hot off the presses刚出炉

把一门生意压缩成千把人头，数字一摆，梦想就有了形状。

If I can find N people like you, I'm in business.

朋友说想创业或卖东西时，可以这么算给他听；对投资人以外的人别太当真。

find enough people like you and you're set ／ a few thousand people and you've got a business

口语

重音落在 in business，前面的人头数字放平。

If I can find fifty parents like you, this class is in business. 要是能找到五十个像你这样的家长，这班就开得成了。

一句话分清了归属和付出，不是自己的东西，也照样认真做。

This ain't my X, but I put a lot of work in it.

帮别人做事、功劳不算自己时能用；正式汇报里别用 ain't。

not my project, but I gave it my all ／ not my name on it, still my work

口语

ain't 轻读，but 后停顿，this film 加重。

This ain't my project, but I put a lot of work in it. 这不是我的项目，可我在里面下了不少功夫。

把二十年交情和一句 it's done 并排，轻描淡写却重得很。

I've known someone for N years, and it's done.

说到坚持很久终于完成的事时能用；对不熟的人别掏心窝子。

we go way back, and it's finally done ／ known him for years, and now it's finished

中性

known 拉长，and it's done 三词一字一顿收住。

I've known this team for five years, and it's done. 我跟这个团队共事五年了，现在总算做完了。

用观众买票的常识当尺子，一句话把糊弄的画面判了死刑。

You go to X, you see this. You don't pay to see that.

挑毛病、讲质量标准时能用；别拿去当面骂人。

people pay for this, not for that ／ that's not what anyone pays to watch

口语

this 和 that 对比要重读，中间停顿一下。

You pay for a concert, you expect this. You don't pay to hear that. 你花钱听演唱会，图的是这个。那种声音你才不会掏钱。
