求制片放他换剧：tail between my legs

有位主演讲起当年为了演《老友记》，tail between my legs（灰溜溜地）、hat in hand（低声下气）去求原剧的制片放人：Please release me from this show（求你放我离开这部剧）。对方却回了句 Enough said（不用多说了），还说 This show is gonna make you a star（这部才会让你当上明星）。想学求人、婉拒和预言的漂亮说法，这段故事性十足。

发生了什么

重聚特辑里，一位主演讲起当年的抉择：他看中了《老友记》，却已经签在另一部剧里，只能 tail between my legs、hat in hand（灰溜溜、低声下气）地去找原剧制片，说 Please release me from this show（求你放我离开这部剧），还补上一句 Nothing against your show（不是说你这部不好）。制片听完只说 Enough said（不用多说了），并预言 This show is gonna make you a star（这部才会让你当上明星）。后来大家玩角色问答，还揭晓了神秘声音的主人，惊喜嘉宾现身。想学求人、婉拒和预言的说法，这段又真实又有戏。

语法 · B2release me from

祈使句：please 加动词原形构成礼貌祈使句，release me from 表示把我从某件事里放出来。这里是一个演员在恳求制片人放人。

and I said, "Please release me from this show.
短语 · B1nothing against someone

对……没有意见；不是针对……

演员求制片人放自己去演《老友记》，赶紧补一句不是说你这部不好，用 nothing against 缓和语气、给对方留足面子。

短语 · A2have so much fun

玩得太开心了

I just love these people and I am having so much fun."
发音having so much fun

having 的尾音 /ŋ/ 直接连上 so，常连成 /ˈhævɪŋsoʊ/；much fun 里 /tʃ/ 与 /f/ 挨紧，一口气推到底。

I just love these people and I am having so much fun."
短语 · A2tell someone something

跟你说件事

I'm gonna tell you something.
短语 · B1make someone a star

让你成为明星

That show's not gonna make you a star."
语法 · B1make you a star

make 加宾语加名词：make 加宾语加名词的结构，表示把某人变成明星。这里用同一个句型对比两部剧的命运，节奏很对仗，也把那种预言式的口气说出来。

That show's not gonna make you a star."
短语 · B2enough said

不用多说了；话说到这就够了

听完制片人那句预言式的话，主持人接一句不用多说了。

Enough said. -Well, he's here tonight.

不用多说了——口语表示话已说到位、无需再解释；正式场合也能用。

Enough said. -Well, he's here tonight.

短语 · B2an entertainment venue

娱乐场所

-Wouldn't you pay good money to see these identical hands showcased in some type of a, uh, entertainment venue?
语法 · B2Wouldn't you pay good money

反问句：Wouldn't you 开头的反问句，用否定形式邀请对方认同。这里像推销一样把玩笑推到高潮，语气一半认真一半胡闹。

-Wouldn't you pay good money to see these identical hands showcased in some type of a, uh, entertainment venue?
发音pay good money

pay 与 good 之间几乎不停，good 的 d 与 money 相接。

-Wouldn't you pay good money to see these identical hands showcased in some type of a, uh, entertainment venue?

短语 · B2would love for someone to do something

很想让某人做某事

-"Hey, guys, I'm finally retiring from ophthalmology and would love for all of you
语法 · B2would love for all of you

would love for 结构：would love for 加人加动词不定式，表示非常希望某人做某事，比直接说想要更柔和，也更客气。这里是一封退休派对的邀请。

-"Hey, guys, I'm finally retiring from ophthalmology and would love for all of you
发音would love for all of you

for 在快速口语里常弱化为 /fɚ/，轻轻收掉，重音交给前面的 love；all of you 常连成 /ɔːləvjuː/，中间不顿。

-"Hey, guys, I'm finally retiring from ophthalmology and would love for all of you
短语 · A2let someone know

短语 · A2good to see someone

看懂「求制片放他换剧」

发音重点

  • tail between my legs — between 与 my 连读，legs 结尾轻收，整串顺滑。
  • having so much fun — having 的尾音 /ŋ/ 直接连上 so，常连成 /ˈhævɪŋsoʊ/；much fun 里 /tʃ/ 与 /f/ 挨紧，一口气推到底。
  • pay good money — pay 与 good 之间几乎不停，good 的 d 与 money 相接。
  • would love for all of you — for 在快速口语里常弱化为 /fɚ/，轻轻收掉，重音交给前面的 love；all of you 常连成 /ɔːləvjuː/，中间不顿。
Will the mystery voice please make himself known?

请那位神秘声音现身好吗？ 用半文言的正式说法请蒙面嘉宾现身，庄重和综艺感一撞就出效果。

-If you leave now, I will chop off my hand and give it to you.

你要是现在走，我就把手砍下来送给你。 夸张到荒诞的条件句，用狠劲发誓把胜负欲写成喜剧，笑点立刻成立。

I love this show that I'm doing right now.

我爱我现在在拍的这部戏。 一句简单的 I love 直接表态，that 从句补上具体对象，真诚不煽情。

"This show is gonna make you a star."

这部才会让你当上明星。 用笃定的判断句给一部剧下注，句子短、态度硬，像一句预言。

关于这一章的问题

tail between my legs 是什么意思？

意思是「灰溜溜地、夹着尾巴」，形容做错事或求人时很没面子。hat in hand 意思相近，都是放低姿态去求人。

Enough said 是什么意思？

意思是「不用多说了、话说到这就够了」，表示对方一开口你就懂了，不用再解释。语气可轻松也可意味深长。

nothing against 怎么用？

意思是「对……没有意见、不是针对……」。Nothing against your show 就是「不是说你这部不好」，用来先撇清，再讲真正的原因。

pay good money 是什么意思？

意思是「花大价钱、花不少钱」。Wouldn't you pay good money to see... 就是「难道你不愿意花大价钱去看……」，常用在调侃或推销里。

「这部才会让你当上明星」英语怎么说？

This show is gonna make you a star。gonna 是 going to 的口语说法，make you a star 就是「让你成为明星」。
