The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two · 2020 — 第 9 / 20 章 · 5'36" · B1

夜袭马厩偷走星星:buy some time

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。

发生了什么

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。

Not until that star is back on the tree.

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。

and that will never change.

而这永远不会改变。 面对叫嚣,不回骂,只留下一个时间尺度:永远。句子越短,立场越硬,像一枚钉子把争论钉住。
