登台招打手,抢宝石定胜负:let's not kid ourselves

反派大会的舞台上,斯嘉丽登台演讲招打手,先问一句 Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?(当坏人不觉得超爽吗?),再抛出考题:从她手里抢走红宝石就能入职。她嘴上说着 let's not kid ourselves(别自欺欺人了),眼睛却盯着台下的强者。想学演讲里的口号、招聘黑话和一句老练的口头禅,这段最值得听。

发生了什么

《小黄人大眼萌》这段在反派大会现场:弗勒克斯教授先登场,展示时光机却不肯再招仆人;接着斯嘉丽作为主题演讲嘉宾上台,一开口就是 Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?(当坏人不觉得超爽吗?)。她用一句 let's not kid ourselves(别自欺欺人了)先压住全场,再宣布要找新打手,考题就是当众从她手里抢走红宝石。小黄人误打误撞抢到宝石,win the day(占了上风),被斯嘉丽收为新手下。她一句 knights in shining denim(戏称穿牛仔布的骑士)既调侃又认可。最后一行人启程:Buckle up, boys! Next stop, England。(系好安全带,下一站英格兰)。想学演讲、招聘和舞台调侃的英文,这段素材很全。

本章全部批注

111 句台词里标了 22 处

短语 · B1not looking for any more something

不再招……了

I'm sorry! But I'm not looking for any more servants, for I, Professor Flux, have invented
短语 · B1bring something back

把……带回来

Every time I visit the future, I bring my future self back to help me.
短语 · B2way to go

干得好(也能反着说)

小黄人一番折腾把教授的另一个自己弄没了,同伴在旁边甩出这句,明摆着在说反话。

Oh, way to go, guys. We killed the original!
发音way to go

to 里的 t 在两个元音之间弹成轻 /d/,常连成 /ˈweɪ də ɡoʊ/;舌尖点一下就滑到 go,重音仍在 way。

Oh, way to go, guys. We killed the original!
短语 · B2it feels so good to be ...

当坏人这么爽

Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?
短语 · B1as well as someone

像……一样好

When I started out, people said a woman could never rob a bank as well as a man!
语法 · B2a woman could never rob a bank as well as a man

比较结构:people said a woman could never rob a bank as well as a man! 里 as well as 表示「和……一样好」,中间放被比较的对象。否定词 never 放在 could 和 rob 之间,整句是转述别人当年的偏见,后面再用一句时代不同把它推翻。

When I started out, people said a woman could never rob a bank as well as a man!
发音rob a bank

rob 词尾的 /b/ 滑进 a,a 又贴住 bank,整串常连成 /ˈrɒbə bæŋk/;b 一闭就开 a,别在词间断气。

When I started out, people said a woman could never rob a bank as well as a man!
短语 · B2have something in common

有一个共同点

But we have one thing in common.
发音thing in common

thing 词尾的 /ŋ/ 直接滑进 in,常连成 /ˈθɪŋɪŋ ˈkɒmən/;ng 一收就接 in common,中间不断开。

But we have one thing in common.
短语 · B2make something come true

让它们成真

And we will do anything to make them come true!
短语 · B2dream of doing something

梦想为……工作

Have any of you ever dreamt of working for the greatest super-villain of all time?
短语 · C1what if someone were to do something

如果我告诉你

Well, what if I were to tell you that I am looking for new henchmen?
语法 · C1what if I were to tell you

虚拟语气:what if I were to tell you that I am looking for new henchmen? 用 were to tell 表示一个假设的、还未发生的开口方式,语气比直接说 I tell you 更郑重,也更吊人胃口。were 在这里配所有主语,口语里偶有 was,但正式场合倾向 were。

Well, what if I were to tell you that I am looking for new henchmen?
短语 · B2the potential to do something

做……的潜力

I truly believe somewhere out there is a villain with the potential to serve greatness!
短语 · C1let's not kid ourselves

别骗自己了、面对现实吧

Didn't my speech inspire anyone to rise up and prove themselves worthy?
短语 · C1win the day

最终取胜、占上风

旁白看到最不被看好的小黄人赢了比赛,用这句宣布他们成了当天的赢家。

Behold! The last creatures you'd expect to win the day have emerged victorious! (MINIONS CHUCKLING)
短语 · B2buckle up

系好安全带、准备出发

Buckle up, boys! Next stop, England.

看懂「登台招打手,抢宝石定胜负」

这一章能学到

  • 学会 looking for 招人
  • 带走 feel good to be bad
  • 听懂 shining denim 双关

发音重点

  • way to go — to 里的 t 在两个元音之间弹成轻 /d/,常连成 /ˈweɪ də ɡoʊ/;舌尖点一下就滑到 go,重音仍在 way。
  • rob a bank — rob 词尾的 /b/ 滑进 a,a 又贴住 bank,整串常连成 /ˈrɒbə bæŋk/;b 一闭就开 a,别在词间断气。
  • thing in common — thing 词尾的 /ŋ/ 直接滑进 in,常连成 /ˈθɪŋɪŋ ˈkɒmən/;ng 一收就接 in common,中间不断开。
Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?

当坏人不觉得超爽吗? 一句反问把犯罪说成享受,台下还真的欢呼,先让你笑,再让你跟着点头。

When I started out, people said a woman could never rob a bank as well as a man!

我刚出道的时候,别人说女人抢银行永远抢不过男人! 把行业偏见说成一句旧闻,再当场把质疑踩在脚下,气场来自不解释。

I truly believe somewhere out there is a villain with the potential to serve greatness!

我真心相信,在某个地方,有一个反派具备成就伟业的潜质! 把招人包装成一场对潜力的信仰,既抬高要找的人,也暗示台下谁都可能被选中。

All these villains and yet I still have the bear.

这么多反派在场,结果我手里还是这只熊。 用「还是那只熊」把一场盛大招聘的失败说尽,自嘲比发火更有笑点。

关于这一章的问题

let's not kid ourselves 是什么意思?

意思是「别骗自己了、面对现实吧」。说话人先铺垫一个好听的说法,再用它把话拉回现实。斯嘉丽用它来引入真正的用人标准。

「干得好」英语怎么说?

可以说 way to go,夸人时就是「干得漂亮」;但语气一变也能反着用,变成讽刺的「你可真行啊」。

win the day 怎么用?

意思是「最终取胜、占上风」,多形容经过一番比拼后逆转翻盘。这里指小黄人意外抢到红宝石,成了赢家。

knights in shining denim 是什么意思?

这是把老说法 knights in shining armor(白衣骑士、救星)改成 denim(牛仔布),戏称「穿牛仔布的骑士」,又调侃又夸奖。

Buckle up 是字面意思吗?

原意是「系好安全带」,引申为「准备好,要出发了 / 接下来有大动作」。台词里就是启程前的招呼。
