这场戏:谋划杀掉再解剖
第 20 章 · 共 22 章 · 4'40"
会议室里,一伙人拍板「先杀后解剖」,哈特森还说想学解剖,对方当场翻手机开课,一句 First, you need to locate the anus(首先,你得先找到肛门)把正事全带偏了。另一边瘪四和大头蛋摸进一辆车,边倒车边互相吹捧 you're on a roll(顺风顺水)。夸人状态好、吐槽别人跑偏,这段都用得上。
一句 First, you need to locate the anus(首先,你得先找到肛门)把解剖课上成闹剧
on the same team 站在同一边on the contrary 恰恰相反locate the anus 找到肛门in the first place 一开始、本来
互相吹捧 you're on a roll(顺风顺水),还把跟踪者猜成外星人
on a roll 顺风顺水、连着走运happens to be 碰巧是……run out of 用完、耗尽this baby 这宝贝(指车)
会议室里,两拨人本来在争两个小子到底是外星人还是航天飞机上的人,最后想通了——反正一伙想弄死,一伙想解剖,于是握手说 We're all on the same team(我们其实是一伙的)。哈特森支支吾吾地表示自己对解剖很好奇,对方却说 on the contrary(正相反),一分钟就能讲完,还翻出手机图片:First, you need to locate the anus(首先,你得先找到肛门)。另一边,瘪四和大头蛋溜进一辆车,一边倒车一边互相夸 you're on a roll(顺风顺水),上路后还猜跟踪者是金星人或大角星六号。想表达「目标一致」「恰恰相反」「顺风顺水」,这场戏全有。
