你绝不要那么说
Don't you ever say that.Swimming with Sharks · 1994 — 第 9 / 16 章 · 5'19" · B2
《时代》周刊一篇文章把老板骂得很难听,他一口咬定是斯特拉干的,一句 This has got Stella written all over it(一看就是斯特拉的手笔),就决定开战,接着要盖伊把文章 bury it(压下去),找齐每本杂志销毁。甩锅加发号施令的职场场面,这几句最用得上。
《时代》周刊一篇文章把巴迪骂成 a blight on society(社会毒瘤),还说他只会拍动作片。巴迪认定这是对手搞的,一句 This has got Stella written all over it(一看就是斯特拉的手笔),就决定开战,甚至要炒掉整个宣传部门。他转头对盖伊下命令:想让道恩的项目起飞,就得先 we need to bury this article(把这篇报道压下去),去找齐城里每一本杂志销毁,还要 rip them up, every copy(一本本撕掉)。盖伊说自己今晚有事,对方只回一句 Cancel 'em(取消)。a blight on society 是骂人「社会毒瘤」;bury it 是把报道或丑闻压下去;have something written all over it 是一看就是某人的手笔。碰到职场甩锅、逼你取消私人安排,这些话都很好用。

杂志文章把巴迪骂成社会的祸害,他对着助理念出这句话,气得要把整篇报道压掉。

巴迪读到一篇骂他社会祸害的报道,认定这不是普通新闻,而是斯特拉在背后搞鬼,说整件事里处处是她的影子,还扬言要开战。

巴迪晚上打电话要盖伊留在办公室,录下福斯特·凯恩在 CNN 的采访,说这非常重要,让他别急着下班。

It just puts 'em right to sleep. You know.We are in the business of developing people's dreams, not damning them.我们这一行是去成就别人的梦想,而不是去诋毁它们。 把自己包装成梦想的保护者,顺手给对手扣上「诋毁者」的帽子。堂皇的措辞背后全是生意。
This has got Stella written all over it.这事儿一看就是斯特拉的手笔。 written all over it 把「锁定幕后黑手」说得像看笔迹:不用证据,一眼就认出。职场政治里最实用的一句判断。
But it makes me feel so much better.可这让我感觉好受多了。 承认报复解决不了问题,却依然要做,只因为「爽」。它把人性里最诚实也最不堪的那一面说出来。
Find a way. Do it. Figure it out.想办法。去做。自己搞定。 三个短句全是命令,节奏像节拍器,把别找借口说到了极致。任何带团队、催进度的人都能直接搬走这八个字。
意思是社会毒瘤、败坏社会风气的存在,是很重的骂人话。剧中《时代》周刊用它来形容巴迪,等于当众把他定性成祸害,也难怪他急着要把报道压下去。
可以说 bury it。bury 本是埋葬,引申成把报道、丑闻掩埋掉,让人别再提。剧中上司下令 find it, bury it,就是要盖伊把每一本杂志都处理干净。
意思是处处透着某人的痕迹,一看就知道是谁干的。剧中有人说这篇文章 has got Stella written all over it,就是在指认幕后黑手。
就是 them 的口语缩写,Cancel 'em 意思是把那些安排都取消。剧中上司问盖伊今晚有没有计划,不等他回答就补一句 Cancel 'em,霸道感全在这两个词里。
stick around 更口语,意思是在原地多留一会儿别急着走。剧中上司让盖伊 stick around 加班录采访,语气随意的同时也不容拒绝。
