这场戏：回老片厂求复出
第 14 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'34"
诺玛重回派拉蒙，以为能复出，兴奋地问 We'll be working again, won't we（我们又要开工了，对不对），德米尔却先打预防针：pictures have changed quite a bit（电影变了不少）。她只回一句 I just want to work again（我只想再拍戏）。想听懂委婉的拒绝、学会谈工作时留余地，这几句最有用。
把剧本送人：It's all yours（全归你了）
used to be 以前是、过去曾经是covered with 铺满、盖着look it over 过目、查看一下all yours 全归你了
诺玛带着乔回到派拉蒙，以为自己的复出就在眼前，还问德米尔有没有看见影迷。德米尔却告诉她，电影这些年 pictures have changed quite a bit（变了不少），她的剧本拍起来会是一部 very expensive（非常花钱）的片子。诺玛说 I don't care about the money（钱我不在乎），只求再拍一次戏。德米尔礼貌地回 nothing would please me more（再没有比这更让我高兴的），却始终没有答应。马克斯带乔看当年的化妆间，物是人非。想学怎么约谈、怎么婉拒、怎么念旧，几句全用得上。

“I hope you haven't lost your sense of humor.”
希望你的幽默感还在。
坏消息还没出口，先递一句预防针，客气里全是心虚。
I hope you haven't lost your ...
要说不中听的话之前先用；对客户、长辈先说这句能留台阶。
I hope you can still take a joke. ／ Don't shoot the messenger, okay?
中性
I hope you 轻带，haven't lost 连读，humor 落下重音。
I hope you haven't lost your sense of humor about deadlines. 希望你对交期这事儿还能笑得出来。
“We'll be working again, won't we, Chief? We'll make our greatest picture!”
我们又要开工了，对不对，老板？我们要拍最了不起的片子！
一句反问加一句豪言，把没影的事说成板上钉钉，越欢越心酸。
We'll be ..., won't we? We'll ...!
满怀期待地确认计划时用；对已知情的人反复说会显得天真。
We're doing this together, aren't we? We'll top everything! ／ Say yes, Chief. We'll make it bigger than ever!
口语
won't we 上扬，Chief 短促，greatest 加重。
We'll be back next season, won't we? We'll take the title! 下个赛季我们会回来的，对吧？冠军是我们的！
“Oh, I don't care about the money. I just want to work again.”
哦，钱我不在乎。我只想再拍戏。
一句撇开钱，把欲望缩到最小也最真，听的人反而更难受。
I don't care about the money. I just want to ...
表明要的是机会不是报酬时用；谈薪酬时这么说会吃亏。
Money is not the point. I just want to work. ／ Forget the money; give me the job.
口语
don't care about 连读，just want to 弱读，work again 放慢。
I don't care about the money. I just want to learn from this team. 我不在乎钱，我只想跟这个团队学到东西。
“You don't know what it means to know that you want me.”
你不知道，知道你想要我，这对我意味着什么。
把被需要说成全部意义，一句掏心窝的话，听者却无法回应。
You don't know what it means to ...
对懂自己的人说心里话时用；在职场或客套场合说太重。
You have no idea how much this means to me. ／ You can't imagine what it's like to be wanted.
中性
what it means 连读，to know that 轻带，want me 略拖。
You don't know what it means to be trusted like this. 你不知道被人这样信任，对我意味着什么。
“You know, pictures have changed quite a bit.”
你知道，电影这些年的变化可不小。
用说变化代替说不，一句轻描淡写把整整一个时代关在门外。
You know, ... have changed quite a bit.
委婉地告诉大家情况不同了时用；对当事人说等于宣布出局。
The business isn't what it was. ／ Things have moved on a lot since then.
中性
You know 轻起，quite a bit 收得平，别上扬。
You know, publishing has changed quite a bit since your day. 你知道，出版业从你那时候到现在变了不少。
“Just so you don't think I'm a complete swine, if there's anything in Dark Windows you can use, take it. It's all yours.”
省得你觉得我是个十足的无赖，要是《暗窗》里有你能用的东西，就拿去，全是你的。
把送掉心血说成洗白自己，自嘲底下是一份说不出口的成全。
Just so you don't think I'm ..., ... take it. It's all yours.
把东西送人又不想显得施舍时用；对很重要的人别用这种玩笑口吻。
So I don't look like a total jerk, take the notes. ／ Don't think I'm stingy; it's all yours.
口语
complete swine 咬清，It's all yours 放慢收尾。
Just so you don't think I'm hoarding it, take the draft. It's all yours. 省得你以为我藏着掖着，草稿拿去，全给你。
下一章 · 15sell like hotcakes卖得火爆这场戏：和贝蒂偷偷合写剧本意思是「再没有比这更让我高兴的了」。台词里德米尔说 Nothing would please me more，是礼貌地接话，却把后面的话咽了回去，等于婉拒。
pictures have changed。台词里 You know, pictures have changed quite a bit，就是「电影这些年的变化可不小」，等于在暗示她的戏路已经过时。
意思是「在乎、在意」。诺玛说 I don't care about the money，就是「钱我不在乎」，用不在乎钱来突出她只想拍戏。
是，意思是「猪猡、下流坯」。乔说 Just so you don't think I'm a complete swine，是自嘲式的粗话，朋友之间说不会真翻脸。
意思是「幽默感」。德米尔说 I hope you haven't lost your sense of humor，是在坏消息前打圆场，提醒对方别当真生气。
