地下牌局押三万:make a run at it

有人拎着三万现金走进 KGB 的地下牌局,要三摞 high society(百元大钞),看样子是想 make a run at it(拼一把)。旁边人泼冷水:别跟这帮人硬碰,他们会把你吃干抹净。想听懂赌桌上的狠话和劝退,这几句最地道。

发生了什么

有人带着三万现金走进 KGB 的地下牌局,要三摞 high society(百元大钞),看样子是想 make a run at it(拼一把、冲一把)。旁人提醒,KGB 看着不起眼,关系却通到俄罗斯黑帮最高层,最好别 fuck with(招惹)他;也别跟这帮人 butt onions with(跟人硬碰、较劲),否则会被 chew up——把(人)吃干抹净,连全部赌本都被卷走。对方还劝他离开这里,去皇后区的好赢的软局。想聊赌局、劝朋友别冒险,或者形容靠牌吃饭的人是 rounder(职业牌手),这些说法都能直接搬用。

关于这一章的问题

high society 在牌桌上是什么意思?

不是「上流社会」,在牌桌行话里指百元大钞。台词里有人要「three stacks of high society」,就是三摞百元大钞。

「跟人硬碰、较劲」英语怎么说?

可以说 butt onions with。台词里劝人「you don't wanna butt onions with these guys」,意思就是别跟这帮人硬碰,不然会被吃干抹净。

想问对方是不是要攒本钱、去维加斯搏一把,英语怎么问?

可以说 make a run at it。台词里问「You're making a run at it, aren't you?」,是在确认对方是不是想攒本钱、去维加斯搏一把。

rounder 指的是什么人?

指职业牌手、靠牌吃饭的人。台词里有一句「He's been a rounder, earning his living at cards」,意思就是他从19岁起就靠打牌吃饭。

怎样形容赌桌上把人吃干抹净、连本钱都卷走?

chew up 是「把人吃干抹净」,take your whole bankroll 是「把全部赌本卷走」。台词里「they'll chew you up, take your whole bankroll」连在一起,说的就是人被打垮、钱也全没了。
