这场戏：毒贩家讲笑与哭
第 6 章 · 共 23 章 · 5'01"
阿隆佐带杰克去毒贩家，杰克被灌得神志不清。阿隆佐讲了个蜗牛的笑话，又抛出他的街头哲学：说到底就是 smiles and cries（笑和哭），你得 control your smiles and cries（管住自己的情绪），因为这是谁也夺不走的东西。想听懂老警察的江湖课，这段最有味道。
有人给他亮了「放行」灯：green light
had a beef 跟人结了梁子green light 放行、准许动手got your back 给你撑腰、挺你
❝ 独白 · 14 句 蜗牛的笑话
一个慢吞吞的动物，被讲成一套脾气与代价。
阿隆佐带杰克来到一个毒贩家里。对方先跟阿隆佐寒暄，说拉斯维加斯有人跟他结了梁子，俄国人想要他的脑袋，还说 There's a green light on your ass（有人已经获准动手）。接着他们给杰克灌了药，杰克很快神志不清。阿隆佐不慌不忙，讲了个蜗牛的笑话，又说你把这笑话琢磨透了，就能把街头琢磨透；最后抛出他的街头哲学——说到底就是 smiles and cries（笑和哭），你得 control your smiles and cries（管住自己的情绪），因为这是谁也夺不走的东西。想学街头行话和老警察的江湖课，这几句都很带感。

“There's a green light on your ass.”
有人已经放话要你的命了。
一个路口的词被挪到街头，轻飘飘一句就把杀机说满。
There's a green light on someone.
只在关系近的人之间说狠话时用；对不熟的人说就是挑衅。
Someone put a target on your back. ／ There's a price on your head.
口语
green light 连读，on your 一带而过，句尾压低。
Watch yourself, there's a green light on your ass after that deal. 小心点，那笔交易之后有人盯上你了。
“Yeah, you got to. You got to control your smiles and cries.”
是啊，你得管住你的笑和哭。
把情绪管理说成笑和哭，两句重复，像是敲进人脑子里。
You got to control your ...
劝人稳住情绪、别露底时用；轻松场合会显得太重。
You have to keep your feelings in check. ／ You need to hold your face still.
口语
got to 浊化成 gotta，两次重复要一次比一次重。
You got to control your temper out there. 到了场上你得管住自己的脾气。
“And nobody can take that away from you.”
谁也别想从你身上夺走。
短句却站得住，把最后一点尊严钉死了。
Nobody can take that away from you.
安慰或鼓励人时用；对长辈说会显得轻慢。
No one can strip that from you. ／ That is yours and no one can touch it.
中性
take that away 连读，nobody 重读，句尾下沉。
Whatever they say, nobody can take that away from you. 不管他们怎么说，谁也别想从你身上夺走。
“I can't do a thing for you. It's your mess. You clean it up.”
我帮不了你，这是你自己闯的祸，自己收拾。
三句话一层层收口，把撇清关系说得像讲道理，交情到这儿就断了。
It's your mess, you clean it up.
对方自己惹了麻烦却想拉你一起担时用；对开口求你帮忙的人说过于绝情。
It's your mess, you deal with it. ／ You made it, you fix it.
口语
can't do a thing 连读，your mess 和 clean it up 都重读。
I had no part in this; it's your mess, you clean it up. 这事我没参与，祸是你闯的，自己收拾。
Here's a joke, boy. A man walks out of his house on his way to work. Sees this snail lying on his porch. So he picks it up, chucks it over the roof. Into the backyard. Snail bounces off a rock. Busts its shell up all to shit. Lands in the grass. Hmm. Snail lies there dying. But the snail doesn't die. And then after a while it can crawl again. And one day the snail up and heads back. To the front of the house. And finally, after, oh, about a year. The little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then the man walks out of his house. On his way to work. He sees this snail again. So he looks at it and he says... What the fuck is your problem?
小子，给你讲个笑话 有个人出门去上班，看见门廊上趴着一只蜗牛 他就把它捡起来，扔过屋顶，丢进后院 蜗牛撞在石头上，壳摔得稀巴烂 落在草丛里 嗯，蜗牛躺在那儿快死了 可蜗牛没死 过了一会儿，它又能爬了 有一天，蜗牛爬起来，往屋子前面爬 最后，大概过了一年吧 这小家伙又爬回了门廊 就在这时候，那人出门上班，又看见了这只蜗牛 于是他看着它说 你他妈有病吧
下一章 · 07pressing business更要紧的事这场戏：当街逼问嫌犯指「放行、准许动手」，来自红绿灯。剧里 There's a green light on your ass 就是「有人已经放话要对你下手」，等于给你亮了放行的信号。
clean up your mess，也可以说 clean it up。剧里 It's your mess. You clean it up 就是「这是你自己闯的祸，自己收拾」，冷冰冰地划清界限。
指「生手、没经验的菜鸟」。剧里 Think this greenhorn can handle undercover 就是「你觉得这生瓜蛋子干得了卧底吗」，带点轻视。
all about。剧里 It's all about smiles and cries 就是「说白了就是笑和哭」，用来说某件事的核心所在。
control your smiles and cries，字面是「管住自己的笑和哭」。剧里用它说在街头要藏住情绪，别让人看出你在想什么。
