这场戏：电话被监听后爬出家门
第 22 章 · 共 30 章 · 3'07"
博·迪特尔偷偷打来电话，只说了一句 I cannot talk to you on this phone（我不能用这部电话跟你说），乔丹立刻明白：事儿大了。果然，对方告诉他 phones tapped（电话被监听）。偏偏这时乔丹嗑的安眠酮开始发作，站都站不起来。想学怎么用英文讲被窃听、怎么劝人别开车，这几十秒够了。
立刻离开家：call me from a pay phone（用公用电话打给我）

有人告诉乔丹 phones tapped（电话被监听）

嗑药瘫了：crawl like Skylar（像斯凯拉那样爬）
skipped the tingle phase 跳过了发麻的阶段walking's out 走路是没戏了crawl like Skylar 像斯凯拉那样爬
博·迪特尔突然打来电话，压低声音说 I cannot talk to you on this phone（我不能用这部电话跟你说），让乔丹立刻出门找公用电话回他。原因是那个联调局的德纳姆，有人告密说他 got your phones tapped（把你电话监听了）——办公室和家里都不安全。偏偏乔丹和唐尼刚吞下安眠酮，药劲延迟发作，乔丹直接进入「脑瘫阶段」，站着都费劲，更别说开车。博在电话里反复提醒 Don't get behind the wheel（别去碰方向盘），还说要派罗科 pick you up（开车去接他）。这几个说法一次讲清：被人窃听、劝人别酒驾、安排人来接，全是日常真能用上的。

“Don't talk on the motherfucking phone!”
别他妈在电话里说话！
最急的警告用最脏的话喊出来，怕的不是失礼而是被录音。
Don't ... on the phone!
急着阻止对方在电话里多说时用；正式场合换成 keep it off the line。
Never say that on the phone. ／ Keep it off the line.
口语
Don't talk 重读，motherfucking 压低，phone 收住。
Don't give your card number on the phone. 别在电话里报你的卡号。
“I mean, I had skipped the tingle phase and went straight to the drool phase.”
我是说，我跳过了发麻的阶段，直接进入了流口水的阶段。
把药物反应说成有阶段的流程，一本正经得荒唐好笑。
skip ... and go straight to ...
调侃事情跳过了中间步骤直接到极端时用；写报告别这么随意。
We skipped the warm-up and went straight to chaos. ／ It jumped past mild and went straight to severe.
口语
skipped the tingle 连读，straight to 略过，drool 拖长。
We skipped the small talk and went straight to arguing. 我们跳过了寒暄，直接开始吵。
“You didn't try to bribe this fucking FBI agent, did you?”
你没试着贿赂那个联邦调查局的人吧？
用一个反问把最重的怀疑递过去，答案不问也知道他会怎么想。
You didn't ..., did you?
半信半疑地追问对方有没有做某坏事时用；对长辈这样问很冒犯。
You never called him, did you? ／ You didn't actually do that, did you?
口语
didn't try 连读，FBI 三字母重读，did you 尾音上扬。
You didn't send that email, did you? 你没把那封邮件发出去吧？
“These little bastards were so strong, I discovered a whole new phase.”
这些小药丸太猛了，我又解锁了一个全新阶段。
把嗑药后遗症说成「新阶段」，黑色幽默里带着失控感。
discover a whole new phase
自嘲状态失控时能用；对严肃的医生或家人说别用，会显得不当回事。
I unlocked a whole new level. ／ That took me to a new stage.
口语
little bastards 连读，whole new 连成一块。
After three coffees, I discovered a whole new phase of energy. 三杯咖啡下肚，我解锁了新的兴奋阶段。
“It was a real WASP stronghold, just a mile down the road from my house.”
那是个地道的白人上流社会据点，离我家只有一英里。
WASP stronghold 精准点出美国上层圈子的排他地盘，配上「一英里」的距离，身份反差很讽刺。
a real X stronghold
形容某个圈子、机构是某类人铁板一块的地盘时用；WASP 带族群与阶层色彩，正式场合慎用。
A genuine old-money enclave. ／ A stronghold of the old elite.
中性
a real WASP 连读，stronghold 重读，just a mile down the road 快速带过。
The club was a real old-money stronghold, nobody new ever got in. 那家俱乐部是老钱的地盘，新人根本进不去。
“This is not a fucking joke, Jordan.”
这他妈不是开玩笑，乔丹。
在紧急提醒前甩出这句，把气氛瞬间收紧；not a joke 是英语里最快让人严肃起来的说法之一。
This is not a joke.
想立刻让对方意识到事情严重、别再嬉皮笑脸时用；带脏话偏口语，正式警告换成 This is serious。
I'm not kidding, this is serious. ／ This is no laughing matter.
口语
This is not a 连读，fucking joke 重读，Jordan 压低收尾。
This is not a joke, lock the door and stay inside. 这不是开玩笑，锁好门待在里面别出去。
下一章 · 23let alone更别提这场戏：父亲劝儿子认罪退位就是「电话被监听」。tap 本意是接上管子窃听，警方或联调局在电话线上装设备偷听，英语常说 someone's phones are tapped。博·迪特尔警告乔丹，办公室和家里的电话都被人监听了。
get behind the wheel。wheel 就是方向盘，behind the wheel 指坐在驾驶座，get behind the wheel 就是坐上去开车。博在电话里喊 Don't get behind the wheel of the car，是怕嗑高了的乔丹开车出事。
pick someone up。博说 I'm gonna send Rocco over to pick you up，意思是「我让罗科过去接你」。日常也可以说 I'll pick you up at the airport，就是「我去机场接你」。
deliver 在这里是「送去、送达」，不是「发表」。台词里 He was supposed to deliver some money 说的是布拉德本该去送一笔钱，结果在商场被抓。快递、外卖到了也会用 deliver。
因为他听说乔丹办公室和家里的电话都被德纳姆监听了。在家用座机说话会被录下来当证据，所以他让乔丹出门找 pay phone（公用电话）再打回来。这是犯罪片里很常见的反侦察做法。
