借钱被老友拒绝：go into hock
迈克带着一脸伤出现，开口就向乔伊借一万五，朋友间借钱的尴尬一下摆到桌上。对方没松口，只提醒他 play within your means（量力下注，别超支），别再 go into hock（欠一屁股债）。朋友之间怎么把「不借」说得有理有据，这段里全是现成说法。
发生了什么
迈克带着伤出现，开口向乔伊借一万五，说惹上的是 KGB 那种最麻烦的人。对方先甩一句不信，接着翻旧账：之前就劝过 play within your means（量力下注，别超支），别 overextend yourself（过度透支），结果还是 go into hock（欠一屁股债）去加码。迈克承认自己搞砸了，但强调现在只想要钱；对方接过话头：that's the thing（问题就在这儿），这回没钱，给了也是白扔。一句 have the stones（有胆量，有种）还当场把气氛点着。拒绝朋友借钱时怎么先接住话头、再把能帮的和不能帮的分开，这段是现成范本。
这场戏看什么
- 留意克尼什从骂到劝的语气转弯
- 数他肯给什么、不肯给什么
- 注意迈克重复 I took a risk 的心虚
留意这几个短语

I owe rent, alimony, child support. I play for money.我欠房租、赡养费、孩子的抚养费。我打牌就是为了钱。 三样账单砸下，再用短句收束，把赌徒的浪漫全部剥掉。
But about the money, I gotta do this. I gotta say no.但钱的事，我得这么做。我得说不。 先把话题框住，再用重复的 I gotta 把拒绝钉死，软中带硬。
关于这一章的问题
go into hock 是什么意思？
就是「欠一屁股债」。原句 I tell you not to overextend yourself, to rebuild, you go into hock for more，意思是劝人别透支，结果反而借更多债去加码。
「量力下注，别超支」英语怎么说？
play within your means。原句 I tell you to play within your means, you risk your whole bankroll，意思是按自己的财力下注，别把全部本钱押上。
have the stones 是「有胆量」吗？
是。字面是「有石头」，口语里指有胆量、有种。原句 You see all the angles. You never have the stones to play one，是说你什么都看得透，却没胆真押一手。
That's the thing 在这里起什么作用？
它是「问题就在这儿」，先接住对方的请求，再把话转到真正的难处。原句 See, that's the thing. This time there is no money——先卖个关子，紧接着点明：这回没钱。
About the money 可以怎么用？
意思是「至于钱的事」，用来把话题转到钱上。原句 But about the money, I gotta do this. I gotta say no，就是先把别的帮助说完，再在钱上明确拒绝。
