SCENE② C 吉娜與戴夫在各自的隔間里工作
【你別跟我婆婆媽媽的】
Zina: I don't make 1) idle threats.
吉娜: 我會(huì)叫,我也會(huì)咬人。
Dave: I guess not.
戴夫: 我想也是。
Zina: I hope you're not turning into a 2) sissy on me, Dave.
吉娜: 我希望你別跟我婆婆媽媽的,戴夫。
Dave: Look, I want to succeed just as much as you do. Well, maybe not quite that much.
戴夫: 聽(tīng)著,我跟你一樣都想要成功。呃,或許達(dá)不到你的水準(zhǔn)。
Zina: If we let Vince and Elvin continue to 3) run things, InfoKing is going to fail.
吉娜: 若我們?cè)偃斡晌乃购桶闹鲗?dǎo)運(yùn)作,“資訊王”肯定失敗。
Dave: What are you trying to say?
戴夫: 你想說(shuō)什么?
Zina: I'm saying this ship needs a new captain. 4) Are you with me, or aren't you?
吉娜: 我是說(shuō)這艘船要一個(gè)新船長(zhǎng)。你是要跟我,還是不跟?
語(yǔ)言詳解
A: Stop it, or you'll be sorry!
夠了,不然你會(huì)后悔的!
B: Stop making idle threats and prove it.
別再只是說(shuō)說(shuō)而已。
【I guess not. 我想也是】
在這段對(duì)話中I guess not.是回應(yīng)上一句否定句,等于說(shuō)明I guess you don't make idle threats.換句話說(shuō),如果上一句沒(méi)有否定not 語(yǔ)詞的話,就派不上用場(chǎng)了。
A: Gina's not going to the party.
吉娜不會(huì)去參加派對(duì)。
B: I guess not.
我想也是。
【turn into a...on someone在……面前表現(xiàn)得……】
當(dāng)你眼前的這個(gè)人,在個(gè)性或是應(yīng)對(duì)反應(yīng)上,突然表現(xiàn)得跟平常完全不一樣,讓你對(duì)這突然的轉(zhuǎn)變感到有些不習(xí)慣,這時(shí)你就可以用這個(gè)句型來(lái)表達(dá)你的想法。
A: Could I treat you to dinner tonight?
我今晚可以請(qǐng)你吃晚飯嗎?
B: Don't go turning into a gentleman on me. I won't know what to do.
你別突然表現(xiàn)得那么紳士。我都不知道該怎么辦了。
1) idle threat 不會(huì)付諸實(shí)現(xiàn)的恐嚇
2) sissy (n.) 娘娘腔
3) run (v) 經(jīng)營(yíng),運(yùn)作
4) Are you with me? “你跟我是同一類嗎?”這句話用來(lái)詢問(wèn)對(duì)方是否跟自己是同一陣線。
