有勇气
Yeah, few have courage in the spotlight.Bombshell · 2019 — 第 4 / 12 章 · 2'26" · B2
一间高层办公室里,年轻女性刚说完自己想在镜头前工作,对面就让她站起来转一圈。I want to convince you that that is where I belong(我想让您相信,镜头前才是我该待的地方)说得再诚恳,也挡不住一句 give me a twirl(转一圈给我看)。面试里听懂这种客气的指令,比背单词更要紧。
艾尔斯的办公室,会面先聊到梅根敢说真话、观众要的是真实,随后一位想在镜头前工作的年轻女性推销自己:I want to convince you that that is where I belong(我想让您相信,镜头前才是我该待的地方),又补一句 I'd be freakin' phenomenal(我会极其出色)。话锋一转,对方夸她漂亮,give me a twirl(转一圈给我看),再让她把裙子往上拉,接着一句 It's a visual medium(电视是靠看的)。这些说法在面试和职场对话里都用得上;最该听懂的是:夸奖后面跟着指令,那就不是夸奖。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语

本章短语
转一圈给我看turn around once for me to see

The tailor said, "Give me a twirl," so he could check the hem.裁缝说“转一圈”,好检查裙摆。

有勇气
Yeah, few have courage in the spotlight.在公众关注下
有人夸梅根在聚光灯下说真话,用的正是 in the spotlight;语气像在赞她勇敢,也为后面的政治闲聊定调。
Yeah, few have courage in the spotlight.观众要的只是…
All audiences want is authenticity.在不让某人做某事的情况下
Let's discuss it without you calling my people racist.定语从句:who 从句修饰 somebody,说明是哪类人;主干是 A liberal is somebody。
A liberal is somebody who wants to live in a future, that he is太…以至于不实际去做
too lazy or too arrogant to actually create.据某人说
Well, in my family, Santa's always been white and, according to my granddaddy, a communist.爷爷/外公——美国南方口语,正式文书用 grandfather
Well, in my family, Santa's always been white and, according to my granddaddy, a communist.顺路来访
有人用 drop by 随口问凯拉为什么来办公室;语气像顺路寒暄,凯拉随后开始介绍自己的经历。
Why did you drop by to see me?问题是/实情是
凯拉被问为什么来,先顿一下,用 the thing is 把话题拉回自己的经历;语气恭敬,也在争取解释空间。
Well, the thing is, sir, I actually started on-air during college in Central Florida. Weather.从直播岗位起步
Well, the thing is, sir, I actually started on-air during college in Central Florida. Weather.使某人相信…
I want to convince you that that is where I belong, Mr. Ailes.我该待的位置
凯拉用 where I belong 向对方表决心,说自己属于这个电视网;语气礼貌,却把求职压成一句身份宣言。
I want to convince you that that is where I belong, Mr. Ailes.宾语从句:convince you that... 第一个 that 引宾语从句,第二个 that 是主语,连读易混。
I want to convince you that that is where I belong, Mr. Ailes.两个 that 连读,前一个轻收,后一个滑进 is。
I want to convince you that that is where I belong, Mr. Ailes.在你们台会极出色
I think I'd be freakin' phenomenal on your network.两个词都重读,后半句快推。
I think I'd be freakin' phenomenal on your network.非常/极其(口语强调)——熟人玩笑或强调,面试正式场合别用
I think I'd be freakin' phenomenal on your network.强调谓语:did 放在动词前不是过去时问句,而是强调‘确实创建了’,语气更硬。
but I did create it. I do run it.转一圈给我看
对方先夸凯拉脸漂亮,紧接着一句 give me a twirl,让她站起来转一圈;语气像试衣服,却把面试变成外貌检查,当下没解释原因,越显得理所当然。
Here, stand up and give me a twirl.stand up and 快说时,up 滑进 and。
Here, stand up and give me a twirl.快速转一圈
Yeah. Just a quick spin.把某物往上拉
Now, pull your dress up and let me see your legs.视觉媒介
It's a visual medium, Kayla.All audiences want is authenticity.观众要的只是真实感。 一句话把收视逻辑压成口号:观众要的只是真实感,短、硬、好引用。
Let's discuss it without you calling my people racist.咱们可以讨论,但别张口就说我的人种族歧视。 把底线包在 let's 里,礼貌外壳下是命令,适合学‘软钉子’。
I want to convince you that that is where I belong, Mr. Ailes.我想让您相信,那才是我该待的地方,艾尔斯先生。 把求职说成归属宣言,礼貌称呼压住野心,比‘我想要这份工作’更狠。
I think I'd be freakin' phenomenal on your network.我觉得我在你们电视网会特别出彩。 freakin' phenomenal 把自夸说得好记,冲劲里带点冒失。
It's a visual medium, Kayla.这是个视觉媒介,凯拉。 用行业术语给越界要求找理由,平静得刺人。
是让人原地「转一圈给我看」。台词里 Here, stand up and give me a twirl 之后接一句 Now?,紧接着 Just a quick spin,就是「就快速转一圈」。
visual medium 的意思是「视觉媒介」,指电视主要靠画面。台词里 It's a visual medium, Kayla 出现在「把裙子撩起来,让我看看你的腿」之后,就是拿电视的性质当理由。
用 the thing is。台词里 Well, the thing is, sir, I actually started on-air during college in Central Florida,就是先垫一句「实情是」,再说自己大学就上过镜。
where I belong。台词里 I want to convince you that that is where I belong 的意思就是「我想让您相信,那才是我该待的地方」。
字面是「在聚光灯下」,意思是「在公众关注下」。台词里一句 few have courage in the spotlight,说的是在众人注视下还敢说真话的人不多。
