求经纪人帮忙复出:get in circulation

经纪人办公室里,鲍勃登门求机会;对方却直说 We've talked about this... the image problem.(我们聊过这个……我的形象问题。),并挑明 If I were to send you out again, I'd have to be able to tell people you're a new man.(如果我要再把你推出去,得能告诉别人你脱胎换骨了。)想学英语里谈形象、给建议的说法,这几句很实用。

发生了什么

鲍勃登门拜访经纪人,说自己排好了不少活,也想靠游戏节目 get in circulation(重新露面、回到圈子里活跃起来),重新进入 the public's eye(公众视野)。经纪人不接这个话头,直接点出 his image problem(他的形象问题):If I were to send you out again, I'd have to be able to tell people you're a new man.(如果我要再把你推出去,得能告诉别人你脱胎换骨了。)。鲍勃觉得自己很正常,还怪 people got these hang-ups(人们心里有包袱);经纪人却回一句 Bob, people don't change unless they want to.(鲍勃,人只有自己想改变时才会改变。)。想学英语里谈复出、谈形象、给硬建议的说法,这段很全。

看懂「求经纪人帮忙复出」

Bob, people don't change unless they want to.

鲍勃,人只有自己想改变时才会变。 把责任推回本人:外人帮不了,除非你自己想。既是劝告,也是不再兜底的边界。

A drunk can't get sober and still hang around his old drinking buddies.

酒鬼要戒酒,就不能还跟以前的酒友混在一起。 用戒酒这种粗浅比喻讲硬道理:环境不换,人就改不了。

If I were to send you out again, I'd have to be able to tell people you're a new man.

如果我再把你推出去,我得能跟人说你脱胎换骨了。 用虚拟语气把条件摆明:复出不是不行,而是你得先变成另一个人。形象比才华更硬。

I want you to know something. I'm here for you. I want to help you. You understand?

我想让你知道一件事。我就在你这边。我想帮你。你明白吗? 四句短话层层加码,从宣告到保证再到追问。真诚里裹着控制,正是这段关系的复杂。

关于这一章的问题

hang-ups 是什么意思?

意思是「心理疙瘩、放不下的顾虑」,指对某些事抱有的忌讳或包袱。台词里有人抱怨大家就是有这些 hang-ups,才对他指指点点。

「有什么心事」英语怎么说?

可以说 on your mind,比如 what's on your mind 就是「你在想什么事、有什么心事」,是关心别人时的常用问法。

「回到圈子里、重新露面」英语怎么说?

可以说 get in circulation。circulation 本指流通,用在这里就是重新在业内活跃、常常露面,让别人重新看到你。

「我会支持你」英语怎么说?

可以说 I'm here for you,意思是「我站在你这边、会支持你」,语气很暖,朋友遇到难处时特别适合说。

people don't change unless they want to 什么意思?

意思是「人只有自己想改变时才会改变」。unless they want to 就是「除非他们自己愿意」,用来说改变的动力得来自本人。
