酒吧裡道謝聊男人:above and beyond

酒吧裡,一句 I literally can't thank you enough(我怎麼謝都不夠)把感謝說到極點,緊跟著 above and beyond(遠超本分)誇團隊做得比職責多。想學會把感謝說得真誠又不肉麻,這兩句很實用。

發生了什麼

酒吧裡,幾個人邊喝邊道謝。一句 I literally can't thank you enough(我怎麼謝都不夠)把感謝說到極點,緊跟著 above and beyond(遠超本分)誇團隊做得比職責多。被誇 cool under pressure(壓力下保持鎮定)的人回說自己是第一次幹這種事,努力裝鎮定。酒勁上來後,話題轉到男人、女人和代際差異,有人感嘆 a dying breed(稀有的一類人)。這些說法適合慶功、道謝、誇同事扛事,也適合在酒桌上自嘲。

看懂「酒吧裡道謝聊男人」

發音重點

  • son of a bitch — 快說時 son of a 黏成一串,bitch 壓在重音上
  • thank you enough — thank you 輕快帶過,重音留給 enough
  • cool under pressure — cool under 連起來滑過去,pressure 壓低收尾
  • have men gone — have 只留輕輕氣聲,men gone 緊跟在後
I literally can't thank you enough for what you just did.

為你剛做的事,我真的怎麼謝你都不夠。 literally 把客套話拉滿,thank you enough 收得乾脆,適合酒桌真心道謝。

I am indebted to you forever.

我永遠欠你一份人情。 indebted 比 thank you 更鄭重,forever 又把它說成酒桌誓言,半真半醉。

I never want to not know you.

我永遠不想再回到不認識你的狀態。 雙重否定繞了一下,把酒桌上的熱絡說成害怕失去,笨拙但動人。

They still seem to be trying to figure it out.

他們似乎還在努力弄明白自己該怎麼定位。 一句輕描淡寫的觀察,把整個世代的迷茫收進 seem to be trying,語氣不重卻有餘味。

Look and learn, boys, Because if you ask me, this is what cool is.

好好看著學吧,小子們,因為要我說,這才叫酷。 命令句開場,if you ask me 又退半步,酒桌教父腔和自嘲擠在一句裡。

關於這一章的問題

above and beyond 是什麼意思?

意思是「遠超本分、格外賣力」。戲裡有人說 It was so above and beyond and brave and loyal,就是誇對方做得比職責要求多得多。

「我永遠欠你們的情」英語怎麼說?

可以說 I am indebted to you forever,也可以說 I am forever in your debt。兩句都在戲裡出現,適合正式一點的感謝。

cool under pressure 是夸人什麼?

夸人在壓力下還能保持鎮定。臺詞裡說 You were very cool under pressure,就是贊對方遇事不慌。

「弄明白、想出辦法」用英語怎麼說?

用 figure it out。戲裡說 They still seem to be trying to figure it out,意思是他們好像還在摸索自己的位置。

through the roof 只能形容血壓嗎?

不只。字面是「穿過屋頂」,常表示數字或情緒飆升得嚇人。臺詞裡說的是 my blood pressure was through the roof,指血壓高得嚇人。

a dying breed 是什麼意思?

意思是「稀有的一類人、快絕跡的人」。戲裡有人拿在場的一位當例子說 A dying breed,又讓在場的人好好看著學,是誇他這樣的才叫酷。
