About the translation of the title~~~~

I went to see it at Giovanni Ribisi~~ After I met this actor for the first time in Friends, I was deeply attracted by his performance, and then I searched for his movies on the Internet. In this movie, he is regarded as the protagonist. . (It seems to be the first one so far, keep working hard~~)
Giovanni's interpretation is quite in place, but unfortunately the production of the whole movie is a bit rough and there is no shining point, but Giovanni's interpretation is still worth recommending ~~~~~ ;)

I have always been puzzled about the title of the movie. Although the translation as'boiler room' is literally true, it is really confusing, and the translation as'stock analyst' seems conjectural. .. After
watching the video, with this translation, I consulted the English-English dictionary (the Kingsoft PowerWord’s translation is only “boiler room”), and came to the following conclusion:
"shady telesales operation: a room from which telemarketers using high-pressure sales tactics, usually by telephone and often illegal, try to sell financial products or real estate of questionable value (informal)"In

other words, Boiler Room refers to the office where Seth they work, and can also be understood as their work (Content), it may be because there is no such concept in China, so it is difficult to find the corresponding translation.
The translations of'boiler room' and'stock analysts' are not in line with the original meaning, and I personally think that the translation of'boiling space' is the most appropriate.


Giovanni Come on~~~~~~

    A movie made from news reports such as fraud companies. It was boring at first, and it was slow and procrastinated, but later it got better. The story is still sobering.

Boiler Room quotes

  • The Daily News telemarketer: [the Daily News telemarketer, over the phone, accidentally mispronouncing his name] Hi Mr. Davis, it's Ron from The Daily News, how you doing this morning?

    Seth Davis: [correcting him] It's Davis and I'm not interested

    The Daily News telemarketer: ok I'm sorry to have bothered you, have a nice day

    Seth Davis: wait a minute, that's your pitch? You consider that a sales call?

    The Daily News telemarketer: well, umm

    Seth Davis: you know I get a call from you every Saturday and it's always the same half ass attempt, if you guys want to "close" me you should "sell" me.

    The Daily News telemarketer: alright

    Seth Davis: alright, start again.

    The Daily News telemarketer: ok, it's Ron The Daily News, how you doing this morning?

    Seth Davis: [amused] shitty, what'd you want?

    The Daily News telemarketer: it's not what "I" want, it's what "you" want

    Seth Davis: alright, now we're talking, what are you selling me?

    The Daily News telemarketer: we're offering you a subscription to The Daily News at a substantially reduced price, we're trying to reach out to people who've never had home delivery before

    Seth Davis: so, your basically everybody that already have a subscription is getting fucked on this one?

    The Daily News telemarketer: yeah, I guess so

    Seth Davis: ok I can handle that, ok tell me, why should I buy your paper? Why shouldn't I get The Times? or The Voice?

    The Daily News telemarketer: Well, The Village Voice is free, if you want it, you should certainly pick it up, but The Daily News offers you something no other paper can: a real taste of New York, we have the best features, more photographs than any other papers in New York and we have the most reliable delivery in the city, now what'd you think?

    Seth Davis: you know what I think? I think that was a sales call, good job buddy

    The Daily News telemarketer: so, are you going to buy a subscription?

    Seth Davis: [before immediately hanging up] No I already get The Times.

  • Seth Davis: [while sitting in the lounge area of a bar] so who do you live with?

    Abbie Halpert: do you mean is this little black girl taking care of her grandmother because her mother is a crack head?

    Seth Davis: [jokingly] yeah exactly, I thought it was "smack" though.

    Abbie Halpert: your right.

    Seth Davis: [referring to her attitude] You've got to get ahold of that edge, it's kind of sharp.

    Abbie Halpert: I know, it's just that I get so much shit at JT that sometimes I just get into that mode to get them off of me you know?

    Seth Davis: yeah, I was going to ask you because it doesn't look like the ideal working environment for a black woman.

    Seth Davis: one
