Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 4 / 20 章 · 2'11" · B2

朋友来电邀约去俱乐部:hook someone up

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。

发生了什么

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。

hook someone up

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。

本章全部批注

34 句台词里标了 28 处

短语 · A2one of the best + 复数名词

最好的…之一

This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.
语法 · B1one 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.
短语 · A2across the street from + 地点

在…街对面

It's the one from across the street from the post offlce.
短语 · B1have a weird thing for + 名词/人

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.
短语 · B2a shindig is going down

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.
短语 · B1really get into + 活动

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.
语法 · B2how you 'burb flends hate the city

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.
发音goin' down

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.
短语 · B2temp as + 职位

临时做…工作 barkeep 是酒保的老派说法

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?
短语 · B2here's the part where + 句子

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...
短语 · A2invite someone to + 活动/地点

邀我去俱乐部

- Who was that? - Hooper. He invited me to a club.
俚语 · B2chicks

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.
短语 · B1not that kind of + 名词

不是那种…

- Not that kind of club. - So when we leavin'?
短语 · B2hook someone up with someone

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.
短语 · B1mess something up

把…搞砸

- And? - And I don't want you messing it up.
俚语 · B2shit

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.
短语 · B2get to be so + 形容词

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?
短语 · A2how are you gonna get home

你打算怎么回家

Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?
俚语 · B2hook up

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?
短语 · C1my + 形容词 + chum

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.
俚语 · B2Like that'll happen

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.
短语 · B2share a moment

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.
发音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.
短语 · C1make something abundantly clear

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.
语法 · B2one 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.

看懂「朋友来电邀约去俱乐部」

发音重点

  • goin' down — goin' 的 g 已省掉,快读时直接滑到 down
  • begin and end — and 常只留一个轻 n,begin 和 end 之间别断开
  • shared a moment — shared 的 d 轻轻滑进 a,moment 压重音
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。

关于这一章的问题

hook someone up 是什么意思?

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。

「对…有莫名偏好」英语怎么说?

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」。

here's the part where 在这里指什么?

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」。

barkeep 是什么工作?

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。

shared a moment 是表白吗?

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」。

「你可真会搞笑」英语怎么说?

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。
