司機紙袋喝酒被撞見:goes without saying

上車前,有人從紙袋裡喝東西被看見,場面一下僵住;一句 I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable(不想讓你不自在)先把難堪說破,緊接著 not feeling so hot(身體不太舒服)把話題轉到請假。想把警告和推託說得體面,這幾句能直接搬進職場。

發生了什麼

樓下等人時,有人看見司機從紙袋裡喝東西,沒有直接拆穿,而是用 I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable(不想讓你不自在)鋪墊,再給一句 Why don't you tell her you can't drive her today(你不如跟她說今天開不了車),把警告說成選擇。隨後一句 not feeling so hot(身體不太舒服)成了請假理由,有人主動說 I'm happy to cover for mike(樂意替邁克頂班),把話頭接了過去。上車後,strictly confidential(嚴格保密)和 goes without saying(不言而喻)又把職場裡的分寸感擺到檯面上。

看懂「司機紙袋喝酒被撞見」

發音重點

  • happen to have — happen to have 快說時 to 和 have 都很輕,先抓 happen 再滑到 looked。
  • gonna have to — gonna have to 常連成一串,have 的 v 幾乎不帶,重音留在 tell 和 today。
  • Compared to women — compared to 裡的 to 很輕,別把 compared 和 women 切成兩塊。
Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, But I just happen to have looked out the window, And it appeared you were drinking something From a paper bag.

聽著,我不想讓你難堪,但我碰巧往窗外看了一眼,好像看到你在用紙袋喝著什麼。 先宣告不想讓人難堪,再拿窗外所見逼對方接話,禮貌裡帶刀。

Why don't you tell her you can't drive her today, Or I'm gonna have to.

你為什麼不告訴她你今天不能開車送她,不然就得我來說。 用問句包裝最後通牒,把選擇權和後果一起推給對方。

I wouldn't want to give you anything.

我不想把什麼傳染給你。 不說病菌,用 anything 留白,既體貼又給自己臺階。

I- I'm not trying to be rude. I just think better in the back.

我——我不是想冒犯。我只是坐後座想事情更清楚。 先道歉式墊話,再給一個私人理由,把怪要求說成個人習慣。

You know I haven't slept in two years.

你知道我這兩年都沒睡過整覺。 用兩年沒睡的誇張,把研究資料變成個人委屈,親人間才有的撒嬌式反駁。

關於這一章的問題

not feeling so hot 是什麼意思?

身體不太舒服,不是「不熱」。有人用它說明自己狀態不適合開車,後面還補一句 Not sure I should be driving,把請假理由說得很委婉。

「替人代班」英語怎麼說?

替人代班說 cover for。一句 I'm happy to cover for mike 就是「我很樂意替邁克頂班」,cover for 後面接你要替的那個人。

goes without saying 是「不用說」還是「不言而喻」?

兩個說法都通,核心都是「那還用說、當然」。有人剛說車裡聽到的一切要嚴格保密,回答 goes without saying,就是「這還用說」,表示自己當然不會外傳。

make you feel uncomfortable 能用在什麼場合?

用來先說「我不想讓你不自在」,再提一件尷尬事,比直接質問緩和。戲裡就是這樣鋪墊,然後才點出從紙袋裡喝東西。

not trying to be rude 是在正式道歉嗎?

不是正式道歉,更像提前打預防針:下面的話可能不禮貌,但我沒有惡意。戲裡用來說明不坐副駕不是看輕對方。
