全靠某人、多亏某人
Well, I owe it all to him.The Godfather · 1972 — 第 8 / 9 章 · 4'02" · B2
买断赌场兄弟站队：an offer he can't refuse
酒店里，有人先丢下 I'll make him an offer he can't refuse（无法拒绝的报价），再请对方一年出场五次。听着像谈价钱，其实是不答应也得答应。买断谈崩后，又有人警告 take sides with（站到某人一边）。谈条件施压，或家里人帮外人时，这两句都用得上。
发生了什么
酒店里，有人请对方坐下，说唐知道他感激，想请个忙。家里准备放弃橄榄油生意，在这边安顿，赌场和酒店也要买断。一句 an offer he can't refuse（无法拒绝的报价）把这事说死——开价听着客气，意思是不答应也得答应，谈条件、施压都能用。接着才请他一年出场五次，把赌客引进赌场。对方到了不肯卖，还翻旧账，说自己当年收留过家里人。有人圆场，说他只是 flies off the handle（突然发火），脾气来得快，并不代表翻脸。哥哥却帮着外人说话，被当面拦住：take sides with（站到某人一边）就是偏袒外人、跟家里作对。家里有人胳膊肘往外拐，这句比骂人清楚。

这一章能学到
- 用 an offer he can't refuse 封住退路
- 用 counting on you 把人情压成任务
- 用 buy you out 开口买断对方的股份
- 用 take sides 听出站队就是叛家
发音重点
- offer he can't — offer he can't 里 offer 和 he 连读，he 的 h 几乎不发音，听起来像 offe-ri-can't。
- flies off the handle — flies 的 z 音和 off 的元音相连，常连成 flie-zoff，the 只留轻 ə，整串顺下来一气呵成。
- take sides with — take sides with 里 sides 末尾的 z 直接滑进 with，中间几乎不停顿。
I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.我会给他一个他无法拒绝的报价。 把胁迫包装成一份善意，最狠的话用最轻的语气说出。它几乎定义了家族的做事方式。
But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again.但永远别再站到任何人那边，去跟家族作对。 用最冷静的措辞把底线钉死：家族之外没有阵营可选。威胁藏在平静里，比怒吼更压迫。
You're my older brother, and I love you.你是我哥哥，我爱你。 在最重的警告前先放一句亲情：爱你，所以更要你站对边。威胁因此有了温度，也更难反驳。
I'm Moe Greene! I made my bones when you were out with cheerleaders.我是莫·格林！我在这行立住脚的时候，你还在跟啦啦队员鬼混。 用资历回敬年轻人：我打江山时你还没入门。一句自报家门，把辈分和轻蔑全说尽。
关于这一章的问题
an offer he can't refuse 是什么意思？
字面是无法拒绝的报价。有人要用它买断赌场和酒店，对方不答应也得答应，所以听着像开价，其实是施压。谈条件、逼对方松口时可以用。
「站到某人一边」英语怎么说？
take sides with。有人警告哥哥，别再站到外人那边跟家里作对。家里人帮着外人说话、你想划清界限，就用这句。
flies off the handle 是什么意思？
就是突然发火、一下子炸毛。有人替朋友圆场，说他有时会这样，但大家还是好朋友。对方脾气上来、你不想把话说绝，可以用它把事说小。
「店家请客」英语怎么说？
on the house，就是免费、店里埋单。有人给每个人开筹码，让他们拿赌场的钱玩。请客、免单、酒店送一晚，都可以说 on the house。
made my bones 是什么意思？
指的是在这行立住脚、早就证明过自己。对方报上名字，说自己成名时，问话的人还在跟啦啦队员玩。被当成新手、你想压对方的资历，可以用这句。
「买断股份」英语怎么说？
buy you out。有人问信用够不够买断对方，点明是赌场和酒店，还说柯里昂家族要买断他。谈收购、想一次拿下股份，就用 buy you out。
