这场戏：酒吧里挖角摔跤手
第 14 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'12"
酒吧里哈里请米基喝一杯，吹嘘满城都在传 you made Kristo turn tail（你把克里斯托吓跑了）。可他真正想要的是扼杀者：一句 I'm ready to throw a little business your way（我准备分点生意给你做）之后，价钱从五十镑开到 200 quid（两百镑）。想学怎么在酒桌上谈生意、又面子十足，这段够看。
满城都在传「他掉头就跑」：turn tail
turn tail 掉头就跑、夹着尾巴逃all over town 满城、到处都在throw a little business your way 分点生意给某人做cushy spot 舒坦的处境
「不配跟人比」：isn't fit to（不配做某事）
within ten feet of 离某人十英尺以内isn't fit to 不配做某事turned white 脸都白了、吓得失色drop in 顺路来一趟、串个门
哈里在酒吧请米基喝 gin，一开口就是 what's the good word（有什么好消息）。他不放过吹牛的机会，说满城都在传 he made Kristo turn tail（他把克里斯托吓跑了），靠的是 brains and guts（脑子和胆量）。接着他出价买下扼杀者：先说我准备 throw a little business your way（分点生意给你做），被米基识破 ain't in such a cushy spot（处境没那么舒坦），最后加到 200 quid（两百镑）成交。谈完他还提醒米基 Don't look surprised at anything that happens（不管出什么事都别露出惊讶）。这种酒桌上谈生意的口气，谈判、推销都能用。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“Hey, word's all over town that you made Kristo turn tail.”
嘿，满城都在传，说你把克里斯托给吓跑了。
一句街头传话就把战绩吹满，热闹又带点江湖气。
Word's all over town that ...
转述大家都在传的消息时用；半开玩笑，正式场合别用。
Everyone's saying you scared him off. ／ The whole town is talking about it.
口语
all over town 连读，turn tail 两词重读。
Word's all over town that you turned down the offer. 大家都在传，说你把那份报价拒了。
“Why, that clown isn't fit to breathe the same air as Nikolas!”
哼，那个小丑连跟尼科拉斯呼吸同一口气都不配！
夸张到荒诞的比喻，把轻蔑推到极致，听着就想笑。
Someone isn't fit to breathe the same air as ...
极度看不上某人时用；侮辱性很强，别在正式场合说。
He isn't worthy to stand in the same room. ／ That man is beneath him in every way.
口语
Why 起头轻叹，isn't fit to 连读，句尾重砸。
That rookie isn't fit to breathe the same air as her. 那个新人连跟她同场呼吸都不配。
“No, no, no, no. I'd do it to oblige you, Beer, but Gregorius wouldn't let The Strangler within ten feet of him.”
不行不行不行。比尔，看在你的面子上我乐意帮，可格雷戈里乌斯不会让绞杀者靠近他十英尺以内。
先给足面子再一口回绝，客套和拒绝夹在一起。
I'd do it to oblige you, but ...
想礼貌拒绝又不想得罪人时用；先卖人情再摆难处。
I'd love to help, but it just isn't possible. ／ Happy to oblige, except the old man won't allow it.
中性
to oblige you 连读，within ten feet 四词压紧。
I'd do it to oblige you, but my boss would never agree. 看在你的面子上我乐意帮，可我们老板绝不会同意。
“I saw Nikolas take one step toward him, your boy turned white and took two steps back.”
我看见尼科拉斯朝他迈了一步，你这小子脸都白了，往后退了两步。
用一个「进一步、退两步」的细节把嘴上的勇猛和实际的心虚对着摆，画面本身就是笑话。
I saw [A] take one step toward him, [B] turned white and took two steps back.
转述亲眼所见、拆穿某人吹牛时用；在当事人面前说等于当众打脸，要掂量关系。
He talked big, then flinched the moment it got real. ／ One step forward from you and he was already backing away.
口语
take one step 短促，turned white 稍顿，took two steps back 放慢收尾。
I saw the champion square up, and your friend turned white and took two steps back. 我看见冠军一摆架势，你朋友脸都白了，往后退了两步。
下一章 · 15once and for all一劳永逸这场戏：闯进健身房下战书指掉头就跑、夹着尾巴逃走，比 run away 更有画面。片里说满城都在传有人把克里斯托吓跑了，用的就是它。
可以说 throw a little business your way，语气随意又卖好。片里哈里想请对方出力，就是这么开口的。
不只是地方，也可以指处境。cushy spot 是舒坦、轻松的位置。片里是反问他现在的处境其实没那么舒坦。
都指顺路去一趟、串个门，很口语。片里是招呼对方顺路去健身房一趟。
to oblige someone 指帮某人一个忙、卖个人情，常见于客气的场合。片里说我乐意帮你这个忙，就是把话讲得体面。
