他最初的演讲稿泄露给了媒体

危险的举动
Dangerous moves.
结果没有用
It didn't work.
毫无疑问 德罗宁
No doubt, DeLorean was booted
被董事会成员和公♥司♥高层劝退了
by members of the board and the corporate directors.
这迫使他在1973年突然离职
And that forced him out very abruptly in 1973.
德罗宁被公♥司♥开除
DeLorean is ejected from the company
这本应是一件非常尴尬的事情
and what should have been a very embarrassing event.
他却有一套把这一切都英雄主义化的说辞
However, he finds a way at making it all heroic.
德罗宁要做自己
通用公♥司♥太保守
在某个委员会中占1/7或1/10
Being fired
或者被开除
or being 1/7th or 1/10th of some committee
对我来说毫无吸引力
is a very unappealing thing to me.
坐在那里17年
Obviously, it was very rewarding financially
每年挣50万或者75万
and it would have been easy to sit there for another
非常容易而且获利颇丰
17 years collecting a, you know, a half a million
但是对我来说
or three quarters of a million dollars a year
没有那么大的吸引力
but that really didn't appeal to me very much.
一个完整的职业生涯将是另一个15年
A full career would have been another 15 years.

跟创造像GTO这样有趣的新产品相比
Compared to creating new, cool products like GTOs,
那是完全不同的一条道路
it's completely different.
德罗宁不可能这样活到65岁
There's no way DeLorean would have lasted to age 65.
我觉得我们能卖♥♥出五千辆就不错了
I can't imagine us selling even close to 5,000
但我们先生产这么多辆
but let's start with that number.
我还想造一辆车 一辆不锈钢车
I've got another car, a stainless steel car
你们会为之疯狂的
you're gonna be crazy about it.
好吧 祝你好运 约翰
Yeah, okay. Good luck with that, John.
不 台词应该是那样的

糟糕的版本是这样的
the bad version would be
接下来你要告诉我们的

"你想造一辆不锈钢汽车”
"You want to build a stainless steel car."
在他的脑海里这辆概念车总是激动人心

我们正在做一辆跑车

我们使用了一种不生锈的材料
And so we're using a non-corrosive material
这样它就能永存了
so that it'll just stay together forever and ever.
所以从美学角度来说会很漂亮
And, so it's gonna be very beautiful aesthetically.
他想为大众制♥造♥一辆精密的
He wanted to build a sophisticated
具有现代感的跑车
contemporary looking sports car for the masses.
这不是常见操作

如果你想买♥♥一些有异国情调和有趣的车
if you're gonna get something that's that exotic and interesting,
你就必须买♥♥法拉利或者兰博基尼
you're gonna have to get a Ferrari or a Lamborghini
但是他们一年只生产几百辆车
where they only make, you know a few hundred cars a year.
约翰想大规模生产这种车

他着手与那些大人物竞争

开一个汽车公♥司♥ 虽然是可能的
It's difficult, if not impossible to
但还是困难的

新手们虽然倍加努力
但是道路曲折
毕竟上一个你能叫出名字的公♥司♥
Really, the last one you could name
是20世纪20年代的克莱斯勒
was Chrysler in the 1920s.
甚至连克莱斯勒也经历过破产
And even Chrysler went through bankruptcy.
没有多少人
There aren't many people who'd do that.
愿意冒这个险
Who wanna risk it all.
德罗宁的生活目标高于通用汽车的象牙塔

约翰 我很受宠若惊
John, uh, look, obviously I'm, I'm flattered, but..
没有但是 比尔 我也没有奉承你

比尔·柯林斯就是领头的那个人
Bill Collins was the guy leading the charge.
在创业的前三年他们基本上就是这样
That played out basically for the first three years of the project.
当我们完成第一个原型车的时候
