这场戏：同一手法的袭击案
第 18 章 · 共 20 章 · 4'11"
维多尔一位女士被擀面杖砸了脑袋，袭击者以为她晕了，其实她没晕，还认出那人是大卫。他后来说 something just came over me（一时上了头）。另一个十六岁的证人则回忆，警察先告诉他时间，他只能跟着对，这就是 coaching the witness（给证人做辅导）。想讲冲动犯罪和证词被带偏，这两句很地道。

用自己的猜测对上警方的时间线，把证词的不可靠说破。
维多尔有个女人在家被人用擀面杖砸了头，袭击者以为打晕了她，她其实清醒着，认出了大卫·哈里斯。哈里斯主动到警局，承认打了人，还说自己抽了大麻、喝了酒，something just came over me（一时上了头），但绝口不提自己当时只穿内裤。多年后另一个证人回忆，当年才十六岁，警察先把案发时间告诉他，再让他回答几点离开电影院，他说自己没戴表，只能靠猜——这就是 coaching the witness（给证人做辅导）。更让他后来不安的是，检方明明知道时间对不上，还在法庭上 deceive the jury（欺骗陪审团），甚至想 deceive justice。

“"It takes a great prosecutor to convict an innocent man."”
「能把无辜的人定成罪，才叫了不起的检察官。」
一句反话把司法彻底倒过来讲，越像褒奖越刺耳。

用反话讽刺某种「本事」时用；正式演讲里也常见。
It takes real skill to get it this wrong. ／ Any prosecutor can convict a guilty man; this takes genius.

把失控说成一股莫名的东西涌上来，含混却极其好用。

I don't know what came over me; I should not have shouted. 我也不知道自己怎么了，不该冲你喊的。

I got a call one morning, a lady here in Vidor... had been hit over the head with a rolling pin... and the attacker thought she'd been knocked unconscious... when, in reality, she wasn't. And she recognized the attacker to be David Harris. He voluntarily came to the police station. I told him, "David, this girl knows who you are. "I don't even have to tell you I know the truth. "You know I know the truth this time." He said, "I was wrong. I smoked marijuana, I was drinking. "I don't know what got over me but something just came over me." But he forgot to mention one thing, that he was only wearing underwear. I felt as though the attack was sexually oriented. He never wanted to admit that... and, as I recall, he never really finally admitted it. He'd just get to where he wouldn't deny it.
有天早上我接到个电话，维多尔这边一位女士…… 被人用擀面杖砸了脑袋…… 袭击的人以为把她打晕了…… 其实她根本没晕。 她认出袭击她的人是戴维·哈里斯。 他自己主动来了警察局。 我跟他说：「戴维，这姑娘认得你。 「我都不用告诉你，我就知道真相。 「你知道，这回我知道真相了。」 他说：「我错了。我抽了大麻，还喝了酒。 「我不知道自己怎么了，就是一时上了头。」 可他漏说了一件事：他当时只穿着内裤。 我觉得那次袭击带着性意味。 这一点他从不肯承认…… 而且据我回忆，他到最后也没真认过。 他最多也就是不再否认。
Police give you the time of this and the time this happened... and you just correlate from those events. You just estimate from that event what time it was. You don't know. You're taking a guess. Police tell you, "It was 12:30 when this crime happened. "What time did you leave the movie?" "I know it was somewhere around midnight. "It might have been before then. I don't know. "I didn't have a watch on."
警察告诉你这事几点、那事几点…… 你就照着这些事去对时间。 你只能从那件事估摸当时是几点。 你根本不知道。 你就是在猜。 警察跟你说：「这案子是十二点半发生的。 「你几点离开的电影院？」 「我知道大概在午夜前后。 「也可能更早。我说不准。 「我没戴表。」
下一章 · 19tore my head off大发雷霆这场戏：证人隐瞒车上女人意思是「一时上了头」，指某种情绪或冲动突然涌上来，自己都说不清。片里哈里斯解释打人时说 something just came over me，就是「不知怎么就上了头」。
说 coaching the witness。片里说检方提前把证词跟证人对过、教他怎么答某些问题，这就叫 coaching the witness，中文常说「串证」或「带证人」。
用 deceive the jury。片里说 but he was deceiving the jury，就是「他在骗陪审团」；后面那句 He wanted to deceive justice，更重，说他连正义都想骗。
说 post bond。片里说 He posted his bond and went to Germany，就是他交了保释金就跑去德国。post 在这里是「交上（一笔钱）」的意思。
用 have dealings with。片里说 I really didn't have no real dealings with the court systems，就是「我跟法院那套真没打过交道」，用的是双重否定，口语里很常见。
