Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“She'll look after you, as the rest of us are off to the Riviera.”
她会照料你,因为我们其余人都要去里维埃拉了。
一句里完成托付客人、解释缺席,the rest of us 把其余人交代干净。
look after you, as the rest of us…
自己要出门、把客人或孩子托给留下的人时能套。
She'll take care of you while we're away. / The others are leaving; she'll host you.
formal
look after 连读,rest of us 轻轻带过,Riviera 拉长。
“They call us the Hollywood Raj, and we all play cricket once a week.”
他们管我们叫好莱坞英属圈,我们每周还打一次板球。
用殖民旧称给侨民圈起外号,再用板球把乡愁说成笑话。
They call us + 外号
给自己这帮人起外号、顺带自嘲习惯时能套。
They nickname us the expats. / We're the British colony out there.
literary
Hollywood Raj 两个重音,cricket 再顿一下。
“He seems a very nice chap, and his English is flawless, which is more than can be said for my French.”
他看着是个不错的人,英语无可挑剔,我的法语可就不敢这么说了。
先夸对方,再用 more than can be said for 把自己垫下去,客套里带自嘲。
which is more than can be said for…
夸完别人,想承认自己没那么好时能接这半句。
Unlike my French. / I wish I could say the same for mine.
informal
chap 轻快,flawless 加重,which 后换气再自嘲。
