雞尾酒 1988

• It's funny how those happy accidents can change the whole direction of your life. Although, looking back, "happy" may be the wrong word.

很有趣，開心的意外竟能徹底改變人生的方向。但回想起來，說「開心」這個字眼可能不對。

• Ah, you. Quickly, come on!

是你。快進來

• Right, okay.

好

• Come along. Up here.

跟上，上樓

• My last show was a triumph. Shall I read to you from Tattletale?

我上一場時裝秀大獲成功，要我唸《爆料報》的文章嗎？

• "Baroness designs stunned with her reinvention of the A-line with a bias cut and higher line that reshapes the silhouette in such an audacious way the audience broke into rapturous applause at first sight. She really is a genius."

「男爵夫人的驚人設計重新定義了A字裙，以斜裁和較高的線條，大膽重新塑造輪廓，觀眾一看就爆出瘋狂掌聲，她著實是個天才」

• 主詞(Baroness designs) + 動詞(stunned) + 補語(with her….) + 狀語(the audience broke into…)
• 補語的功能：用來補充說明動詞 – I paint the house red. red就是補語。
• 狀語：可以是單字或完整句子，修飾各種詞彙，提供更多資訊。

• I'll read that bit again, shall I? "She really is a genius." A triumph. Take a moment to revel in it.

這句我再唸一遍，好嗎？「她著實是個天才」，大獲成功，現在來陶醉一下

• “bit” 指的是一小部分或一小段文字，節錄用”segment”，稍長一點有完整性的用”part”，更長的整段用”passage”。夫人前面讀的是segment, 然後讀一個 bit。
• “Revel in something” 意思是「陶醉於某事」、「沉浸於某事」或「盡情享受某事」。“Revel” 表示「狂歡、狂歡作樂、尋歡樂」。簡單的表達方式：Take a moment to enjoy it. Take a moment to savor it. Take a moment to relish it. Take a moment to appreciate it.
• Oh, that's enough. New show. We must be perfect. Now go.

夠了，新時裝秀得完美無暇，去準備

• Window girl. Grab a mannequin, some fabric, and throw something together. The Baroness needs looks.

櫥窗妹，拿人體模型和布料，弄點東西出來，男爵夫人需要獨特的造型式樣

• “mannequin” 的 KK 音標是 /ˈmænɪkɪn/：諧音”美女金”
• "Throw something together" 是常見的口語，意思是匆忙地、草率地或急就章地做某事，通常指製作或安排某物，特別是在時間有限或資源有限的情況下。
• "looks" 在這情境指「服裝式樣」或「時尚」。在時尚業中，人們常常討論不同的 "looks"，指的是特定的時尚風格、服裝組合或造型。
• Looks. Right.

造型式樣，好

• It‘s foolish. Unhinged. Well, you’re fired. Pasty, pasty, pasty.

蠢。亂搞。你被開除了。蒼白蒼白蒼白。

• “unhinged” 意味著該設計被認為是失控的、不協調的，在外觀、比例或整體風格上存在缺陷或不協調之處。它可能意味著設計過於雜亂、過度複雜、缺乏統一性。
• Why are you speaking?

你幹嘛說話？

• I think you nicked me. Just...

您劃到我了，就...

• "nicked" 是俚語詞，意思輕微地刺傷、割傷或刮傷，或者是某人的皮膚被輕輕地觸及或碰撞到。
• Fabrics! Can you get me a red like that?

找布的！能找這種紅色嗎？

• Welcome to Second Time Around, I'm Artie or Art, as in "work of."

歡迎光臨第二次，我是藝術大師亞蒂，也就是《藝術品》。

• Wow! You look incredible.

哇，你看起來好炫

• I hear that all day, so I guess it's true.

大家都這麼說，一定是真的

• How does that look go on the streets?

大家對你那外型的看法如何？

• sth to go on the streets 是慣用語，外界對sth的看法: How does that new iPhone model go on the street? (外界對新款iPhone的評價是？)
• Mmm, some abuse and insults, of course. But I like to say that normal is the cruelest insult of them all and at least I never get that.

有些人辱罵，有些人羞辱，但我認為正常才是最毒的羞辱，還好目前為止沒人說我正常。

• I couldn't agree more.

我百分百同意

• Look around, Cinderella. I have everything a girl or boy could ever want. If you can dream it, I can dress it.

盡量看，灰姑娘，男生女生要的都有。只要你能夢想，我就能幫你搭配

• Dior, 1955, amazing.

迪奧，1955年，超驚豔

• Chanel, 1950. Spring collection.

香奈兒，1950年，春季系列

• Ah, you know your gowns.

你是禮服達人呢

你和我會成為好閨密的，亞蒂

男爵夫人，65年櫥窗，冬季系列

• I noticed that.

我注意到了

• Grubby girl, get me lunch. Soy salmon, lemon-zest risotto, cucumber sliced into two-inch diagonals at an eighth of an inch width sprinkled with seven leaves of parsley, shredded, not torn.

邋遢妹，幫我準備午餐。醬燒鮭魚、檸檬皮燉飯，小黃瓜斜切成5公分，寬0.3公分，撒上7片荷蘭芹，切碎，不要撕

• “risotto” 的 KK 音標是 /rɪˈzɑːtoʊ/，諧音：李炸頭
• slice sth into diagonals 斜切某東西
• Right.

好

• As the department stores that stock your range, we thought perhaps we could give you some input.

既然百貨公司銷售您的服裝，我們或許能給您一點意見

• stock your range 意指「供應或販售您的產品系列」。
• range 指的是特定品牌或供應商的一系列產品，美國常用 line。
• stock 則是指商店或零售商將商品納入庫存，並供應給顧客購買。
• Feedback.

反饋

• Oh, great. I'll start, shall I? My feedback.

太好，我先開始吧，我的反饋。

• You‘re short, you’re fat, you smell like an anchovy, you‘re color-blind, but you pretend you aren’t. You‘re a man who can’t take responsibility. Your revenues are down 15%, your foot traffic by 12 and a half. Yes, I do my own research.

你又矮又胖，身上飄出鯷魚味，你有色盲，卻假裝沒有，你是沒有擔當的男人。營收下降15% ，人流量減少12.5%。對，我自己也有做功課。

• Your store hasn't been refurbished since the Blitz. People don't know whether to buy a frock or duck and cover. And most of the funds meant for refurbs are being embezzled by you, stashing them in Swiss bank account number 32254766 to be precise.

貴公司自納粹轟炸倫敦後沒整修過，人們不知該來買裙子(含上身的連衣裙)還是來躲空襲。整修經費大多被你盜用，存在瑞士銀行，帳號32254766，夠精確了吧。

• That's me. Your turn. I'm all ears.

我說完了，換你們，我洗耳恭聽

• Good day.

再見

• Imbeciles.

蠢蛋

• Lunch, now.

午餐，開動

• Oh. Finally, someone competent. And someone not. This is my lawyer, Roger. Although he spends most of his time playing piano in a dingy little bar, actually, he's a good lawyer.

終於有個會做事的人。另一個不會。這是我的律師羅傑，儘管大部分時間都在小酒吧彈琴，他其實是個好律師。

• dingy 陰暗骯髒的

• Hi.

你好

• Hi. Piano's nice.

你好，彈鋼琴很好

• Yes.

是

• Time for my nine-minute power nap. Box up my lunch, Estella.

我該睡九分鐘活力午覺了，午餐打包

• It could do with a lining. You could use tulle to puff it out, give it some body. That's what I just said.

建議妳加點內襯，可以用薄紗讓它變膨，增加分量。我剛說的沒錯吧！

• “That‘s what I just said.” 的意思是，夫人認為她剛才已經提到了這個觀點或建議，並且此時再次強調這個觀點的正確性或重要性。

• Keep up, Estella.

跟上，艾絲黛拉

• Jewels.

珠寶

• And, Estella, make the bodice pencil thin.

艾絲黛拉，把馬甲設計得... 纖細一點

• Estella, did you make it pencil thin?

艾絲黛拉，有設計得纖細點嗎？

• All right, how do I look?

好，看起來如何？

• Fabulous.

美極了

• Well, I know that.

用得著你說？

• Show me.

給我看

• How would you have done it?

你會怎麼做？

• 這句使用了假設語法，你要是我，你會怎麼做呢？
• I think you're... something.

我覺得你... 有兩把刷子

• Come along.

過來

• I made this. The Baroness said she thinks I'm something. I think that's good. Everything's going so well, Mum. I'm really trying to be the Estella that you wanted. Mostly. It's working. I just wish you were here to see it.

我設計的，男爵夫人說我有兩把刷子，我想這是好事，一切都很順利，媽。我很努力成為你想要的艾絲黛拉，大致上啦，漸入佳境，好希望你能親眼看到。
