你知道我是怎么创建Napster的么，我高中爱上的女孩 和Varsity曲棍球队的队长当时在一起，我想横刀夺爱，所以我计划干点大事，我这段到不清楚 Napster不算失败...我向好的方向永远推动了音乐产业的发展。可能不是什么好买卖 不过气死了一堆人。可是这就是Facemash的精髓，他们怕我，伙计，他们也会怕你的。这就是风险投资家说的：好主意孩子，接下来让大人接手吧。不过时代不同 这回该看我们的了。这个年代... 就是你递给他们一张名片，上面写着：我是首席执行官...混球。我就想让你变成这样
You know why I started Napster?The girl I loved in high school was with the cocaptain of the varsity lacrosse team,and I wanted to take her from him.So I decided to come up with the next big thing.I didn't know that. Napster wasn't a failure.I changed the music industry for better and for always.It may not have been good business, but it pissed a lot of people off.And isn't that what your Facemash was about?They're scared of me, pal, and they're gonna be scared of you.What the VCs want is to say,"Good idea, kid, the grownups will take it from here."But not this time. This is our time.This time, you're gonna hand them a business card that says,"I'm CEO, bitch."That's what I want for you.
你还不太混球 Mark...你只是太致力于变成一个混球...
You're not an asshole, Mark.You're just trying so hard to be.
