这场戏：坦白过去并承诺
第 16 章 · 共 20 章 · 5'04"
克莱尔一件件追问，道格有问必答：早就知道她是银行经理、跟踪过她、抢过六辆运钞车两家银行。他保证 I will never lie to you again（我再也不会骗你了），还说 if I lose you, I will regret that for the rest of my life（要是失去你，我会后悔一辈子）。想学怎么向人坦白、郑重承诺，这段最打动人。
「我会后悔一辈子」：for the rest of my life
tell you the truth 跟你说实话killed anyone 杀过人the rest of my life 余生、剩下的日子
❝ 独白 · 21 句 弗格森教堂独白
从看脸认出父辈，讲到拳台、内线，最后落到那栋楼，节奏像慢慢收紧的绳。
道格要离开一阵子，临行前被克莱尔一件件追问：他早就知道她是那家银行的经理，还跟踪过她；他抢过六辆运钞车、两家银行，却从没杀过人。道格答应 I will never lie to you again（我再也不会骗你了），也说 Ask me anything you want（你想问什么就问），只求她 Just wait for me（等我）。另一头，他替弗格森接下那票劫案，放话要是她出事，就回来收拾他们；而计划的关键是找到 weak spot（薄弱环节）——大教堂里的内线。想学坦白、承诺和放狠话的英文，这几个说法都用得上。

“Tell him I say yes for me, will you?”
替我告诉他，我答应了，行吗？
把答应不答应当成一件事托人转达，一句话显出他对杰姆的信任和依赖。
Tell him I ... , will you?
托人带话、请对方转达时用；对不太熟的人这么讲略显随意。
Let him know I'm in, would you? ／ Tell him yes for me.
口语
Tell him 连读，say yes 重读，句尾 will you 轻快上扬。
Let him know I'm in for me, will you? 替我告诉他，我加入，行吗？
“And I'm gonna kill both of you in your own shop.”
我会在你们自己的店里把你们俩都宰了。
威胁不说后果，只说地点，把「在你自己地盘上」这层侮辱说满了。
I'm gonna ... in your own ...
撂狠话、划底线时用；玩笑的场合千万别这么说。
I'll come for both of you right here. ／ You won't be safe in your own shop.
口语
gonna kill 连读，your own shop 逐词加重。
If you touch my family, I'll find you in your own house. 你要是动我家人，我就去你家找你。
“Because you'll fucking hate the answers.”
因为那些答案会让你恨得不行。
用一句脏话把「真相很伤人」说得又狠又真，比任何解释都直接。
Because you'll hate the answers.
坦白前先打预防针时用；正式谈话里要去掉脏字。
You're not going to like what I say. ／ The truth won't be kind to you.
口语
Because you'll 连读，fucking 重读，answers 收尾下沉。
Ask if you want, but you'll hate the answers. 想问就问，可答案你未必爱听。
“...and if I lose you, I will regret that for the rest of my life.”
……要是失去你，我会后悔一辈子。
把一辈子的遗憾压在条件句里，承诺不再靠嘴硬，靠的是代价。
If I lose you, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
对重要的人表决心时用；日常轻描淡写地说会显得太重。
Losing you is something I'd never get over. ／ I'd carry that regret to the end.
中性
if I lose you 放慢，the rest of my life 逐词重读收尾。
If I lose this chance, I will regret it for the rest of my life. 要是错过这个机会，我会后悔一辈子。
“Well, if they were easy, kid, everybody would do them.”
要是容易，小子，谁都能干了。
一句老江湖的实话，把风险说成门槛，也是在替这场大案壮胆。
If they were easy, everybody would do them.
鼓励人接难题、解释门槛时用；对上级这么说容易显得轻慢。
Nothing worth doing is easy. ／ Easy jobs aren't worth much.
口语
if they were easy 轻快带过，everybody 重读。
If it were easy, everybody would do it. 要是这事儿简单，谁都能干了。
You know, it's funny. loan see your daddies' faces in you. All of youse. Reminds me I'm still in the ring. Still taking the punches. Still ahead on points. Now, I have a fellow on the inside there. He likes to play the ponies. Has a gambling sickness. He couldn't pick a horse to save his fucking life. But courtesy of this sick man... ...I have this, Hm? Well, the gang's all here. There's always a weak spot. We just need to find it. That is when you hit. And Monday morning, after a four-game stand with New York... Taking down the cathedral of Boston. Priceless. How long you think it's gonna take Rusty to dump the inside man... ...when this thing's over? Well, he should have picked better horses. This is gonna be a motherfucker. You know that, right? Well, if they were easy, kid, everybody would do them.
你知道，说来好笑，我在你们身上都能看到你们父亲的脸。 你们这帮人个个都是。 这提醒我，我还在拳台上。 还在挨着拳头，点数还领先。 现在，我在那边有个自己人。 他喜欢赌马，有赌瘾。 他挑马的本事烂到家，简直没救。 不过多亏这个病态的家伙…… ……我弄到了这个，嗯？ 好嘛，人都到齐了。 总有薄弱环节。 我们只要找到它就行。 那就是你下手的时候。 周一早上，跟纽约打完四连战之后…… 端掉波士顿的大教堂。 无价。 你觉得拉斯蒂要多久才会把那个内线甩掉…… ……等这事儿一结束？ 那他当初就该挑匹好马。 这票会他妈要命。你知道吧？ 要是容易，小子，谁都能干了。
下一章 · 17chase the rabbit盯住目标去追这场戏：酒吧闲聊又核对下一票指「被盯上、正被追查」，常用来形容被警方或舆论盯得紧。剧中 Are you taking heat? 就是问「你是不是被人盯上了」。
weak spot，也可以说 weak point。剧中 There's always a weak spot 就是「总有薄弱环节」，指再严密的计划也有软肋。
tell you the truth，常放在句子开头，比如 Let me tell you the truth。剧中人说 I'll tell you the truth，就是「我会跟你说实话」。
意思是「我的余生、往后一辈子」，用来强调影响会持续一生。剧中 I will regret that for the rest of my life 就是「我会后悔一辈子」。
在 couldn't pick a horse to save his life 这类句子里，to save his life 是加强否定的说法，意思是「拼了命也办不到、完全不行」。
