被强行扣上(恶名)
有人在台上翻行业里的旧历史:黑人角色一出现,常被白人作者扣上种族主义名字。这里不是动手打人,是说标签像巴掌一样拍下来,没得商量。
was introduced, usually, by white artists and writers, they got slapped with racist names...Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 2 / 20 章 · 2'59" · C1
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)。
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。

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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
