表达了疑虑
"When we met in January, I expressed my doubts about the site.The Social Network · 2010 — 第 12 / 23 章 · 1'37" · C1
取证现场,对方律师问扎克伯格是否 full attention(全神贯注),他先敷衍说在下雨;被追着问「你配得上我全部注意力吗」,他干脆回:You have the minimum amount(你只有最低限度的那点)。最后还补一句 Did I adequately answer your condescending question(这算不算回答了你那个居高临下的问题)。想学冷到底的怼人,这段教科书级。
这是一场庭外取证。对方律师一条条追问:扎克伯格是不是 lead them on(吊着温克沃斯兄弟)吊了六个星期,为什么之前不提出顾虑。他一会儿说「下雨了」,一会儿答得漫不经心,直到对方质问 Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention(扎克伯格先生,你的注意力在我这儿吗)。他答 No,并把话说到底:You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount(你有我一部分注意力,最低限度的那种),理由是他在取证前 swear an oath(宣过誓),不能作伪证。最后他甩出 Did I adequately answer your condescending question(我这样回答你这个居高临下的问题,够充分了吗)。想学冷面反击、怎么把话说到对方下不来台,这一段是范本。

表达了疑虑
"When we met in January, I expressed my doubts about the site.应对、处理
"The lack of hardware we had to deal with site use,缺少……
"the lack of promotion that would go on to successfully launch the website."提出顾虑
This was the first time you raised any of those concerns, right?胡说、放屁——极粗的骂人话,宣布对方在说假话;朋友间偶尔可用,正式场合、法庭、对长辈绝对不能用。
- Bullshit. - Not to us.换个说法
Let me rephrase this.吊着某人、给假希望
律师问 Were you leading them on for six weeks,指控 Mark 一直让兄弟俩误以为他会接手。
- Were you leading them on for six weeks? - No.全部注意力
Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?配得上、应得
Do you think I deserve it?宣誓
Mark 说 I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition,用誓言给自己随后的无礼找依据。
I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition作伪证
and I don't wanna perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.perjure 重音在第一个音节,myself 重音在后。
and I don't wanna perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.踩在别人肩上充高
I think if your clients wanna sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall,if 条件从句:if 引导条件,先立一个画面:你的客户想踩在我肩上自称高个。条件句把挑衅摊开,主句再说他们有权利试。
I think if your clients wanna sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall,让他们试试
Mark 说 they have a right to give it a try,表面上大方地允许对方一试。
they have a right to give it a try,没有规定必须……
but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie.there be 加同位语从句:there's no requirement that 是存在句加同位语从句,说明不存在我必须享受这一切的规定,语气冷淡又严密。
but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie.最低限度的那点
Mark 对律师说 You have the minimum amount,承认只给了对方最低限度的注意力。
You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount.minimum 三个音节,重音在最前,amount 重音在后。
You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount.我其余的那点注意力
The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook,rest of my 常连成一串,of 弱化成 /əv/,my 也轻,重音落在 attention 的第二个音节,前面几个词快速滑过。
The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook,包括、尤其是
where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients,有能力做某事
Mark 说这屋里没人,包括尤其你的客户,are intellectually or creatively capable of doing,把这些成果说成别人做不到的事。
are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.be capable of doing:be capable of doing 表示有能力做到某事,前面用 intellectually 和 creatively 两个副词并列,把差距说到能力层面。
are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.充分回答
Did I adequately answer your condescending question?Did I adequately answer your condescending question?我这样回答你这个居高临下的问题,够充分了吗? 用敬语把刀递回去,condescending 一词点破对方姿态,傲慢得彬彬有礼。
You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount.你得到了我的一部分注意力。你得到的是最低限度。 把注意力变成可计量的东西,再当面报出一个难堪的数字,比脏话更伤人。
Do you think I deserve your full attention?你觉得我配得上你全部的注意力吗? 把质问原样扔回去,简短一问让对方的傲慢自己现形。
Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?扎克伯格先生,你有把全部注意力放在我这儿吗? 把注意力当庭对账:先点名,再发问,冷静得像在通告——你走神的每一秒都被记下了。
字面是「最低的量」,台词里指「最低限度的注意力」,等于告诉对方「我根本没把你当回事」。这句话的杀伤力在于它用很平的词,完成了最直接的羞辱。
意思是「吊着某人、给对方假希望」,常用在感情里,也可以指合作上一直敷衍、迟迟不明确表态。台词里律师怀疑有人吊了温克沃斯兄弟六个星期,用的就是 lead them on。
指正式宣誓,在法庭或取证这类场合,宣誓后说的话有法律效力,说谎就是作伪证。台词里一句 I don't wanna perjure myself(我不想作伪证),就是拿这个当理由,理直气壮地说 no。
condescending question。condescending 指「带着优越感、居高临下」。台词里 Did I adequately answer your condescending question,表面问「够充分了吗」,实际是在反讽对方的态度。
他用「下雨了」岔开话题,用最低限度的回答消极抵抗。这既是他对这场取证的不屑,也是他惯用的姿态:用智力上的优越感把对方一步步逼到难堪。
