这场戏：报警后侦探上门查案
侦探多伊尔上门，让杰夫把看到的从头讲一遍，杰夫却丢出一句 It's just a little neighborhood murder, that's all.（不过是街坊里的一桩小谋杀案而已。），噎住对方。还补刀 I figured a good detective would jump at the chance（我想着好侦探碰上案子可不会放过机会）。想学怎么用轻描淡写的话报一桩命案、又逼人接招，这段最妙。
「这种景象真让人高兴」：a welcome sight
welcome sight 让人高兴的景象do you suppose 你觉得、你以为washed away 冲掉、冲刷干净
《后窗》这段在杰夫的公寓：老朋友多伊尔是侦探，上门让他 start from the beginning（从头说起），杰夫指出二楼后间住的是拉尔斯·索沃德。多伊尔不当回事，杰夫就轻描淡写地说 It's just a little neighborhood murder, that's all.（不过是街坊里的一桩小谋杀案而已。），再激一句 I figured a good detective would jump at the chance（我想着好侦探碰上案子可不会放过机会）。多伊尔嫌今天是他 day off（休息日），可还是答应 I'll drop by（顺路过去一趟）。后来两人讨论凶手在浴缸分尸，还说那箱子得赶紧弄走。想学报案、激将和调侃的英文，这段很完整。

“It's just a little neighborhood murder, that's all.”
不过是街坊里的一桩小谋杀案，仅此而已。
把谋杀说成小事，轻描淡写的语气正是全片最冷的一句玩笑。
It's just a little ..., that's all.
用轻描淡写反衬事情严重时用；对受害者家属说会非常失礼。
Just a small local problem, nothing more. ／ Only a minor neighborhood affair.
口语
just a little 轻快带过，neighborhood murder 重读，that's all 收平。
It's just a little office scandal, that's all. 不过是办公室的一点小丑闻，仅此而已。
“You have to be here and see the whole setup.”
你得亲自过来看看整个情况。
一句把电话里说不清的事推给现场，也把观众的好奇心吊了起来。
You have to be here and see ...
请人必须到现场才能明白时用；带点卖关子，正式汇报里不合适。
You have to see it for yourself. ／ It only makes sense when you're here.
中性
have to 连读成 hafta，whole setup 重读，句尾收住。
You have to be here and see the machine work. 你得亲自来看看这台机器怎么运转。
“No wonder your husband still loves you.”
难怪你丈夫到现在还爱你。
一句玩笑把感激和夸赞揉在一起，紧张时刻忽然透出暖意。
No wonder ...
看到好事顺理成章时用；对不熟的人说私人感情会显得越界。
That's why your husband adores you. ／ No surprise he still loves you.
口语
No wonder 连读，husband still 轻读，loves you 收低。
No wonder everyone asks you for help. 难怪大家都找你帮忙。
“I figured a good detective would jump at the chance of something to detect.”
我琢磨着，好侦探碰上能查的案子，准会抢着来。
用「能查的案子」绕回同一个词，挖苦里带着激将。
a good ... would jump at the chance of ...
半开玩笑地激对方接下某事时用；朋友之间可以，正式场合不要用。
A real pro would jump at a chance like this. ／ Any good detective would leap at the chance.
口语
figured a 连读，jump at the 连读，something to detect 收在同词上。
A good chef would jump at the chance of cooking for them. 好厨师碰上给他们做饭的机会，准会抢着去。
下一章 · 08knee-deep in深陷其中这场戏：逼侦探闯公寓取证意思是「抓住机会、迫不及待地接受」。jump at 有「扑上去」的画面感，a good detective would jump at the chance 就是「好侦探碰上案子可不会放过机会」。
as a matter of fact。它常用来强调或纠正对方，Yes, as a matter of fact, I did say "murder" 就是「没错，事实上我说的就是谋杀」。
意思接近，都表示「其实、事实上」。as a matter of fact 语气稍正式一点，in fact 更口语，写作和对话里都能互换。
意思是「休息日、休班」。This happens to be my day off 就是「今天正好轮到我休息」，用来解释自己不上班。
字面是「受欢迎的景象」，意思是看到就让人高兴的东西。I can't tell you what a welcome sight this is 就是「我说不出看到它有多高兴」。
