深更半夜
-[in English] The cannons! -What? In the middle of the night?The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two · 2020 — 第 9 / 20 章 · 5'36" · B1
深更半夜,大炮轰响,雪地上出现不该有的东西;一个自称来道贺的反派现身,先假惺惺说一句 My apologies for any inconvenience(若有不便,还请见谅),被回呛 Inconvenience?(不便?)之后,又亮出真实打算:要把星星带去南极,好 buy some time(争取时间)。想学怎么把狠话说得客客气气,这段很典型。
圣诞老人村里,深更半夜响起炮声,乔拉闯进马厩,驯鹿被惊散,达舍伤得很重。贝尔斯尼克现身,先假惺惺道歉:My apologies for any inconvenience(若有不便,还请见谅),被一句 Inconvenience?(不便?)回呛,随即承认 The star!(星星!)是他偷的。他挑明来意:要把星星带去南极,好 buy some time(争取时间),并说要召集自己的精灵、发明新东西,让大家忘掉圣诞老人。想学怎么用客气话掩饰恶意、怎么摊牌,这些台词都很有戏。

The only thing you ever cared about was your stupid holiday.你在乎过的唯一一件事,就是你那个愚蠢的节日。 把一整套指控压成一句「你只在乎那个节日」。the only thing 一出口,被忽视的委屈就有了形状。
