意外得到一筆錢
有人讓奧吉講中獎經過,語氣興奮又賣關子;come into money 聽來像繼承,實際是彩票橫財。
We came into some money. Tell him how, Augie.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 3 / 15 章 · 2'45" · B2
有人買彩票中了二十萬,正興奮地講中獎經過,對面卻丟擲 low-risk, but very high-yield(低風險、高回報)的說法,勸他把錢投進加勒比酒店專案。聽到 Am I right?(對吧?)和 make a killing(大賺一筆),就知道這是在勸人投錢。
有人買彩票中了二十萬,興沖沖講起自己以前當救生員、每週攢錢,旁邊還有人補一句他中獎時手都在抖。說著說著,話題從慶祝變成投資:對方丟擲 low-risk, but very high-yield(低風險、高回報)的說法,回報不是百分之六七,而是百分之二十,專案是加勒比的一批酒店;有人用 You need money to make money. Am I right?(錢生錢嘛,對吧?)幫腔,也有人勸 make a killing(大賺一筆),話裡話外都是別錯過這個機會。想聽懂聚會上的投資勸說、勸人入局,這幾句都用得上。

有人把中獎說成 once-in-a-lifetime,先反問“我?”,再說你該親眼看看她當時的樣子,我非得告訴她這是千載難逢,語氣興奮,帶著替自己辯解的味道。
Me? You had to see her. I had to tell her, this is a once-in-a-lifetime.對某事一竅不通

It'd be great for them. Make a killing.休一天假
Tomorrow I'm taking the day off.盡本分
Here, for doing your duty.省略句:前面省略了 That's,只留 Not bad taste,口語裡更輕快,也更像順口打趣。
Not bad taste for a philistine businessman, huh?重音壓 bad 和 taste,句尾 huh 輕挑收住
Not bad taste for a philistine businessman, huh?I never held that kind of money in my hands. I mean, ever.我手裡從沒拿過那麼多錢。我是說,從來沒有。 重複 ever 把一輩子沒碰過這麼多錢的震撼說透。
I'm not talking about 6 or 7 percent. I'm talking about 20 percent.我說的不是百分之六或七,而是百分之二十。 兩個數字對比加重複句式,像推銷員把誘餌一步步抬高。
You need money to make money. Am I right?你得有錢才能賺錢。對吧? 把資本邏輯說成常識,再用反問逼在場人點頭。
It'd be great for them. Make a killing.這對他們再好不過。能大賺一筆。 用輕巧口吻把暴利說成順帶好事,推手姿態全出來了。
Not bad taste for a philistine businessman, huh?對一個沒品位的商人來說,品味還不錯,是吧? 先誇後損再反問,熟人間的反諷恭維一句到位。
意思是「大賺一筆」。臺詞裡 Make a killing 說的是他們能靠這個專案大賺一筆,是在勸人別錯過機會。
說 low-risk, but very high-yield。臺詞裡有人用它形容一個投資專案,回報不是百分之六七,而是百分之二十;隨後又提到加勒比的一批酒店。
意思是「一輩子就一次」。有人說 this is a once-in-a-lifetime,用來強調眼前這個機會極其難得,錯過就不會再有。
用 come into money。臺詞裡 We came into some money 就是「我們意外得了一筆錢」,後面講起買彩票中獎,說的就是這筆錢。
它不是認真求答案,而是邊說邊拉對方認同,類似「對吧?」。You need money to make money. Am I right? 就是拿聽起來很在理的話推人點頭。
字面是「沒品位的商人」。但緊跟著前一句有人誇禮物漂亮,這句更像拿這個標籤反著打趣:嘴上貶人沒品味,實際在誇禮物挑得好,不是真罵。
