毫无顾忌地使用
we've freely used the atomic bomb...Oppenheimer · 2023 — 第 28 / 28 章 · 3'04" · C1
听证会上被步步紧逼：moral scruples
听证会上，质询方一层层逼近，追问是否 in support of（支持）投弹。对方回一句 I did my job（我做了我的本职），说自己不在决策岗位；谈氢弹时又抛出一句 Our efforts would only fuel their efforts（我们的努力只会助长他们的努力）。想学怎么在盘问里稳住阵脚，这些说法很硬。
发生了什么
奥本海默在安全审查听证会上接受盘问。质询方先确认他 assisted in selecting（协助挑选）了投放原子弹的目标，点明他当时就知道会有成千上万平民死伤，又问他有没有 moral scruples（道德顾虑），还问他会不会 in support of（支持）在日本投氢弹。他答得很硬：I did my job（我做了我的本职），又说 I was not in a policy-making position at Los Alamos（我在洛斯阿拉莫斯并不处在决策岗位）。谈到军备升级，他说 Our efforts would only fuel their efforts, just as it had with the atomic bomb（我们的努力只会助长他们的努力，就像当初原子弹那样）。想学在盘问里守立场、讲清责任边界，这些表达都有分量。
这场戏看什么
- 注意成功被改成技术成功
- 盯检察官不许说 we
- 旁白把愧疚说成王冠

60 句台词里标了 38 处
协助挑选
In fact, Doctor, you assisted in selecting the target to drop the atomic bomb on Japan,反意疑问句：在陈述句里插入 did you not 这种反问尾句，表面在确认，其实在逼对方当众点头；法庭盘问常用它把话递到对方嘴边。
Well, then you knew, did you not, that by dropping that atomic bomb on the target you selected,死伤
Oh. Well, how many were killed or injured?在……当天
On the day of each bombing?在随后的几周、几年里
And in the weeks and years that followed?道德上的顾虑；良心上的不安
检察官追问奥本海默，明知有大量平民伤亡，参与其中时有没有道德上的不安。
Any moral scruples about that?scruples 末尾的 z 和 about 连读，about 又弱读得很轻，重音落在 scruples 上。
Any moral scruples about that?技术上成功
-Technically successful. -Oh!据称帮助了
And it is also alleged to have helped end the war.支持、赞成
Would you have been in support of the dropping of a hydrogen bomb on Hiroshima?完全说不通
That would make no sense at all.我当年面对的难题
This was not a problem with which I was confronted...介词加 which 引导的定语从句：介词提前到关系代词前面，构成很正式的定语从句。奥本海默用它把问题说成当年并不存在，借此回避正面回答，措辞滴水不漏。
This was not a problem with which I was confronted...拿它当面质问你
Well, I'm confronting you with it now, sir.全是他计划的一部分
It was all part of his plan.自视甚高的人
He wanted the glorious, insincere guilt of the self-important to wear like a fuckin' crown.他妈的、该死的（加强语气）——粗话，用来加重语气或发泄情绪，冒犯性很强；只在极熟的人之间或情绪失控时用，正式场合、对陌生人和长辈绝对禁止。
He wanted the glorious, insincere guilt of the self-important to wear like a fuckin' crown.陈述、提出
We set forth our arguments...认可、背书
...our arguments against dropping it, but I did not endorse them.夜以继日地干；不分昼夜地投入
盘问中，律师先指出奥本海默三年日夜赶工造出原子弹，再追问他为何又反对使用。
You mean after working night and day for three years building the bomb,night 末尾的 t 直接勾住 and 的元音，and 只余一个轻 n，听着像 nigh-tən-day。
You mean after working night and day for three years building the bomb,主张不该、反对
you then argued against the use of it?……的看法
I was asked by the Secretary of War what the views of scientists were.你这话是什么意思（要求对方解释用词）
律师断言奥本海默支持投弹，奥本海默反复追问支持一词到底指什么。
-What do you mean "support"? -Didn't you?做好本职工作
I did my job.处在决策岗位上
I was not in a policy-making position at Los Alamos.交办给我的任何事
I would have done anything I was asked to do.虚拟条件句：这是与过去事实相反的虚拟结果句，隐含的条件在前一句；律师用它把对方逼进逻辑死角——既然你什么都做，那氢弹也该造。
Well, then you would have built the H-bomb too,我没问你那个
I didn't ask you that, Doctor!参与撰写、合著
And the GAC report which you co-authored after the Soviet atomic test said不惜一切去增强
And wouldn't the Russians do anything to increase their strength?将不得不这么做
If we did it, they would have to do it.助长、给……添柴
Our efforts would only fuel their efforts, just as it had with the atomic bomb.强烈的道德信念
...when did your strong moral convictions develop with respect to the hydrogen bomb?我开始清楚地意识到
被问到道德信念何时形成时，奥本海默说是当他看清有武器就一定会被使用时。
When it became clear to me倾向于使用
that we would tend to use any weapon we had.tend 末尾的 d 在 to 前省去，to 只留轻 /tə/，舒展成 ten-tə-use。
that we would tend to use any weapon we had.看懂「听证会上被步步紧逼」
发音重点
- moral scruples about — scruples 末尾的 z 和 about 连读，about 又弱读得很轻，重音落在 scruples 上。
- night and day — night 末尾的 t 直接勾住 and 的元音，and 只余一个轻 n，听着像 nigh-tən-day。
- tend to use — tend 末尾的 d 在 to 前省去，to 只留轻 /tə/，舒展成 ten-tə-use。
I would have done anything I was asked to do.交办给我的事，我都会去做。 用条件句把责任推给命令，是服从者最彻底也最苍白的辩护。
If we did it, they would have to do it.如果我们做了，他们就不得不做。 用对称的因果句写出军备竞赛的必然性，冷静得像物理定律。
Our efforts would only fuel their efforts, just as it had with the atomic bomb.我们的努力只会给他们的努力添柴，就像原子弹当初那样。 用 fuel 把军备竞赛写成一场互相浇油的火灾，一个动词说尽没有赢家的升级。
Well, I'm confronting you with it now, sir.那我现在就拿这个问题当面问你，先生。 对方用躲闪的句式回避，就用一句正面对撞把问题砸回桌上，终结所有绕圈。
关于这一章的问题
moral scruples 是什么意思？
意思是「道德上的顾虑、良心上的不安」。戏里问他有没有 moral scruples，就是问他心里有没有过道德障碍。谈伦理抉择时常用。
「我做了我的本职」英语怎么说？
I did my job。戏里奥本海默用这句话把责任推回给岗位本身，意思是决定不是我做的，我只是照吩咐做事。
in support of 是什么意思？
意思是「支持、赞成」。戏里追问他会不会 in support of the dropping of a hydrogen bomb，就是问他会不会赞成投氢弹。
working night and day 是什么语气？
意思是「夜以继日地干」。戏里质问对方：你连着三年夜以继日地造弹，转头却反对使用它？用这个说法强调投入之大、前后矛盾。
it became clear to me 后面通常接什么？
意思是「我开始清楚地意识到」，后面接一个从句说明意识到的事。戏里说他一旦看清人手里有武器就会用，才立下反对氢弹的信念。
