头等舱来投奔:splurge from habit

有人拖着名牌行李箱迟到进门,先道歉,转头坦白 I'm dead broke(身无分文),却还是坐头等舱来的。被追问时一句 I splurge from habit(我习惯性大手大脚),把没钱还乱花说成改不掉的老毛病。想聊手头紧还忍不住花,或自嘲花钱成习惯,这两句都用得上。

发生了什么

有人拖着名牌旧箱子迟到进门,和屋里的人寒暄,孩子们在旁边吵闹。她先说自己得暂住一阵,接着承认 I'm dead broke(身无分文)。对方问她是不是坐了头等舱,她提到 I've run up some serious debts(欠下大笔债),被追问怎么飞的,只回一句 I splurge from habit(习惯性大手大脚)。对方再追问行李,她解释说旧箱子刻着自己名字缩写,没人会要。想说明手头紧、债台高筑,或自嘲花钱成习惯,这几句都很实用。

But I'm dead broke. Really, the government took everything.

可我真的一贫如洗。真的,政府把一切都拿走了。 dead broke 比 poor 更口语,后面补一句具体归因,惨得有画面。

I really get some bad thoughts when I'm alone.

我一个人待着的时候,真的会冒出一些很糟的念头。 把脆弱说得直白但不煽情,bad thoughts 留白,让听者自己补重量。

I don't know how anyone puts up with those airlines.

我真不知道怎么会有人受得了那些航空公司。 抱怨不说服务差,用 put up with 把‘忍受’说出来,像真被折腾过。

I thought you were tapped out. I'm worse than tapped out, baby.

我以为你只是钱花光了。我比花光还惨,宝贝。 tapped out 被对方复述后立刻加码,worse than 把窘迫变成一句冷幽默。

You know me. I splurge from habit.

你了解我。我大手大脚是习惯。 splurge from habit 把挥霍说成改不掉的老毛病,比 I like shopping 更准。

关于这一章的问题

dead broke 是什么意思?

意思是「身无分文」,形容一点钱都没有。台词里有人说 But I'm dead broke(我身无分文),后面还接 the government took everything(政府把什么都拿走了),说明钱被拿走、手头空了。

「习惯性大手大脚」英语怎么说?

可以说 splurge from habit。台词里有人解释自己没钱还坐头等舱,说 You know me(你了解我),又说 I splurge from habit(我习惯性大手大脚),意思是花钱大手大脚已经成了习惯。

I'm worse than tapped out 语气强在哪?

tapped out 是「钱花光了」;I'm worse than tapped out 等于说比「钱花光」还惨,后面接 baby(宝贝),语气更重。

homey 是夸房子好吗?

homey 是「像家一样温馨」,通常是夸奖;但这里说完,对方紧接一句 Are you kidding me?(你开玩笑吧?),好话没被接住,就带出了反讽的味道。

「忍受」英语怎么说?

可以说 puts up with。台词里有人抱怨航空公司,说 I don't know how anyone puts up with those airlines,就是「真不知道谁能受得了这些航空公司」。
