如果有人跟你扯8卦,你可以不屑地说: Ordinary people fill their heads with all kinds of rubbish. That makes it hard to get at the stuff that matters.(普通人让自己的大脑装满垃圾,所以很难发现重要的东西。)
如果8卦的人对你露出不敬的表情,重申立场: Listen, this is my hard drive, and it only makes sense to put things in there that are useful. REALLY useful.(听着,大脑就是我的“硬盘”,只有非常有用的东西我才存进去,必须要“非常有用”!)
就算有人对你表示仰慕,也还是要保持自己的范儿: Dr. John Watson: Why didn't I think of that?(为什么我没想到?) Sherlock Holmes: Cause you're an idiot. No no no, don't be like that, practically everyone is.(因为你笨。别别别,别露出那副表情,你们所有人都是笨蛋。。)
如果有人说你嘴贱,狠狠回击ta: Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.(每个童话都少不了一个经典大反派。)
