先把话核对清楚
有人听完这笔交易,先用 get this straight 把打龙、救公主、换沼泽复述出来,语气像在对账,其实已经觉得荒唐。
Let me get this straight. You're gonna go fight a dragon...shrek-2001 · 2001 — 第 3 / 7 章 · 2'05" · B2
有人把打龙、救公主、换回沼泽核对完,对方回一句驴子也许不该说话。话头转到 ogres are like onions(像洋葱),听的人从发臭、催泪歪到蛋糕和帕菲。比喻被人改了好几版,一句 end of story(到此为止别再争)就能把话收住。
有人先把打算复述一遍:去打龙、救公主,只为让法尔奎德把沼泽还回来。get this straight(先把话核对清楚)就是先对齐事实再往下说。核对的人接着问,你为什么不对法尔奎德来一整套恶怪手段。回话把砍头、插桩、剖脾喝汁说得很惨,再问 sound good to you(你听着觉得这样好吗),得到的是否定。接着才是 a lot more to(不止表面那点东西),再补 like onions(像洋葱)。听的人从发臭、催泪、白毛一路歪到蛋糕和帕菲。最后 end of story(到此为止别再争),等于不接受新比喻。核对、回绝、收口,吵架和解释时都用得上。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
get this straightin the first placethe whole ogre tripsound good to you
本章短语
到此为止别再争stop; this version is final
蛋糕和帕菲都来抢比喻之后,有人把洋葱再说一遍,跟上 end of story。不是故事讲完,是这个话题不准再改。
We are leaving at six, end of story.我们六点走,到此为止。
先把话核对清楚
当初就是这个原因
恶怪那整套老把戏
你听着觉得这样好吗?

先把话核对清楚
有人听完这笔交易,先用 get this straight 把打龙、救公主、换沼泽复述出来,语气像在对账,其实已经觉得荒唐。
Let me get this straight. You're gonna go fight a dragon...重音落在 straight,前两词连着滑过去
Let me get this straight. You're gonna go fight a dragon...gonna 收成一团,别补回 going 和 to
Let me get this straight. You're gonna go fight a dragon...后面那件事才是唯一目的,不是顺便
and rescue a princess just so Farquaad will give you back a swamp...把本来属于对方的东西还回去
and rescue a princess just so Farquaad will give you back a swamp...当初就是这个原因
沼泽不在手里,有人补上 in the first place:不是你弄丢的,是对方先把怪人塞满。语气在追最初那一手。
which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place.塞得满满当当,一点空都不留
which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place.定语从句:which 接住前面的沼泽,说明没有它的原因只有后面那一个。
which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place.贬着叫的怪人——当面叫人会伤人,只学语气别拿去称呼
which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place.听懂了,这件事明白了
I don't get it. Why don't you just pull some of that ogre stuff on him?把某套手段拿出来对付一个人 ogre stuff 不是具体物品,是人们以为恶怪该使的吓人手段
I don't get it. Why don't you just pull some of that ogre stuff on him?把一座地方围住再攻打
Throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grind his bones to make your bread, the whole ogre trip.把骨头磨碎,童话里恶怪的狠话
Throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grind his bones to make your bread, the whole ogre trip.恶怪那整套老把戏
掐人、围城、磨骨头做面包说完,说话的人用 the whole ogre trip 把这串吓人的事收成恶怪那整套老把戏。
Throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grind his bones to make your bread, the whole ogre trip.你听着觉得这样好吗?
砍头、插桩、剖脾说完,有人追问 sound good to you。字面像征求同意,其实把刚列的狠话原样扔回给对方。
Does that sound good to you?先声明一句,下面要纠正你
For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.不止表面那点东西
恶怪被说成只会吓人之后,有人用 a lot more to 顶回去:恶怪比你们想的要多。语气冲,也认真。
For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.to 贴住后面的词,轻轻一带,别单独站住
For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.搁在太阳底下不管,让它自己变
You leave them out in the sun, they get all brown, start sprouting little white hairs.里面还有好几层,一眼看不透 洋葱的层是外皮,恶怪的层是没被人看见的内里;这句说两边都有。
You get it? We both have layers. [Sighs]不是人人都喜欢,还有人不买账
You know, not everybody likes onions.双重否定:don't 再加 no,口语里还是不喜欢,两个否定不会抵消成喜欢。
Have you ever met a person, you say, Let's get some parfait, they say, No, I don't like no parfait?靠出力驮货的牲口 字面是驮货牲口,这里用来把对方贬小
You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden!骂人笨、不开窍——熟人互损才用,正式场合像骂人
You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden!到此为止别再争
蛋糕和帕菲都来抢比喻之后,有人把洋葱再说一遍,跟上 end of story。不是故事讲完,是这个话题不准再改。
Ogres are like onions! End of story.End 先停,of 发虚,story 向下收
Ogres are like onions! End of story.弄得一团糟,自己收不住
Do you have a tissue or something? I'm making a mess.馋得直流口水——朋友间说嘴馋可以,正式场合别用
Just the word parfait make me start slobbering.For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.告诉你,恶怪比人们想的要复杂得多。 先垫一句告诉你,再把「恶怪只会吓人」整层翻掉。
I don't care... what everyone likes.我不管……大家喜欢什么。 care 后面顿住,把「大家都喜欢」整段推到门外。
Ogres are not like cakes.恶怪可不像蛋糕。 甜品比喻刚送上来,这句就把它按灭。
You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden!你这个又笨又烦的小型驮兽! 三个形容词越缩越小,最后用驮兽把人钉死。
Ogres are like onions! End of story.恶怪就像洋葱!到此为止。 比喻只留一句,马上关门,不给蛋糕留座位。
Parfaits may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet.帕菲也许是整个该死的星球上最好吃的东西。 人走了还把一块甜品夸到行星那么大,荒唐得认真。
就是到此为止别再争。对白里它跟在食人魔就像洋葱后面,等于不接受蛋糕、帕菲这些新比喻,讨论到此打住。
说 get this straight。对白开头就是 Let me get this straight,先把打龙、救公主、换回沼泽这几件事对齐,再问是不是这么回事。
就是像洋葱。对方闻到就问是不是很臭、会不会让人哭,都被否掉。说话的人另补 Layers,才把话拉到有层次,那不是这几个词本身的意思。
用 a lot more to。对白里的整句是 there's a lot more to ogres than people think,用来纠正食人魔就会砍头、磨骨头这种印象。
这里是把原因拉回当初。沼泽会没,是因为法尔奎德先往里塞满了怪胎。in the first place 就落在这一步。
字面是在问你听着觉得这样好吗。它紧跟在砍头、插尖桩、剖脾喝汁后面,对方答的是 no, not really,并没有说这主意好。
