第 3 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'54"
有人一口咬定梦见了金奖券的下落，医生先教训他 to believe in one's dreams is a manifestation of insanity（相信梦就是精神失常），转头又急着追问券到底在哪儿。新闻宣布首张券在德国被找到，查理生日开巧克力，结果只是 Fooled you（骗到你了吧）。想学嘴上一套心里一套的英文，这段很有戏。

诊室里，霍夫斯泰德坚持说自己梦见了金奖券的下落，医生却按着套路讲：to believe in one's dreams is a manifestation of insanity（相信自己的梦就是精神失常），还劝他，The sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll get well（越早接受越早康复）。可他反问 What difference does that make（那有什么区别），医生反而绷不住，急着问券到底在哪儿。新闻直播：首张金奖券在德国小镇杜塞尔海姆出现，被奥古斯特·格鲁普找到，他母亲说 Eating is his hobby（吃就是他的爱好）。回到查理家，家人给他过生日，开巧克力时的期待落空，他笑着说 Fooled you（骗到你了吧）。raise hopes 是给空指望；cost a fortune 是花一大笔钱；bolts of lightning 是一道道闪电。

We began with five Golden Tickets. Like five lucky bolts of lightning ready to strike at any point on the map. No one knew where or when the first one would hit.

一开始有五张金奖券。 就像五道幸运的闪电，随时会落在地图上任何一个地方。 没人知道第一张会在何时何地出现。 但大家都知道，昨晚我们有了答案。 我们美国人还在睡梦中时，第一张金奖券被找到了…… 就在德国的小镇杜塞尔海姆。
下一章 · 04put a jerk in it麻利点这场戏：为金奖券对爸爸撒泼指带来改变、起作用。原句 What difference does that make?，就是「那有什么区别」，用来质疑对方的话有没有意义。
说 get well，比如 get well soon（早日康复）。原句 the sooner you'll get well，就是「你就越早好起来」。
说 cost a fortune，fortune 指一笔巨款。原句 It's gonna cost him a fortune，就是「这得让他花一大笔钱」，口语里很常用。
说 raise hopes，指让人心存希望，常带「希望可能落空」的意味。原句 Don't raise his hopes，就是「别给他空指望」。
是口语「骗到你了吧」，常用在开玩笑之后。原句 Fooled you, didn't I?，就是「骗到你了吧？」，语气俏皮。
