SCENE② B 隔周,吉娜到老板的隔間去看他
【我要提供你認(rèn)股權(quán)】
Vince: I want to 1) offer you more InfoKing stock options.
文斯: 我要提供你資訊王的認(rèn)股權(quán)。
Zina: When you hired me, you knew you were going to be low on cash, didn't you?
吉娜: 你在雇用我的當(dāng)時(shí),就知道你會(huì)缺現(xiàn)金,對(duì)吧?
Vince: Let me explain. To get more cash, I'll have to borrow more from Vikam, the 2) venture 3) capitalists.
文斯: 容我解釋。為了要有更多現(xiàn)金,我就得跟投資我們的維康創(chuàng)投借更多的錢。
Zina: I know how it works. You don't want to give away any more of your future 4) profits than you have to.
吉娜: 我知道這種運(yùn)作方式。除非萬不得已,你不會(huì)想把更多未來的利潤(rùn)拱手讓人。
Vince: Exactly. Instead of 5) increasing their 6) position, I want to increase yours.
文斯: 正是。我不增加他們的股權(quán),反倒要增加你的。
語言詳解
A: I'm going to offer you a position in our sales department.
我要提供我們業(yè)務(wù)部的一個(gè)職位給你。
B: Thank you.
謝謝您。
【I know how it works. 我知道規(guī)矩?!?
這里的work不是指“工作”,而是指“事物運(yùn)作的道理與規(guī)范”,類似于行規(guī)的概念:
A:I am afraid we are going to have to fire you.
我恐怕我們得要開除你了。
B:It's OK, I know how it works. You just don't like me.
沒關(guān)系,我知道行規(guī)。你就是看不慣我。
【give away 送掉】
give away 這個(gè)短語看起來很簡(jiǎn)單,不過有許多常用的意思,對(duì)話中所用到的give away 是指“贈(zèng)送”。
A: Why did you give your bicycle away?
你為何把你的腳踏車送掉了?
B: It's too old. I want to get a new one anyway.
那臺(tái)太老了。反正我要換新的。
