搬走、搬出去
I was helping her move out, we saw the chimney...The Social Network · 2010 — 第 18 / 23 章 · 5'04" · B2
肖恩·帕克突然出现在帕洛阿尔托的房子,一见马克就说这是个 once-in-a-generation(一代才有一次)的点子。他讲自己创办 Napster 的往事,鼓动马克别被风投牵着走,要自己当那个说了算的人。想学怎么给创业者打鸡血、怎么把野心说出口,这一段最有戏。
肖恩·帕克来到帕洛阿尔托的房子,对马克大谈未来。他先夸这场面:This house and this team are great(这房子和团队都很棒)。接着讲了个寓言:维多利亚的秘密创始人本想给妻子买内衣,却因此发家,五年后从金门大桥跳了下去——Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh-highs(可怜的人,只想给老婆买双过膝袜)。他还讲自己创办 Napster 的动机,是想把喜欢的女孩从别人身边抢走。最后他鼓动马克别让风投接手,This is our time(这是我们的时代),要递上写着 I'm CEO, bitch 的名片。想学讲故事、下判断和赤裸裸的野心宣言,这段台词密度最高。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
That's what I'm talking aboutthe next big thingtake it from hereI'm CEO, bitch.
本章短语
这才对、我要的就是这个That is exactly what I want
看见有人戴上耳机完全沉进工作,Sean 脱口 That's what I'm talking about,用这句话给这种投入盖章。
You finished it a day early? That's what I'm talking about.你提前一天就做完了?这才对嘛。

搬走、搬出去
I was helping her move out, we saw the chimney...做了正确的选择
You made the right choice.正是它该有的样子
This house and this team are great. It's exactly what it should be.在线、连上了网络
Oh, he's wired in.在线、接入网络、时刻连着——口语里形容一个人随时泡在网上,或设备已联网;朋友间调侃常用,正式场合说「总在线」更稳。
Oh, he's wired in.在那边借住、蹭住
I was crashing there for a little bit while I'm taking care of some things,某人的住处
but she's done for the summer so she's back at her parents' place.大腕、风云人物
- The homeless rock star of Palo Alto. - All right.hundred 的词尾 d 滑向 schools,常连成 /ˈhʌndrədskulz/,重音压在 hun 上。
A hundred schools by the end of the summer.尴尬到没法做某事
but he's too embarrassed to shop for it in a department store.too ... to 结构:too embarrassed to shop 表示「尴尬到没法去做某事」:too 后面的形容词指出程度,to 后面接因此做不成的动作。它和单纯加强程度的说法不同,那种只说程度高,too 暗含后果是做不到。中文的「尴尬到不敢」,正是这个结构的意思。
but he's too embarrassed to shop for it in a department store.想出、提出
He comes up with an idea for a high-end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert.高端的、高档的
He comes up with an idea for a high-end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert.觉得自己像个变态
He comes up with an idea for a high-end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert.一双、一对
Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh-highs, you know?被某物打动、被镇住
- God. - Don't be impressed by all this.蠢货、白痴——骂人智商的词,带轻蔑;朋友间自嘲或开玩笑可以,对陌生人、正式场合就是人身攻击。
You know, no, that was for web cretins.下一件大事、即将爆火的东西
他讲自己为什么动手做那个项目:想把喜欢的人抢过来,于是决定做出 the next big thing,把这件事说成一场非赢不可的证明。
So I decided to come up with the next big thing.把很多人惹恼了
It may not have been good business, but it pissed a lot of people off.may have 推测:may have been 是对过去情况的推测,表示「也许当时算不上……」。这里先让一步承认它不是好生意,再用 but 把重点转到「但它气到了很多人」。这种先退后进的让步结构,让后半句的立场更突出。中文说「也许算不上」,英文用 may have been 对位。
It may not have been good business, but it pissed a lot of people off.反问句:isn't that ... 是反问句式,用否定形式其实是要对方点头:难道你那东西不是这个意思吗。what your Facemash was about 是表语从句,回答的是 about 的宾语。反问让结论显得不容反驳,比直接说 that is what it was about 有力得多。
And isn't that what your Facemash was about?怕某人
They're scared of me, pal, and they're gonna be scared of you.scared 的词尾 d 连上 of,of 再滑向 me,听上去像 scare-də-me。
They're scared of me, pal, and they're gonna be scared of you.老兄、哥们儿——男性之间带点居高临下或套近乎的称呼;对上级、不熟的人用会显得轻慢,正式场合避免。
They're scared of me, pal, and they're gonna be scared of you.接下来交给某人接手
Sean 模仿风投的口气说 the grown-ups will take it from here,讽刺他们总想把年轻人踢出局。
What the VCs want is to say, "Good idea, kid, the grown-ups will take it from here."what 主语从句:what the VCs want 是主语从句,整块当主语,后面用 is 接表语 to say。这种语序把「风投想要什么」放到句首,先摆出对方的立场,再揭它的台词。中文说「风投想要的就是说」,英文也用 what 从句先立主题。
What the VCs want is to say, "Good idea, kid, the grown-ups will take it from here."CEO 三个字母要逐个重读并拉开,比周围任何词都响,才有那股气势。
This time, you're gonna hand them a business card that says, "I'm CEO, bitch."贱人(这里当语气词用,表挑衅)——对女性的侮辱性骂词,攻击性极强;本场是肖恩教马克用来放狠话,并非称呼在场任何人。日常对任何人都不能用。
This time, you're gonna hand them a business card that says, "I'm CEO, bitch."拍某人马屁
- He's in New York. - Sucking up to ad execs.拍马屁、讨好——贬义说法,指为了好处去奉承有资源的人;私下吐槽可用,当面评价同事、上级会得罪人。
- He's in New York. - Sucking up to ad execs.把全部身心扑在某事上
- Do you live and breathe Facebook? - Yes.拍马屁、巴结
but he shouldn't be in New York kissing Madison Avenue's ass.屁股(用在拍马屁的固定说法里)——kiss someone's ass 是粗俗版的巴结,等于「舔」。表达强烈不满时才用,职场、正式场合要换成「奉承」这类中性说法。
but he shouldn't be in New York kissing Madison Avenue's ass.一代才有一次的
This is a once-in-a-generation, "holy shit" idea.表示诚意的举动
Tell you what. Gesture of good faith.if 条件句:if 从句用一般现在时否定,主句用 should 给建议:如果你没地方住,就该来跟我们住。条件句在这里不是谈事实,而是制造一个顺水推舟的理由,把邀请说得像对方的需要。中文的「你要是没地方住」,语气一样是替人先想好。
If you don't have a place to crash, I think you should definitely come and live with us.摆一排酒、准备几杯
Let's line up some shots.line 的词尾 n 直接勾住 up,常连成 /laɪnʌp/,两个词几乎黏成一个。
Let's line up some shots.This time, you're gonna hand them a business card that says, "I'm CEO, bitch."这一次,你要递给他们一张名片,上面写着:「我是 CEO,贱人。」 把职位和脏话焊在一张名片上,等于用最不体面的方式宣布最正式的权力。这是肖恩给马克上的姿态课,也是全片最有攻击性的野心宣言。
They're scared of me, pal, and they're gonna be scared of you.他们怕我,老兄,他们也一样会怕你。 把恐惧当成可以交接的资产:我怕过,所以我知道他们会怕你。一句话把两个人的命运绑在一起。
But not this time. This is our time.但这一次不一样。这是我们的时代。 两个短句划出分界:过去的规则到此为止,接下来归我们。它把一场晚餐后的闲谈抬成了改朝换代的开场白。
This is a once-in-a-generation, "holy shit" idea.这是一代才出一次、牛逼到吓人的点子。 把夸张说成事实:用「一代一次」给机会定价,再用一句粗口给它盖戳。野心被包装成了产品评估。
Look at my face and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.看着我的脸,告诉我我不知道自己在说什么。 用最直接的对视来担保自己的判断:不相信我的话,就看着我说。它把说服力押在人的脸上,而不是道理上。
字面是「活着都在呼吸这件事」,实际指整个人扑在某件事上、离了就活不了。台词里问 Do you live and breathe Facebook(你是不是为 Facebook 活着),就是在确认这份投入。
suck up to。台词里说爱德华多 Sucking up to ad execs(在拍广告高管的马屁),带点看不起的口气,比 flatter 更口语。
意思是「一代才有一次的、极其罕见的」,用来形容难得一遇的机会或人才。台词里夸这是个 once-in-a-generation 的点子,等于说错过就再也没有。
take it from here。台词里模拟风投的口气:Good idea, kid, the grown-ups will take it from here(好主意,孩子,接下来交给大人),正是这种态度让肖恩反感。
在骂爱德华多跑去纽约讨好广告圈。Madison Avenue 指广告业,kissing someone's ass 指卑躬屈膝。这句话一半是调侃一半是不满,也为后面的冲突埋线。
