Read and notice
原创双语场景
INT. HOTEL SITTING ROOM — AFTERNOON
内景 · 酒店起居室 · 下午
A stack of proxy forms waits beside a plain-language summary and a company chart.
一叠代理表格放在白话摘要和公司结构图旁。
BUSINESSMAN
These are routine. Sign where the tabs show and let me handle the votes.
这些都是例行文件,按标签签字,投票交给我处理。
SHAREHOLDER
A signature is informed only when the signer can explain the power being transferred.
只有签署人能说明转出的权力,签字才是知情的。
COUNSEL
This form covers every vote for two years, including sales to companies he controls.
这份文件涵盖两年内所有投票,包括向他控制的公司出售资产。
SHAREHOLDER
Limit it to the next meeting, exclude related-party sales and show me how to revoke it in writing.
把范围限于下一次会议,排除关联交易,并说明如何书面撤销。
The group returns to the opening concern—“These are routine. Sign where the tabs show and let me handle the votes.”—and compares it with the later response before closing the scene.
众人重新审视开场问题——“这些都是例行文件,按标签签字,投票交给我处理。”——并在结束场景前把它与后续回应进行比较。
BUSINESSMAN
Which part is a request, which part is permission, and what may be refused or withdrawn without losing an existing right?
哪一部分是请求,哪一部分是许可,又有哪些内容可以拒绝或撤回而不失去现有权利?
SHAREHOLDER
Permission will name its scope, audience, duration, storage, withdrawal route, and the consequence of saying no.
许可会写明范围、受众、期限、保存方式、撤回渠道,以及拒绝会产生什么后果。
Two phrases remain visible on the shared note: “the power being transferred” and “including sales to,” each linked to the exact line that gives it force in the discussion.
共用记录上保留两个表达:“the power being transferred”(正在转出的权力)与“including sales to”(包括向……出售),并分别连接到赋予其讨论力量的原句。
COUNSEL
An independent person will check that silence was not treated as agreement and that no benefit depends on continued permission.
由独立人员检查沉默是否被误当成同意,以及任何福利是否以持续许可为条件。
The longer passage separates relationship, request, permission, refusal, and repair instead of compressing them into one yes.
加长段落把关系、请求、许可、拒绝和补救分别展开,不再压缩成一个笼统的“同意”。
A second pass through “The proxy-voting review” slows the exchange where “These are routine. Sign where the tabs show and let me handle the votes.” still leaves motive, consequence, or responsibility unstated.
第二轮细读“The proxy-voting review”时,交流在“这些都是例行文件,按标签签字,投票交给我处理。”仍未说明动机、后果或责任的位置慢下来。
SHAREHOLDER
What information would change the decision, who benefits from agreement, and can refusal remain safe, private, and free of retaliation?
什么信息会改变决定,谁会从同意中受益,而拒绝是否仍能保持安全、私密且不受报复?
BUSINESSMAN
The explanation will cover purpose, alternatives, foreseeable effects, data use, expiration, withdrawal, and the contact responsible for correction.
说明会覆盖目的、替代方案、可预见影响、数据用途、到期时间、撤回方式和负责纠正的联系人。
The speakers test how “the power being transferred” changes the force of “revoke it in writing,” then restate the distinction without relying on either phrase.
说话者检验“the power being transferred”(正在转出的权力)如何改变“revoke it in writing”(以书面形式撤销)的语气力度,然后不依赖这两个短语重新说明区别。
COUNSEL
A signature can document a decision, but it cannot repair missing information, hidden pressure, or an unusable withdrawal route.
签名可以记录决定,却无法弥补信息缺失、隐性压力或无法使用的撤回渠道。
SHAREHOLDER
We will pause the request, provide the missing details in plain language, and ask again only after independent questions are possible.
我们会暂停请求,用清楚的语言补齐细节,并只在对方能够独立提问后再次询问。
They rehearse one careful version, one direct version, and one version for a listener who enters late, checking that “including sales to” still leads to the same next step.
他们分别排练谨慎版、直接版和面向迟到听众的版本,检查“including sales to”(包括向……出售)是否仍然导向同一个下一步。
Before the scene closes, “the power being transferred” and “revoke it in writing” are placed beside the unresolved pressure in “The proxy-voting review,” giving the speakers one more round to challenge, concede, reframe, and hand off the decision.
场景结束前,“the power being transferred”(正在转出的权力)与“revoke it in writing”(以书面形式撤销)被放回“The proxy-voting review”尚未解决的压力旁,让说话者再完成一轮质疑、让步、重述与交接。
BUSINESSMAN
If saying no changes access, status, safety, or the relationship, how can we claim the answer is voluntary, and what must change before asking again?
如果拒绝会改变机会、身份、安全或关系,我们凭什么说回答是自愿的,又必须先改变什么才能再次询问?
SHAREHOLDER
I accept that an earlier yes may document one moment, but it does not cover a new audience, a longer duration, hidden pressure, or a changed purpose.
我承认先前的同意只能记录一个时刻,不能覆盖新的受众、更长期限、隐性压力或已经改变的目的。
COUNSEL
Then permission will be specific, informed, reversible, and separate from unrelated benefits, with silence treated as a reason to pause rather than agreement.
那么许可必须具体、知情、可撤回,并与无关利益分开;沉默应被视为暂停理由,而不是同意。
BUSINESSMAN
I will pass on the approved scope, excluded uses, expiration, withdrawal route, and correction contact so no later participant has to guess what was allowed.
我会交接获准范围、排除用途、到期时间、撤回渠道和纠正联系人,让后来的参与者无需猜测哪些内容曾被允许。
The longer dialogue now leaves “The proxy-voting review” with an acknowledged objection, a revised frame, a named owner, and a handoff that can be checked after the conversation ends.
更长的对话让“The proxy-voting review”在结束时留下已被承认的异议、经过修订的框架、具名负责人,以及能在谈话结束后继续核验的交接。
The fuller scene treats consent as an informed, reversible process rather than a single line of approval.
更完整的场景把同意视为知情且可撤回的过程,而不是一句单独的批准。
The unsigned broad proxy is replaced by a dated, limited authorization reviewed by separate counsel.
未签的概括代理被有日期、有限范围且经独立律师审阅的授权取代。
