为…工作
Yeah, I'm Ben. I work for Jules.The Intern · 2015 — 第 3 / 18 章 · 2'06" · B2
上车前,有人从纸袋里喝东西被看见,场面一下僵住;一句 I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable(不想让你不自在)先把难堪说破,紧接着 not feeling so hot(身体不太舒服)把话题转到请假。想把警告和推托说得体面,这几句能直接搬进职场。
楼下等人时,有人看见司机从纸袋里喝东西,没有直接拆穿,而是用 I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable(不想让你不自在)铺垫,再给一句 Why don't you tell her you can't drive her today(你不如跟她说今天开不了车),把警告说成选择。随后一句 not feeling so hot(身体不太舒服)成了请假理由,有人主动说 I'm happy to cover for mike(乐意替迈克顶班),把话头接了过去。上车后,strictly confidential(严格保密)和 goes without saying(不言而喻)又把职场里的分寸感摆到台面上。

为…工作
Yeah, I'm Ben. I work for Jules.碰巧已经看到
Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, But I just happen to have looked out the window, And it appeared you were drinking something From a paper bag.用纸袋遮着喝(多指酒) 纸袋遮的是酒,不是普通饮料。
Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, But I just happen to have looked out the window, And it appeared you were drinking something From a paper bag.形式主语:it 为形式主语,真正内容是从句 you were drinking,把指控说成观察。
Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, But I just happen to have looked out the window, And it appeared you were drinking something From a paper bag.happen to have 快说时 to 和 have 都很轻,先抓 happen 再滑到 looked。
Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, But I just happen to have looked out the window, And it appeared you were drinking something From a paper bag.你在说什么
I don't know what you're talking about, man.老兄/伙计——男性熟人间的随口称呼,正式场合别用
I don't know what you're talking about, man.gonna have to 常连成一串,have 的 v 几乎不带,重音留在 tell 和 today。
Why don't you tell her you can't drive her today, Or I'm gonna have to.将要——口语缩略,熟人聊天可用,正式写作别用
Why don't you tell her you can't drive her today, Or I'm gonna have to.都没问题吧
We all good?很抱歉要这么做
Jules, I'm sorry to do this, But I'm actually not feeling so hot.不确定该不该
Not sure I should be driving.委婉条件:wouldn't 把拒绝说成假设,好像是在替对方着想,比 I don't want 更软。
I wouldn't want to give you anything.请一天假
Yeah, no, you should take the day off And feel better, okay?给她加活儿
Really? You want to give her more to do?定语从句:you hear in the car 修饰 everything,省略了 that,意思是“车里听到的一切”。
And everything you hear in the car is strictly confidential.整理汇总 不是把东西放一起,是整理研究资料。
Well, your dad and I are finally putting together All our research at the hospital.每晚不足六小时
So, we've been studying women under 40 Who sleep less than six hours a night.更有可能经历
more likely To experience major weight gain Compared to women who slept seven hours a night.compared to 里的 to 很轻,别把 compared 和 women 切成两块。
more likely To experience major weight gain Compared to women who slept seven hours a night.开玩笑——听到离谱消息时用,别对上级说
Are you kidding me?两年没睡过整觉
You know I haven't slept in two years.改变事实
Well, I can't change the facts, dear.赶着进城
Mom, you know what? I'm rushing into the city for a meeting and I need to prepare.回家后给你打电话
Can I call you when I get home?Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, But I just happen to have looked out the window, And it appeared you were drinking something From a paper bag.听着,我不想让你难堪,但我碰巧往窗外看了一眼,好像看到你在用纸袋喝着什么。 先声明不想让人难堪,再拿窗外所见逼对方接话,礼貌里带刀。
Why don't you tell her you can't drive her today, Or I'm gonna have to.你为什么不告诉她你今天不能开车送她,不然就得我来说。 用问句包装最后通牒,把选择权和后果一起推给对方。
I wouldn't want to give you anything.我不想把什么传染给你。 不说病菌,用 anything 留白,既体贴又给自己台阶。
I- I'm not trying to be rude. I just think better in the back.我——我不是想冒犯。我只是坐后座想事情更清楚。 先道歉式垫话,再给一个私人理由,把怪要求说成个人习惯。
You know I haven't slept in two years.你知道我这两年都没睡过整觉。 用两年没睡的夸张,把研究数据变成个人委屈,亲人间才有的撒娇式反驳。
身体不太舒服,不是「不热」。有人用它说明自己状态不适合开车,后面还补一句 Not sure I should be driving,把请假理由说得很委婉。
替人代班说 cover for。一句 I'm happy to cover for mike 就是「我很乐意替迈克顶班」,cover for 后面接你要替的那个人。
两个说法都通,核心都是「那还用说、当然」。有人刚说车里听到的一切要严格保密,回答 goes without saying,就是「这还用说」,表示自己当然不会外传。
用来先说「我不想让你不自在」,再提一件尴尬事,比直接质问缓和。戏里就是这样铺垫,然后才点出从纸袋里喝东西。
不是正式道歉,更像提前打预防针:下面的话可能不礼貌,但我没有恶意。戏里用来说明不坐副驾不是看轻对方。
