這場戲：被嫌慢動作的菜鳥首秀
第 14 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'08"
訓練場上，教練嫌庫爾特出手太慢，一句 You look like you're movin' in slow motion（你看著像在放慢動作）把他釘在原地。到了得梅因的室內球場，他第一次首發，解說還在問 Let's see if he's got any of that cowboy still in him（看看他骨子裡還留著幾分牛仔勁頭）。想學催進度、看球賽的地道說法，句句帶勁。

訓練場上，庫爾特被教練催得團團轉：Pull the trigger（果斷出手），Come on, Warner。教練嫌他 You look like you're movin' in slow motion（你看著像在放慢動作），還叮囑他 You gotta get rid of the ball（你得趕緊把球出手）。他問隊友 where on earth do we play（我們到底在哪兒比賽），才知道要打的是得梅因的室內球場。首秀那天，解說介紹他 He had quite a reputation for being a gunslinger（他以敢打敢衝的槍手作風聞名），還問 Let's see if he's got any of that cowboy still in him（看看他骨子裡還留著幾分牛仔勁頭）。想學催人、夸人和看球賽的說法，資訊量很足。

“You look like you're movin' in slow motion.”
你看起來就像在放慢動作。
一句話把新人跟不上節奏的窘態說透，畫面比一句 too slow 生動得多。
look like you're moving in slow motion
形容某人反應或進度慢半拍時能用；當面說帶調侃，別對上司講。
you're a step behind ／ you're playing catch-up
口語
重音落 motion，movin' 吞掉 g，語氣帶笑。
With that deadline, our team looks like it's moving in slow motion. 照這個截止日期，我們團隊像在放慢動作。
“Pain feels good, don't it? Pain feels good, baby!”
疼才叫爽，對吧？疼才叫爽，寶貝！
把訓練的疼說成享受，用反問 don't it 逼對方認賬，狂得有勁。
X feels good, doesn't it?
熟人之間自誇或互相打氣時用；正式場合和長輩面前別說這種狂話。
that hurts so good ／ pain is gain, baby
口語
feels good 連讀，don't it 快速帶過，baby 上揚。
That burn feels good, doesn't it? One more set. 這股酸爽挺帶勁吧？再來一組。
“Let's see if he's got any of that cowboy still in him.”
看看他骨子裡還留著幾分牛仔的勁頭。
用 cowboy 概括一種敢冒險的氣質，一句懸念就把新人的看點立住。
let's see if someone still has any of that X in them
打量某人還剩幾分舊本事時能說；對陌生人用略輕慢，注意場合。
let's see if he's still got it ／ we'll find out if the fire is still there
中性
got any of 連讀，cowboy 重讀，still in him 壓低。
Let's see if the old coach still has any of that fire in him. 看看這位老教練心裡還有沒有那團火。
“You can't touch me, boy.”
你根本碰不到我，小子。
球場上的垃圾話，短、狠、帶節奏，一句就把老將的輕蔑和自信頂到對面臉上。
You can't touch me, ...
在競技或玩笑裡放狠話時能用；職場或陌生人面前說會直接結仇，別用。
You can't get near me, kid. ／ You're not quick enough to touch me.
口語
can't touch 連讀，me 重讀，boy 一壓。
Come on, you can't touch me, boy. 來啊，你根本碰不到我，小子。
下一章 · 15buy someone time爭取時間這場戲：首秀先挨噓再連送達陣字面是「扣扳機」，常引申為「果斷出手、別再猶豫」。教練喊 Pull the trigger，就是催庫爾特下定決心趕緊傳球。
in slow motion。教練說 You look like you're movin' in slow motion，就是「你看著跟放慢動作似的」，嫌他太慢。
用來加強疑問語氣，意思是「到底、究竟」。where on earth do we play 就是「我們到底在哪兒比賽」。
out in force。解說員說 The crazies are out in force tonight，就是「今晚瘋狂球迷全員出動了」。
指「以…出名、名聲在外」。解說介紹庫爾特 He had quite a reputation for being a gunslinger，就是「他以敢打敢衝的槍手作風聞名」。
