Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 18 / 20 章 · 4'38" · C1

三人被叫來聽三人行提議:kill two birds with one stone

三個人被叫到一起,一個人翻來覆去分析後,丟擲「我們三個一起上床」。先前有人用 kill two birds with one stone(一趟辦成兩件事)猜他的算盤,後來他又勸對方 take that leap(下決心邁出那一步)。想把兩件事一趟辦完,或勸人勇敢跨一步,這兩句都能直接用。

發生了什麼

三個人被叫到一起,原本各自都有賬要算。有人以為這是一箭雙鵰:當著另一個人的面把話講絕,省得回頭再解釋。發起談話的人承認兩邊多多少少都怪自己:一邊說自己覺得不夠格、跟艾莉莎卡住了,一邊提到對方還想讓他在漫畫那件事上 sign off on(點頭批准)。最後他丟擲三個人一起上床的提議,說這樣一切都能解決。kill two birds with one stone 是一趟辦成兩件事;sign off on 是點頭批准、正式放行;take that leap 是下決心邁出那一步。想表達順手辦兩件事、批准方案或勸人勇敢跨一步,都能用。

62 句台詞裡標了 29 處

短語 · B2hit a wall

卡住,推不動了

Alyssa, you and I have hit a wall...
短語 · B2a nice way of putting it

說得倒好聽(未必同意) 這是反著說的:客氣的是措辭,不客氣的是態度

下決心邁出那一步

說到班基,他把這個提議包裝成一次成長:別人都看出你該 take that leap,就差你自己邁出那一步。

Banky, you can take that leap...

從句套從句:that 從句修飾前面的 leap,裡面 sees 後面又跟 you should take,兩層拆開才通。

彼此是對方的全部

We've been everything to each other but intimates, and now we'll have been through that together too.
語法 · B2all that hostility you feel toward Alyssa

發音do ya say

do ya 糊成一小團,拍子落到句尾的 say 上

What do ya say?

看懂「三人被叫來聽三人行提議」

發音重點

  • asked you here — asked you 快說時擠成一塊,別在兩詞之間停
  • let me — let me 中段常被吞掉,聽著像一個詞,別拆開念
  • pretty small — small 要壓重,和前面的 a big life 頂著來
  • do ya say — do ya 糊成一小團,拍子落到句尾的 say 上
You're in love with me.

你愛上我了。 五個字替對方把秘密說出口;鋪墊越久,這句越像當眾拆彈。

What does one have to do with the other?

這兩件事有什麼關係? 他先把聽眾心裡那句疑問替他們說出口,再拿它當話頭,引到自己的歪理上。

We've all gotta have sex together.

我們三個得一起上床。 把最荒唐的結論用最平常的口氣說出來,笑點全在這份坦然。

That would take care of everything.

這樣一切就都解決了。 輕飄飄一句「全都解決」,把前面長的分析一口收進假答案裡。

We've been everything to each other but intimates, and now we'll have been through that together too.

我們什麼都是,就是沒上過床;現在這一關也一起過了。 用「什麼都是,唯獨不是情人」的對仗,把越界說成補齊最後一塊。

關於這一章的問題

kill two birds with one stone 是什麼意思?

就是「一趟辦成兩件事」,用一次行動同時解決兩個問題。臺詞裡有人猜,把兩個人同時叫來,是為了省得回頭再講一遍。

「點頭批准」英語怎麼說?

可以用 sign off on。臺詞裡有人對班基說 you want me to sign off on this cartoon thing,意思是班基要對方正式點頭放行那部動畫。

hit a wall 在這裡是「撞牆」嗎?

不是真的撞牆,是「卡住,推不動了」。臺詞裡說兩個人之間 hit a wall,意思是在對方的過去這件事上卡住了,談不下去。

soul-searching 是什麼狀態?

是「認真自省,拷問內心」,把一件事翻來覆去想清楚。臺詞裡說做過 serious soul-searching 之後,答案突然冒出來。

「下決心邁出那一步」英語怎麼說?

說 take that leap。劇裡有人勸對方 take that leap,就是讓他勇敢跨出自己一直沒跨的那一步。
