这到底是怎么回事
But what the hell is going on here? Would you just let me finish, please? That okay?The Menu · 2022 — 第 7 / 13 章 · 2'37" · B1
斯洛维克当众请出杰里米,念起他当初写来求工作的信,说他 aspires to greatness(一心想出人头地),也点破他 forsaken everything(抛下了一切)只为追梦,还追问台下的客人有没有人想要他的人生。想学怎么当面把一个人的野心、牺牲和选择说得又准又狠,这几句很值得记。
第四道菜上桌前,斯洛维克当众介绍杰里米,念出他当初写来求工作的信,说他 aspires to greatness(一心想出人头地),可是这个年纪还只是 not great(算不上出色),永远也达不到。斯洛维克还指出他 forsaken everything(抛下了一切)只为达成目标,并当面问他 do you like this life(喜欢这种生活吗)——那种自己梦想过的生活。最后他转向全场,问有没有人想要他的人生。学怎么用英文评价一个人的野心、牺牲和选择,这些话全是现成说法。

这到底是怎么回事
But what the hell is going on here? Would you just let me finish, please? That okay?让我把话说完
But what the hell is going on here? Would you just let me finish, please? That okay?let me 的 t 在两元音间弹成闪音 /ɾ/,重音留在 let,me 轻贴,接 finish 别停。
But what the hell is going on here? Would you just let me finish, please? That okay?女士们先生们
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet sous chef Jeremy Louden.请欢迎、请见见
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet sous chef Jeremy Louden.Ladies and 里 and 只剩轻 /n/,贴着 Ladies 的尾音,gentlemen 再稳稳跟上。
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet sous chef Jeremy Louden.原籍在
Originally from Sparks, Nevada, Jeremy studied at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park.在…就读
Originally from Sparks, Nevada, Jeremy studied at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park.一封真挚的信
Jeremy's goal, as he wrote in a heartfelt letter, was to work for me here at Hawthorn.给我干活
Jeremy's goal, as he wrote in a heartfelt letter, was to work for me here at Hawthorn.as 引导的插入语:Jeremy s goal as he wrote in a heartfelt letter was to work for me 里 as he wrote 是插入语,补充这个目标的出处。它把主语和 be 动词隔开,读的时候两头要接得上。
Jeremy's goal, as he wrote in a heartfelt letter, was to work for me here at Hawthorn.我没说错吧
Isn't that right, Jeremy?是,主厨(厨房答话)
Yes, Chef. [CLICKS TONGUE]Yes Chef 两个词都重读,Chef 更重,是厨房里利落的应答节奏,干脆不含糊。
Yes, Chef. [CLICKS TONGUE]算不上出色
But he's not great.永远成不了顶尖
He'll never be great.拼命想要
He desperately wants my prestige, my job, my talent.一心想出人头地
主厨当着众人评价后辈,说他野心极大,却永远够不到那个高度。
He aspires to greatness, but he'll never achieve it.永远达不到
He aspires to greatness, but he'll never achieve it.在他这个年纪
Like me at his age.抛下了一切
Jeremy has forsaken everything to achieve his goals.达成目标
Jeremy has forsaken everything to achieve his goals.不定式表目的:has forsaken everything to achieve his goals 用 to 加动词原形表示目的,说明他付出一切的缘由。这个结构简短利落,适合直接下判断。
Jeremy has forsaken everything to achieve his goals.做出来、端上来
Like mine, his life is pressure. Pressure to put out the best food in the world.一切顺利的时候
And even when all goes right and the food is perfect,没办法躲开
主厨说,哪怕一切顺利,那团乱也迟早会来。
there is no way to avoid the mess.那一团糟
there is no way to avoid the mess.把自己的人生弄成什么样
主厨把「人生的乱」摊开:那是你自己一手弄出来的。
The mess you make of your life,你的理智、精神状态
of your body, of your sanity.喜欢这种生活
do you like this life? This life that you dreamed about?梦想过的
do you like this life? This life that you dreamed about?想要我的人生
No, Chef. Mmm-hmm. And do you want my life?不是我的职位
Not my position nor my talent. My life.nor 并列否定:Not my position nor my talent 用 nor 把两个被否定的东西并排,等于说「不是职位,也不是才华」。nor 出现在否定句里,语气郑重,最后再抛出真正要说的那一个。
Not my position nor my talent. My life.第四道菜
Ladies and gentlemen, your fourth course.He aspires to greatness but he ll never achieve it他渴望伟大,却永远到不了。 把一个人的野心和天花板同时说出,既不挖苦也不留情。最冷的评价,往往用最平的句子。
The mess you make of your life你把自己的人生搞成的那团乱。 不说道理,只摆结果:乱不是外界给的,是自己一手造出来的。短语式的句子,反而最重。
Not my position nor my talent My life不是我的职位,也不是我的才华。是我的人生。 先连删两个诱人的东西,最后只留一个最重的:人生本身。递进的句式让答案落下时格外沉。
do you like this life This life that you dreamed about你喜欢这样的生活吗?你梦寐以求的那种生活? 把「成功」当作一个问题丢回去:你追到的梦,真的是你想要的吗?重复 life 并把 dream 压上重音,一句话把整部片子的主题从美食拉到了人生。
意思是「一心想出人头地」,形容一个人拼命想做出成绩、被看得起。电影里主厨用它评价杰里米,重点在后面那句 never achieve it。
there is no way to avoid,也可以说 no way to avoid。后面接具体的事,比如 no way to avoid the mess(这一团糟躲不掉)。
forsake 更重,指彻底抛弃、舍弃对你重要的人或东西,带感情色彩;give up 只是放弃。电影里用 forsaken everything 说一个人为追梦抛下了一切。
the mess you make of your life。make of 是「把……变成、弄成」,所以整句就是质问对方把人生经营成了什么样子。
not great。想说得更重,可以说 never be great(永远成不了顶尖)。电影里主厨连着用这两句来形容杰里米。
