Bryan Cranston Fully Commits While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones
Bryan Cranston -- Interviewer: Sean Evans
Breaking Badの主演Bryan Cranstonが激辛手羽先に挑むHot Ones。役作りや声帯を守る「沈黙の月曜」、Breaking Badの小道具メス(実は綿菓子)の裏話など、リラックスした雑談トーンで進むので口語表現の宝庫。You got this / a walk in the park / I'm up for it など、明日すぐ使える励まし・ノリの返しが大量に拾える回。
Wait a minute, what was Hot Ones? Wait, wait, wait.
But I'm up for the task, yeah, I'm up.
I'm not familiar with any of these hot sauces, so you'll have to introduce them to me as we go along.
be up for ~ は「~する気がある、やる気だ」。誘いにノリよく「やるよ、いいよ」と返す定番。I'm up だけでも通じる。日本人が言いがちな I want to do より自然で前向きな返事。

“as we go along”
I'm not familiar with any of these hot sauces,
so you'll have to introduce them to me as we go along.
Well, it'll be an education.
「進めながら、やりながら」。最初に全部決めず、その都度・流れの中でやっていく感じを表す便利な副詞句。I'll figure it out as we go along のように雑談でもよく出る。
04A
“Enjoy that while you can”
Well, this one is tasty, but not that hot.
Enjoy that while you can.
(laughing)
「今のうちに楽しんどけよ」。この先キツくなるぞ、と軽く脅す/からかう言い回し。while you can は「できるうちに」。友達に皮肉まじりに言えて笑いが取れる、汎用性の高い口語。
05S
“a walk in the park”
So this next one is the Butterfly Bakery Taco Vibes Only.
Now this one, hot, but after the last one. Kind of a walk in the park.
Yeah, so far.
直訳は「公園の散歩」だが意味は「楽勝、朝飯前」。難しくない・余裕、を表す超定番イディオム。It was a walk in the park のように使える。日本語の「楽勝」をそのまま英語にしたい時にハマる。
06S
“You got this”
there should have been no nervousness about coming back. No anxiety about coming back.
You got this.
Well, this is only halftime.
「お前ならいける、大丈夫」と励ます超定番フレーズ。試験前・本番前の相手にポンと言える。You can do it より口語的でカジュアル。応援したい場面で毎日使える。
07B
“a false sense of security”
We got the whole second half.
We'll all do into a false sense of security maybe in the front half, yeah.
So we talked to actors in the past about picking and sequencing roles,
「根拠のない安心感、油断」。実は危ないのに大丈夫だと思い込む状態。lull someone into a false sense of security の形で頻出。雑談でも「油断するなよ」的な文脈で便利。
08B
“punch it up”
It relies heavily on the ensemble cast
to be able to punch it up and just play.
So we will do scenes, we will shoot the scene as it's written,
「もっと面白く/良くする、味付けを濃くする」。台本や企画、プレゼン資料などを手を加えて魅力的にする時の口語。Let's punch it up a bit のように仕事の雑談でも使える。
09A
“plow through / just go through”
And you're going, oh my God, I just said this. I'm repeating it.
I learned just plow through.
'Cause at first I would stop and go, oh, sorry.
plow through は「途中で止まらず最後まで突っ切る、強引にやり切る」。ミスしても気にせず進める、難しい作業を一気に片付ける時に使う。仕事でも勉強でも「とにかく進める」の便利語。
10A
“to shut you up”
He goes, "You gotta have one. Yo, have one!"
And so, "All right, all right. You know, to shut you up."
And I tasted one, it was like... That's pretty good.
「お前を黙らせるために(しゃーなしで)」。しつこく言われて折れた時の定番の言い訳。All right, just to shut you up の形で、冗談まじりに「うるさいから従うよ」と返せる。軽口として日常で使える。
