趕到了;來了
- Hi. - Oh, you made it.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 2 / 15 章 · 2'55" · B1
豪宅裡一陣寒暄,來訪的親戚先說不願 impose(添麻煩),又解釋已在萬豪訂房。主人堅持讓辦公室把酒店賬單轉過來;後面一句 We're flush(手頭寬裕)把借錢的話頭擋回去。想學怎麼把客氣和拒絕說得體面,這幾句都用得上。
一對夫婦到豪宅做客,寒暄還沒完,就被屋裡的氣派震住了:一句 Hell of a place(相當了不得的地方)是真心誇,也是拉開差距的感嘆。聊到住宿,客人先說不願 impose(添麻煩),主人卻堅持讓辦公室把酒店賬單轉到自己這邊,客氣來回裡全是分寸。今晚這頓沒約成;後面一句 We're flush(手頭寬裕)把借錢的話頭擋了回去。學這幾句,可以在走親訪友、接待客人、婉拒好意時把話說得熱絡又不失禮。

客人剛進門,抬頭打量這間豪宅,用半驚歎半打趣的口氣甩出一句 hell of a place,誇房子氣派,話裡帶著羨慕,主人只淡淡接住。
Hell of a place you got. Thank you.Hell of a 常擠成一串,像一口氣帶過,別逐詞頓開。

主人聽說客人訂了酒店,馬上安排辦公室去聯絡,一句 forward us the bill 把賬單轉過來,語氣像在處理一件小事。

主人盤算帶客人去哪家餐廳,先提一家又改口提另一家,說到對方會 get a kick out of that 時語氣變輕快,熱情裡帶點忙亂。
I mean, or Daniel. I mean-- They'd get a kick out of that. Yeah, absolutely.get a 快說時 t 輕彈一下,直接滑進 a,別切成硬塊。
I mean, or Daniel. I mean-- They'd get a kick out of that. Yeah, absolutely.請某人出去(吃飯)

Is there a little girls' room? Just down the hall.從哪兒找來他 不是“和他一起想出”,這裡指她從哪兒認識、找來這個人。
Where did she come up with him? I always feel so guilty around Ginger.We have so much to catch up on. Can't wait for you to show us New York.我們有太多近況要補,等不及讓你帶我們逛紐約了。 客套裡把補聊和帶路綁在一起,熱絡裡藏著要求。
Please, you're our guests. I insist.拜託,你們是我們的客人。這筆我來付。 客氣話帶一點不容拒絕,體面地把賬單接過去。
Don't worry, I don't need to borrow money. We're flush.別擔心,我不是來借錢的。我們手頭寬裕。 先堵住借錢猜測,再用 flush 亮底氣,逞強感很足。
We've got to make sure we make their stay extra nice.我們得確保把他們的逗留安排得格外周到。 兩個 make 連著,熱情裡透出必須撐住場面的負擔。
意思是「相當了不得的地方」,用來誇一個地方很氣派。臺詞裡 Hell of a place you got 就是在感嘆「你這房子可真氣派」,語氣比普通誇獎更重。
不是。這裡的 flush 是「手頭寬裕」,一句 We're flush 就是告訴對方自己有錢、不用借錢。別和廁所沖水的 flush 搞混。
可以說 I don't wanna impose。impose 是「添麻煩;打擾」,去別人家住、請人幫忙前先來一句,顯得很有分寸。
語氣很堅持,接近「不容你再推」。一句 I insist 就是不讓對方再客氣,常見於搶著買單、請客吃飯。
用 get a kick out of,意思是「從…得到樂趣」。臺詞裡 They'd get a kick out of that 就是說「他們會覺得那很帶勁」,說的是帶客人去餐廳這類安排。
