酒吧里道谢聊男人:above and beyond

酒吧里,一句 I literally can't thank you enough(我怎么谢都不够)把感谢说到极点,紧跟着 above and beyond(远超本分)夸团队做得比职责多。想学会把感谢说得真诚又不肉麻,这两句很实用。

发生了什么

酒吧里,几个人边喝边道谢。一句 I literally can't thank you enough(我怎么谢都不够)把感谢说到极点,紧跟着 above and beyond(远超本分)夸团队做得比职责多。被夸 cool under pressure(压力下保持镇定)的人回说自己是第一次干这种事,努力装镇定。酒劲上来后,话题转到男人、女人和代际差异,有人感叹 a dying breed(稀有的一类人)。这些说法适合庆功、道谢、夸同事扛事,也适合在酒桌上自嘲。

高手;老兄——熟人调侃式称呼,对长辈别用

Calling me "ace"?

看懂「酒吧里道谢聊男人」

发音重点

  • son of a bitch — 快说时 son of a 黏成一串,bitch 压在重音上
  • thank you enough — thank you 轻快带过,重音留给 enough
  • cool under pressure — cool under 连起来滑过去,pressure 压低收尾
  • have men gone — have 只留轻轻气声,men gone 紧跟在后
I literally can't thank you enough for what you just did.

为你刚做的事,我真的怎么谢你都不够。 literally 把客套话拉满,thank you enough 收得干脆,适合酒桌真心道谢。

I am indebted to you forever.

我永远欠你一份人情。 indebted 比 thank you 更郑重,forever 又把它说成酒桌誓言,半真半醉。

I never want to not know you.

我永远不想再回到不认识你的状态。 双重否定绕了一下,把酒桌上的热络说成害怕失去,笨拙但动人。

They still seem to be trying to figure it out.

他们似乎还在努力弄明白自己该怎么定位。 一句轻描淡写的观察,把整个世代的迷茫收进 seem to be trying,语气不重却有余味。

Look and learn, boys, Because if you ask me, this is what cool is.

好好看着学吧,小子们,因为要我说,这才叫酷。 命令句开场,if you ask me 又退半步,酒桌教父腔和自嘲挤在一句里。

关于这一章的问题

above and beyond 是什么意思?

意思是「远超本分、格外卖力」。戏里有人说 It was so above and beyond and brave and loyal,就是夸对方做得比职责要求多得多。

「我永远欠你们的情」英语怎么说?

可以说 I am indebted to you forever,也可以说 I am forever in your debt。两句都在戏里出现,适合正式一点的感谢。

cool under pressure 是夸人什么?

夸人在压力下还能保持镇定。台词里说 You were very cool under pressure,就是赞对方遇事不慌。

「弄明白、想出办法」用英语怎么说?

用 figure it out。戏里说 They still seem to be trying to figure it out,意思是他们好像还在摸索自己的位置。

through the roof 只能形容血压吗?

不只。字面是「穿过屋顶」,常表示数字或情绪飙升得吓人。台词里说的是 my blood pressure was through the roof,指血压高得吓人。

a dying breed 是什么意思?

意思是「稀有的一类人、快绝迹的人」。戏里有人拿在场的一位当例子说 A dying breed,又让在场的人好好看着学,是夸他这样的才叫酷。
