删邮件遇上假警报:no such thing as

朱尔斯母亲家里,警报忽然进入倒计时,一屋子人翻找电脑,有人打电话问密码。电话里一句 put someone on(让某人接电话),电话那头又坚称这是假警报,后面一句 no such thing as(根本没有…这回事)把笑点顶出来。想学打电话催人、聊假警报的地道说法,这场戏够用。

发生了什么

一群人进了朱尔斯母亲家,要找一台电脑,删掉一封邮件。厨房里的警报突然进入倒计时,他们打电话问密码,电话里有人急着说 It's about to go off(马上就要响了)。电话那头说这警报是假的,可它还是响个不停,一句 no such thing as(根本没有…这回事)等于咬定假警报根本不存在。等有人慌到喊 My life is over!(我的人生完了),旁边一句 pull it together(稳住;冷静下来)让他先定定神。这些说法在打电话、处理突发状况、安抚慌乱的人时都用得上。

I'm gonna be a felon and I have not committed a crime!

我就要成重罪犯了,可我根本没犯罪! 用“重罪犯”对“没犯罪”的硬碰硬反差,把荒唐恐慌写成金句。

关于这一章的问题

put someone on 是什么意思?

是「让某人接电话」。台词里有一句 Becky, put Jules on.(贝基,让朱尔斯接电话),就是叫对方把电话转给另一个人。转接电话、叫人来听时都能用。

「警报要响了」英语怎么说?

可以说 go off。台词里有一句 It's about to go off.(马上就要响了),about to 就是「马上要」。说警报、闹钟突然响起,都可以用 go off。

screw around 是「胡闹」还是「磨蹭」?

screw around 可以表示「磨蹭」,也可以表示「胡闹」。台词里一句 Becky, don't screw around.(贝基,别磨蹭)是在催对方别拖,赶紧把电话转过去。日常催人别胡搞也能用。

pull it together 在戏里怎么理解?

是「稳住;冷静下来」。有人慌到说 My life is over!(我的人生完了),旁边一句 Davis. Davis, pull it together.(戴维斯,冷静点)就是让他把情绪收住。身边有人慌神时,这句能派上用场。

「根本没有…这回事」用英语怎么讲?

可以用 no such thing as,表示「根本没有…这回事」。台词里说 I knew there was no such thing as a fake alarm!(我就知道根本没有什么假警报),就是咬定某类东西不存在。想表达「哪有这种事」时很好用。
