没钱了
I'm out of money. Lend me five bucks for a burger.My Fellow Americans · 1996 — 第 7 / 13 章 · 2'11" · B1
两个人没现金,拦下一辆去克利夫兰的车,对方开口就要一块名表。有人气得甩出 This really steams my clams(把我气得够呛)。聊到一半又被回敬 bit you in the butt(反过来咬你一口),说他们连明摆的事实都看不见。气炸了又想说得像样,就记这两句。
两个人身上没现金,拦下一辆开往克利夫兰的车。有人自报家门,说自己叫马特·道格拉斯,并介绍旁边这位是克莱默总统,借口是 fact-finding mission(实地调查任务),要看看州际运输到底行不行。对方不收空话,开口就要一块手表。表交出去后,有人憋出 This really steams my clams(把我气得够呛),心疼那块全世界没几块的表。车上又扯到减肥,好话越说越歪,对方甩回来:真相会 bit you in the butt(反过来咬你一口),华盛顿来的人也看不出来。求人时找个体面借口、气到极点还想说得俏皮、把难堪的事实直接砸回去,这三句都用得上。

没钱了
I'm out of money. Lend me five bucks for a burger.借给我
I'm out of money. Lend me five bucks for a burger.out of money 里 out of 在口语中缩成 outta,of 的 v 几乎消失,听起来像 ow-duh-money。
I'm out of money. Lend me five bucks for a burger.什么样的
What kind of burger? Uh, one with bacon.陷入困境、有麻烦
and you're wondering why the Democrats are in trouble.有人来了
Oh, we got company.希望这招管用
Oh, God, I hope this works.别的办法
We don't have any other choice.您好(正式初次见面)
How do you do?How do you do 里的两个 do 都弱读,do you 连成一个音,重音落在 how 上,整句轻轻带过。
How do you do?有点让人不知所措
I'm sure it's a bit overwhelming for you to meet us like this, but we're on a fact-finding mission实地调查任务
I'm sure it's a bit overwhelming for you to meet us like this, but we're on a fact-finding mission不定式复合结构:用 for 加人再接不定式,说明这个动作是对谁而言的。这里把真正的主语放到后面,用 it 先占位,等于说像这样见到我们对你们来说有点吃不消,语气客气又带点居高临下。
I'm sure it's a bit overwhelming for you to meet us like this, but we're on a fact-finding mission获得亲身体验
Yeah, well, we have to ride with you so we can gain a personal perspective一定是在开玩笑
Well, you must be joking. That's a constellation.把我气得够呛
前总统看到对方要拿走戈尔巴乔夫送的手表,气得冒出一句古怪的抱怨。
This really steams my clams.全世界
There are only two watches like that in the entire world.杀人乡巴佬(带侮辱的称呼)——把 hick 这个嘲笑乡下人的词和杀人拼在一起,是双重侮辱。只能当作角色在损人,自己绝对不要用来称呼别人。
Reagan has one, and now Shamu the killer hick has the other.把她惹毛
搭车途中同伴嘴上没把门,另一个压低声音拦他,提醒别把开车的人惹毛了,不然大家都得走路。
Will you shut up? We don't want to piss her off.shut up 说得快时 shut 末尾的 t 弹成轻轻的 d,连上 up,听起来像 shu-dup。
Will you shut up? We don't want to piss her off.你怎么回事
What's wrong with you? I'm obese. Open your damn eyes.睁大你的眼睛看清楚
What's wrong with you? I'm obese. Open your damn eyes.该死的(加重语气的粗话)——程度较轻的粗话,用来加重语气或发脾气。日常抱怨可以用,但正式场合、对长辈和陌生人还是换成更中性的词。
What's wrong with you? I'm obese. Open your damn eyes.少见的某一类
You must be one of those rare gals who look good carrying an extra one, two... Hundred pounds.定语从句:who 从句紧跟 gals,用来限定是哪一类人。这里说的是那种即便多带一百磅也好看的女人,从句把 rare 具体化,表面夸人,实际把对方往体重上带,暗含挖苦。
You must be one of those rare gals who look good carrying an extra one, two... Hundred pounds.你的问题所在
You know, that's the trouble with you boys in Washington.让你吃苦头、反过来咬你一口
那位女司机嫌华盛顿来的政客看不清事实,说真相就算扑上来也咬不醒他们。
You wouldn't know the plain truth if it jumped up and bit you in the butt.虚拟条件句:主句用 wouldn't know,条件句用过去式 jumped,一起构成对现在的虚拟,说明事实根本到不了这一步。意思是哪怕真相扑上来咬你,你也认不出来,用夸张假设表达极端的不满。
You wouldn't know the plain truth if it jumped up and bit you in the butt.干得漂亮(也可反讽)
Nice job not pissing her off.You wouldn't know the plain truth if it jumped up and bit you in the butt.事实都跳起来咬你们屁股了,你们还是看不出来。 把事实写成会扑上来咬人的活物,夸张到近乎荒诞,却把「不肯面对现实」骂得入骨。
What's wrong with you? I'm obese. Open your damn eyes.你怎么回事?我是胖。睁大你的眼睛。 把客套的回避一句戳破:不是委婉,是睁眼说瞎话。三个短句连着来,直率到近乎粗鲁,反而痛快。
We don't have any other choice.我们没别的办法了。 没有抱怨也没有铺垫,一句认命,把走投无路时的决定说得又平又重,任何场合都站得住。
You know, that's the trouble with you boys in Washington.你知道,你们华盛顿那帮人的毛病就出在这儿。 一句开场就把矛头对准整个权力圈,不用脏字也够呛,像民间对庙堂的总结陈词。
This really steams my clams 就是把我气得够呛。字面像蛤蜊被蒸开,其实是气得不行。表被人拿走、计划泡汤,都能甩这句,比单说生气有画面。
想说让你吃苦头、反过来咬你一口,用 bit you in the butt。整句是事实跳起来你都看不出,也就是 You wouldn't know the plain truth if it jumped up and bit you in the butt。
把她惹毛可以说 piss her off。车上有人赶忙补上 We don't want to piss her off,就是怕对方翻脸,路走到一半被扔下。这句很冲,正式场合换成 make her angry。
fact-finding mission 是实地调查任务,指出门核对情况,不是空口说。搭车时有人拿它当理由,说要亲自看州际运输能力。出差、采访、去现场摸底,都可以用这句说明来意。
不是。killer hick 是骂人,意思是乡巴佬,指土里土气、没见识的乡下人。有人丢了戈尔巴乔夫送的表,说另一块在里根那儿,这块落到一个 killer hick 手里。学这句认意思就行,别当面叫人。
不一定。Nice job 可以是干得漂亮,也可以反着说。车里刚吵完,有人补上 Nice job not pissing her off,字面像夸没惹毛对方,其实是在损人。听语气,别只看这俩词。
