The Intern · 2015 — 第 18 / 18 章 · 3'06" · B2

劝朱尔斯别放弃公司:add up

一早有人上门,开口就问“你住这儿?”,对方回一句 put someone up(收留某人暂住)——原来只是借住。进屋后,一个人说自己已经想了一整晚,想放弃一手做大的公司;对面用 I don't see how that adds up(这账算不通)把这笔交换顶了回去。想劝人别冲动,这几句都能直接用。

发生了什么

朱尔斯一早来到本的公寓,开门的却是借住在这里的菲奥娜;几句寒暄后菲奥娜离开,留下两人单独说话。朱尔斯说自己想放弃公司,本提起当年去仓库那天,说她亲手建起的东西没人能替代。这里的 put someone up 是「收留某人暂住」,sleep on it 是「过一夜再决定」,add up 是「逻辑上说得通」。想劝朋友别冲动做决定,或想解释一件事为什么说不通,都能用上。

本章短语

add up

逻辑上说得通make sense when considered

听完对方为了挽回婚姻、宁可放弃公司的打算,这句 add up 是在说:这笔交换在道理上根本算不过来,不是数字加法,也不是没听懂。

His story sounds fine, but the timing doesn't add up.他的说法听着还行,但时间对不上。

看懂「劝朱尔斯别放弃公司」

发音重点

  • gonna have — gonna 常弱化为 /ɡənə/,have 的 h 轻带、/æv/ 收短,重音落在 have。
  • kind of commitment — kind of 轻带,重音给 commitment
  • get all sentimental — 重音给 sentimental,前面轻带。
No one else is ever gonna have That kind of commitment to your company, Jules.

朱尔斯,再不会有谁对你的公司有那种投入了。 用 no one else 和 ever 把不可替代性说死,劝人时最有分量。

And you're gonna give that up In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair?

而你要放弃它,就指望你丈夫不再出轨? 把 give up 和 in the hopes that 并置,温柔却逼人看清代价。

You should feel nothing but great about what you've done.

你对自己做过的事,只该感到无比自豪。 nothing but great 双重强调,把对方的自我怀疑直接按下去。

And I'd hate to see you let anyone take that away from you.

我可不愿看到任何人把这份成就从你手里夺走。 hate to see 比 I don't want 更软,却把保护姿态说得很清楚。

I don't see how that adds up.

我看不出这账怎么算得过来。 add up 把荒诞选择说成一笔算不平的账,短而有力。

关于这一章的问题

sleep on it 是什么意思?

意思是「过一夜再决定」:先把事情放一晚,第二天再拿主意。戏里那句 I slept on it 就是有人说自己已经想了一整晚,不是字面「睡在上面」。

「抱着……的希望」英语怎么说?

用 in the hopes that,后面接完整从句,意思是「抱着……的希望」。戏里有人问对方是不是要放弃这一切,原句接着就是 In the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair,也就是指望丈夫不再出轨。

add up 和「加起来」有什么关系?

add up 本义是相加,但这里是「逻辑上说得通」。I don't see how that adds up 就是「这账我怎么算都算不通」,表示一件事前后对不上、说不通。

I hope that's okay 适合什么场合?

它意思是「希望你不介意」,临时上门、改时间或提小请求时都能先垫一句。戏里有人一早过来,先说明自己四点就醒了,再补一句 I hope that's okay,语气就很客气。

put someone up 是「放上去」吗?

不是。put someone up 是「收留某人暂住」,让某人暂时住自己家。戏里那句 Ben's been putting me up until I can find a place 就是说还没找到房子,一直借住在本那里。

get all sentimental 是什么意思?

意思是「突然感伤起来」,get all 表示变得很……。戏里说 there's no need to get all sentimental about it,就是劝人别把气氛搞得太感伤。
