神探夏洛克:卷福的神语速你跟得上么？(S3E3-8)

【往期回顾】

原文对白：

-I'll take the case.
-What case?
-Yours. Why didn't you come to me in the first place?
-Because John can't ever know that I lied to him. It would break him and I would lose him forever. And Sherlock, I will never let that happen. Please, understand, there is nothing in this world I would not do to stop that happening.
-Sorry. Not that obvious a trick.

-这个案子我接了。
-什么案子？
-你的案子。你为什么不早来找我？
-因为不能让约翰知道我跟他撒谎了。真相会让他崩溃，而我会永远失去他。夏洛克，我绝不允许这种情况发生。你要明白，为了不让这种情况发生，我会无所不用其极。
-抱歉，这伎俩不是那么简单。

in the first place首先；起初。

在英语里表达“首先”的词组和单词有很多。包括：
firstly
at first
first of all
at the beginning
above all
in the first instance
to begin with

例句
首先，是不是每个人都要这样做呢？
First of all, does everybody have to do this?
