拉舞娘假扮夫妻:a huge red flag

大卫想拉人假扮家人混过边境:一句 But families, they don't get a second look(一家人过境根本没人多看一眼)是他的理由,还放话 I'm renting you(我是把你租来用)。对方不吃这套,问 What's in it for me(我能得到什么好处);他开出的价码是 a roof over your head(有个住处)。想学谈判、放话和抬价,这一场很带劲。

发生了什么

街头先是有人迷路、有人被开罚单,乱成一团。转头场景来到脱衣舞俱乐部:大卫要找个人假扮老婆,好让一家人过境时不 huge red flag(那么可疑),因为 But families, they don't get a second look(一家人根本没人多看一眼)。他找上罗丝,开出 a roof over your head(有个住处)加管饭的条件;对方不吃这套,问 What's in it for me(我能得到什么好处),听他说要自己当老婆,直接骂 the dumbest thing I've ever heard(最蠢的事),还警告 You can't buy me(你买不到我)——他却回 I'm not buying you(不是买)、I'm renting you(是租)。另一边,老板托德想让舞娘卖身,有人一句 I quit(我不干了)甩手走人。想学谈判、拒绝和吐槽的说法,这些句子都能用。

看懂「拉舞娘假扮夫妻」

发音重点

  • which way is up — which way is up 里 way 和 is 连读,听起来像 way-yis,再顺势滑到 up。
  • get naked — get naked 里 get 的 t 变成轻快的闪音搭到 n 上;naked 重音在头部,get 短促、几乎不占时长。
  • go to Mexico — go to Mexico 里 to 常弱化为 /tə/,快得几乎听不见;三个词连成一口气,重音落在 Mexico 的第二个音节。
  • roof over your head — roof over your head 里 roof 的 f 与 over 连读,听起来像 roo-fover,中间不断开。
It's my fault. When it comes to reading maps, I sure can be an old flibbertigibbet.

都怪我。一说到看地图,我这人就迷糊得不行。 先用一句认错把责任揽下,再用一个生僻又滑稽的旧词 flibbertigibbet 形容自己,把迷路说成天生缺陷。装傻装得越文雅越好笑。

But families, they don't get a second look.

可家庭过境,根本没人多看一眼。 把身份伪装说成一种统计学上的优势:只要凑成一家人,检查的人就会自动放过。一句冷静的观察,点破规则如何被外表的正常骗过。

I'm not buying you, all right? I'm renting you.

我不是买你,好吗?我是租你。 用买和租两个词的替换,把羞辱包装成一场明码标价的生意。改口改得理直气壮,反而更显出他根本不打算把对方当人看。

Are you kidding? You and me alone in a van? It'll look like the pervert Olympics.

你逗我呢?就你我俩关一辆面包车里?那看起来像变态奥运会。 用两个反问和一个荒谬的比喻把方案否定掉,pervert Olympics 把最坏的联想说成一场比赛,画面感极强,也让拒绝显得无可辩驳。

关于这一章的问题

red flag 是什么意思?

字面是「红旗」,比喻明显的危险信号、一看就不对劲。台词里说一个人单独过境就是 red flag,容易被盯上,所以他要拉个「家人」。

「有个遮风挡雨的地方」英语怎么说?

a roof over your head,字面是「头顶有个屋顶」,指有个住处、不用露宿。台词里用它当招揽对方的条件。

What's in it for me 是什么意思?

意思是「我能得到什么好处」,谈合作或讨价还价时先问这句。台词里用它问对方开出的条件。

When it comes to 怎么用?

意思是「说到、在……方面」,后面接名词或动名词。台词里说 When it comes to reading maps,就是「说到看地图」。

「变态奥运会」这种比喻是什么梗?

台词里 the pervert Olympics 是自嘲式夸张,把两个男人同车旅行说成像一场变态比赛,既不体面又好笑。
