这场戏：为公文包在停车场动手
第 21 章 · 共 30 章 · 5'02"
装满现金的公文包没合上，两个人就在停车场吵翻，一个要对方 give me a pass（放我一马），另一个搬出「皇帝从他妈镇下来」嘲讽，最后还动起手、招来警察。之后唐尼带着安眠酮来找乔丹庆祝。想学怎么用英语斗嘴、放狠话，正好能照搬。
「趁人不备出拳偷袭」是 sucker-punch
sucker-punch 趁人不备出拳偷袭when they're scared 趁人害怕的时候an apology 等到一句道歉
「把咱们放倒」是 knock us on our heads
When it comes to 说到、论及a special occasion 特殊场合
装满现金的公文包合不上，两个人就在停车场吵起来：一个骂对方开车太招眼，一个自称「我做的都是百万大买卖，聪明又重要」；被偷袭过的那个一直没等到一句道歉，最后甩出一句「我给你 give me a pass（放我一马）」，立刻被对方用「他妈镇的大皇帝」讽刺回来，还叫嚣要 cause a scene（当众闹出动静）。吵架升级成动手，警察赶到。之后唐尼带着二十片正宗安眠酮来找乔丹，说这东西能 knock us on our heads（把咱们放倒），两人一起庆祝。最实用的是学怎么用英语损人、放狠话、要面子。

“That's not how you treat people.”
你对待人不该是这个样子。
吵到最凶时冒出一句讲道理的话，反而更像一记耳光。
That's not how you ...
觉得对方做法过分时用；对平辈朋友说可以，对上司说会得罪人。
You don't treat a friend like that. ／ That is no way to treat anyone.
中性
That's not how 连读，treat people 放慢收尾。
That's not how you talk to a customer. 跟顾客可不能这么说话。
“Three times as powerful as anything available today.”
效力是现在能买到的任何东西的三倍。
用最实在的倍数把旧药的诱惑说满，听着像广告词。
three times as ... as ...
比较数量和程度时用；正式报告里换成 threefold 更妥。
Twice as strong as the usual dose. ／ Far more potent than anything on the market.
中性
Three times 重读，as powerful as 连成一串，today 收住。
This laptop is three times as fast as my old one. 这台笔记本的速度是我旧机的三倍。
“My metabolism's pumping. I can't feel shit!”
我新陈代谢快得很。我他妈一点感觉都没有！
把药没起效赖到新陈代谢上，荒唐里透着嗑药人的执迷。
I can't feel a thing!
抱怨毫无感觉或毫无效果时用；脏话版只在熟人之间说。
I can't feel anything at all. ／ This stuff is doing nothing for me.
口语
metabolism's 重读，I can't feel 连读，shit 重收。
I took the painkiller but I can't feel a thing changing. 我吃了止痛药，可一点变化都没感觉到。
“Look, it's a figure of fucking speech.”
喂，那不过是个比喻说法而已。
用「比喻」给一句狠话找台阶，语气里全是强压的火气。
a figure of speech
解释自己只是随口一说时能用；对方真被伤到再说会像推脱，别用。
It's just a manner of speaking. ／ Don't take it literally.
口语
figure of 连读，fucking 重音，speech 收在 sh 上。
Relax, it was just a figure of speech. 放松，那只是个说法而已。
“Oh, my gosh. The Emperor of Fucksville came down from Fucksville to give me a pass!”
我的天，Fucksville 的皇帝陛下亲自下凡来放我一马了！
临时造出一个「Fucksville 皇帝」的荒诞头衔，把对方施舍般的宽容讥讽到底，是粗口里的想象力。
The Emperor of [place] came down to [do X]!
讽刺某人摆出一副高高在上、施恩于人的样子时用；粗俗又好笑，只在私下互怼时用。
His Majesty came down to bless me! ／ The king of this dump graced me with a pass.
口语
The Emperor of 升调，Fucksville 两处重复都重读，give me a pass 收尾加重。
The Emperor of Spreadsheets came down to approve my two-line fix! 表格大帝亲自下凡批准了我两行的修改！
“Look, it's a figure of fucking speech.”
听着，这只是个比喻的说法。
figure of speech 是解释「别当真、只是随口一说」的标准说法，这里被对方揪住不放，反倒成了笑点。
It's (just) a figure of speech.
解释自己只是用词夸张、并无字面意思时用；正式场合去掉脏话即可，道歉或澄清都好用。
It's just a manner of speaking. ／ I was speaking figuratively.
口语
Look 一顿，it's a 连读，figure of speech 三词放慢点清。
Relax, it's just a figure of speech, nobody is literally dying. 别紧张，这只是个比喻，没人真的快死了。
下一章 · 22phones tapped电话被监听这场戏：电话被监听后爬出家门字面是「给我一张通行证」，实际是放我一马、这次不追究。片中说 I'm gonna give you a pass，就是「我放你一马」，接着就催对方把箱子交出来。
可以说 give someone a pass，比如 I'll give you a pass this time（这次我放你一马）。也可以说 cut someone some slack。
意思是「一种说法、修辞」，用来解释自己刚才的话不是字面意思。片中说 it's a figure of speech，就是「我就是这么一说，别当真」。
不算骂人，指言行越界、失礼，比如 That was out of line（那话说得过分了）。常用在道歉或提醒对方别越界时。
指长期使用后产生耐受、效果变差，比如 built up a tolerance to coffee（喝咖啡喝出了耐受）。片中是吃了药没感觉时的说法。
