装作很忙
Jesus Christ, at least try to look busy, Shirley.Wrath of Man · 2021 — 第 3 / 13 章 · 4'19" · B2
H 第一天上运钞车,同事一路带他熟悉线路,说这份工得慢慢 dial in(上手),跑线还会撞上难缠的人和 hostile territory(充满敌意的地盘),偶尔一句 What has the world come to(这世道都成什么样了)就道尽这行的无奈。想学带新人和吐槽危险工作的说法,这几句都用得上。
H 第一天上运钞车,老同事一路带他熟悉流程,说这份活得慢慢上手,一句 It'll take you a while to dial in(要慢慢上手)给他打预防针。对方还抛出 Do you have any idea how dangerous this job can be(你知道这活能有多危险吗),把风险挑明。大家给这份工的自嘲是 We ain't the predators, we're the prey(我们不是猎手,是猎物)——被人盯上的永远是押运员。中间还穿插跑线时的闲聊,说到最难搞的人和地盘,用 hostile territory(充满敌意的地盘)形容。想学怎么带新人、怎么自嘲一份危险工作,这些说法都能直接搬。

装作很忙
Jesus Christ, at least try to look busy, Shirley.英国佬(俚语,带贬义)——Limey 是美国人给英国人起的外号,源自水手吃青柠,带戏谑甚至轻蔑;只适合熟人开玩笑,正式场合或对英国同事说会冒犯。
Just tell me it ain't the Limey.不是、没有(非标准缩合)——ain t 是 am not、is not、are not、has not 的口语合并,街头、蓝领对白里很常见;写作、面试、正式场合都要换成标准形式。
Just tell me it ain't the Limey.别在我跟前碍事
Thank you, Stuart. You got it. Bullet, stay out from under my feet and we'll get along just fine.相处得很好
Thank you, Stuart. You got it. Bullet, stay out from under my feet and we'll get along just fine.get along 里 get 末尾的 t 夹在两个元音之间,弹成轻快的 d,连成 ge-dalong。
Thank you, Stuart. You got it. Bullet, stay out from under my feet and we'll get along just fine.有一点概念、知道多少
Do you have any idea how dangerous this job can be?how 引导的宾语从句:Do you have any idea how dangerous this job can be 里 how 引导一个从句,当 idea 的内容。how 后面直接接形容词再跟主语,不用 that,也不用把语序倒过来,是英语里提反问、加强语气的常用框架。
Do you have any idea how dangerous this job can be?被猎取的一方、猎物
We ain't the predators, we're the prey.ain t 把 am not、is not 的音都吞掉了,只剩 ain 加轻收的 t,听起来很快,别按完整形式去拆。
We ain't the predators, we're the prey.就在那下面
Did you hear about the guards that were murdered? You know it happened right down there.别接话、别跟他纠缠
Don't engage. He'll forget what he said in a moment.一会儿、片刻之间
Don't engage. He'll forget what he said in a moment.本来轮到我开车
is that I was meant to be driving the truck that day.be meant to be doing 结构:I was meant to be driving 用 be meant to 加进行时,表示按安排本来该由我开车,但事实没发生。这种说法把「本该」和「实际没做」压在一起,常带遗憾或辩解的味道。
is that I was meant to be driving the truck that day.我最不想碰上的事
戴夫讲自己那天本该开车,偏巧病倒,事后最不想碰上的就是联邦探员找上门盘问。
And the last thing I needed was the Feds in my face堵到面前来、紧逼着
And the last thing I needed was the Feds in my facethe last thing 强调结构:the last thing I needed was the Feds in my face 用 the last thing 把最不想发生的事推到 was 前面,先说「我最不需要什么」,再说具体是什么。语序比直接说 I did not need 更重,强调当时多倒霉。
And the last thing I needed was the Feds in my face联邦探员、联邦调查局(口语)——the Feds 是口语里对联邦执法人员的统称,带一点忌惮或调侃;新闻和正式文书里要改用规范说法。
And the last thing I needed was the Feds in my face弄明白、判断出
trying to make out if I was involved somehow.站得住脚的不在场证明
Lucky you had a strong alibi.对…留个心眼
Just be wary of Hot Betty.记号就在这里、目标处已标出
押运员把车停到金库门口,用这句老话告诉同伴就是这儿。
X marks the spot.每次都幸会
Godfrey. As always, a pleasure.能想象出画面
I can picture it now.四处找、搜寻
stalking down the aisles, hunting for Pop Tarts.不是我的那口、不合我口味
Pop Tarts are not really my poison, Bullet.沉浸其中、迷失在
I prefer to lose myself in the dizzy food coma of synthetic cheese and impossible meats.这世道都成什么样了
What has the world come to?充满敌意的地盘
同事打趣地问新人,去收银台那片区域有没有活着挺过来。
Did he survive the hostile territory of Hot Betty and the menopausal MILFs?回话、报告情况
Base, this is Gamma reporting back.收到、明白
Copy that, Gamma.慢慢上手、把状态调准
老同事对新人说,熟悉这行的节奏需要一点时间,慢慢就调准了。
It'll take you a while to dial in.It'll 是 it will 的压缩,t 几乎吞掉只留轻微气流,两个词并成一个音节 /ɪtl/,顺入 take。
It'll take you a while to dial in.We ain t the predators we re the prey我们不是猎手,我们是猎物。 一句话把这份工作的性质翻了个面:看着端着枪很威风,其实随时可能被人盯上。认清自己的位置,比自我打气有用。
What has the world come to这世道都成什么样了。 面对荒谬现状时的一声感叹:不是骂谁,而是对风气整体下沉的无奈。任何年代都能用,也永远不过时。
I don t care what you guys think我才不管你们几个怎么想。 把耳根子硬说成一句立场:决定由我做,评价随你们。短,但边界划得干净。
Do you have any idea how dangerous this job can be你知不知道这活儿能有多危险? 用一句反问把危险先砸到对方脸上:不是介绍工作,而是先问你有没有底。句子完整,换个对象就能复用。
字面是「X 标出了地点」,来自寻宝地图的经典说法,现在用来指「目标位置就在这儿、记号已标好」。
可以说 dial in。It'll take you a while to dial in 就是「你得花点时间才能上手、把状态调准」。
字面是「充满敌意的地盘」,日常也用来夸张地说某个地方难待、不好惹,比如一群不好对付的人聚在一起。
意思是「我最不想碰上的事」,常带抱怨语气。the last thing I needed was the Feds in my face 就是「我最不想被联邦探员堵上门」。
常见,predator 和 prey 是一对,「猎手」对「猎物」。说 we're the prey 就是自嘲处在被猎取、被盯上的弱势一方。
