顺便说一下
By the way, I really like your bear.Minions · 2015 — 第 7 / 14 章 · 6'47" · B1
斯嘉丽把赫伯介绍给小黄人,又塞给他们一堆奇怪装备:熔岩灯枪、催眠帽、弹力衣。聊完闲话,她一句 It is time to get down to business(该谈正事了),抛出真正的任务:Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true(把王冠偷来给我,你们的梦想就全实现)。想学怎么开会进入正题、发任务和施压,这段很带劲。
斯嘉丽把小黄人带进自己的秘密基地,先把丈夫赫伯隆重推出——Meet my husband, Herb(见见我丈夫赫伯),又给小黄人发了三样装备:弹力衣、熔岩灯枪和催眠帽。寒暄过后,她提醒大家 It is time to get down to business(该谈正事了),真正的任务是想办法偷走英国女王的王冠,因为 Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true(把王冠偷来给我,你们的梦想就全实现)。她甚至把「三只小猪」改写成威胁版睡前故事:要是小猪任务失败,狼就把它们 blew them off the face of the earth(彻底消灭干净)。最后她笑着叮嘱 I know you won't disappoint me(我知道你们不会让我失望)。想学介绍、发装备、谈正事和施压的英语,这里很完整。

A little bird dropped this off today.(从地里)挖出来
Herb, seriously, I wanna dig up that William Shakespeare so he can see what true writing is.正好、行得通
Ah, that works out because I love... (CHUCKLES)太对了、说得好
Right on! You guys are crazy little and way yellow, And I dig that!太对了、说得好——六十到七十年代的反主流文化俚语,表示强烈赞同;现在说出来带复古味,正式场合别用。
Right on! You guys are crazy little and way yellow, And I dig that!填补空缺、填满内心的空落
赫伯解释家里那些偷来的收藏,说只是拿它们填一填心里缺的那块。
Just a few things I stole to help fill the void.进入正题、开始谈正事
斯嘉丽招呼吵闹的小黄人安静下来,宣布该讲这次要交给他们的任务了。
Okay, listen up! It is time to get down to business.get 的 t 不爆破,舌尖停在 d 前,两词挤成 /ɡedaʊn/。
Okay, listen up! It is time to get down to business.超级粉丝
I'm her biggest fan, love her work!梦想全部成真
Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true.祈使句加 and 表结果:Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true. 前半句是命令 Steal me the crown,and 后面接预期的结果 all your dreams come true。整句等于「你去做这件事,就能得到那个」。命令语气被实现梦想的承诺冲淡,成了一种交易式劝说。
Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true.all 的 l 收住,your 弱成 /jər/,常连成 /ɔːljərdriːmz/。
Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true.到你想不到的程度
But right now, it's leaking radiation like you would not believe!不早了
It's getting late. You've had a big day, you must be exhausted!一定累坏了
It's getting late. You've had a big day, you must be exhausted!must 表推测:You've had a big day, you must be exhausted! 里的 must 不是「必须」,而是根据前面的事实推断对方此刻状态:你今天这么忙,一定累坏了。要推断过去的事,得换成 must have 加过去分词那套结构,别和表义务的 must 混在一起。
It's getting late. You've had a big day, you must be exhausted!让……安静下来
Well, maybe I'll settle them down with a bedtime story?太潮了、好极了——老派嬉皮士用词,夸张地表达喜欢;对不熟的人说会显得在玩梗。
That is a groovy idea! I'll go get some cookies and warm milk.很久很久以前
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs.Once 的 s 滑进 upon,常黏成 /wʌnsəˈpɒn/,讲故事的起手。
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs.想……可没那么容易
Good luck getting that crown tomorrow, little piggies.Steal me the crown and all your dreams come true.把王冠偷来给我,你们的梦想就全实现。 一句交易式承诺,把夺宝任务压缩成「去做就全得到」,直击贪心与渴望。
But that crown would mean she was a princess, and everybody loves a princess!可那顶王冠会让她成为公主,而人人都爱公主! 把权力头衔换算成「被所有人爱」,一句童话话戳破反派最软的心事。
I know you won't disappoint me.我知道你们不会让我失望。 听着像信任,其实是把期待变成锁,让人没有退路。
I'm her biggest fan, love her work!我是她超级粉丝,爱她的作品! 明晃晃的反讽模板,先摆出粉丝姿态,再借「作品」二字把敌意藏进礼貌。
意思是「进入正题、开始谈正事」,常用在寒暄之后把话题拉回工作。It is time to get down to business 就是「该谈正事了」,开会或谈合作时很实用。
fill the void,void 指「空缺、空虚」。Just a few things I stole to help fill the void 就是「就偷了点东西,好填填内心的空洞」,常用来讲用某样东西填补缺失。
blew them off the face of the earth,字面是「从地球表面吹走」,形容彻底消灭、一点不剩。原句借用了《三只小猪》里狼吹倒房子的说法,很形象。
意思是「能胜任、扛得住这个挑战」。be up to 表示「够得上」,后面接 the challenge、the task 等。The pigs weren't up to the challenge 就是「小猪们扛不住这个任务」。
biggest fan,I'm her biggest fan 就是「我是她头号粉丝」。想夸人、表达崇拜时常用,也可以说 a huge fan of 某人或某物。
