喝朗姆亲鳕鱼的入籍礼:take the plunge

酒吧里挤满了滞留旅客,手风琴一响、卡拉 OK 一开,气氛越来越热,最后大家决定办一场「入籍礼」:一句 Let's make these people honorary Newfoundlanders!(咱们让这些人当荣誉纽芬兰人!),接着端出劣质朗姆 Screech,让人 take the plunge(豁出去试一把),还要 kiss the fish(亲那条鱼)。想学英语里起哄、壮胆、玩梗的说法,这段最好笑。

发生了什么

到八点,酒吧已经挤满来自世界各地的旅客,大家聊住处、聊见闻,伙计一趟趟去补啤酒和烈酒;过一会儿有人跳进屋后河里游泳,接着本地小伙拿起手风琴和提琴,还有人掏出丑棍,把船歌和卡拉 OK 一路唱起来。最后大家决定办一场「尖啸礼」,要把这些旅客变成荣誉纽芬兰人:先喝一口劣质朗姆 Screech,再 kiss the fish(亲一条鳕鱼)。有人问一对没结婚的情侣你们婚姻怎么运作,结果当场被起哄「想结吗」,女方一句 Well, why not?(那,有何不可?)就把婚定了。想学英语里起哄、被劝、半推半就答应的说法,这段又闹又暖。
