介意我……吗
Mind if I sit?Rounders · 1998 — 第 9 / 26 章 · 2'38" · B2
酒吧里,有人刚坐下,对方先提那晚的 nifty trick(巧妙的把戏),又拿「消失戏法」点他开溜。聊到牌风,一句 tight, but aggressive(打得紧却有攻击性)把打法说透:少出手,一出手就压人。想夸人手段巧、又不想把话说满,这两句就能直接用。
酒吧里,一个人走过来问能不能坐下,对方先提起那晚的 nifty trick(巧妙的把戏),又点出他当天从小组会开溜。他想解释,对方没让他解释,只让他更用功、跟其他人把关系理顺,还劝他喝一杯。话题转到怎么看出别人手里的牌:不是魔法,而是看牌,更看人的反应。接着他反过来点评对方的牌风,说该 tight, but aggressive(打得紧却有攻击性),值得跟就得加注。最后一句 play it blind(不看牌也上)说得轻描淡写,底气却很足。

Mind if I sit?巧妙的把戏
两人刚坐定,教授就提那晚迈克露的一手,语气像夸奖,也像在敲门;一句 nifty 把好奇包在客套里。
That was a nifty trick the other night.巧妙的;挺妙——熟人闲聊里夸小技巧,正式写作少用
That was a nifty trick the other night.为争某物抽牌定输赢 字面是抽牌定输赢,这里是抢着请他办事
Marinacci and the D.A. were ready to cut cards for your services at that point.完全不同
Of course, it was an altogether different trick, that disappearing act...消失戏法;开溜
教授把迈克白天从小组会缺席说成另一套“消失表演”,表面聊魔术,实际点他开溜;语气带笑,却不放过。
Of course, it was an altogether different trick, that disappearing act...欠你一个解释
- Yeah. Well, I figure I owe you an explanation. - Ah, not to me.there's a 常压得很轻,a 只剩一个弱元音,别逐词念满。
I'm sure there's a good reason you left.缓和关系
教授没追问失踪,而是给迈克一条实际建议:先把和组员的关系捋顺,再回来面对牌局。
And smooth things out with the others.抖出秘密
I know a magician doesn't divulge his secrets, but...多种因素凑在一起
It's a combination of things.由来已久的习惯
That's... That's just an old habit with me, like breathing.对牌面作出反应
I watch the cards also, but I watch the players reacting to the cards.表语从句:how 从句作 is 的表语,说明“我就是这样知道的”;后面小句是 knew 的宾语。
That's how I knew the D.A. made his two pair, and Judge Kaplan missed the flush.最后一张公共牌
I was watching their eyes when they checked their river cards.把一切都说明白
- Their faces tell you everything. - You watch the man.顶级好牌
迈克接过话,像教练一样给教授拆牌局:先限定只打最好的起手牌,再谈怎么下注。
All right, here's the thing. You only play premium hands.一对J或更大
You only start with jacks or better split, nines or better wired, three high cards to a flush.起手成对——扑克圈行话,圈外人可能听不懂
You only start with jacks or better split, nines or better wired, three high cards to a flush.好到值得跟注
If it's good enough to call, you gotta be in there raising, all right?条件状语从句:if 从句先给前提:“如果好到值得跟注”;主句才给要求:那就必须加注。
If it's good enough to call, you gotta be in there raising, all right?必须;得——口语缩略,朋友间常用,正式场合写 have to
If it's good enough to call, you gotta be in there raising, all right?打得紧却有攻击性
迈克重复两遍 aggressive,把教授的打法说成一种性格判断,语气像教练拍桌,不留模糊空间。
I mean, tight, but aggressive. And I do mean aggressive. That's your style, Professor.把它看成一场战争
I mean, you gotta... you gotta think of it as a war.像我这样的人
I don't blame you. Put a guy like me in a game like that, the cards don't even matter.祈使条件:句首祈使句相当于“如果把……放进去”,不是命令对方,而是给后句搭条件。
I don't blame you. Put a guy like me in a game like that, the cards don't even matter.don't even 快说时 t 容易没掉,even 紧跟着上来。
I don't blame you. Put a guy like me in a game like that, the cards don't even matter.盲打;不看牌也上
迈克最后一句把自负收得很轻:牌不重要,他闭着眼也能打;语气平静,像在陈述常识。
I'll play it blind.That was a nifty trick the other night.那晚那手把戏挺妙的。 先夸手法再转入试探,nifty 轻轻一赞,把客套和好奇绑在一起。
- Their faces tell you everything. - You watch the man.他们的表情会把一切都告诉你。你看的是人。 两句短接,把“看牌”翻成“看人”,先给结论再点方法。
I mean, tight, but aggressive. And I do mean aggressive. That's your style, Professor.我是说,打得紧,但要有攻击性。我说的是真有攻击性。教授,这就是你的风格。 用重复和短促停顿把策略敲进耳朵,像教练当面下判断。
You are officially never invited to our game again.正式通知你:以后我们的牌局再也不请你。 用官方口吻下逐客令,夸张的正式感把玩笑托起来。
I don't blame you. Put a guy like me in a game like that, the cards don't even matter.我不怪你。把我这种人放进那种牌局,牌本身都不重要了。 先松一句“不怪你”,再把自负推满:人在桌上,牌面退场,平静却压人。
I'll play it blind.我闭着眼也能打。 四个词把自负收成一句冷话,正好接住上一句的“牌不重要”。
这里是夸对方那一手是「巧妙的把戏」,像变戏法。台词里有人说 That was a nifty trick the other night,就是「那天晚上那手真漂亮」。
可以说 disappearing act。台词里提到 that disappearing act... you pulled today at your group's meeting,就是说他今天在小组会上演了一出「消失戏法」,人不见了。
smooth things out。台词里一句 And smooth things out with the others,就是跟其他人「缓和关系」、别弄僵。
就是「打得紧却有攻击性」:只挑好牌,但一进场就很凶、敢加注。台词里说 You only play premium hands,又强调 tight, but aggressive,还补一句 I do mean aggressive。
是「盲打」,也就是「不看牌也上」。最后一句就是 I'll play it blind,前面还说 the cards don't even matter,意思是牌好不好都无所谓。
