Clerks II · 2006 — 第 14 / 16 章 · 3'24" · B2

牢房里翻旧账：smooth things over

牢房里两个人从牢房设计一路吵到十年前谁拖累谁，一句 I'm holding you back, right?（我拖你后腿了，是吧？）把指责原样顶回去。最后有人说要 smooth things over（缓和关系），再去佛罗里达重新开始——吵架想收场、又不想先低头，这两句都用得上。

发生了什么

牢房里，两个人先拿牢房设计开玩笑，转眼就为谁毁了谁的人生吵起来。有人甩出一句 chaos incarnate（混乱的化身），等于说对方走到哪儿都把麻烦带到哪儿；接着又翻出十年前的旧账，拿 shit or get off the pot（要么动手，要么让位）说对方当年也催过行动。吵到最后，有人放话要去找艾玛，smooth things over（缓和关系），再去佛罗里达重新开始。想吐槽朋友、催人做决定、或者吵完想收场，这几句都能派上用场。

关于这一章的问题

chaos incarnate 是什么意思？

意思是“混乱的化身”，说某人走到哪儿都把麻烦带到哪儿。戏里有人用它给对方下判词，不是字面“被混乱附身”。

「要么动手，要么让位」英语怎么说？

说 shit or get off the pot。字面是“拉屎，不然就从马桶上下来”，实际催人别再占着位置空谈；很粗，熟人之间才用。

smooth things over 是“把东西抹平”吗？

不是。它指用道歉、解释或让步把闹僵的关系缓和下来；戏里有人说要去找艾玛把关系说开，再离开。

get my shit together 能对老板说吗？

最好别。它带 shit，意思是“把生活或状态整理好”，朋友间可以说；正式场合换成不带脏话的说法更稳。

rag on 只是“抱怨”吗？

不只是。rag on 是连续拿人开涮、挑毛病，比一般抱怨更口语；戏里有人说不愿整天数落顾客、白吃白喝。
