Clerks II · 2006 — 第 7 / 17 章 · 2'42" · B2

為送別禮訂人驢秀:at its finest

給即將離開的但丁挑送別禮,一個人認真推薦精靈公主佩劍,另一個卻要訂一場成人秀;聽到「那是人獸交」時,一句 at its finest(處於最佳狀態)把荒唐說成最高階。想學怎麼用英語張羅送別、打電話訂演出,fingers crossed(但願好運)也用得上。

發生了什麼

有人被問在忙什麼,說要給即將離開的但丁準備 going away present(告別禮物);禮物從精靈公主佩劍一路聊到成人秀。聽到「那是人獸交」的說法,回一句 at its finest(處於最佳狀態),荒唐裡帶著反諷。為了訂下當晚演出,還得藉手機、打電話,電話那頭讓人等候時,一句 fingers crossed(但願好運)正是等回覆時的口頭禪。送別、諷刺和祝好運這幾類場景,都能直接搬用這些說法。

The office printer is at its finest when it jams on a deadline.辦公室印表機在截止日期卡紙時,真是處於最佳狀態。

有人先丟擲精靈公主劍當禮物,另一人嫌不夠勁,這邊再用一句 what's sexier than(還有什麼比…更性感)反問,語氣像認真比較,其實是拿荒唐選項抬槓。

時間狀語從句:before 引出離開前的時間點,後面三個動作並列,把最後機會說得很誇張。

And it'd be nice to give him this before he goes off to Florida and gets married and does all those other things that prevent a guy from ever seeing a fucked-up donkey show in his lifetime.

電話等候中 電話等候,不是被握住

I'm on hold.

Fingers crossed.
俚語 · C1cross dicks

互碰下體(粗俗玩笑)——極粗俗的臨場玩笑,不是固定習語。

  • what are you — what are you 快說時擠成一拍,別逐詞切開

You know I only surf Transformers sites when there's girls around, so they can see how cool I am.

I was thinking of something a little more sexy.

我在想稍微更性感一點的東西。 輕描淡寫地把提議推向更出格,越平靜越好笑。

Well, what's sexier than an elf princess's sword?

嗯,還有什麼比精靈公主的劍更性感? 把極客收藏和性感並列,反問製造反差笑點。

You got to give it up for Oscar Wilde-like wordplay that good.

這種水準的王爾德式文字遊戲,真得給它鼓個掌。 用高雅文學評論包裝下流雙關,一本正經地挖苦。

關於這一章的問題

going away present 是什麼意思?

指送給要離開的人(離職、搬家或遠行)的告別禮物。臺詞裡有人正為但丁準備這樣一份禮物。

「但願好運」英語怎麼說?

可以說 fingers crossed。電話裡被要求等候時,一句 Fingers crossed 就是祈禱這通預約電話能成。

at its finest 是在誇對方嗎?

不一定。它本身表示「處於最佳狀態」,臺詞裡接在「那是人獸交」之後說 At its finest, I hope,語氣是拿荒唐話反諷。

lock up 是鎖門的意思嗎?

不只。臺詞裡 lock up Kinky Kelly for tonight 是把當晚演出「訂下來」,不是把門鎖上;lock up 也可表示鎖門,要看賓語。

打電話被擱在一邊等候,英語怎麼說?

I'm on hold. 就是「他們讓我等著」,on hold 表示通話中在等待對方回來。
