上门聊起欠账:run someone up

佩特拉登门,先和迈克看陈的牌局,话锋一转落到账上:两千块欠款明天满一周,虫虫又把账滚到近七千。run someone up(让某人欠账累积)说账越滚越大,cut him off(停止给他赊账)是干脆断供。朋友借钱、替人担保时用得上。

发生了什么

佩特拉登门,两人先对着电视上的1988年世界扑克大赛聊起陈的定力,随后话转到账上:切斯特菲尔德的第一笔两千块欠款明天满一周,虫虫又把账滚到近七千。on the line 是「赊账欠着」,run someone up 是「让某人欠账累积」,cut him off 是「停止给他赊账」。有人说自己手头只有一千、才刚回来,临走约在俱乐部见。谈朋友借钱、合租垫付、替人担保时,这些说法比只说「欠钱」更具体。

看懂「上门聊起欠账」

发音重点

  • down and out — down and 快说时常黏成一团,and 只留轻轻 n
  • scotch or something — or 在快语流里很轻,scotch 直接滑向 something
  • cut him off — him 的 h 常被吞掉,cut 和 off 夹着轻轻 im
  • making it easy — it 在 easy 前轻轻弹过,两个词黏着走
You're never down and out until your chips are all gone.

只要筹码还没输光,你就没到山穷水尽。 把牌桌规则说成人生翻盘线,短句有节奏,适合失意时自我打气。

It's like a locomotive running through your stomach.

就像一台火车头从你胃里碾过去。 用巨大机械写紧张,画面狠、节奏长,比 I'm nervous 更有身体感。

You feel gut-shot. Fuck it. You didn't come here to talk about this.

你像腹部中枪一样难受。管他呢。你来这儿不是为了聊这个。 先用中枪般的比喻压住情绪,再用一句硬话把话题拉回;短促、带脏话,是场面转折。

关于这一章的问题

run someone up 是什么意思?

指欠账被一点点累积起来。台词里 He's run you up just under seven grand,说的就是账已经堆到接近七千。

「停止给他赊账」英语怎么说?

可以说 cut him off。台词里有人要求 cut him off,就是把对方的赊账额度停掉,不再让他挂账。

down and out 和输光筹码有什么关系?

台词说 You're never down and out until your chips are all gone,意思是筹码没全输光就还没潦倒出局;down and out 可指走投无路。

sucker 是「傻瓜」的意思吗?

sucker 作名词是「容易上当的人」,但台词里是动词 sucker someone in,指诱人上钩:Chan is trying to sucker him in by taking his time,说的是靠拖时间把对手引进套里。
