SCENE
⑤ C  会议结束后 


【她可都是玩真的】


 


Elvin:           I used to 1) be down on the sales people until I saw her 2) in action.


艾文:         我以前对业务员都很失望,直到我见识到吉娜的能耐。


 


Dave:  She means business, for sure.


戴夫:         她可都是玩真的。


 


Elvin:  Most salespeople 1 seem like 3) half-brains. Zina's definitely an 4) exception.


艾文:         大部分的业务看起来都没大脑。吉娜绝对是个例外。


 


Dave:  We'd better get back to work.


戴夫:         我们最好回去工作了。


 


Elvin:  Yeah, I'm not too worried about Vince, but I'd hate to face Zina if  we don't 5) deliver...


艾文:         是啊,我还不太担心文斯,但若我们搞不定,我可是打死不想面对吉娜……


 


语言详解


 


A: It's definitely time you got a haircut.


   你绝对该去剪头发了。


 


B: I know. My hair is always in my eyes.


   我知道。我的头发老是跑进眼睛。


 


【mean business 玩真的】


 


mean business是表示“当真,玩真的”,没有儿戏的成份在内,一心一意地去达成某件事,未必和“生意”business有关:


 


A: I still can't believe Mary got into college.


     我还是不敢相信玛莉考进大学了。


B: Well, she meant business this time.


     呃,她这次是玩真的。


 


mean business也可以表示为了某种目的而来:


 


A: Why are the police outside?


     警察怎么会在这儿?


B: They mean business. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here.


     他们来办事。要不然没事他们不会来的。


 


1) be down on... 对……感到失望,看不起。


2) in action  在行动中,在动作中


3) half-brain  (n.) 只有半个脑,意即“没大脑,白痴”。


4) exception  (n.) 例外


5) deliver  (v.) 成功达成交付任务
