And it's exactly the opposite: we turn up the volume on the things we didn't expect to hear, such as "I spoke nicely to him," "I asked him to take me home," "I asked him to finish quickly," and we turn down the volume on the things we did expect to hear: the gun in the glove compartment, the isolation.
Und das geht genau andersherum: Wir heben hervor, was wir nicht zu hören erwartet hätten. "Ich habe nett mit ihm gesprochen." "Ich bat ihn, mich heimzufahren." "Ich bat ihn, schnell fertig zu machen." Und wir rücken in den Hintergrund, was wir zu hören erwartet haben: der Revolver im Handschuhfach, die Abgeschiedenheit.
