didn't work so well, did it?The Mist · 2007 — 第 7 / 11 章 · 4'53" · B2
灯一黑,超市里的人就分成两拨:一边有人不停地 preach(反复说教),吓唬大伙;另一边有人提醒,真出事就 cut and run(见势不妙就撤),别逞强。为了一趟药店补给,还得 first things first(先办最要紧的事)。这种劝人别上头、先把事排好先后的说法,开会、带团队都用得上。
超市停电,一片黑暗里,人们的恐惧开始变形。有人不停地 preach(反复说教),用灾难吓唬众人,把大家往迷信上带;也有人清醒地提醒同伴,风头不对就 cut and run(见势不妙就撤),别拿命去赌。要去药店取补给,还得先 first things first(先办最要紧的事),把能做的排个先后。这段戏里全是这种稳住阵脚的说法:preach 是布道,也指没完没了地给人洗脑;cut and run 是见势不妙赶紧撤;first things first 就是先做最要紧的。想劝人冷静、给混乱的场面定个顺序,这几句都非常好用。

众人猜测迷雾的范围,说说不定全世界都这样,反正谁也说不准。
Yeah, it could be the whole world for all we know.反意疑问句:wouldn t make us any less dead now would it 在陈述句后加一个短问句 would it,构成反意疑问。前面用否定,后面用肯定,说话人其实不需要回答,只是逼对方承认这个结论。

I'd like to leave before people start drinking the Kool-Aid.酷爱饮料(比喻盲目追随的迷魂汤)——drink the Kool-Aid 来自一场集体服毒事件,指盲目相信并追随某套说辞;带强烈贬义,只在评论和调侃时用,正式场合要换成更中性的说法。
I'd like to leave before people start drinking the Kool-Aid.双重 the 的对应结构:The flakier people get the better she s gonna look 用两个 the 加比较级,表示一者变化带动另一者:人越不靠谱,她就越显得有道理。两个分句用同一个结构对应,前半是条件,后半是结果。
The flakier people get, the better she's gonna look.不信那一套
No, I don't buy that.疯了、脑子不正常——nuts 是口语里说人「疯了」的说法,带调侃或轻蔑;熟人间能用,正式场合或对不熟的人说会显得冒犯。

Sure, as long as the machines are working.把某人吓得屁滚尿流(粗话)
You scare the shit outta them, no more rules.把他们吓得屁滚尿流(粗话)——用 shit 加重「吓坏」的程度,语气粗;只在熟人之间或情绪激烈时说,正式场合、对长辈和客户都不能出口。
You scare the shit outta them, no more rules.转向、求助某人
They'll turn to whoever promises a solution.支持某人、帮某人说话
Ollie, please back me up here.back 的尾音搭上 me,常连成 ba-me,一路滑到 up。

You get him out of here, you just keep driving.As a species we re fundamentally insane作为一个物种,我们从根上就是疯的。 把灾难的根源从怪物移回人类自己:不是世界疯了,是我们本来就疯。它用一句断言给整部电影的人性主题定了调。
Why d you think we invented politics and religion你以为政治和宗教是怎么发明出来的? 用一句反问把政治和宗教解释成「给互相残杀找理由」的工具。它尖锐,却正好说出灾难中人如何迅速分成阵营。
My God David we re a civilized society我的天,大卫,我们可是文明社会。 把「文明社会」当成挡箭牌,立刻被下一句拆穿:文明只在机器还转着的时候成立。它点出文明的脆弱。
You don t have much faith in humanity do you你对人性没什么信心,是吧? 把一场关于要不要逃命的争论,一下子提升到「你信不信人性」的层面。反问加附加问句,既不直接指责,又把对方逼到必须表态的位置,是很有力的质询句式。
意思是见势不妙就赶紧撤、拔腿就跑。多带点贬义,指一遇危险就丢下同伴开溜,也能中性地劝人保命要紧。
first things first,用来提醒对方先抓住最紧急的那件事,别的排后面。开会定优先级时特别好用。
有。日常里常指没完没了地说教、给人灌一套道理。说某人 is preaching,往往带点不耐烦,觉得他在唱高调。
for all we know,意思是就目前掌握的情况看、说不定。用来强调信息有限,后面接的常是最坏的猜测。
drinking the Kool Aid,源自一场集体服毒惨案,指不加分辨地跟从、被灌迷魂汤。说人 drinking the Kool Aid,就是笑他被人牵着走。
