被劝别去前任饭局:off the hook

多姆说前任和埃里克约他去旧餐厅 clear the air(把话说开),雅丝当场傻眼:Wild(离谱)!她劝他别去,改去激光枪战 merk 几个小孩儿(轻松击败),还说 You're gonna let them off the hook(你要放他们一马?)。多姆却坚持这是他的 process(过程)。想学英式口语里怎么吐槽、怎么劝人,这段够用。

发生了什么

雅丝陪多姆走向餐厅,一路听他说要去赴约。多姆说前任想 clear the air(把话说开),还提到 Eric's gonna be there too(埃里克也会在);雅丝连喊 Wild(离谱),说这可是你们的旧地方,劝他 Text her, you can't make it(发短信说去不了),改去激光枪战 merk some eight-year-olds(干掉几个八岁小孩)。多姆说他得 take some responsibility(担点责任),雅丝却说他是在 rolling over like a bitch(像条狗一样翻肚皮认输)。她提出陪他进去、用卡皮里尼亚把自己灌飘,多姆婉拒,说这不是带个 random(刚认识的人)进去的事,两人互道 good luck with(祝顺利)告别。

本章全部批注

40 句台词里标了 26 处

短语 · B2casually off to do something

就这么随随便便地去……

And you're just casually off to see this girl now?
短语 · B2drop it to the far post

把球传到远门柱

That's what he does. He drops it to the far post.
语法 · B2the first time I've been out the house in three months

the first time 配现在完成:the first time 后面用现在完成,说的是从过去一直数到现在才第一次发生。它把三个月的封闭压进一句话,重点不在出门,而在这段时间有多长。

Today's pretty much the first time I've been out the house in three months.
短语 · B2can't get enough of something

怎么都不够、爱不释手

And Greggs. I can't get enough of their sausage rolls.
发音sausage rolls

sausage rolls 连读时 sausage 末尾的音直接接到 rolls,听起来像 sausagerolls,中间不停。

And Greggs. I can't get enough of their sausage rolls.
短语 · B2preach to the choir

对懂的人讲道理,白费口舌

- [child] Yeah, like this. - You're preaching to the choir, babe.
短语 · C1summit of doom

末日峰会(戏称要面对的大场面)

And where is this, uh, summit of doom taking place?
短语 · B1used to be someone's place

曾经是某人的地方

Used to be "our" place.
短语 · B1absolutely not

绝对不行

No. Absolutely not.
短语 · B2merk someone

干掉、打败某人(玩笑说法)

We'll go to Laser Quest, merk some eight-year-olds.
俚语 · B2merk

干掉、收拾掉(玩笑式)——merk 原是街头俚语「干掉」,游戏和朋友打闹时常拿来开玩笑。正式场合或对不熟的人说会显得太冲。

We'll go to Laser Quest, merk some eight-year-olds.
短语 · B2take responsibility

担起一点责任

Like, I get what they did was peak, but I have to take some responsibility, you know?
俚语 · B2peak

太过分、太离谱——peak 在英式俚语里表示某事很过分、很糟。朋友聊天里评价事情很自然,书面和正式场合应换成 ridiculous 之类的中性词。

Like, I get what they did was peak, but I have to take some responsibility, you know?
短语 · B2let someone off the hook

放某人一马、不追究

You're gonna let them off the hook after how they treated you?
语法 · B2after how they treated you

after 引导的从句:after 后面接的不是时间点,而是一整件事:他们那样对待你。介词后接从句的结构把「在那样的对待之后」当条件,反问对方怎么还肯放过他们。

You're gonna let them off the hook after how they treated you?
发音let them off

let them 里的 them 常被吞成一个很轻的音,听起来像 let 'em,off 保持清楚。

You're gonna let them off the hook after how they treated you?
短语 · B1part of the process

过程的一部分

Um, see, I don't think you're getting it. This is part of the process.
短语 · B1that is too far

说过头了、太过分

Sorry. Too far.
短语 · B1why don't I do something

要不我陪你一起进去吧

Hey, why don't I come in with you?
发音get tun up

get tun up 里 get 末尾的音几乎被吞掉,三个词挤成一串,重音落在 tun 上。

We'll get tun up off caipirinhas, show them you don't give a shit.
俚语 · B2don't give a shit

根本不在乎——give a shit 是脏话表达,只能熟人之间说。职场、长辈、正式场合要换成中性说法,否则很不礼貌。

We'll get tun up off caipirinhas, show them you don't give a shit.
短语 · B1no offence

无意冒犯、先说好别介意

This is like a proper, actual life thing, so no offence, but I'm not about to take some random in there with me, am I?
短语 · B2not about to do something

不会带个刚认识的人去

This is like a proper, actual life thing, so no offence, but I'm not about to take some random in there with me, am I?
语法 · B2I'm not about to take some random in there with me, am I

be about to 加反义疑问:be about to 表示不打算做某件事,前面加 not 把态度说死。句尾再用 am I 反问,其实不求回答,而是把对方也拉进来同意这个判断。

This is like a proper, actual life thing, so no offence, but I'm not about to take some random in there with me, am I?
短语 · B1it was nice chatting

聊得挺好(告别客套)

But it was nice chattin'.
短语 · A2good luck with something

祝你在某事上顺利

Hey, good luck with not being a YouTube sensation.

看懂「被劝别去前任饭局」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 I'm not about to 拒绝
  • off the hook 是放过责任
  • clear the air 可被加上引号
  • Too far 能收回刚刚的越界
  • 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气

发音重点

  • sausage rolls — sausage rolls 连读时 sausage 末尾的音直接接到 rolls,听起来像 sausagerolls,中间不停。
  • let them off — let them 里的 them 常被吞成一个很轻的音,听起来像 let 'em,off 保持清楚。
  • get tun up — get tun up 里 get 末尾的音几乎被吞掉,三个词挤成一串,重音落在 tun 上。
- [child] Yeah, like this. - You're preaching to the choir, babe.

你这是对着唱诗班布道呢,宝贝。 把「废话别跟我说」说得又软又俏皮:你说的我早同意了,不必再劝。它比直接打断体面,适合已经站在同一边时回应对方的多余劝说。

You're gonna let them off the hook after how they treated you?

他们那样对你,你还打算放他们一马? 一句话点出心软的危险:被伤害的人总想大度,可大度有时是替别人免了责。反问里既有不解,也有替朋友抱不平,很有立场。

Today's pretty much the first time I've been out the house in three months.

今天差不多是我三个月来第一次出门。 用一件平常事交代一段低潮:不是说自己多难,而是说出门这件事隔了三个月。克制、具体,反而让听的人自己感到分量。

Hey, good luck with not being a YouTube sensation.

祝你当不成网红,一路顺风。 用一句反向祝福收尾,把互怼的输赢说得很轻巧,又损又好笑,是角色关系的点睛之笔。

关于这一章的问题

clear the air 是什么意思?

指把话说开、消除紧张和误会。片里多姆要赴的约,名义上就是跟前任和埃里克 clear the air。

off the hook 是什么意思?

指免于担责、逃过一劫。片里雅丝质问多姆:他们那样对你,你还放他们一马?用的就是 let them off the hook。

「过分、说过头了」英语怎么说?

口语说 Too far,意思是玩笑开过了、话说重了。片里雅丝骂完多姆立刻道歉说 Sorry, too far。

roll over 是打滚吗?

不只是打滚,它常指认怂、任人摆布。片里雅丝用 rolling over like a bitch 挖苦多姆太软。

no offence 怎么用?

意思是「无意冒犯、先说好别介意」,后面常接一句可能不好听的话。片里多姆婉拒雅丝陪同前就这么说。
