给网站加功能并上线:bounce around

马克熬夜给 The Facebook 加上「Relationship Status」和「Interested In」,用 This is what drives life at college(这才是驱动大学生活的东西)点破灵感;他又借爱德华多的邮箱把网站群发出去,直到 The site's live(网站上线了)一出,熬夜的成果就此发布。想学讲产品灵感、宣布上线,这段最好用。

发生了什么

深夜宿舍里,马克还在改 The Facebook。他给网站加上 Relationship Status(恋爱状态)和 Interested In(兴趣对象),并解释:This is what drives life at college(这才是驱动大学生活的东西)——选课、坐哪儿、干什么,全绕着它转。产品逻辑讲通后,他借爱德华多的邮箱给凤凰俱乐部群发邀请,爱德华多担心被当成垃圾邮件,马克却说这些人有人脉,需要他们的邮箱。最后 The site's live(网站上线了)一出,熬夜做出的东西正式发布。想学讲需求、上线通知和说服搭档,这一章表达很实用。

发音重点

  • So when's it going live — when's it 常连成 wenzit,going 和 live 各自说清,重音落在 live 上,问句末尾音调上扬。
  • The site's live — site's 的 ts 与 live 相接,听起来像 site live,live 重读。
This is what drives life at college. "Are you having sex or aren't you?"

这才是驱动大学生活的东西。「你到底有没有在上床?」 用一个露骨又直白的问题概括整个社交动机:感情状态才是校园的发动机。把胜负手讲得再清楚不过。

People don't walk around with a sign on them that says...

人身上又不会挂块牌子写着…… 吐槽打听感情状况的荒谬:这些信息从不写在脸上。正是这个抱怨,反衬出关系状态功能为何必要。

It's why people take certain classes and sit where they sit and do what they do.

所以人们会选某些课、坐某些位子、做他们做的那些事。 用一串日常细节说明一个看不见的动机,排比推进,让人忽然看懂校园行为背后的逻辑。

You have no idea what that's gonna mean to my father.

你根本不知道那对我父亲意味着什么。 一句轻话里全是重量:父亲、家族、身份。它让「联合创始人」第一次有了人味,也预告了后来的翻脸。

关于这一章的问题

bounce around 是什么意思?

字面是「弹来弹去」,指邮件、消息在一小圈人里来回流转、转不出去。台词里担心只发给朋友就会 bounce around Dworkin,意思是传不出那栋宿舍楼。

「登录」英语怎么说?

log on,也可以说 log in,指登录网站或账号。台词里说 people are gonna log on,就是「人们会登进来」,和 sign up(注册)不是一回事。

happen to know 怎么用在打听?

意思是「碰巧知道」,把打听说得客气又不冒犯。台词里 Do you happen to know if she has a boyfriend(你知不知道她有没有男朋友)就是典型用法,适合问不太熟的人。

「上线」英语怎么说?

go live 或 be live,指网站、节目正式开始运行。台词里 The site's live 就是「网站上线了」,比 it's online 更地道。

what drives life at college 是什么意思?

意思是「驱动大学生活的到底是什么」。台词里马克用它解释为什么大家选某些课、坐某些位置,答案就是恋爱与社交,也是 The Facebook 的卖点。
