All right, let's try something easier.Swimming with Sharks · 1994 — 第 4 / 16 章 · 5'02" · B2
上班第一天,盖伊把蓝包的 Equal 当成粉包的 Sweet'N Low,被老板劈头盖脸骂「你没有脑子」。老板一边逼电话那头的人照念卖鞋词,一边笑着说 just humor me(迁就我一下),还强调 No judgment calls(不许自己拿主意)。想听懂职场里裹着糖衣的羞辱,这几句值得先记。
新助理盖伊上班第一天就领教了老板巴迪的做派。巴迪先逼电话那头的人照念一句卖鞋的话,笑着说 just humor me(迁就我一下),又撂下 as of tomorrow(从明天起)你只能去卖鞋的狠话。转头盖伊把蓝色糖包当成粉色的 Sweet'N Low 送来,巴迪借题发挥,骂他「你没有脑子」,强调 No judgment calls(不许自己拿主意):他只要服从,不要主意。just humor me 是「迁就我一下、顺着我来一次」,请人配合、对方不情愿时最好用;as of tomorrow 是「从明天起」,通知、合同、日程变更都能用;judgment call 指「需要自己拿主意的判断」,职场里说 no judgment calls 就是让你别自作主张。听懂老板的客气话和潜台词,比背单词管用。

All right, let's try something easier.迁就我一下、顺着我来一次
巴迪逼着新助理盖伊学念那句卖鞋的套话,盖伊不肯配合,巴迪就让他先迁就自己,跟着重复一遍。
Come on, just humor me. Just say it once.从明天起、自明天开始
巴迪逼混音师罗布跟读卖鞋的台词,然后说从明天起他唯一能找到的工作就是去卖鞋,把羞辱包装成一句生效日期。
Good. Now memorize it, because as of tomorrow,认同我的看法
Well, I'm glad you see it my way...把它办完
Just get it done.挂断了电话
She hung up, and they want you down in the staff meeting right away.立刻、马上
She hung up, and they want you down in the staff meeting right away.从中吸取教训
Let me tell you something, Guy, and learn from this...值得参加
If they can't start a meeting without you, well, that's a meeting worth going to, isn't it?去操心、去关注
And that's the only kind of meeting you should ever concern yourselves with.忍不住、控制不了自己(并非故意)
女制作人米兹在会客区等巴迪,见到盖伊就主动搭话;盖伊解释自己不是故意打断,只是进门时在大厅看见了她,一时没忍住才开口。
I couldn't help it. I saw you in the lobby on my way in.从这个会议里抽身
I'm on my way to an important meeting, and... I can just tell that there are enormous opportunities for the both of us, and I will pull myself out of this meeting坐下来聊聊
sit and chat.让她开心、哄着她
Keep her happy. All right?能稍等一下吗
Can you please hold?是同一回事
It's not the same thing, is it?不关我的事
What Equal contains is not my concern here.所在意的是
What I am concerned with is detail.帮我个忙(这里是命令)
Do me a fucking favor.这里是怎么运作的
Look, I know that this is your first day and you don't really know how things work around here, so I will tell you.需要自己拿主意的判断、主观拍板
巴迪对着新助理盖伊强调,这份工作里不需要他自己做判断,只需要照指令执行,任何自作主张都不该出现。
No judgment calls are necessary.毫无意义
What you think means nothing.保护我的利益
You are here to protect my interests and to serve my needs.满足我的需求
You are here to protect my interests and to serve my needs.是你该负的责任
And it is your responsibility now to see that I get what I want.我说清楚了吗
Am I clear?边听边学
Because if you do this job right, if you listen and learn,会做得挺好
I mean, if I can get dog boy here a job, you're gonna do just fine.You are here to protect my interests and to serve my needs.你在这里,就是来维护我的利益、满足我的需求。 用一句像岗位说明的话宣告主仆关系,把人的价值压缩成工具。
What you think means nothing.你的想法毫无意义。 把「个人判断」从职场里彻底删除,冷酷得没有余地。它是权力关系里最赤裸的一句宣告。
I'm not trying to be cruel. I'm just trying to help.我不是想刻薄,我只是想帮你。 最经典的自我开脱:用善意包装伤害,把控制说成栽培。听懂这句,就听懂了一种人格。
If they can't start a meeting without you, well, that's a meeting worth going to, isn't it?如果少了他会议都开不成,那才是一场值得去的会,不是吗? 用一句反问把职场地位写成硬通货:判断一场会值不值得去,看别人能不能离得开你。犀利、好记、能直接套用。
意思是「迁就我一下、顺着我来一次」。请人配合做件小事、对方不太情愿时用,语气带点央求,比 please 更口语。
可以说 humor me,也可以说 just humor me。请别人配合、对方有点不情愿的时候用,比 please 更自然、更口语。
对,as of tomorrow 就是「从明天起」。多用在通知、公告、合同里,比如 as of tomorrow the price changes,表示从明天开始生效。
指没有标准答案、需要自己拿主意的判断。老板说 no judgment calls,意思是别自作主张,按我说的做就好。
都是代糖,区别在包装颜色:Sweet'N Low 是粉色纸包,Equal 是蓝色纸包。戏里拿错蓝色那包,才被老板抓住不放。
