讨教清明梦诀窍：make the best of it
有人开口就问「你怎么在这儿」，回话的人自称是梦境世界的 social lubricator（活跃气氛的人），接着教人怎么认出自己在做梦：电子钟看不清、灯开关按不动。他还说，诀窍是意识到「这是梦」，做法就是 make the best of it（尽量利用）。想把「认清处境再玩起来」说得地道，这两句够用。
发生了什么
对话从一句「你怎么在这儿」开场：对方自封 social lubricator（活跃气氛的人），说自己帮人更容易意识到正在做梦。他给的窍门很具体——电子钟的字看不清、小字印刷品不稳、灯亮着却关不掉，这些都算 tip-off（线索、提示），说明你在做梦。他还说，多数人醒着时 sleepwalking through（浑浑噩噩地经历）自己的日子，做梦时反倒 wake walking（醒着梦游）。最值得带走的是 make the best of it（尽量利用）：局面不由你定，就先认清它，再把手里的牌打好。聊梦、聊状态、安慰朋友都用得上。
这场戏看什么
- 注意谁在追问、谁在输出理论
- 留意灯光开关如何变成测试
- 观察 dream 一词反复出现

关于这一章的问题
make the best of it 是什么意思？
意思是「尽量利用」：局面不理想，也把能用的部分用好。台词里那人被问是不是总做这种梦，先答一句「那当然」，并说自己总会 make the best of it。
tip-off 是什么意思？
「线索、提示」，能让人察觉真相的小信号。这里说的是梦里的破绽：电子钟的字看不清、灯亮着却关不掉，都算提示你在做梦。
「活跃气氛的人」英语怎么说？
social lubricator 就是「活跃气氛的人」：在场合里帮大家放松、把气氛带起来。台词里有人自封 the social lubricator of the dream world，说自己帮别人更容易意识到他们正在做梦。
wake walking 和 sleepwalking 有什么区别？
sleepwalking 是睡着时到处走；wake walking 是台词把 sleep（睡）换成 wake（醒）造的说法，指在梦里醒着走动。台词把醒着时梦游和梦里醒着走并排，说两种状态都没让人得到多少。
「管他呢」英语怎么说？
口语里说 what the hell，语气轻一点就是「算了，管他呢」。台词里有人先甩一句 What the hell，接着说自己能飞、能聊天；后面又用 So what?（那又怎样）把调不了灯光这件事甩开。
