语法 · B2just because you've heard it a thousand times

连你一半都比不上

Those young guns aren't half the agent you are, those crumb-bums.
语法 · C1aren't half the agent you are

not half 表程度:not half 后面直接接比较对象,表示远远比不上,语气比普通的否定比较更重;用在夸人时,反而把贬低他人和抬高对方一次说完。

Those young guns aren't half the agent you are, those crumb-bums.
俚语 · C1crumb-bums

饭桶、没用的家伙——贬低一群人的老派说法,带轻蔑和火气;熟人抱怨时用,正式场合不合适。

Those young guns aren't half the agent you are, those crumb-bums.

take a dump 里 take 的 k 只做口型不送气,a 轻得几乎滑过去;重音压在 dump 上,前面快速收住。

自己的份自己扛;各尽其责

菲茨杰拉德要帮忙搬行李,大卫婉拒,说米勒一家自己的东西自己扛。

That's okay. Millers carry their own weight.
语法 · B1Millers carry their own weight

一般现在时表一贯事实:用一般现在时说一件向来如此的事,把一次拒绝上升成家规;这种时态让语气显得笃定,也把临时推辞说成原则问题。

That's okay. Millers carry their own weight.
发音their own weight

their own weight 里 their 与 own 连读,听起来像 their-rown,再滑到 weight。

That's okay. Millers carry their own weight.
俚语 · B1a hoot

很好玩、很有趣——夸某人或某事逗趣的轻松说法;多用于朋友之间,正式场合显得随便。

看懂「抛锚后与缉毒警同营」

发音重点

  • out of nowhere — out of nowhere 里 out 的 t 和 of 常连成 /aʊdəv/,两个词粘成一个块;nowhere 的重音压足,句尾略收。
  • at the moment — at the moment 里 at 与 the 连读,听起来像 a-the moment,三个词顺滑连成一片。
  • take a dump — take a dump 里 take 的 k 只做口型不送气,a 轻得几乎滑过去;重音压在 dump 上,前面快速收住。
  • their own weight — their own weight 里 their 与 own 连读,听起来像 their-rown,再滑到 weight。
On a bit of a hiatus at the moment.

眼下暂时歇业一阵。 用最体面的词把被撤职说成主动休假,几个字就把难堪藏了起来。越是轻描淡写,越让人听出背后的失意,是成年人掩饰失败的标准句式。

I mean, from that moment, we hated each other.

我是说,从那一刻起,我们互相讨厌。 用 from that moment 把一段关系的起点钉死在一个瞬间,句子短得像判决,却完整交代了两个人的全部前史。平静里全是重量。

If you're into that kind of mean, pretty thing.

如果你吃她那种又凶又好看的类型的话。 把喜欢的人说成 mean, pretty thing,用两个形容词就把爱慕和自知之明并排放好。像自嘲,又像坦白,是那种只有当事人自己懂的评价。

That's okay. Millers carry their own weight.

没事。米勒一家自己的份自己扛。 把一次拒绝说成一条家规,用现在时把临时推辞升格成原则。听起来有骨气,也悄悄把假家庭演得更像真的。

关于这一章的问题

a bit of a hiatus 是什么意思?

指「暂时歇一歇、短暂停摆」,hiatus 就是中断、休整期。台词里说自己眼下 on a bit of a hiatus,其实是委婉说自己被撤职了。

carry one's own weight 是什么意思?

指「自己的份自己扛、各尽其责」,强调不给别人添负担。台词里说 Millers carry their own weight,是摆出独立能干的样子。

a tug of war 是什么意思?

字面是「拔河」,引申为双方来回拉扯的「拉锯战」。台词里用它形容两个人抢一幅画的场面。

「显得像、给人这种印象」英语怎么说?

come off like,后面接从句或名词,比如不想 come off like I'm hitting on her(显得像在搭讪)。说某句话、某个举动给人什么印象时很好用。

a screaming match 是什么意思?

指「大吵一架、互相吼叫」的场面,比 argument 更激烈。台词里两人为了一幅画在楼前对骂,就是一场 screaming match。
