这场戏：坐上旺卡车兜风
第 16 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'31"
旺卡揭幕旺卡车，一句 Behold the Wonkamobile（看哪，旺卡车），再往车里灌满汽水当燃料，说 It's got more gas in it than a politician（这车气比政客还多），然后 Hold on tight（抓稳了）一路狂飙。结果汽水全喷到乘客身上，有人只能喊 I'm sending you the cleaning bill（干洗费账单寄给你），下车还要踩旱冰鞋。
「留个心眼」：keep your eyes open
Behold the Wonkamobile 看哪，旺卡车grab a seat 赶紧占个位子坐keep your eyes open 留个心眼、盯着点open her up 把动力全开
口语里的「老天爷」：the good Lord
It'll never come out 根本洗不掉the cleaning bill 干洗费的账单spelled backwards 倒着拼写the good Lord 老天爷
旺卡揭幕旺卡车，一句 Behold the Wonkamobile（看哪，旺卡车）就开始灌燃料：ginger ale、ginger pop、bubble cola，全是碳酸饮料，还说 Few people realize the tremendous power in those things（很少有人意识到这些东西里藏多大劲）。他让查理别多问，keep your eyes open and your mouth shut（睁大眼睛，把嘴闭紧），再 Hold on tight（抓稳了），把车子 open her up（把油门踩到底）。车速快得众人被汽水浇透，有人威胁要寄 cleaning bill（干洗费账单）。最后车停，大家问只到这儿吗，旺卡回一句 the good Lord 的玩笑，还请所有人换上旱冰鞋。

“Well, we still have each other. Shall we press on?”
没事，我们还有彼此。继续往前走吗？
先接住同伴的失落，再轻轻问一句要不要继续，安慰和主见都在里面。
We still have each other. Shall we ...?
队伍受挫、同伴泄气时用来打气并问下一步；正式报告里别这么随口说。
At least we still have each other. ／ Shall we carry on?
中性
still have 连读，press on 重音落在 on，句尾放轻。
We still have each other. Shall we keep climbing? 我们还有彼此。继续爬吗？
“Just keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.”
睁大眼睛，把嘴闭紧。
两句对仗的口令，把盯紧和别多嘴一次说清，干脆又好记。
keep your eyes open and your mouth shut
提醒同伴留心又别乱说话时用；对上司或长辈说会显得冒犯，别用。
Keep your eyes peeled and your mouth closed. ／ Watch and don't say a word.
口语
两个 keep 句节奏要齐，eyes open 连读。
Just keep your eyes open and your mouth shut out there. 上场后就睁大眼睛，把嘴闭紧。
“It should. It's got more gas in it than a politician.”
应该会。这里面的气比政客还多。
借政客的「全是空话」来接「够不够快」，一句冷笑话就出圈。
It's got more X in it than a Y.
熟人之间拿某人或某物开玩笑时用；正式场合或对领导别这么说。
It's got more gas than a hot-air balloon. ／ More hot air than a debate club.
口语
more gas in it 连读，than a 轻读，politician 重音在 -ti-。
He's got more hot air in him than a balloon. 他肚子里的空话比气球还多。
“Hold on tight. I'm going to open her up and see what she can do.”
抓稳了。我要把油门踩到底，看看她有多大能耐。
先把人按住，再宣告飙车，动作片台词一样的节奏，很旺卡。
Hold on tight. I'm going to open her up.
要带人体验刺激或启动某台机器前用；日常开车对乘客说很自然。
Hold on tight, I'm flooring it. ／ Brace yourself, she's got power.
口语
Hold on 连读成 hold-on，open her up 一气呵成。
Hold on tight, I'm going to open her up. 坐稳了，我要把油门踩到底。
“If the good Lord had intended us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates.”
要是老天爷想让我们走路，他就不会发明旱冰鞋了。
拿老天爷和旱冰鞋开玩笑，把偷懒说成天意，很有梗。
If ... had intended ..., ... wouldn't have ...
用夸张假设给自己找借口、逗人笑时用；严肃讨论里别讲这种歪理。
If we were meant to walk, cars would never have been built. ／ God gave us wheels for a reason.
口语
had intended 弱读，wouldn't have 连读，句尾降调。
If he'd meant us to climb, he wouldn't have invented the elevator. 要是他想让我们爬楼，就不会发明电梯了。
下一章 · 17TV dinner电视快餐这场戏：把人用电视传送意思是「继续往前走、接着干」。原句 Shall we press on，就是「我们继续往前走吗」，走路、做事都能用。
说 keep your eyes open。原句 keep your eyes open and your mouth shut，就是「睁大眼睛，把嘴闭紧」，提醒别人机灵点、别多话。
说 hold on tight，tight 就是牢牢地。原句 Hold on tight，就是开车前那句「抓稳了」，坐过山车时也会喊。
本意是气、汽油，这里一语双关。原句 got more gas in it than a politician，表面说这车气多，其实拿政客的「空话」开玩笑。
说 come out，专门形容污渍能不能洗掉。原句 It'll never come out，就是「这根本洗不掉」，衣服沾上东西时常说。
