把事情摆平、理顺
They were able to straighten it out, keep it under wraps, but this is serious.Barbie · 2023 — 第 10 / 26 章 · 3'50" · B2
美泰高层正开着会,亚伦·丁金斯冲进来汇报:芭比跑到现实世界了。他先来一句 With all due respect(恕我直言),说这次可不是斯基珀那回,We’ve got a definite situation on our hands(我们手上是一桩实打实的麻烦)。芭比那边却冒出 I’ve started to get all these weirdo feelings(我开始有这些怪怪的感觉)。想学汇报和打断,这段很实用。
美泰公司的会议室里,高层正开着一场 idea sesh(头脑风暴),亚伦·丁金斯硬闯进来汇报:现实世界出现了真人大小的芭比。有人提醒 And with all due respect, that was Skipper, sir(恕我直言,那次是斯基珀),可这次是芭比本人,众人惊呼 Catastrophic(灾难级的),说 We’ve got a definite situation on our hands(我们手上是一桩实打实的麻烦)。另一边,芭比在洛杉矶街头也发现自己不对劲:I’ve started to get all these weirdo feelings(我开始有这些怪怪的感觉),比如 I have fear with no specific object(我有害怕却没有具体对象),有人告诉她 That’s anxiety(那是焦虑)。肯却毫发无伤,还打算 pop into the library(顺便进一下图书馆)。想学汇报、打断、描述情绪,这段很典型。

把事情摆平、理顺

- I’m going all the way up. - No one goes all the way up.no one 否定主语:No one 作主语时动词用单数,表示谁也不例外;前后两句一应一答,把闯到顶层的禁令说得像口令。
- I’m going all the way up. - No one goes all the way up.最高层;高层人物
Okay. Listen, I have to speak to the top brass.获准进入
Aaron, they’re in a big corporate idea sesh. No one is to be admitted.一场活动、一段聚会(session 的俚语)——口语里指一次较长的活动或会议,轻松随意;正式场合换成 session。

We’re in the middle of a major sit-down here, Aaron Dinkins.一场正式会谈
We’re in the middle of a major sit-down here, Aaron Dinkins.in the middle of 结构:in the middle of 表示正处在某件事当中,后面接名词;这里把一场重要会议说成正在进行、不容打断的场合。
We’re in the middle of a major sit-down here, Aaron Dinkins.把它发给我
Can you just e-mail it? And you can send it to me EOD.send 的 /d/ 直接接上 it,常连成 /ˈsendɪt/,to 再弱成 /tə/,串成 /ˈsendɪtə mi/;send 要重读。
Can you just e-mail it? And you can send it to me EOD.当天结束前(办公缩写)——办公室邮件和口头催办里常用,正式文件里应写完整说法。
Can you just e-mail it? And you can send it to me EOD.某事重演

If this got out that our dolls were coming to Los Angeles from Barbie Land摊在手上(的麻烦)
We’ve got a definite situation on our hands.再怎么强调都不为过
I can’t stress that enough! - What?把它想成
Think of it as a town in Sweden, Aaron Dinkins.until 引导条件从句:No one 加动词再加 until 从句,表示在某个条件实现前谁都不许休息;用否定主语下命令,把压力分给在场所有人。
No one rests until this doll is back in a box.顺便进去一下
I’m just gonna pop into the library and see if I can find any books on trucks. [chuckles]see if 引导试探:see if 后面接从句,表示试着看看能否做到;gonna 表示打算,整句用轻松语气说出一件其实很荒唐的事。
I’m just gonna pop into the library and see if I can find any books on trucks. [chuckles]pop into 里 pop 的 p 和 into 连读,听起来像 po-pinto,中间不留缝。
I’m just gonna pop into the library and see if I can find any books on trucks. [chuckles]惹上麻烦
Okay, just don’t get in trouble.They were able to straighten it out, keep it under wraps, but this is serious.他们把事摆平了,也压住没外传,但这事很严重。 摆平、封口、然后一个 but 把结论拉回严重。前半句是公司处理危机的方式,后半句才是提醒:能盖住的从来不等于解决了。
I get excited. I’m passionate.我会兴奋。我有热情。 两个短句像自我介绍,把情绪和态度摆成卖点。越是把热情说得像产品参数,越显出这场推介会卖的根本不是梦想。
And with all due respect, that was Skipper, sir.恕我直言,先生,那次是斯基珀。 先用客套话铺路,再不动声色地纠正上司:这次不一样。礼貌只是外壳,真正的动作是把责任从旧例里摘出来,指向眼前的新麻烦。
We’ve got a definite situation on our hands.我们手头摊上了一桩实打实的麻烦。 把危机说成一桩摆在手上、必须接住的物件,用 on our hands 让抽象的问题变得可触可感。加一个 definite,等于先把退路堵死。
I’ve started to get all these weirdo feelings.我开始冒出这些怪怪的感觉。 用 weirdo feelings 给一堆说不清的情绪命名,既确切又含糊,正好是青春期的状态。她不知道那是什么,只知道它们开始来了。
Like, I have fear with no specific object.比如,我有害怕,却没有具体对象。 一句话把焦虑定义得精准又朴素:有恐惧,但找不到怕的东西。用最日常的词说出最难描述的状态,这就是这句话能流传的原因。
意思是「恕我直言、冒昧说一句」。在要反驳或纠正对方、又想保持礼貌时用它开场,等于先给对方留面子。
指一个机构里的最高层、头头脑脑,多用于军队或公司。想说要跟高层谈,就是 speak to the top brass。
意思是「把气撒在别人身上」,take it out on someone。受了委屈却冲无辜的人发火,就用它。
是 session 的口语缩写,指一轮活动、一段聚会或会议,比如 gym sesh、idea sesh,语气轻松。
with all due respect。放在句首,后面常接一个不太客气的观点,礼貌归礼貌,话照说不误。
