猴子总害得剧组重拍:down-to-earth

重聚特辑里,主创讲起当年那只猴子马塞尔:它得 hit its mark(踩到点),一不配合,全组排练好的包袱就 get messed up(被搞砸),只能一遍遍重拍。后面观众说最爱的那集,是大家挤在公寓里为座位吵到 it all escalates(越闹越大)。想用英语吐槽拍片和讲名场面,这段很带感。

发生了什么

重聚特辑里,主创先讲了当年拍猴子戏的苦:马塞尔得 hit its mark(踩到点),稍不配合,全组精心排练的包袱就 get messed up(被搞砸),只能一遍遍重来,还有人半开玩笑地说 I would like you to be more serious about this(我希望你更严肃一点)。接着观众提问,请出盖勒夫妇,他们说剧组非常 down-to-earth(接地气)。最后一位观众分享最爱的一集:大家挤在公寓里,为一把椅子 it all escalates(越闹越大),看得她几乎落泪。想学英语里吐槽拍片、夸人朴实、形容场面升级的说法,就看这段。

看懂「猴子总害得剧组重拍」

发音重点

  • about to do something — about 的 t 贴到 to 上,to 弱化成轻 /tə/,do something 顺口连吐。
  • threw up some good answers — threw 的 w 接上 up,连成 threw-wup;some good answers 一口气平推。
  • down-to-earth — down 的 n 搭上 to,to 轻声带过;earth 的咬字要稳要短。
  • a clean freak — clean 与 freak 之间几乎不停,a 弱读。
-We loved it because they loved us.

我们喜欢这段,因为他们喜欢我们。 用 because 把两边的喜欢扣在一起,孩子气的对称说出被喜欢才更愿意去喜欢。

When I'm missing the kids, when I'm missing the family, I put on "Friends" because it makes me smile.

想孩子的时候,想家人的时候,我就放《老友记》,因为它让我笑。 两个 when 从句把孤独铺满,主句只落在一件小事上,朴素排比让安慰感自然涌出。

-Well, it's not like I went to Spain.

又不是说我去了西班牙。 用 it's not like 加一个夸张到荒唐的类比来反驳,把小事说成小事,省力又好笑。

I just put it on and it makes me smile to almost the point of crying.

我就放上它,它能让我笑到几乎要哭。 to almost the point of crying 把笑和哭两个相反情绪接在一起,精准写出被治愈到眼眶发热。

-You hide my clothes, I'm wearing everything you own.

你藏我衣服,那我就把你所有衣服都穿上。 用对称的条件句加倍报复,你藏一件我穿全部,荒诞的升级让它成经典喜剧台词。

关于这一章的问题

hit its mark 是什么意思?

字面是「打中靶心」,引申为「正中目标、踩到点」。文中说猴子训练过,得在刚好的时机踩到自己的位置。

「接地气」英语怎么说?

down-to-earth,形容一个人朴实、不摆架子。也可以说 real people,文里两个说法连着出现。

it all escalates 怎么用?

意思是「事情一步步升级、越闹越大」,常用来形容一件小事慢慢闹到不可收拾。文中形容为座位吵架的场面。

clean freak 是骂人吗?

不算恶意,指「有洁癖、特别爱干净的人」。自嘲时也常用,比如 I'm a clean freak,就是说我特别爱干净。

about to do something 怎么理解?

表示「正要做什么」,强调事情马上发生。文中 about to do something really funny 就是「正要演一个特别好笑的东西」。
