After spending some time looked at the entire proposal, Lynch looks to Congressman Landon, „you thought that it does have the opportunity to pass?” 花费了一些时间看完了整个提案之后,林奇看向兰登议员,“你觉得它有机会通过吗？” The Landon sitting posture is very relaxed, actually after only then this position, will be the congressman clearly joyfully. 兰登的坐姿很轻松,其实只有到了这个位置之后,才会明白当议员有多快乐。 He does not need to be responsible for any voting- over a hundred people vote, why to say he throws is the essential ticket? 他不需要为任何一次投票负责-上百人投票,凭什么说他投的就是关键票？ If unable to prove this point, how regardless of that he elects, how to throw, will not shoulder a wee bit responsibility. 如果无法证明这一点,那么无论他怎么选,怎么投,都不会承担一丁点的责任。 Money one point of this/should gaining will not be few, responsibility one point that should take will not be many. 该赚的钱一分不会少,该负的责任一分不会多。 If goes to the place on own initiative, or concurs the important status of many board members, can say has great power, at least like „budget committee” and „appropriations committee” and so on board member, each ticket value a lot of money in their hand! 如果主动到地方去,或者身兼多个委员会委员的重要身份,也可以说算是大权在握,至少像“预算委员会”、“拨款委员会”之类的委员会委员,他们手中的每一票都值很多钱！ Not only the ticket in hand is valuable, has very big power in the place. 不仅手里的票值钱,在地方上也拥有很大的权力。 Before looking like him , the status of committee member investigates the contamination concern by „environment committee” to the place, is revolving him to transfer to city hall everyone from the enterprise. 就像是他之前以“环境委员会”委员的身份到地方上调查污染问题,从企业到市政厅所有人都在围绕着他转。 Because wants a few words, an attitude, the local enterprises must face the destiny of production suspension investigation. 因为只要一句话,一个态度,地方企业就要面临停产调查的命运。 When the time comes in the place cannot collect the tax, people lose the job, the entire society will fall into to the confusion. 到时候地方上收不上来税,人们失去工作岗位,整个社会都会陷入到混乱当中。 To avoid such matter happening, must Congressman Landon „attendance” good, at least made him unable to find what problem. 想要避免这样的事情发生,就要把兰登议员“照顾”好,至少让他找不到什么毛病来。 Therefore the congressman works is can various types draw cash legitimately, a little power, has the considerable position, does not need the position work content responsible occupation. 所以说议员工作就是一个能各种合法拿钱,有一点权力,有相当的地位,又不需要位自己工作内容负责的职业。 Is just like the present, Lynch asked whether his proposal has the opportunity to be passed. 就好比现在,林奇问他这个提案是否有机会通过。 If Congressman Landon or mayor time, he quite prudent reply, but he now is a congressman, he very optional nod. 如果兰登议员还是市长的时候,他会相当慎重的回答,可他现在是议员,他很随意的点了点头。 Urges the reason that he nods is not he has looked at this proposal, is not he has to these things that proposal said understood, merely is because...... 促使他点头的原因并不是他看过了这份提案,也不是他对提案里说的那些事情有多么了解,仅仅是因为…… „You know, the Duncan family's lobby in Bupen is most famous, Congress almost cannot block these people!” “你知道,邓肯家族的游说团体在布佩恩是最出名的,国会几乎挡不住这些人！” Takes part in government in the federation, without hearing Duncan family's these lobbying teams, that absolutely is only a small role. 在联邦从政,如果没有听说过邓肯家族的那些游说团,那就绝对只是一个小角色。 They have the most specialized legal team to be responsible for various situations, then one crowd „former senator” and „former governor” and „former vice president” and so on once personally acted to help them lobby in the federal powerful character. 他们有最专业的律师团队负责各种突发情况,然后一群“前参议员”、“前州长”、“前副总统”之类曾经在联邦位高权重的人物亲自出面帮他们游说。 So long as these people send out, almost no one can resist. 只要这些人出动,几乎就没有谁能够抵挡得住。 Therefore from the beginning Landon had not considered whether this proposal can be passed, he thinks, only then must act with constraint slightly. 所以从一开始兰登就没有考虑过这个提案是不是能通过,他想的只有自己要不要稍微矜持一下。 After all, he just became parliament member, the facial skin has not raised the degrees of these senior congressmen, really did this sacred work „drew cash management” is so simple. 毕竟,他才刚刚成为国会议员,脸皮还没有养到那些老议员的程度,真就是把这份神圣的工作干成了“拿钱办事”那么简单。 He also wants facial skin, sometimes must face itself actually already did not have the conscience. 他还想要一点脸皮,有时候还要面对自己其实早就没有了的良心。 „Yes...... Duncan family.” “是啊……邓肯家族。” Lynch looks that the under foot upscale rug falls into to the ponder, some people described that federal high level, they were 5% people had the federal 95% wealth. 林奇看着脚下高档的地毯陷入到沉思当中,有人这么去形容联邦的高层,他们是百分之五的人拥有了联邦百分之九十五的财富。 These words just appeared on the market indeed very stirring, people also organized the large-scale parade and big strike resist the capitalist and politician's control to this country. 这句话刚面世的时候的确非常的震撼人心,人们还组织了大规模的游行和大罢工来抗争资本家与政客对这个国家的控制。 However is not useful, by the worker trade union eats the mouthful oil, finally pressed this matter. 不过没有什么用,工人工会两边吃得满嘴油,最终把这件事按了下去。 In their words, the rich man is not first day is so rich, reported, and reported before , what has to change? 用他们的话来说,有钱人又不是第一天这么有钱,报道出来后和报道出来前有什么变化吗？ Completely no, in addition the worker community is not the monolithic bloc, the factory enhances a benefits slightly, or many to wage of dollar, the workers returns to near the assembly line immediately the honest work, this disturbance finished quickly. 完全没有,加上工人群体也不是铁板一块,工厂稍微提高一点福利,或者多给一块钱的薪水,工人们立刻就回到了流水线边老实的工作,这场风波很快就结束了。 After that regardless of the media expose some capitalist to be rich, is very difficult to arouse people common mood resonance, they have been in any case rich, is this. 从那之后,无论媒体曝光某个资本家有多么富有,也很难引发人们共同的情绪共鸣,反正他们一直有钱,一直是这样。 A wealthy man has how much money, how is living the luxurious life, what kind of joy is enjoying, that is not the news. 一个富翁有多少钱,过着怎样奢侈的生活,享受着怎样的快乐,那不是新闻。 Only the wealthy man turns into the poor wretch is the news, will trigger the people intense curiosity. 只有富翁变成穷光蛋才是新闻,才会引发人们强烈的好奇。 But in this actually still has a problem that refines- 可这里面其实还存在更细化的一个问题- 5% li (0.5 km) in people mouth, this actually was also a very big number, little said that also had over a million people. 在人们口中的百分之五里,这其实也是一个很大的数字了,少说也有上百万人。 In this grasped over a million people of this national 95% wealth, there are such 0.05% people, grasped 0% in this national 95% wealth more than ten. 就在这掌握了这个国家百分之九十五财富的上百万人中,又有那么百分之零点零五的人,掌握了这个国家百分之九十五财富中的百分之十几。 By Duncan family member probably 1000 people that they acknowledged that they are grasping the federal about 10% wealth, this was the true rich enemy, was the true astonishment. 被他们承认的邓肯家族成员大概有一千来人,他们掌握着联邦百分之十左右的财富,这才是真正的富可敌国,才是真正的惊人。 Therefore when the Duncan family decided that promotes the proposal, in Congress passes, anybody had not considered must prevent it. 所以说当邓肯家族决定推动提案在国会通过的时候,任何人都没有考虑过要阻止它。 Because of anybody, including Mr. President, could not prevent it. 因为任何人,包括总统先生,都阻止不了它。 Wanting to place parliament member to the loyalty of country on? 把希望放在国会议员对国家的忠诚上？ Might as well look for just to come out with the girl who the dignity changes money, urging perhaps her also to awaken to go home to look for a right work. 不如找个刚出来用尊严换钱的女孩,劝一劝说不定她还能醒悟过来回家找一份正当工作。 But the congressmen, do not think them to be able good. 但议员们,千万不要想他们能有多好。 The congressmen only discussed many that whom discussed to give, few that who gave, did not care as for other them. 议员们只会谈论谁给的多,谁给的少,至于其他的他们一点也不关心。 Congressman Landon looks at Lynch, the flowing light in eye rotates slightly, „in the evening do you have other things to do?” 兰登议员看着林奇,眼中的流光微微转动,“晚上你有其他事情要做吗？” Lynch shakes the head, „do you have the matter?” 林奇摇了摇头,“你有事？” Congressman Landon laughs, „nothing, was inferior that in the evening we eat together, my wife is not at home......”, he explained slightly. 兰登议员哈哈一笑,“没有什么事,不如晚上我们一起吃,我妻子不在家……”,他稍微解释了一下。 His wife is not familiar with the Bupen rhythm of life, everyone seems to be catching up with the chase that catches up with slowly tightly anything, is familiar with, in the wife of Sabine City that slow rhythm countryside city life is very difficult to adapt to the life in city. 他的妻子不太习惯布佩恩的生活节奏,每个人似乎都在紧赶慢赶的追逐着什么,习惯在塞宾市那种慢节奏乡下城市生活的夫人很难适应城市里的生活。 Therefore Congressman Landon bought a small farm in the Bupen suburb, his wife and daughter live in that side. 所以兰登议员在布佩恩的郊外买了一个小农场,他的妻子和女儿一家住在那边。 Since he becomes parliament member, the daughter whole family also resigned them to work , helping Congressman Landon processed in some life „trivial matters”. 自从他成为了国会议员之后,女儿一家人也都辞掉了他们原本的工作,来帮兰登议员处理一些生活上的“琐事”。 Therefore most of the time Congressman Landon is a person live in the city, waited till the weekend time will go to the farm, or they come together. 所以大多数时候兰登议员都是一个人住在城里,等到了周末的时候才会到农场去,或者他们一起过来。 This life is very common in the congressman, what people need is only they are also maintaining the family relationship as well as harmoniousness between the family members, people do not want to look that is impossible to look at these people daily greasily in the same place. 这种生活在议员中很常见,人们需要的只是他们还维系着家庭关系以及家庭成员之间的和睦,人们也不想看也不可能天天看着这些人腻在一起。 The people, regardless of the height of social position, are pursue eventually honor in the lifeform of surface. 人,无论社会地位的高低,终究都是追崇于表面的生物。 Lynch nods, „I in the evening nothing, completely Ok.” 林奇点了点头,“我晚上没有什么事,完全可以。” „Can I find two people to come again?”, In the tone of Congressman Landon brings to discuss, „they are the friends who I just knew, you know, here is very to me strange, can become friends with some friends can help me well quicker is a part of here life.” “我可以再找两个人来吗？”,兰登议员的语气中带着商量,“他们是我刚认识的朋友,你知道,这里对我来说很陌生,能结交一些朋友可以帮我更好更快的融入这里的生活。” Lynch moves slightly, „does not have the issue!” 林奇微微一动,“没问题！” 7 : 00 pm ten points, the chef who looked for specially from the hotel have prepared the sumptuous dinner. 晚上 7 点十分,从酒店特意找来的厨子已经把丰盛的晚餐都准备好了。 Regarding many average people, only then goes to the restaurant to enjoy the authentic restaurant flavor, but regarding rich and powerful people, so long as a telephone, the chef in restaurant will bring all fresh food to prepare the sumptuous family banquet to the family/home for them. 对于很多普通人来说只有去餐厅才能享受到正宗的餐厅风味,但对于有钱有权的人们来说,只要一个电话,餐厅的厨子就会带着所有新鲜的食材到家里来为他们准备好丰盛的家宴。 So long as telephones! 只要一通电话！ The chefs complete these later not to leave immediately, the guests who perhaps later come will request, he can also lend a hand is supplementing a food anything again. 厨子做好这些之后没有立刻离开,也许稍后来的客人们会有所要求,他还能帮衬着再补充一点食物什么的。 Serves for parliament member, this is being honored of chef and restaurant. 为国会议员服务,这是厨子和餐厅的荣幸。 About when 7 : 15, Congressman Landon in mouth „friend” finally came. 七点十五分左右时,兰登议员口中的“朋友”终于来了。 Seven o'clock regarding the federal person almost happen to are finished eating the food the time, the federal person in the formulation of operating time, afternoon rush hour are least also in six o'clock, many factories place seven o'clock. 对于联邦人来说七点钟差不多正好是吃完饭的时候,联邦人在工作时间的制定上,下午的下班时间最少也在六点钟,很多工厂都放在七点钟。 The rush hour that Federal Government works in the afternoon is also at exactly 6 : 00, will not be earlier. 联邦政府下午工作的下班时间也是六点整,不会更早。 First two years are 6:20, afterward they thought that 20 minutes do have without the significance, therefore reduced six o'clock. 前两年是六点20,后来他们觉得那二十分钟有没有毫无意义,所以就缩减到了六点钟。 Therefore Federal Government also held more than ten public hearings, determined ahead of time gets off work not to belong after money fact that wastes the taxpayer, people have not paraded or the strike. 为此联邦政府还举办了十几场听证会,确定了提前下班不属于浪费纳税人的钱这个事实后,人们才没有游行或者罢工。 In the evening 7 o'clock eat meal to the federal person is the most normal time, do not feel the evening, some people even can be familiar in evening's 8 o'clock about eat meal. 晚上七点钟吃饭对联邦人来说就是最正常的时间,一点也不觉得晚,有些人甚至会习惯在晚上八点钟左右才吃饭。 The come two congressmen brought the gift, some very interesting people brought one bottle of liquor, another person had small box pure color. 来的两位议员都带了礼物,非常有趣的是有人带了一瓶酒,另外一人带了一小盒纯色。 „Landon......, Mr. Lynch!” “兰登……,还有林奇先生！” Two congressmen seem like educated, the 50-year-old appearance, wears very appropriate clothing. 两位议员看上去都非常的有教养,50多岁的模样,穿着非常得体的衣装。 Everyone displays seems like a true gentleman, after the clothes took off, give the maid not to forget

is unable to understand. “我听兰登说你在这,就迫不及待的赶来了！”,议员A略显有点尴尬的吹捧其实并不那么的无法理解。 In country that in this capital advances, the capitalist is this nation's true master, Lynch this type is not only competent, and potential new generation capitalist must attend this small meeting on behalf of today, do they possibly let up this opportunity? 在这个资本先行的国家中,资本家才是这个国家真正的主人,林奇这种既有实力,又有潜力的新世代资本家代表今天也要参加这场小聚会,他们怎么可能放过这个机会？ Even if only and Lynch makes contact with the words, exchanges the name card, where later perhaps has must ask the opposite party, or was asked by the opposite party. 哪怕只是和林奇搭上话,交换一下名片,以后说不定就有什么地方要拜托对方,或者被对方拜托。 Congressman B also collects the interest in say with a smile, „tomorrow we will have the new subject......” 议员B也笑着凑趣道,“明天我们又有新的谈资了……” This is slightly the flattering person, maintaining composure that pats. 这就属于稍微会一点拍马屁的人,拍的不动声色。 Four people sit near the table, by two congressmen who Landon invited to here all unusual satisfaction, was mainly Lynch here. 四人坐在餐桌边,被兰登邀请来的两位议员对这里的一切都非常的满意,主要是林奇在这里。 But Lynch also showed the suitable good intentions, he came to talk kindly with two congressmen, on the contrary was Congressman Landon, probably was treated coldly in one side. 而林奇也表现出了相当的善意,他一来就和两位议员亲切的交谈起来,反倒是兰登议员,像是被冷落在了一边。 But who knows, he had not been treated coldly, because he played a very important role, he is the bridge of Lynch and Congress. 可谁都知道,他并没有被冷落,因为他扮演了一个非常重要的角色,他就是林奇和国会的桥梁。 Before new can replace him to obtain the person who Lynch trust appears, his status will not

matter to give a Lynch very big inspiration, he must start to accelerate construction of the influence in Congress! 这次杰鲁诺先生推动提案的事情给了林奇一个很大的启发,他要开始加快建设自己在国会内的影响力了！
