薯条没炸好,骂出种族脏话:blow off some steam

穆比快餐店的柜台前,薯条还没炸好,两个人先为擅离岗位吵起来,一句 blow off some steam(发泄一下)把憋着的火气全抖了出来;顾客催单,后来一句种族侮辱语炸翻全场,又有人回一句 you can't taste racism(种族主义是尝不出来的)。想听懂美式吵架里的粗话分寸,这几分钟最值得看。

发生了什么

穆比快餐店柜台前,点餐、催薯条的声音没停,两个人先为擅离岗位互相指责,一句 blow off some steam(发泄一下)把憋着的火气抖了出来。一位女顾客嫌等太久,柜台里随后冒出一句种族侮辱语,场面立刻炸开:有人要退钱,有人不肯吃,还有人一句 you can't taste racism(种族主义是尝不出来的)把气话顶了回去。最后店员退钱、请客赔不是,对方扬言写信给报社。想学怎么用英语抱怨、发火、赔礼,这几句都能直接搬走:give a shit(在乎,粗俗说法)、take this on us(这个算我们请)、make my mark(出人头地)。

关于这一章的问题

blow off some steam 是什么意思?

是「发泄一下」——把憋着的火气散出去。台词里有人说想离开这儿去 blow off some steam,就是找个出口把不痛快放掉。

「擅离岗位」英语怎么说?

abandon your post。台词里一句 It's not my fault you abandoned your post 就是「你擅离岗位,怪不着我」,post 指的是值守的位置。

give a shit 算脏话吗?

算粗话。它是「在乎」的粗俗说法,台词里问 can't you kind of pretend like you still give a shit,就是「能不能装装样子,当自己还在乎点儿」。正式场合别用。

take this on us 是「拿这个砸我们」吗?

不是。on us 是「由我们付钱」,take this on us 就是「这个算我们请」。柜台这边想赔不是,端出东西时说 Here, take this on us。

you can't taste racism 是在夸饭菜吗?

不是夸。字面是「种族主义尝不出来」,台词里是句反讽:一边有人不肯吃柜台做的东西,另一边回这句,意思是味道上尝不出做的人站在哪边。
