薯條沒炸好,罵出種族髒話:blow off some steam

穆比快餐店的櫃檯前,薯條還沒炸好,兩個人先為擅離崗位吵起來,一句 blow off some steam(發洩一下)把憋著的火氣全抖了出來;顧客催單,後來一句種族侮辱語炸翻全場,又有人回一句 you can't taste racism(種族主義是嘗不出來的)。想聽懂美式吵架裡的粗話分寸,這幾分鐘最值得看。

發生了什麼

穆比快餐店櫃檯前,點餐、催薯條的聲音沒停,兩個人先為擅離崗位互相指責,一句 blow off some steam(發洩一下)把憋著的火氣抖了出來。一位女顧客嫌等太久,櫃檯裡隨後冒出一句種族侮辱語,場面立刻炸開:有人要退錢,有人不肯吃,還有人一句 you can't taste racism(種族主義是嘗不出來的)把氣話頂了回去。最後店員退錢、請客賠不是,對方揚言寫信給報社。想學怎麼用英語抱怨、發火、賠禮,這幾句都能直接搬走:give a shit(在乎,粗俗說法)、take this on us(這個算我們請)、make my mark(出人頭地)。

關於這一章的問題

blow off some steam 是什麼意思?

是「發洩一下」——把憋著的火氣散出去。臺詞裡有人說想離開這兒去 blow off some steam,就是找個出口把不痛快放掉。

「擅離崗位」英語怎麼說?

abandon your post。臺詞裡一句 It's not my fault you abandoned your post 就是「你擅離崗位,怪不著我」,post 指的是值守的位置。

give a shit 算髒話嗎?

算粗話。它是「在乎」的粗俗說法,臺詞裡問 can't you kind of pretend like you still give a shit,就是「能不能裝裝樣子,當自己還在乎點兒」。正式場合別用。

take this on us 是「拿這個砸我們」嗎?

不是。on us 是「由我們付錢」,take this on us 就是「這個算我們請」。櫃檯這邊想賠不是,端出東西時說 Here, take this on us。

you can't taste racism 是在誇飯菜嗎?

不是誇。字面是「種族主義嘗不出來」,臺詞裡是句反諷:一邊有人不肯吃櫃檯做的東西,另一邊回這句,意思是味道上嘗不出做的人站在哪邊。
