公关酒会的地点在比弗利山庄好莱坞露天剧场西北部的豪宅区,艾瑞克坐车刚刚到达一栋豪宅外,就看到前方那辆熟悉的白色宝马轿车,凯瑟琳?毕格罗刚将车钥匙交给泊车小弟,正打算走进豪宅,看到黑色的劳斯莱斯行驶过来,下意识看了几眼,艾瑞克按下车窗朝外招了招手,凯瑟琳笑着点了点头,停下脚步等待艾瑞克下车。„Carter, youcanget off work, does not needto keephereI,”Ericlandingforwarddriverhad confessed that carries a boxto get out.
“卡特,你可以下班了,不用留在这里等我,”艾瑞克下车前向司机交代了一句,拎着一个盒子下了车。Kathrynwent forwardto hugwithEricgently, saw that the Ericprivate carleftdirectly, flashes throughdoubts, has not saidanything, butlooks atEricto raise the square shapepacking boxinhandcuriously: „Alsomustbring the gift, thiswas bad, Ithink that does not use, has not brought.”凯瑟琳上前与艾瑞克轻轻拥抱了下,看到艾瑞克的座驾径直离开,闪过一丝疑惑,却也没有说什么,只是好奇地看着艾瑞克提在手中的方形包装盒:“还要带礼物吗,这就糟了,我以为不用呢,就没带。”„Naturallydoes not use,”Ericshook the head, high and lowis sizing upthis timeKathryn, theirprevioustimemetlast year the projectsymposiumabout《Band of Brothers》, becausewhat a pity the project budget of 《Band of Brothers》was too high, themenottoosuitableABCpublicTV Station, the majority ofmanagementto have the oppositionlike thisfinally, Erichad not insistedthat can only temporarilyput aside. Thesemonthsbecause of the toobusyreason, heare onlyoccasionallywithKathrynseveraltelephones.
“当然不用,”艾瑞克摇了摇头,上下打量着此时的凯瑟琳,两人上次见面还是去年地关于《兄弟连》的项目讨论会,可惜因为《兄弟连》的项目预算过高,题材也不太适合abc这样的公共电视台,最后大部分高管都持反对态度,艾瑞克也没有坚持,只能暂时搁置下来。这几个月因为太忙碌的缘故,他只是偶尔与凯瑟琳通几次电话。Severalmonthshave not seen, Kathryndoes not haveanychangeas before, wears a designsimpleblackbeamlong skirt, the blackhigh-heeled shoes, in the wrist/skillis a simplered thread, butstandsthere, cangivepeopleas beforeonetypepeaceful and feeling of restraint.
几个月没见,凯瑟琳依旧没有任何变化,穿着一件款式简单的黑色束腰长裙,黑色高跟鞋,手腕上系着一条简单的红绳,只是站在那里,依旧能够给人一种安静而克制的感觉。Feels the lookchange of Eric, althoughverylonghas not seen, butexperiences after repeatedly, Kathryn has almost formed a conditioned reflex, subconsciousmustmake the defensegesture. However, Kathrynquicklyrealized that inEricthis timelookhas not madeherremember the profoundaggressiveness, was slightly relaxed, actuallyinexplicablyfeltlightlosing.
感受到艾瑞克的眼神变化,虽然很久没见,但多次经历之后,凯瑟琳几乎已经形成一种条件反射,下意识就要做出防御姿态。不过,凯瑟琳又很快察觉到艾瑞克此时的眼神中并没有让她记忆深刻的侵略性,心情微微放松了一些,却又莫名地感觉到一种淡淡的失落。Hesuchoutstandingman, whatwomancould not find. Definitelyalreadytooneself......
他这样出色的男人,什么样的女人找不到啊。肯定已经对自己……Cannot help butemitsthis kind ofthoughtat heart, butthinks ofhalf, Kathrynhastilycompletelypinches out the thought that in the expressionflashes through a flurry of not easydetection. The lookis moving aside, saidtoEric: „Wego.”
心里不由自主地冒出这样一个念头,但只是想到一半,凯瑟琳就连忙将念头完全掐灭,表情中闪过一丝不易察觉的慌乱。眼神躲闪着,对艾瑞克道:“我们进去吧。”Ericliftedraised hand the box: „Youdo not wantto know that what is?”艾瑞克举了举手中的盒子:“你不想知道里面是什么吗?”„Whatis?”
“是什么?”„After the cocktail party, toldyouagain, butcandisclosefirst, thisgivesyourgift.”
“酒会之后再告诉你,不过可以先透露一些,这是给你的礼物。”„Gift?” The Kathrynfootstepshave stopped, lookstoEric: „Givesme...... Gift?”
“礼物?”凯瑟琳脚步停顿了下,看向艾瑞克:“给我的……礼物?”Ericis lightsmiles. Lifted the armslightly: „Was good, makingmesell a smallclimaxfirst, wego.”艾瑞克只是淡淡一笑。微微抬了抬手臂:“好了,让我先卖个小关子,我们进去吧。”Kathrynlooks at the arm that Erichas lifted, hesitatesmusthave an action to perform.凯瑟琳看了看艾瑞克抬起的手臂,迟疑着要不要有所动作。„Yourthisfacewill not give, Iam a man, harms the self-respectvery much.”
“你不会连这点面子都不给吧,我可是男人,很伤自尊的。”Kathrynput out a handto pullEricfinally, as ifsomeunwillingheartsin a low voicehave actually supplementedone: „Little man.”凯瑟琳最终还是伸手挽住了艾瑞克,却似乎有些不甘心地低声补充了一句:“小男人。”Kathrynsaidthathecannot bear the chucklecome outfirst, feltas ifreturned for severalyears ago, theyin that time in the New YorkManhattan60hotelsbeing together. Kathrynhas thought then ofthatwhitescarf.凯瑟琳说完,自己先忍不住轻笑出来,感觉仿佛回到了几年前,两人在纽约曼哈顿60苏豪酒店里相处的那段时期。然后凯瑟琳就想到了那条白色围巾。Originallyhehad already givengift.
原来他早就送过自己礼物了。Thatscarfalsopeacefullyplacesinherwardrobeat this time, occasionallygoes tosomecoldplaces, canbringin the side, butlittleagainrealized that thisissomebodygivesowngift, as ifhas becomeshelived the commonpart.
那条围巾此时还安安静静地放在她的衣橱里,偶尔去一些寒冷的地方,也会带在身边,只是很少再意识到这是某个人送给自己的礼物,仿佛已经成了她生活中不起眼的一部分。Ericfelt that dependsto relaxslightlyinoneselfwoman, cracks a joke saying: „Youknow that Kathryn, insomestories, calledsomesidemaleforlittle manfrequently‚’ the woman, the fate was very often pitiful.”艾瑞克感觉到微微靠在自己身上的女人放松下来,开玩笑道:“你知道吗,凯瑟琳,在一些故事里,经常称呼身旁某个男性为‘小男人’的女人,下场往往都很凄惨。”
The Kathryndispositionis doomedshenot to be interestedincertaintypefilm and televisionliterary work. Hears the Ericwords, askedseriously: „Pitiful, why?”凯瑟琳性格注定她不会对某些类型的影视文学作品感兴趣。听到艾瑞克话,一本正经地问道:“凄惨,为什么?”Ericfeels the womansomewhatnaivevision, didcough. Without the direct reaction, nodsagain, saidassuredly: „Un, is pitiful.”艾瑞克感受到女人有些天真的目光,干咳了一声。没有直接回答,自顾自地再一次点头,笃定道:“嗯,非常凄惨。”Possiblywas the Ericexpressionwas too proper, Kathrynhas not thoughttoward the crookedplace, butcurled the lip. Said: „Does not know that youwere sayinganything, androcentrism.”
可能是艾瑞克的表情太正经了,凯瑟琳根本就没有往歪处想,只是撇了撇嘴。道:“不知道你在说什么,大男子主义。”
The person in villahas been informed, welcomed, EricandKathrynthenno longerchatted, dealt withthesepeopleto comewith single-hearted devotion, but, mainlyEricbroughtKathrynto treat with courtesy, regarding the situation of thismeetingnature, Kathryndid not haveanythingto experience, the expression that evenwas spheredwill present when bytoomanypeopleobviouslydoes not adapt.
别墅里的人得到通知,都迎了出来,艾瑞克和凯瑟琳便不再闲聊,专心应付起这些人来,不过,主要还是艾瑞克带着凯瑟琳应酬,对于这种聚会性质的场合,凯瑟琳一直都没什么经验,被太多人围住时甚至会明显出现不适应的表情。Thiscocktail partyisEricasksFrancis Coppolato relate, throughcooperatesrepeatedly, Eric and Coppola Familypersonal connectionhas maintainedis very good.
这场酒会是艾瑞克拜托弗朗西斯?科波拉联系的,通过多次合作,艾瑞克与科波拉家族的人脉一直维持的很不错。Sinceispublic relationscocktail party, naturallyimpossibleon a grand scalecarries on, situated in the mansion of mountainsideinside and outsideloose, only then more than 20guests, manywith the Coppolamiddle-aged person and old personof a similar age, the aging of Oscarappraisal committeeis the well-knownmatter, naturallyin the guest is notDirector, outsideActor, produceras well asHollywood the public figuresamedoes not lack.

既然是公关酒会,当然不可能大张旗鼓的进行,位于山腰的这栋豪宅内外散散落落地只有20多个客人,不少都是与科波拉年龄相仿的中老年人,奥斯卡评委会的老龄化已经是众所周知的事情,当然客人里也不全是导演,演员、制片人以及好莱坞外人士一样不缺。场内没有音乐,也没有太多穿梭往来的侍应生,草坪上几条长桌摆满自助的餐点酒水,众人只是三五成群地聚在各处低声聊天,既然答应前来,其实也就相当于做出了一些隐性的承诺,所以直接谈论奥斯卡的人倒是不多。EricbroughtKathrynto treat with courtesyin the crowd, arrived by the longtable in lawn the planto takesomefoodresta while, was chattingin a low voice, Coppolaledone about 50 -year-old full beardmiddle-aged personto walk.艾瑞克带着凯瑟琳在人群中应酬了一遍,来到草坪上的长桌旁打算取一些食物休息一会儿,正低声聊着,科波拉带着一个50岁左右的大胡子中年人走了过来。„Eric, Kathryn, makingmeintroduce, thisisTerrence Malick, Terren, thisisEric, Kathryn.”
“艾瑞克,凯瑟琳,让我介绍一下,这位是泰伦斯?马力克,泰伦,这是艾瑞克,还有凯瑟琳。”„Hello, Mr.Malick, calledmeEricon the line,”Ericraised the eyebrow, shook handwith the opposite partyslightlycalmly.
“你好,马力克先生,叫我艾瑞克就行,”艾瑞克微微挑了挑眉,不动声色地与对方握了握手。Severalpeoplehave greeted, Coppolais pointing by the mansionswimming poolround table, said: „Eric, do wego to that sideto chat?”
几人打过招呼,科波拉指着豪宅泳池旁的圆桌,道:“艾瑞克,我们去那边谈谈好吗?”„Naturally,”Ericis smiling the nod, once morelooked atTerrence Malick, somewhatguessedat heartfaintlythatTerrence Malickoncewas one of the 70'sfamousDirector, «Days of Heaven» that hedirectedalsowon the Cannes Film FestivalbestDirectorprize, but, Terrence Malickafter«Days of Heaven», does not know why has lived in retirementsuddenly, to the presentalreadyalmost20years.
“当然,”艾瑞克微笑着点头,不由地再次看了眼泰伦斯?马力克,心里隐隐有些猜测,泰伦斯?马力克曾经是七十年代的著名导演之一,他执导的《天堂之日》还获得了戛纳电影节的最佳导演奖,不过,泰伦斯?马力克在《天堂之日》后,不知道是出于什么原因突然息影了,到现在已经差不多20年时间。In the originalspace and time, Terrence Malickwill resurfacein1998, has directedonewith the warpiece that «Saving Private Ryan»showsin the same year, thiswarfilm titlesaid that twocommontranslations, literarysome, are called«The Thin Red Line», is more popular, is called«Red Alert».( To be continued.)
原时空中,泰伦斯?马力克会在1998年复出,执导了一部与《拯救大兵瑞恩》同年上映的战争片,这部战争片名称有两个常见的翻译,文艺一些的,叫做《细细的红线》,通俗一些的,叫做《红色警戒》。(未完待续。)
