看美剧金装律师学英语:Harvey与Quelling对峙
在金装律师S03E16,Harvey与James Quelling在律所内部发生了激烈对峙场景:Quelling控诉Harvey把事情交到了有关方面(律师协会 / 美国检察官)手里,指控因此导致对方合作者(Mike Ross)被传唤、被逼供,最终造成整个局势崩塌。Harvey反驳并不打算阻止调查,Quelling随即警告Harvey让他以后当心点,Harvey当即怒了,(“你要再搞事,我会找到你,把你每一根骨头都掰断”),场面险峻。最后一句 “Quelling, be on your way.” 表示让一名在场的下属离开,场景在高压中结束。

这段对话浓缩了《金装律师》常见的主题:法律风险、道德冲突与个人恩怨。它既是剧情中的转折点(将调查推向个人化),也是教学上的宝库:丰富的法律词汇、强烈情绪的口语表达以及可展开的伦理讨论。用它做课堂材料,学生既能练听说,又能学到地道职场/法律语境下的表达和思辨技巧。
