问你要一包代糖
Tomorrow, he'll ask you for an Eequal.Swimming with Sharks · 1994 — 第 5 / 16 章 · 3'58" · B1
老助理拉着盖伊立规矩:老板要什么你猜不到,只能 The trick is to have everything ready(诀窍是把一切都提前备好),明天他要代糖你也得先备着。末了还撂一句狠话,这行 Punching below the belt is not only all right(打腰以下不但没关系),it is rewarded(还会被奖励)。想在职场听懂这种半真半吓的话,这几句最典型。
上班头几天,带他的老助理把规矩一条条摆出来:诀窍是 The trick is to have everything ready(把一切都提前备好),还得 anticipate(提前猜到),明天他要一包代糖,你最好两种甜味剂都带着。盖伊听得直说 that's crazy(太疯狂了),对方却回一句 This is not a business(这不是做生意),Punching below the belt is not only all right, it is rewarded(打腰以下不但没关系,还会被奖励)——这才是这行的玩法。后面电话铃响个不停,道恩上门谈事,新人一天就被现实教育。lose-lose situation 说的是怎么选都吃亏;punch below the belt 是出阴招、打人要害;roll up your sleeves 是撸起袖子准备干活。碰上职场里的潜规则、狠话和临时差事,这几句最用得上。

前辈给盖伊讲娱乐圈的规矩:这里不是做生意,打腰以下这种犯规不但允许,还会被奖励,所以你得想清楚凭什么让人记住你。
Punching below the belt is not only all right...问问你自己
So in this, this business of show, you gotta ask yourself...刮目相看、注意到你
What is it that is gonna make them sit up and take notice of you?去了解它们
Get to know them.撸起袖子,准备动手干活
老助理把一堆规矩讲完后,招呼盖伊别光站着,卷起袖子一起干活,因为接下来还有一整天的工作。
Come on. Roll up your sleeves.惹上大麻烦
You are in big trouble.在这圈子里死定了
Start making funeral arrangements, because you are dead in this town.没跟你开玩笑
I am not kidding you.今天下班前
Is there any way you can have that delivered by the end of the day?接电话
Pick up the phone, pick up the phone!要见血(夸张的狠话)
If I get that answering machine one more time, I draw blood!我跟你说过多少遍了

Patch her through to me right away. All right?有点迟了
Well, Buddy's running a little late, so, uh...请坐
just have a seat.Start making funeral arrangements, because you are dead in this town.开始准备后事吧,你在这行已经死了。 用死亡比喻封杀,一句话就判了职业死刑,比任何脏话都更决绝。
What is it that is gonna make them sit up and take notice of you?到底是什么能让他们猛地坐直、开始注意到你? 把竞争问成一个自省问题:想让别人看见你,先想清楚凭什么。
The trick is to have everything ready.诀窍就是把一切都提前备好。 把「从容」还原成准备:不是天赋,不是运气,而是在事情发生前就把答案摆在手边。
This is not a business.这里不是生意场。 六个字把娱乐行业的本质挑明:这里不按生意的规矩来。短、狠、反常识,是整章的题眼。
意思是两头不讨好、怎么选都吃亏的局面。这里老助理在说,老板的需求随时变,你无论怎么做都可能被挑错,根本赢不了。
说 punch below the belt。字面是拳击里打腰带以下的位置,属于犯规,引申为用下三滥的手段伤人。剧中还说这种招在这行不但没事,反而会被奖励。
字面是卷起袖子,实际是准备动手干活的固定说法,带点要下场拼的意思。老助理用它招呼盖伊别愣着,接下来有活要干。
意思是把电话转接给某人、把线路接通。剧中上司让盖伊 patch her through to me,就是马上把某人的电话接进来。
说 This is not a business。剧中接着还有 No rules here,意思是在娱乐圈这一行没有规矩可讲,别拿普通生意的逻辑来理解。
