上文：
john 坐在教堂里，参加他好朋友 mike 的葬礼。看见众人一律
黑色的衣着 john 似乎听见 mike 抱怨道：“色彩似乎太单
调了些，你们看上去一个个都极一本正经！”
这句怎么翻: "You have a word on everything, don't you?" John shrugged his shoulders, but immediately he was taken aback by this unspoken thought.
下文：
He then quickly (hastely) muttered：“sorry, mike!"

“死了还什么都想罗嗦几句,是不是?”约翰耸了耸肩，可话还没到
嘴边，他立刻就吃惊地止住了口。急忙低声道歉“对不起，麦克.”

better than mine, but still ... “taken aback”怎么翻得好？

对我来说关键难点在最后一句：but he was immediately taken
aback by this unspoken thought.
这个 taken aback 到底该怎么翻才好？

"taken aback" 原意是“吃了一惊”、“吓了一跳”

但此处不可能被自己的想法“吃了一惊”。咱觉得最好用“格登”了一下，或可用“打了个寒战”。我的试译如下（借用“坛外判官”的妙译“话还没到嘴边”）：
"You have a word on everything, don't you?" John shrugged his shoulders, but immediately he was taken aback by this unspoken thought.
“你总是有理，对不对？！”约翰耸了耸肩。可话还没到嘴边，他心里就“格登”了一下。忙轻声说道：“对不起，麦克！”

如不通或如有更好的建议请您指教。多谢！
“色彩似乎太单调了些，”约翰仿佛听见麦克这样抱怨：“你们看上去
个个都那么一本正经！”

"You have a word on everything, don't you?" John shrugged his shoulders, but immediately he was taken aback by this unspoken thought.
“什么事最後总得依你的意见为准，是吗？”。。。。，但他马上被自己的言外之意吓了一跳。
“格登”台湾的人比较不知道是什么意思。

“格登”一下，确实好！坛外判官就此更名：好学小鬼。

May I have a word on it, though?

约翰耸了耸肩，正要说"你什么事情都要插把嘴才行,是不是?”却立刻被此念头吓了一跳，说到唇边的话又收了回去。
只连声咕哝道：“对不起，麦克！”
