照这家伙开车的开法
We're never getting to Ohio. Not the way this guy drives.My Fellow Americans · 1996 — 第 9 / 13 章 · 3'54" · B2
两位前总统搭上韦恩的车,闲聊时韦恩把拉什莫尔山的历史讲得离谱,被当场怼一句 Get your facts straight(先把事实搞清楚)。越聊越上火,有人说国家 fallin' apart(快散架了),官员却回一句 There is no such thing(根本没这回事),最后夫妻俩直接请他们下车。想学怼人、纠正别人和吵架,这些句子很解气。
两位前总统搭上韦恩的车,一路闲聊。韦恩讲起拉什莫尔山,把林肯和樱桃树、罗斯福和熊全混在一起,被当面纠正 Get your facts straight(先把事实搞清楚),还被补一句 That kind of ignorance is dangerous(这种无知很危险)。聊着聊着话题转向现实:有人说 The country's fallin' apart(国家快散架了),人们丢了工作、失去房子;官员却冷冷回一句 There is no such thing(根本不存在什么人民的声音),还损大家 The only thing you all seem to agree on is you don't want higher taxes(你们唯一能达成共识的就是不想加税)。最后主人夫妇请他们下车。想学纠正、互怼和谈政治,这些表达都很带感。

照这家伙开车的开法
We're never getting to Ohio. Not the way this guy drives.走得还更快
The Donner party moved faster.正想睡觉
Aw, shut up. I'm trying to sleep.装作不……
This time, pretend not to enjoy it.闭上你的臭嘴
车里有人被吵得睡不着,冲着另一位前总统让他闭上那张嘴。
Aw, shut your cake hole, Douglas.本来会没事
You know, we'd have been fine outside in the tent, but thanks for sharing the bed.多谢你……
You know, we'd have been fine outside in the tent, but thanks for sharing the bed.意义重大、很暖心
It means a lot.投票支持过你
You know, we voted for you.为那件事感到抱歉
Oh, I-I'm sorry about that, sir.至少、往好处说
Well, at least you can admit it.走向某事的第一步
That's the first step towards recovery.还要多久
Any idea how much longer to Cleveland, Wayne?弟兄们、自己那帮同事——口语里指自己团队或部门里的男性伙伴,带亲近感。日常同事之间可以用,正式文件里换成书面的同事、职员等说法更合适。
I may have to call the boys in our department and tell them what time to expect us.送某人下车
You know, I was thinking, after we drop you off,自然奇观
That's one of America's greatest natural wonders, son.把它雕刻出来

Whoops! Diaper patrol, Matt!把树砍倒
Well, there's Abe Lincoln. He chopped down the cherry tree.一定是在开玩笑
You got to be kidding, right, Wayne?把某人和某人搞混
You got Lincoln mixed up with George Washington and you've got the Roosevelt's mixed up with Davy Crockett.have got 加过去分词:have got 加宾语加过去分词,表示把某人或某物弄成了某种状态。这里说对方把林肯和华盛顿搅在了一起,mixed up 是过去分词,说明混乱已经形成。
You got Lincoln mixed up with George Washington and you've got the Roosevelt's mixed up with Davy Crockett.无意冒犯;不是不敬(用来说难听话前先垫一句)
平民车主想反驳前总统,又怕话说重了,先补一句 no disrespect 打个圆场,接着还是把车是我的这句硬话甩了出来。
Uh, no disrespect, sir, but you're in my car.先把事实搞清楚
车主把两位前总统的历史常识说错,对方立刻回敬,让他先把事实搞清楚。
Well, our country. Get your facts straight.expect 接宾语加不定式:expect 后面先接一个人,再接不定式,表示指望某人去做某事。这里用反问质问对方,凭什么要求儿子尊重历史,结构里 to respect 不能换成动词原形。
How do you expect your son to respect the nation's history if you don't?快散架了、分崩离析
No. The country's fallin' apart. People are losin' their homes.fallin' 省掉词尾的 g,收在鼻音 /n/ 上,紧接着滑进 apart 的元音,整块像 fallin-apart,中间的停顿拿掉。
No. The country's fallin' apart. People are losin' their homes.找到工作
They can't find work. You talk about ignorance.人民的声音
The voice of the people?根本没有这回事
There is no such thing.才怪、胡说(委婉的反驳)——fanny 本来是屁股的委婉说法,整句用来轻蔑地否定对方的话,相当于才怪。语气随意带讽刺,正式场合不要用。
The voice of the people, my fanny.靠边停车
Pull over, Wayne.Pull 末尾的 l 顺势带进 over 的元音,两词黏成 pul-lover;重音压在 Pull,over 别说得太满。
Pull over, Wayne.好了、成了
There we go.从……里出去
Please get out of our car.get out of 说得快时 get 的 t 和 out of 缩成 outta,两个词连成一串,听起来像 ge-doutta。
Please get out of our car.预算削减
We lost our jobs because of your budget cuts, President Kramer.经济衰退
And we lost our home because of your economic downturn,渺茫的机会
All we have now is the slim chance of a job at my uncle's paint factory in Cleveland.all 加后置从句:all 后面紧跟一个省略连词的从句 we have now,用来说明全部所指的范围,再让 is 引出唯一剩下的东西。这里等于说我们现在拥有的全部,只是那份渺茫的工作机会。
All we have now is the slim chance of a job at my uncle's paint factory in Cleveland.再一次
So I will ask you once again.The only thing you all seem to agree on is you don't want higher taxes.你们所有人唯一像是达成的共识,就是不想加税。 把「人民的声音」一刀削到只剩一句不想加税,冷静里透着刻薄,是政治讽刺最省力的写法。
That kind of ignorance is dangerous.那种无知很危险。 不骂人也不咆哮,只把无知定义成危险,一句短评就把批评抬到了公共责任的高度。
No. The country's fallin' apart. People are losin' their homes.不。这个国家正在四分五裂。人们正在失去自己的家。 两个短句把宏观的「国家危机」压回到具体的「失去房子」,愤怒有了落点。由大到小的收束很有力量。
There is no such thing.根本没有这种东西。 四个词直接抹掉一个被反复引用的概念,简短到不容争辩,任何争论里都能当封喉一句。
意思是「闭上你的臭嘴」,是很粗鲁但很有画面感的说法,cake hole 就是嘴的俚语。戏里就是让对方闭嘴,朋友间互怼、吵架时很常见,正式场合别用。
意思是「先把事实搞清楚」,用来纠正说错话的人。戏里有人把历史人物张冠李戴,就被回了一句 Get your facts straight,语气直接、带点不耐烦。
意思是「把甲和乙搞混、张冠李戴」。戏里说 you got Lincoln mixed up with George Washington,就是「你把林肯和华盛顿搞混了」,常用来指出记忆或认知出错。
意思是「无意冒犯、恕我直言」,在说难听话之前先垫一句,让对方别太介意。戏里说 no disrespect, sir, but you're in my car,就是「恕我直言,先生,可这是我的车」。
Get your facts straight。戏里用它纠正对方讲错的历史,也可以用在争论中要求对方别乱说,语气比 please check 更硬、更口语。
