这场戏：借火打死人再要酒喝
第 14 章 · 共 20 章 · 2'56"
乔被绑着审问，却慢悠悠地借烟借火，趁人凑近时一招把人打死，还留下一句 I seem to have dropped my cigarette（我好像把烟掉了）。等大佬露面自报是坏人，乔不慌，说该发抖等会儿再抖。想学怎么在枪口下用冷幽默压场子，这段很经典。
「我好像把烟掉了」：dropped my cigarette
got a cigarette 有烟吗got a light 有火吗dropped my cigarette 把烟掉了touch me again 再碰我一下
乔被迈洛的人绑在椅子上，对方一边警告要提防他，一边揍他。乔不急着挣扎，反而慢悠悠地开口借烟，点着后又假装把烟掉了、要再借一根，趁对方靠近时出手，一下把人打死。屋里的人震惊，他淡淡说：我需要借个火。随后迈洛登场，不但没生气，还夸他没让自己失望；乔反过来说，你要是想让我死早就动手了。两人你来我往，迈洛承认自己是那个坏人，乔则说等会儿再抖，in the meantime（与此同时）先来杯酒。

“Hey, baby. I thought you were tough.”
嘿，宝贝。我还以为你挺硬的。
用最亲昵的称呼说最轻蔑的话，嘲讽全在 baby 和 tough 的落差里。
I thought you were ...
熟人之间笑对方怂了时用，半开玩笑；正式场合会显得挑衅。
I thought you were tougher than that. ／ And I figured you were the tough one.
口语
baby 拖长，thought 缩短，tough 重读。
I thought you were brave, but you ran. 我还以为你挺勇敢，结果你跑了。
“I seem to have dropped my cigarette.”
我好像把烟掉了。
把挑衅说成一句客套，越客气越让人心里发毛。
I seem to have ...
想装无辜地提出要求时用，语气客气；真道歉时别这样打太极。
I appear to have dropped it. ／ Looks like I dropped my cigarette.
中性
seem to have 连读，dropped 轻带，句尾放平。
I seem to have lost my pen; could I borrow yours? 我好像把笔弄丢了，能借你的用下吗？
“If you touch me again, I'll kill you.”
你再碰我一下，我就杀了你。
条件句当倒计时用，一个字都不多，杀气反而更足。
If you ..., I'll ...
被人一再冒犯、划最后底线时用，语气冷静；气话也别说给外人听。
Touch me one more time and you're done. ／ Do that again and I won't hold back.
口语
touch me again 连读，kill 重读，整句压低。
If you lie to me again, I'll walk out. 你再骗我一次，我就走人。
“If you wanted me dead, you'd have killed me already.”
你要是想让我死，早就动手了。
用虚拟条件反将一军，把对方的杀意当逻辑题拆穿。
If you wanted ..., you'd have ... already.
用假设反推对方真实意图时用，谈判和辩论里都管用。
If killing me were the plan, I'd be dead. ／ You'd have done it by now if you meant it.
正式
wanted 后停顿，you'd have 连读，already 收尾下压。
If you wanted to fire me, you'd have done it already. 你要想开除我，早就开了。
“And I'm supposed to be trembling with fear?”
那我是不是该吓得发抖？
把对方的威压包装成一个反问，等于当面说这套吓不着我。
And I'm supposed to ...?
被人虚张声势时用来拆台，带讽刺；对长辈或客户别这么冲。
Am I supposed to be scared now? ／ Is this the part where I panic?
口语
supposed to 连读成 sposta，fear 尾音上扬。
And I'm supposed to be impressed by that? 这就想让我佩服你？
“I'll start trembling in a minute. In the meantime, think I could have a drink?”
我过一会儿再抖。趁这空当，我能来杯酒吗？
把害怕排进日程，再顺势要酒喝，嚣张得让人无法反驳。
I'll ... in a minute. In the meantime, ...
想用玩笑顶回压力、再提自己要求时用，熟人之间；正式场合别学。
I'll panic later; meanwhile, pour me something. ／ Give me a second to be scared, and a drink now.
口语
in a minute 轻快带过，In the meantime 稍停顿再放慢。
I'll worry later. In the meantime, let's eat. 我回头再愁。趁这工夫，先吃饭。
“Fuck you. Fuck that. Look at him. He's nothing. Guy's a piece of shit.”
去你妈的。去他妈的。看看他。他什么都不是。就是个垃圾。
五个短句连珠炮，气势拉满却句句露怯，越凶越显得心虚。
Look at him. He's nothing.
要在众人面前贬低一个人时用，攻击性极强；任何正式场合都不能用。
Look at him; he's a nobody. ／ That guy is worth nothing.
口语
每句短促断开，nothing 和 piece of shit 都重读。
Look at him. He's nothing without his friends. 看看他，没了那帮朋友他什么都不是。
下一章 · 15for the cheap seats说给后排听这场戏：审讯室硬刚与赌球阴谋意思是「与此同时、在这期间」，指等某件事发生之前先做另一件事。片里乔说等会儿再抖，in the meantime 先来杯酒，就是把两件事并在一起说。
意思是「两发两中、两次都成」，源自比赛或射击的计分。说 someone is two for two，就是夸他连续两次都成功。
意思是「提防、当心某人或某物」。watch out for someone 就是提醒要小心那个人，常用在警示和叮嘱里。
trembling with fear。tremble 是发抖，with fear 表示因为恐惧，合起来就是「吓得发抖」，也可以说 shaking with fear。
意思是「给某人弄杯酒」，fix 在这里不是「修理」，而是口语里「准备、调制」的意思，做饮料、做杯咖啡都能用。
