【场景再现】
(Chandler的老板要提拔他,他却选择了辞职。不过Chandler看起来是个人才哪,因为他的老板一直给他打电话)
Joey: Hey Chandler, while you were sleeping that guy from your old job called again.
Chandler: Again?
Joey: And again, and again, and again... (phone rings, he answers) Hello? (hands phone to Chandler) And again.
Chandler: (on phone) Hey Mr. Kostelic! How's life on the fifteenth floor?
(Listens) Yeah, I miss you too.
(Listens) Yeah, it's a lot less satisfying to steal pens from your own home, you know?
(Listens) Well, that's very generous
(Listens) er, but look, this isn't about the money. I need something that's more than a job. I need something I can really care about....
(Listens) And that's on top of the yearly bonus structure you mentioned earlier?
(Listens) Look, Al, Al... I'm not playing hardball here, OK? This is not a negotiation, this is a rejection!
(Listens) No! No! No, stop saying numbers! I'm telling you, you've got the wrong guy! You've got the wrong guy!
(Listens) I'll see you on Monday!
【讲解】
play hardball: 朗文的解释是to be very determined to get what you want, especially in business or politics 在这里可以讲成为难。
