老板平安夜回店发奖金:from the bottom of my heart

平安夜,病了半个多月的老板突然回到店里,先问生意,再谢大家送的圣诞树,最后挨个发奖金。他一句 from the bottom of my heart(发自内心地)谢过所有人,又用 I didn't mean it(那些话不是真心的)道歉。想在职场上把感谢说真诚、把道歉说清楚,这两句直接用。

发生了什么

平安夜,病了半个多月的老板马图切克突然回到店里。他先问生意怎么样,又谢大家寄来的圣诞树和小纸条,最后挨个发奖金,还跟每个人说上一句。戏里围着道谢和奖金转:一句 from the bottom of my heart(发自内心地)把感谢说到最重;一句 I didn't mean it(不是真心的)替过去骂过人的话道歉;还有一句半开玩笑的反问 if you don't know, who should(连你都不知道,那还有谁知道)。年终感谢同事、为说过的话赔不是,或者接住别人的夸奖,这几句都能直接搬用。

本章全部批注

67 句台词里标了 34 处

短语 · B2since when ...

从什么时候起(带惊讶或质疑)

Since when are you back?
发音when are you back

when are you back 连读时 when 末尾的音接上 are,are 又弱读,听起来像 we-nə-you back,三个词几乎连成一串。

Since when are you back?
短语 · B1be supposed to be

按理(说)是

Oh, I'm not here, I'm supposed to be a pretty sick man that's what my doctor tells me.
语法 · B2I'm supposed to be a pretty sick man

be supposed to 表名义上如此:这个结构说的是按外界的说法或安排,一个人理应处在某种状态。这里他半开玩笑地强调自己名义上还是个病人,好解释为什么突然跑回店里。它和表示强制的情态动词不同,不强调说话人自己的意愿,而是别人给的定位。

Oh, I'm not here, I'm supposed to be a pretty sick man that's what my doctor tells me.
短语 · B1after all

毕竟、说到底

But after all, it's Christmas Eve.
短语 · B1stay away from something

离开、不靠近

I couldn't stay away any longer.
语法 · B2without seeing a single customer

介词加动名词表否定伴随:介词后面要接名词性的成分,所以动词变成动名词形式。这里说整整两个多星期没见到一个顾客,把抱怨说成一句事实交代。它比另起一个否定从句更紧凑,也把缺了什么这件事放在了句子的重点上。

Can you imagine me, over two weeks in the hospital without seeing a single customer?
短语 · A2get well

康复、好起来

And they expect me to get well?
短语 · B2be no comparison with something

差得远、没法比

Well, they're pretty busy, but no comparison with this.
短语 · A2take it easy

悠着点、别着急

Now Mr. Matuschek, take it easy. Don't overdo.
发音take it easy

take it easy 连读时 take 末尾的音接上 it,it 又滑向 easy,听起来像 ta-ki-teasy,中间不停顿。

Now Mr. Matuschek, take it easy. Don't overdo.
短语 · B1come around

过来、顺道来

I just came around to find out if the shop was still here.
短语 · B1find out

弄清楚、查明

I just came around to find out if the shop was still here.
短语 · A2same to you

也祝你一样

Same to you.
短语 · A2would like something

想要、会喜欢

Do you think Eric would like that briefcase?
短语 · B1not so sure

不太确定

I don't know. I'm not so sure.
短语 · A2pardon me

对不起、失陪一下

Oh, uh, pardon me, ladies, I-I can't see very well without my glasses.
短语 · A2could you tell me ...

能告诉我……吗

Could you tell me the price on that briefcase?
短语 · B1wonder how ...

想知道……是怎么做到的

I wonder how Matuschek and Company can do it.
短语 · A1how much is it

这个多少钱

Well, how much is it?
短语 · B1be proud of something

感到非常自豪

You-you should be very proud.
短语 · B2from the bottom of one's heart

发自内心地、由衷地

马图谢克在圣诞前夜回到店里,看到当天做出了大生意,转身对克拉利克和皮罗维奇说 from the bottom of my heart,由衷感谢他们像最好的医生一样把他从病里拉了回来。

And I, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
发音bottom of my heart

bottom of my heart 连读时 bottom 末尾的音接上 of,of 又弱读得快听不见,听起来像 bo-tə-my heart。

And I, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
短语 · B2be deeply moved

深受感动

Well, this morning when I received the little Christmas tree that you all sent me I was deeply moved.
短语 · B1over and over

一遍又一遍

I-I read your little note over and over.
语法 · B2it made me very happy that you missed me

使役结构加从句表原因:先说出事情,再点明它让谁有什么感受,最后用一个从句补出是什么让你这样。这里老板收到小圣诞树后,把感动归因于大家想他、盼他回来。这个结构把情绪和原因拆得清清楚楚,比只说自己高兴更郑重。

And it made me very happy that you missed me and hoped that I'd be coming back home soon again.
短语 · B1most of one's life

大半辈子

This is where I spent most of my life.
短语 · B2no ... is complete without ...

没有某样东西,这个节日就不算圆满

马图谢克在平安夜给全店发奖金前,先卖个关子,说 no Christmas is complete without a bonus(没有奖金,圣诞节就不算完整)。

Well, now, no Christmas is complete without a bonus.
短语 · B2call someone names

骂过你、说过难听话

You know that I've called you names on several occasions.
短语 · B1not mean it

不是真心的、别当真

马图谢克发奖金给皮罗维奇时,把从前骂过他的那些话一笔带过:等你看到钱,就会明白 I didn't mean it(我不是真心的)。

Well, when you see the bonus, you'll realize that I didn't mean it.
俚语 · B1Good boy

好孩子、乖(对小辈或孩子的赞许)——这个说法是长辈或地位高的人夸小孩、小辈听话时用的,语气亲昵。用在平辈或成年人身上会显得居高临下,像在哄孩子,容易让人不快;正式场合或对陌生人也不合适。

- Oh, well, Rudy. - Good boy.
短语 · B2leave something just as it is

就保持原样

We'll leave the shop just as it is till after the holiday.
发音just as it is

just as it is 说得快时 just 末尾的音几乎被吞掉,as 和 it 又缩在一起,听起来像 jus-ə-iz,四个词只剩一串轻音。

We'll leave the shop just as it is till after the holiday.
短语 · A2have a Merry Christmas

过个快乐的圣诞节

I-I want you all to go home now and have a very Merry Christmas.

看懂「老板平安夜回店发奖金」

这一章能学到

  • from the bottom of my heart 表达感谢
  • 用 take it easy 劝人别太勉强
  • 分清 get well 与回家表达
  • 听懂 called you names 指说难听话

发音重点

  • when are you back — when are you back 连读时 when 末尾的音接上 are,are 又弱读,听起来像 we-nə-you back,三个词几乎连成一串。
  • take it easy — take it easy 连读时 take 末尾的音接上 it,it 又滑向 easy,听起来像 ta-ki-teasy,中间不停顿。
  • bottom of my heart — bottom of my heart 连读时 bottom 末尾的音接上 of,of 又弱读得快听不见,听起来像 bo-tə-my heart。
  • just as it is — just as it is 说得快时 just 末尾的音几乎被吞掉,as 和 it 又缩在一起,听起来像 jus-ə-iz,四个词只剩一串轻音。
Well, if you don't know, Mr. Matuschek, who should?

您要是都不知道,马图谢克先生,那还有谁知道? 一句客气的反问,把对方的小把戏点破:装成顾客夸自家店好,偏偏忘了自己就是老板。表面抬举,实则拆穿,这种绵里藏针的机锋正是老式喜剧的味道。

This is where I spent most of my life.

我大半辈子都是在这里度过的。 把小店说成自己一生的落脚处,没有一句煽情,却把归属感说透了。它可以用在任何让人舍不得离开的地方,越平实越动人。

Well, when you see the bonus, you'll realize that I didn't mean it.

等你看到奖金,就会明白我那些话不是真心的。 把一句本该真诚的道歉,变成一笔明码标价的交易:骂过你不算数,钱能证明。客气里裹着算盘,越轻松越刻薄,是难得一见又极其好用的反讽句式。

I just came around to find out if the shop was still here.

我就是过来看看这家店还在不在。 嘴上说得轻描淡写,其实透出一个人对亲手打理的地方的牵挂。它把「舍不得」藏进一句好像无关紧要的借口里,可说得越随便,思念越藏不住。

关于这一章的问题

from the bottom of my heart 是什么意思?

就是「发自内心地、由衷地」。它是固定搭配,放在 thank you 后面最常见,也可以说 I mean it from the bottom of my heart,用来说明感谢或道歉都是真心实意,比单说 thank you 重得多。

「连你都不知道,那还有谁知道」英语怎么说?

可以说 if you don't know, who should。它多用在恭维对方是内行的场合:事情只有他最清楚,于是一句反问把高帽戴上去,口气里还带着点玩笑。

I didn't mean it 用在什么场合?

它表示「不是真心的、别当真」,常用来为一时冲动的气话或难听话收场。对方还在气头上时,先认错再补这句,比直接说 sorry 更能讲清你当时只是气话。

no Christmas is complete without a bonus 是什么意思?

字面是「没有奖金,圣诞节就不算圆满」。它套用「没有某样东西,节日就不算圆满」的句式,绕个弯把发奖金说成节日传统,职场里宣布发奖金时用,既自然又讨喜。

「不是真心的」还能怎么说?

也可以说 I was just kidding,或者 I didn't mean to hurt you。想郑重一点,就用「发自内心」反过来强调:I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart。
