这场戏：追问医生从哪里下刀
第 16 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'38"
凯瑟琳冲回病房，抓着医生追问 Where will you cut, doctor?（医生，你要从哪里下刀？），又伤心地问 Or further back? I suppose I'm to have my head shaved（还是再靠后一点？我猜头发得剃光吧）。她一遍遍说 I am not（我没疯），还点破 Insane is such a meaningless word（「疯」这个词根本没什么意义）。想学绝望中的追问和反话，这段最揪心。
❝ 独白 · 7 句 believe me（相信我）
have my head shaved 让别人把头剃了such a waste 白费了、太可惜believe me 相信我
poor doctor（可怜的医生（实为挖苦））
poor doctor 可怜的医生（实为挖苦）bother you 打扰到、烦到某人take off 脱掉衣物seems to me 在我看来、我觉得
《夏日痴魂》这段在狮景的病房：凯瑟琳刚从办公室跑出来，情绪还没平复，就抓着医生追问 Where will you cut my brain, doctor?（医生，你要从我脑子的哪里下刀？），又问 Or further back? I suppose I'm to have my head shaved（还是再靠后一点？我猜头发得剃光吧），心疼她今早刚做好的头发。医生说不确定会不会动刀，她一遍遍强调 You've got to believe me, doctor. I am not（你一定要相信我，我没疯），还点破 Insane is such a meaningless word（「疯」这个词根本没什么意义），而 lobotomy has a precise meaning（脑白质切除术的意思却很清楚）。想学绝望、追问和反话的英文，这段最揪心。
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。
“Insane is such a meaningless word.”
「疯」这个词根本没什么意义。
把强加给她的名目说成一个空词，一句话拆掉了逼她认罪的底座。
X is such a meaningless word
替被贴标签的人说话时用；正式文书里别用，会显得太情绪化。
That label means nothing at all. ／ Such a word tells us nothing.
literary
Insane 重读，such a 连读，句尾 word 降调收住。
Lazy is such a meaningless word for what she is going through. 用「懒」这个词形容她正在经历的事，根本没什么意义。
“But lobotomy has a precise meaning, hasn't it?”
可脑白质切除术的意思却很明确，不是吗？
用反问问回去，把「疯」和一刀切脑摆上天平，轻重立见。
X has a precise meaning, hasn't it?
在争论里用反问逼对方表态；对上级或客人别这么锋利。
That term means something exact, doesn't it? ／ The word is precise, isn't it?
中性
precise 重读，hasn't it 轻快上扬，留一丝冷意。
But deadline has a precise meaning, hasn't it? 可「截止日期」这个词意思很明确，不是吗？
“I want to trust you.”
我想相信你。
把信任说成一件还做不到的事，比任何哀求都更让人心软。
I want to + 动词原形
向人交底、承认自己还做不到时用；正式报告里不宜这样示弱。
I wish I could trust you. ／ I'd like to be able to trust you.
中性
want to 连读成 wanna，trust 重读，you 轻收。
I want to trust you again, but it takes time. 我想重新相信你，可这需要时间。
“- I'm not at all sure that I will. - Where will you cut my brain, doctor?”
医生，你要在我脑子哪里下刀？
一个天真又直接的提问，让手术的恐怖不加修饰地摊在眼前。
Where will you cut, doctor?
用近乎天真的方式追问一个可怕的问题时用；医生或正式沟通里别这么问，会加剧对方不安。
Where exactly are you going to cut? ／ Which part of my brain will you cut into?
中性
Where will you 连读，cut my brain 一顿，doctor 降调收尾。
Where exactly will you cut, doctor? 医生，你到底要在哪儿下刀？
Where will you cut, doctor? - I'm not at all sure that I will. - Where will you cut my brain, doctor? In front? Or further back? I suppose I'm to have my head shaved. It seems such a waste, seeing as how I had my hair fixed this morning... ...then to have it all cut off right after it. I tell you, it's funny.
医生，你要从哪里下刀？ ——我还没拿定主意要不要动刀。——医生，你要从我脑子的哪里下刀？ 前面吗？ 还是再靠后一点？我猜我这头发得剃光吧。 真是太可惜了，我今天早上才刚做过头发…… ……结果转眼就要全剃掉。 我跟你说，真好笑。
下一章 · 17on the menu被当菜挑这场戏：谈塞巴斯蒂安拿人当菜意思是「突然一下子、毫无预兆地」，比 suddenly 更口语。台词 All of a sudden my poor baby flew out of the room 就是「我可怜的宝贝突然冲出房间」。
believe me，也可以说 trust me。台词 You've got to believe me, doctor 就是「医生，你一定要相信我」，语气很急切。
指「脑白质切除术」，旧时用来治疗严重精神疾病的脑部手术。台词说 lobotomy has a precise meaning，就是「脑白质切除术的意思很明确」，跟含混的 insane 正好相反。
poor 通常表示「可怜的」，可在这里凯瑟琳是挖苦：她觉得被追问得心烦的是医生，于是用「可怜的医生」反过来刺他一句。
意思是「应该做的正确选择」。台词 I'm sure it's the right thing, what you and Violet are doing 就是「我相信你和维奥莱特做的是对的」，多用来说服自己或别人。
