警察——口语里指警察,别在正式报告里用
You cops? You look like cops.Rounders · 1998 — 第 17 / 26 章 · 2'18" · B2
有人带着刚出来的朋友去见债主,想替他把还款往后拖。见面先交代 Just let me do the talking(由我来说),谈崩时又冒出一句 good for it(有能力还钱),债主顺势把担保责任推回给他。想学担保、求宽限、把责任说清楚,这两句都够硬。
有人带着刚出来的朋友去找债主,见面先交代 Just let me do the talking(由我来说),不让朋友乱开口。对方追问钱在哪里,得到的回答是今天没钱,场面越谈越僵。有人先把还款往后拖,说三天不可能;接着有人提议 put him on a plan(给他定分期还款),对方当场驳回。最关键是 good for it(有能力还钱):一句话把担保责任摊到开口的人身上。求宽限、替人担保、谈还款计划时,这些表达都能直接搬去用。

本章短语
有能力还钱able to pay what is owed
有人替欠债人打包票,说对方 good for it(有能力还钱);债主马上抓住这句话反问,语气是逼担保人自己承担风险。
Don't vouch for him unless you're sure he's good for it.除非你确定他真还得起,不然别替他担保。
由我来说
把账清了
给他定分期还款

Hey, Worm. It's good you came. That's real smart thinking.带某人一起来
So, did you bring him along to help carry all my money?情态存在句:there's gotta be = there must be;gotta 是口语里的 must/have got to,不是‘得到’。

Come on. Get outta here.收剩下的那部分 这里指剩下的欠款

You gotta catch 'em in the act.catch 和 'em 别断开,t 轻轻搭过去,一口气带过
You gotta catch 'em in the act.贱人;母狗——极具侮辱性,熟人之间也少用,正式场合绝对别用
Get in your hole, you bitch!干了坏事还逃掉
You can't let 'em get away with it or else they think they run the place.在这里说了算 这里指它们以为自己是老大

- So, where were we? - Five grand.把这事看成
No one's saying you're not the man. Just think of this as a business decision.否定套嵌:外层 no one's saying 否定,内层 you're not 也否定;并非双重肯定,而是先保住对方面子。
No one's saying you're not the man. Just think of this as a business decision.of 只留轻 v,this as 连成一串,重音落在 business

You can't let 'em get away with it or else they think they run the place.你不能让他们干了坏事还没事,不然他们就会以为这里他们说了算。 把一次放过和永久失势连在一起,听着像警告。
No one's saying you're not the man. Just think of this as a business decision.没人说你不是当家的。就把这当成一笔生意上的决定。 先给面子再谈条件,软话里藏着逼人让步的刀。
If you think he's good for it, it's on you too.如果你觉得他还得起,那责任也算你一份。 一句担保把风险原样推回去,短得没有退路。
在还款语境里是「有能力还钱」。台词里有人替朋友担保,对方便回:If you think he's good for it, it's on you too. 意思是你信他能还,责任也算你一份。
可以说 square this thing。台词里有人说 We wanna square this thing.,就是想把欠款这件事了结、把账清了。
用 put him on a plan。台词里有人提议 Let's put him on a plan.,就是让对方按分期计划还钱。
fifteen large 指一万五千美元。large 在这里是「千美元」的口语说法,台词里用 Fifteen large, five days 给出金额和期限。
这里是「由我来说、让我来交涉」。Just let me do the talking 就是让对方别插嘴,把谈判交给自己。
