if you didn't spill in the first place.The Proposal · 2009 — 第 1 / 14 章 · 3'27" · B2
主管把下属叫进办公室,先说一句 I'm letting you go(让你走人,解雇的委婉说法),紧接一句 You're fired(你被解雇了)当场摊牌。被炒的人瞬间翻脸大骂,主管用 I didn't fire you because I feel threatened(我解雇你不是因为受到威胁)逐条顶回去。职场里从客气到撕破脸的说法,这场戏都能听到。
科尔登图书公司的办公室里,主管把一名下属叫来谈话,只因交代他请一位嘉宾上节目,他却说根本不可能。主管没有动怒,先一句 I'm letting you go(你走人吧),再补一句 You're fired(你被解雇了),还给他两个月找工作、对外说是自己辞职。下属当场翻脸,抱怨自己被针对,甚至骂人。主管冷静顶回去:I didn't fire you because I feel threatened(我解雇你不是因为受到威胁),最后用 thrown out on your ass(被轰出去)收尾。职场里想听懂委婉的解雇、硬气的回击,这几句直接能用。

一开始,本来
if you didn't spill in the first place.只是个摆设,没有发言权
Now remember, you're just a prop in here.一个字都不说,守口如瓶
Won't say a word.让某人离开,是解雇的委婉说法
玛格丽特把鲍勃叫进办公室,先冷静说出 I m letting you go,随后才把话说死成 You re fired。
Bob, I'm letting you go.letting 末尾的 ng 不必拖住,让 you 的 /j/ 直接贴上来,常连成 /ˈlɛtɪŋjuː/,舌面一次到位。
Bob, I'm letting you go.十几次,很多次
I asked you over a dozen times to get Frank to do Oprah and you didn't do i.刚跟某人通完电话
Well, that is interesting, because I just got off the phone with him and he is in.有点难打交道
Frank can be a little scary to deal with. For you.另找一份工作
Now I will give you two months to find another job. And then you can tell everyone you resigned, OK?骂女人恶毒的脏话——极重的侮辱词,这里是鲍勃失控时骂上司;对任何人都算冒犯,正式场合和字幕外绝不要用。
You poisonous bitch.暗中使绊子、拖累别人——源自古时用沙袋偷袭,指背地里下绊子;工作里可用来指责人,但带强烈指责意味。
You don't think I see what you're doing here? Sandbagging me on this Oprah thing.替某人感到可悲或难过
You know what, I feel sorry for you. Because you know what you're gonna have on your deathbed?临终时,弥留之际
You know what, I feel sorry for you. Because you know what you're gonna have on your deathbed?先否定再纠正的原因句:先否认对方以为的那个原因,再立刻抛出真正的原因;先挡住误会,再给出结论,比平铺直叙更有压迫感。
I didn't fire you because I feel threatened. No. I fired you because you're lazy, entitled, incompetent.背着伴侣出轨
and you spend more time cheating on your wife than you do in your office.比较结构里的动词替代:后半句不重复 spend more time,只留 do 顶替前面的动词,than 一接就把两件事摆在一起比。
and you spend more time cheating on your wife than you do in your office.than 的元音常弱化成 /ə/,整词只留 /ðən/,you 也跟着变轻,重音让给后面的 do。
and you spend more time cheating on your wife than you do in your office.被强行轰出去、被扫地出门
玛格丽特警告鲍勃再敢多说一个字,就让安德鲁把他轰出门外,还威胁把过程拍下来传到 YouTube;语气是彻底撕破脸。
And if you say another word, Andrew here is gonna have you thrown out on your ass, OK?out 收尾的 t 在 of 前会变浊,那个 v 几乎不摩擦,常连成 /ˈaʊdəv/,听上去只剩两个轻音节。
Another word and you're going out of here with an armed escort.把成果白白毁掉
to throw it all away. OK?气坏了——口语里说人很生气,语气冲;熟人之间能用,对上级或正式场合要换说法。
I'm sure that Dad is pissed.再回复某人
We'll get back to you as soon as we can.as soon as 引导的省略:as soon as we can 后面省掉了 get back to you,意思是等我们一有能力就尽快回复,是客套又留余地的说法。
We'll get back to you as soon as we can.I didn't fire you because I feel threatened. No. I fired you because you're lazy, entitled, incompetent.我解雇你,不是因为我觉得受威胁。不。我解雇你,是因为你又懒又自负又无能。 它先把对方最容易接受的解释否掉,再一字一顿给出真正的判决;三连形容词收尾,把这场对峙从情绪争吵钉成一份结论。
but we take all of our submissions around here very seriously.不过我们这里对所有投稿都极其认真对待。 最职业的一句话,把一屋子的私人恩怨压回业务本身:对外可以冷酷,但对作品的态度不能含糊。
Now I will give you two months to find another job. And then you can tell everyone you resigned, OK?现在我给你两个月时间另找工作。然后你可以告诉所有人,是你自己辞职的,明白吗? 把解雇包装成一份体面的退出方案,冷酷里带着施舍感;看似给你台阶,其实是一道不可违抗的命令。
Another word and you're going out of here with an armed escort.再多说一个字,你就立刻被保安押着离开这里。 用最短的条件句下最后通牒,画面具体到武装护送,威胁感比吼叫更强,也更冷。
这是职场里解雇人的委婉说法,字面是让某人离开。比直接说 You're fired 客气,常见于主管正式通知,也可能说成 I have to let you go。
最直接是 You're fired,语气很硬;委婉一点可以说 I'm letting you go,先给对方留面子。
指暗中使绊、突然发难打压对方。这里下属用它指责主管故意在节目的事上坑他,让他出错,是很重的指控。
意思都是解雇。letting you go 是给对方面子的说法,You're fired 直接、不留余地;先委婉后直白,落差一下就把结果说死。
可以说 thrown out on your ass,意思是被强行轰出去,语气很冲,多用在放狠话、威胁人的场合,正式场合别用。
