争论要不要开始赚钱：monetize
一边是爱德华多催着变现：It's time to monetize the thing（是时候让这东西赚钱了）；另一边马克死活不肯，还强调 That is a priceless asset I'm not giving up（那是无价的资产，我不放弃）。吵到一半，桌上冒出一封律师函，温克沃斯兄弟指控他们偷点子——This is our thing（这是我们俩的事）这句话，突然变得很刺耳。
发生了什么
网站越来越火，矛盾也跟着来了。一方主张 It's time to monetize the thing（是时候让这个东西赚钱了），另一方坚决反对：它之所以酷，就靠不加广告，还撂下 That is a priceless asset I'm not giving up（那是无价的资产，我绝不放弃）。就在两人争得面红耳赤时，一封律师函被翻出来，信里说点子是被偷走的；面对质疑，辩解是 They came to me with an idea, I had a better one（他们拿点子来找我，我有更好的），还说会做椅子的人不欠所有做过椅子的人钱。朋友追问为什么不早给他看信，他回 I didn't think it was a big deal（我觉得这没什么大不了），两人的信任从这里开始裂缝。想学谈钱和解释误会，这些句子都能用。

'Cause The Facebook is cool, and if we start installing pop-ups for Mountain Dew, it's not gonna be cool.if 条件主将从现：if 从句用一般现在时，主句用 be gonna，是按现状推断的假设：一旦装上弹窗，它就不酷了。条件一出口，结论就跟着来。

That is a priceless asset I'm not giving up.那是无价的资产，我不会交出去。 不解释理由，只亮出底线，一句话把原则说成不谈判。
Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever has built a chair, okay?听着，一个做出漂亮椅子的人，不欠所有做过椅子的人钱，好吧？ 用做椅子打比方拆掉「点子归你」的逻辑，通俗得像格言，又是整场官司的辩词。
Yes, have you ever heard so many different good things packed into one regular-sized sentence?是啊，你听过这么多好消息挤在一个普通长度的句子里吗？ 用夸张的反问把一句普通邀约说成天大的好事，机智又讨喜。
关于这一章的问题
monetize 是什么意思？
意思是「把……变现、开始赚钱」，多用在产品和生意上。台词里说 it's time to monetize the thing，就是主张该给网站找收入了。
「无价资产」英语怎么说？
a priceless asset，priceless 是「无价的、无法用钱衡量」，asset 是资产。台词里把「酷」称作无价资产，意思是比钱更重要。
「没什么大不了」英语怎么说？
not a big deal，也可以说 it's no big deal。台词里有人没把律师函当回事，说自己 didn't think it was a big deal，后来却成了大麻烦。
more than mildly annoying 怎么理解？
字面是「不止是轻微地烦」，mildly 是「轻微地」，more than 把它升级，等于说「可不止一点点烦」。用来自嘲或冷幽默地表达不满。
screw around with 是什么意思？
指跟某人耍花样、糊弄、不认真对待。台词里 Don't screw around with me now 就是「别跟我打马虎眼」，语气很直接。
