一顿饭收服马克：a dog in this fight

帕洛阿尔托的餐桌上，肖恩·帕克一边点菜一边讲故事，把马克和爱德华多都镇住了。他聊网站该不该赚钱，说 You don't wanna ruin it with ads because ads aren't cool（别用广告毁了它，广告不酷），又抛出 A million dollars isn't cool（一百万不酷）。最后他 pick up the check（买单），留下「十亿才叫酷」，让马克彻底服气。

发生了什么

晚饭局上，肖恩·帕克先自报家门，从自己的 Napster 往事一路讲到硅谷的派对和破产，把一个失败者翻身的故事讲得天花乱坠——旁白干脆把这场独白称作 a Seanathon（肖恩马拉松）。席间他给两人评理：网站酷就够，别用广告把它搞砸，这观点正合马克心意；谈到前景，他说 This is no time to take your chips down（现在不是收手的时候），又抛出 A million dollars isn't cool（一百万不酷）的名言。被问到立场，他自称 I don't have a dog in this fight（这事与我无关，我不站队），只是个来打招呼的粉丝。饭后他 pick up the check（买单），还留了个高招：把名字里的冠词 the 去掉，就叫 Facebook。

本章全部批注

87 句台词里标了 47 处

发音How do you do

How do you do 里 do 和 you 都弱读，几乎合成 hao-dʒə-doo，重音只在 How。

短语 · A2in front of someone

在某人面前、跟前

You guys don't have anything in front of you.
短语 · A2be waiting

一直在等

We were waiting.
俚语 · B1baby boy

小宝贝、亲昵的称呼——长辈或熟人对年轻男子的亲昵叫法，带点宠溺或调侃；对陌生男性这样称呼会显得轻佻。

- Hey, baby boy. - Can you bring out some things?
短语 · B1from that point on

从那一刻起

From that point on, it was a Seanathon.
短语 · B2take someone through something

带某人把某事过一遍

He took us through his episode with Napster.
短语 · B1a little like something

有点像

but I guess to them that was a little like selling a stolen car to pay for the stolen gas.

说声「算了、不管了」

So we said screw it, declared bankruptcy.
短语 · B2declare bankruptcy

宣布破产

So we said screw it, declared bankruptcy.
俚语 · B2screw it

去他的、算了不管了——表示对某事放弃或不在乎的粗俗说法；朋友之间表决心可用，正式邮件、对长辈不能说。

So we said screw it, declared bankruptcy.
短语 · B2make a name for oneself

闯出名堂、让自己为人所知

Christy 对 Sean 说 But you made a name for yourself，承认他靠 Napster 声名在外，虽然他刚说完破产。

- But you made a name for yourself. - And you are dry.
短语 · B1go on to something

接着走向、进而做

And then he went on to his second business venture,
短语 · B1be thrown out of something

被赶出某处

which was an online Rolodex that he got thrown out of by Case Equity.
语法 · B2an online Rolodex that he got thrown out of by Case Equity

定语从句：that he got thrown out of 是修饰 Rolodex 的定语从句，介词 of 留在从句末尾，是口语里常见的悬空介词。整句把「一个叫 Rolodex 的东西」和「他被风投赶出来」两件事缝在一起，所以听起来像一口气的家族史。

which was an online Rolodex that he got thrown out of by Case Equity.
短语 · B2take orders from someone

听某人指挥

I put on a tie and I shined my shoes, but nobody wants to take orders from a kid.

短语 · B2make something up

编造、无中生有

And if somehow, someway, you've managed to live your life like the Dalai Lama, they'll make shit up.
语法 · C1if somehow, someway, you've managed to live your life like the Dalai Lama, they'll make shit up

if 条件句：if 从句用现在完成时 you've managed，主句用缩写的 they'll，表示「就算你做到了这一步，接下来还是会怎样」。条件被推到极端：哪怕你活得毫无把柄，对方也能凭空编。中文的「就算你……他们也会」正是这个结构。

And if somehow, someway, you've managed to live your life like the Dalai Lama, they'll make shit up.
俚语 · B2make shit up

凭空编造、胡诌——粗口版的编造，带明显鄙夷；熟人吐槽可以，写报告、跟不熟的人说话要换成 make things up。

And if somehow, someway, you've managed to live your life like the Dalai Lama, they'll make shit up.
短语 · C1wipe one's chin and walk away

Hey, you know what? Settle an argument for us.

有它自身的长处

The Facebook is cool, that's what it's got going for it.
短语 · B1ruin something with something

用某物把某事搞砸

You don't wanna ruin it with ads because ads aren't cool.
短语 · B2throw a party

办一场派对

It's like you're throwing the greatest party on campus
短语 · C1take one's chips down

把筹码收回、过早收手

How big it can get, how far it can go. This is no time to take your chips down.
短语 · B1this is no time to do something

现在不是做某事的时候

How big it can get, how far it can go. This is no time to take your chips down.
发音million dollars

million 的尾 n 直接并入 dollars 的 d，中间没有缝，重音落在 dollars 的头一个音节。

A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool?
发音billion dollars

billion dollars 两个词都重读，billion 拖长，把数字的分量顶出来。

"A billion dollars."
短语 · C1may as well have done something

那还不如当初就做了某事

Unless you take bad advice, in which case you may as well have come up with
语法 · C1Unless you take bad advice, in which case you may as well have come up with

unless 条件句：unless 等于 if not，先划出唯一会出事的条件：除非你听错建议。in which case 再回指这个假设并推出后果。两句连用，把风险一句说尽。unless 后面用一般现在时 take，不能用将来式，这是条件句的常规。

Unless you take bad advice, in which case you may as well have come up with
短语 · B1a chain of something

一连串、连锁的

a chain of very successful yogurt shops.
短语 · B2catch a big fish

钓到大鱼、做成大事

When you go fishing, you can catch a lot of fish or you can catch a big fish.
语法 · B1When you go fishing

when 时间状语：when 引导时间状语从句，先设定一个场景：钓鱼的时候。主句再用 or 给出两种选择。这个结构不指某一次具体经历，而是像格言一样陈述普遍规律，所以 when 后面用一般现在时 go，不用过去式。中文说「钓鱼的时候」，英文也把时间放在句首。

When you go fishing, you can catch a lot of fish or you can catch a big fish.
短语 · B2get away from the point

跑题、偏离重点

You think we might be getting away from the point?
短语 · C1have a dog in this fight

在这件事里没有利益、不站队

Sean 在争钱还是争酷的辩论里收尾说 I don't have a dog in this fight，撇清自己只是过来说声嗨的粉丝。

I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm just a fan who came to say hi.
短语 · B2pick up the check

把账结了、请客买单

旁白说 He picked up the check, he told Mark they'd talk again soon, and he was gone，肖恩买完单就退场。

He picked up the check, he told Mark they'd talk again soon, and he was gone.
短语 · B2make a contribution

做出贡献

But not before he made his biggest contribution to the company.
发音It's cleaner

It's 的 t 几乎被吞掉，听起来像 ih-s cleaner，重心落在 cleaner。

It's cleaner.

看懂「一顿饭收服马克」

发音重点

  • How do you do — How do you do 里 do 和 you 都弱读，几乎合成 hao-dʒə-doo，重音只在 How。
  • million dollars — million 的尾 n 直接并入 dollars 的 d，中间没有缝，重音落在 dollars 的头一个音节。
  • billion dollars — billion dollars 两个词都重读，billion 拖长，把数字的分量顶出来。
  • It's cleaner — It's 的 t 几乎被吞掉，听起来像 ih-s cleaner，重心落在 cleaner。
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool?

一百万美元不酷。你知道什么才酷吗？ 把野心压进一个反问：小钱不叫酷，更大的数字才叫。它一句话把「赚钱」重新定义成「敢不敢想得更大」。

How big it can get, how far it can go. This is no time to take your chips down.

它现在连自己是什么都还没人知道，还能长多大、走多远都没数。现在不是收筹码的时候。 牌桌比喻说服力十足：牌局才开头就把筹码撤下，是最贵的错误。它把「别急着变现」讲成一种下注的纪律。

Private behavior is a relic of a time gone by.

私人行为，是一个逝去时代的遗物。 把隐私说成一件旧时代的展品：不是没有人再在乎，而是那个时代已经过去。冷静的句子，判了一个时代的死刑。

You don't wanna ruin it with ads because ads aren't cool.

你可不想用广告把它毁了，因为广告一点都不酷。 把「酷」立成一条不肯让价的底线：能挣钱，但不能靠毁掉体验来挣。它说清了一代产品人的取舍。

When you go fishing, you can catch a lot of fish or you can catch a big fish.

钓鱼的时候，你可以钓一堆小鱼，也可以钓一条大鱼。 用最朴素的比喻分出两套目标观：数量还是体量。它劝人别什么都抓，要盯真正大的那一尾。

关于这一章的问题

a dog in this fight 是什么意思？

字面是「这场打斗里的一条狗」，实际指「在这件事里没有利益、不必站队」。台词里他说自己不站队，只是来打个招呼的粉丝。

「请客买单」英语怎么说？

pick up the check，check 在这里指账单，pick up 是「拿起、付掉」。台词里说他饭后买单就走，动作利落。

「闯出名堂」英语怎么说？

make a name for yourself，指靠本事让自己为人所知。台词里说虽然他破产了，好歹闯出了名头。

valuation 是什么意思？

指「估值、价值评估」，常用于公司或资产。台词里说 a billion-dollar valuation，就是十亿美元的估值。

Seanathon 是怎么造出来的词？

把 marathon（马拉松）前半截换成人名 Sean，就成了「肖恩马拉松」。台词里用旁白调侃肖恩一个人滔滔不绝讲了整晚。
