【紙牌屋】S01E03(01)貧窮不是成功的阻礙

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.

爲了讓世界之井站穩腳跟我付出了很大努力。六年前,只有我和一臺筆記本電腦。
我明白。
當時我必須打兩份臨時工來支付房租。
那是你付出努力的東西。你不想失去它。
好吧,我只是…
你其實不必這樣的,吉莉安(Gillian)。我想爲你做的事只是幫助繼續發展你已經做出些成果的事情。
我聽說你解僱了一半的僱員。
是的。
這讓我擔心。
我讓他們走是爲了給你讓位。
我只是不確定我們是不是好搭檔。
老實說,我有些不習慣和有能力僱傭著名攝影師的人一起工作,尤其當我沒能力爲來我辦公室工作的志願者報銷公交車票的時候。
你知道尼基·海姆勒(Nicky Hemler)嗎?
不知道。
尼基的畫廊是切爾西最大的畫廊之一。她很想當亞當·嘉樂威(Adam Galloway)的代理人。我把她介紹給了亞當,作爲回報,她每年給淨水計劃捐贈近4萬美元。這些錢影響了學習、遊說活動和研究。吉莉安(Gillian),這種錢對世界之井益處很多,你的專長也會對我們有很多好處。
可以讓我考慮下嗎?
當然。
