老帕特发现书房少了一个信封，把多洛雷斯和帕特叫来盘问，说有人进了他的书房。帕特承认自己借走了信封，可老帕特不接受，强调办公室每天都有装着现金的信封 in and out（进进出出），让家人对他做的事放尊重点，别 make a joke out of（当成笑话）他的规矩。随后老帕特又问帕特是不是 proper dosage（剂量）吃错了，怀疑他药吃多了。帕特说自己很好，正在 beat the song（战胜那个心结）、感觉棒极了。老帕特则求他留下看海鹰队的比赛、陪陪家人。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“It's not funny. What's everybody making a joke out of this for?”
这不好笑。大家干吗都拿这事当笑话？
被当成笑柄的委屈一句说透，反问里全是不被当回事的恼。
It's not funny. What's everybody ... for?
正经事被拿来开玩笑时用；对长辈或同事要收着点语气。
It's not a joke. Why is everyone laughing? ／ This isn't funny to me.
口语
It's not funny 压低，What's everybody 加速，for 收尾下沉。
It's not funny. What's everybody laughing at me for? 这不好笑。大家干吗都笑我？
“Dolores. Somebody was in my study. Who took one of my envelopes?”
多洛雷斯。有人进过我的书房。谁拿走了一个信封？
先叫名字再连甩三句，层层逼问，把家里当成了案发现场。
Somebody was in ... Who took ...?
东西被动过、想追查责任时用；没证据就当面质问容易伤感情。
Someone has been in here. Who moved my things? ／ Who touched my desk without asking?
中性
三句都要短促，Who took 重读，envelopes 咬清尾音。
Somebody was in my room. Who took my charger? 有人进过我房间。谁拿了我的充电器？
“I'm beating the song. I'm on the scoreboard.”
我在战胜那首歌。我在记分板上。
把康复说成一场比赛，用运动比喻讲出了他难得的进展。
I'm beating ... I'm on the scoreboard.
讲自己正一点点好转时用；对还没走出来的人别拿来炫耀。
I'm winning this fight. ／ I'm finally ahead of it.
口语
beating 重读，scoreboard 拉长，两句之间稍停。
I'm beating the habit. I'm on the scoreboard. 我正在战胜这个习惯。我在记分板上。
“- Taking a little too many or something? - If I was taking that, I'd be on the floor.”
我要是真吃那个，早躺地上了。
用夸张的后果自证没吃药，一句玩笑把质问顶回去。
If I was ..., I'd be ...
被人怀疑、想用玩笑自证时用，轻松带刺；严肃场合别这么打岔。
If I took those, I'd be out cold. ／ Take that and I'd be on the floor.
口语
If I was 连读，on the floor 重读压低。
If I was slacking, I'd be asleep at my desk. 我要是真偷懒，早趴桌上睡着了。
“Stay. Stay for the game. Spend some family time.”
留下吧。留下来看球。陪陪家里人。
三个祈使句一个比一个软，把「陪我」说成「陪家人」。
Stay. Stay for the ... Spend some ...
挽留家人多待一会儿时用，带点恳求；催朋友办事时别说这句。
Stay for the game, just a little family time. ／ Stick around. Spend an hour with us.
口语
三个 Stay/Spend 都重读，family time 放软。
Stay. Stay for dinner. Spend a little time with us. 留下吧。留下来吃饭。陪我们一会儿。
下一章 · 14take advantage of占便宜这场戏：要陪跳舞才肯送信意思是「把某事当成笑话、当儿戏」。老帕特发现信封少了，全家却笑嘻嘻，他就问大家干吗都拿这事开玩笑。
up to，常用 What are you up to？多洛雷斯问帕特在忙什么，就问 What are you up to。
beat the song。戏里帕特的婚礼歌曲就是他的心病，他说 I'm beating the song，就是我在战胜它。
因为信封是他赌球生意的一部分，里面装着现金。办公室每天有信封进进出出，他觉得有人进书房动他的东西就是越界。
不是，这里是指人特别兴奋、亢奋。老帕特看帕特太兴奋，还怀疑他药量吃错了。
