这场戏：最后一块巧克力没中奖
第 7 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'28"
爷爷拿买烟叶的钱给查理买了最后一块旺卡巧克力，两人屏住呼吸撕开——还是没中。有人被绑架，绑匪开口要的赎金竟是 It's your husband's life or your case of Wonka Bars（你丈夫的命，还是你那箱巧克力）。第五张券也被人找到，一家人叹气：A little boy needs something to hope for（小孩总得有点盼头）。这段很到位。
❝ 独白 · 8 句 one last dream 是「最后一个梦」
that's that 就这样了、没戏了something to hope for 可以盼的东西one last dream 最后一个梦
爷爷把买烟草的钱省下来，给查理买了最后一块旺卡巧克力，还说 I've given it up（我把烟戒了）。两人一点点撕开包装，查理怕得不敢下手，最后果然又没中，他自嘲说这巧克力 taste terrible（难吃）——其实是失望。另一边，电视里播出一桩绑架案，绑匪不要钱，只要 your case of Wonka Bars（你那箱巧克力）。接着第五张券在巴拉圭被一个赌场富翁找到，一家人只好说 that's that（就这样了），决定让查理睡到自然醒，Let him have one last dream（让他再做最后一个梦）。hope for something 是盼着某事；think it over 是好好考虑。

“All I want is to have Harold back.”
我只想让哈罗德回来。
一句就把所有条件推开，只要人回来，别的都不重要。
All I want is to ...
在对方开出很多条件、你只想守住最要紧的事时用；谈判桌上显得太软。
All I care about is getting him home. ／ I just want him back, nothing else.
中性
All I want 连读，is to 轻读，have Harold back 放慢。
All I want is to see her smile again. 我只想再看她笑一次。
“It's your husband's life or your case of Wonka Bars.”
你丈夫的命，还是你那箱旺卡巧克力，你自己选。
把命和一箱糖摆在天平两端，冷到极点的二选一。
It's X or Y.
把两个选项摊开、逼对方表态时用；生活里这样说很重，别轻易用。
Either your husband comes home or the candy stays. ／ You can keep him or keep the bars.
正式
husband's life 重读，or 后停顿，Wonka Bars 咬清。
It's your job or your health, so pick one. 工作还是身体，你选一个吧。
“A little boy needs something to hope for. What's he got to hope for now?”
小孩子总得有点盼头。他现在还能盼什么？
先给一句常理，再用反问把话说死，疼的是问的人。
Someone needs something to hope for.
替别人心疼、感叹他的处境没指望时用；带情绪，正式场合少用。
Every kid needs something to look forward to. ／ What does he have left to hope for?

hope for 连读，句尾 now 上扬，带出反问。
A child needs something to hope for, even a small thing. 孩子总得有点盼头，哪怕很小。
“Yeah, let him sleep. Let him have one last dream.”
对，让他睡吧。让他再做最后一个梦。
不吵醒、不揭穿，把最后一点甜留给孩子，最温柔的一句。
Let him have one last ...
不忍心立刻告诉对方坏消息、想让他多开心一会儿时用；对成年人不合适。
Let him enjoy it a little longer. ／ Give him one more night of dreaming.
口语
let him 连读，one last dream 放轻放慢。
Let her have one last happy evening before we tell her. 先让她高高兴兴过完今晚，再告诉她。
“I bet those Golden Tickets make the chocolate taste terrible.”
我敢打赌，那些金券肯定让巧克力变得难吃。
用一句孩子气的玩笑，把买不到金券的酸楚轻轻带过。
I bet ... make(s) ...
半开玩笑地表达羡慕或自我解嘲时用；认真下判断时换成 I'm sure。
I bet the winners can't even enjoy the chocolate. ／ Winning probably ruins the taste.
口语
I bet 轻快，Golden Tickets 连读，terrible 重读收尾。
I bet the prize makes the food taste worse. 我敢说拿了奖，那顿饭反而不好吃了。
