【乾，我講英文有夠乾】: 看完「魷魚遊戲」只講得出 It’s great. 嗎？

大家也看了魷魚遊戲了嗎？很多紐約的 #美國朋友 跟我說
・It’s way better than the Hunger Games.
・I binged the whole 9 episodes (一次追了九集).
・It’s graphically brutal. (超級血腥殘忍)
・Totes worth a watch. (Totes 是 totally 的口語寫法)

但當我問問身邊的人會怎樣用英文聊這部劇時，台灣人的對這部影集的描述常常是：

・It’s really good.
・I liked it!
・You should watch it.
・I highly recommend it.

當然，這 4 句話在語意上、用法上沒有問題。但如果你想要用得更 #道地、#到位，請繼續讀下去。

1️⃣ 傳統無啥用的 solution:

面臨這樣的問題，傳統上不少英文老師會建議你去查閱同義字字典，去 #升級自己會的形容詞。但，其實不斷用 It’s adj. 的方式
或去升級 “like” 這個動詞，調成 I enjoyed watching it. 只是繼續圍繞在相似的想法裡頭，英文還是 #沒有質的變化。�

2️⃣ 從「#思維模板」、母語人士的「#說話習慣」下手：

其實不管是魷魚遊戲、還是 The Hunger Games、還是其他相似種類 (genre) 的電影，英美國人會講述的方式「大同小異」，並 #不會因人而異。這樣的好處就是我們有個範圍可以學習這些「思維模板」。不只是一兩個字的片語、搭配詞，而是整體「表達的方向」。

例如：

✔︎ 在表達從第一集就ㄉㄧㄠˊ住時，你可以說：�
I was hooked from the first episode.
It had me hooked from the start.

✔︎ 在表達很棒時，他們不會只說 It’s great. 他們會說
It's hands down one of the best series I’ve seen on Netflix.
One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

✔︎ 其他正向表述、讚揚的講法還包含：
It’s worth a watch for sure! (值得一看)
It has set a high bar for other movies of this genre. (把標準提得很高)
It has definitely lived up to the hype! （真的如大家所說般地好 ）

之所以為思維模板，就是母語人士ㄧ要描述電影觀後感時，
#幾乎都會馬上想到這些用法。我們不應該再走「中文想這樣講 — > 翻成英文」這樣的路。

記得，英文要學好不是要變成「逐字翻譯大師」。要從慣用思維、表達習慣下手。

匿名法官接受訪問

//“[Tong] didn’t do much of anything—he didn’t commit murder or arson,” the judge said wryly. “He is the most benevolent terrorist in the world.”//
（佢既無殺人，亦無縱火，無做啲咩嘢，（如果係恐怖份子嘅話），佢應該係世上最善良嘅恐怖份子。）

至於刑事案件响高等法院無陪審團之下審訊，呢位法官覺得，如果政府咁安排嘅目的要保護陪審的話，「總有其他方法比徹底破壞整個制度好」。

//If the government wanted to protect jurors, the judge said, “There must be some other way apart from abolishing the whole system.”//

關於專家證人政治解釋口號嘅用處，匿名法官認為專家證嘅作用係幫助法庭理解法律以外嘅事，但解釋政治口號嘅話就未必有效用（"flawed tool"），呢啲正正就需要陪審團以普通人嘅「常識」去理解（“common-sense approach”），相反，法官通常會用法律角度去思考。

對於香港司法制度嘅未來，法官覺得可能越黎越接近新加坡，即係「商業法係可以嘅，但當牽涉刑事或人權就大有問題。」

“We might become more like Singapore. The business law is fine, but there’s a big problem in criminal law and human rights.”

最後，佢就用心臟病做比喻，

“It’s a sign of danger. If it continues to develop, it will lead to cardiac arrest. But is it fair to say a person is worthless just because of a heart condition? No, the body is still there to compensate.”

「（有心臟病）係危險嘅徵兆，如果繼續發展落去，終會心臟停頓。但，係咪可以話有心臟病就等如廢呢？未必嘅，因為身體其他部份未死，仍然可以支持住。）

Lyrics:

I'd never have given you a second look
我從未多看你兩眼
But I like the way you don't give a damn
但我喜歡你滿不在乎的態度
You seem like someone I could pick a fight with, and dance all night with
你是我值得一拼的對手 也是我願意共舞整夜的好友
Baby, maybe you'll like me the way I am
親愛的 也許你會喜歡真正的我

Even though you've got bad tattoos and smell like booze
儘管你身上滿是刺青 又渾身酒氣
I'm into you
我還是迷上了你
Even though you've got an attitude
儘管你總發脾氣
Baby, I'm in love
親愛的 我還是愛上了你

I've saying a little too much
我好像說得太多了
I'm a little bit drunk
因為我有些醉了
Feels like I know you so well
感覺已經很瞭解你了
You could be everything that I've been missing
你就是我眷戀的一切
I'm coming out of my shell
我就實話實說了
And I never do that
我從未如此勇敢過
How did you do that?
你是怎麼做到讓我如此著迷的
It's like I've known you my whole life
好像我已將你生平了然
So what we'rе a little drunk
既然我們都有一些醉了
Let's go home togеther (Yeah, yeah)
那就一起回家吧
Let's go home together
讓我們一起回家吧

I'm never that good in a crowded room
我不喜歡待在滿是人的屋子裡
But everything stopped when I just saw you
但我看見你的那一刻一切都停止了
You seem like someone I could be myself with, no defenses
你就是可以與我相伴的人 可以與我坦誠交心
Maybe you'll like me the way I am
也許你會喜歡真正的我

Even though you talk way too fast
儘管你走得太快了
I can't stop looking at your eyes
我還是不能自已地盯著你的眼睛
Heads turn every time you laugh
每次你笑我都會朝你望去
Baby, I'm in love
親愛的 我還是愛上了你

I've saying a little too much
