拍卖会上串通抬价:jack up

拍卖会开始前,霍华德凑到古伊身边,低声说 I need you to jack up the bids(我需要你帮忙把竞价抬高)——想让凯文用更高的价买下那块欧泊。古伊当场拒绝:This is not a nice position you put me in(你把我逼到这种处境)。短短几句,把求人做局和被求的人怎么推脱演得明明白白。

发生了什么

拍卖会即将开始,霍华德找到古伊,请他在场上帮忙抬价,好让这块埃塞俄比亚黑欧泊的成交价冲到二十五万。他承诺给古伊两成,还说凯文对这块石头着了迷,一定会买。古伊不情愿,说 This is not a nice position you put me in(你把我逼到这种处境),也抱怨霍华德没提前做估价。正式开拍后,拍卖师用 start the bidding(开始竞价)宣布起价两万,随后一路加价,每次有人反超,他就说 against you(压过你的出价),最后这块石头以十九万被凯文拍下。想学拍卖、砍价、讨价还价里的高频说法,这几句很实用。

省略关系词的从句:position 后面直接跟 you put me in,省略了关系词,把「你把我放进的这个位置」说成一件事,责怪和无奈一起到位。

看懂「拍卖会上串通抬价」

这一章能学到

  • 会用 jack up the bids 表达抬高竞价
  • 听懂 against you 在拍卖中的指向
  • 掌握 fair warning 的最后提醒
  • 分辨礼貌称呼下的强势催价

发音重点

  • jack up — jack up 常连成 /ˈdʒækʌp/,k 直接贴进 up;重音落在 jack 上。
  • get it up — get it up 里两个 t 遇到元音会闪音化,听起来像 ge-di-dup。
  • rest of — rest of 里的 of 常弱化为 /əv/,几乎只留一个尾音;重音落在 rest 上。
This is not a nice position you put me in. I resent this very much.

你把我逼到了一个很为难的处境。我非常介意。 用两句克制的话表达被利用的不快:不骂人,只把处境和感受摆清楚。分寸感本身就是一种拒绝,也是讨价还价的底线。

Well, this is support. This is support like you've never known.

这就是支持。这可是你从没见识过的支持。 把违规抬价硬说成「支持」,重复一句自我定义,就能把黑的说成白的;厚脸皮的话术在这句里登峰造极。

It's no longer yours, sir. It's against you, sir.

现在它已经不属于您了,先生。有人在压过您的出价。 用两句短促的宣告制造紧迫感:不直接催你加价,只告诉你「已经失去」,让不甘心替拍卖行动手。

I have to move this along. We have a good bid at 190,000.

我得把流程往下推进了。现在十九万的出价很不错。 用「我要继续了」来施压,把倒计时摆上桌面;不逼你,只让时间替拍卖行催,这是最典型的一句节奏控制。

关于这一章的问题

jack up the bids 是什么意思?

指把竞价人为抬高。拍卖里有人不想真买、只想帮卖家或把价格顶上目标,就叫 jack up the bids,日常也用来泛指抬价。

「你把我逼到这种处境」英语怎么说?

This is not a nice position you put me in。position 这里指处境、立场,put me in 是把我放到那个位置,用来表达被为难、下不来台。

start the bidding 是什么意思?

拍卖师宣布开始竞价的正式说法,意思是「现在开始出价」。开拍第一口价可以是起拍价,之后由买家一轮轮往上加。

against you 在拍卖里是什么意思?

拍卖师的行话,意思是刚才有人出的价比你高,你的出价被「压过」了。听到这句,说明你要继续就得再加一轮。

「和你的顾问商量一下」英语怎么说?

Confer with your adviser。confer 是商议、商量的正式用词,拍卖师在关键时刻会这么说,给买家一点时间和旁边的人确认出价。
