The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn the deposition room, counsel walks Mark through a January letter: he waited six weeks to say the site was unfinished. Mark reads it aloud, then denies leading the Winklevoss twins on. Rain starts outside. The lawyer asks whether he has Mark's full attention. Under oath, Mark says no. He leaves the rest of his mind at Facebook, then asks if that answered a condescending question.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“I think if your clients wanna sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall,”
我觉得如果你们委托人想踩在我肩膀上还自称个子高,
把抢功说成踩肩膀充高个,侮辱完整、画面狠。
sit on someone's shoulders and call yourself tall
有人抢你成果还对外邀功时。
Don't stand on my work and call it yours. / They want credit for what I built.
informal
shoulders 拉长,tall 干脆落下。
“The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook,”
其余的注意力都在 Facebook 办公室,
当庭把心思拆开:你只配剩下的那一点。
The rest of my + 名词 + is + 地点。
要公开说自己没把全部心思放这儿时。
Most of my focus is elsewhere. / You have a sliver of my time.
informal

“Did I adequately answer your condescending question?”
我这样回答你这个居高临下的问题,够充分了吗?
用礼貌问句把羞辱原样扔回去,收口极冷。
Did I adequately answer your + 形容词 + question?
对方摆架子提问,你要当场回敬时。
Was that a sufficient answer? / Does that cover your loaded question?
formal
adequately 拉长,condescending 每个音节都咬。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI think if your clients wanna sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have a right to give it a try, but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
我觉得如果你们委托人想踩在我肩膀上还自称个子高, 他们有权试试, 但没规定我得乐意坐在这儿听人撒谎。 你有我一部分注意力。最低限度的那种。 其余的注意力都在 Facebook 办公室, 我和同事正在做这屋子里没人, 包括而且尤其是你们委托人, 在智力和创造力上都做不到的事。 我这样回答你这个居高临下的问题,够充分了吗?
