党证、会员证
Did you have a Communist Party membership card?Oppenheimer · 2023 — 第 27 / 28 章 · 2'39" · C1
听证席上,基蒂被罗布拿党证旧事穷追猛打。她先一句 Haven't the slightest idea(完全没概念)挡回去,又纠正对方的措辞:Don't you mean "through"?(你是不是想说「通过」?)。最后她替罗伯特辩护——Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such(因为罗伯特从未真正和共产党有关系)。想学证人如何反击,这段很精彩。
听证席上,基蒂面对罗布的连环追问:那张共产党党证到底退了还是撕了?她先一句 Haven't the slightest idea(完全没概念)挡回去,又借措辞反击——Don't you mean "through"?(你是不是想说「通过」?)。她替丈夫辩护:Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such(因为罗伯特从未真正和共产党有关系),他给的钱是为了西班牙难民,只是 from time to time(时不时)给一点。罗布则冷嘲是不是还分 intellectual Communists(智识上的共产主义者)和普通的共产党,基蒂干脆不接。想学庭审式交锋、滴水不漏的答话和锐利反问,这段很值得反复看。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
Haven't the slightest ideaas suchhaving anything to do withfrom time to time
本章短语
一点概念都没有;完全不知道
律师反复追问党证的下落,基蒂用这句话表示自己毫无印象。
Haven't the slightest idea where it went.完全不知道它去哪儿了。
本身、严格意义上、就其本身而言
和……有任何关系
时不时地;偶尔,隔一阵就有一次
50 句台词里标了 28 处
党证、会员证
Did you have a Communist Party membership card?加入这一行为
I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party required sending some money and receiving a card, no?动名词作主语与宾语:of joining 和 sending 都是动名词,一个作名词的后置修饰,一个直接作动词的宾语;整句把入党还原成寄钱领证两件具体动作,逼对方承认程序事实。
I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party required sending some money and receiving a card, no?很久很久以前
It's just it was all so very long ago,very 要重读,把久远感顶出来;long 再拖长一点,ago 收尾放轻。
It's just it was all so very long ago,久到足以(做某事)
Long enough to have forgotten.把它撕掉
Did you return the card or rip it up?whose 引导的定语从句:whose 在从句里充当定语,表示这张卡的存续状态;基蒂用它把对方的追问原样弹回去,带着毫不掩饰的讥讽。
The card whose existence I've forgotten?一点概念都没有;完全不知道
律师反复追问党证的下落,基蒂用这句话表示自己毫无印象。
Haven't the slightest idea.在两者之间作出区分
Can a distinction be made between Soviet Communism and Communism?在……的那些日子里
Well, in the days when I was a member, I thought they were definitely two things.days 末尾的 z 直接粘上 when,the 常弱化为很轻的 /ðə/,in the days when 整串顺势滑成 /ɪn ðə deɪz wen/。
Well, in the days when I was a member, I thought they were definitely two things.不再认为
I now no longer believe this.连成一体
Believe the whole thing's linked together and spread all over the world,我记错了、是我的错
My mistake.知道这个事实
Are you familiar with the fact your husband was making contributions时不时地;偶尔,隔一阵就有一次
基蒂在听证席上承认,她知道罗伯特时不时会拿出一些钱来捐助。
I knew that Robert gave money from time to time.time 里的 t 在美音中弹成闪音,听上去接近 d,两个 time 之间的 to 又弱读得很轻。
I knew that Robert gave money from time to time.进入共产党的渠道
Did you know this money was going into Communist Party channels?过去完成时:过去完成时表示到过去某一时点为止尚未发生的变化,配上否定,等于追问有没有停止过;这种时态常用来钉住时间线。
your husband had not stopped having anything to do with the Communist Party?你想怎么(回答)就怎么
You can answer that any way you wish.你为什么不回答
Then why don't you answer it that way?和……毫无关系
Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such.本身、严格意义上、就其本身而言
基蒂纠正律师笼统的说法,坚称罗伯特与共产党本身并无关系。
Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such.在智识上对……产生兴趣
I know he took an intellectual interest in Communist ideas...普普通通的、再平常不过的
Intellectual Communists and your plain old regular Commie?共产党人(贬义俗称)——带强烈贬义的俗称,多出现在敌意、嘲讽或旧时代的语境里;对当事人或正式场合都属于冒犯,不要使用。
Intellectual Communists and your plain old regular Commie?那个我答不上来
Well, I couldn't answer that one.Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such.因为罗伯特和共产党本身从来没有过任何关系。 用 as such 把对方的笼统措辞拆开,一句辩解同时是对提问方式的驳斥。
You can answer that any way you wish.你想怎么回答就怎么回答。 表面在给证人自由,实际设了一个无从回避的局,礼貌背后全是算计。
Well, in the days when I was a member, I thought they were definitely two things.这个,我还是党员的那些年,我以为它们肯定是两回事。 用一句坦白承认过去的自己,与现在切割,比辩解更有分量。
Intellectual Communists and your plain old regular Commie?知识分子共产党,还是你那种普普通通的老牌共产党? 罗布用带刺的分类问题逼人表态,律师的尖刻全在这一句里。
意思是「一点概念都没有、完全不知道」。戏里基蒂用这句挡回党证的追问,语气既不承认也不慌张,是很有底气的回绝。
意思是「本身、严格意义上」。戏里说 he never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such,就是「他从未真正和共产党有关系」,强调严格来说不算。
意思是「和……有任何关系」。戏里有人问丈夫是否停止 having anything to do with the Communist Party,就是想套出任何接触都算。
意思是「时不时地、偶尔」。戏里说 Robert gave money from time to time,就是「罗伯特偶尔会给点钱」,用来弱化事情的严重性。
Haven't the slightest idea。戏里用它回绝追问,也可以说 I have no idea,但前者更强调「一点都想不起来」。
