Ericsighed: „1-2wordsdo not talk clearly, howto collectin any casetogether, Ionlyrejoiced that nowfor these daystheyhad not burntmyhouse.”艾瑞克叹了口气:“一两句话说不清楚,反正就怎么凑一起了,我现在只庆幸这几天她们俩没把我房子烧了。”Jeffrey of telephonethatheadhas smiled, immediatelysaid: „Youdefinitelydo not feel betterat home, nowquicksuppertime, orcomeshereto eat meal, justalsoknowswithChris?”
电话那头的杰弗里又笑了起来,随即道:“你在家里肯定不好受吧,现在快晚餐时间了,要不来我这里吃顿饭,刚好也跟克里斯认识一下?”Ericis onlyfinds the personto chatseveraldaysbored, does not wantto disturbJeffreyto enjoy the family happiness, askedscruple: „Thisappropriate?”艾瑞克只是无聊找人聊几句天,也不想打扰杰弗里享受天伦之乐,迟疑地问道:“这合适吗?”„Not to be how inappropriate, the holiday, naturally the personthe more better, heresois year to year lonely, youcameto be better. Right, ifwants, leadingthattwogirlsto cometo be also goodtogether.”
“怎么不合适,节日嘛,当然人越多越好,我这里常年都这么冷清,你过来就更好了。对了,如果愿意的话,带那俩丫头一起来也行。”Ericthought that twogirlsagain the chickendogrightwill not always quarrelbeforebystander, thereforethencomplied: „Inowon the past?”艾瑞克心想两个女孩在外人面前总不会再鸡狗不对头地争吵,于是便答应了下来:“那我现在就过去了?”„A bit fastercame, to be all rightto hang, the kitchenovenwas also starting.”Jeffreysaidthatdid not wait for the Ericresponseto make the telephone callimmediately.
“快点来,没事挂了,厨房烤箱还开着呢。”杰弗里说完,不等艾瑞克回应立刻挂了电话。Ericputs down the microphone, returning to the bedroomto changeclothesto go down the building.艾瑞克放下话筒,回到卧室换了身衣服走下楼。Is robbing the televisionleading powerDrewandAnistonsaw that Ericputs ongoes down the buildingofficially, simultaneouslygives birthat heartvigilantly.
正在抢夺电视机主导权的德鲁和安妮斯顿看到艾瑞克穿着正式地走下楼,心里同时生出警惕。„Eric, do youwantto go?”Twogirlsaskedwith one voice.
“艾瑞克,你要去哪?”两个女孩异口同声地问了出来。Ericships out a disgruntledlook, said: „Youwere too noisy, Idecideto change a placeThanksgiving.”艾瑞克装出一副不悦的神色,说道:“你们俩太闹了,我决定换个地方过感恩节。”„It is not good!”Twogirlsfledfrom the sofatogether, dungeon of threegaitssideone on the left and other on the righttoEricfirmlypullhisarm, thenstaredopposite partyonemutually, saidagainwith one voice: „Blamesyou!”
“不行!”两个女孩一起从沙发上窜了起来,三两步走到艾瑞克身边一左一右地牢牢挽住他的胳膊,然后相互瞪了对方一眼,再次异口同声道:“都怪你!”Erichas rubbed the temples, said: „Was good, do not quarrel, justJeffreycalledto invitemeto go tohishometo finish eating the food. Does anyone of yougo?”艾瑞克揉了揉太阳穴,道:“好了,别吵了,刚刚杰弗里打电话邀请我去他家吃完饭。你们谁去?”„I!”As beforeiswith one voice.
“我!”依旧是异口同声。„Ok, tenminutes, tradesclothes. Whoseink marksdo not bring.”
“ok,十分钟时间,去换衣服。谁墨迹就不带谁了。”Thumpthumpthump a chaoticsound, DrewandAnistonvanishin the staircasecornertogether.
噔噔噔的一阵乱响,德鲁和安妮斯顿一起消失在楼梯拐角。

……Drivesto arriveJeffreyhome. Ericpressedunder the doorbell, doorquickopenedfrominside.
开车来到杰弗里家。艾瑞克按了下门铃,房门很快从里面打开。Wearwestern-style clothes, the looksomewhatis seriously similartoJeffreyactuallywants the highmanyyouthto open the doorcompared withJeffrey, looked atthreepersononeeyes, has shown a lightsmile, puts out a hand saying: „Hello, Mr. Williams.”
一个穿着一本正经地西服,相貌跟杰弗里有几分相似却比杰弗里要高不少的青年打开门,看了门外三个人一眼,露出了一个淡淡的微笑,伸出手道:“你好,威廉姆斯先生。”„CalledmeEricto be good,”Ericput out a handto graspto saywith the frontyouth: „Ialsovery muchhappilyseeyou. Chris.”
“叫我艾瑞克就好,”艾瑞克伸出手与面前的青年握了握道:“我也很高兴见到你。克里斯。”Chris Hanssonnoddedtowardtwogirls, received the red wine that Erichands over saying: „Pleaseenterquickly.”克里斯.汉森又朝两个女孩点了点头,接过艾瑞克递过来的红酒说道:“快请进吧。”ThreepeoplefollowedChris Hanssontogether, Jeffreyas beforeis the old style, no, orprevioustimecame to a pointcompared withEricneatly, it is estimated thatwasreason that because the soncame back.
三个人跟着克里斯.汉森一起走了进去,杰弗里家依旧是老样子,不,或者说比艾瑞克上次来更加整洁了一点,估计是因为儿子回来的缘故。DrewandAnistonarefirsttimetoJeffrey, saw that thisobviouslywith the apartment that Jeffrey the net worthdoes not tallynow, look that twogirlsbothreveal the surprise. Aniston can also suppresshas not been sayinganything, small girl is actually candid, saiddirectly: „Jeffreywas so rich. Will live why alsohere?”德鲁和安妮斯顿都是第一次到杰弗里家,看到这明显与杰弗里现在身家不符合的公寓,两个女孩都露出诧异的神色。安妮斯顿还能强忍着没说什么,小妮子却是心直口快,直接说道:“杰弗里已经那么有钱了。为什么还会住在这里啊?”Ericturned aroundto staresmall girlone, warned that shecannottalk nonsenseagain, Chris Hanssonexplainedactuallyon own initiativetoDrew: „MyPapacomparisonkeeps old friendships in mind. Does not hateto move.”艾瑞克转身瞪了小妮子一眼,警告她不许再胡说八道,倒是克里斯.汉森主动给德鲁解释道:“我爸爸比较念旧。不舍得搬出去。”„Oh,”girlnoddedgently, does not dareto sayanythingagain.
“哦,”丫头轻轻点了点头,不敢再说什么。Threepeoplesit downin the living room, Jeffreyquickdrilledfrom the kitchen, on the waist is also the apron, sees the Ericthreepeople, said: „Eric, yourestfirst, the supperimmediatelywell.”
三个人在客厅坐下,杰弗里很快从厨房钻了出来,腰上还系着围裙,看到艾瑞克三人,道:“艾瑞克,你们先休息一下,晚餐马上就好。”„Needsto help?”Ericaskedhastily.
“需要帮忙吗?”艾瑞克连忙问道。Jeffreyshook the head: „Doesn't use. HadEmilyto helpmesuffice, youwere chattingwithChrisfirst.”Jeffreysaid. Entered the kitchenonce more.杰弗里摇了摇头:“不用不用。有艾米丽帮我就够了,你们先跟克里斯聊着。”杰弗里说完。再次钻进了厨房。Chris Hanssonsmiledawkwardly, explained: „Iseven -year-old timedeliberately creates troublein the kitchen. Was burntonetimeby the hotoil, after that myPapadid not makemeapproach the kitchen.”克里斯.汉森尴尬地笑了笑,解释道:“我七岁的时候在厨房胡闹。被热油烫到了一次,那之后我爸爸就再不让我靠近厨房了。”Ericexpressed the understandingwith a smile, has causedsignaling with the eyestowardtwosmall girl, theirobedientlandlordtrendkitchenwalked.艾瑞克笑着表示理解,朝两个小妮子使了使眼色,两人乖乖地主动向厨房走去。In the kitchenhearsJeffreyseveralto make concessions, as well asanothersounded very delightfulfemale voicesurprisedsound, quick in talking in whisperspeaceful.
厨房里传来杰弗里几声退让,以及另外一个听起来很悦耳的女声惊讶的声音,很快就在窃窃私语中安静了下来。In the living roomtwomenhave looked at each otherone, smiled.
客厅里两个男人对视了一眼,都笑了笑。Ericis observingChris Hanssonactuallyfrom the beginning. So far, hehad not discovered that onChris Hanssonhasanythingto study the aura of tyrant, occasionallyhad not saidlikeJeffrey, tookfouryears of full scholarshipin the university, but alsoinappearances of Morgan Stanleyworkfourbiginvestment banks.艾瑞克其实一开始就在观察克里斯.汉森。到目前为止,他都没发现克里斯.汉森身上有什么学霸的气息,一点也不像杰弗里曾经偶尔说过的,在大学拿了四年全额奖学金,还在四大投行之一的摩根士丹利工作的模样。Eric can only fromChris, even ifinroom, inmeticulousdetail that but alsowears the western-style clothes, summarizes the opposite partyeitheris the perfectionist, is the dispositionsomewhatis either mechanical. Naturally, former'spossibilityis higher.艾瑞克只能从克里斯即使在房间里,还将西服穿的一丝不苟的细节上,总结出对方要么是完美主义者,要么就是性格有些刻板。当然,前者的可能性更高一些。„Eric, what are youthinking?”Chrisaskedsuddenly.
“艾瑞克,你在想什么?”克里斯突然问道。Sinceis the Jeffreyson, Ericnaturallyhas a closenesstoChrisvery much, saidhonestly: „Jeffreyhas said that youworkinMorgan Stanley, Iam thinking, whyonyoudoesn't have a The Wolf of Wall Streetaura?”
既然是杰弗里的儿子,艾瑞克很自然就对克里斯产生一丝亲近感,坦诚地说道:“杰弗里说过,你在摩根士丹利工作,我在想,你身上为什么没有一点华尔街之狼的气息呢?”Chrishas gawked, immediatelyaskedwith a smile: „Eric, youthoughtthatso-calledThe Wolf of Wall Street, whatshouldbe?”克里斯愣了下,随即笑着问道:“艾瑞克,那你觉得,所谓的华尔街之狼,应该是什么样的?”Ericthinksthatsaid: „At leastshouldbe full of the aggressivity, butIthinkyourappearance, is more likeincertainscientific research institutes the meticulousresearcher.”艾瑞克想了想,说道:“至少应该充满攻击性吧,但我看你的模样,更像是某些科研所里一丝不苟的研究员。”Chrisshook the head, said: „Eric, youmade a mistake. In yourmouthoffensiveso-called‚The Wolf of Wall Street’, superficiallyexceeddoes not have the aggressivity, youcanlook for the pictures of someWall Streetwell-knowninvestment bankmanagementto look, almost allpeopleareonemediocre, placesappearance that in the crowdagaincannot look.”克里斯摇了摇头,道:“艾瑞克,你错了。越是你口中具有攻击性的所谓‘华尔街之狼’,表面上看起来越没有攻击性,你可以去找一些华尔街著名投行高管的照片看一看,几乎所有人都是一副平庸的,放在人群中就再也找不出来的模样。”Ericfirsttimehearsthisviewpoint, pursuesasks: „Whycansuchdo?”艾瑞克还是第一次听到这种观点,追问道:“为什么要这么做?”„Becausethiscancamouflage, the enemylacking in vigilance, making the matchlose the vigilance.”
“因为这样更能伪装,麻痹敌人,让对手失去警觉。”Ericlooking pensivenodded: „Was right, Chris, what are youconcretemaketo work?”艾瑞克若有所思地点了点头:“对了,克里斯,你具体是做什么工作的?”„Naturallyisanythingmakes moneyto makeanything.”
“当然是什么赚钱做什么。”Erichas smiled, asked: „IfFireflywantsto go on the market, canlook foryou?”艾瑞克跟着笑了下,问道:“如果萤火虫想要上市的话,可以找你吗?”Chrishearsthisissue, receives the smiling face on faceslightly, said: „Eric, no matteryourthisissuecracks a joke, ifFireflymustgo on the market, mustgivemeto operate, Fireflythisnametomysignificancethinks that youalsoknow, Ihopeitcandevelopwell.”克里斯听到这个问题,微微收住脸上的笑容,道:“艾瑞克,不管你这个问题是不是开玩笑,如果萤火虫真的要上市的话,一定要交给我来操作,萤火虫这个名字对我的意义想必你也知道,我希望它能更好地发展下去。”Seessotreats a matter seriously, Eric that Chrissaidalsoseriouslynodded.

见克里斯说的如此郑重其事,艾瑞克也郑重地点了点头。(未完待续)
