为法官读牌被质问:read his hand blind

一段家常没聊几句,话题就拐到「昨晚没回家,却去给法官读牌」。有人先解释自己 read his hand blind(不看牌也猜中手牌),又说那只是 networking(拉人脉),把套近乎说成体面社交。想练解释动机、为自己辩解的口语,这几句很够用。

发生了什么

两个人从白天过得怎么样聊起,很快变成追问:为什么没回家,反而出现在法官的牌局边?有人解释自己没上桌,只是 read his hand blind(不看牌也猜中手牌),因此 caught his eye(引起某人注意);他把这说成 networking(拉人脉),不承认那是 con(骗术)。对方接着说,靠这种方式进去,在那些人眼里永远是个 hustler(靠赌或骗术谋生的人)。想学「解释、辩解、被追问」的口语,可以从 in line for(有望得到)和 con your way into(靠骗术混进)入手。

看懂「为法官读牌被质问」

发音重点

  • How'd it — How'd it 快说时挤成一团,d 只轻轻带过,别拆开。
  • sick of that — sick of 连成一块,of 的 v 很轻,that 紧跟。
  • next thing you — next 的 t 常被吞掉,thing you 顺滑滑过去。
  • didn't even — didn't even 中间不停,t 收住就滑到 even。
We both know that's not true.

我们都知道那不是真的。 不绕弯,直接把对方的轻描淡写顶回去,短而有力。

I think I might be in line for a clerkship.

我觉得我可能有机会拿到书记员职位。 might 和 in line for 把期待说得有分寸,既兴奋又不把话说死。

You know what I meant. I meant that you should use your head.

你知道我什么意思。我是说你应该动脑子。 重复 I meant 抢回解释权,把对方偷换的概念按回原位。

It's true. I just think if you get in this way, you'll always be a hustler to them.

没错。我只是觉得,如果你这样入行,在他们眼里你永远是个赌徒。 先让一步说 It's true,再用 if 把一次选择推成永久标签,冷静却最伤人。

Shit. I didn't even play.

该死。我根本连牌都没打。 一句粗口加 even,把委屈和防御全压出来,也点出争的是身份不是动作。

关于这一章的问题

in line for 是什么意思?

这里不是「排队」,而是「有望得到」。台词里说 I think I might be in line for a clerkship,就是觉得自己可能有机会当上法官助理。

「不看牌也猜中手牌」英语怎么说?

说 read his hand blind。台词里有人解释自己读了对方的牌,就说 I read his hand blind,重点是没看牌也猜中了。

networking 在这里是夸自己会社交吗?

不是单纯的夸奖。networking 本意是拉人脉、建立职业关系,本身中性;这里有人把牌桌上的接近说成 networking,对方马上反问 Are you trying to con me now?(你现在是在糊弄我吗?),其实是在拆穿这层体面说法。

「靠骗术混进」英语怎么说?

用 con your way into。台词里有人说 I didn't mean that you should try to con your way into a summer job,意思是自己不是让你靠耍手段骗个暑期工作。

didn't even 在句子里强调什么?

强调「连……都没做」。最后一句 I didn't even play. 是在强调自己根本没上桌打牌。
