这场戏：为恶习的定义斗嘴
第 10 章 · 共 15 章 · 2'38"
乔治勋爵看着赛马直播，说自己 My only vice（自称只此一个爱好），对方立刻拆台：你可不是只此一个，你是 eyebrows deep in every vice known to man（深陷人类已知的每一种恶习）。一个装无辜，一个当场戳破。想学怎么优雅地拆穿别人的场面话，这几句很带劲。
❝ 独白 · 10 句 「最中意的那一口」英语说 vice of choice

「我的货不杀人」：my jam, it doesn't kill anyone
addicted to 对……上瘾deal in 做……的买卖、经营my jam （俚）我的货；也指心头好a destroyer of worlds 毁灭世界的祸根
乔治勋爵看着香港赛马的卫星直播，被问起时笑说 My only vice（自称只此一个爱好）。对方不客气地纠正：这话可不太站得住脚，你是 eyebrows deep in every vice known to man（深陷人类已知的每一种恶习）。勋爵辩解自己只是 facilitate（从中经手、提供便利），并不 participate in（参与）那些恶习。对方则说自己特意 deal in（经营）大麻，因为 my jam, it doesn't kill anyone（我的货不杀人），而你的白粉、海洛因才是 a destroyer of worlds（毁灭世界的祸根）。一句话，把「经手」说成「参与」。my only vice 是自嘲只此一个爱好；eyebrows deep in something 形容深陷其中；a destroyer of worlds 指毁灭世界的祸根。
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。
“but you see, my jam, it doesn't kill anyone.”
可你看，我的货不杀人。
不谈钱不谈法，只拿「死不死人」当标准，一句就把对手的立场逼到墙角。
you see, my ... doesn't kill anyone
替自己的行当辩护时用；对受害方说这句话会激怒对方。
What I sell doesn't kill people. ／ At least my product isn't lethal.
口语
you see 轻读，doesn't kill 连读，anyone 收尾放平。
You see, my trade doesn't kill anyone; it just wastes their time. 你看，我这行不杀人，顶多浪费人时间。
“So yes, your facilitation is most definitely participation.”
所以说白了，你那种经手，就是实打实的参与。
用同样的词根对打回去，most definitely 一压，辩论的胜负就定了。
your X is most definitely Y
下结论、反驳对方狡辩时用；对长辈或客户语气会显得太冲。
That's not facilitation; that's participation. ／ Enabling it is the same as doing it.
正式
facilitation 与 participation 押韵，重音都在倒数第二音节。
Your silence is most definitely a choice. 你的沉默，绝对就是一种选择。
“While your poison is, and always has been, a destroyer of worlds.”
而你那玩意儿，从来都是毁灭世界的祸根。
用「毁灭世界」这种大词盖过对方的小算盘，气场立刻压倒。
your ... is and always has been a destroyer of worlds
把对方的东西说成祸害时用；日常争执用会显得夸张。
What you sell ruins lives, and always has. ／ Your product has only ever destroyed.
literary
is and always 连读，destroyer of worlds 逐词加重。
That app is and always has been a destroyer of worlds for young users. 那个应用对年轻用户来说，从来都是个毁人的东西。
“Sweet Mary Jane is my vice of choice, as you well know.”
大麻是我选定的恶习，这你也清楚。
用敬称给大麻封圣，把贩毒说成个人癖好，优雅里藏着傲慢。
Sweet Mary Jane is my vice of choice.
半开玩笑地承认自己的嗜好时用；正式场合别用，容易惹麻烦。
Coffee is my vice of choice. ／ It's my one and only vice.
口语
Sweet Mary Jane 平稳，vice of choice 连读，as you well know 放低。
Late-night noodles are my vice of choice. 深夜的面条是我选定的恶习。
Sweet Mary Jane is my vice of choice, as you well know. Of course. I'm addicted to selling it, not consuming it. I specifically chose to deal in marijuana. Sure, I could see there was more to be made. in shifting the white or the brown powder, as you so chose. but you see, my jam, it doesn't kill anyone. and I like that. While your poison is, and always has been, a destroyer of worlds. So yes, your facilitation is most definitely participation. But I'm not here to give you a sermon on situational ethics.
我偏爱的恶习是大麻，这你最清楚。 当然，我上瘾的是卖它，不是吸它。 我是特意选择做大麻生意的。 我当然看得出，做别的能赚得更多， 倒卖白粉或棕粉，就像你选择做的那样。 可你看，我的货不杀人。 我喜欢这一点。 而你那玩意儿，从来都是毁灭世界的祸根。 所以说白了，你那种经手，就是实打实的参与。 不过我不是来给你讲情境伦理的大道理的。
下一章 · 11under the weather身体不太舒服这场戏：茶里下毒警告对方字面是「眉毛都陷进去了」，形容深陷某事、陷得极深。原句说 you're eyebrows deep in every vice，就是「你什么恶习都陷得很深」。
说 facilitate，指自己不亲自做，而是提供通道、促成事情。原句 I facilitate. I don't participate，就是「我只是经手，并不参与」。
不一样。deal in 是经营、做某一类商品的买卖，比如 deal in marijuana；deal with 是处理、应对某件事或某个人。
指毁灭世界的祸根，形容某样东西危害极大。原句把你的毒品说成 a destroyer of worlds，其实是重话，骂得一点不留情。
指就某个话题长篇说教一通，带点不耐烦。原句我不是来给你 a sermon on situational ethics，就是「我不是来讲情境伦理大道理的」。
