这场戏：兄弟撞见女友后翻脸
第 10 章 · 共 20 章 · 4'47"
杰姆突然上门，撞见道格和克莱尔在一起，三两句就把她的底细问了出来——她还是在银行当经理。克莱尔一走，杰姆立刻翻脸，质问道格是不是被这个女人迷住，还拿 We get pinched（我们被抓）说事。想学怎么套话、怎么翻脸、怎么下狠话，都在这段。
老师夸他 a real gem（真宝贝），外号就这么来的
a real gem 宝贝、好人like brothers 情同兄弟a word about 只字未提
兄弟翻脸：get us jammed up（惹上麻烦）
jammed up 惹上麻烦、被缠住under control 在掌控之中
杰姆没打招呼就上门，撞见道格和克莱尔在一起。他自来熟地聊起那辆 Avalanche 卡车，还说两人 since we were 6、like brothers（从六岁起就像兄弟）；可一句 But he's never mentioned a word about you（你的事他一个字都没提过）。他问克莱尔做什么，她说在银行当经理，正是刚被抢的那家；她又说两人在自助洗衣店认识，杰姆回一句 Love among the bleach（在漂白水里谈情）。克莱尔走后，杰姆彻底翻脸，担心道格被这个女人 jammed up（惹上麻烦），最后甩下 We get pinched, remember whose idea this was（被抓了可别忘是谁的主意）。套话、翻脸、下狠话，都很地道。

“Since we were 6. We're like brothers. Right?”
从六岁起。我们跟兄弟一样。对吧？
一句交情陈述配一个求确认的 Right，亲密里已经埋了心虚。
Since we were ..., we're like ...
讲老交情、求对方认同关系时用；正式场合说 close friends。
We've been friends since we were kids. ／ We grew up together like family.
口语
Since we were 6 稍快，Right? 尾音上扬求回应。
Since we were kids, we're like family. 我们从小一起长大，跟一家人一样。
“But he's never mentioned a word about you.”
可他一个字都没提过你。
不指责，只陈述事实，却让整桌人都听出了背叛的味道。
never mentioned a word about ...
暗示对方刻意隐瞒时用；当面说容易让人难堪。
He never said a thing about you. ／ You never came up once.
中性
never mentioned 连读，a word 重读，about you 放轻。
She never mentioned a word about her brother. 她一个字都没提过她有个哥哥。
“Don't you think we need to be smart right now?”
你不觉得我们现在得聪明点吗？
用反问代替命令，把争吵拉回理性，也把压力递给对方。
Don't you think we need to ...?
想劝对方冷静、又不想直接命令时用；对长辈算礼貌。
Shouldn't we be more careful here? ／ Don't you think it's time to play it safe?
中性
Don't you 连读，need to 弱读，句尾轻挑。
Don't you think we need to slow down? 你不觉得我们该慢一点吗？
“You hate prison but you can't wait to get caught.”
你讨厌坐牢，却又巴不得被抓。
一句矛盾句戳穿自毁，比骂人狠得多，也道破两人的分歧。
You hate X but you can't wait to Y
点破别人自相矛盾、明知故犯时用；关系不近别说。
You say you hate it, yet you keep going back. ／ You dread it and still walk right into it.
口语
hate prison 重读，but you can't wait 加速带过。
You hate the job but you can't wait to go back. 你讨厌这份工作，却又巴不得回去。
“This is the last one. We're hitting pause after this.”
这是最后一票。干完这票我们就收手。
一句给自己划下的期限，听起来像承诺，其实谁都不信。
This is the last one. ... after this.
宣布最后一次、准备收手时用；也常用于戒烟戒酒。
After this, I'm done for good. ／ This is the last time, I mean it.
口语
the last one 重读，hitting pause 连读，句尾收稳。
This is the last one, then I'm taking a break. 这是最后一次，之后我就歇了。
下一章 · 11made my peace with认了这场戏：探监追问母亲下落「惹上麻烦、被缠住」。杰姆说 you're trying to get us jammed up，就是「你想把我们拖进麻烦里」，多指惹上官司或麻烦事。
flip out。道格说没告诉别的兄弟，only because they'd flip the fuck out，就是「只因为他们会炸锅、会暴跳如雷」，很口语。
pinched。杰姆说 We get pinched, remember whose idea this was，就是「咱们要是被抓了，记住这是谁的主意」，犯罪片里很常见。
「工作狂」。杰姆讽刺道格 he's a real workaholic，表面夸他勤快，其实是拿他的「工作」开玩笑——毕竟他干的是抢银行。
gem 是「宝石、宝贝」，也谐音杰姆的名字 Jem。戏里说老师夸他 a real gem，所以这外号就这么叫开了，一语双关。
hit the road。戏里 Let's hit the road 就是「咱们走吧、上路吧」，是很随口的一句催人出门的说法。
