几个人咬定同一套说法
Well, you're all sticking to the same story.Wrath of Man · 2021 — 第 6 / 13 章 · 3'28" · C1
劫案刚过,福蒂科的头儿把艾尺叫去复盘,一遍遍追问他怎么活下来的。一句 Kill or be killed(不是你死就是我活)冷得像警告;上头转头又说 best interests at heart(出发点是为你好),听着体贴,背后却在算他值不值得留。职场被约谈、要向老板解释自己时,这两句都用得上。
福蒂科押运公司的头儿把艾尺叫去复盘那次劫案,盯着监控一遍遍盘问,想弄清他怎么毫发无伤地活下来,还问他有没有觉得哪里眼熟。艾尺不解释,只丢下一句:你雇我来干活,我干了活。有人用 Kill or be killed(不是你死就是我活)替这种狠劲定调;管理者嘴上说 best interests at heart(出发点是为你好),其实像在审人。等到结论,话锋一转:别罚他,该升他,他正是要找的人。best interests at heart 是「为你好」的客套,常用来软化坏消息;Kill or be killed 讲生死关头只能先下手;by all means 则是「当然可以、请便」。职场复盘、被上司约谈,这几句都派得上用场。

64 句台词里标了 35 处
几个人咬定同一套说法
Well, you're all sticking to the same story.放倒、干掉
What I don't understand is how you managed to take down six men without even so much as a scratch.连点擦伤都没有
What I don't understand is how you managed to take down six men without even so much as a scratch.what 引导的主语从句:What I don t understand is how you managed to take down six men 用 what I don t understand 当主语,is 后面才是真正要问的内容。它先摆出疑问,再抛细节,比直接问更像审问,也更有压迫感。
What I don't understand is how you managed to take down six men without even so much as a scratch.不得不承认
Well, you gotta admit it's impressive.救了同伴一命
He saved his partner's life.明显平平无奇
your training scores were decidedly average.不是你死就是我活
被问到枪战里怎么活下来,他用这四个字概括当时的处境。
Kill or be killed. [EXHALES DEEPLY]让人精神集中
Seemed to focus the mind.还有别的事
All right. [CLEARS THROAT] Well, there's something else.看一眼、看一下
We'd like you to take a look at this video.监控录像
It's the security footage from the raid on the Fortico cash truck before...当然可以、请便
探员对证人表示,如果看不下去可以随时先出去,语气客气而克制。
Step outside, by all means.告诉我们、通知一声
We just want you to let us know if you think there's any connection between this robbery听着耳熟、有印象
探员指着监控画面问,这些人的样子是不是让证人想起什么。
Anything ringing a bell?以后再接着谈
We'll pick this up another day.再联系、保持联络
Yeah, we'll be in touch.好好休息、把精神养回来
Visit the therapist. Rest up.单独说两句
Patrick, can I have a word?that 从句用动词原形:这里的从句直接用动词原形 be 起头,前面不加助动词,说成 be taken off。这种写法常出现在表示建议、要求的动词后面,语气正式,像规章制度,比加情态动词更简洁有力。
The shrinks advise that employees be taken off the front line for a month following violent incidents.心理医生(口语、带点贬义)——shrink 是心理医生或精神科医生的口语叫法,带调侃甚至轻视;当着医生本人或在正式场合说会失礼,日常聊天里很常见。
The shrinks advise that employees be taken off the front line for a month following violent incidents.以防、万一出现
and longer if lives were lost. So we're gonna transfer you to desk duty in case of PTSD.gonna 是 going to 的弱读缩合,两个词并成一个,快速口语里几乎听不出 to。
and longer if lives were lost. So we're gonna transfer you to desk duty in case of PTSD.出发点是为你好
管理层把调岗说成替员工着想,用这句为自己的决定包装。
It's with your best interests at heart.当面、亲自
I wanted to congratulate you for yesterday and to thank you in person.值得记一功
What you did deserves credit.没被埋没、我领情
And that's not wasted on me.剩下半天假
Why don't you take the rest of the day off?day off 里 day 末尾的音和 off 连读,听起来像 day-yoff,中间不断开。
Why don't you take the rest of the day off?前途无量
while Terry and I discuss your promising future.while 引导的时间状语从句:while 表示「在……的同时」,引出一个持续的较长动作,交代主句进行期间还发生的另一件事。这里把要谈的事情顺带说出来,实际作用是让对方先离开一下。
while Terry and I discuss your promising future.在一线、出外勤
Terry, we need that guy in the field.陷在这摊烂事里
If we'd had him last year we wouldn't be in this mess.你听说…了吗
Plus, have you heard the crews talking?don t 的 t 在快读里常被吞掉,只留 don,句末稍作停顿,punish 和 promote 两个实词压重。
So don't punish him, promote him.It s with your best interests at heart这都是为你着想。 一句最体面的安排,也是最难反驳的软钉子。把不利的决定包装成为你好,权力的话术全在这句里。
You hired me to do a job Did a job你雇我就是来干活的。我干完了。 用最朴素的两句把功劳钉死:工作是我干的,评价不该由你随口给。
So don t punish him promote him那就别罚他,升他。 一句话把处理结果敲定:已经证明能打的人,放着不用才是损失。干脆利落,带老板拍板的果断。
He s exactly what we need他正是我们需要的人。 一句肯定把对方的价值说到顶:不是还不错,而是正好补上我们的缺口。推荐人和拍板用人时最好用。
字面是「把你的利益放在心上」,实际是「出发点是为你好」。常用来劝人接受一个不太好的安排,听着体贴,背后可能是替自己打算。
可以说 by all means。有人问能不能坐这儿、能不能先走,回一句 by all means,语气比 sure 更客气,也更正式。
意思是「不是你死就是我活」,形容生死关头没有中间选项,只能先下手。戏里用它解释一个人为什么下手那么狠。
不完全是。日常里说 Does that ring a bell? 是问「听着耳熟吗、有印象吗」,跟响铃无关。想不起某件事时很常用。
先别急着信。这句话常出现在要你接受降薪、调岗、背锅这类场合,是典型的软话。真伪要看后续实际给不给你好处。
