习惯于某事
I’m not used to that having anything in it.Barbie · 2023 — 第 13 / 26 章 · 3'04" · B2
美泰一群男高管围着芭比,嘴上说想跟她 face-time(面对面交流),话里话外却是劝她钻进一个大盒子;她一问「有没有女人掌权」,对方立刻急了,说公司 literally made of women(字面意义上由女人构成),还搬出一堆站不住脚的辩解。想学开会时打太极、被戳中就急眼的说法,这段很妙。
芭比来到美泰总部,一群男高管热情接待,说一直想跟她好好 face-time(面对面交流),随后就劝她钻进一个大盒子,说进了盒子就能回到芭比乐园,一切恢复原样。芭比提到肯,对方一句 Ken isn’t something we’re worried about(肯不是我们担心的事)带过;她问有没有女人掌权,对方立刻变脸,说自己对这个问题 really resent it(很反感),又辩解公司 literally made of women(字面意义上由女人构成),还搬出「我妈妈是女人」这种理由。最后一位急了,骂着催她进盒子。想学敷衍、辩解和硬撑场面的说法,这段全是笑点。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
up the wazooface-timefreakingJezebel
本章短语
多得不得了;到处都是(粗俗)in great excess; everywhere (crude)
高管吹嘘公司包容,说 We have gender-neutral bathrooms up the wazoo,夸张到近乎荒唐。
We had paperwork up the wazoo before the audit.审计前我们的文书材料多到爆。
面对面交流的时间
该死的、超级(温和的加强词)
耶洗别(贬称,指无耻放荡的女人)
59 句台词里标了 24 处
习惯于某事
I’m not used to that having anything in it.be used to 加动名词:be used to 后面接名词或动名词,表示习惯于某种情况;that having anything in it 把瓶子里真有东西当成一件需要适应的新鲜事。
I’m not used to that having anything in it.used to 里 used 的 d 几乎不发音,两个词融合成 yoos-ta,to 很轻。
I’m not used to that having anything in it.面对面交流的时间
高管客套地说,他们一直很想和芭比 get some quality face-time,把绑架说成职场会面。
So, we’ve been very anxious to get some quality face-time with you.同意、愿意接受
If you’re agreeable to it, we would love it if you could just get into that giant box.如果……就太好了
If you’re agreeable to it, we would love it if you could just get into that giant box.would 加 if 虚拟语气:would love it if 后面接从句,说的是希望对方愿意做某事;语气客气到近乎讨好,其实是在软性地施压。
If you’re agreeable to it, we would love it if you could just get into that giant box.进入;钻进
Get into the box and you’ll go back to Barbie Land.照原样;和从前一样
And everything will be as it was.为……担心
Ken isn’t something we’re worried about.大老远跑一趟
Oh. But since I came all this way, could I just meet the woman in charge, your CEO?came 的 m 顺滑接上 all,all 又粘住 this,常连成 /keɪˈmɔːl ðɪs/,way 收尾时降下来。
Oh. But since I came all this way, could I just meet the woman in charge, your CEO?想往哪引;想说什么
Listen, I know exactly where you’re going with this, and I have to say I really resent it.对此很反感
Listen, I know exactly where you’re going with this, and I have to say I really resent it.过去分词短语作修饰:made of women 这个过去分词短语跟在名词后面,说明公司的构成;literally 一加,就把一句辩解推到字面意义上,也让它更荒唐。
We are a company literally made of women.该死的;非常(fucking 的委婉替代)——用来加强语气,比脏话温和但仍属粗俗;正式场合和对长辈不宜。
Women are the freaking foundation of this very long phallic building.多得不得了;到处都是(粗俗)
高管吹嘘公司包容,说 We have gender-neutral bathrooms up the wazoo,夸张到近乎荒唐。
We have gender-neutral bathrooms up the wazoo.the 的元音被挤掉,只留轻 th 贴在 up 后;wazoo 的重音和长度都压在 zoo 上,常压缩成 /ʌp ðə wəˈzuː/。
We have gender-neutral bathrooms up the wazoo.(up the wazoo)多到夸张、到处都是——俚语,语气粗俗但不到脏话级别;只在熟人闲聊里用,正式场合别出现。
We have gender-neutral bathrooms up the wazoo.我最好的朋友里就有……(辩解套话)
Some of my best friends are Jewish.我想说的是
What I’m trying to say is...很久以来
I haven’t been in a box in ages.in ages 表示很久以来:现在完成时加 in ages,表示从很久以前到现在都没发生过某事;说的是进盒子,听起来却像在说一种久违的体验。
I haven’t been in a box in ages.卖得好
Remember Proust Barbie? That did not sell very well. [chuckles]If you’re agreeable to it, we would love it if you could just get into that giant box.如果你同意的话,我们会很乐意你钻进那个巨大的盒子。 用最客气的方式提出最不讲理的要求:请钻回盒子。would love it if 的礼貌把命令包装成邀请,这才是公司话术的完整示范。
Ken isn’t something we’re worried about.肯不是我们担心的事。 一句话把肯从公司视野里彻底划掉,连同前面积累的所有情感一起清零。冷酷不是靠语气,而是靠把他降格成一件不值一提的事。
Listen, I know exactly where you’re going with this, and I have to say I really resent it.听着,我完全知道你想把话往哪引,我得说我很反感。 抢先把对方的意图点破,再宣布反感,等于提前封死接下来的质问。先知的姿态既是防御,也是心虚。
We are a company literally made of women.我们是一家字面意义上由女人构成的公司。 把一行公关话术里的字面意义当真,再用 literally 坐实,等于把偷换概念摆到台面上。荒唐来自它说得毫无破绽。
Women are the freaking foundation of this very long phallic building.女人可是这栋非常长的、阳具式大楼的该死地基。 把一句惯用的赞美和一句建筑形状的描写缝在一起,越self-help越滑稽。越是用力替自己辩护,越暴露这套话语的空洞。
I haven’t been in a box in ages.我好久没进过盒子了。 把回到盒子说成一件久违的小事,语气轻松得近乎怀念。危险被说得像日常,正因为这样才更冷。
指「面对面交流的时间」,尤其是有质量、当面的沟通。现在也引申为当面聊一聊,不一定真的用视频软件。
俚语,意思是「多得不得了、到处都是」,带点粗俗。想说某样东西多到用不完,就可以用它。
是脏话的温和替身,用作加强语气,相当于「该死的、超级」。想发感慨又不想真说脏话时用它。
I really resent it。resent 表示「对……感到愤懑」,被戳到痛处、觉得被冒犯时就可以这样说。
not ... in ages。I haven’t been in a box in ages 就是「我好久没进过盒子了」,in ages 指很久以来。
