一句宣判式的收場白,把追捕的勝負說得乾脆又體面。

口語
fellas 輕讀,game's over 連起來收尾降調。
All right, folks, the meeting's over. 好了,各位,會議結束了。
這場戲:拿把柄談成一筆交易
第 16 章 · 共 22 章 · 4'02"
上校一句 You men are under arrest(你們被捕了),兩人卻不慌,回一句 come off it(少來這套),還亮出把柄:你們的案子辦砸了,是我們 bailed you out(把你們撈出來)。轉眼被捕談成了生意,一句 got a deal(就這麼說定)收尾,還附贈一天和一場高爾夫。想學怎麼把劣勢談判翻盤,這段嘴仗值得反覆聽。
❝ 獨白 · 9 句 「把人撈出來」英語說 bail someone out
come off it 少來這套、別裝蒜blew this case 把案子辦砸了bailed you out 把某人從麻煩裡撈出來got a deal 談妥了、成交
「對某事特別忌諱」英語說 have a thing about
half-assed 半吊子的、敷衍湊合的on their way 正在趕來、在路上back away from 撒手不管、抽身退開
在東京,上校宣佈把兩個闖禍的傢伙逮捕,還要送軍事法庭。兩人一點不慌,一句 come off it(少來這套)頂了回去,接著攤牌:你們的案子辦砸了,是我們 bail you out(把人撈出來)。他們順勢提條件——多待一天、看看議員的兒子、再打場高爾夫,一句 If that's okay with you, then we got a deal(你沒意見就這麼定了)。come off it 是「少來這套」,用來不信對方的虛張聲勢;bail someone out 是「替人解圍、把人撈出來」;got a deal 是「成交、說定了」。後來有人抱來病嬰,他們又佔用軍醫院開刀,把上校氣得直說要按軍法辦。想在談判裡反客為主,這場戲的幾句都很有用。

“Something tells me I've seen her someplace before.”
我總覺得在哪兒見過她。
用不確定的直覺抖出懸念,是偵探片裡最好用的一句。
Something tells me ...

I have a feeling I've met her before. / Call it a hunch, but I know that face.
中性
Something tells me 一氣呵成,her 弱讀帶過。
Something tells me we have crossed paths before. 我總覺得我們以前打過照面。

“On this point, I stand as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar. Me Lay.”
在這一點上,我像直布羅陀巨巖一樣堅定。
拿一座巨巖賭咒,死不讓步的姿態被這句話撐得滿滿當當。
as firm as ...

I won't budge an inch on this. / My position is rock solid.
正式
Rock of Gibraltar 逐詞放慢,firm 加重。
On the price, I'm as firm as a rock. 價格上,我寸步不讓。
Now, we are going to stay here for one more day... and check out the congressman's kid... and— [ Groans ] get in some golf for ourselves. If that's okay with you, then we got a deal. And if it isn't, then we can always call Washington... and you tell them your story, and we'll tell them ours. It's simple as that. In the meantime, we are going to be... at the pro shop, where we are going to have a shower and a shave. If you want to get in touch with us, that is where we will be. [ Pops Lips ]
現在,我們要在這兒多待一天…… 去看看議員的兒子…… 順便——(呻吟)自己打場高爾夫。 你要是沒意見,咱們就這麼說定了。 你要是不樂意,我們隨時能打電話給華盛頓…… 你跟他們講你的說法,我們講我們的。 就這麼簡單。這期間,我們會待在…… 球具店,在那兒衝個澡、刮個臉。 你們要聯絡我們,就去那兒找。(咂嘴聲)
下一章 · 17tell it to the marines騙鬼去吧這場戲:搶救之餘張羅球隊字面是「保釋某人」,日常引申為「替人解圍、把人從麻煩裡撈出來」。劇中兩人說 we bailed you out,就是「是我們替你們擦了屁股、把你們撈出來」。
come off it。它用來拆穿對方的虛張聲勢或裝腔作勢,帶點不耐煩,比如對方放狠話時回一句 Come off it,就是「少來這套」。
意思是「半吊子的、敷衍湊合的」,形容做事馬虎、裝置或機構不靠譜。劇中說 that half-assed army hospital,就是吐槽那家軍醫院不怎麼樣。
意思是「對某事特別忌諱、心裡有疙瘩」。劇中上校 has a thing about 平民進醫院,就是他對這件事特別敏感、不願通融。後面接名詞或動名詞。
它是 hell 的老式委婉說法,用來表示驚訝或惱火,相當於「搞什麼鬼」。What the Sam Hill are you doing? 就是「你到底在搞什麼鬼」,語氣比直接說 hell 含蓄。
