Gavin: All right, geezer?
Santiago: Hey.
Gavin: Hey, man, thanks for covering for me, yeah. You're a top man. If you fingered me, I was right in the shitter.
Santiago: We're even, OK? I don't owe you no more favors.
Gavin: OK.
Santiago: You're screwing up your life, man. That's how you lost Christina.
Gavin: She'll be back.
Santiago: No, she won't. You know why? 'Cause she can't stand your asshole friends. How do you think that picture ending up in the paper? Bluto sold it. And how much does your other buddy make dealing drugs at all the fancy places you get him into? Hey you think I'm some greaseball who doesn't know stuff? These are probably the best years of our lives and how long have we got? Ten, if we're lucky? Or even less, if we get hurt like Jamie. And it can happen to any of us. Just like that, We're one tackle away from flipping burgers.
Gavin: Get out. Go on, piss off.
Gavin: Hey, boss. Can I have a word?
Dornhelm: Yes, please.
Gavin: Yes, I was the other bloke in that picture.
Dornhelm: I'm shocked.
Gavin: And I thought you should know it was me that dragged Santi also to that party to begin with. He didn't even wanna go. So it's not his scene. He's a good lad. I take full responsibility.
Dornhelm: Boys with big bank accounts are still boys. This is not an excuse for you any more. You're how old?
Gavin: 28.
Dornhelm: 29, I think.
Gavin: Yeah. Around that.
Dornhelm: The young players should be looking to you for an example. Off the field as well as on. Am I right?
Gavin: I hear what you're saying, boss. And... you're not the first person to say it.
妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. Geezer
Geezer 的意思是“古怪的人”。在Gavin 看來，Santiago是個怪人，他不喜歡球員們通常喜歡的那些party。
2. Top man
Top 作為形容詞用，有“最佳的，杰出的”意思，那么top man 就是“極好的人”了，這里我們可以把它翻譯成“大好人”。
3. Finger
Finger 在這里是個俚語，意思是“告發(fā)”，例如：He fingered the man who robbed the bank.
4. We're even
我們扯平了。
5. Flipping burgers
指的是 McJob （麥當(dāng)勞的工作）。McJob is slang for a low-paying, low-prestige job that requires few skills and offers very little chance of intracompany advancement. Such jobs are also known as contingent work or "jobby jobs." The term McJob comes from the name of the fast-food restaurant McDonald's, but is used to describe any low-status job — regardless of who the employer is — where little training is required, staff turnover is high, and where workers' activities are tightly regulated by managers. Most perceived McJobs are in the service industry, particularly fast food, coffee shops, and retail sales. Working at a low paying job, especially one at a fast food restaurant, is also often referred to as flipping burgers.
6. Piss off
Piss off 在這里的意思是“滾開, 滾蛋”，例如：Piss off and stop bothering me. 這個片語是個粗口，大家要慎用。
