某种像……一样的人物
Why didn't you tell me you were some kind of Alaskan Kennedy?The Proposal · 2009 — 第 5 / 14 章 · 7'27" · B2
安德鲁带老板玛格丽特回老家,饭桌上冷不丁宣布两人订婚。父亲一句 She's your meal ticket(她是你的饭票),把儿子说成靠女人上位的人;玛格丽特被点名讲求婚经过,只好现编一段故事救场。想用英文阴阳一句「靠人上位」,meal ticket(饭票)这个说法刚刚好。
安德鲁带着老板玛格丽特回到阿拉斯加老家,家宴上突然宣布两人订婚,全家措手不及。父亲不买账,一句 She's your meal ticket(她是你的饭票)把儿子说成靠女人上位;玛格丽特又被点名讲求婚经过,只好当场现编,说安德鲁早就 itching to(迫不及待想)求婚,只是没胆量开口,还编出他紧张得像一只小鸟的桥段。能拿到三个实用表达:meal ticket 指被人当成饭票、供养者的人;pick up on(察觉到)常用来讲听懂别人的暗示;doting(百般宠爱的)形容宠溺的伴侣或长辈。家宴寒暄、亲友打趣、当面拆台,这几个词都用得上。

This woman's about as subtle as a gun.强忍住眼泪
And he was choking back soft, soft sobs.This woman s about as subtle as a gun这个女人直白得跟一把枪一样,半点不含蓄。 用最不温柔的比喻夸一个人的直接:她的暗示不是暗示,是顶着你脑门的枪。损人又逗笑,一句话把她的性格钉死。
Margaret will you marry me玛格丽特,你愿意嫁给我吗? 在满屋荒唐的铺垫之后,这句问话反而干净得只剩真心;名字先出口,问题才落下,像把整场表演按下暂停。
Can we wait two seconds before we throw the kitchen sink at each other我们能不能先缓两秒,别一见面就把所有狠话都砸向对方? 用厨房水槽这种最重最乱的家当比喻互相投掷的攻击,把家人的积怨写成一幅滑稽又心酸的画。
Why didn t you tell me you were some kind of Alaskan Kennedy你怎么没告诉我,你们家是阿拉斯加版的肯尼迪家族? 用举国皆知的政治豪门来调侃对方的家世,夸张得恰到好处;一句惊叹就把小镇望族的排场和她的震惊全说清了。
指被当成「饭票」的人,也就是能供养自己、给自己带来好处的人。戏里父亲用它讽刺儿子,等于说玛格丽特是他的老板和靠山,他是靠这个女人往上爬。
pick up on。它专门指听出话里的言外之意。台词里 I picked up on all her little hints 就是「她那些小暗示我全都看出来了」,日常聊天和职场沟通都很常用。
「百般宠爱的、溺爱的」。doting fiancé 就是百般宠爱未婚妻的未婚夫。戏里安德鲁自嘲可以装得很宠,用来形容长辈或伴侣都合适。
接动词原形,表示迫不及待地想做某事,比如 itching to ask 就是急着开口问。台词里她形容安德鲁 itching to ask me to marry him,意思是「他一直急着向我求婚」。
安德鲁在纽约给玛格丽特当编辑助理,父亲认定儿子只是靠这个女人往上爬,还说他是 slept his way to the middle(靠上床爬到中层)。这是父子长年积怨,不只是针对玛格丽特。
