不再招……了
I'm sorry! But I'm not looking for any more servants, for I, Professor Flux, have inventedMinions · 2015 — 第 6 / 14 章 · 6'35" · B1
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。
《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。

不再招……了
I'm sorry! But I'm not looking for any more servants, for I, Professor Flux, have invented把……带回来
Every time I visit the future, I bring my future self back to help me.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!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!当坏人这么爽
Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?像……一样好
When I started out, people said a 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!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!有一个共同点
But we have one 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.让它们成真
And we will do anything to make them come true!梦想为……工作
Have any of you ever dreamt of working for the greatest super-villain of all time?如果我告诉你
Well, what if I were to tell you that I am looking for new henchmen?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?做……的潜力
I truly believe somewhere out there is a villain with the potential to serve greatness!别骗自己了、面对现实吧
斯嘉丽在台上先说人人都有梦想,话锋一转,用这句把场面拉回自己真正想要的人。
Although, let's not kid ourselves.唯一适合这份工作的人
Truly, the only men for this job are Kevin and his Minions!没什么大不了
No big deal, it's almost too simple.对我手下留情
Now go easy on me.证明自己够格
Didn't my speech inspire anyone to rise up and prove themselves worthy?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)系好安全带、准备出发
Buckle up, boys! Next stop, England.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。
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。
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」。
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。
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。
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。
