好友逼问这段关系:throw down the gauntlet

办公室里,一个人劈头就问对方和那个女孩到底怎么回事;一句 She's programming you(她在给你洗脑),火气立刻点着。吵到后面又甩出 throw down the gauntlet(下战书),等于撂话逼你二选一。想学怎么把重话说出口、又不只靠脏话,这几句很够用。

发生了什么

办公室里,两个人从手上的活吵到感情:一个劈头就问对方和那个女孩到底怎么回事,甩出 She's programming you(她在给你洗脑),又用 passive-aggressive(消极抵抗的;暗里带刺的)形容这种话,还嫌对方骨子里并不歧视人却偏要这样讲话。对方反问这能证明什么;吵到后面,一个用十字路口和百元大钞做假设,说另外三个选项全是他自己想象出来的,接着一句 have no shot at(根本没机会)把话钉死,又撂下 throw down the gauntlet(下战书),意思是「要么我,要么她」。最后对方承认自己爱上了她。想学朋友吵架怎么步步升级、怎么把话说狠,这些说法日常都用得上。

Most persistent traveler on the road. That's not the path of least resistance.

路上最执着的旅人。那可不是最省力的那条路。 用旅人比喻接 path of least resistance,把“你总挑难路”说得像判词。

Everything's gotta be a fuckin' challenge for you.

对你来说,什么事都非得他妈是个挑战。 gotta be a challenge 把性格抱怨压缩成一句,脏话加重了无奈和火气。

This relationship is affecting you, our work and our friendship.

关于这一章的问题

throw down the gauntlet 是什么意思?

意思是「下战书」或「摊牌」,表示正式向对方发出挑战。台词里说总有一天要 throw down the gauntlet,再补一句「要么我,要么她」,就是把话撂明、逼对方选边。

「根本没机会」英语怎么说?

可以说 have no shot at。台词里 You know you have no shot at getting her into bed! 就是在说:你根本没机会把她弄上床。

「最省力的做法」英语怎么说?

是 the path of least resistance。台词里说 That's not the path of least resistance,意思是你偏不走最省事的那条路。

programming you 是在说写程序吗?

不是。这里 programming you 是「给你洗脑/操控你」的意思,指对方觉得那女孩在影响他的想法。前一句还在说 We're just friends,可见这是句带火气的指控。

what a shock 是真心觉得惊讶吗?

多半是反讽。台词里 Oh, what a shock 后面紧跟一句「根本不可能」,连起来就是「哟真意外啊」,并不是真惊讶。
