庭外取证互相揭底:off the record

律师楼的取证室里,律师一句句紧逼,把当年的事拆开问:从马克怎么拉人入伙,到那桩 screw someone out of(把某人挤出)公司的指控;被问急了,证人喊 Stop typing. We're off the record(别打字了,这段不记入笔录),双方为「你这是在臆断」来回顶。想学法律、谈判里这些针锋相对的说法,这段全是金句。

发生了什么

这是一场庭外取证。律师从当年怎么拉人合作问起,证人也承认自己当时答了一句 Let's do it(干吧),还解释对方为什么找上他。话题很快转到对创始人的指控:有人说他 screw someone out of(把某人挤出)公司,还拿凤凰俱乐部的事做文章。被问是不是眼红,证人直接打断:Stop typing. We're off the record(别打字了,这段不记入笔录)。后半段,律师追问他知不知道那桩拖延:有没有看过温克沃斯兄弟的项目;话音刚落,当年的邮件就被拿了出来,用来证明拖延早就开始了。想学法律对质、谈判桌上的说法,这些句子都能用。

看懂「庭外取证互相揭底」

发音重点

  • get it online — get it 连读,t 变 flap 像 geddit,online 重音在后。
  • off the record — 重音落在 record,off the 快速带过。
  • about to find — about 的尾 t 轻弹一下便滑进 to,to 常弱化为 /tə/,find 收得干脆。
You're offering a conclusion not found in evidence.

你提出的结论,证据里根本没有。 一句法庭式反击,把对方的推理挡在证据门槛外。用词克制,杀伤力却最大。

Stop typing. We're off the record.

别打字了。我们现在不记入笔录。 把漫长取证瞬间打断,宣布规则改变。短短两句全是主动权:谁先喊停,谁就定了场上的规矩。

There was nothing to hack.

根本没什么可破解的。 反驳偷窃指控最省力的一句:那些资料本来就是大家自愿放上去的。讲事实,也消掉道德压力。

I said, "Let's do it."

我说:「干吧。」 一句干脆的应允,把犹豫一刀切断。它既显出资方的爽快,也埋下后来所有纠葛的起点。

take the Phoenix Club and turn it into my ping-pong room.

把凤凰俱乐部拿下来,改成我的乒乓球室。 用最幼稚的画面展示最赤裸的权力:当年拒你门外的俱乐部,如今可以买来当游戏房。报复得具体又好笑。

关于这一章的问题

off the record 是什么意思?

意思是「不供记录、私下说」,多用在采访、取证或谈判里,提醒对方接下来这句别记、别外传。台词里证人喊停打字,用的就是这句。

「把某人挤出」公司英语怎么说?

screw someone out of something,指用手段把本该属于对方的钱、股份或位置弄走。台词里指有人策划把合伙人从公司里挤出去。

「嗤之以鼻、公然挑衅」英语怎么说?

thumb one's nose at,字面是「朝某人翘鼻子」,引申为对权威或不屑规矩地挑衅。台词里说他朝纪律委员会嗤之以鼻,还出尽风头。

at the moment 是什么意思?

意思是「此刻、眼下」,强调说话当下这一瞬间。台词里说他眼下就能买下整条街,把俱乐部改成乒乓室,语气很狂。

「一笔启动资金」英语怎么说?

a little start-up cash,start-up 指刚起步的公司或项目,cash 是现金。台词里说要租服务器、把网站弄上线,就需要一点启动资金。
