意外得到一笔钱
有人让奥吉讲中奖经过,语气兴奋又卖关子;come into money 听来像继承,实际是彩票横财。
We came into some money. Tell him how, Augie.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 3 / 15 章 · 2'45" · B2
有人买彩票中了二十万,正兴奋地讲中奖经过,对面却抛出 low-risk, but very high-yield(低风险、高回报)的说法,劝他把钱投进加勒比酒店项目。听到 Am I right?(对吧?)和 make a killing(大赚一笔),就知道这是在劝人投钱。
有人买彩票中了二十万,兴冲冲讲起自己以前当救生员、每周攒钱,旁边还有人补一句他中奖时手都在抖。说着说着,话题从庆祝变成投资:对方抛出 low-risk, but very high-yield(低风险、高回报)的说法,回报不是百分之六七,而是百分之二十,项目是加勒比的一批酒店;有人用 You need money to make money. Am I right?(钱生钱嘛,对吧?)帮腔,也有人劝 make a killing(大赚一笔),话里话外都是别错过这个机会。想听懂聚会上的投资劝说、劝人入局,这几句都用得上。

Here, for doing your duty.省略句:前面省略了 That's,只留 Not bad taste,口语里更轻快,也更像顺口打趣。

Not bad taste for a philistine businessman, huh?I never held that kind of money in my hands. I mean, ever.我手里从没拿过那么多钱。我是说,从来没有。 重复 ever 把一辈子没碰过这么多钱的震撼说透。
I'm not talking about 6 or 7 percent. I'm talking about 20 percent.我说的不是百分之六或七,而是百分之二十。 两个数字对比加重复句式,像推销员把诱饵一步步抬高。
You need money to make money. Am I right?你得有钱才能赚钱。对吧? 把资本逻辑说成常识,再用反问逼在场人点头。
It'd be great for them. Make a killing.这对他们再好不过。能大赚一笔。 用轻巧口吻把暴利说成顺带好事,推手姿态全出来了。
Not bad taste for a philistine businessman, huh?对一个没品位的商人来说,品味还不错,是吧? 先夸后损再反问,熟人间的反讽恭维一句到位。
意思是「大赚一笔」。台词里 Make a killing 说的是他们能靠这个项目大赚一笔,是在劝人别错过机会。
说 low-risk, but very high-yield。台词里有人用它形容一个投资项目,回报不是百分之六七,而是百分之二十;随后又提到加勒比的一批酒店。
意思是「一辈子就一次」。有人说 this is a once-in-a-lifetime,用来强调眼前这个机会极其难得,错过就不会再有。
用 come into money。台词里 We came into some money 就是「我们意外得了一笔钱」,后面讲起买彩票中奖,说的就是这笔钱。
它不是认真求答案,而是边说边拉对方认同,类似「对吧?」。You need money to make money. Am I right? 就是拿听起来很在理的话推人点头。
字面是「没品位的商人」。但紧跟着前一句有人夸礼物漂亮,这句更像拿这个标签反着打趣:嘴上贬人没品味,实际在夸礼物挑得好,不是真骂。
