他是个拖人下水的老家伙

Nate: Let's just play some ball.

Chuck: Or he invited himself? That is his style.

口语提炼：表示“某人不请自到”“没有邀请他他也来了”，我们用invite加上反身代词oneself即可，这个句型是：

Sb invites himself.

口语提炼：表示“做某事是某人管来的风格”，可以用下面这个句型：

That is someone’s style.

Chuck: Begging us to break free of our prisons while stuffing his face with free food and draining our booze.

短语点拨：break free of是个固定短语，意思是“挣脱......摆脱.......打破......”再如：

This helps you break free of familiar patterns of thought. 这样可以帮助你打破惯有的思考模式。

They wished to break free of imperialist powers. 他们希望从帝国主义列强的控制下摆脱出来。

口语提炼：表示一个吃得脸都胖了，可以用下面这个句型：

Sb. stuffs his face with food.

台词中说到的是：stuff his face with free food中的free food是指“不用自己出钱而是别人出钱请他吃的食物”。介词with在这里的意思是“用......；以......”。

词汇精讲：stuff在这里的意思是“狼吐虎咽地吃”。其英文解释为：fill (sb/oneself) with food。它的固定搭配是：~ (sb/oneself) (with sth) 。例如：

She sat stuffing herself with biscuits. 她坐在那里吃饼干。

词汇精讲：drain在这里的意思是“喝光”，其英文解释为：empty (a glass, etc) or drink all the contents of:。例如：drain one's glass dr（该把杯中饮料喝光），drain the cup（干杯）。

Chuck: He's a deadbeat and a hypocrite.

词汇点拨：deadbeat是指“游手好闲者”；hypocrite是指“伪善者，伪君子”。

Nate: And a good ballplayer, if i remember right.

口语提炼：表述“某人在某项活动中有高超的技艺，水平很高”，可以用下面这个句型：Sb is a good +player. 再如：

she is a good piano player.

口语提炼：表示某人记忆力好，可以用下面这个句型：

Sb remembers right. （注：right在这里是副词，意思是“正确地”。）

Baizen: Maybe if your daddy bought you a basketball team instead of a hotel, you’d have some skill.

短语点拨：instead of是个固定短语，意思是“而不是”，相当于rather than。再如：

I should take my rest now instead of later. 我现在就得休息，而不是一会。

A slip of the tongue made me say Robert instead of Richard. 我说走了嘴把理查德说成了罗伯特。

语法点拨：这句话是一个真实条件虚拟句式，使用了虚拟语气，表示的是与现在的事实相反，所以从句和主句都用了一般过去时。我们来分析这个句子：

Maybe if your daddy bought you a basketball team instead of a hotel（注解：事实上，Chuck的父亲没有给他买下一个篮球队，而是帮他买下了一个酒店）, you’d have some skill.（事实上Chuck没有技术）

弦外之音：这句话是Baizen讽刺Chuck在打球没有技术，只会请同学们到他爸爸帮他买的酒店里吃喝玩乐。

Chuck: Go jump into a volcano.

习惯用法点拨：在美语中有go这个动词表示“去”的意思，它后面如果接动词的话，可以不用使用不定式，直接接动词原形即可。例如：go eat（去吃东西）。

短语点拨：jump into的意思是“跳进”。再如：

The boy throw off his clothes and jump into the water. 男孩匆匆脱下衣服, 跳入水中。

Nothing will induce me to jump into the icy water. 我怎么也不会想跳进这冰冷的水里。

Baizen: Let's just settle it on the court.

短语点拨：on the court是指“在球场上”。再如：

Two players are appearing on the court. 两名选手登场了。

I hope to see you on the court early. 希望早日在球场上看到你的身影。

Chuck: Let's settle it right now.

短语点拨：right now是副词短语，表示时间，意思是“现在，立即”。再如：

I'll make a reservation right now. 我现在就订房间。

He is with someone right now. Would you hold? 他现在在会客。你可以稍等吗？

Nate: Hey, chill out.

俚语点拨：chill out是“冷静”“放松下来”的意思，是动词短语，属于俚语。再如：

After raves, we used to chill out in each others' bedrooms. 以前每次狂欢派对过后，我们都会到彼此的卧室去放松一下。

Chill out, it is not a big deal. 冷静点，不是大问题。

Chuck: No, this is my game. I pick the players.

口语提炼：表述是某人召集进行的比赛，可以用下面这个句型：This is sb’s game. 这里的game可以换做别的词语，如：This is my party.（这是我举办的派对。）

Nate: Hey, text me the address later.

词汇点拨：text在这里的意思是“给......发短信”，是及物动词。

Chuck: He's an older brother bringing everyone down.

短语点拨：bring down的基本意思是“使.....倒下，打到”，这里是指“把.....拖下水”，就是指“做坏事使得某人受害等”。再如：

They wanted to bring down the government without shedding blood. 他们想推翻政府,但不想流血。 

It will certainly bring down vengeance upon you. 上天一定会惩罚你们的。

语法点拨：bringing everyone down是现在分词作后置定语修饰前面的名词brother。

Nate: Let's just play some ball.

短语点拨：play some ball表示的意思就是指“打球”，不是指“具体打什么球，是篮球还是排球等等”，some在这里的意思是“某种，某个”。
