為赴宴在電話裡吵翻:the life of the party

家裡電話響個不停,一個人想攔對方接聽,電話那頭卻堅持要加人,還丟擲一句 It's international cultural protocol(這是國際文化禮節)。吵到一半,又有人自稱 the life of the party(派對靈魂人物)。想學怎麼用場面話擋人、怎麼在電話裡搶話,這幾句都用得上。

發生了什麼

家裡的電話一場接一場:有人想把對方攔下來,不讓接聽;電話那頭卻堅持加人,還用 It's international cultural protocol(這是國際文化禮節)當理由。隨後又有人喊 get off the extension(掛掉分機,別再聽),要把旁聽的人趕下線。等電話那頭報出卡邁恩的名字,聊的就成了今晚的聚會:一句 the life of the party(派對靈魂人物)把焦點轉到誰才是場上的主角,最後甚至搬出 an order from the mayor(市長的命令)。這些說法適合在電話裡擋人、催人掛分機、或半開玩笑地下命令時用。

聽著,我們把這事像男人一樣解決,懂嗎? 用 like men 把協商變成身份測試,壓迫感藏在 you understand 裡。

你自己跟他說。沒有你,這派對就不算派對。 先讓對方自己開口,再用 without you 把邀請說成不可缺少,抬人又留面子。

關於這一章的問題

international cultural protocol 是什麼意思?

意思是「國際文化禮節」,聽著像官方規矩。臺詞裡有人拿 It's international cultural protocol 當理由,擋回對方想去的請求。

「派對靈魂人物」英語怎麼說?

說 the life of the party。臺詞裡有人用它形容自己或別人,意思是聚會上最會活躍氣氛、大家都喜歡的人。

get off the extension 用在什麼場合?

意思是「掛掉分機,別再聽」。臺詞裡有人直接喊 get off the extension,就是叫對方別佔著分機旁聽。

「這是市長的命令」英語怎麼說?

可以說 That's an order from the mayor。臺詞裡這句話後面緊接 Goodbye,用來結束通話並要求對方照辦。

what the fuck 在這句裡是什麼意思?

是粗口「到底搞什麼鬼」,語氣很衝。臺詞裡前面剛有人提到 International protocol(國際禮節),這句等於把那套說法頂回去。

「按男人的方式處理」英語怎麼說?

說 handle this like men。臺詞裡緊接著安排帶太太來、好好玩一場,像用硬話把事定下來。
