放风、望风
大卫让罗丝进屋去拿东西,自己在外面放风,提防被发现。
Wait. You go in. I'll keep a lookout, okay? Good.We're the Millers · 2013 — 第 14 / 21 章 · 3'31" · B2
半夜有人钻进别人的房车,一个说 Wait. You go in. I'll keep a lookout(等等,你进去,我放风),结果被回来的主人撞个正着。对方不但不生气,还忙着解释 We're no squares(我们不是老古板),说结婚久了总想 spice things up(给生活加点料),甚至说 Same page(同一频道)。这种误会越滚越大时怎么接话,这几句很典型。
这一夜,两个人摸进菲茨杰拉德家的房车,一个进去动手,一个在门口 keep a lookout(放风)。没想到主人夫妇提前回来,当场撞见。尴尬之际,对方却先表态 That's no judgment on you. We're no squares.(这不是在评判你们,我们也不是老古板),还坦白婚姻久了总要 spice things up(给生活加点料),并说 We were picking up what you were putting down(你抛的梗我们接住了),说大家 on the same page(想法一致)。有人于是 take a baby step(先迈一小步),试着配合这场误会,临走还被叮嘱别 give away the farm(把家底全送出去)。

Wait. You go in. I'll keep a lookout, okay? Good.keep a lookout 里 keep 与 a 连读,听起来像 kee-pa,三个词顺滑连成一片。
Wait. You go in. I'll keep a lookout, okay? Good.going the 里 going 的鼻音直接搭上 the,中间不留缝;the 只留轻轻的 /ðə/,重音给 going 和后面的词。
Fuck you. This was your idea. You're going the fuck in there.完全解释得通
This is completely explainable.现在完成时搭配 never before:现在完成时配上 never 和 before,强调从过去到现在一次都没有过;这种说法把越界的尝试说成人生第一次,语气既紧张又郑重。
We have never done anything like this with another couple before.不是在评判你
That's no judgment on you. We're no squares.不是老古板
That's no judgment on you. We're no squares.震动棒、情趣用品——成人话题里的直接说法,熟人之间开玩笑时用;正式场合一般回避或用委婉说法。
- I own a vibrator. - That's right, she does.我的老天(委婉的咒骂)
The darn thing's made in China, for cripes' sake...给生活加点料、增加情趣
菲茨杰拉德夫妇解释,结婚太久就要找点新花样给生活加点料,才提出荒唐的请求。
...but when you've been married this long you look for anything to spice things up.when 引导时间状语从句:when 从句用现在完成时,表示在结婚这么久之后的这段时间里,主句说随之而来的做法;一句话把婚姻倦怠说成必然。
...but when you've been married this long you look for anything to spice things up.spice things up 里 things 的 s 与 up 连读,听起来像 thing-zup,三个词连成一串。
...but when you've been married this long you look for anything to spice things up.提起、说到
Yes. And tonight when you brought up that big black "babymaker"...造娃器(戏称让人怀孕的东西)——玩笑式的粗俗说法,多指情趣用品;只在极熟的人之间用,正式场合不合适。
Yes. And tonight when you brought up that big black "babymaker"...接住了你抛的梗
We were picking up what you were putting down.what 引导宾语从句:what 引导的从句充当 picking up 的宾语,表示对方暗示的那层意思;用过去进行时说明当时正在抛出的暗示,双方心照不宣。
We were picking up what you were putting down.想法一致、同一频道
菲茨杰拉德夫妇表示完全明白米勒夫妇的暗示,说彼此在同一频道上。
Same page. - interesting.没问题
Got it. Totally understood. Not a problem.迈一小步;先试一点点
菲茨杰拉德太太提议今晚先迈出一小步,把越界的尝试说得轻一点。
Okay. Maybe I could take a baby step tonight.could 表婉转提议:could 配上 maybe,把越界的提议说成一个轻描淡写、可以商量的建议;语气越软,越显出说话人自己也在犹豫。
Okay. Maybe I could take a baby step tonight.可以接受
I would be okay with that. Yeah.心砰砰直跳
My heart's pounding so fast in my chest.弄了这么久
Sorry that I'm taking so long.行嘞、好嘞——轻松爽快的答应声,比 okay 更俏皮;朋友之间用,正式场合显得随便。
- This is a miracle. - Okey-doke.把家底全送出去;一下子全让出去
菲茨杰拉德太太觉得今晚到这就够了,用这句话劝自己别一下子把家底全送出去。
- You're right. - Don't give away the farm.give away 里 give 的 v 与 away 连读,听起来像 gi-vaway,中间不断开。
- You're right. - Don't give away the farm.打闹、粗野的嬉戏——指扭打式的玩闹,多形容孩子或玩笑性的身体接触;正式场合用会让人误解。
- A little roughhouse? - We should wait.现在怎么办,天才
Great. What now, genius?...but when you've been married this long you look for anything to spice things up.可结婚这么久,你就得找点什么给生活加点料。 把婚姻的倦怠说得既坦白又体面:不是不爱了,只是需要新花样。用 look for anything 这种中性措辞,把中年关系里的挣扎讲得人人点头。
We were picking up what you were putting down.你抛的梗我们接住了。 用抛和接这一组动作把心照不宣说成一个默契的动作画面,既暧昧又精准。它不点破任何内容,却让对方知道彼此完全懂了。
I mean, my mouth is for my marriage.我是说,我的嘴是留给婚姻的。 用一个荒唐的前提把忠贞说得一本正经,越严肃越好笑。它把底线说成一句宣言,短暂尴尬又让人立刻记住。
That's no judgment on you. We're no squares.这不是在评判你们。我们也不是老古板。 先急着撇清偏见,再补一句自证开放,越解释越显出他们其实也在意别人怎么看。两句否定连在一起,把中产的体面演得很真。
意思是「放风、望风」,指替同伙盯着周围、留意有没有人来。台词里说 You go in. I'll keep a lookout,就是「你进去,我在外面看着」。
意思是「给生活加点料、增加情趣」,spice 本是给菜添味的香料,引申为让平淡的事变得有趣。台词里说婚姻久了要找点事 spice things up。
字面是「在同一页」,实际指「想法一致、步调相同」。台词里对方说 Same page,就是「我们想的一样」,表示彼此心照不宣。
give away the farm,字面是「把农场都送人」,比喻一下子把所有的东西、好处全让出去。台词里有人劝 Don't give away the farm,就是别一开始就全给。
take a baby step,指像婴儿那样先小心翼翼地试一点点,不着急一次到位。台词里说 Maybe I could take a baby step tonight,就是「今晚先试一点点」。
