少数派之《越狱》语言文化要点讲解第3季第2集

越狱第3季第2集

1. - Why us?

- I'll answer that question so we can put it to bed and you can focus on your work. There's a political spotlight on Whistler due to the nature of his crime. Raids, bribes, what have you, are not an option. We have to go in through the back door, so to speak.

put sth. to bed指to finish dealing with something。

spotlight原指聚光灯，引申为公众注意或突出显著。这里是说Whistler这个案子政治影响太大。

back door 后门也，通过秘密途径手段。

so to speak 可以说可谓。常常暗指说话人只是在提供一种表达，也许他人觉得这个说法并不准确。

2. - I never had her!

- At that house in Mexico, I chased your aunt and Maricruz off. I told them I'd lock 'em up for accessory if they didn't hightail it. I swear to god.

- And the crucifix?

- I ripped it off Maricruz before she ran. There was no phone in that dump, so I knew you wouldn't be able to call from the road to...to make sure I wasn't lying. I-I conned you.

accessory 原指配件(比如手机电池、底座等) 这里指帮凶、从犯、窝藏犯。

hightail it 【口语】迅速离开跑开。类似的表达还有beat it。

con 这里是动词指欺诈，欺骗。常说的骗子就是指con，骗子中的高手一般说con artist。

3. - Michael's locked up.

- For what?

- I don't know. I'm sorting it through. I could use your help. We're in A...we're in a bad spot.

- Uh, I feel for you, man, but I'm done with bad spots. I'm going to go see Maricruz.

- I just talked to my cousin Petey, and he told me she's back over in Chicago.

- Hey, you're still wanted in Chicago, remember?

- I'll figure something out.

sort through 理清理顺明白来龙去脉。这里Linc在说他也不知道Michael为何突然被捕的具体原由，还在慢慢了解中。

could use是口语固定表达，并不是表示过去。意指need, want。比如I’m thirsty. I could use some water。

in a bad spot 意思是in a bad situation，处在困境中。

wanted 被警方通缉的。《变形金刚》里有一句She’s a criminal. Criminals are hot. 这里的hot是双关语，一方面指女主角非常性感(hot)，另一方面hot也指被警方通缉。

figure out 计算出想出理解.很多动词加out都有成功完成的含义，比如work out, sort out。

4. - No sooner do I tell you to stick to the plan than you go and hassle Whistler's girlfriend. You need to quit playing Sherlock Holmes and leave her alone.

- Why?

- 'Cause I said so. How about that?

- All right. How about you beat it, so I can get to work?

- I will as soon as you give me what you took from her.

- I took nothing from her.

- I got a gallon of bleach, a tarp and a hacksaw in the trunk of my car. One hour, tops-- you're off the face of the earth.

no sooner…than…一…就… no sooner后面的句子要用倒装。

Sherlock Holmes 名侦探福尔摩斯。这里意思是让Linc不要再装私家侦探自己暗中调查。

leave sb alone 不去打扰某人。比如你很烦躁，别人偏偏要和你说话，然后你可以说Could you just leave me alone for a minute?

beat it 前面已经学习过了回顾一下哈。

off the face of the earth这句拽的很——从地球上消失。学习一下这句地道表达吧。
