原文语境
WALT: The one downstairs, tell me about him. Start with his name, at least. JESSE: Krazy-8. WALT: Krazy-8. What the hell does that even mean? JESSE: I don’t know, man. It just means Krazy-8. WALT: So you work with him regularly. JESSE: No, not him so much. His cousin, mainly, the guy out in the RV. Krazy-8’s one level higher. You know how there’s a Starbucks on every corner? Krazy-8 is like the dude that sells Starbucks’ beans. WALT: Okay, so he’s a distributor. What is his reputation for violence? JESSE: Well, he did try to kill us both yesterday, so there’s that. WALT: Look, he’s a businessman. It would therefore seem to follow that he is capable of acting out of mutual self-interest, yes? Do you think he is capable of listening to reason? JESSE: No, man. I don’t have high hopes where that’s concerned.
WALT:楼下的那个人,跟我说说他。至少先从他的名字开始。 JESSE:疯狂小八。 WALT:疯狂小八。这搞什么鬼,到底什么意思? JESSE:我不知道,老兄。它就是疯狂小八的意思。 WALT:所以你经常和他一起工作。 JESSE:不,不怎么和他。主要是他表哥,也就是在房车里的那个人。疯狂小八比他高一个级别。你知道每个角落都有一家星巴克吧?疯狂小八就像是那个卖星巴克咖啡豆的家伙。 WALT:好吧,所以他是个分销商。他有什么暴力倾向的传闻吗? JESSE:额,他昨天确实试图杀掉我们俩,所以那倒也是。 WALT:听着,他是个商人。因此,他能够出于共同的切身利益而行动,这难道不顺理成章吗?你认为他能听得进道理吗? JESSE:不,老兄。在这方面我可不抱太大希望。
