有点恼火
Anyway, she, uh, is a little peeved.The Proposal · 2009 — 第 7 / 14 章 · 1'49" · B2
父亲先为昨晚的失礼道歉,话锋一转就劝儿子留下接手家业,还把他这些年在纽约的打拼一句 goofing off(不务正业)全否了。对方回一句 Here we go again(又来了)。想拒绝家里人又不撕破脸,这两句用得上。
父子俩在锡特卡家里面对面,父亲先为昨晚待客不周道歉,话锋一转就说自己在考虑退休,打拼一辈子、from the ground up(白手起家)建起的家业总得有人接手,劝儿子别再在纽约 goofing off(游手好闲),回来做正事。儿子反问父亲什么时候才肯认真看待自己的工作,又回一句 Here we go again(又来了),意思是这样吵早就不是第一次。聊到父子间没法让步的分歧、想委婉表明自己过得很好,这几个说法都能直接套用。

父亲想劝安德鲁回家接班,先强调自己和妻子当年白手起家,一点点建起整个家业,好让这份事业听上去非他继承不可。
I've done a lot of things in my life. Practically built an empire with your mother from the ground up.打下了一片家业
I've done a lot of things in my life. Practically built an empire with your mother from the ground up.ground 结尾的 d 不吐气,舌尖直接翻上去接 up,两个词的音常并成 /ɡraʊnˈdʌp/。
I've done a lot of things in my life. Practically built an empire with your mother from the ground up.除非……否则毫无意义
It doesn't mean anything unless... Unless you have someone to leave it to.游手好闲、不务正业

I think I've been more than understanding about your goofing off in New York.goofing 尾部收成软腭鼻音 /ŋ/,舌根一松就带出 off 的元音,常连成 /ˈɡuːfɪŋɔːf/。
I think I've been more than understanding about your goofing off in New York.瞎混、不认真做事
I need you to quit playing around.认真看待我做的事
When are you going to start taking what I do seriously?认真做人、像个大人样
When you start acting seriously.时间状语从句:when 从句把对方的期待反手奉还:等你先认真起来,我才谈认真。一句话把标准丢回去。
When you start acting seriously.wish 后接过去完成:wish 后面用过去时态,说的正是与现在相反的事:其实没有另一个儿子,所以这句既是抱怨也是自伤。
I wish you had another son. I really do.接手家族生意
One who wanted to stay here. One who wanted to take over the family business.take 末尾的 k 借给 over 当起音,常连成 /teɪˈkoʊvər/,重音挪到中间,over 不再独立起头。
One who wanted to stay here. One who wanted to take over the family business.条件状语从句:if 从句表面是让步,实际是叹气式的退出:既然这样能让你快乐,我也无话可说。
If that's what makes you happy, son, I got nothing to say.不接受道歉
You know what? Apology not accepted. Have fun out here.If that's what makes you happy, son, I got nothing to say.如果那让你快乐,儿子,那我就没什么好说的了。 一句看似退让的放手,其实是父亲能做到的最大让步;承认管不了,也承认希望孩子快乐,两者同时成立。
You know what? Apology not accepted. Have fun out here.你知道吗,道歉我不接受。你就在外面好好待着吧。 把所有和解的可能当场退回,还用一句祝福当门板拍上;冷战的狠就在这种客气里。
I wish you had another son. I really do.我真希望你还有另一个儿子,我是真这么想的。 不控诉、不顶撞,只把自己说成一个让父亲失望的替代品;重复的 I really do 让这句自嘲格外沉。
When are you going to start taking what I do seriously?你到底什么时候才会开始认真看待我做的事? 用一个反问把多年被轻视的委屈砸回桌上;不是问时间,是要求被承认。
意思是游手好闲、不务正业,指该做正事却在瞎混。父亲用它形容儿子在纽约的生活,语气里带着不满和失望,比 playing around 还要重一点。
可以说 Here we go again,用来表示同一套争吵、抱怨或麻烦又开始了,带点无奈和不耐烦。这场里儿子一听到父亲劝他回家,就甩出这句。
from the ground up,字面是从地基往上盖,引申为从零开始、一步步把事业建起来。父亲说自己和妻子把家业一点点建起来,用的就是这个说法。
不算认输,更像收起脾气、不再争了。父亲说只要这样能让你快乐,他就没什么好说的,表面是放手,其实是失望之后不再劝了。
很伤人,只有真的不想原谅对方时才用,意思是不接受你的道歉,等于把对方的歉意顶回去。对长辈和同事最好别这么硬。
