到底、究竟是什么
-[high-pitched yipping] -What in the world is that?The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two · 2020 — 第 13 / 20 章 · 4'11" · B2
反派炫耀自己的新座驾和杂交坐骑,主角只回一句 They're a long way from cool(离酷还远着呢),又补一句 I'll give you that(这点我承认)。追逐中他们撕开时间:We just opened a tear in the fabric of time(我们刚在时间之布上撕开一道裂口)。想学斗嘴和科幻说法,这段很带感。
追逐中,反派炫耀新座驾和杂交的豺郊狼,主角冷冷一句 They're a long way from cool(离酷还远着呢),又承认 I'll give you that(这点我承认)。双方在雪橇追逐里撕开时间:We just opened a tear in the fabric of time(我们刚在时间之布上撕开一道裂口),那些 wormholes won't stay open for long(虫洞撑不了太久),再不把圣诞精神拉上来,就 We're stuck here forever(永远困在这儿)。他们回到过去的波士顿机场,发现圣诞精神只剩百分之七,还找到一件 out of juice(没电了)的时光装置。想学斗嘴、科幻设定和解释危机,这些台词都很到位。

圣诞老人一边嫌弃对手的怪雪橇,一边承认贝尔斯尼克确实有几分聪明。
But you are clever, Belsnickel. I'll give you that.要不要打赌、不服来赌——口语里挑战对方说法时用,带挑衅;正式场合说 do you want to bet 更稳妥。

-What is it? -Ah, some kind of time twister.琢磨出、搞明白
Looks like Belsnickel figured out a rudimentary form of time travel.figure out 的过去式:figured out 是 figure out 的过去式,表示琢磨出、搞明白;这里指贝尔斯尼克弄出了初级时光旅行。

But, as usual, it's also got his signature shoddy craftsmanship.没电了、没劲了
圣诞老人检查那台时光扭曲器,发现它已经没电了。
And looks like it's out of juice.out 和 of 常连成 out-of,of 只留轻 ə,重音落在 juice 上。
And looks like it's out of juice.Ah, you really didn't think I was just gonna disappear, did you?啊,你不会真以为我会就这么消失吧? 用一个反问把退场改写成威胁:消失的是你们的天真,不是我。结尾的 did you 一挑,挑衅感全出来了。
That's a world without Santa Claus.那就是一个没有圣诞老人的世界。 不描述战争和混乱,只给一个定义:没有圣诞老人的世界。用缺失的画面代替控诉,反而更让人心凉。
The reindeer won't be able to fly at all. Now, look at them. They're exhausted.驯鹿就彻底飞不起来了。 把抽象的精神危机落到一个具体后果上:驯鹿飞不起来。代价一旦具体,威胁就不再空泛。
Looks like Belsnickel figured out a rudimentary form of time travel.看来贝尔斯尼克琢磨出了一种初级的时光旅行。 用冷静的口吻夸对手:不说危险,先承认厉害。佩服的语气藏在 figured out 里,克制反而更显分量。
字面是「时间之布上的一道裂口」,科幻里指时间被撕开、出现了能穿越的缺口。台词里说 we just opened a tear in the fabric of time,就是「我们刚把时间撕开了一道口子」。
意思是「没电了、没劲了」。台词里说 it's out of juice,就是那台装置电用光了,设备没电、人累瘫都能用。
I'll give you that。台词里说 I'll give you that,就是「这点算你说得对」,先夸再反驳时很好用。
意思是「离……还差得远、远谈不上」。台词里说 They're a long way from cool,就是「它们离酷还差得远」。
说科幻设定用 a tear in the fabric of time;嫌东西没电用 be out of juice;承认对方说得对用 I'll give you that;说差距大用 a long way from。
