提建議:你何不……
Why don't you sit down?Bombshell · 2019 — 第 5 / 12 章 · 2'15" · B2
凱拉被叫進辦公室,對方先誇她身材,接著一句 cut both ways(對雙方都成立),再說可以 pluck you out(把你單獨挑出來)提到隊伍最前面——聽著像講保密,其實是在施壓。職場裡遇到這種先給糖再提條件的談話,這兩句都用得上。
凱拉被叫進辦公室,對方先誇她身材,接著用 cut both ways(對雙方都成立)把保密說成雙向約束,又用 discreet, but unforgiving(嘴嚴,但絕不饒人)把軟硬兼施說透,再問她明不明白,隨後丟擲條件:可以 pluck you out(把你單獨挑出來),直接提到隊伍最前面;但交換條件是忠誠。遇到面試、談升職或要跟強勢的人談條件時,這幾句能幫你聽懂話裡的壓力。
這場戲看什麼
留意這幾個短語
I'd appreciate it ifhere to helpcut both waysdiscreet, but unforgiving
本章短語
對雙方都成立,雙向的works in both directions, for better or worse
對方答應保密後,緊接著補上一句 cut both ways,意思是這條保密規矩對雙方都成立,像在互相牽制。
Careful — the same rule can cut both ways.小心,同一條規矩對雙方都成立。
客氣地請人做或不做某事
來幫忙的
嘴嚴,但絕不饒人
聽懂我的意思了嗎
把你單獨挑出來

提建議:你何不……
Why don't you sit down?如果……我會很感激;客氣請求
I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this...形式賓語:it 是形式賓語,真正的請求在 if 從句裡;didn't 用過去式,語氣更客氣。
I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this...快說時 appreciate it if 黏成一串,t 只輕碰一下,別等一個清楚的 t。
I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this...只有你我兩人知道,絕不外傳
It would just sound... Anything that happens here, in this room, is strictly between you and me.定語從句:anything 後用 that 從句限定範圍,中間插入 in this room 只是補地點。
It would just sound... Anything that happens here, in this room, is strictly between you and me.and 只剩一個很輕的 n,三個詞一口氣帶過,別把它讀滿。
It would just sound... Anything that happens here, in this room, is strictly between you and me.在電視這一行混出名堂
Success in broadcast television is hard. It's arbitrary.全世界競爭最激烈的行業
This is the most competitive industry on earth.重音壓在 most 和 competitive 上,industry on earth 順勢滑下去。
This is the most competitive industry on earth.共事、合作
We could work together.一路提到最前面 這裡不是真排隊,說的是職場裡的晉升順序
I could pluck you out and move you all the way to the front of the line.要點回報、要個交換條件
But I want something in return.需要確認……
I need to know that you're loyal.複合賓語:need 後接『人 + to do』,you 是賓語,to find 說明要你做什麼。
I need you to find a way to prove it.把這事想一想
You think about that, all right?帶你出去、給你指路 這裡是讓人送客,也等於宣佈談話結束
Faye can show you the way out.I'm here to help my employees, not hurt them.我來這兒是為了幫員工,不是害他們。 help 與 hurt 對舉,把自己包裝成保護者,越溫和越像威脅。
I could pluck you out and move you all the way to the front of the line.我可以把你單獨挑出來,一路提到最前面。 把提拔說成隨手一挑,禮物感和輕慢感同時出現。
But I want something in return.但我想要點回報。 短句,卻把前面的『幫忙』當場改寫成交易。
I need to know that you're loyal.我需要確認你是忠誠的。 把抽象忠誠變成必須確認的條件,話不重,壓力很實。
I need you to find a way to prove it.我需要你想辦法證明這一點。 不說明怎麼證明,把難題反手推給對方,壓迫感全在留白裡。
意思是「對雙方都成立」。臺詞裡有人說 Of course, it cuts both ways.,後面緊跟一句 I'm discreet, but unforgiving.(嘴嚴,但絕不饒人)——聽著像在提醒對方,保密不只約束一方。
可以用 pluck you out。臺詞裡說 I could pluck you out and move you all the way to the front of the line.,就是「把你單獨挑出來,一路提到最前面」。
語氣客氣,比直接下命令軟得多,請人做事或請人別說出去都能用。臺詞裡說的是 I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this...,就是請對方別把這件事說出去。
意思是「嘴嚴,但絕不饒人」。臺詞裡先說自己嘴嚴,馬上補上 unforgiving,等於把保密和報復放在一起說,讓對方別冒險。
可以說 find a way to。臺詞裡說 I need you to find a way to prove it.,就是「我需要你想辦法證明給我看」。
