看电影《反托拉斯行动》学商务英语词汇及表达

admin

电影《反托拉斯行动》是一部描写商业垄断与程序员创业的电影，该片通片都是宝，非常适合商务英语学习，该片是哈佛和斯坦福商学院学生必看的20部电影之一。记得当时备考BEC商务英语高级的时候认真看过，从中学到不少东西——明白了软件园应该是什么样子、垄断法、风险投资等等，还看到了外国大公司的超级福利，真是够眼羡的！

以上是《反托拉斯行动》中科技巨头NURV公司老板Winsten与斯坦福天才程序员Milo初次见面的片断剪辑，该场景涉及到一些比较专业的商务表达和实用短语及词汇（已在脚本处用绿色做了标记），希望对大家的商务英语学习有所帮助：

Winsten：Milo
------>>Not every day we have a genius in the house. -- Want a soda pop or something?
Milo：No, thanks.
------>>Come on in. --Digital canvas. （数字画布）

------>>The house knows the paintings I like. It knows my favorite music.
------>>Same for anybody else that's in the system.
------>>There's a little sensor that detects who's in the room.
Milo：Doesn't Bill Gates have something like that?
Winsten：Bill who? --No, no, no. His is primitive.
------>>I understand you're thinking of doing a start-up.
Milo：Yeah, --My friends and I have been planning on doing a media-delivery system for a long time.
------>>It'd be open source, We'd offer it free to everybody. Just charge for tech support.
Winsten：Wow. Free. Whew. --This is a cut-throat business we're in, Milo.
------>>It's just a matter of time before someone borrows your technology improves it, and makes  a billion dollars on it.
------>>What would you do with a billion dollars, Milo?
Milo：I don't know.
Winsten：I'll tell you what you could do. --You could take that money, put it back into technology...education, the arts.
------>>You can transform culture. --orchestras, museums, theaters. I fund an opera company，symphony
------>>I have donated thousands of computers to schools throughout the country.
------>>The question really is...--How many of the people that you share your discoveries with...will be altruistic...
------>>and how many will make fortunes off of your generosity?
