【纸牌屋】S01E03(01)贫穷不是成功的阻碍

Hints:

macbook

World Well

Gillian

Nicky Hemler

Chelsea

Adam GAlloway

CWI

I've worked really hard to gain a foothold with World Well. Six years ago it was just me and a macbook.
I understand.
And I had to juggle two temp jobs just to pay the rent.
It's your baby. You don't want to let it go.
Well, I just...
And you wouldn't have to, Gillian. All I want is for you to grow what you've already built.
I heard you fired half your staff.
Yes, I did.
That worries me.
I let them go to make room for you.
I'm just not sure we're the right match.
To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable working with someone who's commissioning famous photographers when I can't even buy my volunteers bus fair to the office.
Do you know who Nicky Hemler is?
No.
Nicky owns one of the biggest galleries in Chelsea. She desperately wanted to represent Adam Galloway. I delivered on Adam, and in return she contributes almost 40 grand a year to CWI. That money goes to impact studies, lobbying efforts, research. World Well could benefit from that sort of money, Gillian, and we can benefit from your expertise.
Can I think about it?
Of course.

为了让世界之井站稳脚跟我付出了很大努力。六年前,只有我和一台笔记本电脑。
我明白。
当时我必须打两份临时工来支付房租。
那是你付出努力的东西。你不想失去它。
好吧,我只是…
你其实不必这样的,吉莉安(Gillian)。我想为你做的事只是帮助继续发展你已经做出些成果的事情。
我听说你解雇了一半的雇员。
是的。
这让我担心。
我让他们走是为了给你让位。
我只是不确定我们是不是好搭档。
老实说,我有些不习惯和有能力雇佣著名摄影师的人一起工作,尤其当我没能力为来我办公室工作的志愿者报销公交车票的时候。
你知道尼基·海姆勒(Nicky Hemler)吗?
不知道。
尼基的画廊是切尔西最大的画廊之一。她很想当亚当·嘉乐威(Adam Galloway)的代理人。我把她介绍给了亚当,作为回报,她每年给净水计划捐赠近4万美元。这些钱影响了学习、游说活动和研究。吉莉安(Gillian),这种钱对世界之井益处很多,你的专长也会对我们有很多好处。
可以让我考虑下吗?
当然。
