录音揭开弥天大谎:make money off

凯尔把利奥偷偷接回迈克家,两人一进门就撞见,屋里瞬间炸锅,一句 Are you out of your mind(你疯了吗)直接把火点起来。等录音一放,质问更狠:How you lied to me(你怎么骗我的)。想学家门口吵架、当面拆穿谎言的英语,这几句最解气。

发生了什么

凯尔没打招呼就把利奥从橡树丘接回迈克家,两人赶回一看当场懵了,一句 Are you out of your mind(你疯了吗)脱口而出。随后翻出一段录音,里面是迈克对法官说的话:利奥想住家里,他满口答应。谎言被当面读出来,质问一句接一句,从 How you lied to me(你怎么骗我的)到 Really? Or you just didn't think you'd get caught(还是只是没想到会被拆穿);迈克最后承认,理由竟是太费事和需要那笔钱。make money off 是「靠……赚钱、从人身上牟利」;out of your mind 是「疯了吗」;break it up 是「把架拉开」。想学家门口吵架、当场揭穿谎言的英语,这段很值得反复听。

看懂「录音揭开弥天大谎」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 worried sick 说担心死了
  • 见到 egg someone on 知道是拱火
  • 会用 make money off 指责靠人赚钱
  • 听懂 get caught 是被拆穿
  • 掌握 out of your mind 说你疯了

发音重点

  • out of your mind — out of 常连成 /aʊdəv/,your 弱化为 /jər/;of 和 your 之间不留缝,语气不停。
  • Just saying — Just 的 /t/ 在 saying 前吞掉,几乎不停顿;把 Just 收短,直接接上 saying 的 /s/。
  • hold on a second — hold on a second 里 hold 和 on 连读,on 和 a 也连上,整串很顺。
  • Calm down — Calm down 里 Calm 的 m 和 down 的 d 相接,读得很紧,几乎连成一个词。
Because it would have been too much work to leave him here.

因为让他留在这儿太费事了。 把自己做错的事归结为怕麻烦,坦白得近乎残忍。整部电影的道德问题,最后被压缩成一句最日常的偷懒理由。

Then you shouldn't have taken him. I had to do it, all right?

那你就不该接手。我当时必须这么做,行了吧? 一边被指责,一边用必须替自己开脱,行了吧三个字把心虚暴露无遗。人在理亏时最爱用这种半强硬的收尾。

So you took some old man out of his home to make money off him?

所以你把一个老头从家里带走,就为了靠他赚钱? 用最朴素的复述把对方的所作所为说一遍,不做任何评判,却比任何指责都重。真相一旦被完整说出来,就无法再辩解。

Really? Or you just didn't think you'd get caught?

是吗?还是你只是没想到会被拆穿? 用一个或者把对方的辩解翻个面,问题从是否料到会复杂,变成是否料到会败露。最后一句把所有的自我开脱都逼回原形。

关于这一章的问题

out of your mind 是什么意思?

「你疯了吗」,用来表达觉得对方的做法离谱、不可理喻。语气很冲,熟人之间吵架、家人争执时常听见,正式场合慎用。

「靠……赚钱」英语怎么说?

make money off someone,指从某人身上牟利。带贬义,指责别人拿他人当摇钱树时最常用。

egg him on 是什么意思?

「怂恿他、拱他的火」,指在旁边鼓动别人继续闹。常见的劝阻就是 Don't egg him on,意思是别再加火了。

break it up 怎么用?

指把打架或争吵的人拉开、让冲突散开。看到两人要打起来,喊 Break it up! 就是「拉开他们」。

get caught 和「被拆穿」有什么关系?

get caught 是「被抓住」,用来说谎或做坏事被拆穿也很贴切。Or you just didn't think you'd get caught 就是「还是没想过会被拆穿」。
