这场戏：看守所里的道理课
第 19 章 · 共 27 章 · 3'50"
柯比因为这场抓捕被关进看守所，范德霍夫来探望，讲起自己当年的事：it struck me I wasn't having any fun（我忽然意识到自己一点都不快活）。他还说 You can't take it with you（钱是带不走的）。柯比却认定自己被耍了，说这是 caught in your own trap（作茧自缚）。想学怎么讲道理，这些说法很实用。
「钱是带不走的」：you can't take it with you（钱带不走）
it struck me 我忽然想到、意识到took up 开始学、重新玩起As near as I can see 依我看、就我所知
「作茧自缚」：caught in your own trap（自食其果）
just a starter 才刚开始、只是开头get out 滚出去caught in your own trap 作茧自缚、自食其果
柯比因为这场抓捕被关在看守所，火气很大，说儿子都快被人抢走，担心这事 jeopardize the biggest deal of my career（毁掉事业上最大的一笔交易）。范德霍夫却让他 Stop worrying（别瞎操心），还讲起自己三十五年前的转折：going up in the elevator, it struck me I wasn't having any fun（坐电梯上楼时忽然意识到自己一点都不快活），于是他当场下楼再没回去，后来集邮、逛动物园、重拾口琴。他给柯比的道理是：You can't take it with you（钱是带不走的），唯一能带走的是 the love of your friends（朋友的爱）。可布莱克利一到，柯比才明白是他安排的抓捕，骂他 caught in your own trap（作茧自缚）。想学怎么讲道理、怎么放狠话，这些说法都很实用。

“You can't take it with you, Mr. Kirby. So what good is it?”
柯比先生，钱是带不走的。那它有什么用呢？
片名就在这一句里：一句话把整部片的主题钉死。
You can't take it with you. So what good is it?
劝人别把钱攥太紧时用；葬礼以外的正式场合直接引用也合适。
Money won't follow you into the grave. ／ You leave it all behind in the end.
中性
can't take it 连读，what good 重读，句尾轻落。
Spend it on your family; you can't take it with you. 把钱花在家人身上吧，反正也带不走。
“As near as I can see, the only thing you can take with you is the love of your friends.”
依我看，你唯一能带走的就是朋友对你的爱。
把「带不走钱」翻成「带得走爱」，一句话完成全片的回答。
the only thing you can take with you is ...
总结人生取舍时用；商务或正式汇报里别这么抒情。
All you really keep is the love of the people around you. ／ What travels with you is who loved you.
literary
As near as I can see 一口气带过，only thing 重读。
In the end, the only thing you can take with you is how you treated people. 到头来，你唯一能带走的是你待人的方式。
“Then one morning, when I was going up in the elevator, it struck me I wasn't having any fun.”
后来有天早上，我坐电梯上楼时忽然意识到，我一点都不快活。
把顿悟放在最平常的电梯里，越平淡越让人信。
it struck me I wasn't ...
讲自己忽然想通一件事时用；写正式报告别用这么随意的说法。
It hit me that I wasn't happy. ／ The thought came to me in the elevator.
中性
going up in the 连读，struck me 重读，wasn't 轻带。
It struck me I had been working for the wrong reason. 我忽然意识到，我一直在为错误的理由工作。
“This would be a fine country if we all spent our time in the zoo and played the harmonica.”
要是大家都把时间花在逛动物园和吹口琴上，这个国家会好得多。
用夸张的荒唐画面说出对「拼命赚钱」的反问，比讲道理更有力。
This would be a fine X if we all ...
场合：饭桌上调侃太功利的生活方式，对朋友和家人能用；对上司或严肃场合不要用，听着像唱反调。
The world would be better if we all slowed down a little. ／ We'd all be happier if we stopped chasing money.
口语
fine 和 harmonica 稍加重，整句拉长像在叹气。
This would be a fine office if we all left on time once in a while. 要是我们偶尔都能准点下班，这办公室会好得多。
下一章 · 20good riddance谢天谢地这场戏：骂大人物是失败者意思是「钱是带不走的」，来自一句老话，劝人别为攒钱拼命，因为死后什么也带不走。它也是这部片的片名。
意思是「被狠狠敲一笔、花大价钱」，形容为某样东西付出远超合理的代价，语气带抱怨。
意思是「黄了、落空」，常用来讲计划、交易、安排最终没能成。What if it does fall through 就是「要是它真黄了呢」。
caught in your own trap。trap 是陷阱，自己设的陷阱把自己困住，就是「作茧自缚、自食其果」。
to tell you the truth。它放在句首，表示接下来要说的是真心话，比 honestly 更口语。
