（上接 第二部分 ）

1. Barney: If you complete that call, I will set your coat on fire. （如果你打这个电话，我就把你的外套烧了。）

Ted: You're bluffing .   （唬谁呢！）

解析：

bluff: to pretend that you will do something or that you know or have something in order to trick someone into doing what you want 唬人、吹牛

例：

Don't listen to his threats—he's just bluffing. （别怕他威胁，他净唬人！）

She says someone else has made her a higher offer, but I think she's bluffing. （她说有人给她开了更高的工资，我觉得她在吹牛。）

He's a terrible card play — you can always tell when he's bluffing. （他牌打得极烂，他骗人有好牌的时候，你总能看出他在胡说。）

I managed to bluff my way into the show without a ticket. （这个演出我没票，但靠着胡说八道混进去看了。）

I bluffed my way through the interview. （整个面试过程我净在那儿吹牛。）

2. Barney: Sleep it off , bro. （你快睡吧，伙计。）

解析：

sleep (something) off/ sleep off (something): to sleep until the effects of alcohol, medication, etc. are no longer felt 

备注：这个是较口语化的用法。如果朋友喝醉酒了，你就可以叫他 ''sleep it off'' 。

例：

She was sleeping off the anesthesia. （她上了麻醉，正在睡。）

He had too much to drink. I'm letting him sleep it off. （他喝高了，我让他去睡。）

3. Ted: I threw up? My streak is over . Vomit-free since '05 doesn't sound good.   （吐了？！我的不吐传奇终止了。“ 05 年开始的不吐传奇”好像不怎么押韵。）

PS: Ted 原来号称自己是 ''Vomit-free since '93'' ，这确实比较押韵！

解析：

streak: n. a period of repeated success or failure 连胜 / 连败

例：

a winning/losing streak （连胜、连败）

The team has recently been on a hot streak . （这支队伍最近连赢好几场。）

本集后面： Ted 发现自己原来没有吐，得意地说： And the streak continues . Vomit-free since '93.

4. Ted: Carl, did you know the word ''karaoke'' is Japanese for empty orchestra? Isn't that hauntingly beautiful? Are you a vampire?

卡尔，你知道“卡拉 OK ”这个词是日语“无人管弦乐队”的意思吗？是不是很空灵？你是不是吸血鬼？（ Ted 完全喝醉了开始胡说八道……）

Carl: All right. I am cutting you off . Go home and get some sleep, Ted.   （好吧，我得打断你一下，回家睡觉吧泰德！）

解析：

''cut somebody off'' 在剧中一语双关。

① to stop someone from talking 打断某人讲话

例：

I was in the middle of telling a story she cut me off to ask about dinner. （我正在讲故事，她打断我，问了吃饭的事。）

He spoke for 12 minutes until his teacher cut him off. （他老师截住他的话头时，他已足足讲了有 12 分钟。）

② to refuse to allow someone to drink more alcohol 不能让某人再喝酒

例：

He's had too much to drink. We'd better cut him off. （他喝得太多了，我们不能再让他喝了。）

在本剧中， Ted 醉成这样，还说个不停，所以既不能再喝了，也别再说了！

5. Carl: This way, if you pass out in the gutter... Someone will call me and I will come get you. 这样吧，如果你掉到沟里睡着了，他们会打这个电话找我，我就去接你。

解析：

pass out: to fall asleep or become unconscious 睡着或不省人事

例：

They both passed out in front of the TV. （他们俩都看电视看到睡着。）

He drank until he passed out. （他一直喝到人事不知。）

I felt like I was going to pass out from exhaustion. （我觉得我快累得睡着了。）
