回忆试镜的糗事:to make a long story short

几位主演一坐下就爆出自己的试镜糗事:有人先跟朋友 run lines(对台词),再去 go out drinking(出去喝酒),结果半夜栽进马桶,鼻子上掉下一大块肉,还顶着丑痂去回召。To make a long story short(长话短说),他实话实说,反倒拿到了角色。想学讲故事、聊糗事的说法,这段特别好笑。

发生了什么

重聚特辑里,几位主演回忆试镜。有人说自己去过 a bunch of times(好多次),最后一轮找朋友 run lines(对台词),朋友建议 go out drinking(出去喝酒);To make a long story short(长话短说),他半夜起太猛、blacked out(断片),脸朝下栽进马桶,鼻子上掉下一大块肉,还带着又大又丑的痂去参加重要的回召。可他说真话、没遮掩,反而 got the job(拿到角色)。另一位主演则说,主创写罗斯这个角色时 with my voice in mind(脑子里想的就是他的声音)。想学讲糗事、讲试镜经历的说法,这段很值得听。

And I told the truth and got the job so...

我实话实说,然后就拿到角色了,所以…… 把诚意和运气拧成一句:told the truth 是选择,got the job 是结果。短短一句既自嘲又给所有人打气,是很好的面试故事收尾。

Courteney brought this incredible joy to the character.

考特妮给这个角色带来了惊人的快乐。 brought ... joy to 是把演员和角色合二为一的好说法。用 incredible 而不是 good,说明这不是完成度,而是一种气质层面的贡献。

That was much more entertaining than my story.

那比我这个故事好看多了。 用比较级把现场一个意外小插曲拿来和自己的糗事对照,自嘲里带着真心赞叹。这种顺着场面走的幽默很自然。

-The important thing is that we dealt with it well.

重要的是我们把它处理好了。 用 The important thing is 把一件小事拔高成态度宣言,既不沉重又显得成熟,适合在慌乱之后收场。

关于这一章的问题

to make a long story short 是什么意思?

意思是「长话短说、简单来说」,用来跳过细节直接讲结果。讲故事嫌太长时,用这句开头特别自然。

blacked out 是什么意思?

意思是「断片、短暂失去意识」。台词里 I kind of blacked out, as you do 就是「我就有点昏过去了,人都会这样」,很口语。

run lines 是什么意思?

意思是「对台词、排练台词」,演员之间练戏时常用。go run lines 就是「去对对台词」。

「心里想着某人的声音来写」英语怎么说?

with my voice in mind。they had written the role with my voice in mind 就是「他们写这个角色时,脑子里想的就是我的声音」。

「我实话实说,然后就拿到角色了」英语怎么说?

I told the truth and got the job。tell the truth 是说实话,got the job 这里指拿到了这个角色。
