这场戏：豪宅里向贝蒂摊牌
第 18 章 · 共 19 章 · 3'29"
乔带贝蒂参观诺玛的豪宅，看下沉浴缸、保龄球道，却冷冷介绍 a good deal（一笔划算的买卖）：有钱老女人配落魄年轻男人。贝蒂一听就懂，他说的就是自己。想学会怎么坦白难堪的事、怎么听懂话里的暗示，这几句最值得学。

贝蒂来到诺玛的大宅找乔，乔带她四处看：天花板的木头从葡萄牙运来，还有她自己的电影院。乔说这里是 an enormous place（大得吓人），又用一句 well-to-do（家境富裕的）形容诺玛，讲起这套 setup：有钱老女人和落魄年轻人。贝蒂越听越明白，红了眼说 I can't look at you anymore（我再也看不下去你了）。想学怎么带人参观、怎么含蓄地说出难堪真相，这几句全是活例子。

一个夸张的词 palazzos，就把豪宅的浮华和主人的心虚一起点破。

带人参观一个夸张地方时用；对第一次见面的人别这么调侃。

口语
Ever been 连读，Hollywood 拖长，palazzos 尾音上挑

“If you don't remember the face, you must have heard the name.”

不说她是谁，只把「你一定认识」摆到台面上，悬念全在名字里。
If you don't remember the face, you must have heard the name.
介绍一位大名鼎鼎的人时用；对不认识的人说会显得居高临下。
You may not know the face, but you know the name. ／ Even if the face is gone, the name still rings.
中性

“Look, sweetie, be practical. I've got a good deal here.”

一句「现实点」既在劝人，也在替自己开脱，软话里全是算计。
Look, ..., be practical. I've got a good deal here.
婉拒别人替你操心的建议时可用；对亲近的人这样说会显得冷。

Look, be practical. We can't afford that trip this year. 听我说，现实点，今年我们负担不起那趟旅行。
“A long-term contract with no options. I like it that way.”

把感情说成合同条款，再用「我喜欢」收尾，麻木得让人心凉。
A long-term contract with no options. I like it that way.
自嘲地讲一份离不开的安稳时用；真觉得被困住时别硬说喜欢。

A permanent job with no surprises. I like it that way. 一份没有意外的工作。我就喜欢这样。

我再也看不下去你了，乔。
不是骂，不是哭，只是一句看不下去——失望到了尽头才这么平静。

对一个人彻底失望、又不想吵时用；气头上说出口很难收回。
I can't stand the sight of you now. ／ I don't even want to see you.
中性
can't look at 连读，anymore 稍拖，Joe 压低收尾
After what he did, I can't look at him anymore. 出了那件事之后，我再也看不下去他了。
下一章 · 19have the heart to忍心做某事这场戏：摊牌后不放他走意思是「一笔划算的买卖」。台词里 I've got a good deal here，就是「我在这儿过得很好、很划算」，乔用来说自己被包养的生活，带点自嘲。
well-to-do。台词里 An older woman who is well-to-do，就是「一个有钱的老女人」，比 rich 更书面一点。
意思是「弄明白、想通」。乔问 Can you figure it out yourself，就是「你自己能想明白吗」，在追问贝蒂有没有听懂他的暗示。
意思是「那当然、一定」。台词里 This is where you live? 后面回一句 You bet，就是爽快地承认「那当然」，很口语、很随便。
long-term contract。台词里 A long-term contract with no options，就是「一份没有选择权的长期合同」，乔拿它形容自己赖在这儿不走的理由。
