我没骗自己 只是骗你了 I'm not lying to myself. I'm lying to you.
我知道稿子有点晚 但绝对值得 I know the manuscript is late, but it's worth it.
普林斯来奥尔巴尼了 他来旁观 Prince showed himself in Albany. He came to watch.

她回来的时候我见过她 I saw her since her return.

多谢你帮忙改写了 thanks you for the help with the rewrite.
该死 Dang it.
怪不得她拷问我 That's why she grilled me.
啊 她简直 Ha! She... Wow.
不聪明的人会认为她会等到 Less advanced person figures she'll wait
这本书公布或者发表 till the book is announced or published,
然后再解决问题 deal with the flack then.
但温迪·罗兹 她永远先人一步 But Wendy Rhoades, she shows everyone way ahead of time,
好像要听到我们的祝福和反馈 as if to get our blessing or feedback.
走在所有人前面 Gets in front of it all.
- 太聪明了 - 当然 - Smart. - Sure.
但很多人想要你毙掉这个 But a lot of our people want you to kill it.
或许你真应该这么做 And you probably should.
可能 Probably will.
我把问题最大的几篇做了标记 I already flagged the most damning passages.

有消息说普林斯 Die Informationen is that Prince has called

我在候选之列 I'm on the short list.
所以 我是来给你一个先入股的机会 And so, I'm here to give you the chance to throw in early,
保证你新的一天能在我的庇护之下 thereby securing your place at my elbow come the new morn.

你觉得我对这一点不满意吗 And don't you think I don't appreciate it.
我看好你做我的副手 I've got a good eye on you for a sub-leadership spot.
相当看好 A good eye.
很明智 Shrewd move.
迈克准备好这个继承计划 Mike puts a succession plan in place,
让投资者都觉得这是个模拟联合国 makes investors think this is the Model fucking U.N.,
结果让沙皇独自美丽 then they leave the czar the fuck alone.
没那么复杂 Nothing quite so complicated.
我只是想让公司更强 I just want the firm to be strong enough,
更具韧性以求振兴 哪怕是我走了 resilient enough to thrive, even if I'm gone.
有要发布的法律公告吗 Is there some legal announcement forthcoming,
或者我斗胆一说 你想表达什么预言呢 or dare I say, prognosis you would wish to impart?

如果我的G650私人飞机坠毁 if my G650 goes down,

指定继承者 我就能 By naming a successor, I can...

也就是我任期之内基金的表现 Ergo, the fund's accomplishments under my tenure.
迈克不收简历 Mike's not taking applications.
我也不会 I would never.
詹姆斯·加菲尔德是个好例子 James Garfield is the better model here.
第20届美国总统 进行了低调的前廊竞选
因为你的马甲吗 For that vest you're wearing?
詹姆斯·加菲尔不是最优秀的候选人 JG wasn't the showiest candidate.
甚至在他自己的提名大会上 Wasn't even on the first ballot
都没有进入第一轮投票 at his own nominating convention.
但当华而不实的外观褪去光彩 But as the shinier baubles lost their luster,
他就成了很可靠的选择 he began to emerge as the solid choice.
大家一致认可 The consensus choice.
希望我在这里也是如此 As I hope to do now,
就像第三十六轮投票 as opposed to on the 36th ballot.
在第三十六次投票中加菲尔德获胜
但这次竞选只有一轮投票 Well, there's only one ballot in this contest.
所以你没可能当选 Zero chance you are on it.
在这你可是国会议员 You're here as parliamentarian.
光荣的计票员 不是被选人 A glorified notetaker, really. Not a voting member.
都不会出现在选票上 Not even on the ballot.
请别再做那个动作了 Please don't do that again.
我们需要一个能代替你发言的人 We need a voice in who replaces you,
- 尽管很难找 - 如果你哪怕一丝考虑 - however unlikely that may be. - If you're even considering
把斯皮罗斯加到继任名单 putting Spyros in the line of succession...
- 绝无可能 - 很好 很好 - Zero chance. - Fine, fine.
选举早期 很少有让大家都满意的候选人 Consensus candidates rarely emerge in the early going.
我只需按兵不动 I'll just wait, steadily,
静候派系斗争上演 reliably, for the factionalism to brew.
但这是你们出现的时机正好 But your timing couldn't have been better.
我会从你们当中指定继任者 My designated successor will be one of you.
具体怎么指定 To be decided how, exactly?
我原本打算 让你们在下次会议发言 I was planning on having you speak at the next meeting.
看谁有好的想法 Battle of ideas.
但我们现在就可以开始 But why don't we put this thing on its feet?
从现在起 搞清楚你们要如何指挥 Start defining your command climate now
做好指挥的样子 and acting as-if.
很快你们就要接管这里 'Cause it is coming.
你希望我读这本书 And you're asking me to read this book?
我也不知道我想要什么 I don't know what I'm asking.
你知道 You do.
听从你的内心 告诉我 Now let yourself tell me.
我认为自己并非可怕的人 I don't think of myself as a fearful person
也不是优秀的战略家 or a particularly strategic thinker.
关于前者 As to the first,
生存就是要理解这种恐惧 the job of living is the job of understanding that fear.
后者的话 As to the second...
此时此刻 在这里 this, right here, is the place
我们不再欺骗自己是谁 we give up the lies we tell ourselves about who we are.
我最近跟某人说了几乎一样的话 I said something so similar to somebody recently.
但是 靠 没错 But, shit, yes.
丹尼尔 你说得对 在这里也一样 Daniel, yes. It applies here too.
今天我干了件事 有策略的因素 I did something that was both strategic
也有恐惧驱使 and driven by fear today.
我设法用这本书本身 I engineered a way to distract the subjects
来转移书中人物对它的注意 of the book with the book itself.
这样他们会来问我 是怎么描写他们的 That way, they would lobby me about how they were portrayed
而不像之前只听说有这本书 instead of if they'd only heard about it,
试图阻止我出版 trying to get me not to publish it.
你利用了他们的恐惧 同时屈服于自己的 So preying on their fear while giving in to your own.
我愿意相信 事实并非如此 I'd like to tell myself that's not the case.
你考虑过另一种做法吗 Have you considered the other choice?
不出版 Not publishing?
- 你认为我不该出版 - 不是 - You think I shouldn't publish? - No.
我没这么想 I'm not sharing that opinion.
我问的是另一个问题 I'm asking a different question.
假如暂不出版 是什么感觉 What would it feel like to hold back?
感觉 It feels...
写书就像释放出愤怒 writing it felt like letting the bile out.
全盘托出 Like coming clean.
不止有机会拯救我自己 Like a chance to redeem not only myself,
也能解救从事这一行业的人 but the people who do this work
以及想做这行的人 and the people who want to.
抑或这一切都是表演 Or is this the performance of all that?
假装放下对权力 Of letting go of the need for power
对势力和财富的渴求 and influence and money
暗地里却不断满足这些欲望 while still feeding all those same needs.
这些诱惑真地沉睡了吗 Are you finally putting those temptations to bed?
还是你让它们加剧了 Or are you fueling them?
是这样吗 Is that what it is?
也许不是 Probably not.
也许就像你说的 Well, it's probably as you say.
开弓没有回头箭 The arrow launched from the bow,
无法收手 point of no return and all that.
是吧 Right?
- 泥好 - 谢谢 - Nihao. - Thanks.
中国怎么样 How was China?
给你 礼尚往来 Here. Li shang wang lai.
传统赠礼环节 Traditional gift-giving.
你不该在赠送者面前打开 You don't open it in front of the giver.
菲利普说得对 你这野蛮人 Philip is correct, you heathen.
菲利普 还是你懂世故 Thank you for your worldliness, Philip.
难怪普林斯考虑让你... Makes sense that Prince is considering you for...
我还很惊讶你没参选呢 Was surprised you weren't in the room.
我那会还在天上 正要飞回来呢 I was still in the air, flying back.
- 所以没去成 - 好吧 - Must've been why. - Right.
你想给大家一份真正的礼物吗 You want to give this place a real gift?
别让温迪·罗兹的书发表 Get this Wendy Rhoades book spiked.
它讲的内容大部分在我来之前 Chronicles the era before my time here mostly,
但它让大家心烦 but it's distracting folks.
- 你看了吗 - 在飞机上看的 - You read it? - On the plane.
确实引人入胜 A real page-turner.
如实的人物描写 丑恶的画面 The raw portrayals, the ugliness.
上次盛会后大家很积极 Morale was so good after the party,
但现在 士气低迷 but at the moment, it ain't great.
我觉得温迪的作品有点吸引力 I find Wendy's work kind of fascinating.
兰斯的描写也有几分贴切 And Lance isn't a wholly inaccurate depiction.
"阴险的外表 "Dark, dangerous looks,
带着一副刀尖战士的姿态 进入股票市场" and a knife fighter's attitude towards the stock market."
这写的是谁 Depiction of who?
我啊 Me.
呃 我看兰斯明显是维克多 Uh, by my read, Lance is clearly Victor.
- 这才对 - 可我觉得 - That's right. - But I thought...
等下 那我是谁 Wait, then who am I?
汤姆 你绝对是汤姆 Ooh, Tom. You're Tom.
"交易起来皱巴巴的 像一筐没叠的衣服 "With a trading style as crisp as a basket of unfolded laundry.
足够强悍吗 时间会证明 Aggressive enough? Time would tell.
但离典型领头羊还差很远" But a world away from the typical alphas."
就是这些 There you go.
屁话 这个人物毫无根据 Crap. This character is clueless.
而且没什么戏份 And he's barely even in it.
瓦格斯 你一定要跟普林斯谈谈 Wags, you've gotta talk to Prince
让他停止出版这本该死的书 and get him to stop this damn book.
现在我有更重要的问题 Bigger issues on my desktop at the moment.
你们好呀 先生们 What's up, gents?
我带了礼物来 I come bearing gifts,
不是说这些从免税店里 and I'm not just talking about red gift-wrapped crap
随便买的红色包装的破烂 I picked up at duty-free.
- 请讲 - 我有办法让我们毫不费力 - We're listening. - I've got a way for us to slide,
滑溜地进入中国发薪日 gigolo-style, into a Chinese payday.
项目是基础设施 也是投资 It's infrastructure-as-investment,
华国重点参与 建设水力发电大坝 a major Peeps Republic play in hydroelectric dams
和横跨亚洲的高速铁路 and high-speed rail across Asia.
我都给你准备好了 I set the table for you.
满汉全席的规格 Manchu-Han Imperial Banquet-style.
你只要冠名 All you need to do is lend your name
让西方投资者确定可靠 so it all passes the smell test with Western investors,
然后就坐等收益吧 and sit back and collect your profits.
还有 Oh!
你都不用上飞机 And you don't even need to get on the flight.
只要参加合伙人会议 Just show up to a meeting with the partners
见见本周来纽约的 and some highly motivated party officials
非常感兴趣的政党官员 who are in New York this week,
就能看到大把人民币流入 and watch the renminbi come pouring in.
嗯 不想赞同 Yeah, this is a probably not.
抱歉 不过我们要出去了 Sorry, but we're on our way out.
喂 这可是白来的钱 Hold on. This is free money.
它就是1999年的亚马逊 2009年的比特币 This is Amazon in '99. This is Bitcoin in '09.
- 它是 - 如他所说 - This is... - Like he said.
他说得对 And like he said.
你们都没拿上礼... You didn't even take your...
什么情况 What?
凯特 在戴芙为我办的悲催聚会上 You know, Kate, I kept checking the door
我一直往门口看 at that sad fiesta Dave threw for me.
但你没有来 But you didn't show.
感觉好像我去了 事情重点就变了 Seemed like it might change the focus of the event.
但我确实想当面来见你 But I did want to make sure to come see you.
来祝贺你 To congratulate you.
看接下来的安排 给你敬杯酒 To see what's next. To raise a toast to you.
噢 Oh.
其实 The thing is,
因为是我培养了你 because I trained you...
我之前 是你父亲... and, to be fair, your father before me...
你现在可是普林斯的莱斯利·艾布拉姆森 and because of your current role as Prince's Leslie Abramson...
在梅内德斯兄弟枪杀父母的案件 担任其辩护律师 前两次庭审辩护胜利
比喻不错 艾布拉姆森可没赢那么多次 Nice pull. Abramson didn't win all that much,
我实在看不出她哪里像我 不过 so I don't really see the similarity, but...
我很怀念这样 Oh, I miss this
言语机锋 back and forth,
我们总能理解对方 the genuine rapport we always had.
所以我很激动 One of the reasons why I was so excited
当普林斯提出 让你到他的公司任职... when Prince offered you a role in one of his...
所以这不只是一次社交拜访 So this isn't merely a social call.
你也说了 是你培养了我 Well, as you said, you trained me.
培养课程里可没有社交拜访 不是吗 Social calls weren't really part of the curriculum, were they?
你在课程结束前就走了 Well, you left before the education was finished.
现在我们有机会一起学习 Here's a chance for us to learn together.
共同成长 Grow together.
我们加入安利公司吗 We joining Amway?
如果安利和普林斯的机构一样 If Amway were as highly functioning,
高运作 高效 而且权力共享 efficient and collegial as Prince's organization,
我一定会去 I'd be all for it.
但它不可能那么赚钱 Except there's no way it's as lucrative.
那么好啊 That good, huh?
查克 水是温暖的 Water's warm, Chuck.
也舒适 And welcoming.
这样暴露的环境里 In this post-everything environment,
考虑你的年龄和履历 前途有限 with the world shrinking for someone your age and profile...
普林斯可能是你最好的机会 Prince offer might be the best coming down the pike.
这杯敬你 凯特 Oh, here's to you, Kate.
也许世界还塑造了其他像你一样的人才 They may have made others like you,
但我一个都没见过 but I ain't come across one.
至于你的任务 And as to your mission,
我会适时回复 I will answer in due time.
我觉得那样做很不礼貌 I thought it was bad form
让斯科特·邓巴代他来找我 to have that Scooter Dunbar come to me as a surrogate,
但我不太在意这个 but I put that aside.
我一直在思考这件事 And I have been pondering.
我发誓 And I give you my oath
我会给出恰当的答复 that I will surface a proper response.
其实 我最近就有一个想法 I have, in fact, been working on one.
普林斯 Prince.
不过 查克 问题是 You know, the thing is, Chuck,
普林斯不会输 Prince doesn't lose.
起码不会输太久 Not for long.
但在我看来 他总能得到他想要的 Seems to me he always gets what he wants,
而当下 and right now
他想要的是你 what he wants is you.
你一定假设 一定知道... You had to assume, you had to know...
你也一定告诉过他 我对抢走我一切的人 you had to have told him that I would be in a warring posture
永远保持敌视态度 toward the man who took what I was away from me.
就算你知道我对你没有恶意 Even if you knew I'd hold no ill will toward you,
尽管你是这一切的始作俑者无疑 who no doubt orchestrated it all.
我对你也没有恶意 And I hold no ill will toward you.
我现在说这些 是我最大限度的善意了 This, right now, is me at my kindest.
我心里一清二楚 I knew all that,
我来这儿就是为了告诉你 and I came here anyway to tell you
是时候放下过去 that this is the moment you accept who you are
接受当下的自己了 and not who you were,
在普林斯广阔的商业版图里 and to find something in the wide world of Prince
挑一份自己想做的事业吧 that you want to do.
或许你还有其他的出路 但那些路 There may be other paths for you, but they all...
管它是公路 土路 还是石子路 every highway, dirty road and gravel path...
都只通向一个终点 lead one way:
那就是你查克·罗兹 更彻底的毁灭 to the even more complete destruction of Chuck Rhoades.
你 迈克·普林斯 You, Mike Prince,
想要为纽约人提供"保障收入"吗 want a guaranteed income for New Yorkers?
是的 That's right.
癌症 还是避税 Cancer diagnosis? Tax dodge?
阿什顿·库彻和他的朋友们 Ashton Kutcher and friends

我的记者 他知道我对你提出的纳税等级的看法 My press guy, who knows how I feel about your tax bracket,
这种等级不该存在 that it shouldn't exist,
他准备把这事儿捅出去 he was ready to leak the fuck out of this meeting.
没事 我们还有很多事要让他做呢 He'll be fine. We're about to give him plenty to do.
我才是布鲁克林的区长 I'm Brooklyn borough president,
但财政大权却掌握在市议会手里 but City Council has say over funds.
他们不会同意的 They won't go along with this.
你不是有可自由支配的资金吗 You've got discretionary funds.
- 没那么大规模 - 找进步党拉赞助啊 - Not on that scale. - Then pull a Bull Moose.
当初狂野骑士西奥多·罗斯福 When T.R., the original Rough Rider,
美国第26任总统 组织了美国第一个志愿骑兵团"狂野骑士"
想派遣他的大白舰队 wanted to send his Great White Fleet of battleships
美国舰队 舰体均为白色 老罗斯福总统派遣进行环球航行
到世界各地展示美国海军的实力 around the world as a show of naval power,
国会也并没有为他买单 Congress wouldn't foot the bill.
所以他凑够了半程的钱送舰队出海 So he scraped together enough to send them halfway.
然后告诉国会 "要让他们顺利返航 Told Congress, "You want to bring 'em home,
那就看你们的了" well, that's up to you."
先斩后奏 Announce the program,
让议会里的进步派于心有愧 and then shame the progressive wing of the council
好一起入伙 into coming along with it.
只要布鲁克林这次成功了 This time Brooklyn makes,
全世界都会跟着受益 the rest of the world takes.
迈克资金从此时此地启动 Mike Money starts here and now.
还是别把这次的事透露给《纽约时报》了 Yeah, don't leak the meeting to the Times.
咱给他们搞个更大的新闻 We're gonna give them a much bigger story.

初来乍到时 我就是个数据分析员 When I first arrived, you probably knew me as a data cruncher.

数据就是最重要的事 with the numbers for me.
当然 结果还不错 And, sure, the results were good...
超出市场表现 market-beating.
某人的自信心也超出了市场表现 Someone's confidence level is market-beating too.
这类人总会被提拔为领导 And they're being tapped for leadership,
- 可当我这样做时 就会... - 令人反感 - but when I do that, it's called... - Obnoxious.
我想说的是"太强势了" I was gonna say too aggressive.
天 Jeez.
但时过境迁 But time has passed,

当我看到机遇 我有胆量押上全部赌注 And when I see one, I have got the stomach to go all in...
枪手 枪手 快出来 Shooter, shooter, coming out!
你什么意思 Excuse me?
你在描述的是... What you're describing is...
事件驱动法 An event-driven approach,
结合了那些高速增长公司的 combined with early-stage investment
初期投资 in hyper-growth companies.
也就是那些颠覆型企业... Disruptors...
听起来真是太棒了 And that sounds pretty damn good.
听起来你像是个神枪手 What it sounds like is, you're a gunslinger.
说得动听 但过程如何呢 Sexy rap, but what's the process going to be?
在座的各位都知道我心思缜密 Everyone here knows I'm thorough,
我的处事方法也会很可靠 and my process will be solid.
但更重要的是 我不会循规蹈矩 But more importantly, that I don't have to conform to styles.
我能洞悉大盘的走势并做出重大决定 I can see the way the pieces are moving and make a big call.
那可不 你是约翰·图尔德嘛 Sure, you're John Tuld,
电影《商海通牒》中的反派角色
你知道音乐什么时候会停止 and you know when the music's going to stop.
约翰·图尔德将资产比作音乐
当下可能会热火朝天 And the result could be a hot quarter,
但随着时间推移 一旦热情冷却下来 but over time, once your barrels cool off,
这儿的工作环境会变成什么样子 what's the work environment gonna be like?
这里现在已经每天都上演狂野西部秀了 I mean, this place was already a Wild West show.
我也想知道 I, too, would like to know.
我也一样 Yep. Me too.
是啊 你不会一看到经济衰退的迹象 Yeah, you gonna peel people off
就把员工们撇下不管了吧 at the slightest sign of a downturn?
永远是赚得最多的那个人 It's always really the highest earner
能赢得人们的尊重 who commands the most respect,
所以如果由你掌权 so if you were in charge,
你的领导风格将会是什么样 what would the leadership climate be?
强硬但公正 注重结果 Tough but fair. Results-based.
你做了贡献 自然能获得运作和创新的机会 You deliver, you'll get room to run, innovate.
你出了岔子 就举步维艰 这就是现实 You stumble, things tighten up. That's the reality.
想要爱的抱抱 闻香品茗 那你就去修行馆 You want hugs and tea? Go to an ashram.

这才是你们唯一需要问的问题 That's really the only question you need to ask.
我还有一个问题 I've got one other question.
今天中午吃什么呀 大厨 What's for lunch, Chef?
今天中午是全素宴 Today, the lunch is from abcV.
全是以果蔬为主的纯素食 All plant-based and vegan.
有烟熏土豆配蒜泥蛋黄酱 We have smoked potato and aioli.
有姜黄花椰菜 We have cauliflower and turmeric.
还有枣 椰子 We have some dates, some coconuts,
印度多萨卷饼和扁豆 dosas, lentils.
- 用餐愉快 - 开饭吧 - Bon appétit. - Let's eat!
菲利普 Philip...
拿个盘子 help yourself to a plate...
端回你自己的工位上去吃 and eat it at your desk.
嗬 Hmm!
我要是早点有这个 If I'd had this before,
起诉你们这些人就容易多了 prosecuting you all would've been a hell of a lot easier.
在我们讨论职场失误这个话题上 While we're on the subject of career flubs,
你帮我理一下 为什么转眼之间 help me understand what's so fucking toxic
中国的资金会让人唯恐避之不及 about Chinese money all of a sudden?
我听说迈克不喜欢你那中国基建的提议 I heard Mike didn't go for your Chinese infrastructure thing.
是有什么限制名单被我忽略了嘛 If there's some restricted list I ignored,
就跟我收件箱里其他的邮件一样... like every other email in my inbox...
没 我还签字了的 我没觉得有什么问题 No. I signed off on it. Not toxic to me.
要么是合法性 要么是风险管理 Or Compliance. Or Risk Management.
我特么到底漏掉了什么 The fuck am I missing here?
也许就是这样 Maybe just this.
迈克知道很多我们不知道的事 Mike knows a lot of things that we don't.
我俩都知道他从来不是个草率 古怪的人 And we both know he's not sloppy or erratic
也从来不是个冲动的人 or impulsive, not about anything, ever.
所以我连争取一下都不行吗 So I don't even push?
就只能眼睁睁看一堆堆人民币从身边溜走吗 I just leave all the stacks of yuan on the table?
我只能告诉你 一个好律师会怎么做 All I can tell you is what a good lawyer does:
服从委托人的意愿 不管有多不明智 Obey your client's wishes, however ill-advised,
但要保留回旋的余地 but keep all options open,
以免他们恢复理智 in case they come to their senses.
我觉得咱们在这儿可以更坦诚地谈 Well, I thought we could have a more honest conversation here.
前几天的聚会上我也很坦诚的 I was honest at the shindig the other day.
不过 确实 But, yes.
在办公室以外的地方 的确会轻松得多 Absolutely easier to meet out of the office.
你给我的压力可真不小 You pushed back plenty hard on me.
- 我得自力更生啊 - 当然 - I have to be independent. - Of course.
但如果事关我俩的共同利益 But if there are commonalities of interest,
或是成功的路子 paths to success for both of us,
我就会听听你的意见 I will hear you out.
比如为什么迈克资金会是合适的下手目标 Hear me on why Mike Money is such a good target.
我大概不是这么看的 Not sure I see it the same way.
迈克资金的"迈克"就是让我下台的那个家伙 The "Mike" in Mike Money is the guy who engineered my removal.
他是让你下了台 He did that thing.
但不代表他设立迈克资金这件事是错的 It doesn't mean this thing is all wrong.
他想要捐出一大笔钱 He wants to give vast sums of money away
- 给需要的人... - 当涉及到权贵时 - to people who need it... - The question to ask yourself
你要扪心自问 when it comes to these magnates is:
为什么 Why?
他捐这么多钱图啥 Why is he giving away this much zloty?
还有一个为什么 Here's a why:
如果他捐了这么多钱 Why does it matter if he, in fact,
没有直接获益 gives this money away with no direct benefit
又没犯法 coming back to him,
那他这样做又有什么关系呢 and doesn't break the law doing it?
因为我们心里都清楚 Because we both know.
像他这样的人 总是有利可图 Guys like him, there's always a benefit.
他们永远是利己的 It's always about themselves.
也许想要攫取经济刺激款项 拿去投资 Probably wants to scoop up the stimmies and invest them,
或是想借市场资金回流的东风 or ride the market wave on the inflow.
再说说那一大笔钱吧 And let's talk about those vast sums.
你觉得那些钱是从哪来的 Where do you imagine they're coming from?
他的银行账户 或者他的腰包 His bank account. His money belt.
我在他公司的任何披露报告中都找不到证据 I can't find evidence of that in any of the firm's disclosures.
不 普林斯还没有平仓呢 No, Prince hasn't liquidated any positions.
事实上 他的基金加杠杆了 In fact, the fund is levered up.
我认为 My thought is,
他会用土地做抵押来贷款 he's going to borrow against the land
也就是他为办奥运会准备的土地 he rolled up for the Olympics,
但是你的办公室是有权收回这片地的 land your office can take back by right.
他买地是为了搞奥运快线 He bought it for an express purpose,
可他现在要挪作他用 for which he isn't using it.
他不能用了 Can't, in fact.
你说的有道理 There's truth in what you're saying,
但反复细品 but as I sit here chewing it over,
我却咽不下去 I don't want to digest it,
因为尝起来有些臭了 because it's starting to taste a bit rank.
你用尽全力对抗普林斯 You went all in against Prince,
但老实讲 你输了 and if we are honest with each other, you lost.
虽然你赢过他一回 但败局难改 You won a round, but you lost.
如果同样的事再发生在我身上 If same happens to me,
我们所有的其他工作都会受到威胁 all our other work is jeopardized.
我不想犯这种错误 Not a mistake I want to make.
现在不行 现在才刚开始 Not now. Not at the beginning.
好了 朋友们 All right, my friends.

要是那样的事情发生在我身上 我会自杀 That happened to me, I'd off myself.

不愿让我冒险的老板 risk it for the biscuit.
我也觉得那会很让人难受 I too would find that tough to live with.
