这场戏：求人接手节目六周
第 3 章 · 共 21 章 · 2'28"
鲁伯特在楼下自导自演一场午饭戏：杰里求他 take over（接手、代管）节目六周，他一边推辞一边享受，最后松口答应。妈妈在楼上喊「你在跟谁说话」，把他拉回现实。想学怎么推掉又不想撕破脸，work it out（想出办法解决）和 not that big a deal（没什么大不了）都值得记。

鲁伯特一个人在楼下排练和杰里吃午饭的场景，还认真给想象中的粉丝多洛雷斯签了名。戏里杰里求他 take over（接手、代管）节目六周。他嘴上说自己忙、说自己累，一句 I can't even take over my own life for six weeks（我连自己的生活都管不了六周）把拒绝说得又心酸又好笑。台词里还有 What are friends for（朋友就该互相帮）和 not that big a deal（没什么大不了）这样的客套话和轻描淡写。妈妈的喊声打断了他，一句「你在跟谁说话」戳破了这场独角戏。想学怎么推辞、拖延、勉强松口，day and night（日日夜夜）、work it out（想出办法解决）这些现成说法拿来就能用。
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。
“I can't even take over my own life for six weeks.”
我连自己的生活都管不了六周。
用一句自嘲把拒绝说得又狠又可怜，谁也不忍再逼他。
I can't even ... for six weeks.
要推掉重担又不想伤人时用，对上司熟人皆可，别用来敷衍正事。
I can barely manage my own week. ／ Taking on more is beyond me right now.
口语
can't even 连读，own life 重读，句尾压低收。
I can't even finish my own work by Friday. 我连自己的活儿都赶不到周五做完。
“What are friends for, Jerry?”
朋友是干嘛的，杰里？
一句反问就把帮忙说成天经地义，客气里带着不容拒绝。
What are friends for?
朋友帮了忙、你要还人情时用，轻松场合说，正事里别拿来搪塞。
That is what friends are for. ／ What else are friends for?
口语
friends 和 for 连读，句尾 for 上扬，带点调侃。
You helped me move, and what are friends for? 你帮我搬了家，朋友不就是干这个的嘛。
“There's gotta be a way you can work it out. It's just six weeks.”
总会有办法解决的。不过是六周而已。
先给希望再压价，把一件难事说成不值一提，劝人最狠的套路。
There's gotta be a way you can work it out.
劝人接下一件难事时用，对伙伴下属都行，别拿它逼人做违规的事。
We can find a way to sort this out. ／ There must be some way around it.
口语
gotta be a 连读，work it out 一气呵成，句尾放平。
There's gotta be a way you can work it out with the team. 总会有办法的，你和团队商量着来。
“It's impossible! I'm trying to tell you that. You want the tears to come out of my eyes?”
这不可能！我就是在跟你说这个。你还想让我哭出来给你看？
连吼三句层层加码，最后一句把崩溃说成反问，压力大得人无处可躲。
You want the tears to come out of my eyes?
被人逼到极限时用，亲近或平级之间宣泄可以，对客户、上级别这样失控。
Do you want me to break down right here? ／ You want to see me cry?
口语
It's impossible 重读，最后一句升调顶上去。
You want the tears to come out of my eyes? Then keep pushing. 你是想看我掉眼泪？那就接着逼吧。
下一章 · 04didn't have the nerve没胆量开口这场戏：酒吧重逢旧日暗恋意思是「接手、代管」，把别人的活儿接过来负责。原句 take over the show for six weeks，就是接手主持节目六周，工作上临时替班也能用。
说 work it out。原句 There's gotta be a way you can work it out，就是「总会有办法解决的」，遇到难题时劝人别放弃很常用。
说 not that big a deal。原句 It's not that big a deal to think，意思是「想一想又没什么大不了」，安慰别人别把事想得太重。
字面是「朋友是用来干嘛的」，实际是「朋友就该互相帮」。说 What are friends for? 时通常半开玩笑，帮了忙或要人帮忙都能用。
说 day and night。原句 That's all I do, is think day and night，就是「我日日夜夜除了想还是想」，用来强调一件事一直挂在心上。
