I Love You, Man · 2009 — 第 6 / 19 章 · 3'20" · B1

鼓足勇气约男会：in a jiff

彼得鼓足勇气打给刚认识的西德尼，台词在家练了无数遍，电话里还是语无伦次，挂掉只能骂自己一句。对面回电约见面，他一激动冒出 in a jiff（一会儿），自己都被这个说法吓到——约朋友见面、答应马上到，这种地道小词最显口语味。

发生了什么

彼得终于拨通西德尼的号码，一句排练好的 Fife, you know what to do 说得磕磕巴巴，还差点报错姓，挂了电话懊恼不已。后来在早午餐上，朋友聊起只要吃得到生鱼片就甘愿冒汞中毒风险，又提到自己在 trying to get pregnant（在备孕），话越说越尴尬。真正的高潮是西德尼回电，两人约在酒吧见面，彼得兴奋地冒出一句 in a jiff（一会儿），自己都愣住了。这些说法适合打电话、约朋友、以及饭桌上闲聊的场合。

Fife. You know what to do.

法夫。你知道该干嘛。 留言提示音被西德尼写成一句自信的吩咐，短而有个性。

I'm fine with a little mercury poisoning as long as it means I get to eat raw fish, 'cause I love it so much.

只要还能吃到生鱼片，我甘愿冒点汞中毒的风险，因为我太爱吃了。 用夸张的代价换一口吃的，as long as 把贪吃写成壮烈宣言，非常出圈。

Anyway, I was wondering if you ever wanted to get together and talk about real estate and whatnot. Or whatnot. And. . .

总之，我想问问你想不想哪天一起坐坐，聊聊房产什么的。或者别的什么。然后…… 客套话说到一半就露怯，重复的 whatnot 把紧张感写得又真实又好笑。

I've never said that expression before in my life. I just said, "See you in a jiff."

我这辈子从没说过那句话。我刚才居然说了「待会儿见」。 把自己刚说出口的怪话当场复盘，尴尬和好笑都压在 never ... in my life 里。

关于这一章的问题

in a jiff 是什么意思？

是口语里说一会儿、马上，等同 in a jiffy。剧中有人约好见面后说了句 See you in a jiff，说完自己都觉得怪。

「跟我聚一聚」英语怎么说？

可以说 get together。剧中打电话约人时就说 I was wondering if you ever wanted to get together，意思是问对方要不要一起见个面。

a man-date 到底算什么？

指两个男人不是为了恋爱、只是交朋友而约的见面，通常是吃个午饭或下班喝一杯。剧中有人反复确认 This is a man-date，就是在给自己壮胆。

trying to get pregnant 是什么状态？

是说正在努力怀孕、也就是在备孕。剧中有人提到医生说备孕期间吃生鱼片不好，把饭桌气氛推到很尴尬。

pounding drinks 是什么喝法？

是猛灌、一杯接一杯快速喝。剧中有人解释自己酒量不行，因为那群朋友都 pounding drinks，一杯接一杯地灌。
