Wrath of Man · 2021 — 第 11 / 13 章 · 5'53" · B2

聚餐桌上兜售大劫案:comes at a price

一伙人在桌上兜售一票大活,嫌抢运钞车太小,要干就干更大的:成了这辈子都不用再干活。有人泼冷水 comes at a price(要付出代价),头儿则冷脸甩下一句 a seat at this table(在这张桌上还有一席之地),提醒他别得寸进尺。想学劝人赌一把、又给人下马威的口气,这段很值得看。

发生了什么

一伙老搭档凑到一张桌上,扬抛出一票大活:这回 We're not hitting a cash truck(不去抢运钞车),目标是更大的东西。他先给甜头,说成了 we'll never have to work again(这辈子都不用再干活),再抬出道理 the bigger the reward the bigger the risk(回报越大,风险越大)。有人回一句 We've been through worse(更糟的都经历过),可也有人提醒 Everything comes at a price(凡事都要付出代价)。头儿不客气:You're lucky you still got a seat at this table(你还有一席之地就偷着乐吧),又说全靠 our guy doesn't come through(内应靠不住就白搭)。come through 指靠得住、按约办成;a tight spot 是进退两难的处境;a seat at this table 是在这桌上有位置。想学怎么劝人赌一把或给人下马威,这段很够用。

语法 · C1the bigger the reward

越…越…结构:the bigger the reward the bigger the risk 用两个 the 加形容词比较级,前一个带出条件,后一个带出结果,表示「越……就越……」。两个分句平行推进,常见于谈风险、成本和回报。

But why do I get the feeling your money's never been safer, Mr. Rossi?

看懂「聚餐桌上兜售大劫案」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 Now we re talkin 表认可
  • 见到 inside man 知道是内应
  • 能听懂 the downside 在问风险
  • 会用 I m in 表示入伙

发音重点

  • We re — We re 里 we 和 r 连成一个音节,读起来像 wir,不要拆成两个音。
  • get out — get 的 t 落在两个元音中间,快速弹成轻 d,常连成 ge-dout,g 和 e 不要拆开。
  • Gotta — Gotta 是 got to 的弱读缩合,两个词压成一个,快读时几乎没有停顿。
We re not hitting a cash truck

我们不是去抢一辆运钞车。 一句否定把目标抬高:连运钞车都不够格,暗示要做一票更大的。

the bigger the reward the bigger the risk

回报越大,风险越大。 两个「越大」平行摆开,把风险与回报的秤说透。不是吓唬,是让人自己掂量值不值。

we ll never have to work again

我们再也不用工作了。 用一句轻描淡写的承诺,把一场重案说成了退休计划。

We ve been through worse

我们经历过更糟的。 用一句平话把眼前的难关降级:不是不严重,是以前更惨都扛过来了。安慰、壮胆、压场子都好用。

关于这一章的问题

come through 是什么意思?

意思是「靠得住、按约办成」。计划再周密,也得有人真的做到才行,所以戏里说 all this is for nothing if our guy doesn't come through(内应靠不住就全白搭)。

「回报越大,风险越大」英语怎么说?

可以说 the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward,也可以把顺序倒过来说 the bigger the reward, the bigger the risk。劝人冒险或提醒谨慎时都好用。

a tight spot 是什么意思?

指「进退两难的处境」,也就是被逼到很棘手的位置。戏里说 You put us in a tight spot,就是怪对方把大家拖进了麻烦里。

a seat at this table 是字面意思吗?

不完全是。它是比喻「在这张桌上还有一席之地」,指还有资格参与、分得一份。戏里是头儿提醒对方别忘了自己是谁、还能留下就该知足。

comes at a price 怎么用?

意思是「要付出代价」。想要好结果,就得接受相应的风险或牺牲,常用来说机会、成功、自由这些抽象的东西,比如 Everything comes at a price。
