最好的…之一
This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 4 / 20 章 · 2'11" · B2
两人边画路灯边商量晚上吃什么,电话那头自报 Hooper here(我是胡珀),邀他去 Meow Mix(喵喵酒吧),还搬出 Alyssa 的名字;挂了电话,有人先问 So when we leavin'?(那我们什么时候走),这边回一句 hookin' me up with Alyssa(给我和艾莉莎牵线)。想学电话邀约和朋友抬杠,这通电话里全是现成句子。
开场两人在赶下一期刊物,先夸一句这是画过最好的路灯,再聊晚上是叫披萨还是看加拿大剧。电话响起,那头自报 Hooper here(我是胡珀),说今晚有 club shindig(热闹聚会),自己在 Meow Mix(喵喵酒吧)临时做 barkeep(酒保,老派说法)。这边先说赶稿、明早还有会,一听是 Alyssa 让来的,马上改口「我会去」。挂了电话,有人先问 So when we leavin'?(那我们什么时候走),这边才回一句 hookin' me up with Alyssa(给我和艾莉莎牵线);最后那串独白又把 shared a moment(有过暧昧的一刻)翻来覆去说,还断言这姑娘爱上他了。想练电话邀约、朋友间调侃抬杠,都能用上。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
got a weird thing forbarkeephere's the part wheremade abundantly clear
本章短语
给某人牵线搭桥set someone up with someone
有人问“我们什么时候走”,这边先用 We? 顶回去,再说这是一次 hook someone up(牵线)的安排——原话是 hookin' me up with Alyssa,语气不耐烦。
A good friend can hook someone up with a job interview.好朋友能帮人牵线,安排一次面试。
对…有莫名偏好
酒保(老派说法)
接下来该你接这句了
把…说得再清楚不过
你可真会搞笑(反话)
34 句台词里标了 28 处
最好的…之一
This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.定语从句:省略 that 的定语从句修饰 streetlights,ever 与最高级连用表示“你画过最…之一”。
This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.在…街对面
It's the one from across the street from the post offlce.对…有莫名偏好
有人用 got a weird thing for 打趣对方爱看加拿大情节剧,句子带笑,不是认真批评;紧接着一句拿“aboot”的口音梗回敬,气氛像熟人互损。
You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama.要办一场热闹聚会
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.会非常喜欢并投入 get into 不是“进入”,这里指喜欢、投入
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.宾语从句:know 后接 how 引导的宾语从句,语序是陈述句,不是 how do you hate。
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.goin' 的 g 已省掉,快读时直接滑到 down
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.临时做…工作 barkeep 是酒保的老派说法
- Where is it? - Meow Mix. I'm temping as barkeep.准备下一期刊物 issue 这里指刊物的一期
We're prepping the next issue. We got that stupid meeting in the morning.用…开头又以…结尾
How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?and 常只留一个轻 n,begin 和 end 之间别断开
How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?接下来该你接这句了
电话里抛出艾莉莎的名字后,一句 here's the part where you say... 像写剧本一样提示对方下一句该说 “I'll be there”,语气笃定,带点设套。
She asked me to invite you. Now, here's the part where you say...邀我去俱乐部
- Who was that? - Hooper. He invited me to a club.姑娘们(老派俚语)——熟人随口说,带性别化味道,正式场合别用
Man, when's that faggot gonna learn? You like chicks.不是那种…
- Not that kind of club. - So when we leavin'?给我和…牵线 字面像“把…挂起来”,这里指介绍认识
We? You can't go. He's hookin' me up with Alyssa.把…搞砸
- And? - And I don't want you messing it up.破事;东西——熟人粗口,正式场合和陌生人面前别用
I care about your shit. Maybe I'll hook up myself.你可真会搞笑(反话)
有人刚说自己也想去,被拒绝后用一本正经的 one man 句式回敬,表面像夸好笑,实际在挖苦。句子里的 get to be so funny 就是这股反话的落点。
How does one man get to be so funny?你打算怎么回家
Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?搭上人;勾搭上——朋友间谈约会,正式场合说 start dating
Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?我这没脑子的老友
有人不信对方能得手,被泼冷水后用旧小说腔的 my witless chum 反击,语气像损友斗嘴,不是真骂。
- Like that'll happen. - Let me explain, my witless chum.才不会呢——熟人泼冷水说反话,正式场合别用
- Like that'll happen. - Let me explain, my witless chum.有过暧昧的一刻
有人结结巴巴解释那晚和艾莉莎的关系,用 shared a moment 含糊带过,语气吞吞吐吐,又想把话说圆。
The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.shared 的 d 轻轻滑进 a,moment 压重音
The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.把…说得再清楚不过
有人把一个小小的“瞬间”说成重大发现,用 made abundantly clear 收束,像在宣布一个不容置疑的结论,语气一本正经。
And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.被动语态:把 one thing 放句首,用 was made clear 强调“被说清楚的是这一点”。
And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?你怎么能用同一个词开头又结尾来问问题? 当场拆穿对方重复用词的怪问法,像调侃又像佩服,语感很活。
I care about your shit. Maybe I'll hook up myself.我是在乎你那点破事的。说不定我自己也能搭上一个。 先认下对方的感情,再用 Maybe I'll hook up myself 把话题抢回自己,损友式转折很利落。
How does one man get to be so funny?一个人怎么能这么好笑? 用 one man 的正式腔包装挖苦,表面夸好笑,实际说你可真可笑。
The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.那天晚上,我们俩,艾莉莎和我,我们,呃,算是,有过一刻。 结巴的插入语把心虚演出来,最后 we shared a moment 又突然郑重,语气落差很好笑。
And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.就在那一刻,有一件事变得再清楚不过。 用被动和 abundantly 把私人小事说成郑重宣告,越正经越好笑。
给某人牵线搭桥,介绍对象。台词里说 He's hookin' me up with Alyssa,就是有人要撮合他和艾莉莎,所以带个朋友去才不合适。
got a weird thing for。台词里有人说 You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama,意思是「你对加拿大苦情剧有股莫名的着迷」。
字面是「接下来就是…的那部分」,实际是把话递到对方嘴边:说完 She asked me to invite you(她让我来请你)就接这句,等于「你现在该说『我去』了」。
酒保,一个老派说法。台词里说自己 temping as barkeep,是临时在酒吧做这份工,不是长期干。
不算正式表白。shared a moment 字面是「共享了一个瞬间」,实际指两人有过一段暧昧、特别的时刻,比普通聊天更进一步;台词里说完这句,紧接着就断言「这姑娘爱上我了」。
get to be so funny,整句是 How does one man get to be so funny? 字面像在问「一个人怎么能这么逗」,实际是反话,不是在夸对方幽默。
