債滾到一萬五:juice

牌室裡有人伸手拿同桌其他玩家的籌碼,被提醒後還反問有沒有意見;轉到麵館,話題成了一筆越滾越大的債。juice(高利貸滾出來的利息)一直在滾,gorilla math(離譜的演算法)又算出一萬五。聊賭債、吐槽賬目離譜,這兩個詞都用得上。

發生了什麼

牌室裡有人告訴蟲蟲號碼換了,週末局不少;後來有人伸手拿同桌其他玩家的籌碼,被提醒不能這樣,還反問對方有沒有意見。隨後話題轉到一筆債:欠款被人整包買走,juice(高利貸滾出來的利息)一直在滾,按 gorilla math(離譜的演算法)算成了一萬五。有人說自己不願 in the can(蹲監獄、坐牢)時還讓朋友替他還債。聊借貸、吐槽賬目離譜、說坐牢,這些說法都能用。

看懂「債滾到一萬五」

發音重點

  • get something to eat — 快說時 something 和 to 黏成一團,別逐詞咬
  • You're tapped — you're 常弱化為 /jər/,雙唇快速滑過,力氣全壓在 tapped 上
  • the entire time — 重音擺在 entire 上,time 輕輕收
  • get in the — get in 別斷開,t 輕彈一下就滑進 in
I'm not gonna sit in the can and have my friend paying down my debt.

我才不會蹲在牢裡,讓朋友替我還債。 把坐牢和「朋友替我還」並排,一句立住骨氣,口語節奏又不端著。

We can help each other, like always. That's why we're here.

咱們互相幫,跟以前一樣。我們坐這兒就是為這個。 兩個短句把合夥說成理所當然,像給舊關係續一張合同。

You keep grinding out that rent money, Joe. It's noble work you're doing.

你還在一分一分磨那點房租錢呢,喬。真是份高尚的工作。 誇的詞配苦的活,反話的教科書;叫一聲 Joe,刺得更近。

I'm not a leech, all right?

我不是那種吸血的人,行吧? 一句短辯解直接拒絕“吃白食”的標籤,all right 一收,又硬又帶點求認同。

He says the juice has been running the entire time on my ten.

他說我那筆一萬塊本金上的利息,從頭到尾一直在滾。 用「一直在跑」講複利,一句說清小債怎麼長成天文數字。

關於這一章的問題

juice 在這裡是什麼意思?

這裡指高利貸滾出來的利息。臺詞裡有人說,那一萬塊的 juice 一直在滾,所以債務越拖越大。

「離譜的演算法」英語怎麼說?

可以說 gorilla math。臺詞裡有人用這個詞吐槽對方把欠款算得離譜。

in the can 是指哪裡?

in the can 指監獄、牢房,是很口語的說法。臺詞裡有人說,自己不願蹲在裡面,還讓朋友替他還債。

「被店家免單招待」英語怎麼說?

用 comped。臺詞裡有人說自己在麵館 got comped,就是拿到店家的免費招待。

people like you 這種說法帶什麼語氣?

帶刺的歸類,意思是「你這種人」。臺詞裡有人用 Do they allow people like you in places like this? 來擠兌對方。
