Grammar:

• Hear what I say sir, yeah yeah

  ➔ 祈使动词 + 宾语从句: “Hear what I say...”

  ➔ 使用祈使语态“Hear”给出直接命令。短语“what I say”充当动词“Hear”的宾语。

• Then you will get no hurt, mister, no no no

  ➔ 一般将来时 with "will": "you will get no hurt". 使用 "no" 来否定动词。

  ➔ 表达未来结果。注意：语法上， "get no hurt" 不如 "not get hurt" 常见，但在本文中表达相同含义。

• Don't you hear? I say, yeah (yeah yeah)

  ➔ 使用 "Don't you hear?" 的否定疑问句：构成一个带有负极性的问题。

  ➔ 这种结构通常用来表达惊讶或不相信。这意味着说话者期望听者能听到什么。

• Do you believe I would take such a thing with me

  ➔ 间接问句中的条件 "would"：在问题中表达假设的行为或意图。

  ➔ "would" 意味着说话者正在质疑听众是否认为他们*有能力*做这样的事情。这不是关于过去事实行为的问题，而是一个假设的可能性。

• And give it to a police man?

  ➔ 疑问句中的省略：缺少动词和主语，在非正式场合中常见。

  ➔ 这是 "And (would I) give it to a police man?" 的缩短形式。缺少的部分可以从上下文中理解。

• And if I do that, I would say "Sir Come on and put the charge on me"

  ➔ 第二条件句: "If I do that, I would say..." 表达一种假设的情况及其可能的结果。

  ➔ 这描述了一个不太可能发生的未来情景。 "If I do that" 指的是拿走东西并交给警察，说话者说他们不会这样做。 结果将是说“Sir Come on and put the charge on me”。
