Clerks II · 2006 — 第 15 / 17 章 · 3'24" · B2

牢房裡翻舊賬：smooth things over

牢房裡兩個人從牢房設計一路吵到十年前誰拖累誰，一句 I'm holding you back, right?（我拖你後腿了，是吧？）把指責原樣頂回去。最後有人說要 smooth things over（緩和關係），再去佛羅里達重新開始——吵架想收場、又不想先低頭，這兩句都用得上。

發生了什麼

牢房裡，兩個人先拿牢房設計開玩笑，轉眼就為誰毀了誰的人生吵起來。有人甩出一句 chaos incarnate（混亂的化身），等於說對方走到哪兒都把麻煩帶到哪兒；接著又翻出十年前的舊賬，拿 shit or get off the pot（要麼動手，要麼讓位）說對方當年也催過行動。吵到最後，有人放話要去找艾瑪，smooth things over（緩和關係），再去佛羅里達重新開始。想吐槽朋友、催人做決定、或者吵完想收場，這幾句都能派上用場。

但我拒絕讓你的爛事汙染我剩下的人生。 refuse to let + taint 把界限說得狠而清楚，收束全場。

關於這一章的問題

chaos incarnate 是什麼意思？

意思是“混亂的化身”，說某人走到哪兒都把麻煩帶到哪兒。戲裡有人用它給對方下判詞，不是字面“被混亂附身”。

「要麼動手，要麼讓位」英語怎麼說？

說 shit or get off the pot。字面是“拉屎，不然就從馬桶上下來”，實際催人別再佔著位置空談；很粗，熟人之間才用。

smooth things over 是“把東西抹平”嗎？

不是。它指用道歉、解釋或讓步把鬧僵的關係緩和下來；戲裡有人說要去找艾瑪把關係說開，再離開。

get my shit together 能對老闆說嗎？

最好別。它帶 shit，意思是“把生活或狀態整理好”，朋友間可以說；正式場合換成不帶髒話的說法更穩。

rag on 只是“抱怨”嗎？

不只是。rag on 是連續拿人開涮、挑毛病，比一般抱怨更口語；戲裡有人說不願整天數落顧客、白吃白喝。
