哪位先生的吗？），又讲起在美国丢钱包、认识一个做配件、就叫 Lamont 的朋友。对方立刻来了精神：Did you say Lamont?（你说的拉蒙特？），喊出 Well, what do you know? We were just talking about him!（哎呀，你说巧不巧，我们刚才还正说他呢）。有人感叹 It's like meeting someone from home（就像遇上老乡一样），哈里叮嘱他们写信时 give him my best（替我问他好），递上名片，把两位请去 Silver Fox（银狐俱乐部）。

“Hey, Harry. Three live ones. What's it worth to you?”
嘿，哈里。三个好上钩的。这情报对你值多少？
把活生生的人叫成待宰的猎物，一句就把这条街的买卖逻辑摊开。
What's it worth to you?
打听消息、掂量情报值多少钱时用；对正经生意伙伴说会显得太市侩。
What's that information worth to you? ／ Name your price for the tip.
口语
live ones 重读，worth to you 连读，句尾轻扬。
I know a flat going cheap. What's it worth to you? 我知道有套便宜房子。这消息对你值多少钱？
“One of them, the half-pint, kept on talking about a friend of his called Lamont he must write to.”
其中一个，那个矮个子，一直念叨着有个叫拉蒙特的朋友，说他非得给人家写信不可。
把无心的一句话记成把柄，越琐碎的细节越显出听者的精明。
One of them kept on talking about ...
转述某人反复念叨的内容、点出可利用信息时用；正式汇报里显得太随意。
One of them would not stop going on about it. ／ He kept bringing up the same name.
中性
half-pint 与 kept on 之间稍停，Lamont 名字重读。
One of them kept on talking about a client he had to call. 其中一个一直念叨着有个客户他非得打电话不可。
“Say, er... You boys surely don't plan to spend the entire evening here?”
我说，呃……你们俩不会打算整晚都待在这儿吧？
用一句半开玩笑的问话给人铺好台阶，邀请和算计裹在同一句话里。
You surely don't plan to [do something]?
委婉地劝人换个地方、别干耗着时用；对不熟的人说起来会显得多管闲事。
You don't mean to stay here all night? ／ Surely you have better plans than this?
口语
Say, er 轻快带过，surely 重读，句尾问号上扬。
You surely don't plan to eat here again? 你不会打算又在这儿吃吧？
“Well, what do you know? We were just talking about him!”
哎呀，你说巧不巧？我们刚才还正说起他呢！
假装的惊喜说得像真的一样，一句「正说他呢」把骗子递过来的钩子稳稳咬住。
Well, what do you know? We were just talking about [someone]!
偶遇巧合或想接话套近乎时用；对不熟的人反复用会显得刻意，像在演。
Well, isn't that a coincidence! ／ Fancy that, his name just came up!
口语
what do you know 整体上扬，just talking about him 加快，句尾 him 落重。
Well, what do you know? We were just talking about her in the kitchen. 哎呀，你说巧不巧？我们刚在厨房还说起她呢。
Happened to me once back in the States. Travelling from New York to San Francisco. Changed trains in Chicago, you know. Darned if I don't lose my wallet. Luckily I knew a chap in The Loop - motor supplies. Fella named Lamont.
我在美国的时候就遇上过一回。 那会儿正从纽约去旧金山。 你知道吗，在芝加哥换的车。 结果我偏偏就把钱包给丢了。 幸好我在卢普区认识个哥们儿——做汽车配件的。叫拉蒙特。
下一章 · 05take it easy别激动这场戏：在摔跤场被赶出去在口语里常作感叹，表示「你说巧不巧、真没想到」。原句 Well, what do you know，是听说对方认识拉蒙特时的惊喜反应。
本义是「请再说一遍」或「对不起」，也常用来礼貌地开口打扰别人。原句就是拿着钱包客气地问「这是你们哪位先生的吗」。
字面是「半品脱」，口语里指小个子、小不点儿，常带调侃。原句用它指那两个商人里比较矮的那位。
be well taken care of。take care of 是「照顾」，原句 You'll be well taken care of，就是「你在那儿会被照顾得很好」。
指「巧合、巧事」。原句 That's quite a coincidence，就是「真是太巧了」，正是哈里这场戏要制造的效果。
give him my best。原句 give him my best，就是「替我向他问好」，best 在这里等于 best regards，写信、托人转达时用。
