会议室里,一摞文件推到爱德华多面前:前两份是普通股协议,第三份是换股协议,最后一份是投票权协议;旧股 worthless(一文不值),他还得签字。他签完才明白,这等于 signing your own death certificate(签下自己的死刑判决书)。想学怎么讲合同、怎么复盘一笔糊涂账,这段最典型。
律所会议室里,四份文件摆到爱德华多面前:普通股认购协议、换股协议,最后是 voting holding agreement(投票权持有协议)。对方解释,这些是买新股的,换掉的旧股现已 worthless(一文不值),可能还得稀释股权去 award shares to new investors(把股份发给新投资人)。他几乎没细看就签了,还说 I can live with that(这个我能接受)。多年后庭上回顾,他只能承认 It was insanely stupid of me not to have my own lawyers look over all the...(蠢到没让自己的律师把关),并补上 In all honesty, I thought they were my lawyers(老实说,我以为他们就是我的律师)。更扎心的是那句 I was your only friend(我曾是你唯一的朋友)。想学怎么讲协议、怎么复盘教训,这一章全是句。

购买协议
The first two are common stock purchase agreements, allowing you to buy stock in the newly reincorporated Facebook,allow sb to do:allowing you to buy 是现在分词短语,补充说明这两份协议的作用:它们让你能买新公司的股票。allow 后面要先接人,再接送人去做的事,中间必须有 to。用分词而不是另起一句,语气像在念合同条款。
The first two are common stock purchase agreements, allowing you to buy stock in the newly reincorporated Facebook,与……相对、而不是
律师解释新股和旧股的区别:new shares,as opposed to the old shares, which are now worthless。
as opposed to the old shares, which are now worthless.which 定语从句:which are now worthless 用逗号隔开,补充说明旧股现在的处境,不限定前面是哪些股。它在告诉爱德华多:你手里原来的东西已经一文不值,所以更要看清新协议。中文常另起一句,英文用 which 挂上去,语气更冷。
as opposed to the old shares, which are now worthless.用 A 换 B
The third is an exchange agreement allowing you to exchange the old shares for new shares,股份
How many shares of stock will I own?Jesus 和 Christ 两个词都重读,中间稍顿,情绪才顶得出来。
Jesus Christ.天哪、我靠(惊叹或烦躁)——拿宗教名字当感叹词,表示震惊或恼火;朋友间常见,部分人视为不敬,正式场合、宗教场合要避免。
Jesus Christ.稀释(股份)
'Cause you may need to dilute it to award shares to new investors.把股份授予某人
'Cause you may need to dilute it to award shares to new investors.dilute 的词尾 t 勾住 it,it 再轻贴 to,常连成 /daɪˈluːtɪtə/,中间不停。
'Cause you may need to dilute it to award shares to new investors.需要被保护
Well, Mark doesn't care about money and he needs to be protected.可以接受、能忍
听说明克要留 7% 等安排后,Eduardo 说 I can live with that,表示这个结果他认了。
I can live with that.你想不想……
Would you like to use my pen?Would you 常弱化为 /wʊdʒə/,like to 也轻轻滑过,重音压在 pen 上。
Would you like to use my pen?把问题重复一遍
Can you please repeat the question?诱导性问题
律师想再念一遍那句诱导性提问,对方抗议:it was an outrageously leading question the first time around。
No, it was an outrageously leading question the first time around,听第二遍
and now you want us to hear it twice?把内容念回来、复述
Yes. Would you read it back, please?签下自己的死刑判决书
律师在庭上引用那句话问他:were you aware that you were signing your own death certificate?
"Counsel: 'And when you signed these documents, "'were you aware that you were signing your own death certificate?"'it 形式主语:it 是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的 not to have my own lawyers look over。of me 点出这个判断评价的是谁,说某人做某事很蠢。用 not to have 的否定形式,等于承认当时的疏忽。中文说「我蠢就蠢在没……」正是这个结构。
It was insanely stupid of me not to have my own lawyers look over all the...蠢到极点——insanely 当程度副词加强语气,比 very 更夸张;自责或吐槽时用,对别人说就是骂人。
It was insanely stupid of me not to have my own lawyers look over all the...说实话、老实讲
Eduardo 承认:In all honesty, I thought they were my lawyers,把最致命的天真说了出来。
In all honesty, I thought they were my lawyers.签了那些文件
Okay, Eduardo, did Mr. Zuckerberg say anything to you after you signed the papers?至少
He'd already told me that he wouldn't be coming back to school for at least a semester,过去完成时:He'd already told me 是过去完成时,表示在签字之前他就已经说过,先后的时间顺序被 had 标出来。后面 that 从句用 wouldn't be coming,是从当时视角谈未来。整句把「他早说过」和「我本该听懂」连在一起。
He'd already told me that he wouldn't be coming back to school for at least a semester,暂时告别
so we were saying goodbye for a while.大概在……前后
Somewhere around the end of November or early December.给某人办一场派对
Peter wants to throw us an amazing party when we hit a million members.达到某个数字
Peter wants to throw us an amazing party when we hit a million members.when 时间状语:when 引导时间状语从句,前面是主句 Peter wants to throw us a party,后面交代办派对的条件和时间点。从句用一般现在时 hit,主句用 wants,表示这是对将来的计划。中文的「等我们……就……」,正是这个结构。
Peter wants to throw us an amazing party when we hit a million members.失控、嗨到收不住
It's gonna be out of control. You gotta come back for it.为了某事回来
It's gonna be out of control. You gotta come back for it.out 的 t 弹向 of,of 常弱化为 əv,再直接滑到 control,重音落在 trol。
It's gonna be out of control. You gotta come back for it.失控;这里指嗨到收不住——字面是失去控制,口语里常形容派对、场面热闹到极点;朋友间兴奋地说说可以,正式描述事故时只取「失控」本义。
It's gonna be out of control. You gotta come back for it.还记得那个算法吗
Remember the algorithm on the window at Kirkland?I was your only friend.我是你唯一的朋友。 五个词,是全片最重的一句控诉:你只剩下我一个人,而我正是你骗的人。友情和背叛在这里合成一句话。
In all honesty, I thought they were my lawyers.老实说,我以为他们是我这边的律师。 一句天真到残酷的自白:他把对手的律师当成了自己的。全片最贵的一次信任,就输在这句以为。
My father won't even look at me.我爸都不愿意看我一眼。 不喊痛,只讲一个动作:连父亲都不肯看他。被排除在外的羞耻,比金钱的损失更沉。
It's gonna be out of control. You gotta come back for it.那场面会嗨到收不住。你得回来。 用「失控」当褒义词来劝人赴约:越乱越值得来。它把一场派对说成不容错过的入场券。
It was insanely stupid of me not to have my own lawyers look over all the...我蠢就蠢在,没让自己律师把那些……都过一遍。 把「没请自己的律师」说成一句认罪:不是被骗,是失职。说到一半的省略号,比说完更沉。
字面是「签下自己的死刑判决书」,比喻亲手把自己送进绝境。台词里律师问爱德华多签字时知不知道自己在签死亡判决书,就是说他签的稀释协议等于自毁股权。
意思是「说实话、老实讲」,常用来引出坦白或不太光彩的实话。台词里 In all honesty, I thought they were my lawyers(老实说,我以为他们就是我的律师),带着后悔和自嘲。
意思是「可以接受、能忍」,不是喜欢,而是勉强能过关。台词里 I can live with that 就是「这个我能接受」,谈判里表示这条件还凑合。
as opposed to,用来把两件事对照,强调「是前者,不是后者」。比如买新股 as opposed to the old shares,就是「而不是旧股」,写正式说明时很好用。
指「诱导性问题」,提问方式已经暗示了想要的答案。台词里吐槽对方的问题 outrageously leading(极其诱导),就是嫌它早就把结论塞进问法里。
