今天我们一起学习Joanna为你精选的美剧《硅谷》（Silicon Valley）英语口语，let's go!
1. You pitched me Pied Piper.
你向我推销魔笛手。
Pitch是一个很口语化的美语，既可以做动词，意为“竭力推销，大作广告”，也可以做名词“卖力的广告说辞，宣传语”
Representatives went to Japan to pitch the company's newest products.销售代表前往日本推销本公司的最新产品。
He has a very clever sales pitch.他推销商品的口才很好。
2.I can’t have dead weight at my incubator.
Dead weight,字面直译“死重”，这样看，死掉的重物毫无用处，只会增加负担，所以可引申意为“重负，累赘，拖油瓶” 。
You can refer to something that makes change or progress difficult as a dead weight .
A heavy debt lay on the family like a dead weight.沉重的债务像千斤重担压在一家人的头上。
I feel like a corpse, a dead weight. 我感觉自己像行尸走肉。
3.Jobs was a poser.
乔布斯只会装。
Poser来自于名词pose,意为“姿态，姿势”。当我们拍照有时会听到摄影师说“摆浦士”，其实就是pose的译音，“摆姿势”的意思。Pose后加r变成一个“摆姿势的人”，爱弄姿势，造作，便容易理解引申为“耍大牌，装腔作势的人”
He's such a poser. 他太做作。
Who does she think she is? A singer star? What a poser!她以为她是谁呢? 歌星? 真是耍大牌啊?
4.He knew how to package the ideas.
他只是知道怎么包装概念。
Package我们平时常见作为名词“包裹”出现，这里活用成动词作“给（商品）加漂亮包装，包装花哨”，把某人或某物置于有利的位置，把某人或某物的优势展现出来
If something is packaged in a particular way, it is presented or advertised in that way in order to make it seem attractive or interesting. (为使某物吸引人而) 包装
This is an attempt to package news as entertainment.这是一个把新闻包装成娱乐形式的尝试。
A city is like any product. It has to be packaged properly to be attractive to the consumer.一座城市就像任何产品一样，需要适当地加以包装来吸引消费者。
5.Baller.牛
Baller，可能只有当地人才能听得懂的俚语。当你查词典的时候，你会发现baller这个词和“球员”并没有半毛钱关系。其实它初期的确和运动有关，通常形容篮球员或足球员球技精湛，后来在俚语中慢慢延伸为在某个领域出类拔萃，或者形容受欢迎，人生赢家，回头率超高的东西。
That guy is rich and has a beautiful wife. He is so Baller. 那个家伙又有钱又娇妻，真牛！
That guy has a ton of cars and girls swarm over him. He is baller. 那个男人有好多车，姑娘们都围着他转，真是个人生赢家。
