The Mist · 2007 — 第 5 / 11 章 · 7'58" · B1

说服众人出去求救:tightly wound

超市里的人分成几派,有人坚持留下来守,有人主张出去求救。面对质疑,一句 tightly wound(绷得太紧)形容对方神经过敏,一句 psych out(把某人搞得心神不宁)点出有人已经被吓住。想劝人别慌、也想拆穿谁在虚张声势,这两句很顶用。

发生了什么

迷雾把整间超市封死,屋里的人很快分成了两拨:一拨想守着不动,一拨主张出去求救。争论里,有人被说成 tightly wound(绷得太紧),意思是神经太紧张、一点就炸;也有人被指已经 psych out(把某人搞得心神不宁)了好几个人,说的是被吓到、乱了阵脚。还有人被夸 brass balls(胆子够大),是句带着佩服的粗话。想劝架、想稳住场面、想拆穿谁在虚张声势,这些说法在吵架和辩论里都用得上。

本章全部批注

127 句台词里标了 36 处

俚语 · B1Sup

咋样(打招呼的口语缩写)——Sup 是打招呼的极简口语写法,用来跟熟人打招呼;对长辈、客户或正式场合说都太随便。

'Sup, little dude.
短语 · A2come get someone

来接我们

How come your friends don't come get us?
发音come get us

come get us 里 come 和 get 连读,get 再接 us,三个词几乎串成一串,中间不停顿。

How come your friends don't come get us?
语法 · B2don t you got like a radio

非标准的疑问句:don t you got like a radio 没有按标准语法把 got 拆成 do you have,而是直接把 don t you 和 got 拼在一起。这是口语里常见的非标准问法,意思是「你不是有无线电之类的吗」。

But don't you got like a radio?
短语 · B1could use a hand

需要人搭把手

Guys, we could use a hand over there.
发音use a hand

use 的 /z/ 顺滑搭到 a 上,use-a 几乎连成一个音;hand 保持完整,中间别收紧。

Guys, we could use a hand over there.
短语 · A2sure thing

没问题、当然

Yeah, sure thing.
短语 · B2get off one's ass

别瘫着了、动起来(粗话)

短语 · B1be away on business

短语 · B1not much use

没什么用处

Ain't much use unloaded, ma'am.
俚语 · B2Ain t much use

派不上什么用场(非标准否定)——ain t 是非标准否定,这里意思是不装子弹就没什么用;拳馆、街头口语常见,正式场合要换成标准否定。

Ain't much use unloaded, ma'am.
短语 · B2talk something through

把事情好好谈清楚

Let's just talk this thing through.
短语 · B1fall for something

短语 · B2seek rescue

寻求救援

And no offense, Mrs. Carmody, but the only way we're gonna help ourselves is to seek rescue.
语法 · B2the only way we re gonna help ourselves is to seek rescue

the only way is to 结构:the only way ... is to seek rescue 把「唯一办法」放在句首,再用 is to 加不定式给出答案。英语里说明唯一途径常用这个结构,重点自然落在句尾的动作上,语气很确定。

And no offense, Mrs. Carmody, but the only way we're gonna help ourselves is to seek rescue.
短语 · B1ask a favor

请人帮个忙

I just want to ask a favor.
短语 · B2throw in with someone

汽车手套箱

The shells are in the glove compartment. Drive it back.
短语 · B2talk someone out of something

劝某人放弃某事

You sure there's no way I can talk you out of this?
语法 · B2there s no way I can talk you out of this

there be 存在句加从句:there s no way I can talk you out of this 用存在句说「没有办法」,后面接一个省略关系词的从句说明是什么办法。there 只占主语位置,真正的主语是 way,句子读起来比 I can t 更委婉。

You sure there's no way I can talk you out of this?
短语 · B2the joke is on someone

最后丢脸的是某人

Then I guess the joke would be on me after all.

混蛋(粗俗骂人词)——asshole 是很重的脏话,用来骂讨厌或可鄙的人;只在极端愤怒或熟人互骂时出现,正式场合、对长辈和客户都绝不能出口。

I just don't think he's the bloodthirsty asshole you make him out to be.
短语 · B2take something up with someone

去找某人理论

Well, you take that up with the devil when you run into him.
短语 · B2at one's leisure

Just chat it over at your leisure.

and 弱化成轻 /n/,nice 的 /s/ 直接滑进 easy,像 /naɪsniːzi/;中间不插元音。

Nice and easy.

看懂「说服众人出去求救」

这一章能学到

  • 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气
  • 把台词搭配放进新的日常回应里
  • 观察关系变化如何改变说话语气

发音重点

  • come get us — come get us 里 come 和 get 连读,get 再接 us,三个词几乎串成一串,中间不停顿。
  • use a hand — use 的 /z/ 顺滑搭到 a 上,use-a 几乎连成一个音;hand 保持完整,中间别收紧。
  • Nice and easy — and 弱化成轻 /n/,nice 的 /s/ 直接滑进 easy,像 /naɪsniːzi/;中间不插元音。
Then I guess the joke would be on me after all

那我想,最后丢脸的就是我了。 面对「要是你错了呢」,不辩解、不逞强,只说那丢脸的就是我。它用自嘲接住风险,是整场争论里最体面的回答。

And no offense Mrs Carmody but the only way we re gonna help ourselves is to seek rescue

无意冒犯,卡莫迪夫人,但我们唯一能自救的办法就是去寻求救援。 用一句礼貌又坚定的宣言,把「等神迹」换成「去找人」。它是全片理性对抗迷信最清楚的一次表态。

And I promise you I m gonna do everything I can to get us back to her

我向你保证,我会尽我所能,带我们回到她身边。 对孩子许下的承诺,用 do everything I can 这种具体说法撑住,比「别怕」有用得多。它把父亲的无力翻译成行动,是灾难片里最踏实的安慰句。

I just don t think he s the bloodthirsty asshole you make him out to be

我只是不觉得他是你说的那种嗜血混蛋。 用 I just don't think 降低火气,再用 make him out to be 指出对方是在「塑造」一个形象。一句话既反对又不失分寸,是很成熟的辩论表达。

关于这一章的问题

tightly wound 是什么意思?

形容一个人绷得太紧、神经兮兮,一点小事就紧张。说某人是 tightly wound,像在提醒大家他快炸了。

「胆子够大」英语怎么说?

brass balls,是句带佩服的粗话,夸人有种、敢作敢当。正式场合别用,熟人之间才这么讲。

「你有空的时候」用英语怎么说?

at your leisure,意思是等你有空、不急。请人慢慢看、慢慢聊时很好用,比 when you are free 更客气。

psych out 是什么意思?

意思是把某人吓得心神不宁、乱了阵脚。常用被动 be psyched out,形容被对手或气氛搞垮了心理。

被叫 tightly wound 是骂人吗?

不算骂人,更像调侃和提醒,说对方太紧张、太容易炸。语气看场合,笑着说就没事。
