债主合并债务:the juice is still runnin'

虫虫碰上格拉玛,提出两周后重新雇他,格拉玛却说自己已经单干,转头把虫虫欠五人的一万五并成欠自己两万五。I consolidated your outstanding debt(我把你的未偿债务合并了)、the juice is still runnin'(利息还在滚)——听懂这两句,就知道这是加码,不是帮忙。

发生了什么

虫虫碰上格拉玛,先提出两周后重新雇他,一句 put someone back on the payroll(重新雇某人)说得很大方。格拉玛却回说自己已经单干,随后摊牌:把虫虫分散欠五个人的一万五,改成欠自己两万五;再甩出 the juice is still runnin'(利息还在滚),用 consolidate outstanding debt(合并未偿债务)把债主换成自己。最后虫虫身上的钱被收走,还有人丢下一句 have yourself a ball(玩得开心点),听着带刺。谈债务、谈条件时这些说法都用得上。

看懂「债主合并债务」

发音重点

  • put you back — put you 快说时黏在一起,back on 顺滑带过,payroll 重读。
  • out on my own — out on 连得紧,own 重读,now 收尾降调。
  • outta here — 快说时 outta 压成一团,here 重读,别把 of 补出来。
  • get off — get off 语调上扬,重音砸在 off,带出反问和不服。
Well, I got some bad news for ya, Worm. I'm out on my own now.

好吧,虫虫,我有个坏消息:我现在单干了。 先给坏消息再亮身份,语气客气却把主动权收回自己手里。

Instead of you owing 15 grand spread out to five guys, you owe 25 to me.

与其说你欠五个人一共一万五,不如说你欠我一个人两万五。 用 instead of 把旧债和新债并排,数字一换,控制权就换了。

Here's how it is. 25 grand, and the juice is still runnin'.

情况是这样:两万五,利息还照样滚。 先宣布规则再报数字,and 把本金和利息一口绑死。

No, no, I was your lackey.

不,不,我当初只是你的跟班。 两个 no 先否掉旧情,lackey 一词把‘合伙人’撕成主仆。

There's not a lot of faith in you out there in the business community.

外面的生意圈里,可没多少人看好你。 把黑帮信用说成 business community 的 faith,冷嘲不用脏字。

关于这一章的问题

consolidate outstanding debt 是什么意思?

意思是「合并未偿债务」,把分散在多处的欠款归到一处。台词里有人提出把欠五个人的钱并成一笔欠款,就是用这个说法。

「利息还在滚」英语怎么说?

说 the juice is still runnin'。这里的 juice 指欠款的利息,意思是利息还没停,会继续往上加。

put someone back on the payroll 是「重新雇某人」吗?

对,意思是重新雇某人、让对方重新领钱。台词里有人用这句话表示过两周可以让对方回来干活。

have yourself a ball 是真心祝人玩得开心吗?

并不是真心祝福。意思是「玩得开心点」,但前面刚有人把对方身上的钱收走,这里听起来是反话。

手头紧、只能一点点凑钱,英语怎么说?

说 scrape something together。它强调手头紧、得一点点凑,台词里有人答应这周想办法凑钱。
