这场戏：发现折磨她的是他
第 19 章 · 共 25 章 · 3'25"
伊芙终于见到那张脸：剪她头发、折磨她的就是 V。她问他为什么，V 只说 I wish there'd been an easier way（真希望当时有更简单的办法）。他承认编了一个谎言，因为艺术家 use lies to tell the truth（用谎言讲真话），正因她信了，才发现比命更重要的东西。想学怎么给伤害找说法，这段很典型。

use lies to tell the truth 用谎言讲真话mattered more to you than life 比命更重要has nothing to do with 和……毫无关系
伊芙在牢房里熬过酷刑、以为自己会被处死，如今却站在 V 面前，发现剪她头发、折磨她的正是这个人：You tortured me.（是你折磨我。）她问他为什么，V 的解释是：她当初 refuse to give in（不肯屈服），在牢房里找到了比命更重要的东西；他编了一个谎言，因为艺术家 use lies to tell the truth（用谎言讲真话），而正因她信了，才发现了真实的自己。这段最适合学怎么为伤害找说法，give in（屈服、让步）、has nothing to do with（和……毫无关系）都能直接用。

They put you in a cell and took everything they could take... ...except your life. And you believed that was all there was, didn't you? The only thing you had left was your life, but it wasn't. -Oh, please. -You found something else. In that cell, you found something that mattered more to you than life. When they threatened to kill you unless you gave what they wanted... ...you told them you'd rather die. You faced your death, Evey. You were calm. You were still.
听我说，伊芙。 这可能是你一生中最重要的时刻。认真面对它。 他们夺走了你的父母。他们夺走了你的哥哥。 他们把你关进牢房，夺走了他们能夺走的一切…… ……除了你的命。 而你以为，剩下的就只有这些了，是不是？ 你以为你只剩下一条命，可事实并非如此。 ——哦，求你了。——你找到了别的东西。 在那间牢房里，你找到了一样比命更重要的东西。 当他们威胁你，说你不交出他们要的东西就杀了你…… ……你告诉他们，你宁肯死。 你直面了自己的死亡，伊芙。 你很平静。你一动不动。
下一章 · 20getting back at报复这场戏：临别道出复仇真相字面是「用谎言讲真话」。V 用它解释自己编造的牢房：故事是假的，但伊芙在里面感受到的勇气和真实是真的。
give in。refuse to give in 就是不肯屈服、咬住不松口，常用来夸一个人在压力下没有低头。
has nothing to do with。比如 What you felt in there has nothing to do with me. 意思是你在里面感受到的东西跟我毫无关系。
不是。这里的 commit to 是认真投入、豁出去做，V 让伊芙别逃，正面接住这个最重要的时刻。
字面是「你有病」，口语里是骂对方心理扭曲、变态，比 evil 更针对精神状态。
