牌桌上點破所有人的牌:represent that you have something

深夜牌桌上,教授和法官們圍著一個送東西的法學院學生。有人先丟擲 a word to the wise(給句忠告),後來有人點破別人在 represent that you have something(裝作手裡有某張牌)。想勸人一句、又想看穿對方虛張聲勢,這兩句正好派上用場。

發生了什麼

深夜的牌桌上,一名法學院學生在教授和法官們身邊幫忙送東西。有人拋來 a word to the wise(給句忠告),勸他留在私人律所;有人說明知冒險還是 can't help myself(忍不住)。後來有人拿暑期書記員的職位打賭,說自己知道對方手裡的牌,還點破誰在 represent that you have something(裝作手裡有某張牌)。想學幾句勸告、自嘲和點破虛張聲勢的英文,這些說法都能直接用。

關於這一章的問題

represent that you have something 是什麼意思?

這是牌桌上的說法,指明明沒那張牌,卻裝作手裡有某張牌。臺詞裡有人被點破:他忘了那張牌早被棄掉,還繼續裝。

a word to the wise 是什麼意思?

意思是「給句忠告」。臺詞裡有人用它引出建議:留在私人律所,別去當公務員。日常提醒別人時,可以先來這一句,再講具體建議。

「忍不住」英語怎麼說?

用 can't help myself。臺詞裡有人說,自己可能讓法律事業還沒開始就完蛋,但就是 can't help myself,也就是控制不住自己。

「把某人列為首選」英語怎麼說?

說 put someone at the top of the list。牌桌上有人不拿職位打賭,只承諾:你要是說對了,我就把你排到名單最前面,也就是列為首選。

come up short 是什麼意思?

意思是「差一點沒成功」。臺詞裡說,有人想搏出方塊同花,但 come up short,也就是差一張沒成。
