当面回绝毒品生意：in your pocket
有人摊开材料，把毒品生意讲成将来。对方要现金、要保护，还要把政客当零钱。in your pocket（任其摆布）和 a dirty business（肮脏的买卖）都在，一句讲控制，一句是拒绝的理由。谈合作、守底线，这两句比空讲原则清楚。
发生了什么
家族开会先听一份材料：对方外号土耳其人，田在土耳其，厂在西西里，做的是毒品。他要现金，要有人挡警察，还答应收下的人 a piece of the action（分一杯羹）。真到了桌面上，有人要一百万现金，还要那些 in your pocket（任其摆布）的政客，掏出来像零钱。回话先客气，再把毒品叫 a dirty business（肮脏的买卖），赌博只是无伤大雅的恶习，这门不行。谈判里想说分你一份、想说人在你手里、想把脏生意点破，这三句都能直接用。

He's supposed to be very good with a knife, but only in matters of business with reasonable complaint.be supposed to：supposed to be 表示据大家所知应该是这样，带传闻或预期，并不等于说话人亲眼确认。这里介绍索洛佐的刀法，语气是听来的评价。

这一章能学到
- 用 known as 介绍圈内名号
- 用 a piece of the action 谈分成
- 用 say no 当面拒绝提案
- 用 my no is final 关闭谈判
发音重点
- known as — known 末尾的 n 直接搭上 as 的元音，常连成 know-naz，重音落在 known。
- piece of the — piece of the 里三个词几乎连成一条，of 的 v 很轻，读快了像 pie-sa-the。
- come after us — after 末尾的 ə 与 us 的元音相接，after us 常连成 aftərəs，重音落在 come 和 fter 上。
Why do you come to me? Why do I deserve this generosity?你为什么来找我？我凭什么消受这份慷慨？ 两个反问把送礼的人架在桌上：先问动机，再问资格，不动声色地拆穿慷慨背后的交换。
Signor Sollozzo, my no is final. I wish to congratulate you on your new business.索洛佐先生，我的拒绝是最终的。祝你新事业顺利。 把「不」说成终局判决，不留讨价余地。短句加正式称呼，客气里全是不可动摇。
It doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living.一个人靠什么吃饭，对我来说没什么分别。 用一句平实的判断把职业高低撇开，只看人本身，划清了评判行当与评判人的界限。

关于这一章的问题
in your pocket 是什么意思？
字面是在你口袋里。谈话里有人要那些政客，说 carry in your pocket, like nickels and dimes，意思是被某人控制，掏出来像零钱一样方便。谈权力、谈谁听谁的，就可以用。
「分一杯羹」英语怎么说？
说 a piece of the action。材料里写，他会分出一份，多少还不确定。合作分成、项目提成，想说分你一份利益，就用这句。
a dirty business 是什么意思？
肮脏的买卖，也就是见不得光的勾当。这里拿毒品和赌博对比：赌博被看成无伤大雅的恶习，毒品却是 a dirty business。觉得一门生意脏、不能沾，就可以这么说。
「我的拒绝是最终的」英语怎么说？
说 my no is final。话已经说到尊重、说到理由，最后把口封死，拒绝不再改。婉拒、谈崩、不想再被劝的时候用。
make any difference 语气重不重？
不重，是在把话说软。It doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living，意思是靠什么吃饭，有任何影响都谈不上。先把姿态放低，后面再谈这门生意有点危险，拒绝就不那么冲。
