某物现在卖多少钱 这里的 go for 指售价
Do you know how much it's going for these days? $110.Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 20 / 20 章 · 2'20" · B2
签售桌旁聊散伙：better off without
签售桌前，读者拿着旧漫画追问画师和旧搭档怎么了。有人甩出一句 better off without（没有…反而更好），又把旧搭档比作 brown-bag lunch（自带午饭，这里指把人当累赘）；想劝人放下旧搭档、或委婉损人时，这两句都用得上。
发生了什么
漫画签售桌旁，一位读者拿着旧漫画追问画师和旧搭档为什么散伙。旧物一出现，就有人来一句 a blast from the past（旧日回忆）；听到“本来要出动画”时，一句 Tell me about it（可不是嘛）接住了遗憾；聊到散伙，又出现 better off without（没有…反而更好）。这些说法适合在怀旧、附和吐槽、劝人放下过去时用，语气比直说更轻，也更像日常英语里的随口应答。
这场戏看什么
- 注意粉丝越夸越像在戳班基旧伤
- 看班基怎样用短句把话题推开
- 留意旧刊、动画、搭档三条线并进

And tell me you're not better off without Holden McNeil.你倒是说说，没有霍登·麦克尼尔，你不是过得更好？ 反问把安慰说成判决，逼对方承认分开是升级。
I mean, you were just carrying that guy like a brown-bag lunch, you know what I'm saying?我是说，你以前就是像拎午餐袋一样带着那家伙，你懂我意思吧？ 把搭档贬成随手拎的午餐袋，画面越日常越刻薄。
See? You don't need that McNeil guy, anyway. You do great work on your own.看见没？反正你不需要那个麦克尼尔。你一个人也画得很好。 先替人切断旧搭档，再给能力盖章，是粉丝最会扎心的安慰。
关于这一章的问题
better off without 是什么意思？
意思是「没有…反而更好」。台词里有人说 tell me you're not better off without Holden McNeil，用来反问对方：没了那个人，你是不是反而过得更好。
「可不是嘛」英语怎么说？
可以说 Tell me about it。对话里一方说 that would have been awesome（那肯定超赞），另一方接 Tell me about it，表示「我太懂了／可不是嘛」，不是让对方“告诉我”。
kickback 在这里指什么？
指回扣、私下分成。台词里有人说 you sell it I want a kickback，意思是东西卖了要分给自己一份；不是「踢回去」。
「把角色写死」英语怎么说？
用 kill off。台词里说 you probably shouldn't have killed off Chronic，说的就是把漫画角色写死；也可以引申为把某个角色或项目淘汰掉。
brown-bag lunch 是「自带午饭」吗？
brown-bag lunch 字面是「棕色纸袋午餐；自带午饭」。台词里 carrying that guy like a brown-bag lunch 是比喻，把搭档说成随手拎着的累赘；不是真的在说午饭。
a blast from the past 是什么意思？
指旧日回忆、老熟人。看到旧漫画时一句 A blast from the past，就是感叹「这可是老古董／旧日回忆」；和朋友翻旧照片时也能用。
