拳赛夜吵到姐妹翻脸:slick operator

客厅里拳赛正吵,啤酒喝个不停,茉莉只想让人把电视调小一点。有人甩出一句 all work and no play(只工作不玩耍),也有人用 slick operator(圆滑的老手)说她丈夫。想学会不动声色地挖苦人,这几句都能直接搬走。

发生了什么

客厅电视里拳赛正热闹,几个人边喝啤酒边看,茉莉却想安静学习。一开场就有人喊 keep it down(把声音压低,安静点)。聊到用电脑学习,一句 no aptitude for it(对这事没天分)说得又无奈又自嘲。有人用 all work and no play(只工作不玩耍)劝她放松,也有人用 slick operator(圆滑的老手)形容她丈夫。想学怎么在聚会里抱怨、自嘲、暗讽,这几句都很实用。

关于这一章的问题

slick operator 是什么意思?

意思是「圆滑的老手」,常指会来事、让人有点提防的人。台词用它说她丈夫,还提到他勾搭她的女性朋友。

「只工作不玩耍」英语怎么说?

可以说 all work and no play。台词里就是 life ain't all work and no play,意思是生活不能光干活不玩乐。

「很有钱」英语怎么说?

可以说 loaded,意思是「很有钱」。台词问的是她有钱的时候,别人还在酒吧调酒、端盘子。

keep it down 是「继续往下」吗?

不是。这里是「把声音压低,安静点」,有人嫌电视和聊天太吵,才喊 keep it down。

beating my door down 字面是敲门吗?

字面是「一直敲我的门」,实际说「踏破门槛」,指很多人争着找上门。台词里 no one's beating my door down 就是没人上门追我。
