好友逼問這段關係:throw down the gauntlet

辦公室裡,一個人劈頭就問對方和那個女孩到底怎麼回事;一句 She's programming you(她在給你洗腦),火氣立刻點著。吵到後面又甩出 throw down the gauntlet(下戰書),等於撂話逼你二選一。想學怎麼把重話說出口、又不只靠髒話,這幾句很夠用。

發生了什麼

辦公室裡,兩個人從手上的活吵到感情:一個劈頭就問對方和那個女孩到底怎麼回事,甩出 She's programming you(她在給你洗腦),又用 passive-aggressive(消極抵抗的;暗裡帶刺的)形容這種話,還嫌對方骨子裡並不歧視人卻偏要這樣講話。對方反問這能證明什麼;吵到後面,一個用十字路口和百元大鈔做假設,說另外三個選項全是他自己想像出來的,接著一句 have no shot at(根本沒機會)把話釘死,又撂下 throw down the gauntlet(下戰書),意思是「要麼我,要麼她」。最後對方承認自己愛上了她。想學朋友吵架怎麼步步升級、怎麼把話說狠,這些說法日常都用得上。

Most persistent traveler on the road. That's not the path of least resistance.

路上最執著的旅人。那可不是最省力的那條路。 用旅人比喻接 path of least resistance,把“你總挑難路”說得像判詞。

Everything's gotta be a fuckin' challenge for you.

對你來說,什麼事都非得他媽是個挑戰。 gotta be a challenge 把性格抱怨壓縮成一句,髒話加重了無奈和火氣。

This relationship is affecting you, our work and our friendship.

這段關係正在影響你、我們的工作和我們的友誼。 三項並列把私人關係攤到工作和友情上,冷靜得像最後通牒。

因為我他媽愛上她了,老兄,行了吧? 粗口和告白擠在一句裡,越不體面越像被逼出來的真話。

關於這一章的問題

throw down the gauntlet 是什麼意思?

意思是「下戰書」或「攤牌」,表示正式向對方發出挑戰。臺詞裡說總有一天要 throw down the gauntlet,再補一句「要麼我,要麼她」,就是把話撂明、逼對方選邊。

「根本沒機會」英語怎麼說?

可以說 have no shot at。臺詞裡 You know you have no shot at getting her into bed! 就是在說:你根本沒機會把她弄上床。

「最省力的做法」英語怎麼說?

是 the path of least resistance。臺詞裡說 That's not the path of least resistance,意思是你偏不走最省事的那條路。

programming you 是在說寫程式嗎?

不是。這裡 programming you 是「給你洗腦/操控你」的意思,指對方覺得那女孩在影響他的想法。前一句還在說 We're just friends,可見這是句帶火氣的指控。

what a shock 是真心覺得驚訝嗎?

多半是反諷。臺詞裡 Oh, what a shock 後面緊跟一句「根本不可能」,連起來就是「喲真意外啊」,並不是真驚訝。
