从什么时候起(带惊讶或质疑)
Since when are you back?The Shop Around the Corner · 1940 — 第 17 / 19 章 · 3'46" · B2
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。
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。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
if you don't know, who shouldI didn't mean itno Christmas is complete without a bonusfrom the bottom of my heart
本章短语
发自内心地、由衷地with the deepest sincerity
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。
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for standing by us.谢谢你一直站在我们这边,我打心底感激。
连你都不知道,那还有谁知道
不是真心的、别当真
没有某样东西,这个节日就不算圆满

从什么时候起(带惊讶或质疑)
Since 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?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.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.毕竟、说到底
But after all, it's Christmas Eve.离开、不靠近
I couldn't stay away any longer.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?康复、好起来
And they expect me to get well?差得远、没法比
Well, they're pretty busy, but no comparison with this.悠着点、别着急
Now Mr. Matuschek, take it easy. Don't overdo.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.过来、顺道来
I just came around to find out if the shop was still here.弄清楚、查明
I just came around to find out if the shop was still here.也祝你一样
Same to you.想要、会喜欢
Do you think Eric would like that briefcase?不太确定
I don't know. I'm not so sure.对不起、失陪一下
Oh, uh, pardon me, ladies, I-I can't see very well without my glasses.能告诉我……吗
Could you tell me the price on that briefcase?想知道……是怎么做到的
I wonder how Matuschek and Company can do it.这个多少钱
Well, how much is it?感到非常自豪
You-you should be very proud.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.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.深受感动
Well, this morning when I received the little Christmas tree that you all sent me I was deeply moved.一遍又一遍
I-I read your little note over and over.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.大半辈子
This is where I spent most of my life.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.骂过你、说过难听话
You know that I've called you names on several occasions.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.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.就保持原样
We'll leave the shop just as it is till after the holiday.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.过个快乐的圣诞节
I-I want you all to go home now and have a very Merry Christmas.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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
