老板摊牌和初次相遇：here's the thing

公司老板对着一桩官司满不在乎，一句 Millie, Millie Rusk? No sweat.（米莉·拉斯克？小事一桩。）就把对手打发了，还理直气壮地承认撒谎：Well, here's the thing. When I said that, I was lying.（事情是这样的，我那么说的时候在撒谎。）。后来盖伊一句 I levelled up.（我升级了。）亮出身份。想学老板式嘴脸，这段很带劲。

发生了什么

苏纳米公司的老板对着一桩官司满不在乎，直接说 Millie, Millie Rusk? No sweat.（米莉·拉斯克？小事一桩。），因为她拿不出证据，而她的前搭档还在替他打工。谈到续集，他更坦白：Well, here's the thing. When I said that, I was lying.（事情是这样的，我那么说的时候在撒谎。）。另一条线上，米莉遇到一个升级快得离谱的玩家，追问他到底是谁，他只说自己一直在银行上班，还说 I levelled up.（我升级了。）。他提到 I felt trapped.（我觉得被困住了。），也说遇见她才决定改变，他带她去了和巴迪常来的秘密据点。想学老板式推脱、坦白，以及「升级」「被困住」的说法，这段很实用。

Good morning, sheeple!
俚语 · C1sheeple

俚语 · C1Drop the deuce

来第二发（也暗指拉大便的俚语）——deuce 是数字二，drop a deuce 在俚语里指拉大便，这里被拿来戏说给肯德基出第二部，带粗俗双关。正式场合不要用。

Uh, yum. Drop the deuce on him.

看懂「老板摊牌和初次相遇」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 get rid of 说除掉
  • 见到 don't buy it 知道是不信
  • 能听懂 I was lying 的甩锅
  • 分清 the finger 不是真手指

发音重点

  • Get down — Get down 里 Get 末尾的 t 在 down 的 d 前几乎不发音，两个词连成一拍，听起来像 ge-down。
  • buy it — buy 结尾的 /aɪ/ 直接滑进 it，常连成 /ˈbaɪɪt/；it 别重读，重心留在 buy 上。
  • let it go — let it go 里 let 末尾的 t 弹成轻轻的 d，连上 it，听起来像 le-di-go 一气呵成。
Well, here's the thing. When I said that, I was lying.

呃，事情是这样的。我说那句话的时候，是在撒谎。 把铺垫做足再一刀切开：先给个缓冲，再承认自己从头就在骗你。

We all have our secrets, I guess.

我想，我们都有自己的秘密。 不揭穿也不追问，用一句人人适用的话替对方留了台阶，体谅藏在轻描淡写里。

I don't know, but I don't buy it.

我不信。 四个词干脆地把一整套说辞挡在门外，不用解释就能表态，日常质疑谁的话都能直接套。

I've never given anyone any of my fingers.

我从来没给过任何人我的手指。 把「对世界竖中指」按字面理解，一本正经地回一句，笑点和人物性格全在这一句里。

关于这一章的问题

here's the thing 是什么意思？

意思是「事情是这样的」，用来引出解释或坦白前的铺垫。Well, here's the thing 就是「事情是这样的」，后面往往跟着实话或者理由。

No sweat 是什么意思？

意思是「小事一桩、没问题」，表示某事很容易办或不用客气。Millie, Millie Rusk? No sweat 就是「米莉·拉斯克？小事一桩」。

level up 是什么意思？

意思是「升级、进阶」。游戏里指角色变强，日常也能拿来说「我在进步」。台词里 I levelled up 就是「我升级了」。

「竖中指」英语怎么说？

give the finger。句子 Giving this whole world the finger 就是「对整个世界竖中指」，表示蔑视和挑衅，日常别乱用。

「我们都有自己的秘密」英语怎么说？

We all have our secrets。台词里 We all have our secrets, I guess 就是「我想，我们都有自己的秘密」，用来岔开话题很自然。
