舉杯吹捧談重建:back on its feet

有人舉杯把艾文一頓猛誇,說他要帶謝赫去大西洋城,讓這個州 back on its feet(恢復元氣)。等話頭轉到謝赫的行程,又問 how far his dollar will go(錢能辦多少事),場面話裡立刻露出算盤。想學動員式場面話和談生意的委婉說法,這段夠用。

發生了什麼

有人舉杯把艾文捧成能帶謝赫去大西洋城、讓社群和州 back on its feet(恢復元氣)的人,還許諾 put everybody back to work(讓所有人重新上崗)。隨後話頭轉到謝赫的行程,提出帶謝赫去看卡姆登,也說到 how far his dollar will go(錢能辦多少事),場面話裡的生意算盤就露了出來。學這三句,一是能在動員場合說重建,二是談就業,三是委婉衡量一筆錢能辦多少事。

He's gonna get this community, he's gonna get this state, back on its feet to where it belongs.

The people I serve. The people I love.

我服務的人民。我熱愛的人民。 兩個短句並置,把官話 serve 和私情 love 扣在一起。

And he can see how far his dollar will go.

而且他能看到自己的錢能辦多大事。 用距離量錢,把投資回報說得具體又不露骨。

And you specifically bought this science oven for me?

你特意為我買了這個科學烤箱? 把微波爐叫 science oven,認真追問裡帶出冷幽默。

關於這一章的問題

back on its feet 是什麼意思?

這裡是「恢復元氣」的意思,臺詞裡說讓社群和州回到該有的樣子、重新站起來,就是經濟和生活回到正軌。

「讓所有人重新上崗」英語怎麼說?

可以說 put everybody back to work(讓所有人重新上崗)。同一句臺詞裡還有 rebuild all those resorts(重建那些度假村),說的就是靠工程讓大夥重新有活幹。

how far his dollar will go 是在問錢能撐多久嗎?

不是單問時間,更接近「錢能辦多少事」。臺詞裡說讓謝赫看看社群為機會準備得多充分,也看看他的錢能發揮多大作用。

work out 在這裡是健身的意思嗎?

不是,這裡的 work out 是「順利成功」。有人擔心事情沒辦成,另一句馬上說 of course it's gonna work out(當然會成)。

science oven 指的是什麼?

是臺詞裡對微波爐的叫法,字面是「科學烤箱」。有人說 It's a microwave(這是微波爐),它什麼都能加熱;接著一句 science oven 就用上了這個叫法。
