Ammer: No, Linda, I think Stacy gets the most-beautiful-feet award.

Michael: You wanted to see me?

Ammer: Michael. Look, I'm heading out to the Hamptons in a couple of minutes. I'm counting on you. This hotel project? It's a big fish. You reel it in for me and it's Howdy, partner.

Michael: Okay. Thank you.

Ammer: Screw it up, though, and it's Back to the mailroom, atrium boy.

Woman: Mr. Ammer, Denise just called. She's gotta go to rehab again, so she can't make it to the Hamptons.

Ammer: I'm gonna be alone on the Fourth of July?

Michael: Mr. Ammer, if you need female companionship this weekend, my wife's friend Janine, wow.

Ammer: Really? What's she like?

Michael: Let's just say she will eat you up, sir.

Alice: Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is kind of important.

Michael: Okay. Go to the bathroom.

Alice: Okay.

O'Doyle: Dude! You suck so bad.

Ben: Do not. Hey, Dad.

Michael: Howre you doing, buddy1? Playing some catch?

O'Doyle: Actually, we're playing some drop, because Ben hasn't caught one yet.

Ben: Darn it.

Michael: You're a regular Derek Jeter yourself, O'Doyle? Love you, kid.

Ben: Love you too, Dad.

妙语佳句,活学活用

1. Big fish

Big fish 这个俚语本意是要紧的,有影响力的人物,和大家在《生活遥控器》(精讲之二)中讲到的big shot 差不多。在这里,big fish 则指的是the hotel project。

Big fish 常常出目前片语 big fish in a small pond里,意思是A person who is important in a limited arena2, someone overqualified for a position or in relation to colleagues,比如:Steve has both a Ph.D. and an M.D., yet he's content with his practice at a rural hospital; he prefers to be a big fish in a little pond.

2. Reel in

Reel in 是指to pull by winding3 the line to which it is attached on to a reel,钓鱼时咬饵的鱼拉上来的动作。在这里,由于Ammer先提到了big fish,所以下面他用了钓鱼这个比喻。

3. Howdy

是个感叹词,意思和hello,how do you do等打招呼的用语差不多。

4. Screw up

俚语,搞砸,搞糟的意思,比如:The young architect screwed up the entire construction project.

5. You such so bad.

Suck 在英文里的本意是吸,吮,而在这里表示某人 / 某事一点也不好,叫你非常失望。

在美国,你动不动就会听到其他人说:You suck! She sucks! It sucks!。有不少状况下可以用到这个词:

a. 昨天晚上你看了一场电影,假如朋友问你:How was the movie? ,你感觉那部片子真是拍得不如何地,你就能说:It sucked!,而且可以特别使劲地,强调一下sucked,强烈表示你的不满。

b. 你有朋友今晚要向他心爱的女孩告白,假如明天你问起他事情进行得怎么样,他对你说他最后还是临阵打了退堂鼓,你可以笑他真是没出息,然后快点加一句:You totally sucked!

c. 你们去赶公共汽车,但刚好错过没赶上,下一班车还要很长时间才会来,这个时候:

A: Guess what? We've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes. 知不知道,大家刚好错过公车了,下一班还要过四十五分钟才会来。

B: That sucks. 真逊!

反正,假如你不喜欢某人或是某事,或是表示非常失望,说他/她/它 suck就对了!但应该注意时态的使用方法啊!

6. Darn it

感叹词,表示不认可或恼怒,和Damn it差不多。
