老同學探班翻舊賬:bet dollars to donuts

快餐店裡來了個高中老同學,幾句話就把話題帶到誰還在煎漢堡、誰的網站賣了兩千萬。一句 I'll bet dollars to donuts(非常有把握地打賭)把互損說得十拿九穩,另一句 in a position to(有資格或條件做某事)又把話頂回去。朋友間半開玩笑地互損、想頂一句又不撕破臉,這兩句都用得上。

發生了什麼

快餐店裡,一個高中老同學來探班;有人拿年紀和煎漢堡打趣,又有人問那個搜尋引擎是不是剛以兩千萬賣給亞馬遜,接著有人翻出他當年最丟臉的入會儀式。對話裡 I'll bet dollars to donuts(非常有把握地打賭)表示十拿九穩的判斷;in a position to(有資格或條件做某事)常用來回擊「你現在還有資格笑話誰」;Drop me a line(發條訊息給我)則是給出郵箱、讓對方有想法再聯絡的隨口說法。想練朋友間的互損、舊事重提和輕鬆邀約,這幾句都能直接搬走。

Yeah. So hurry up and order and get out of here, so we can make fun of you.

對,那就趕緊點單,然後滾出去,好讓我們繼續拿你開涮。 把趕客說成“方便我們繼續嘲你”,惡意用服務口吻包住,節奏乾脆。

Oh, I don't know if you're in a position to make fun of anyone anymore, Graves.

哦,我不知道你現在還有沒有資格嘲笑別人,格雷夫斯。 用“我不知道”把刀藏進猶豫裡,再用 in a position 提醒對方已經沒底氣。

We can't all be Internet millionaires.

不是人人都能當網路富豪。 一句自嘲兼酸話,把沒法比的身價差縮成輕飄飄的“人人都”。

Yeah, but back before he was the Mad Ducketts guy, he was just Pickle Fucker.

是啊,可在他成為 MadDucketts 紅人之前,他不過是“醃黃瓜混蛋”。 先抬出新身份,再用“從前”和“不過是”把對方打回舊綽號,一句話拉回校園地面。

The GoBots are like the Kmart of Transformers.

GoBots 就像變形金剛界的 Kmart。 用平價超市給二線機器人定位,損人不帶髒字,還顯得很懂行。

關於這一章的問題

bet dollars to donuts 是什麼意思?

意思是「非常有把握地打賭」,相當於敢拿錢擔保自己的判斷。臺詞裡有人用它打賭說,兩個人照樣有力氣笑話別人。

「吃苦頭最重」英語怎麼說?

說 get the worst of it。戲裡講到高中入會儀式,有人被整得最慘,就用這句;它常指一群人裡吃虧或受傷最厲害的那個。

in a position to 在臺詞裡怎麼理解?

這裡指「有資格或條件做某事」。臺詞大意是:我看你現在可沒資格笑話誰了吧。常用來回擊對方,語氣可以半開玩笑,也可以很衝。

Drop me a line 是讓人寫紙質信嗎?

不一定是紙質信,意思是「發條訊息給我」。戲裡有人把郵箱地址交出去,讓對方有想法就聯絡;郵件、簡訊都能用這個說法。

wrap this up 是什麼語氣?

意思是「趕緊收尾結束」,帶一點催人的隨意口氣。戲裡有人想快點收尾,好去吃自己的東西,就用它催同伴。
