Clerks II · 2006 — 第 7 / 17 章 · 2'42" · B2

为送别礼订人驴秀：at its finest

给即将离开的但丁挑送别礼，一个人认真推荐精灵公主佩剑，另一个却要订一场成人秀；听到「那是人兽交」时，一句 at its finest（处于最佳状态）把荒唐说成最高级。想学怎么用英语张罗送别、打电话订演出，fingers crossed（但愿好运）也用得上。

发生了什么

有人被问在忙什么，说要给即将离开的但丁准备 going away present（告别礼物）；礼物从精灵公主佩剑一路聊到成人秀。听到「那是人兽交」的说法，回一句 at its finest（处于最佳状态），荒唐里带着反讽。为了订下当晚演出，还得借手机、打电话，电话那头让人等候时，一句 fingers crossed（但愿好运）正是等回复时的口头禅。送别、讽刺和祝好运这几类场景，都能直接搬用这些说法。

Well, what's sexier than an elf princess's sword?

嗯，还有什么比精灵公主的剑更性感？ 把极客收藏和性感并列，反问制造反差笑点。

这种水准的王尔德式文字游戏，真得给它鼓个掌。 用高雅文学评论包装下流双关，一本正经地挖苦。

关于这一章的问题

going away present 是什么意思？

指送给要离开的人（离职、搬家或远行）的告别礼物。台词里有人正为但丁准备这样一份礼物。

「但愿好运」英语怎么说？

可以说 fingers crossed。电话里被要求等候时，一句 Fingers crossed 就是祈祷这通预约电话能成。

at its finest 是在夸对方吗？

不一定。它本身表示「处于最佳状态」，台词里接在「那是人兽交」之后说 At its finest, I hope，语气是拿荒唐话反讽。

lock up 是锁门的意思吗？

不只。台词里 lock up Kinky Kelly for tonight 是把当晚演出「订下来」，不是把门锁上；lock up 也可表示锁门，要看宾语。

打电话被搁在一边等候，英语怎么说？

I'm on hold. 就是「他们让我等着」，on hold 表示通话中在等待对方回来。
