接出狱老友,被劝重返牌桌:get cleaned out

监狱门口,一个人钻进老友的车,聊着聊着亮出一样东西,说 It's like an ace up my sleeve(暗藏的王牌)。等话题转到 KGB 那场牌局,一句 a real blood game(惨烈赌局)把气氛拉沉。想学怎么把底牌和倒霉事都说得轻描淡写,这两句很够用。

发生了什么

监狱外,一人来接刚出狱的老友。车一开动,老友把里面的日子说得云淡风轻,接着讲起自己在里面同时维持三桌牌局:从白人手里赢现金,再输给狱警换照顾,还得赢香烟去换东西。后来他又拿出一件小东西,说 It's like an ace up my sleeve(暗藏的王牌),像在炫耀自己还有后手。再往后,有人承认自己 get cleaned out(被赢光),说那一局是 a real blood game(惨烈赌局),并强调自己已经 off it(不碰了)。想练口语,可以记住 ace up my sleeve 是「暗藏的王牌」,blood game 是「惨烈赌局」,off it 是「不碰了」。
