艾文,别这样。你给我冷静一个星期,我能信得过你吗?
B:I'm OK. I'll be fine. I'v cool. I'm cold. I'm like ice. She won't know what hit her.
我可以。我会没事的。我很冷静。我冷若冰霜。她不会知道是被谁暗算的。

注释:
1) evil (a.) 邪恶的
2) drive在此指“钉木桩”的动作,stake 就是“木桩”。drive a stake through one's heart“木桩穿心”原来是对付“吸血鬼”vampire 的必杀技,在此是因 Elvin 觉得Zina 太过邪恶才这样比喻。
3) keep one's cool 保持镇定、冷静
