Louis看了Mike校对过的Bainbridge案件摘要后，对Mike找出的问题赞不绝口，Mike却不以为然，觉得这种问题谁都能发现。但是Louis说他手下的50个律师，没有一个有能力看到这个问题。那么Mike找出的是什么问题，你看懂了吗？
LOUIS: You caught the discrepancies between “listed assets” and “potential assets.”
原来，Mike找到了“表内资产”和“潜在资产”之间的差异，这两者之间具体有什么差异呢？
A listed asset is anything owned by a company that is accounted for by their balance sheet.
A potential asset is something that might be owned by a company in the future. As it is not yet realized, it is not accounted for on their balance sheet.

看SUITS学法律英语
Suits是一部比较专业律政剧，虽然剧中经常出现夸张的情节，但是从法律语言学习的角度，绝对是值得反复学习的素材，前提是能够看懂剧中包含的大量律师专用表述、并购交易词汇、诉讼庭审词汇等。
You wanted to see me?
Sit down. I looked through your work on the Bainbridge briefs. Spectacular. You caught the discrepancies between “listed assets” and “potential assets.” That had a huge impact, Mike.
Yeah. I know. Millions. But anyone would have caught that, right?
Um, out of the 50 associates that are under my purview, not one of them would have caught that. You just have this eye for detail, Mike. I mean, no wonder why Harvey is so crazy about you. It’s amazing. I mean, I really, really, seriously appreciate that.
Hey, thank you, Louis. That… That’s nice.
You know that I pick a pony out of the herd every year, don’t you?
A pony?
Oh, yeah. Someone who shows potential. Stamp my own little brand on him. Mmm. Are you that pony, Mike?
I work for Harvey.
As you should.
Good.
Well, listen, I have some work to get to. So, maybe we can, uh, meet for lunch tomorrow at the club, say 1:00 p.m.?
Uh, you know, tomorrow…
I know I just posed that as a question, but I really didn’t mean it that way.
