这场戏：枪响后妻子反锁房门
第 1 章 · 共 15 章 · 2'51"
枪响之后，莱斯利把自己锁在屋里谁也不见，等丈夫赶回才开门。她说哈蒙德 make love to（对她动手动脚），自己才开的枪；可乔伊斯补了一句，哈蒙德被打得 riddled with bullets（浑身都是弹孔），六发子弹全打空了。想学案发后怎么讲经过、怎么形容伤情，这几个说法最实用。
He tried to make love to me（他想对我动手动脚）
make love to 向某人求欢、动手动脚nothing to be frightened about 没什么好怕的Hold me tight 抱紧我
哈蒙德中枪身亡，消息传到胶园，罗伯特立刻叫人给新加坡的律师乔伊斯打电话，让他开车到洛阿路口会合。莱斯利把自己反锁在屋里，谁也不见，直到丈夫赶回才开门，说哈蒙德 make love to her（对她动手动脚），她才开枪。乔伊斯看过尸体，说哈蒙德 riddled with bullets（被打得浑身都是弹孔），左轮六个弹巢全打空了。几个说法都好用：make love to 指向人献殷勤、动手动脚；riddled with bullets 形容身中数枪；locked herself in 是把自己反锁在屋里。想学案发后报警、讲经过、形容伤情的英文，这些说法最实用。

“He tried to make love to me, and I shot him.”
他想对我动手动脚，我就开枪打了他。
两句话交代完案情，冷静得可怕，把整场戏的重心一下压了出来。
He tried to ... and I ... him
向人坦白一件已发生的事时用，把前因后果并成一句；正式报告别这么直白。
He came at me, so I fired. ／ He wouldn't stop, and I shot him.
中性
前半句轻读铺垫，shot him 两个词重读落定。
He refused to listen, and I walked out. 他不肯听，我就走了。
“Hold me tight. I'm so frightened.”
抱紧我。我好害怕。
一句抱紧一句害怕，硬撑的坚强瞬间卸下，软弱全露了出来。
Hold me tight. I'm so ...
对最亲近的人求安慰时用；对同事或外人这样讲会显得失态。
Hold me, I can't stop shaking. ／ Keep hold of me, I'm terrified.
口语
Hold me 连读，tight 重读，后半句放慢收尾。
Hold me tight, I'm freezing. 抱紧我，我冷坏了。
“There's nothing to be frightened about.”
没什么好怕的。
最朴素的一句安慰，把恐惧轻轻按下去，是慌乱里最靠得住的话。
There's nothing to be ... about.
安慰受惊的人时用；对正在发火的人说会显得轻视对方。
There's nothing to worry about. ／ You've got nothing to fear.
中性
nothing to 连读成 no-thing-ta，about 尾音轻收。
There's nothing to be scared about; I'm right here. 没什么好怕的，我就在这儿。
“Fred, get to the village as fast as you can.”
弗雷德，你尽快赶到村里去。
as fast as you can 把命令说成一句日常可搬的催促，简短有力。
as ... as you can
催人赶紧办事时用，口气直接；对上级或客户不要这样命令。
Come as quickly as you can. ／ Get there as soon as you can.
中性
as fast as you can 一串连读，fast 重读表急。
Send the file over as fast as you can. 尽快把文件发过来。
“I had your head boy remove the body to a shed.”
我让你家的大管家把尸体搬到棚屋里去了。
have someone do 一句交代事情已经安排妥当，冷静里透着管家式的分寸。
have someone do something
说明自己安排别人办了事时用；对死者家属这样讲会太冷。
I got the servants to move it. ／ I had it taken away.
正式
had your 连读，head boy 重读，remove the body 放平。
I had the driver pick her up at noon. 我让司机中午去接她。

下一章 · 02put my back up把我惹火了这场戏：复述案发那晚经过字面是「向某人示爱」，在旧时英语里常指对人动手动脚、求欢。剧里莱斯利说 He tried to make love to me, and I shot him，就是「他想对我动手动脚，我就开枪打了他」。
riddled with bullets。剧里乔伊斯说 He was just riddled with bullets，就是「他被打得浑身都是弹孔」，riddle 本义是「打满洞」。
「装到船上、上船」。剧里 She's got to be on board by 6:00 就是「六点前必须装船」，说的是那批货得赶上船期。
locked herself in。剧里 She locked herself in, Mr. Crosbie 就是「她把自己锁在屋里了」，指莱斯利出事之后不肯见人。
as fast as you can。剧里 Fred, get to the village as fast as you can 就是「弗雷德，你尽快赶到村里去」，催人动身时最常用。
