#697: Very pitiful

Public relations cocktail party the mansion area of place northeast Beverly Hills Manor Hollywood open-air theater, Eric went by car just arrived at outside a mansion, saw front that familiar white BMW car, Kathryn Bigelow just gave the parking little brother the car(riage) key, was planning to enter the mansion, saw that black Rolls-Royce went, the subconsciousness looked at several, Eric has pressed down the glass outward to beckon, Kathryn nodded with a smile, stops the footsteps to wait for that Eric got out. 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, you can get off work, does not need to keep here I,” Eric landing forward driver had confessed that carries a box to 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。 Kathryn went forward to hug with Eric gently, saw that the Eric private car left directly, flashes through doubts, has not said anything, but looks at Eric to raise the square shape packing box in hand curiously: „Also must bring the gift, this was bad, I think 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。” „Naturally does not use,” Eric shook the head, high and low is sizing up this time Kathryn, their previous time met last year the project symposium about 《Band of Brothers》, because what a pity the project budget of 《Band of Brothers》 was too high, theme not too suitable ABC public TV Station, the majority of management to have the opposition like this finally, Eric had not insisted that can only temporarily put aside. These months because of the too busy reason, he are only occasionally with Kathryn several telephones. “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。 Several months have not seen, Kathryn does not have any change as before, wears a design simple black beam long skirt, the black high-heeled shoes, in the wrist/skill is a simple red thread, but stands there, can give people as before one type peaceful 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 look change of Eric, although very long has not seen, but experiences after repeatedly, Kathryn has almost formed a conditioned reflex, subconscious must make the defense gesture. However, Kathryn quickly realized that in Eric this time look has not made her remember the profound aggressiveness, was slightly relaxed, actually inexplicably felt light losing. 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。 He such outstanding man, what woman could not find. Definitely already to oneself...... 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 but emits this kind of thought at heart, but thinks of half, Kathryn hastily completely pinches out the thought that in the expression flashes through a flurry of not easy detection. The look is moving aside, said to Eric: „We go.” 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。” Eric lifted raised hand the box: „You do not want to 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？” „What is?” “是什么？” „After the cocktail party, told you again, but can disclose first, this gives your gift.” “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 Kathryn footsteps have stopped, looks to Eric: „Gives me...... Gift?” “礼物？”凯瑟琳脚步停顿了下,看向艾瑞克:“给我的……礼物？” Eric is light smiles. Lifted the arm slightly: „Was good, making me sell a small climax first, we go.” 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。” Kathryn looks at the arm that Eric has lifted, hesitates must have 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。 „Your this face will not give, I am a man, harms the self-respect very much.” “你不会连这点面子都不给吧,我可是男人,很伤自尊的。” Kathryn put out a hand to pull Eric finally, as if some unwilling hearts in a low voice have actually supplemented one: „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。” Kathryn said that he cannot bear the chuckle come out first, felt as if returned for several years ago, they in that time in the New York Manhattan 60 hotels being together. Kathryn has thought then of that white scarf. 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。 Originally he had already given gift. 原来他早就送过自己礼物了。 That scarf also peacefully places in her wardrobe at this time, occasionally goes to some cold places, can bring in the side, but little again realized that this is somebody gives own gift, as if has become she lived the common part. 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。 Eric felt that depends to relax slightly in oneself woman, cracks a joke saying: „You know that Kathryn, in some stories, called some side male for little man frequently ‚’ 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 Kathryn disposition is doomed she not to be interested in certain type film and television literary work. Hears the Eric words, asked seriously: „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？” Eric feels the woman somewhat naive vision, did cough. Without the direct reaction, nods again, said assuredly: „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。” Possibly was the Eric expression was too proper, Kathryn has not thought toward the crooked place, but curled the lip. Said: „Does not know that you were saying anything, 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 villa has been informed, welcomed, Eric and Kathryn then no longer chatted, dealt with these people to come with single-hearted devotion, but, mainly Eric brought Kathryn to treat with courtesy, regarding the situation of this meeting nature, Kathryn did not have anything to experience, the expression that even was sphered will present when by too many people obviously does 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。 This cocktail party is Eric asks Francis Coppola to relate, through cooperates repeatedly, Eric and Coppola Family personal connection has maintained is 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。 Since is public relations cocktail party, naturally impossible on a grand scale carries on, situated in the mansion of mountainside inside and outside loose, only then more than 20 guests, many with the Coppola middle-aged person and old person of a similar age, the aging of Oscar appraisal committee is the well-known matter, naturally in the guest is not Director, outside Actor, producer as well as Hollywood the public figure same does not lack. In the field does not have the music, does not have too the shuttle intercourse attendant, in the lawn several long tables chock up the self-service the starter liquor water, the people in threes and fours gather in various places chat in a low voice, since complies to come, actually also quite in making some recessive commitments, therefore discussed the Oscar person not to be actually many directly. 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。 Eric brought Kathryn to treat with courtesy in the crowd, arrived by the long table in lawn the plan to take some food rest a while, was chatting in a low voice, Coppola led one about 50 -year-old full beard middle-aged person to 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, making me introduce, this is Terrence Malick, Terren, this is Eric, 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, called me Eric on the line,” Eric raised the eyebrow, shook hand with the opposite party slightly calmly. “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。 Several people have greeted, Coppola is pointing by the mansion swimming pool round table, said: „Eric, do we go to that side to 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,” Eric is smiling the nod, once more looked at Terrence Malick, somewhat guessed at heart faintly that Terrence Malick once was one of the 70's famous Director, «Days of Heaven» that he directed also won the Cannes Film Festival best Director prize, but, Terrence Malick after «Days of Heaven», does not know why has lived in retirement suddenly, to the present already almost 20 years. “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 original space and time, Terrence Malick will resurface in 1998, has directed one with the war piece that «Saving Private Ryan» shows in the same year, this war film title said that two common translations, literary some, 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。)
