1-他不断的问什么叫惊喜

2-这个我不知道

3-1800000

4-他给我这他妈这个是惊喜啊。肖迪我愿意等你三天

I listened to it for about 5 ~ 6 times

@Gleaves: This one was pretty hard. I'm totally guessing, feel free to give me some tips. I haven't looked at anything yet.

1. They want to know what is 惊喜 (to be pleasantly surprised)

2. Because they don't know what the surprise is? And they want him to say what it is? Perhaps they want to know how much money is he going to bring?

3. He first says he'll bring back 800,000 but it's not what they want to hear. Then he says 1,800,000 and now they are "pleasantly surprised" and understand the 惊喜.

4. The first one is confusing I thought he said something like "他可这他妈是惊喜啊"

The second one sounds like "小弟" 我愿意等你三天

Yeah, I definitely think this one is tough. In fact I think this whole movie was really tough language-wise. Good work, jkhsu and Hesham. Some thoughts:

1. yep, he is asking what 惊喜 is.

2. You are close on this one, but not quite there. This is tricky because their whole conversation is rather unintuitive.

3. 1,800,000 (same number quoted twice).

4. jkhsu - you are real close. You have the 小弟 part right. How might the first part start off then?

Listening to the last few lines again, there seems to be more going on than I heard the first time. Both start off with two characters, but he quickly says something that I hadn't noticed and wasn't the subtitles. I think Hesham and jkhsu both picked it up, but I can't say for sure, so if any 听力英雄 could confirm for us, that would be great.

2- Maybe because they are afraid he wouldn't like the surprise ?

or because he insists on knowing what the surprise is

@Gleaves: I gave it a shot but couldn't come up with anything more so I finally gave up and looked at the transcript. Then I did a bunch of Google/Baidu searches using translation software, etc. etc. And I still don't get it!

Does 县长 just want both 黄老爷 and 汤师爷 to be in agreement on what is the exact nature of 惊喜? Therefore, he's asking them both to say it?

And what is the significance of 接上我的腿? 黄老爷 says "接上我的腿" and 汤师爷 says "接上他的腿". I'm assuming the 他 is referring to 黄老爷?

Wow, what the hell is up with this dialogue.

1. The angry guy wants to know what the hell "惊喜" means.

2. Everyone else knows the meaning of the word 惊喜.

3. 1,800,000两银子

4. 原来, 小弟. Except it doesn't really sound like 原来, it sounds more like 大哥，这他妈的

Well done, all.

Feihong has it right. Basically, the 县长 character is pretending to not know what the word 惊喜 means just to be a jerk and get on the nerves of 黄老爷. He refuses to hear it straight from 黄老爷's mouth and 汤师爷 must "translate." It reminded me of when a couple is in a fight and talk through a third person even though they are right next to each other. 县长 further rubs it in at the end by pretending to respectful by calling him 大哥.
