The Mask · 1994 — 第 5 / 8 章 · 4'04" · B2

可可邦戈睡衣被追问:beat him to the punch

警察拎着睡衣上门,追问昨晚人在哪儿。局里一句 beat him to the punch(抢在对方出手之前先一步),是说有人抢在泰瑞尔前头动了银行。柜台前又有人承认 I haven't exactly been myself lately(我最近状态不太对)。想说「抢先一步」或「我最近不太对劲」,这两句比直说更像本地人。

发生了什么

睡衣出现在可可邦戈,警察上门问昨晚去向,又要核对银行员工指纹。有人判断 This guy beat him to the punch(抢在对方出手之前先一步):别人还没动手,他已经抢先了。有人问是不是 an inside job(内鬼干的),意思是自己人做的案。有人下令活捉那个绿脸,谁挡路就报复。银行里迟到的人被训,忽然顶回去,事后只轻声说 I haven't exactly been myself lately(我最近状态不太对),把失态说得很轻。put up with(忍受)是忍下讨厌的人或事。抢功、怀疑内鬼、跟上司硬撑、解释自己不对劲,这几句都能用上。

本章全部批注

78 句台词里标了 32 处

语法 · B1Won't you come in

否定疑问邀请:Won't you come in 用否定式疑问来发出邀请,等于「不进来坐坐吗」。它比 come in 更客气,也留了对方拒绝的余地。

Won't you come in?
短语 · B1what do you know about something

你对…了解多少

What do you know about this mask character?
短语 · B2insult someone's intelligence

把我当傻子、侮辱我的智商

语法 · B2There can't be two idiots

存在句否定推测:There can't be two idiots 用存在句加 can't,把判断说成「不可能存在两个」。先摆出「有」,再一票否决,语气比直接否定更笃定。

There can't be two idiots with pajamas like these.
短语 · B2what is something coming to

(感叹)都乱成什么样了

I mean, uh, what is, uh, what is this city coming to
短语 · B2one hell of a something

极其厉害的、了不得的

that's one hell of a rubber mask.
发音hell of a

hell 的尾音直接贴上 of,of 常弱化为 /əv/ 再并入 a,整串收成 /ˈheləvə/。

that's one hell of a rubber mask.

短语 · B2till doomsday

一直关到世界末日、永远

俚语 · C1whack job

All I need is prints to lock this whack job up till doomsday.
俚语 · C1son of a bitch

混蛋(粗口)——重度脏话,当面骂人等于撕破脸。影视里常见,现实中只在对立冲突时听到;同事、客户、陌生人面前都不要用。

who finds that green-faced son of a bitch before the cops do.
短语 · B1get the word out

You're losing it, Dorian.
短语 · B2extra baggage

多余的人、累赘

You weren't putting up much of a fight when that freak show tried to kiss you.
语法 · B2when that freak show tried to kiss you

时间状语从句:when that freak show tried to kiss you 是时间状语从句,把「没反抗」这件事钉在一个具体时刻上。when 引出的画面越细,指控就越具体。

You weren't putting up much of a fight when that freak show tried to kiss you.
俚语 · C1freak show

怪胎、怪物(也可以是猎奇表演)——贬损说法,指人怪异骇人。熟人夸张吐槽可以,当面叫别人这个就是侮辱,正式场合禁用。

You weren't putting up much of a fight when that freak show tried to kiss you.

语法 · B2If I have to put up with your slovenly behavior

条件状语从句:If I have to put up with your slovenly behavior 先抛出一个条件:如果我还得忍受你这副邋遢样。if 引出的是威胁的前半句,后半句才是真正的狠话。

If I have to put up with your slovenly behavior-- back off, monkey boy...
短语 · B2someone's personal piggy bank

被当私房钱随意取用的地方

Before I tell daddy you're running this place like it's your own personal piggy bank.

Before I tell daddy you're running this place like it's your own personal piggy bank.
短语 · B2that will be all

没你的事了,可以退下了

That'll be all, Ipkiss.

God! What side of whose bed did you wake up on, man?
短语 · B2not be oneself lately

最近状态不对劲、不像平时的自己

I haven't exactly been myself lately.
短语 · C1put the color back in someone's cheeks

让人恢复气色、振作起来

This will put the color back in your cheeks.

看懂「可可邦戈睡衣被追问」

这一章能学到

  • 会用 insult my intelligence 开口
  • 见到 beat him to the punch 知道在施压
  • 能听懂这场里的讽刺或命令

发音重点

  • hell of a — hell 的尾音直接贴上 of,of 常弱化为 /əv/ 再并入 a,整串收成 /ˈheləvə/。
  • lookin' at — lookin' at 里 lookin' 的词尾和 at 粘起来,听起来像 looki-nat。
  • wake up on — wake 的尾 k 与 up 连上,up 的 p 又轻触 on,三拍滑成 /weɪˈkʌpɑn/ 不停顿。
I haven't exactly been myself lately.

我最近确实不太像我自己。 用最轻的一句话盖住最重的事,越含糊越让人想知道背后发生了什么。

All I need is prints to lock this whack job up till doomsday.

我只要指纹,就能把这疯子关到世界末日。 把办案流程说成一句狠话:差一份证据,刑期就是永远,夸张里带着决心。

It's going to be payback for anybody who crosses me.

谁挡我的路,我就让谁付出代价。 把报复说成一条对所有人有效的规矩,不点名反而更冷;crosses me 比「得罪我」更有画面。

There can't be two idiots with pajamas like these.

不可能有两个傻瓜穿同款睡衣。 用荒唐的前提当铁证,越离谱越显得结论不容置疑,笑点和逻辑同时成立。

关于这一章的问题

beat him to the punch 是什么意思?

就是抢在对方出手之前先一步。局里那句 This guy beat him to the punch,是说有人比泰瑞尔的人更早动了银行。别人还在准备,你已经做完,就可以用。

「我最近状态不太对」英语怎么说?

说 I haven't exactly been myself lately。用这种轻描淡写,像是自己也不确定。银行里有人刚被夸突然硬气,就拿这句把原因含糊过去,不把底交出来。

an inside job 是什么意思?

就是内鬼干的,由内部的人下手。警察问 You figure it was an inside job? 是在猜抢银行的会不会是员工自己。同事监守自盗、公司内部泄密,都可以这么说。

put up with 和「忍一下」怎么区分?

put up with 是忍受、容忍讨厌的人或事,往往已经忍了很久还在硬撑。台词里有人说 If I have to put up with your slovenly behavior,意思是这种邋遢他不想再受。抱怨上司、室友、麻烦客人,都能用。

「把话传出去」英语怎么说?

说 get the word out,就是把消息放出去、传开。有人吩咐 I want you to get the word out,要街上的混混都知道,赶在警察前面找到那个绿脸的人。你想让一个圈子都听见,就用这句。
