敲定賓厄姆頓牌局:total fish

有人乾坐著,說這樣等下去像要 get whacked(被做掉);兩天內要把 7,300 塊翻倍,還怕差一點沒湊夠。後來有人說自己在牢裡輸錢給獄警,被當成 total fish(十足的冤大頭)。想學賭局黑話,這幾句最實用。

發生了什麼

兩個人坐著盤算兩天內把七千三翻倍,一句 come up a little short(差一點沒湊夠)把最怕的結果說得很具體——不是全輸,而是就差那麼一點。隨後有人提起賓厄姆頓的牌局:十六七個市政工人剛領完工資就來打,油水很足,如果只贏一半就 we're home(我們就穩了)。為了說明怎麼進得了桌,又講起 in the joint(在監獄裡)輸錢給獄警、被當成 total fish(十足的冤大頭)的經歷。賭局、籌錢、聊風險,這些說法都用得上。

看懂「敲定賓厄姆頓牌局」

發音重點

  • gotta double — gotta 快說時縮成一團,double 重讀,that 輕帶
  • come up even — come up even 快說時黏連,up 的 p 別拖長
  • in the joint — the 很輕,重音落在 joint,別把三個詞讀滿
We got 7,300, Mike. We gotta double that in two days.

我們只有七千三,麥克。兩天內得翻一倍。 數字加期限,一句話把賭局壓力擺上桌;gotta 口語乾脆。

We come up even a little short, Grama will shoot us and bury us in a hole somewhere.

我們哪怕差一點點,格拉瑪就會崩了我們,隨便找個坑埋了。 把後果誇到黑幫片級別,荒誕又嚇人;省略 if 更口語。

If we get even half of that, we're home.

哪怕只拿到一半,我們就穩了。 we're home 把成功說成到家,短促有畫面。

You're gonna clean this game up. These guys are total suckers.

你會把這局贏個精光。這幫人全是冤大頭。 clean up 和 suckers 一正一反,把自信和輕蔑壓進兩句話。

You wanna play straight? You go in there, I'll be back in eight hours.

你想規規矩矩打?那你進去,我八小時後來接你。 用條件問句下最後通牒,短句把拒絕說死。

關於這一章的問題

total fish 是什麼意思?

指牌桌上技術差、容易被贏錢的人,也就是好宰的冤大頭。臺詞裡有人說,別人把他當成 total fish(十足的冤大頭),說明他在牌桌上被看扁了。

「差一點沒湊夠」英語怎麼說?

可以說 come up a little short。臺詞裡 if we come up a little short 就是「差一點沒湊夠」,怕最後差一點點。

get whacked 是「被做掉」嗎?

是。get whacked 意思是「被做掉」,黑幫片裡常見。開頭有人說坐在這兒感覺隨時會 get whacked。

「在監獄裡」除了 in prison 還能怎麼說?

口語裡常說 in the joint。臺詞裡有人回憶 the whole time I was in the joint,就是「我在牢裡那陣子」。

play straight 是「規規矩矩地打」還是「直著打」?

意思是規規矩矩地打、不耍花樣。臺詞裡有人提議坐到另一桌 play straight,另一句 you wanna play straight 也用了同一個說法。

we're home 是「我們到家了」嗎?

不是字面上的「到家」,而是「我們就穩了、成功了」。臺詞裡 if we get even half of that, we're home 意思就是隻要贏一半就夠本。
