拳賽夜吵到姐妹翻臉：slick operator

客廳裡拳賽正吵，啤酒喝個不停，茉莉只想讓人把電視調小一點。有人甩出一句 all work and no play（只工作不玩耍），也有人用 slick operator（圓滑的老手）說她丈夫。想學會不動聲色地挖苦人，這幾句都能直接搬走。

發生了什麼

客廳電視裡拳賽正熱鬧，幾個人邊喝啤酒邊看，茉莉卻想安靜學習。一開場就有人喊 keep it down（把聲音壓低，安靜點）。聊到用電腦學習，一句 no aptitude for it（對這事沒天分）說得又無奈又自嘲。有人用 all work and no play（只工作不玩耍）勸她放鬆，也有人用 slick operator（圓滑的老手）形容她丈夫。想學怎麼在聚會裡抱怨、自嘲、暗諷，這幾句都很實用。

本章短語

The new manager is a slick operator; he makes every favour sound like a gift.新經理是個圓滑老手，他把每個人情都說成禮物。

Is it possible, without ruining any of your fun, that you could lower the TV a bit?

有沒有可能，在不掃你們興的前提下，把電視聲音調低一點？ 把請求包進兩層緩衝：先問可能，再宣告不想掃興，禮貌得讓人難拒絕。

Oh. Who do I have to sleep with around here to get a Stoli martini with twist of lemon?

天，我在這兒得跟誰上床，才能換來一杯加檸檬皮的斯托利馬提尼？ 用誇張的交易口吻要酒，把不耐煩包裝成俏皮，場面立刻活了。

You know, having wealth is nothing to be ashamed of.

你知道，有錢沒什麼可羞愧的。 一句替財富卸罪的話，平靜卻帶刺；聽者馬上能感到桌上有舊賬。

I'm not gonna make it if you turn this place into a nightclub.

你要是把這兒變成夜店，我可撐不下去。 不繞彎的條件句，把快崩的狀態和具體畫面一起砸出來。

If I thought I could do better, I would. So far no one's beating my door down.

我要是覺得能找更好的，我早找了。到現在也沒人踏破我的門檻。 先自嘲再自辯，兩個短句一硬一軟，把旁人的高姿態頂回去。

關於這一章的問題

slick operator 是什麼意思？

意思是「圓滑的老手」，常指會來事、讓人有點提防的人。臺詞用它說她丈夫，還提到他勾搭她的女性朋友。

「只工作不玩耍」英語怎麼說？

可以說 all work and no play。臺詞裡就是 life ain't all work and no play，意思是生活不能光幹活不玩樂。

「很有錢」英語怎麼說？

可以說 loaded，意思是「很有錢」。臺詞問的是她有錢的時候，別人還在酒吧調酒、端盤子。

keep it down 是「繼續往下」嗎？

不是。這裡是「把聲音壓低，安靜點」，有人嫌電視和聊天太吵，才喊 keep it down。

beating my door down 字面是敲門嗎？

字面是「一直敲我的門」，實際說「踏破門檻」，指很多人爭著找上門。臺詞裡 no one's beating my door down 就是沒人上門追我。
