漫展座谈为星战吵翻:chickens come home to roost

漫展座谈上,有人讲黑人角色被白人作者扣歧视外号的老账,也有人搬出《星球大战》的兰多反驳,一句 holy trilogy(被供上神坛的三部曲)把火点着。想让一句话显得「这事儿早晚有报应」,就用 chickens come home to roost(旧账终会找上门)。

发生了什么

漫画展的座谈一开场,有人先翻旧账:早年的漫画里只要有非裔角色,就常被白人作者 slapped with(被强行扣上恶名)歧视性的名字,还被 singled them out(被单独挑出来称作)某种带侮辱的叫法。话题接着转到《星球大战》:有人觉得兰多是正面榜样,另一方却一开口就 invoke the holy trilogy(搬出被供上神坛的三部曲),把星战讲成白人把黑人赶走的故事,最后落到 Gentriflcation(士绅化、社区高档化)这个词上。想练怎么用英文吵架讲道理,这几个说法最合适:贴标签、捧上神坛、社区换血,一次学全。

We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary.

我们保持真实,而且我们会不惜一切手段争得尊重。 两句口号一短一硬,“keep it real”接地气,“by any means”像宣战。

Always some white boy gotta invoke the holy trilogy.

总有某个白人小子要搬出那套神圣三部曲。 把星战三部曲叫“holy trilogy”,一句翻白眼把对方的论据打成宗教。

关于这一章的问题

「被强行扣上恶名」英语怎么说?

slapped with。台词里是角色被白人作者 slapped with racist names,外号、罪名、罚款都能接在后面。

chickens come home to roost 是什么意思?

旧账终会找上门,做过的事早晚要还。台词里说 The chickens is comin' home to roost,就是宣布该来的躲不掉。

holy trilogy 指什么?

指被捧上神坛的那套三部曲,这里是《星球大战》。一句 invoke the holy trilogy,说的是总有人一开口就搬出这套经典当证据。

「士绅化」英语怎么说?

Gentriflcation。台词里有人把它当作对星战的解读喊出来,指老社区被有钱人挤走、整片换血。

keepin' it real 是什么语气?

是很直、不装的表态,意思是保持真实、不糊弄人。它跟 by any means necessary(不惜一切手段)连在一起,语气更硬。
