你到底想说啥?
其实我们可以直接说:
What are you trying to say?
What the hell are you saying to me?
What are you talking about right now?
What exactly are you saying?
...
但是影片中使用的另一种表达,我们可以一起记下来:
你到底想说啥?也就是说话人有言外之意:
What's the sub-text here?
sub- 在XX下面的
text-文字
subtext n. 字面背后的意思,潜台词,弦外之音
What’s the subtext here?
What’s the writer really saying?
这里的潜台词是什么?
作者到底想说什么?
