这场戏：盛装出席庆功酒会
第 15 章 · 共 15 章 · 3'10"
莱斯利无罪开释后盛装现身酒会，宾客争相道贺。年轻律师说他对那晚的作证 get over（忘掉、不再纠结）不了，罗伯特则满口苏门答腊的新庄园，还夸妻子 a good sport（不扫兴的人）。想夸人好相处、说某件事放不下，这两句一学就会。
「连最小的细节都不放过」：down to the smallest detail
get over 忘掉、不再纠结down to the smallest detail 连最小的细节都不放过I don't mind telling you 不瞒你说
❝ 独白 · 8 句 妻子「不扫兴」，英语说她 a good sport
get used to 慢慢习惯、适应good sport 好脾气、不扫兴的人each other 有彼此
莱斯利被判无罪后，克罗斯比家设宴庆祝。她盛装出场，宾客纷纷道贺，有人喊她像刚出狱的小姑娘。年轻律师说，他 get over（忘掉、不再纠结）不了她作证时那副样子——down to the smallest detail（连最小的细节都不放过），还说自己第一桩案子就碰上这么大的阵仗。罗伯特却只顾向众人炫耀苏门答腊的新庄园，夸妻子是 a good sport（不扫兴的人），霍华德几次想拉他单独出去，都被他以「现在不行」挡回。夸人能扛事不抱怨、说某件事放不下、夸细节做到极致，都能用上这几句。
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。
“That's the important thing, isn't it?”
这才是最重要的，对吧？
在满屋客套里，一句反问把话题拉回两个人真正依靠的东西。
That's the important thing, isn't it?
想总结重点、请对方认同时用；在正式场合用会显得随意。
That's what matters, isn't it? ／ In the end, that's all that counts.
中性
important 重读，isn't it 轻轻上扬收尾。
Being together is the important thing, isn't it? 能在一起才是最重要的，对吧？
“You must be very relieved that this awful business is over.”
这桩可怕的事总算过去了，你一定松了一大口气。
客套里带一句实话，既祝贺又点破那场审判的沉重。
You must be very relieved that ...
对方刚熬过难事时用；对不熟的人这样提旧事可能触到痛处。
You must be glad that's finally over. ／ What a relief that it's behind you.
中性
must be 连读，very relieved 重读，awful business 放慢。
You must be very relieved that the audit is over. 审计总算结束，你一定松了一大口气。
“Oh, Leslie, darling, I never saw anyone like you, ever.”
哦，莱斯利，亲爱的，我从没见过像你这样的人，从来没有。
句尾再补一个 ever，把赞叹推到近乎夸张的亲密。
I never saw anyone like you, ever.
对亲近的人表达惊叹时用；对普通朋友这样说会显得过头。
I've never met anyone quite like you. ／ There's simply no one like you.
口语
never saw 连读，like you 重读，ever 轻轻带出。
I never saw anyone handle it like you, ever. 我从没见过谁像你这样处理得这么好，从来没有。
“I'll never forget the night it happened.”
我永远忘不了出事的那晚。
不说审判、不说案子，只用 the night it happened，分量全在留白里。
I'll never forget the night it happened.
回忆一件改变人生的事时用；在轻松的聚会上提起会立刻冷场。
I'll never forget that night. ／ That night is burned into my memory.
中性
never forget 重读，the night 稍顿，it happened 收轻。
I'll never forget the day we first met. 我永远忘不了我们初次见面那天。
“For me, the one house will do.”
对我来说，一栋房子就够了。
满屋人笑谈三栋房，只有这句轻轻说出她真正要的其实很少。
For me, ... will do.
表示自己要求不高、这样就够了时用；对讲究排场的人说会显得冷淡。
One house is enough for me. ／ That would suit me just fine.
中性
For me 轻起，one house 重读，will do 收稳。
For me, a simple card will do. 对我来说，一张简单的卡片就够了。
Of course, we shall miss Singapore. Ah! Our friends are here, and we've had some mighty fine times, haven't we? No English people in that part of Sumatra, only Dutch and natives. It's going to be a little lonely at first, but we'll get used to it. Yeah. There will be the two of us, but my wife's a good sport. Always can count on her. She's not afraid of anything. And we'll have each other. That's the important thing, isn't it?
当然，我们会想念新加坡的。 啊！朋友们都在这儿，我们一块儿过得多快活，是不是？ 苏门答腊那一带没有英国人，只有荷兰人和当地人。 一开始会有点孤单，不过我们会习惯的。 是啊。就我们两个人，不过我妻子是个好伴儿。总能指望得上她。 她什么都不怕。 而且我们还有彼此。 这才是最重要的，对吧？
意思是「忘掉、不再纠结」。年轻律师说 I can't get over the way you gave your evidence，他想说他一直放不下莱斯利作证时那股精确劲儿。
a good sport。戏里罗伯特夸妻子 my wife's a good sport，说她好脾气、扛得住，跟着他去苏门答腊也不会闹情绪。
是比 Do you want to 更客气的邀请。有人对莱斯利说 I say, would you care to dance?，就是很绅士地问「愿不愿意跳支舞」，正式场合、对不熟的人都合适。
意思是「连最小的细节都不放过」，形容做事、作证、写方案都行。戏里用它夸莱斯利的证词精确到每一个小地方，语气是真心佩服。
Would you excuse me, please? 戏里莱斯利就是这么说，然后从酒会中途起身离开，礼貌又不解释去向。
