众人争论耶稣往事：have something in mind
有人把佛陀、罗马和耶稣串成一段亲历故事，听的人越听越不对：这是不是在说他自己就是基督？值得学的是 have something in mind（心里原本打算或期待某事），一句 It's not what I had in mind（这不是我想要的）就能说计划落空。约人、提方案时想委婉否定，这两句都能用。
发生了什么
谈话中，有人把佛陀、罗马帝国和耶稣串成一段亲历式叙述：先说这人见了佛陀，回到地中海，又进入罗马帝国，觉得罗马成了一台巨型杀人机器；再说他到近东，想把佛陀的教导用现代形式传下去；最后把复活解释成一次悄悄离开。听的人不断追问、反驳，有人说这是亵渎，也有人抓住“基督”这个名号不放。表达上，pass something on 是「把学问、信念或消息传给后人」；pin something on someone 是「把身份、罪名或故事硬扣在某人身上」；have something in mind 是「心里原本打算或期待某事」，一句 It's not what I had in mind 就能说期待落空。这些说法在聊历史、信仰和误会时都能直接拿来用。
这场戏看什么
- 看约翰怎样用短句截断追问
- 对比伊迪丝护信仰与他的冷幽默
- 留意宗教词落进日常语气的落差
留意这几个短语

慢慢渗入、蔓延到
Seeped into the Roman empire.把学问、信念或消息传给后人
台词用 pass something on 来概括这段漫长旅程：把佛陀的教诲带到近东，再换成现代形式传下去。语气像讲轶事，不煽情，也没有停下来解释。

He also learned to slow his body processes down to the point where they were undetectable.程度状语从句：to the point where 引出‘到了……程度’，where 后接完整从句说明结果。
He also learned to slow his body processes down to the point where they were undetectable.省略方式从句：as 引出‘照他训练的方式恢复’，to 后省略 normalize，不是比较。

发音重点
- as far as possible — 重音落在 far 和 possible，两个 as 轻快带过
- I'd say — I'd 的 d 很轻，say 顺着带过，别逐字断开
- what I had — 快说时 what I 黏在一起，had 的 d 轻轻带过
Thus, I was resurrected, and I ascended to central Europe to get away as far as possible.于是我就‘复活’了，又‘升天’到中欧，只为躲得越远越好。 神圣词汇接上逃亡计划，庄重腔一秒变成冷幽默。

It's been said that Buddha and Jesus would laugh or cry if they'd known what was done in their name.据说，佛陀和耶稣若知道后人以他们之名做了什么，不是大笑就是痛哭。 让创始人先有人的反应，再把审判推回给借名的人。

A simple path to goodness needs a supernatural roadmap.一条向善的简单路，偏要配一张超自然的路线图。 把救赎比作多余路线图，讽刺干净，不动声色。
关于这一章的问题
pin something on someone 是什么意思？
意思是「把身份、罪名或故事硬扣在某人身上」。台词里说，那枚勋章是别在耶稣身上、好让预言应验，就是这种硬扣上去的用法。
「算是吧，不完全如此」英语怎么说？
可以说 sort of。台词里先有一句 “The rest is history.”，紧跟着一句 “Well, sort of. Lot of fairy tales mixed in.”，就是「算是吧，里面掺了不少童话」。
flapdoodle 是什么意思，能随便用吗？
意思是「胡扯、唬人的花架子」，语气很不客气。台词里 But that's Vatican flapdoodle. 等于把一整套排场说成瞎扯淡；熟人之间吐槽可以，正式场合别用。
have something in mind 是「记得」的意思吗？
不是。have something in mind 是「心里原本打算或期待某事」，不是「记得」。台词里 It's not what I had in mind. 说的是「这不是我想要的」，不是「我没记住」。
「把学问、信念或消息传给后人」英语怎么说？
用 pass something on。台词里说 Why not pass the Buddha's teachings on in a modern form.，就是问「何不把佛陀的教导用现代形式传下去」。
