No, I'm sure about that.The Man from Earth · 2007 — 第 9 / 18 章 · 3'21" · C1
有人被追问是不是洞穴人,先答自己是克罗马农人;问留疤,一句 I don't scar(我不会留疤)就把话挡回去。有人提议 at face value(先按字面当真)往下谈。想聊怀疑、信任和不肯自证,这几句都能用。
一屋子人围着一名男子追问:他自称克罗马农人,却说不出史前得过什么病,只提到肺炎、伤寒、黄热病、天花和黑死病;有人要他去做医学检查,话头转到防备和信任。有人提议先 take it at face value(先按字面当真),再往下探讨;随后一句 Walls have ears(隔墙有耳,话会被听见),把私下说话会不会被听去摆上台面。争论从留疤、常识一路走到永生者是否真的无所不知,最后一句 So much for(这个说法到此为止)给所谓无所不知的神话泼了冷水。想聊怀疑、隐私和拒绝自证,这些说法都能直接用。

有人说不结疤不可能之后,有人出来圆场,请大家先把这套说法 at face value(先按字面当真)接住,再顺着这个角度谈;是在劝架,不是已经相信。

I see your point, John.When the Cro-Magnon was first identified, when anthropology gave them a name, I had mine.克罗马农人第一次被辨认出来、人类学给他们起了名的时候,我也就有了自己的名字。 两个 when 叠出认名的时刻,名字不是自封的,是学科后来替他安上的。

leery of 是「提防,不太敢靠近」,后面接让人不放心的事物;戏里说 leery of labs(对实验室不放心),就是这个用法。
