陈述念到一半有人动枪:get someone on a wire

一场正式谈话里,有人一条条念出投诉:深夜来电、威胁、还要用广场酒店的套房去贿赂议员。一句 peeling the first layer of the onion(只是冰山一角)把案子说得深不见底,一句 get someone on a wire(给某人秘密录音)点出查案关键。想聊窃听、爆料或层层挖内幕,这两句都用得上。

发生了什么

一场正式谈话里,有人一条条念出投诉:深夜来电、威胁、还要用广场酒店的套房去贿赂议员。一句 I am so sorry(非常抱歉)打断陈述,接着有人说想 talk from my heart(说心里话)、get vulnerable(袒露脆弱),场面很快失控,甚至有人掏枪。等大家坐回去,案子越谈越大:peeling the first layer of the onion(只是冰山一角)说明才揭开第一层,get someone on a wire(给某人秘密录音)则成了办案关键。想学查案、谈判或形容事情才刚开始,这几句都能直接搬用。

I'm not telling you the end of the ice fishing story!

我不会告诉你冰钓故事的结局! 一句拒绝把悬念和私人边界都顶回来,短促、孩子气又好笑。

关于这一章的问题

get someone on a wire 是什么意思?

意思是给某人秘密录音。台词里有人要找一个更稳妥的办法给泰莱吉奥上窃听,用的就是这个说法。

「只是冰山一角」英语怎么说?

可以说 peeling the first layer of the onion,也就是「只是冰山一角」;台词里用它说明这案子才揭开第一层,后面还有更多。

for real 在这里是什么意思?

意思是「不是闹着玩」、动真格的。台词里说,这样一来就能让对方知道我们是 for real。

otherwise, you're doing a great job 是什么语气?

是反话式夸奖。前面先列保住饭碗、别进监狱、别被黑帮干掉,最后才说除此之外你干得漂亮,明显是在挖苦。

「袒露脆弱」英语怎么说?

用 get vulnerable,意思是袒露脆弱。台词里有人说,不想把话正式记录在案,只想 get vulnerable,说说真实感受。
