一句宣判式的收场白,把追捕的胜负说得干脆又体面。

这场戏:拿把柄谈成一笔交易
第 16 章 · 共 22 章 · 4'02"
上校一句 You men are under arrest(你们被捕了),两人却不慌,回一句 come off it(少来这套),还亮出把柄:你们的案子办砸了,是我们 bailed you out(把你们捞出来)。转眼被捕谈成了生意,一句 got a deal(就这么说定)收尾,还附赠一天和一场高尔夫。想学怎么把劣势谈判翻盘,这段嘴仗值得反复听。
❝ 独白 · 9 句 「把人捞出来」英语说 bail someone out
come off it 少来这套、别装蒜blew this case 把案子办砸了bailed you out 把某人从麻烦里捞出来got a deal 谈妥了、成交
「对某事特别忌讳」英语说 have a thing about
half-assed 半吊子的、敷衍凑合的on their way 正在赶来、在路上back away from 撒手不管、抽身退开
在东京,上校宣布把两个闯祸的家伙逮捕,还要送军事法庭。两人一点不慌,一句 come off it(少来这套)顶了回去,接着摊牌:你们的案子办砸了,是我们 bail you out(把人捞出来)。他们顺势提条件——多待一天、看看议员的儿子、再打场高尔夫,一句 If that's okay with you, then we got a deal(你没意见就这么定了)。come off it 是「少来这套」,用来不信对方的虚张声势;bail someone out 是「替人解围、把人捞出来」;got a deal 是「成交、说定了」。后来有人抱来病婴,他们又占用军医院开刀,把上校气得直说要按军法办。想在谈判里反客为主,这场戏的几句都很有用。

On the price, I'm as firm as a rock. 价格上,我寸步不让。
Now, we are going to stay here for one more day... and check out the congressman's kid... and— [ Groans ] get in some golf for ourselves. If that's okay with you, then we got a deal.

In the meantime, we are going to be... at the pro shop, where we are going to have a shower and a shave. If you want to get in touch with us, that is where we will be. [ Pops Lips ]
现在,我们要在这儿多待一天…… 去看看议员的儿子…… 顺便——(呻吟)自己打场高尔夫。 你要是没意见,咱们就这么说定了。 你要是不乐意,我们随时能打电话给华盛顿…… 你跟他们讲你的说法,我们讲我们的。 就这么简单。这期间,我们会待在…… 球具店,在那儿冲个澡、刮个脸。 你们要联系我们,就去那儿找。(咂嘴声)
下一章 · 17tell it to the marines骗鬼去吧这场戏:抢救之余张罗球队字面是「保释某人」,日常引申为「替人解围、把人从麻烦里捞出来」。剧中两人说 we bailed you out,就是「是我们替你们擦了屁股、把你们捞出来」。
come off it。它用来拆穿对方的虚张声势或装腔作势,带点不耐烦,比如对方放狠话时回一句 Come off it,就是「少来这套」。
意思是「半吊子的、敷衍凑合的」,形容做事马虎、设备或机构不靠谱。剧中说 that half-assed army hospital,就是吐槽那家军医院不怎么样。
意思是「对某事特别忌讳、心里有疙瘩」。剧中上校 has a thing about 平民进医院,就是他对这件事特别敏感、不愿通融。后面接名词或动名词。
它是 hell 的老式委婉说法,用来表示惊讶或恼火,相当于「搞什么鬼」。What the Sam Hill are you doing? 就是「你到底在搞什么鬼」,语气比直接说 hell 含蓄。
