The Mist · 2007 — 第 3 / 11 章 · 8'05" · B2

说服众人相信怪物:at stake

有人刚从雾里逃回来,急着让所有人相信怪物是真的,可布伦特认定这是骗局,怎么说都不信。大卫只能把话挑明:at stake(性命攸关),别再拿这个当儿戏。想提醒对方事情严重、开不得玩笑,就用 at stake。

发生了什么

雾气漫进超市之后,最先遭殃的人被拖走,大卫带着满身惊魂回来,只想让所有人相信:Something came out of the mist and took him(有东西从雾里出来把他抓走了)。可布伦特坚称这全是骗局,怎么解释都没用,再怎么强调 at stake(性命攸关)也压不住他的火气。围绕「雾里到底有没有东西」,两边彻底吵翻,连外地人都被拿出来说事。at stake 表示处于危险中、有重大得失;get your head out of your ass 是句粗话,意思是「清醒点」;windbag 则指夸夸其谈、满嘴废话的人。想在争执里把利害关系摆清楚,这几个说法一学就会。

他妈的(加重语气的脏话)——fuckin 是 fucking 的省音写法,用来加重语气、表达愤怒或轻蔑;只在熟人之间或情绪激动时说,正式场合、对长辈和客户都绝对不能出口。

  • hang out with — hang out with 里 hang 和 out 连读,out 再接 with,几个词一路滑过去,中间不停顿。
What we saw was impossible

我们看到的东西根本不可能存在。 用「不可能」三个字承认自己也无法解释亲眼所见。它把恐惧从「有怪物」推进到「常识失效」,是整部电影的分水岭。

Lives are at stake around here

这里可是人命关天。 把争论的重量一句话压满:不是面子,不是对错,是命。它给所有还在斗气的人划出底线。

Something came out of the mist and took him

有东西从雾里冲出来,把他拖走了。 整部电影最直接的一句证词:没有形容词,只有动作和结果。它把传闻变成了所有人都得面对的现场。

This is how it is

事情就是这样。 不解释、不修饰,用一句近乎认命的宣告收住全场。它既是交代现实,也是在打断所有侥幸。

关于这一章的问题

at stake 是什么意思?

意思是处于危险之中、有重大得失。说 lives are at stake,就是人命关天,用来提醒对方这事开不得玩笑。

「清醒点」用英语怎么骂?

get your head out of your ass,是句粗话,等于说别自欺欺人了。正式场合别用,熟人之间吵架才这么讲。

「外地人」英语怎么说?

out of towners,指不是本地来的人。这个词常带点隔阂感,好像外来客跟自己人不是一路。

windbag 是什么意思?

指夸夸其谈、废话连篇的人,等于「话痨、大忽悠」。说谁是 windbag,就是嫌他只会吹,不办实事。

「有东西从雾里出来把他抓走了」英语怎么说?

Something came out of the mist and took him。took 在这里不是「拿走」,而是把人抓走、夺走,语气很冷。
