這場戲：猜新插進來的東西
第 2 章 · 共 21 章 · 1'57"
遊戲廳裡插上了新裝置，大家七嘴八舌猜半天，才被一句「其實叫 Wi-Fi」糾正。有人警告說網際網路不能瞎玩，用 for Pete's sake（拜託）催大家去幹活；另一邊有人嫌遊戲沒新意，聊兩句就差點吵起來，只好 agree to disagree（求同存異）。想學拌嘴、勸人、各退一步的說法，這段很輕鬆。
❝ 獨白 · 7 句 「天哪，拜託」：for Pete's sake
nothing to laugh at 沒什麼好笑的for Pete's sake 天哪、拜託keep out 別進去；止步
「求同存異」：agree to disagree
agree to disagree 各自保留意見；求同存異a fancy way to say 一種講究的說法making it a thing 小題大做
遊戲廳裡突然插上了一臺新裝置，大家圍過去猜是什麼。有人說是賽車，有人賭是血壓計，最後被一句 It's actually pronounced "Wi-Fi"（其實叫 Wi-Fi）糾正。有人把 Wi-Fi 說成 Die-Fi（死-Fi）開玩笑，又正色警告：the Internet is nothing to laugh at（網際網路可不是鬧著玩的），並用 for Pete's sake（拜託）催大家去幹活、別亂進。另一邊，有人嫌自己的遊戲 every bonus level's been unlocked（所有獎勵關都解鎖了），說 I'd kill for even just a new track（多一條新賽道都願意拼命），聊著聊著差點吵起來，只好 agree to disagree（求同存異）。想學猜測、開玩笑式警告、拌嘴和打圓場，這些句子很好用。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“It is new, it is different, and therefore we should fear it.”
它是新的、不同的，所以我們應該怕它。
用 three 個並列短句把守舊邏輯講到極致，荒誕得理直氣壯。重複的句型本身就是諷刺。
It is new, it is different, and therefore we should fear it.
諷刺盲目守舊、以新為敵的心態時用，正式、反諷。
Different means dangerous, apparently. ／ New things get banned on principle.
正式
it is 重複兩遍，therefore we should fear it 放慢加重收。
It's unfamiliar, so naturally people panic. 一不熟悉，人們就慌。
“So keep out, for Pete's sake, and get to work.”
所以別進去，拜託，去幹活。
把禁令和催促串成一句，煩躁又好笑。for Pete's sake 讓命令帶上無奈的口氣。
Keep out, for Pete's sake, and get to work.
半開玩笑地下達禁令並催人幹活時用，口語、帶情緒。
Stay out of it and get busy. ／ Don't even think about it—back to work.
口語
for Pete's sake 連讀，get to work 放慢收。
Stay away from it and get back to work. 離那東西遠點，回去幹活。
“Man, I'd kill for even just a new track.”
天，我哪怕能玩一條新賽道都願意拼命。
用 I'd kill for 這種誇張說法表達渴望，把一件小事說得要命。求新求變的性格全在這句裡。
I'd kill for just a ...
誇張地表達自己非常想要某樣小東西時用，口語、有活力。
I'd give anything for that. ／ Desperate for even a small change.
口語
I'd kill for 連讀，a new track 放慢收。
I'd give anything for a little variety. 為了一點新意我什麼都願意。
“It's just every bonus level's been unlocked.”
只是所有獎勵關卡都已經解鎖了。
把「遊戲玩膩了」說成一個具體的技術狀態：所有獎勵關卡都解鎖了，沒有新東西可追，所以她才會渴望變化。冷靜陳述裡藏著無聊。
It's just every bonus level's been unlocked.
解釋自己為什麼提不起勁、想要點新東西時用，語氣平淡；對正興奮的人說會顯得掃興。
It's just that I've unlocked everything already. ／ There's nothing left to chase in it.
口語
bonus level's 連讀，been unlocked 放慢收尾。
It's just that I've already unlocked everything there is. 只是能解鎖的東西我全都解鎖了。
“No, no. It's just a fancy way to say we don't have to argue about it.”
不不。這只是一種講究的說法，意思是我們不用為它爭。
用 a fancy way to say 把一個抽象成語翻譯成大白話，體貼又好笑。解釋本身比成語更溫度。
It's just a fancy way to say ...
把某個正式說法解釋得更簡單時用，口語、親切。
In plain words, it just means ... ／ All that really means is ...
口語
fancy way 連讀，we don't have to argue about it 放慢收。
It's just a fancy way of saying we can stop arguing. 那只是說我們不用再爭的好聽說法。
That sign right there says "Wi-Fi." What it should say is "Die-Fi." That's a little humor there. But seriously, the Internet is nothing to laugh at. It is new, it is different, and therefore we should fear it. So keep out, for Pete's sake, and get to work. The arcade's about to open.
那邊牌子上寫的是「Wi-Fi」。 其實該寫「死網」。 開個小玩笑。 不過說真的，網際網路可不是開玩笑的。 它是新的，它不一樣， 所以拜託別進去，趕緊去幹活。 遊戲廳馬上就要開門了。
下一章 · 03go out of business倒閉這場戲：新賽道弄壞賽車意思是「各自保留意見、求同存異」。戲裡兩人聊不下去，一句 agree to disagree 就是「那就各持己見吧」，用來體面收場。
可以說 for Pete's sake，表示不耐煩的委婉說法。戲裡用它催人去幹活，就是「拜託了，趕緊去幹活」。
意思是「把小事升級成大事、上綱上線地計較」。戲裡勸對方 stop making it a thing，就是「別把這事兒鬧大」。
是把 Wi-Fi 諧音成 Die-Fi，等於「要命的網路」，用來吐槽上網有多糟。戲裡說 what it should say is "Die-Fi"，就是嫌它該改名叫「死-Fi」。
一方嫌自己的遊戲沒新意、連獎勵關都解鎖完了，另一方覺得他太不知足，幾句話說得尷尬，最後靠 agree to disagree 打圓場。
