挺过来、活下来
汤姆转告迈克，母亲在医院陪着父亲，看样子老人能挺过这一关。

医院传话点名仇家：sleeps with the fishes
父亲还在医院，有人说他能 pull through（挺过来）。也有人解释 sleeps with the fishes（被沉尸），人已经没了。一边是还能不能活，一边是人已经不在。家里出事，听懂这两句，才知道该报平安还是报丧。
发生了什么
父亲在医院，有人带话说他看起来能 pull through（挺过来），病人危险时就用这句问还能不能活下来。另有一句把死亡说成 sleeps with the fishes（被沉尸），卢卡已经不在了，字面是睡觉，其实是人没了。有人点名索洛佐、菲利普和布鲁诺，用 bad blood（积怨）形容放很久的敌意，家人同事结仇都能套。有人问是不是要把那些人全杀掉，回答只有 stay out of it（别掺和），想拦住别人插手时，语气就这么硬。家里或团队撕破脸，听懂这四句，就知道谁还活着、谁不能碰。

If Luca sold out, we're in a lot of trouble.麻烦大了
If Luca sold out, we're in a lot of trouble.if 条件句：If Luca sold out 用一般过去时表示对既成事实的假设：万一卢卡已经叛变。主句 we're in a lot of trouble 给出后果，前后用现在时态呼应，语气是紧急的推测。
If Luca sold out, we're in a lot of trouble.和某人有联系
-Has anyone been in touch with Luca? -We've been trying all night.帮我个忙
-Hey, do me a favor... -Luca never sleeps over with a broad.在外面过夜
-Hey, do me a favor... -Luca never sleeps over with a broad.do me a favor 里 me 和 a 连读，a 很轻，整串读快了像 do-me-a-favor。
-Hey, do me a favor... -Luca never sleeps over with a broad.女人（带贬义的称呼）——老派黑帮片里对女性的蔑称，把女人当成一类物件。今天用会明显冒犯人，正式场合和当着当事人说都绝对不行。

-Easy to say. He's not your father. -I'm as much a son as you or Mike.as much as 同级比较：as much a son as you or Mike 用 as much as 表示程度相同，等于说自己跟对方一样是儿子。as 之间放的是被比较的成分，整体语气比直接说一句平淡的同义句更有力。

-Paulie, I told you to stay put. -The guy at the gates has a package.出一身汗就好了

这一章能学到
- 用 pull through 留一层不确定
- 用 stay out of it 把人挡在门外
- 用 sold out 听出内鬼不是售罄
- 用清单第一项把报复先排期
发音重点
- get rid of — get rid of 里 get 的 t 夹在两个元音之间变成闪音，读起来像 ge-rid-of，三个词几乎连成一串。
- do me a favor — do me a favor 里 me 和 a 连读，a 很轻，整串读快了像 do-me-a-favor。
- sleeps with the fishes — sleeps with the fishes 里 sleeps 末尾的 s 滑进 with，the 很轻，三个词连成一条。
It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.意思是卢卡·布拉西去喂鱼了。 用一句温和的暗语说出最狠的消息：人已经死了。平静措辞与残酷内容的落差，成了黑帮话语的范本。
-Easy to say. He's not your father. -I'm as much a son as you or Mike.我跟你、跟迈克尔一样，都是儿子。 一句平等的宣告，把血缘之外的忠诚也算成儿子，争的不是感情而是位置与责任。
Take care of that son-of-a-bitch. Paulie sold out the old man.把那个王八蛋收拾了。保利把老头子出卖了。 先下处决令，再补一句理由，中间没有过渡，写出黑帮世界的判决方式：结论先行，原因随后。
If you get rid of Sollozzo, everything falls into line.只要除掉索洛佐，其他的都会归位。 一句话把复杂乱局收成一个关键：抓住枢纽，其余自解，教人分清主次。
关于这一章的问题
sleeps with the fishes 是什么意思？
字面像跟鱼睡在一起，这里是黑话：人被沉尸，已经死了。有人拿这句说明卢卡的下场。听到时别往睡觉上想。
「积怨」英语怎么说？
说 bad blood。不是吵一句就完的火气，是放很久的敌意。点名索洛佐、菲利普、布鲁诺时，旁边就是 a lot of bad blood。家人、同事结仇都能用。
pull through 用在什么时候？
人受伤或病重，问还能不能挺过来、活下来。这里说父亲在医院，看起来能挺过来。朋友手术之后，也可以问 Will he pull through。
stay out of it 语气硬吗？
硬。就是把人推到门外：别掺和，也别插手。有人刚问是不是要把那些人全杀掉，得到的就是这句。想拦住朋友卷进别人的仇，可以直接用。
sold out 这里是卖光了吗？
不是卖光，是叛变、出卖。原句里保利把老头子卖了：Paulie sold out the old man。朋友倒向对面，或把你的事捅出去，就可以用 sold out。
