It's a good thing Grama doesn't know you as well as I do.Rounders · 1998 — 第 16 / 26 章 · 3'38" · B2
健身房籃球場上,兩個舊友邊投籃邊翻舊賬。一個人承認欠了七千塊,話裡帶著 in hock(欠著債);另一個人說不能再兜底,要他 square things away(把賬/麻煩清掉)。朋友之間談錢、勸人面對爛攤子,這兩句用得上。
健身房籃球場上,兩個人一邊打投籃拼字一邊翻舊賬。錢的事被點破:一個人剛出來就陷進債務,話裡帶出 in hock(欠著債),又說到那家被稱作 mitt joint(作弊賭場)的俱樂部,結果欠得更多。另一邊聽完不再兜底,提醒對方 square things away(把賬/麻煩清掉),還要去跟格拉瑪談。認錯、訴苦、被拒絕、再被推著面對現實,日常勸人處理爛攤子時都能借用這些說法。

本章短語
欠著債in debt
有人復盤賭桌:本以為在幫對方從債裡出來,結果一算自己反而陷進去七千;這句裡的 outta hock 和 seven grand in 正好襯出 in hock(欠著債)的意思。
I'm in hock to my brother for rent money.我欠著哥哥的房租錢。

It's a good thing Grama doesn't know you as well as I do.doesn't 的 t 常省掉,n 和 know 連起來;know you 常連成 /noʊjə/,嘴形從圓到扁,別斷開。
It's a good thing Grama doesn't know you as well as I do.還錢給某人
Yeah? When I win, are you gonna pay me back with my own fucking money?臨場瞎來;即興發揮
投籃練習時,一個人讓另一個人慢下來、放鬆,別“wing it”,要先邁步再投;這裡指不按動作要領、憑感覺亂來。
Oh, oh, easy. Relax. Don't wing it. Just... Just step and throw.這輩子哪怕就這一次,別再… 不是數次數,是氣話
Will you stop fucking around for five goddamn minutes for once in your fucking life!瞎混、胡鬧——熟人發火時用,正式場合別用
Will you stop fucking around for five goddamn minutes for once in your fucking life!躲著麻煩不面對
You were hiding from your troubles then. You're hiding from your troubles now.what I'm saying 快說時縮成一團,別把每個詞讀滿。
It's like I used to have a running partner, you know what I'm saying?挨一頓揍
was going to happen was maybe catch a beating, get expelled.賓語從句:seems like 後接完整從句 you want to,to 後省略 go down hard;意思是“看起來你還真想這樣”。
But, man, you're fixing to go down hard, and it almost seems like you want to.正要、準備——美國南方口語,朋友間隨意說
But, man, you're fixing to go down hard, and it almost seems like you want to.讓開,別擋著
No, no, you're gonna get out of the way. It's gonna land on me.深陷債務/麻煩 不是物理坑,是財務窟窿
I, like, just get out, I'm in a big fucking hole.開始動起來
I need something to get goin'. I gotta get started.順風順水地過 不是開車巡航,是進展順利
I was cruising along.把某人逼住/卡死 不是物理卡住,是財務上逼人
You're really jamming me up here, man. Seven grand.can't 的 t 常吞掉,go any 連起來滑過去。
- I know. - That's it. I can't go any deeper than that. You're off the tip.定語從句:reasons 後省略 why/that,等於“我不該來的那些理由”;拆成兩截就順。
I know all the reasons I shouldn't be here, but sometimes reasons don't matter.替某人出頭 不是站起來,是出面維護
You see, no one's ever stood up for Worm.對某人放棄
but I can't give up on him that easy.某人唯一的依靠 字面是“他擁有的全部”,這裡指“他只剩我”
I'm all he's got.It's a good thing Grama doesn't know you as well as I do.幸好格拉瑪沒我這麼瞭解你。 反話正說,一句就把對方的底細和心虛點破,比直接罵更扎人。
Yeah? When I win, are you gonna pay me back with my own fucking money?是嗎?等我贏了,你是不是打算用我自己的錢還我? 把還錢和賭博綁在一句反問裡,既算賬又羞辱,節奏乾脆。
You were hiding from your troubles then. You're hiding from your troubles now.你那時候躲麻煩,現在還在躲麻煩。 兩個時態一對照,把多年沒變的事實釘死,簡單詞也有重錘。
But, man, you're fixing to go down hard, and it almost seems like you want to.可是老兄,你眼看要栽得很慘,而且看起來你還真想這樣。 把自毀說成一句冷眼觀察,不勸不吼,反而更讓人發涼。
I know all the reasons I shouldn't be here, but sometimes reasons don't matter.我知道自己不該來,理由全明白,但有時候理由不重要。 先承認理智,再讓感情壓過理智,一句寫出幫人的為難。
意思是「欠著債」。臺詞裡說 getting you outta hock,就是想把對方從債務里弄出來;緊接著又提到自己 seven grand in,也就是欠了七千塊。
可以說 square things away。臺詞裡有人勸對方 square things away with Grama,就是讓對方去跟格拉瑪把賬/麻煩清掉。
是「說實話」的坦白語氣,用來引出不太體面的實情。臺詞裡先說 not gonna lie,再說 There's been some reversals(遇到了一些挫折),等於承認事情不順。
指作弊賭場。臺詞裡前一句說那地方是 mitt joint,下一句回 I know,還說自己太蠢,說明那地方會坑人。
可以用 turn things around。臺詞裡說 I'm turning things around,就是「我在扭轉局面」,常用來表示正在讓糟糕的情況好轉。
可以說 beat the shit out of someone。臺詞裡有 I should fucking beat the shit out of you,就是「我真該把你狠揍一頓」,語氣很重,帶髒話。
