最后一次、我再最后说一遍
Douglas, for the last time, I'm telling you everything I know,My Fellow Americans · 1996 — 第 3 / 13 章 · 1'34" · B2
两个前总统在客厅里斗嘴,一个要来杯 vodka tonic(伏特加汤力),一个嘴硬说自己 never touch alcohol(从不碰酒),转头就被同伴拆穿。正吵着,坦纳上校上门,说哈尼总统要见他们,被问怎么找到的,只甩下一句 we know where you are at all times(我们随时都知道你在哪儿)。想学斗嘴和公事口吻,这段都有。
这是《总统拍档》里两位前总统被请走的一段。两人先在客厅斗嘴:一个说要 vodka tonic(伏特加汤力),另一个嘴硬说自己 never touch alcohol(从不碰酒),当场被拆穿。正说着,坦纳上校找上门,自我介绍是 N.S.A.(国家安全局)的,说哈尼总统要 as quickly as possible(尽快)见他们,车已在去戴维营的路上。两人纳闷怎么被找到的,对方一句 we know where you are at all times(我们随时都知道你在哪儿)把天聊死。临走前还逗孩子 run along(跑开去玩)和 skedaddle(快溜)。想学斗嘴、找人、公事口吻和哄小孩,这段表达很杂也很实用。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
at all timesrun alongskedaddleI'd kill for
本章短语
快溜;赶紧跑开
外公把玩具手枪塞给孙子,连哄带赶地让他快跑开,别留在大人的谈话里,嘴里就蹦出 skedaddle 这个词。
The kids skedaddled as soon as the sprinklers came on.洒水器一开,孩子们撒腿就跑。
随时、始终
走开去玩、一边去
极想要;恨不得拿命去换

最后一次、我再最后说一遍
Douglas, for the last time, I'm telling you everything I know,一点头绪都没有
and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell Olympia is.到底、究竟(加强语气)
and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell Olympia is.宾语从句:what the hell Olympia is 整个从句作 clue 的补充说明,用陈述语序,把疑问内容放进句子中间。what 引导的从句里主语是 Olympia,语序不倒装。
and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell Olympia is.what the hell 说得很快时 what 的 t 弹成轻轻的 d,the 又弱读,听上去像 wuh-da-hell。
and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell Olympia is.喝的东西
Excuse me, Dad, did you guys want something to drink?为得到某物甘愿付出一切
I'd kill for a vodka tonic. I'm sure we can swing that.想办法弄到手
I'd kill for a vodka tonic. I'm sure we can swing that.让感官变迟钝
I never touch alcohol. Dulls the senses.满嘴胡扯、一派胡言(粗话)——粗话,直接骂对方在撒谎或胡说。只能用在极熟的人之间或情绪上头时,对上级、长辈、客户都不能说。
You're so full of shit.大人之间的谈话
We're talking big-people talk.没听见那句话
You didn't hear that, did you?走开去玩、一边去
爷爷把话柄塞给孙子,让他拿着东西走开,别打扰大人谈话。
See, you take this and run along. Grandpa.去躲起来
Give me the gun. Now, you go hide.赶紧走开(老派口语)——带点老派和逗趣的口语,意思是快走开,常用于对孩子说。正式场合或对陌生人显得又怪又没礼貌。
Okay! Skedaddle.我们刚才说到哪儿了
Nine... Okay, where were we?where were we 里两个 were 常弱化为 /wər/,轻轻滑过,重音落在最后的 we。
Nine... Okay, where were we?与某事有任何关系
Well, I don't think you had anything to do with Charlie's death, but I'm pretty sure否定前移:否定前移把本该落在从句的否定提到主句的 think 上。字面是我不觉得,实际是委婉地说你没有参与那件事,比直接否定对方更留余地。
Well, I don't think you had anything to do with Charlie's death, but I'm pretty sure卷入某事
you're involved in this mess somehow.那你呢
I'm involved? Well, what about you?和某人待在一起
Well, now you know. I enjoy spending time with dead men.尽管去做好了
You don't believe me? Go ahead and die.让我立刻精神起来
It will perk me right up. You...尽可能快地
President Haney needs to meet with the both of you as quickly as possible.随时、始终
特工对上门的两位前总统说,不管他们躲到哪里,自己始终掌握他们的行踪。
We know where you are at all times, sir.宾语从句 where:where you are 作 know 的宾语,用陈述语序表示地点。这里等于说我们一直掌握你的位置,从句直接跟在 know 后面,不用再补介词。
We know where you are at all times, sir.at all times 的 t 舌尖轻弹一下接 all,常连成 /əˈtɔːl/,末尾 times 别拖。
We know where you are at all times, sir.那是我们的工作、与你无关
That's our business.Well, now you know. I enjoy spending time with dead men.现在你知道了吧。我就喜欢和死人待在一起。 被人抓住把柄,却顺势把指控接过来当成爱好,用一句自嘲把审问的主动权抢回手里,冷得漂亮。
We know where you are at all times, sir.先生,我们随时都知道你在哪儿。 用最平静的官方口气说出最让人后背发凉的话,礼貌的 sir 反而让监控的味道更重。
and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell Olympia is.而且我根本不知道奥林匹亚到底是什么鬼。 用一点头绪都没有加上到底什么鬼,把彻底的无知和烦躁一次说尽,日常换掉专有名词就能直接用。
You don't believe me? Go ahead and die.你不信我?那你尽管去死。 被人指认时不但不辩解,反而把挑衅顶回去,还顺手把对方的死说成自己的乐子,冷得让人发笑。
意思是「快溜、赶紧跑开」,很口语,常用来催小孩或催人快点走。台词里一句 Skedaddle 就是「赶紧走开」,比 hurry up 更带画面。
at all times。台词里 We know where you are at all times 就是「我们随时都知道你在哪儿」,比 always 更正式、更强硬。
run along。台词里 run along 就是「一边玩去」,家长赶小孩走时常用,语气轻松不生硬。
意思是「极想要、恨不得拿命去换」,夸张地表达渴望。台词里 I'd kill for a vodka tonic 就是「我真想来杯伏特加汤力」,想吃什么喝什么都能用。
involved in。台词里 you're involved in this mess 就是「你卷进了这桩麻烦」,be involved in 后面接事,也能说 get involved in。
