- Hi. - Oh, you made it.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 2 / 15 章 · 2'55" · B1
豪宅里一阵寒暄,来访的亲戚先说不愿 impose(添麻烦),又解释已在万豪订房。主人坚持让办公室把酒店账单转过来;后面一句 We're flush(手头宽裕)把借钱的话头挡回去。想学怎么把客气和拒绝说得体面,这几句都用得上。
一对夫妇到豪宅做客,寒暄还没完,就被屋里的气派震住了:一句 Hell of a place(相当了不得的地方)是真心夸,也是拉开差距的感叹。聊到住宿,客人先说不愿 impose(添麻烦),主人却坚持让办公室把酒店账单转到自己这边,客气来回里全是分寸。今晚这顿没约成;后面一句 We're flush(手头宽裕)把借钱的话头挡了回去。学这几句,可以在走亲访友、接待客人、婉拒好意时把话说得热络又不失礼。

Don't worry, I don't need to borrow money. We're flush.别担心,我不是来借钱的。我们手头宽裕。 先堵住借钱猜测,再用 flush 亮底气,逞强感很足。
We've got to make sure we make their stay extra nice.我们得确保把他们的逗留安排得格外周到。 两个 make 连着,热情里透出必须撑住场面的负担。
意思是「相当了不得的地方」,用来夸一个地方很气派。台词里 Hell of a place you got 就是在感叹「你这房子可真气派」,语气比普通夸奖更重。
不是。这里的 flush 是「手头宽裕」,一句 We're flush 就是告诉对方自己有钱、不用借钱。别和厕所冲水的 flush 搞混。
可以说 I don't wanna impose。impose 是「添麻烦;打扰」,去别人家住、请人帮忙前先来一句,显得很有分寸。
语气很坚持,接近「不容你再推」。一句 I insist 就是不让对方再客气,常见于抢着买单、请客吃饭。
用 get a kick out of,意思是「从…得到乐趣」。台词里 They'd get a kick out of that 就是说「他们会觉得那很带劲」,说的是带客人去餐厅这类安排。
