Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 4 / 20 章 · 2'11" · B2

朋友來電邀約去俱樂部:hook someone up

兩人邊畫路燈邊商量晚上吃什麼,電話那頭自報 Hooper here(我是胡珀),邀他去 Meow Mix(喵喵酒吧),還搬出 Alyssa 的名字;掛了電話,有人先問 So when we leavin'?(那我們什麼時候走),這邊回一句 hookin' me up with Alyssa(給我和艾莉莎牽線)。想學電話邀約和朋友抬槓,這通電話裡全是現成句子。

發生了什麼

開場兩人在趕下一期刊物,先誇一句這是畫過最好的路燈,再聊晚上是叫披薩還是看加拿大劇。電話響起,那頭自報 Hooper here(我是胡珀),說今晚有 club shindig(熱鬧聚會),自己在 Meow Mix(喵喵酒吧)臨時做 barkeep(酒保,老派說法)。這邊先說趕稿、明早還有會,一聽是 Alyssa 讓來的,馬上改口「我會去」。掛了電話,有人先問 So when we leavin'?(那我們什麼時候走),這邊才回一句 hookin' me up with Alyssa(給我和艾莉莎牽線);最後那串獨白又把 shared a moment(有過曖昧的一刻)翻來覆去說,還斷言這姑娘愛上他了。想練電話邀約、朋友間調侃抬槓,都能用上。

本章短語

hook someone up

給某人牽線搭橋set someone up with someone

有人問“我們什麼時候走”,這邊先用 We? 頂回去,再說這是一次 hook someone up(牽線)的安排——原話是 hookin' me up with Alyssa,語氣不耐煩。

A good friend can hook someone up with a job interview.好朋友能幫人牽線,安排一次面試。

本章全部批註

34 句台詞裡標了 28 處

短語 · A2one of the best + 複數名詞

最好的…之一

This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.
語法 · B1one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn

定語從句:省略 that 的定語從句修飾 streetlights,ever 與最高階連用表示“你畫過最…之一”。

This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.
短語 · A2across the street from + 地點

在…街對面

It's the one from across the street from the post offlce.
短語 · B1have a weird thing for + 名詞/人

對…有莫名偏好

有人用 got a weird thing for 打趣對方愛看加拿大情節劇,句子帶笑,不是認真批評;緊接著一句拿“aboot”的口音梗回敬,氣氛像熟人互損。

You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama.
短語 · B2a shindig is going down

要辦一場熱鬧聚會

Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.
短語 · B1really get into + 活動

會非常喜歡並投入 get into 不是“進入”,這裡指喜歡、投入

Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.
語法 · B2how you 'burb flends hate the city

賓語從句:know 後接 how 引導的賓語從句,語序是陳述句,不是 how do you hate。

Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.
發音goin' down

goin' 的 g 已省掉,快讀時直接滑到 down

Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.
短語 · B2temp as + 職位

臨時做…工作 barkeep 是酒保的老派說法

- Where is it? - Meow Mix. I'm temping as barkeep.
短語 · B1prep the next issue

準備下一期刊物 issue 這裡指刊物的一期

We're prepping the next issue. We got that stupid meeting in the morning.
短語 · B1begin and end with + 詞/說法

用…開頭又以…結尾

How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?
發音begin and end

and 常只留一個輕 n,begin 和 end 之間別斷開

How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?
短語 · B2here's the part where + 句子

接下來該你接這句了

電話裡丟擲艾莉莎的名字後,一句 here's the part where you say... 像寫劇本一樣提示對方下一句該說 “I'll be there”,語氣篤定,帶點設套。

She asked me to invite you. Now, here's the part where you say...
短語 · A2invite someone to + 活動/地點

邀我去俱樂部

- Who was that? - Hooper. He invited me to a club.
俚語 · B2chicks

姑娘們(老派俚語)——熟人隨口說,帶性別化味道,正式場合別用

Man, when's that faggot gonna learn? You like chicks.
短語 · B1not that kind of + 名詞

不是那種…

- Not that kind of club. - So when we leavin'?
短語 · B2hook someone up with someone

給我和…牽線 字面像“把…掛起來”,這裡指介紹認識

We? You can't go. He's hookin' me up with Alyssa.
短語 · B1mess something up

把…搞砸

- And? - And I don't want you messing it up.
俚語 · B2shit

破事;東西——熟人粗口,正式場合和陌生人面前別用

I care about your shit. Maybe I'll hook up myself.
短語 · B2get to be so + 形容詞

你可真會搞笑(反話)

有人剛說自己也想去,被拒絕後用一本正經的 one man 句式回敬,表面像誇好笑,實際在挖苦。句子裡的 get to be so funny 就是這股反話的落點。

How does one man get to be so funny?
短語 · A2how are you gonna get home

你打算怎麼回家

Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?
俚語 · B2hook up

搭上人;勾搭上——朋友間談約會,正式場合說 start dating

Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?
短語 · C1my + 形容詞 + chum

我這沒腦子的老友

有人不信對方能得手,被潑冷水後用舊小說腔的 my witless chum 反擊,語氣像損友鬥嘴,不是真罵。

- Like that'll happen. - Let me explain, my witless chum.
俚語 · B2Like that'll happen

才不會呢——熟人潑冷水說反話,正式場合別用

- Like that'll happen. - Let me explain, my witless chum.
短語 · B2share a moment

有過曖昧的一刻

有人結結巴巴解釋那晚和艾莉莎的關係,用 shared a moment 含糊帶過,語氣吞吞吐吐,又想把話說圓。

The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.
發音shared a moment

shared 的 d 輕輕滑進 a,moment 壓重音

The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.
短語 · C1make something abundantly clear

把…說得再清楚不過

有人把一個小小的“瞬間”說成重大發現,用 made abundantly clear 收束,像在宣佈一個不容置疑的結論,語氣一本正經。

And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.
語法 · B2one thing was made abundantly clear

被動語態:把 one thing 放句首,用 was made clear 強調“被說清楚的是這一點”。

And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.

看懂「朋友來電邀約去俱樂部」

發音重點

  • goin' down — goin' 的 g 已省掉,快讀時直接滑到 down
  • begin and end — and 常只留一個輕 n,begin 和 end 之間別斷開
  • shared a moment — shared 的 d 輕輕滑進 a,moment 壓重音
How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?

你怎麼能用同一個詞開頭又結尾來問問題? 當場拆穿對方重複用詞的怪問法,像調侃又像佩服,語感很活。

I care about your shit. Maybe I'll hook up myself.

我是在乎你那點破事的。說不定我自己也能搭上一個。 先認下對方的感情,再用 Maybe I'll hook up myself 把話題搶回自己,損友式轉折很利落。

How does one man get to be so funny?

一個人怎麼能這麼好笑? 用 one man 的正式腔包裝挖苦,表面誇好笑,實際說你可真可笑。

The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.

那天晚上,我們倆,艾莉莎和我,我們,呃,算是,有過一刻。 結巴的插入語把心虛演出來,最後 we shared a moment 又突然鄭重,語氣落差很好笑。

And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.

就在那一刻,有一件事變得再清楚不過。 用被動和 abundantly 把私人小事說成鄭重宣告,越正經越好笑。

關於這一章的問題

hook someone up 是什麼意思?

給某人牽線搭橋,介紹物件。臺詞裡說 He's hookin' me up with Alyssa,就是有人要撮合他和艾莉莎,所以帶個朋友去才不合適。

「對…有莫名偏好」英語怎麼說?

got a weird thing for。臺詞裡有人說 You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama,意思是「你對加拿大苦情劇有股莫名的著迷」。

here's the part where 在這裡指什麼?

字面是「接下來就是…的那部分」,實際是把話遞到對方嘴邊:說完 She asked me to invite you(她讓我來請你)就接這句,等於「你現在該說『我去』了」。

barkeep 是什麼工作?

酒保,一個老派說法。臺詞裡說自己 temping as barkeep,是臨時在酒吧做這份工,不是長期幹。

shared a moment 是表白嗎?

不算正式表白。shared a moment 字面是「共享了一個瞬間」,實際指兩人有過一段曖昧、特別的時刻,比普通聊天更進一步;臺詞裡說完這句,緊接著就斷言「這姑娘愛上我了」。

「你可真會搞笑」英語怎麼說?

get to be so funny,整句是 How does one man get to be so funny? 字面像在問「一個人怎麼能這麼逗」,實際是反話,不是在誇對方幽默。
