把赌场执照办下来

递上七万五谈赌场执照：grease someone
酒店里，有人把七万五千美元放进公文包，说是要给市长办赌场执照和建筑许可。一句 mouths to feed（有一家人要养）把家庭负担摆出来；紧接着一句 grease someone（用钱打通关系），把塞钱说得像谈生意。想听懂委婉的贿赂和人情话，这两句很值得记。
发生了什么
有人把七万五千美元放进公文包，说是要给市长办下赌场执照和建筑许可；对方一看这阵仗，直说这事太离谱。随后有人追出去，一边道歉，一边把话往生意上引。mouths to feed（有一家人要养）把家庭负担摆出来；grease someone（用钱打通关系）把塞钱说成办事；还有 eye to eye（面对面、想法一致）把彼此说成能直接合作的人。想学怎么把不体面的事说得体面，这几句都很有画面。
这场戏看什么
- 注意市长先追问那是什么，再问对方出身
- 留意道歉和套近乎怎样替塞钱打掩护
- 看“直接交易”被重复几次才落地
留意这几个短语

本章短语
grease someone
用钱打通关系bribe someone; pay to smooth things

They tried to grease the inspector to skip the safety check.他们想给检查员塞钱，好跳过安全检查。

发音重点
- for Mayor — for 只轻轻带过，重音落在 Mayor 上，别把 for 拉长。
- what that is — what that is 快说时几个 t 常被吞，三个词连成一团。
- got a little — got a 在美音里常连成一团，t 轻轻弹过，别逐字顿开。
- eye to eye — to 只轻轻带过，两个 eye 才是重音，别三词平均用力。
I don't know what that is, but this is very weird to me.我不知道那是什么，但这对我来说太不对劲了。 重复说太怪，把警觉说得很直白，前半否认、后半表态，像真人当场把话挑明。
You do with it what you will.你想怎么处置就怎么处置。 把选择权推回对方，语气不逼人，却让收钱这件事显得已成定局。
No middlemen, no bullshit, it's the Arab way.没有中间人，不玩虚的，这就是阿拉伯人的做法。 三个短句像敲桌子，先排除中间人，再用粗口强调直来直去。
I like you, eye to eye, we can do business together.我喜欢你，面对面直说，我们可以一起做生意。 把信任和交易捆在一句里，eye to eye 让收钱听起来像平等合作。
关于这一章的问题
grease someone 是什么意思？
这里指用钱打通关系，把好处直接塞给对方。台词里说 grease you directly（直接塞钱给你），就是不走中间人，把钱给到本人。
「有一家人要养」英语怎么说？
常用 mouths to feed。台词里说自己有家有口，有一家人要养，就用 I got mouths to feed 来把现实压力摆出来。
eye to eye 在这里是「看法一致」吗？
这里的 eye to eye 是面对面、想法一致：台词说 I like you, eye to eye, we can do business together，意思是我喜欢你，咱们能面对面一起做生意。
thrown by 是「被吓到」吗？
不是单纯被吓到，而是被弄得有点发懵、措手不及。台词里说约好见面的人结果没出现，自己有点 thrown by（被弄得有点发懵），就是被这个变故弄乱了节奏。
procure 和普通「买」有什么区别？
procure 更正式，指取得、办下所需的东西；台词里说的是把赌场执照办下来，不是普通买东西。
