这场戏：借钱换来一份家教
第 13 章 · 共 25 章 · 4'04"
莫扎特跑来找萨列里借钱，张口就是 I am working on something that will explode like a bomb all over Europe（我在写一部会炸遍全欧洲的作品），说还钱 I'll pay you back double（加倍还你）。萨列里一边把两百弗罗林砍到五十，一边劝他别成了 a debtor（欠债者）。想学怎么吹嘘、砍价、劝人，这几句很有意思。
他说作品会 explode like a bomb（像炸弹一样炸开）
explode like a bomb 像炸弹一样炸开pay you back double 加倍奉还name the terms 开条件、定条款
他劝莫扎特别成了 as a debtor（欠债者）
as a debtor 作为欠债者working on 在做、在忙某事Two hundred florins 两百弗罗林
莫扎特急需用钱，来找萨列里帮忙。他夸口 I am working on something that will explode like a bomb all over Europe（我在写一部会炸遍全欧洲的作品），说 I'll be the richest man in Vienna（我会成为维也纳最有钱的人），I'll pay you back double（加倍还你），甚至 You name the terms（条件你开）。可一问细节，就只剩 It's a bit of a secret（这是个秘密）。萨列里慢条斯理，把两百弗罗林砍到一百、五十，还提醒他别在维也纳成了 a debtor（欠债者）。之后他提起一位要请老师的先生，莫扎特去了那户人家，女孩怎么都不肯弹，最后只能自己坐下来弹，反被要求 Keep playing（继续弹）。想学怎么借钱、吹牛、砍价，这段很鲜活。

“I am working on something that will explode like a bomb all over Europe.”
我正在写一部作品，它会像炸弹一样炸遍全欧洲。
用炸弹比喻作品的轰动，自信得近乎天真。

夸大某事的传播力或冲击力时用；口语里很生动。
something that will take Europe by storm ／ something that will blow up everywhere
口语
like a bomb 连读，Europe 重音在前。

“I'll be the richest man in Vienna. I'll pay you back double. Anything.”

连甩三个承诺，越说越大，把走投无路的急切演活了。
I'll pay you back double. Anything.
借钱或求人时拍胸脯保证用；语气急切，但也显得不牢靠。
I'll pay you back twice over. ／ Name your price and I'll meet it.

richest man 连读，double 重读。
Lend me the money; I'll pay you back double. 把钱借我，我加倍还你。
“You expect your fortunes to change in six or eight months?”
你指望六到八个月里运势就翻过来？
用 fortunes 一词把「翻身」说得体面，反问里全是怀疑。

正式
fortunes to 连读，change 重读。

“Forgive me. We all have patriotic feelings of some kind.”

把偏见说成「爱国情怀」，一句自嘲就把全体都点了。

自嘲或泛泛地解释人性共通处时用；语气轻松。
We all have our little habits. ／ Everyone has opinions of some kind.

patriotic feelings 连读，some kind 收得轻。

“I don't think you should become known in Vienna as a debtor,Mozart.”
我不觉得你该在维也纳落个欠债不还的名声，莫扎特。
用「名声」当借口拒绝借钱，把冷酷说成关心。
become known as a (label)
提醒对方别落下某种坏名声时用；可真心也可借口。
You don't want to be known as a debtor. ／ Don't get a reputation as a freeloader.
正式
known in 连读，debtor 重音在前。
He doesn't want to become known as a complainer. 他不想落下爱抱怨的名声。
下一章 · 14stuffs me like a goose把我像鹅一样填这场戏：父亲上门挑刺字面是「像炸弹一样炸开」。台词里说作品 will explode like a bomb all over Europe，就是「会炸遍全欧洲」，形容作品会引发巨大轰动。
意思是「开条件、定条款」。台词里 You name the terms 就是「条件你开」，让步对方自己提条件，常见于借钱、谈合同。
as a debtor。台词里 become known in Vienna as a debtor 就是「在维也纳落个欠债不还的名声」，debtor 就是欠债的人。
意思是「爱国情怀」。台词里 We all have patriotic feelings of some kind 是「我们谁都有点爱国情怀」，常用来半开玩笑地解释自己的偏爱。
a bit of a secret。台词里 It's a bit of a secret 就是「这算是个秘密」，a bit of a 用来把话说得不那么绝对。
意思是「在做、在忙某事」。台词里 What exactly are you working on? 就是「你到底在写什么？」，work on 后面接正在做的项目或作品。
