頭等艙來投奔:splurge from habit

有人拖著名牌行李箱遲到進門,先道歉,轉頭坦白 I'm dead broke(身無分文),卻還是坐頭等艙來的。被追問時一句 I splurge from habit(我習慣性大手大腳),把沒錢還亂花說成改不掉的老毛病。想聊手頭緊還忍不住花,或自嘲花錢成習慣,這兩句都用得上。

發生了什麼

有人拖著名牌舊箱子遲到進門,和屋裡的人寒暄,孩子們在旁邊吵鬧。她先說自己得暫住一陣,接著承認 I'm dead broke(身無分文)。對方問她是不是坐了頭等艙,她提到 I've run up some serious debts(欠下大筆債),被追問怎麼飛的,只回一句 I splurge from habit(習慣性大手大腳)。對方再追問行李,她解釋說舊箱子刻著自己名字縮寫,沒人會要。想說明手頭緊、債臺高築,或自嘲花錢成習慣,這幾句都很實用。

  • did you — did you 快說時黏成一團,別逐詞分開念。
But I'm dead broke. Really, the government took everything.

可我真的一貧如洗。真的,政府把一切都拿走了。 dead broke 比 poor 更口語,後面補一句具體歸因,慘得有畫面。

I really get some bad thoughts when I'm alone.

我一個人待著的時候,真的會冒出一些很糟的念頭。 把脆弱說得直白但不煽情,bad thoughts 留白,讓聽者自己補重量。

I don't know how anyone puts up with those airlines.

我真不知道怎麼會有人受得了那些航空公司。 抱怨不說服務差,用 put up with 把‘忍受’說出來,像真被折騰過。

I thought you were tapped out. I'm worse than tapped out, baby.

我以為你只是錢花光了。我比花光還慘,寶貝。 tapped out 被對方複述後立刻加碼,worse than 把窘迫變成一句冷幽默。

You know me. I splurge from habit.

你瞭解我。我大手大腳是習慣。 splurge from habit 把揮霍說成改不掉的老毛病,比 I like shopping 更準。

關於這一章的問題

dead broke 是什麼意思?

意思是「身無分文」,形容一點錢都沒有。臺詞裡有人說 But I'm dead broke(我身無分文),後面還接 the government took everything(政府把什麼都拿走了),說明錢被拿走、手頭空了。

「習慣性大手大腳」英語怎麼說?

可以說 splurge from habit。臺詞裡有人解釋自己沒錢還坐頭等艙,說 You know me(你瞭解我),又說 I splurge from habit(我習慣性大手大腳),意思是花錢大手大腳已經成了習慣。

I'm worse than tapped out 語氣強在哪?

tapped out 是「錢花光了」;I'm worse than tapped out 等於說比「錢花光」還慘,後面接 baby(寶貝),語氣更重。

homey 是誇房子好嗎?

homey 是「像家一樣溫馨」,通常是誇獎;但這裡說完,對方緊接一句 Are you kidding me?(你開玩笑吧?),好話沒被接住,就帶出了反諷的味道。

「忍受」英語怎麼說?

可以說 puts up with。臺詞裡有人抱怨航空公司,說 I don't know how anyone puts up with those airlines,就是「真不知道誰能受得了這些航空公司」。
