抱歉让您久等
Oh, I am so sorry for the wait.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 1 / 15 章 · 2'38" · B2
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。
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。

Well, no wonder you're late.到处跑;瞎忙
Well, they're loud. Stop running around.到底怎么回事——熟人吐槽时用,正式场合和小孩面前别说。
Christ, this kid's got-- What the hell is it? ADD?kidding 的 d 轻弹一下,me 不要拖长,听感更像一连串。
- Yeah. Your place is homey. - Are you kidding me?随性、不做作的魅力 这里不是夸高级,是给不够体面的住处找台阶
No, I mean, it's got a very-- Well, it's casual charm.别闹了——对熟人或孩子说;对上司会显得像训人。

I need to stay here for a while. No, I do.现金用光
I'm out of cash. Okay.从某处搬走

I really get some bad thoughts when I'm alone.一夜没睡
You know, I was up all last night. I was so anxious Yeah? about moving hem I wasn't sure how angry you still were. Oh, well...宾语从句:how 引导从句作 sure 的补足语,语序是 how + 形容词 + 主语 + 动词。
You know, I was up all last night. I was so anxious Yeah? about moving hem I wasn't sure how angry you still were. Oh, well...you'd 快说时只剩轻轻的 d,重音落在 think 和 first class。

有人被追问头等舱,马上转去骂航空公司,用 puts up with 表示‘谁能受得了这种服务’。
I don't know how anyone puts up with those airlines.宾语从句:how 从句作 know 的宾语,内部用陈述语序 anyone puts up,不用倒装。
I don't know how anyone puts up with those airlines.一大笔钱 不是命运,是指价格高得惊人
Isn't first class a fortune? Yes, I was quite shocked.否定疑问句:否定疑问句常不求解 yes/no,而是表示惊讶或不信:头等舱不是一大笔钱吗?

有人解释自己不只是没钱,还 run up debts(欠下债),欠的还不是小数目,已经压身。

So how did you fly first class?习惯性大手大脚
被问没钱怎么还坐头等舱,她先拿‘你了解我’挡一下,再把挥霍说成 splurge from habit(习惯性大手大脚),像改不掉的老毛病。
You know me. I splurge from habit.瞒着政府/税务 Uncle Sam 指美国政府或税务部门

a great investment when you buy it at Graff or Van Cleef until you're desperate for money and被迫出售
forced to sell, and then it seems you can't give it away.白送也送不掉 这里指卖都卖不掉,不是单纯捐赠
forced to sell, and then it seems you can't give it away.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。
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。
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。
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「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。
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」。
