SCENE

Zina:           I need to be 2) motivated, Vince. 3) Multi-motivated.  As in multi-million.


吉娜:         我得要有动力,文斯。多重动力,多重百万的多重。


 


Vince:  What if I said no?


文斯:         要是我说不呢?


 


Zina:  Ever hear of WebTracker?


吉娜:         有听过网路搜寻家吗?


 


Vince:  You wouldn't! If you leave, you'll make nothing.


文斯:         你不会那样吧!你若是离开,连半毛都赚不到。


 


Zina:           I might make nothing even if I stay. For that kind of risk, I want to get rich.


吉娜:         我留下搞不好也赚不到半毛。 基于这种风险,我要发财。


 


Vince:        OK. If you sign the Stars.com 4) account before WebTracker does, we'll talk next week.

语言详解


 


A: Don't you want to go and exercise?


     你不想在运动吗?


 


B: Yes, but I can't seem to get motivated.


     想,可是我没有动力。


 


 


【用 as in... 做补述】


 


as in这个短语是用来补述,好让意思能让人更明白,常用在解释拼字的时候:


 


A: My name is Meg.


     我叫做梅格。


B: Is that M as in Mary, E as in elephant, and G as in girl?


     那是Marymelephantegirlg吗?


 


as in可以用来进一步解释情况,犹如中文里的像……那种

B:  As in the all-you-can-eat kind? That's so cheap!


     是吃到饱的那种吗?还真便宜!


 


你也可以用as in来提问,以确定自己没有误会对方的意思:


 


A:  I made a million last year.


     我去年赚了一百万。


B:  Is that as in dollars?


     你说的一百万是美元吗?


 


1) share (n.) 股份


2) motivate (v.) 给予……动力


3) multi  多重的字首


4) account (n.) 客户尤指生意上往来的客



n.自助餐;饮食柜台;餐台
