賭場參觀點破黑幫:right off the bat

翻新後的海洋廳裡,有人指著石膏浮雕講錯視畫,一句 right off the bat(一上來,立刻)把省下的五千萬說得像白撿;介紹到吧檯邊那幾位,有人直接問 You mean the Mob?(黑手黨?),回答只說他們是生意人。想學怎麼把大話講得漂亮、把敏感關係說得體面,這幾句值得反覆聽。

發生了什麼

翻新後的海洋廳裡,有人帶著客人參觀,指著石膏浮雕講錯視畫法,又用 right off the bat(一上來,立刻)誇自己一齣手就替對方省下五千萬;話頭轉到吧檯,那邊坐著的人被說成經營全美最大賭場的人。有人問是不是 the Mob(黑手黨,有組織犯罪集團),回答只說他們是生意人,還提醒要 delicate(要拿捏分寸)。從展示成果、談敏感關係,到把謝赫·阿卜杜拉介紹給大家,這一整段都是商務社交裡的高頻場景。

  • What's everybody scared of? — 句尾上揚,scared 重讀,其餘快帶
Saved you $50 million. Look at me. $50 million, right off the bat, like that Right off the bat.

給你省了五千萬。看我。五千萬,一上來,就這麼一下,一上來。 數字疊加加重複,炫耀節奏強,right off the bat 有江湖氣。

You mean the Mob?

你是說黑手黨? 三個詞戳破 businessmen 的體面說法,短、直、帶不信。

Those guys over there? They don't scare me.

那邊那些人?他們嚇不倒我。 先反問再短句否定,逞強和輕蔑都在這口氣裡。

It's a sign of disrespect to talk, uh, business on the first meeting.

第一次見面就談生意,是不尊重。 把談判規矩說成禮節,客氣話裡全是控制。

關於這一章的問題

right off the bat 是什麼意思?

意思是「一上來,立刻」。臺詞裡有人誇自己一齣手就替對方省下五千萬,用的就是這個說法;想表達某事一開始就發生,也可以用它。

「黑手黨」英語怎麼說?

可以說 the Mob,指黑手黨或有組織犯罪集團。臺詞裡有人問「你是說黑手黨?」,對方接著強調他們是生意人,用的就是這個詞。

「掃興的人」英語怎麼說?

口語裡說 party pooper。臺詞裡有人先怪某個人掃興,緊接著又說他太沒勁,兩個說法連著出現。

I'm not sure that's such a good idea 語氣重嗎?

不重,這是委婉表示反對,比直接拒絕軟得多。臺詞裡有人用這句話表示這主意不太妙,緊接著又有一句說要先商量。

「要拿捏分寸」英語怎麼說?

可以說 be delicate。臺詞裡提醒「你得講究點分寸」,用的詞就是 delicate;談敏感話題、處理關係時都能用。
