庭上复盘脸书爆红:Facebook me

庭上被问到脸书刚上线的样子,回答干脆:It exploded(它炸了),Everybody on campus was using it(校园里人人都在用)。两周后,「Facebook me(在脸书上找我)」已经成了口头禅。想学怎么描述一款产品突然爆火、怎么把品牌名当动词用,这段最典型。

发生了什么

这场在庭上展开:律师问脸书刚上线后发生了什么,回答很短:It exploded(它炸了)、Everybody on campus was using it(校园里人人都在用),还说 "Facebook me" was a common expression after two weeks(两周后「脸书上找我」成了口头禅)。插叙里,另一段则搬出盖茨的故事作对照,说如今 the rest of the story(故事的其余部分)未必人人清楚。回到校园,女生告别时真的说 Facebook me when you get home(你到家后 Facebook 我一下),还提议 grab a drink(出去喝一杯)。想学怎么形容爆火、怎么把品牌名动词化,这一章素材最全。

语法 · B2most of you think you know the rest of the story

most of you 作主语:most of you 是你们中的大多数,of you 后接复数概念,谓语用 think 原形;它把听众笼统地框进来,再补一句 but you may not。

看懂「庭上复盘脸书爆红」

发音重点

  • It exploded — exploded 重音在第二音节,It 轻轻带过。
  • gonna happen — gonna 吞音成 gonna,happen 重音落在第一个音节。
  • Facebook me when you get home — Facebook me 连读,when you 连成 when-chu,get home 收尾干脆。
"Facebook me" was a common expression after two weeks.

两周之后,「Facebook me」就成了常用说法。 用一句语言学的观察证明产品的胜利:品牌名变成口头禅,就不再是工具。

"Look, it's gonna happen without us. We've gotta start now."

「听着,这事不等我们也会发生。我们现在就得动手。」 把紧迫感说成一种外部事实:机会不会等你。一句判局势,一句催行动。

Now, most of you think you know the rest of the story, but you may not.

现在,你们大多数人以为知道故事的其余部分,但你们未必。 讲师式的漂亮转折:先夸听众以为知道,再一句「但未必」把注意力全收回来。

Everybody on campus was using it.

校园里人人都在用。 一句话交代产品爆发:不用数字,用「人人」两个字就够。

关于这一章的问题

Facebook me 是什么意思?

字面是「Facebook 我一下」,意思是在脸书上找我、给我发消息。它是把品牌名当动词用的典型,台词里说两周后它就成了口头禅,可见产品火到什么程度。

「去喝一杯」英语怎么说?

grab a drink,也可以说 grab a coffee。grab 有「顺手拿」的随意感,所以听起来轻松、不像正式邀约,适合朋友之间约。

go through 是什么意思?

意思是「经历、过一遍」。台词里 we already went through this 就是「这事我们已经过过一遍了」,谈事情、复盘流程时很常用。

「故事的其余部分」英语怎么说?

the rest of the story,rest 指剩下、其余。台词里说大多数人都以为自己知道 the rest of the story,其实未必,语气里有点故弄玄虚。

It exploded 是字面意思吗?

通常不是。这里指产品一下就爆火、用户量猛涨,不是真的爆炸。想形容某个东西突然流行,英语常用 explode,比 became popular 更有爆发感。
