看看是誰
-Can I just see who it is? -No.The Social Dilemma · 2020 — 第 5 / 14 章 · 3'03" · B2
晚飯桌上手機被鎖一小時,有人一伸手就被擋回去,氣氛僵住。一句 It's just not that big a deal(這沒什麼大不了)剛出口,對面就回 If it's not that big a deal, don't use it for a week(要真沒什麼大不了,就一週別用)——嘴上輕描淡寫,當場變成賭約;想頂回這種敷衍,這兩句直接能用。
晚飯吃到一半,手機被鎖了一小時,有人一伸手就被攔住。有人想找話說,問一句 what should we talk about(沒話找話的開場),話題滑到政治,又冒出一句 It depends on who you ask(那得看問誰)。後來一句 It's just not that big a deal(沒什麼大不了)剛落地,就有人接話立下賭約:要真沒什麼大不了,一週別用。手機插上充電時,又有一句 let the record show(請記錄在案),把退開的動作說得像法庭宣告。這幾個說法分別管冷場開場、輕描淡寫、半開玩笑地宣告。

本章短語
請記錄在案;宣告一下for the record; let it be noted
有人把手機插上充電,誇張地往後退,嘴裡來一句 Let the record show,像在法庭上要求記錄自己的動作;這是飯桌玩笑,不是正式宣告。
Let the record show that I finished my homework before dinner.請記下,我在晚飯前寫完作業了。
沒話找話的開場
怪人;瘋子(貶義口語)
沒什麼大不了
快樂與痛苦的平衡
讓某人焦慮不安

看看是誰
-Can I just see who it is? -No.快說時 Can I just 連成一串,重點聽 see 和 who。
-Can I just see who it is? -No.別碰它,別管它
I locked it for an hour, so just leave it alone.聊某個話題
So, what should we talk about?開車路過
Well, we could talk about the, uh, Extreme Center wackos I drove by today.怪人;瘋子(貶義)——熟人吐槽怪人時用,正式場合或當面別用
Well, we could talk about the, uh, Extreme Center wackos I drove by today.don't 的 t 帶過,wanna 輕讀,別拖長。
I don't wanna talk about politics.聽懂,明白 這裡不是拿到某物,是聽懂
-What's wrong with the Extreme Center? -See? He doesn't even get it.取決於
It depends on who you ask.擔心某人
I... I'm worried about my kids.帶著,憑(知識/經驗) 這裡不是拿武器,是憑知識經驗
Armed with all the knowledge that I have and all of the experience,過去分詞短語:Armed with... 是分詞狀語,意為‘帶著這些知識和經驗’,不是拿武器。
Armed with all the knowledge that I have and all of the experience,把時間花在手機上
I am fighting my kids about the time that they spend on phones and on the computer.定語從句:that they spend on phones 限定 time,指手機時長。
I am fighting my kids about the time that they spend on phones and on the computer.最多;上限——口語報上限,熟人聊天用,書面少用
He'll be like, "It's, like, half an hour. It's half an hour, tops."平均而言
I don't think that's... No. Per day, on average?雙重定語從句:not a day...that I don't 雙層否定,等於‘天天提醒’。
There's not a day that goes by that I don't remind my kids about the pleasure-pain balance, about dopamine deficit states,關鍵時刻 不是真的審判時刻,是結果揭曉前
Moment of truth.讓某人焦慮不安
孩子嫌有人老在媽媽面前說手機問題,把一件小事說成危機;freaking Mom out 帶埋怨,意思是別再把媽嚇著了。
You keep freaking Mom out about our phones when it's not really a problem.沒什麼大不了
有人抱怨手機問題被誇大,先用「我懂你」接住對方,再一句 not that big a deal 把事情說小;重複 It's not 是在硬撐。
I get what you're saying. It's just not that big a deal. It's not.that 快說時很輕,重音留給 big 和 deal。
I get what you're saying. It's just not that big a deal. It's not.把某物收起來
Yeah. Yeah, actually, if you can put that thing away for, like, a whole week...成交,接受條件 不是拿到實物交易,是接受條件
-Okay. You got a deal. -[mom] Okay.插上電源
All right, I'm plugging it in.往後退
Let the record show... I'm backing away.計時開始
賭約剛成立,手機被留在桌上;有人用一句 You're on the clock 宣佈計時開始,對方回一句「一週」,氣氛像比賽開場。
-You're on the clock. -[Ben] One week.重音壓在 clock 上,on the 輕輕滑過去。
-You're on the clock. -[Ben] One week.If it's not that big a deal, don't use it for a week.要真沒什麼大不了,那就一週別用。 把對方的輕描淡寫原樣推回去,條件句一轉就成挑戰,短促有力。
I get what you're saying. It's just not that big a deal. It's not.我懂你的意思,只是真沒那麼嚴重,真沒有。 先接住對方再降級問題,末尾重複 It's not 把嘴硬和心虛都露出來。
Let the record show... I'm backing away.大家都記好了……我可退開了。 拿法庭腔說飯桌小動作,鄭重和滑稽撞在一起,畫面感極強。
It depends on who you ask.這要看問誰。 一句把‘對錯’推回立場,短、圓、可反覆用,適合結束爭論。
意思是「沒什麼大不了」,用來把事情往小說、讓對方別緊張。臺詞裡有人用它把手機用得多的爭論說小,緊接著就被一句「要真沒什麼大不了,一週別用」頂了回去。
let the record show。臺詞裡是 Let the record show... I'm backing away. 說的人一邊宣告一邊往後退,像是要大家給自己作個證。
不止。它更接近「把某人搞得焦慮不安」。臺詞裡說的是有人老拿手機的事嚇媽媽,落點在媽媽的不安,而不是單純讓她不高興。
on the clock。臺詞裡一句 You're on the clock,緊跟著的回答是 One week,也就是這次計時要持續一週。
是貶義口語,意思是「怪人、瘋子」。臺詞裡說話的人用它形容自己開車路過的一群人,語氣不客氣,正式場合最好別用。
