新來的女生
Okay. New girl's up. Kayla.Bombshell · 2019 — 第 2 / 12 章 · 2'16" · C1
新人剛被叫進辦公室,還沒站穩就被冷臉壓住,連“不許哭”都成了規矩。隨後有人把那個愛發火的電臺主持人稱作 perpetual outrage machine(永遠發怒的人),還教她做新聞要 frighten, titillate(先嚇人,再撩撥)。想聽懂職場冷嘲和媒體黑話,這兩句夠用。
凱拉被叫去面試,剛開口談自己早上聽來的電臺評論,場面裡緊跟著一句 Is she the best you can do?(你就只能找到這種貨色?)。隨後有人安慰她不會被開除,接著有人把那個愛發火的電臺主持人稱作 perpetual outrage machine(永遠發怒的人)。有人教她做新聞要 frighten, titillate(先嚇人,再撩撥)。找不到訊息源,就寫 Some are saying(有人說);一上來要有一個 clear villain(明確的反派)。這些說法把職場裡的輕視、媒體操作和甩鍋話術講得很直白,面試、開會、吐槽新聞時都能碰到。

Okay, let's not lose focus. Back to immigration.定語從句:省略 that 的定語從句,修飾 the only job;ever 加強‘從來’的語氣。

對方剛說那些瘋子愛他,緊接著補一句 No offense to your family,想先把可能冒犯凱拉全家的話兜住。
That's why crazies love him. No offense to your family.瘋子們——帶貶義的口語,別當面叫人家 crazies
That's why crazies love him. No offense to your family.站在漢尼提一邊 字面是同隊,這裡指同一政治陣營

You're the last defense強調 do:do 放在動詞前表強調:‘你確實信一部分吧’;不是助動詞提問,也不是否定。
You do believe some of that, right?重音壓在 do 上,表示‘確實信’,別把 do 弱讀
You do believe some of that, right?This is the only job I have ever wanted.這是我唯一想要的工作。 把職業渴望說得近乎告白,簡單句裡全是害怕失去的勁。
Fox is how we do church.福克斯就是我們的教堂。 把看電視說成做禮拜,一句話點破媒體信仰和家庭儀式。
He's a perpetual outrage machine.他就是一臺永不熄火的憤怒機器。 用機器比喻把人的憤怒寫成永動機,冷幽默又準確。
You have to adopt the mentality of an Irish street cop.你得采用愛爾蘭街頭警察的心態。 把新聞判斷講成一種街頭生存術,荒誕卻好記。
If you can't source it, just go with, Some are saying.如果找不到來源,就用‘有人說’帶過去。 新聞操守被一句‘有人說’輕輕繞過,cynical 得很地道。
Ask yourself, What would scare my grandmother, or piss off my grandfather?問問自己:什麼會嚇到我奶奶,或者惹火我爺爺? 用爺爺奶奶當恐懼測試,把政治宣傳還原成家務式口訣。
字面是「永不停歇的憤怒機器」,臺詞裡用來形容一個人總是在發火、像一臺靠憤怒運轉的機器。可以說 He's a perpetual outrage machine,中文常譯「永遠發怒的人」。
可以用 give her a try。臺詞裡有人請求給新人一個機會,用的就是這個片語;面試或試用新人時都能說。
scale 在這裡是「調節、調整幅度」,scale his anger 就是「調節怒氣大小」。臺詞裡 He cannot scale his anger 是說他的火氣收不住、沒輕沒重。
可以說 frighten, titillate。臺詞裡有人重複 Frighten, titillate,用來概括一種新聞套路:先用可怕的內容嚇住人,再用刺激的內容撩撥人。
用 no offense to your family。臺詞裡剛說完「瘋子愛他」,馬上補一句 No offense to your family,就是「無意冒犯你家人」,用來緩和可能得罪人的說法。
