叫某人过来
In late November, I got the e-mail from Mark telling me to come out for the millionth-member party.The Social Network · 2010 — 第 23 / 23 章 · 3'20" · B2
爱德华多飞到加州,以为要开商务会,推门进去才发现自己被稀释得几乎一无所有,被 You're not a part of Facebook(你已经不是 Facebook 的人了)当场打醒。他当场翻脸,把能骂的都骂了,最后撂下让对方去请律师的狠话。想学设局、翻脸和放狠话,这段最狠。
爱德华多收到马克的邮件,飞到加州。他讲清经过:In late November, I got the e-mail from Mark telling me to come out(十一月下旬,我收到马克的邮件叫我过去),邮件说有一场商务会,还提到一份 hard to turn down(难以拒绝)的投资要约。可到了办公室,他才知道自己是被叫来入局的,最打击他的一句是 You're not a part of Facebook(你已经不是 Facebook 的人了)。他翻出签名的事,You signed the papers(文件是你签的),反被怼你设局坑我。爱德华多彻底爆发,被 Security's here. You'll be leaving now(保安到了,你现在可以走了)请了出去,最后撂下让对方去请律师的狠话。想学商务冲突里的摊牌、设局和放狠话,这一章句句带劲。

叫某人过来
In late November, I got the e-mail from Mark telling me to come out for the millionth-member party.为了某事专程过来
In late November, I got the e-mail from Mark telling me to come out for the millionth-member party.不得不开(会)
It said that we had to have a business meeting.为了报复演的一场花招
证词里说 Mark 和 Sean 对 Case Equity 搞了一出 revenge stunt,把这场报复说成投资人突然改口、肯见面的原因。
That Mark and Sean had played some kind of revenge stunt on Case Equity, and that Manningham was so impressed印象深到(以至于)
That Mark and Sean had played some kind of revenge stunt on Case Equity, and that Manningham was so impressed过去完成时:had played 是过去完成时,用在转述里表示比「说」更早发生的事:他们先整了风投,对方才被打动。整个从句是邮件内容的转述。中文常用「他们之前就干过」,英文用一个 had 就把先后顺序交代清楚。
That Mark and Sean had played some kind of revenge stunt on Case Equity, and that Manningham was so impressed一份投资报价
that he was now making an investment offer that was hard to turn down.难以拒绝
邮件里说 Manningham 的投资报价 was hard to turn down,把这次见面包装成天上掉下来的好事。
that he was now making an investment offer that was hard to turn down.该不该为某事打扮
I didn't know whether to dress for the party or for the business meeting,whether to 结构:whether to do 表示在两个可能之间拿不定主意,后面用 or 列出选项。它相当于一个压缩的宾语从句,省略了主语和情态动词。这场里它写出爱德华多的处境:两个场合,一套衣服,选哪个都不对。
I didn't know whether to dress for the party or for the business meeting,为两种场合都打扮了
so I kind of dressed for both.被叫来是为了某事
What were you called out there for?一场伏击
An ambush.An 的 n 滑到 ambush 的元音上,两个词黏成一拍,重音落在 am。
An ambush.就在这边
Mr. Saverin. Hey. Right over here.见到你真好
- Good, good, good, good, good. - Good to see you.等着签的合同
At first I thought he was joking. Giving me more contracts to sign.如你所知
Well, as you know, we had some new investors that have come in.新进来的投资人
Well, as you know, we had some new investors that have come in.他线上连着(在偷听)
- Mark? - He's wired in.wired 词尾的 d 弹向 in 的元音,两个词黏在一起,重音留在 wired。
- Mark? - He's wired in.Call 词尾的 l 直接连到 security,中间不断,重音放到 se。
- How about now? Are you still wired in? - Call security.出现、到来
You were told that if new investors came along...股份被稀释
How much were your shares diluted? How much were his?被摊薄、被稀释到某个地步
律师拿 diluted down to 逐个追问股份还剩多少,别人都没被动过,问到当事人自己时落差才露出来。
What was Mr. Zuckerberg's ownership share diluted down to?设局坑我、给我下套
看清文件内容后,Eduardo 当场说 You set me up,认定这一切是预先设好的局。
- You signed the papers. - You set me up.业务上的负责人
You're gonna blame me because you were the business head of the company,because 原因从句:because 引出原因,回答「凭什么怪我」。整句是反问:你要把责任推给我,只因为你是管业务的那个人?原因从句在这里不是在解释,而是在拆解对方的逻辑,把过失反扣回去。
You're gonna blame me because you were the business head of the company,做了一笔糟糕的交易
and you made a bad business deal with your own company?will 一般将来时:won't be 是将来时的否定,后面 like 引出的从句描述一种状态:不会弄成「你不属于 Facebook」那样。这句表面安抚,下一句立刻翻脸,语法上的将来和事实上的现在形成强烈对照。
It won't be like you're not a part of Facebook.在刊头名单上
- My name's on the masthead. - You might wanna check again.再查一遍
- My name's on the masthead. - You might wanna check again.招摇、四处显摆
You think we'd let you parade around in your ridiculous suits, pretending you were running this company?假装自己在经营
You think we'd let you parade around in your ridiculous suits, pretending you were running this company?现在分词作状语:pretending 引出的分词短语补充说明 parade around 是在什么状态下发生的:一边招摇,一边假装自己在管公司。它不另起一句,所以嘲讽刺得更快。中文常拆成「还假装」,英文用这个分词形式直接挂上去。
You think we'd let you parade around in your ridiculous suits, pretending you were running this company?在干洗店
Sorry, my Prada's at the cleaner's!混蛋、人渣(骂人)——侮辱性很强的骂词,指自以为是的讨厌人;私下暴怒时才用,任何正式或公开场合都不能说。
Along with my hoodie and my fuck-you flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag!带着「去你的」意味的——把最脏的骂词当形容词用,表示挑衅和不屑;绝对粗俗,只在极端情绪里出现,正式场合禁用。
Along with my hoodie and my fuck-you flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag!你该走了
Security's here. You'll be leaving now.不签那些文件
- I'm not signing those papers. - We will get the signature.拿到签字
- I'm not signing those papers. - We will get the signature.放料、编造那篇报道
You... You did it. I knew you did it. You planted that story about the chicken!虐待动物
- You had me accused of animal cruelty. - Seriously. What the hell's the chicken?到底……搞什么——加在疑问句里表示不解或恼火的语气,比 what 更冲;朋友间常见,对长辈或正式场合要换成 what on earth。
- You had me accused of animal cruelty. - Seriously. What the hell's the chicken?联合创始人
And I'll bet what you hated the most is that they identified me as a co-founder of Facebook.找律师、请好律师应对
Eduardo 扔下最后一句 You better lawyer up, asshole,宣告这场翻脸要上法庭。
Which I am. You better lawyer up, asshole.lawyer 词尾的 r 滑进 up,两词一口气连上,重音落在 law。
Which I am. You better lawyer up, asshole.混蛋、蠢货(骂人)——常见的粗俗骂词,攻击性强;朋友间玩闹可勉强用,对陌生人、职场、公开场合都是直接的侮辱。
Which I am. You better lawyer up, asshole.You're not a part of Facebook.你不再是 Facebook 的一部分了。 把前面所有安抚一次掀翻:不是像不是,就是不是。最短的句子完成最彻底的剥离。
It won't be like you're not a part of Facebook.别人不会觉得你不属于 Facebook。 用否定的双重包装抛出一句安抚:表面上还留位置,下一句就把门关上。先说好看的话,是背叛最体面的开场。
You think we'd let you parade around in your ridiculous suits, pretending you were running this company?你以为我们会让你穿着可笑的西装到处招摇,假装在经营这家公司吗? 把对方的尊严拆成两件道具:可笑的西装和假装的身份。反问里全是轻蔑,也宣告了谁才是真正做主的人。
And I'll bet what you hated the most is that they identified me as a co-founder of Facebook.我敢打赌,你最恨的是他们把我写成了 Facebook 的联合创始人。 把对方的愤怒归到一句身份上:你要抹掉的不是股份,是我的名字。它点出了这场官司真正的伤口。
意思是「找律师、请好律师应对」,多用在要打官司或准备对抗的场合。台词里说 You better lawyer up(你最好去请律师),是撂狠话,等于宣告要打官司。
You set me up。set someone up 指出于算计给某人下套。台词里一句 You set me up 把整场冲突的性质点明:这不是误会,而是有预谋的安排。
意思是「难以拒绝」,常形容条件好到让人没法说不的报价或邀请。台词里说这是一份 hard to turn down 的投资要约,话里已经带上了圈套味。
shares diluted 或 diluted down to。dilute 本是「把浓度冲淡」,用在股权上指新增股份把原股东的占比摊薄。台词里反复问 diluted down to 多少,就是在算谁被挤掉了。
意思是「招摇过市、到处显摆」,带贬义。台词里讽刺对方穿一身可笑西装、假装在经营公司,就是 You think we'd let you parade around。
