B:You're not helping your case. A:あのインテリがyour kidをモテモテにしてやれるか? B:兄貴は(モテモテで)苦労してるだろ? って感じでしょうか?Aの「step up」とか 「When the time comes」ってどーゆー意味なのでしょう?

Step up は to be promoted (昇格される) という意味もありますが、increase by degrees という意味です。Get laid は性行為を持つ事ですが、get (someone) laid は誰かにその相手をみつけてあげる事になります。 弟が、You're not helping your case. という case とは、兄が「何故子供を引き取るのは自分では駄目なのか」という言い分の事で、我が子の将来を問題にしているのに、兄がセックスの事にしか頭にないような事を言うので「そんな事言うと益々立場が悪くなるよ」という感じです。 When the time comes は普通は「(誰かが)死んだら」という婉曲な言い回しですが、この場合は子供の puberty の意味にもとれます。Egg-head は、geek の意味です。インテリよりは「オタク」に近いかもしれません。もう倒産してしまいましたが、コンピューターのハード及びソフトウェアを売るオンラインの店で、Egghead というのがありました。 また、もうイディオムになっていますが、アメリカ人の好きな sports analogy で、step up to the plate というのがありますが、これは打者がプレートに立つ、という意味から「チャレンジに立ち向かう、責任を負う」という意味になります。どちらかというと、この意味の方が上記の会話の訳にはピッタリすると思います。

When the time comes: Bが死んだとき step up: 登場する 会話部分を訳すと A:(結局)お前が死んだらあのアホタレが(横から)登場して 子供を引き取って育てるってのか? B:兄貴の(今までの)人生経験に子育てに役立つものはないだろ egg-headは頭が空っぽだと思われている人、もしくは本人は頭がいいと 思っているけれど、他人には気違いや変人として見られている人を指す 米国でよく使われるスラングです。

お礼

egg-head=アホタレ→この訳すごくいいですね。 スラングって氷山の下というか・・・難しいですね。 どうもありがとうございました。

    会話文を読んで、空所を補うのに最も適当なものを選ぶ問題です。 X: Hi! I'm glad I caught you. I was wondering what you're doing on March twenty-third. Y: (1 ) X: What are you looking at there? It looks like a little computer or something. Y: You're just about right. It's the new electronic memo pad I just bought. Cool, isn't it! X: My father has one of those, but his is much bigger than that one! Who makes it? Y: (2 ) X: It's nice you got it at a low price. But if you don't know the company's name, how can you complain when there is something wrong with it? Y: I have the company's name at home, on the instruction book, so I'll be OK. And it comes with a five-year guarantee. X: That's good. But I don't need a guarantee for my humble pencil and paper. Y: (3 ) X: I suppose it also contains an address book? Y: Yes, and a calendar, and I can also attach a special piece that turns it into a telephone! X: (4 ) Y: Right. And you can't do that with your pencil and paper! X: I suppose your machine has a large memory, too. Y: (5 ) X: (6 ) (1)I think I have something to do that day, but just let me check. (2)I guess that's better than your own human memory ― you've already forgotten that I asked about your March twenty-third schedule! (3)So you can look up your friend's phone number and call her up with the same machine! (4)It's an American company, I think. Anyway, I bought it over the Internet. They were having a big sale, and the prices were all especially low. (5)That's right. So no matter how many memos or addresses I put into it, there is always room for more. (6)In your case, though, as you write more, you need more paper. With this electronic device, I can put a lot of information in it, but it never gets heavier. 一応考えたのは、1が(1),2が(4),3が(6),4が(3),5が(5),6が(2)ですけどあってますか? 少し長いですがお願いします。

  • どれが正しいですか

    以前にも似た様な質問を投稿したのですが、また、わからなくなったので教えて下さい。 以下の4つの文は、どれが正しいでしょうか。 それとも全て正しくて、ニュアンスが違うのでしょうか? 1,There comes a time when you stop smoking. 2,There will come a time when you will stop smoking. 3,There comes a time when you will stop smoking. 4,There will come a time when you stop smoking. 時間軸で考えて、3については"a time"先に来て、"you stop smoking"が後から起きる感じがします。 "a time"と"you stop smoking"の関係性について教えて下さい。
