取证现场冷怼律师:the minimum amount

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。

发生了什么

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。

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。

关于这一章的问题

the minimum amount 在这里是什么意思?

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。

lead someone on 是什么意思?

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。

swear an oath 是什么场合用的?

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。

「居高临下的问题」英语怎么说?

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。

马克为什么看起来漫不经心?

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。
