躲着;避着
Oh, you're all here, hiding from the invaders.Downton Abbey: A New Era · 2022 — 第 3 / 18 章 · 1'39" · B2
唐顿来了拍电影的剧组,男星德克斯特一进门就让人眼睛一亮。他明明是英国人,却跑去美国 try my luck(碰碰运气);另一头,法国主人非要留客住别墅,wouldn't hear of it(坚决不答应)。想学英国人那种有分寸的客气和自嘲,这段最典型。
唐顿迎来一批拍电影的客人,玛丽把女星达尔格利什介绍给父亲罗伯特,随后接待男星盖伊·德克斯特。罗伯特说自己和家人很快要 are off to(即将前往)里维埃拉;法国主人让他们住别墅,还 wouldn't hear of it(坚决不答应)住酒店。德克斯特很羡慕,讲起自己十年前去美国 try my luck(碰碰运气),再没回来,和一帮英国同乡组成 Hollywood Raj(好莱坞英属圈),每周打板球,the weather never stops play(天气从不叫停比赛)。他还提起被困酒店屋顶的旧事,罗伯特立刻来了兴致。想学英国人寒暄、自嘲、讲往事的说法,这段最适合。

躲着;避着
Oh, you're all here, hiding from the invaders.真是个惊喜
Sybbie! Hello, darling. What a lovely surprise.派人开车送某人
Tom had her driven so she could be with her cousins while we're in France.have 加宾语加过去分词:have 后面接宾语再加过去分词,表示让别人替自己做某事或让某事被安排。这里说她被人开车送来,动作不是她做的,而是汤姆安排的,使役结构把安排者和被安排者分得很清楚。
Tom had her driven so she could be with her cousins while we're in France.理由多的是
Any number of reasons, all good.主演之一
She is one of the stars of our film.坚决不答应;连提都别提
法国别墅的主人得知客人想住酒店,坚持让他们住进别墅,一口回绝了别的安排。
- You've told our host in France that we're staying at an hotel? - Oh, he wouldn't hear of it.比……强;某物可就不行了
He seems a very nice chap, and his English is flawless, which is more than can be said for my French.which 引导非限定定语从句:which 指代前面整句内容,补充一句评价。它不限定先行词,而是顺着话头再加一层比较,把对方的英语和自己的法语摆在一起,玩笑就藏在这个从句里。
He seems a very nice chap, and his English is flawless, which is more than can be said for my French.家伙;老兄——英式口语,指男人,带亲切或随意感,多见于较老的用法。可对朋友或熟人用,不宜用于正式文书。
He seems a very nice chap, and his English is flawless, which is more than can be said for my French.照顾;招待
She'll look after you, as the rest of us are off to the Riviera.我们其余的人
She'll look after you, as the rest of us are off to the Riviera.the rest 抱成一团,of 弱化为 /əv/,整串像 /ðəˌrestəvˈʌs/,us 收得轻。
She'll look after you, as the rest of us are off to the Riviera.虚拟条件句:条件从句里用过去式表示与现在事实相反的假设,主句相应使用过去将来形式。这里说明说话人其实走不开,只能用假设表达心意,委婉又留余地。
I'd come with you if I could.碰碰运气
好莱坞演员向庄园主人讲起自己十年前去美国闯荡的经历。
I went over to America ten years ago to try my luck, and I've been there ever since.从那以后一直
I went over to America ten years ago to try my luck, and I've been there ever since.不是唯一一个
Hmm. I'm not the only one.call 加宾语加名词补足语:call 后面接宾语再跟一个名词,给宾语贴上称呼。这里把一群在好莱坞的英国人叫作某个圈子,用一个补足语就把身份和圈子感交代清楚。
They call us the Hollywood Raj, and we all play cricket once a week.叫停比赛;打断正事
演员谈到好莱坞的英国人每周打板球,顺势拿天气开了个玩笑。
And the weather never stops play.被困在屋顶上
- Last time I was there, I was marooned on the roof of the Negresco with Ronald Colman and Gloria Swanson.marooned 末尾 d 搭上 on,常连成 /məˈruːndɒn/,再顺势带出 the roof。
- Last time I was there, I was marooned on the roof of the Negresco with Ronald Colman and Gloria Swanson.那件事的后半段
On the roof? You can tell us the rest of that story at dinner.我怎么知道
How should I know?should 末尾 d 与 I 贴合成 /ʃʊdaɪ/,两个词几乎挤成一个,know 收尾轻落。
How should I know?He seems a very nice chap, and his English is flawless, which is more than can be said for my French.他看着是个不错的人,英语也无可挑剔,我的法语可就不敢这么说了。 先夸对方英语无可挑剔,再拿自己的法语做对照,自嘲而不失分寸,英式幽默全在 more than can be said for 这半句里。
I went over to America ten years ago to try my luck, and I've been there ever since.十年前我去美国碰运气,从那以后就一直待在那儿。 用 try my luck 把一次远行说成一场押注,再用 ever since 收住十几年光阴,一句话讲完一个人的选择与坚持。
They call us the Hollywood Raj, and we all play cricket once a week.他们管我们叫好莱坞英属圈,我们每周还打一次板球。 先用一个戏称给自己人贴标签,再补一件每周照做的板球小事,把异乡人的抱团与乡愁写得轻快又具体。
On the roof? You can tell us the rest of that story at dinner.在屋顶上?剩下的故事你留到晚饭时讲给我们听吧。 一句反问先吊起好奇,再用 You can tell us... at dinner 把邀请和期待一并递出,既不长篇追问,也不放过故事,是英式社交里逗人开口的漂亮说法。
意思是坚决不答应、连提都别提。戏里法国主人不肯让客人住酒店,说 he wouldn't hear of it,就是「他坚决不答应」。既是客气,也是热情的坚持。
用 try my luck。德克斯特说自己十年前去美国 to try my luck,就是「去碰碰运气」。换工作、去新城市、试新机会,都能用它。
字面是「叫停比赛」,来自板球,引申为打断正在进行的事。德克斯特说 the weather never stops play,是说天气好得从不妨碍他们打球。
就是 the Hollywood Raj。德克斯特说 They call us the Hollywood Raj,指当年在好莱坞打拼的英国演员圈子。Raj 原是印度语里「统治」的意思,这里带点自嘲。
意思是「这就动身去、即将前往」。戏里说 the rest of us are off to the Riviera,就是「我们其余人要去里维埃拉了」。日常说去哪里旅行很常用。
