这场戏：交易大厅打鸡血演讲
第 15 章 · 共 30 章 · 2'36"
乔丹站在交易大厅里，对着一屋子经纪人抛出那句 There is no nobility in poverty.（贫穷里没有高贵可言），又让大家 take a good look at the person next to you（仔细看看你旁边那个人），说 in the not-so-distant future（在不久的将来）你们一个开保时捷、一个挤破车。想学怎么把话说狠、把士气点着，这段是演讲教科书。
❝ 独白 · 6 句 贫穷与富有的开场白
用亲历当论据，两句话就把「我为什么选有钱」讲得不容置疑。
❝ 独白 · 10 句 deal with 就是「处理、应对」
behind on 拖欠、落后于应缴Pick up the phone 拿起电话deal with 处理、应对
这是乔丹给全公司打鸡血的著名演讲。他先抛出一个论断：There is no nobility in poverty.（贫穷里没有高贵可言），说自己当过富人也当过穷人，每一次都选当富人。接着他拿街上等红灯的两个人做对比：in the not-so-distant future（在不久的将来），你开一辆破平托，旁边那位开崭新保时捷、身边是漂亮老婆。他让大家 take a good look at the person next to you（仔细看看旁边那个人），谁觉得他 superficial（肤浅）或 materialistic（物质至上），就滚去麦当劳打工。最后他喊：用变有钱来解决你的问题，把股票 down your clients' throats（硬塞给客户），今晚要 out of the park（大获全胜）。想学怎么激励团队、怎么把话说得又狠又燃，这段全是料。

“There is no nobility in poverty.”
贫穷里没有高贵可言。
一句话翻掉穷要穷得有志气的说法，把野心摆到台面上。
There is no ... in ...
反驳虚高的道德说辞时用；对清贫的人当面说会显得刻薄。
There is no glory in being broke. ／ Poverty is not a virtue.
正式
no nobility 重读，in poverty 放低收尾。
There is no honor in staying silent. 一味沉默并没有什么光彩。
“I have been a rich man and I have been a poor man.”
我当过富人，也当过穷人。
用亲身经历当论据，两个分句一摆，立场就有了底气。
I have been ... and I have been ...
用亲身经历说服别人时用；资历不够时这样说会被追问。
I have been on both sides of this. ／ I have known both plenty and want.
中性
两个 have been 都轻读，rich 和 poor 对照重读。
I have been a student and I have been a teacher. 我当过学生，也当过老师。
“I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich!”
我要你靠变得有钱来解决你的问题！
把发财直接当成解决一切的手段，狂得干脆也没法反驳。
deal with something by doing something
半玩笑地催人上进时用；对正在难处的人说会像风凉话。
Solve your problems by getting better at your job. ／ Fix it by working twice as hard.
口语
deal with 连读，by becoming rich 一路推上去。
Deal with your debt by earning more. 靠多赚钱来解决你的债务。
“And I choose rich every fucking time.”
而我他妈每次都选有钱。
把选择的立场喊成口号，直白、有劲，是全片的信条。
And I choose X every time
表明自己毫不掩饰的取向时能用；对讲究含蓄的场合别这么赤裸。
I'll take the money every time. ／ I pick the rich option, always.
口语
And I 连读，choose 重读，every fucking time 逐词加重。
Give me the harder job and the bigger check every time. 每次都给我更难的工作和更大的支票。
Let me tell you something. There is no nobility in poverty. I have been a rich man and I have been a poor man. And I choose rich every fucking time. Because at least as a rich man, when I have to face my problems, I show up in the back of a limo,
我跟你说件事。 贫穷里没有高贵可言。 我当过富人，也当过穷人。 每一次我都会选当富人。 因为至少当富人时，我面对问题时， 是坐着豪车后座去的，
So you listen to me and you listen well. Are you behind on your credit card bills? Good! Pick up the phone and start dialing! Is your landlord ready to evict you? Good! Pick up the phone and start dialing! Does your girlfriend think you're a fucking worthless loser? Good! Pick up the phone and start dialing! I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich! All you have to do today is pick up that phone and speak the words that I have taught you. And I will make you richer than the most powerful CEO in the United States of fucking America!
所以你给我听好了，听仔细了。 你信用卡账单逾期了吗？ 很好！拿起电话开始拨号！ 房东要把你赶出去了吗？很好！ 拿起电话开始拨号！ 你女朋友觉得你是个没用的废物吗？ 很好！拿起电话开始拨号！ 我要你靠变得有钱来解决你的问题！ 你今天要做的，就是拿起那部电话，说出我教你的那些话。 我会让你比这该死的美国最有权势的总裁还有钱！
下一章 · 16for the life of me我死活都想不通这场戏：一纸传票索要婚礼录像意思是「贫穷里没有高贵可言」，乔丹用它反驳「安贫乐道」的说法：既然穷不会让人更高尚，那就干脆去赚钱。
not-so-distant future。sometime in the not-so-distant future 就是「在不久的将来某一天」，语气比 soon 更具体、更有画面。
out of the park，来自棒球打出全垒打。knock it out of the park 就是「一棒打出场外」，引申为把事情做得极其漂亮。
behind on。Are you behind on your credit card bills? 就是「你信用卡账单逾期了吗？」behind on 就是拖欠、没按时交。
意思是「物质至上的、只认钱物」。乔丹反问谁觉得他 superficial or materialistic，其实把这两个词当成勋章，谁看不惯谁走人。
