商量给她一条出路:a pillar of the community

两人在训练场边商量麻烦事:对方要来把老人接走,一个说不能硬碰——她是「一塌糊涂」,你是 a pillar of the community(社区顶梁柱),上法庭只会很难看;另一个干脆提议 just give her an exit(给她条出路),掏点钱把人打发走。谈条件、处理麻烦时,这些说法都能借来用。

发生了什么

这是《双赢》里两个朋友在场边商量对策的一场戏。对方扬言要把老人利奥接回去,一个说自己刚在他面前败过,没法再站到李法官面前,那会很难看;再说她根本靠不住,你却是社区里的体面人,硬打官司只会两败俱伤。另一个直接点破:她就是冲着一笔钱来的,不如给她条出路——从老人的钱里拨一点,把她打发回家。少年后来还跑来质问,只得到「这事我来处理」的答复。语言上,a pillar of the community(社区顶梁柱)形容德高望重的人,give her an exit(给她条出路)指让对方体面收场,deal with it(我来摆平)是接手难题时的常用句。

Why don't you 提建议:用否定的疑问句形式给出建议,语气比直接命令柔和很多,等于说不如你去吧;这里让凯尔先去训练,把事情交给自己。

  • 见到 give a shit 知道是在乎

发音重点

  • give her back — give her back 里 give 和 her 连读,her 的 h 很轻,读起来像 give-er back。
  • deal with it — deal with it 里 with 和 it 连读,听起来像 wi-dit,中间不断开。
  • Stay focused — Stay focused 里 Stay 的尾音和 focused 的 f 相接,读得很紧,几乎连成一个词。

She doesn't give a shit about him. You can't let her do that.

她根本不在乎他。你不能让她这么干。 一句粗话点破动机,再用请求把立场摆明。

What do you mean? She's a mess. You're a pillar of the community.

什么意思?她一塌糊涂。你可是社区里的体面人。 两个极端身份摆上天平,一句话完成利弊分析。

It sucks, but you got your business to worry about.

是挺糟,可你还得顾你的生意。 先承认对方处境,再把他拉回更现实的责任。

I just can't go back in front of Judge Lee. It'll look very bad. Trust me.

我没法再站到李法官面前。那会很难看。信我。 把不愿打官司的理由落在面子上,最后用信我收尾。

关于这一章的问题

a pillar of the community 是什么意思?

字面是「社区的柱子」,形容一个人在镇上德高望重、为人正派、大家信任。台词里用它对比「她一塌糊涂」,暗示对方越闹越显得自己占理。

「给她条出路」英语怎么说?

说 give her an exit,意思是让对方体面收场、有个台阶下。台词里就是掏点钱把她打发走。谈分手、谈判、劝退时都能用。

「我来摆平」用英语怎么讲?

说 deal with it,表示这事我来处理、你不用担心。台词里大人让孩子先去训练,说 I'll deal with it,就是「这事我来摆平」。

payout 是指什么?

指一大笔到手的钱,常带「好处费、赔偿金」的意味。台词里说她就是冲着一笔 payout 来的,等于说对方上门要钱。

少年为什么冲过来质问?

他听说对方要把老人利奥接走,觉得对方根本不在乎老人,于是跑来问「你不会让她这么干吧」。得到的回答是这事很复杂、由大人来处理。
