勸朱爾斯別放棄公司:add up

一早有人上門,開口就問“你住這兒?”,對方回一句 put someone up(收留某人暫住)——原來只是借住。進屋後,一個人說自己已經想了一整晚,想放棄一手做大的公司;對面用 I don't see how that adds up(這賬算不通)把這筆交換頂了回去。想勸人別衝動,這幾句都能直接用。

發生了什麼

朱爾斯一早來到本的公寓,開門的卻是借住在這裡的菲奧娜;幾句寒暄後菲奧娜離開,留下兩人單獨說話。朱爾斯說自己想放棄公司,本提起當年去倉庫那天,說她親手建起的東西沒人能替代。這裡的 put someone up 是「收留某人暫住」,sleep on it 是「過一夜再決定」,add up 是「邏輯上說得通」。想勸朋友別衝動做決定,或想解釋一件事為什麼說不通,都能用上。

本章短語

add up

邏輯上說得通make sense when considered

聽完對方為了挽回婚姻、寧可放棄公司的打算,這句 add up 是在說:這筆交換在道理上根本算不過來,不是數字加法,也不是沒聽懂。

His story sounds fine, but the timing doesn't add up.他的說法聽著還行,但時間對不上。

短語 · B1put someone up

收留某人暫住

短語 · A2on one's way to work

在上班路上

I'm just on my way to work.
短語 · B1Who knew?

真沒料到

看到兩人在一起,對方用 Who knew 表示“真沒想到”,語氣是熟人間的打趣,不是真的發問。

發音kind of commitment

kind of 輕帶,重音給 commitment

No one else is ever gonna have That kind of commitment to your company, Jules.

短語 · B2in the hopes that

抱著……的希望

in the hopes that 點出交換條件:放棄公司,是希望丈夫停止婚外情。語氣不是祝福,而是逼人看見這個希望有多不確定。

And you're gonna give that up In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair?
短語 · B2have an affair

有婚外情

And you're gonna give that up In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair?
語法 · B2the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair

And you're gonna give that up In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair?
短語 · B2feel nothing but ... about

對……只該覺得自豪

You should feel nothing but great about what you've done.
語法 · B2see you let anyone take

感官動詞複合結構:see + 賓語 + 原形:看見某人做某事;let 後也接原形,表示任由。

And I'd hate to see you let anyone take that away from you.
短語 · B2get all sentimental

突然感傷起來

有人把對方稱作 intern/best friend 後,另一方嘴上說沒必要 get all sentimental,緊接著卻提“以後可能埋在一起”,用玩笑把感傷又推高一層。

But there's no need to get all sentimental about it Even though we could potentially be buried together.
語法 · B2Even though we could potentially be buried together

讓步狀語從句:even though 引導讓步:主句說別感傷,從句說兩人親密到可能葬在一起。

But there's no need to get all sentimental about it Even though we could potentially be buried together.
發音get all sentimental

重音給 sentimental,前面輕帶。

But there's no need to get all sentimental about it Even though we could potentially be buried together.

看懂「勸朱爾斯別放棄公司」

發音重點

  • gonna have — gonna 常弱化為 /ɡənə/,have 的 h 輕帶、/æv/ 收短,重音落在 have。
  • kind of commitment — kind of 輕帶,重音給 commitment
  • get all sentimental — 重音給 sentimental,前面輕帶。
No one else is ever gonna have That kind of commitment to your company, Jules.

朱爾斯,再不會有誰對你的公司有那種投入了。 用 no one else 和 ever 把不可替代性說死,勸人時最有分量。

And you're gonna give that up In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair?

而你要放棄它,就指望你丈夫不再出軌? 把 give up 和 in the hopes that 並置,溫柔卻逼人看清代價。

You should feel nothing but great about what you've done.

你對自己做過的事,只該感到無比自豪。 nothing but great 雙重強調,把對方的自我懷疑直接按下去。

And I'd hate to see you let anyone take that away from you.

我可不願看到任何人把這份成就從你手裡奪走。 hate to see 比 I don't want 更軟,卻把保護姿態說得很清楚。

I don't see how that adds up.

我看不出這賬怎麼算得過來。 add up 把荒誕選擇說成一筆算不平的賬,短而有力。

關於這一章的問題

sleep on it 是什麼意思?

意思是「過一夜再決定」:先把事情放一晚,第二天再拿主意。戲裡那句 I slept on it 就是有人說自己已經想了一整晚,不是字面「睡在上面」。

「抱著……的希望」英語怎麼說?

用 in the hopes that,後面接完整從句,意思是「抱著……的希望」。戲裡有人問對方是不是要放棄這一切,原句接著就是 In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair,也就是指望丈夫不再出軌。

add up 和「加起來」有什麼關係?

add up 本義是相加,但這裡是「邏輯上說得通」。I don't see how that adds up 就是「這賬我怎麼算都算不通」,表示一件事前後對不上、說不通。

I hope that's okay 適合什麼場合?

它意思是「希望你不介意」,臨時上門、改時間或提小請求時都能先墊一句。戲裡有人一早過來,先說明自己四點就醒了,再補一句 I hope that's okay,語氣就很客氣。

put someone up 是「放上去」嗎?

不是。put someone up 是「收留某人暫住」,讓某人暫時住自己家。戲裡那句 Ben's been putting me up until I can find a place 就是說還沒找到房子,一直借住在本那裡。

get all sentimental 是什麼意思?

意思是「突然感傷起來」,get all 表示變得很……。戲裡說 there's no need to get all sentimental about it,就是勸人別把氣氛搞得太感傷。
