The December Edition, Christmas dayprevious the day, along withcompletion of RMS Titanicfirstweekendthreedays of Box Officedata, the North Americaentertainment medialaunches the newroundcrazybangto poundto the movierelatedtopicrandomly.
12月号,圣诞节前一天,随着泰坦尼克号首周末三天票房数据的出炉,北美娱乐媒体对影片相关话题展开新一轮狂轰乱砸。
If othermovies, the firstweekendthreedays29180,000, cannotbe the failuresin any event, butit is actually RMS Titanic, total investment2.6500 millionUSD, globalBox Office800 millioncanrealize the balanced revenues and expenditures the shadehistorycosthighestmovie.
如果是其他影片,首周末三天2918万,无论如何都不能算是失败,但它却偏偏是泰坦尼克号,一部总投资2.65亿美元,全球票房8亿才能实现收支平衡的影史成本最高电影。Butat this time, RMS TitanicfirstweekendBox Officeactuallyonly then29180,000USD, evenalsocomparesStar Trek that does not go forwardoneweek of screening: The firstcontact, Paramount PicturesmanufacturereleaseStar Trek: The firstcontact, production costis45 millionUSD, firstweekendBox Office3071ten thousandUSD, weekendBox Officedecline range, only then42, receive17.8 millionUSDagain, simultaneouslyscreenstendays of Box Officeto achieve60 millionUSD.
但此时,泰坦尼克号首周末票房却只有2918万美元,甚至还比不上前一周上映的星际迷航:第一次接触,派拉蒙影业制作发行的星际迷航:第一次接触,制作成本为4500万美元,首周末票房3071万美元,次周末票房跌幅只有42,再收1780万美元,同时上映十天累计票房已经达到6000万美元。
The majority ofmediapublish the predict that although the RMS Titanicmoviereputationcomparesto screenbeforehandhas promoted, because the longthreehours of film lengthmakes the majority ofaudienceslose the viewshadepower, the Box Officedecline range of RMS Titanicnext week will possibly surpassStar Trek: The firstcontact, achieves over 50.
大部分媒体都发表预测,虽然泰坦尼克号的电影口碑相比上映之前有所提升,但因为漫长的三小时片长让大部分观众失去观影动力,泰坦尼克号次周的票房跌幅很可能会超过星际迷航:第一次接触,达到50以上。According tothisBox Officetrend, RMS TitanicNorth AmericatotalBox Officepossiblyhas80 millionto90 millionUSD. Butit is well known, overseasreleasesimilarhindrance of RMS Titanicnumerous, the overseascountry that the moviescreenssame timehas9, less thanonemonth ago the half of Mission: Impossible2overseassynchronizationnumber of countries. The failure of RMS TitanicNorth AmericaBox Office, will affect the moviesimilarly the overseasBox Officetrend, along withhas not screened the distributor and instituteline in businessenthusiasmcountryreduces, RMS TitanicglobalBox Officepossiblyhaltsin200 millionUSD.
按照这种票房走势,泰坦尼克号北美总票房可能只有8000万到9000万美元。而众所周知,泰坦尼克号的海外发行同样阻碍重重,影片同期上映的海外国家只有9个,不到一个月前碟中谍2海外同步国家数量的一半。泰坦尼克号北美票房的失败,同样将影响影片的海外票房走势,随着未上映国家的发行商与院线商积极性降低,泰坦尼克号的全球票房可能止步于2亿美元以内。Share that globalBox Office200 million, Fireflycantake backprobablybe only70 millionUSD, the futurerecording tapeandtelevisiontelecastpowerand otherincomeare out of the question, the mediaestimated that Fireflywill lose200 millionUSDatthismovie, the suspicion of exaggeration, evenincludingFirefly Group , the majority ofmanagementalsoreluctantlyacceptedthisreality.全球票房两亿,萤火虫能够收回的分成大概只有7000万美元,未来的录像带、电视播映权等收入更是无从谈起,媒体预计萤火虫将在这部电影上损失两亿美元,并没有夸大之嫌,甚至连萤火虫集团内部,大部分管理层也都无奈地接受了这种现实。
If otherHollywoodbigFilm Studio, after RMS TitanicfirstweekBox Officedraws a charge, facinganticipatedreaches as high as the huge loss of 200 millionUSD, perhaps the relatedheadhad made a clean sweepat this time, even, entireFilm Studio could face the bankruptreorganization. However, Firefly Groupis certainly impossibleso, after all, RMS Titanicis the project that EricIthrustforcefully, butfiresthismatterownBoss, the difficulty was too as if big.
如果是好莱坞其他大电影公司,泰坦尼克号首周票房出炉后,面对预期高达2亿美元的巨额损失,相关负责人此时恐怕已经被扫地出门,甚至,整个制片厂都可能要面临破产重组。不过,萤火虫集团内部当然不可能如此,毕竟,泰坦尼克号是艾瑞克本人强行力推的项目,而把自家老板炒掉这种事情,难度似乎太大了一些。Althoughdoes not needlikeotherFilm Studio, makes the confessiontoWall Streetor the shareholder, butfacescomingowesgreatly, the companyhigh level must always carry onsomeadjustments and damage control, will avoidreturning to the RMS Titanicroadin the future.
虽然不需要像其他电影公司那样,向华尔街或者公司股东作出交代,但面对即将来临的巨亏,公司高层总还是要进行一些调整和善后,避免将来重蹈泰坦尼克号覆辙。Justpassed the Christmas day, although the vacationhas not passed, Katzenbergthenstartsto convene the groupmoviedepartmentmanagementdiscussioncompanyfuturemovie-making and releasestrategyevery day.
刚刚度过圣诞节,虽然假期还没有过去,卡森伯格便开始每天召集集团电影部门高管讨论公司未来的制片和发行策略。It can be said that after firstweekendBox Officedraws a charge, most peoplehave gotten the label that is doomedto be defeatedtoRMS Titanic, in additionis the Christmas dayreason, littlesomepeoplepay attention toone-dayBox Office of thismovieagainspecially, even if the releasedepartment that Firefly Groupis responsible for the Box Officestatistics, toEricinsisted the behavior that every daymakestheirearliest possible timereportodd-numbered daysBox Officecompile is also quite puzzled, is difficultto be inadequate, anticipating the occurrence of miracle is Bossto the present?
可以说,首周末票房出炉后,大部分人已经给泰坦尼克号打上了注定失败的标签,再加上紧接着就是圣诞节的缘故,很少再有人特意关注这部电影的单日票房,哪怕是萤火虫集团内部负责票房统计的发行部门,对艾瑞克每天坚持让他们第一时间报告单日票房汇总的行为也颇为不解,难不成,老板到现在还期待着奇迹的发生吗?Although is very puzzled, actuallynobodydaresto be perfunctory the request of Eric, every morning, in the Ericelectronic mailwill then present the previousday of Box Officestatistical reports.
虽然很是不解,却没有人敢敷衍艾瑞克的要求,每天一大早,艾瑞克的电子邮箱内便会出现前一天的票房统计报告。Perhapsisconsidered that the Ericmood, in front ofwomentople daysno longerhimmentioned the matter of anymovie, except for the routinefestive greeting, the Firefly Grouphigh levelhas not been tactfulbut actuallymentionsRMS TitanictoEric, therefore, holidayChristmas daybut was actually also livelyandwarm.
或许是考虑到艾瑞克的心情,女人们这些日子都不再他面前提及任何电影的事情,除了例行的节日问候,萤火虫集团高层倒也没有不识趣地向艾瑞克提及泰坦尼克号,因此,节日圣诞节过的倒也热闹而温馨。In an instant, the timearrived on December27, Christmas daythirdday.
转眼之间,时间已经到了12月27号,圣诞节的第三天。Ericgets upas usualvery early in the morning, washinglaterarrives at the study room.艾瑞克照例一大早起来,洗漱之后来到书房。Todayison Friday, RMS Titanicscreensnext weekfirstday.
今天是周五,泰坦尼克号上映次周的第一天。Turns on the computer on desk, waited for that the startingtime, Ericlooksto the whitewritingboard on study roomwall.
打开书桌上的电脑,等待开机的时刻,艾瑞克看向书房墙壁上的白色写字板。At this time, abovepresentedsevengroups of dataincludinglate show.
此时,上面已经出现了包括午夜场在内的七组数据。Last weekendneedless saying that thisweekstarted.
上周末自不必说,这一周开始。
In Decemberdate, 557ten thousandUSD.
12月日,557万美元。Becauseison Monday, topreviousday of 9300,000USD, presented40falling, echoes the majority ofmovies the Box Officetrend.
因为是周一,相对于前一天的930万美元,出现了40的下跌,附和大部分影片的票房趋势。
On December24, 3500,000USD.
12月24日,350万美元。
The Christmas Eve, somepeoplewill basically not go outto watch the movie, one-dayBox Officeappearagainfalllargely, does not surprisepeople.
圣诞夜,基本上不会有人外出观看影片,单日票房再次出现大幅下跌,也不让人意外。Afterward, on December25, Christmas dayon the same day, one-dayBox Office703ten thousandUSD.
随后,12月25日,圣诞节当天,单日票房703万美元。ToDecemberthe same dayBox Office of date, presented an obviousrise, last morning, sawthisdigittime, Ericsomewhatagitatedsuddenlyhad been recently more relaxed, but, henotextremelyexcited, just like the Christmas Evepeoplewill not go outto watch the movieto be the same, Christmas dayon the same day, usually was also the people the golden opportunity that went outto make merry, on this daymovieodd-numbered daysBox Officepresented the promotion, was very difficultto saymovie'sfactor, received the stimulation of festive atmosphere.
相对于12月日的当日票房,出现了一个明显的上升,昨天清晨,看到这一数字的时候,艾瑞克最近一直有些烦躁的心情陡然轻松了很多,不过,他也没有太过兴奋,正如圣诞夜人们不会外出观看电影一样,圣诞节当天,通常也是人们外出吃喝玩乐的大好时机,这一天电影单日票房出现提升,很难说影片本身的因素,还是受到节日气氛的刺激。Therefore, on December26, wasyesterday, RMS Titanicfirstweeklastday of Box Officedata, appearedespeciallyimportant, Box Officeof this daywill also showthatRMS Titanicafterreputationfermentation of oneweek of time, whethercanreappearoncemagnificence.
因此,12月26日,也就是昨天,泰坦尼克号首周最后一天的票房数据,也就显得尤为重要,这一天的票房也将证明,泰坦尼克号经过一周时间的口碑发酵,是否能够重现曾经的辉煌。Ifone-dayBox Officeof this dayappearsagaindrops, withMonday557ten thousandUSDone-dayBox Officequite, then, allanticipationswill vanish into thin air. Ifone-dayBox Officepresents the rise, even ifevenwere impartialwith the Christmas daysame day, then, indicatesin the originalspace and timeto create the steamship of unprecedentedBox Officemiracle, will set sailonce more.
如果这一天的单日票房再次出现回落,与周一557万美元的单日票房相当,那么,一切期待都将化为乌有。如果单日票房出现上涨,甚至哪怕与圣诞节当天持平,那么,也将预示着原时空中创造了史无前例票房奇迹的大船,将再次起航。Ericlooked at the writingboard on wallto be lost in thought the moment, the computer on tabletopopened, the inputpasswordopenedin the Yahoo Mailprocess, although the Ericdeterminationrecently had about adjusted the mentality, butat this time, hediscoveredthatheis unable to treat with indifferenceeventually, heevenfelthisfingerbecause ofoncoming of sometrialtime, butshiveredexcitedlyslightly.艾瑞克望着墙壁上的写字板出神了片刻,桌面上的电脑已经打开,输入密码打开雅虎邮箱的过程中,虽然艾瑞克自觉这些日子已经将心态大致调整了过来,但此时,他才发现,自己终究无法淡然处之,他甚至感觉到自己的手指都因为某种审判时刻的来临而激动地微微颤抖。
The pageopens, strikingfromFireflyreleasedepartmenthas not read the mailcalmlyto lie downin the middle of the mailbox.
页面打开,来自萤火虫发行部门的醒目未读邮件静静地躺在邮箱当中。Ericmoves the mouse, the rap, the mailcontentlaunchesgently.艾瑞克挪动鼠标,轻轻敲击,邮件内容展开。Firstappears at present, isdistributes the firstweekBox Officesum total that the department statisticsdraw a charge, Ericjumps overthat5433ten thousandUSDcompilingdigitdirectly, under the visionmoves.
首先出现在眼前的,是发行部门统计出炉的首周票房总和,艾瑞克直接跳过那个5433万美元的汇总数字,目光下移。Is staring at the pagepeacefully, silentseveralseconds, Ericdeeplyhad breathed a sigh of relief, before setting outto arrive at the writingboard, takes the penrapidly above to write down the RMS Titanicfirstweeklastdigit.
安静地盯着页面,沉默了几秒钟,艾瑞克深深地舒了一口气,起身走到写字板前,拿起水笔迅速在上面写下了泰坦尼克号首周最后一个数字。9050,000USD.
905万美元。ThisThursdayBox Officefigure, to the RMS Titanicfirstdate, rose4, to the Christmas dayon the same day, rose11, tomosthadcommeasurableMonday, rose suddenly38!
这个周四的票房数字,相对于泰坦尼克号首日,上涨4,相对于圣诞节当天,上涨11,相对于最具可比性的周一,暴涨38!Ericis out of controlto sweeponce moreonefirstweeksevendays of Box Officedigit.艾瑞克禁不住再次扫了一遍首周七天票房数字。8650,000USD, 9670,000USD, 9300,000USD, 557ten thousandUSD, 3500,000USD, 703ten thousandUSD, 9050,000USD.
865万美元,967万美元,930万美元,557万美元,350万美元,703万美元,905万美元。That3500,000USDone-dayBox Office, seems a freezing point, butlooks likeinEric, it is actually more like a velamencompressesto the pinnaclespring, gathersallstrengths, is doomedto represent the movie of miracleone, throwsfuriouslyto the horizon.
那个350万美元的单日票房,似乎是一个冰点,但在艾瑞克看来,它却更像是一根被压缩到极致的弹簧,蓄起所有力道,将一部注定代表着奇迹的电影,奋力抛向天际。RMS Titanic, sets sailofficially!泰坦尼克号,正式起航!Throws intopen containerthatpenconveniently, Ericwalkstoward the study roomoutside, is thinkingat heart, then, perhapsnot needingre-recordingevery dayBox Office.
将那只水笔随手丢进笔筒,艾瑞克朝书房外走去,心里想着,接下来,或许没有必要再记录每日票房了吧。Thatwill be tired.
那将会多累啊。Newday, regardingHollywood, althoughison Friday, actuallysimilarlyis the newweek.
新的一天,对于好莱坞来说,虽然是周五,却同样是新的一周。Manypeoplewake upfrom the sleep, unknowinglylookstotoday'snewspaper, mayRMS TitanicfirstweekBox Officedigit that notesaboveto present, but, had determined the nature ofby the majority ofmediaregardingthisas the movie of work of failure, besidesmore and morereceives the movieaffectedmovie fan, most peopledid not thinkthat5433ten thousandUSDthisdigit, haveanythingat the worst, after all, last monthMission: Impossible2, firstweekBox Office, butmore than 80 millionUSD.
很多人从睡梦中醒来,不经意看向今天的报纸,或许会注意到上面出现的泰坦尼克号首周票房数字,不过,对于这部已经被大部分媒体定性为失败之作的影片,除了越来越多受到影片感动的影迷外,大部分人都不觉得,5433万美元这个数字,有什么大不了的,毕竟,上个月的碟中谍2,首周票房可是8000多万美元啊。Los Angeles, althoughcompared withNew Yorklatethreehours, but, Katzenbergactuallyalmostsawin the similartimewithEricRMS TitanicfirstweekBox Officecounts, healsonoted certainly the firstweeklastday, makingpeoplefeel that someaccidentevendoubts9050,000USDBox Office, Katzenbergmoststartedevento think the releasedepartmenthas made a mistake the digitalstatistics, after all, wheremovieworking dayBox Officeratioscreened the firstdateto be high, althoughplaceChristmas dayvacation, butmost people'sviewshadecustom, as beforemaintainedat the weekendthreedays.洛杉矶,虽然比纽约晚了三个小时,不过,卡森伯格却几乎与艾瑞克在差不多时间看到了泰坦尼克号的首周票房统计,他当然也注意到了首周最后一天,让人感觉意外甚至有些疑惑的905万美元的票房,卡森伯格最开始甚至以为发行部门将数字统计错了,毕竟,哪有一部电影工作日票房比上映首日还高的,虽然正处圣诞节假期,但大部分人的观影习惯,依旧保持在周末三天。Telephonedforbeing responsible for on -dutystaff of Box Officestatisticsconfirmedone side, makingin the call the headassuredvoice of issue department, Katzenbergto confirmthatthisdigithas not made a mistake.
打电话给负责票房统计的值班工作人员确认了一边,听着电话里发行部的负责人笃定的声音,卡森伯格才确认,这个数字并没有弄错。However, Katzenberghad not actually ponderedtoward a more optimisticaspect, butthisdigit, treats asChristmas day the result of holidayeffectonce more, after all, on December26, is the Christmas daysecond day.
不过,卡森伯格却没有朝更加乐观的方面去思考,而是将这个数字,再次当做圣诞节假日效应的结果,毕竟,12月26日,也才是圣诞节的第二天。Latersome, similarly are also maintainingtoRMS TitaniccloseattentionotherHollywoodFilm Studiohigh levels, notedthismoviein abundance on December26 the same dayBox Officeunusual form, meaning that most peoplehave not gone into seriouslysimilarly, evenincludedsomeattentionkeenmedia, similarlyhas thoughtwithKatzenbergat the same timewent.
稍晚一些,同样还对泰坦尼克号保持着密切关注的好莱坞其他电影公司高层,也纷纷注意到了这部电影在12月26日当天的票房异状,大部分人同样没有深究的意思,甚至包括一些注意力敏锐的媒体,都同样与卡森伯格想到了一方面去。Althoughin the heartthought that thisis only an accident, Katzenbergorfirstwithbeing inNew YorkErictelephoned, reportedthisalsocalculates the goodgoodnews.

Katzenbergthoughtthatcanlittlelose moneysome, is always good.
虽然心中觉得这只是一个意外,卡森伯格还是第一时间与身在纽约的艾瑞克通了电话,报告了这个还算不错的好消息。毕竟,票房机构给这部影片预测的北美票房是8000万到9000万美元,但首周出乎意料地收获5433万美元,原本的预测数字肯定会出现上浮,北美破亿几乎是可以肯定的。卡森伯格觉得,能少亏损一些,总是好的。Erichas not toldKatzenbergownjudgment, thought that considerstoeverybodypleasantly surprised. If the heavenhas not jokedwithhim, then, approachespleasantly surprised, perhapswill be onlytomorrow.艾瑞克也没有将自己的判断告诉卡森伯格,心想就当是给大家一个惊喜吧。如果上天没有和他开玩笑,那么,惊喜来临,或许就只是明天了。WithEricthrough the telephone, Katzenbergsaid goodbye to the wife and twinson, drivesto rush toBurbankFireflyHeadquarters, hewill makenewlineFilm IndustryChairmanKennethHornethis morning, the plandiscussednewlinenext yearmanufacture and issuance plan.
与艾瑞克通过电话,卡森伯格告别了妻子和双胞胎儿子,开车赶往伯班克萤火虫总部,他今天上午约了新线影业总裁肯尼斯霍恩,计划讨论新线明年的制作和发行计划。
The newline has almost obtainedthis yearwiththisFirefly Pictures and DisneyFilm IndustrytwobigFilm StudiosuitableBox Officeachievements, in addition the Box Officefailure of RMS Titanic, next yearstarting from, the groupdefinitelyneedsto increase the supporttonewlineFilm Industry.

新线今年几乎取得了与本部萤火虫影业、迪斯尼影业两大制片厂相当的票房业绩,再加上泰坦尼克号的票房失败,明年开始,集团肯定需要加大对新线影业的支持。这几天的讨论中,卡森伯格与弗兰克威尔斯等高层已经确定了一份将新线未来三年平均每年的电影制作预算提高到5亿美元的计划,艾瑞克在电话里也初步同意了这份方案,今天他们要对细节进行更加详细的讨论。As fortwobigProduction Studio of thisunit, the meaning of KatzenbergandFrank Wellsisto reduce the budget of bigmanufacturemovie, actuallyalsoreduces the Firefly Picturesmovie-makingscale, simultaneouslytakes seriously the manufacture of Disneyfamily photohonorable personmovie, after all, Disneyfrom the peripheralstoreto the Disneylandentireindustry chain, needs the massivefamily photomoviesto provideenoughperipheralcommodity and copyrightimage, theseandare only the animated cartoon, Live-Action Filmsimilarlyis not only important.
至于本部的两大制作公司,卡森伯格和弗兰克威尔斯的意思是缩减大制作影片的预算,其实也就是压缩萤火虫影业的制片规模,同时重新重视起迪斯尼合家欢真人影片的制作,毕竟,迪斯尼从周边商店到迪斯尼乐园的全产业链,都需要大量的合家欢电影提供足够的周边商品和版权形象,这其中并不仅仅只是动画片,真人电影同样重要。Ericdoes not haveKatzenbergto be so busy, has had the breakfast, hethenleisurely and carefreebrings a bookto leave the manor, walkstoward the cafe in thiscommunityedge.艾瑞克却没有卡森伯格那么忙碌,吃过早餐,他便悠闲带着一本书离开庄园,朝这座小区边缘的一家咖啡厅走去。In the morningcafedoes not havewhatguest, after Eric and counter, similarlysomewhatis bored to deathto readnewspaperold manto greet, thensits the position that oneselfoftensat.
上午的咖啡厅里并没有什么客人,艾瑞克与柜台后同样有些百无聊赖翻看报纸的老头打了声招呼,便坐到了自己常坐的位置。
A femaleattendantcarries the coffeetoEric, has drawn backpeacefully.
一个女侍应生给艾瑞克端上咖啡,安静地退了出去。Erichas drunkcoffee of warming up, opensin the handleisurely and carefreethatfinancialalchemy.艾瑞克喝了一口温热的咖啡,悠闲地翻开手中那本金融炼金术。Behind the counterthatalwaysuncommunicativeold manthistimeunprecedenteddrivingstart to talk, said: „Eric, looks like, RMS TitanicfirstweekBox Officeis good.”
柜台后面那个一向沉默寡言的老头这次却破天荒地主动开口,道:“艾瑞克,看起来,泰坦尼克号的首周票房还算不错啊。”Thislooks like the 60-year- old personnamedMatthewBraga, isBoss of thiscafe. However, Ericactuallyknowsthat the opposite partyis not farinown , the scalesuitablemanor, thisold manancestral homeinBrazil, is a localveryfamousentrepreneur, the familyis running not the smallnatural rubberbusinessnortheastBrazil, at this timehehas givenhischildren the familybusiness, oneselfretireto lead the spouseto care for the agedinUnited States, opensthis kind ofcoffeecafe, morewhiles away the time.
这个看起来60多岁的老人名叫马修布拉加,是这家咖啡厅的老板。不过,艾瑞克却知道,对方在自己家不远,也有一座规模相当的庄园,这个老头子原籍在巴西,还是一个当地非常有名的企业家,家族在巴西东北部经营着不小的天然橡胶生意,此时他已经将家族生意交给了自己的子女,自己退休带着老伴在美国养老,开这样一家咖啡咖啡厅,也更多只是消遣。Theyare notknow welleventually, Ericimpossibleto discloseanythingtohim, repliedwith a smile: „If othermovies, naturallyisgood, butthisisRMS Titanic. Mythistime could owegreatly, will otherwise not hideherenot to dareto see the personnow.”
两人终究不算熟识,艾瑞克也不可能向他透露什么,笑着答道:“如果是其他电影,当然算是不错,但这可是泰坦尼克号啊。我这次可能要大亏一笔了,不然现在也不会躲到这里不敢见人。”
The MatthewBragahahasmiled, in the eyeis bringingseveralpoints of astuteness, said: „Imaynot seeyouto let slip.”马修布拉加哈哈笑了笑,眼中却带着几分精明,道:“我可还从来没见你失手过呢。”„Hopesso.”
“但愿如此吧。”Spokethese words, both sidesare once more peaceful, Ericcontinuesto readin the handthisaridfinancework, the MatthewBragareadsownnewspaperas before.
说完这句话,双方再次安静下来,艾瑞克继续读着手中这本枯燥的金融学著作,马修布拉加依旧翻看自己的报纸。Crossedprobably for onehour, wore the golden hairCaucasiangirl of whitedown clothingto push the doorto walkin a hurry, saw that Ericsathere, walkshastily, latehas not apologized: „Sorry, Mr. Williams, myvehiclehas gone bad, has tomake the schoolmatedelivermeto come.”
大概过了一个小时,一个身穿白色羽绒服的金发白人女孩匆匆推门走了进来,看到艾瑞克已经坐在这里,连忙走过来,还不晚道歉道:“真是抱歉,威廉姆斯先生,我的车子坏了,不得不让同学送我过来。”„Has not related, Lena, please sit down, some of mydoubts, needyouto helpmeexplainexactly.”
“没关系,塞布丽娜,请坐吧,我恰好有些疑惑,需要你来帮我解释。”„Oh, naturally,”LenaRandersits downin the Ericopposite, pulls outfrom the satchelalongwith the Ericexactly the samefinancealchemy, meanwhile the notebook, thenpatientlyseems like the simplefinancial problemto the Ericexplanation.
“哦,当然,”塞布丽娜兰德在艾瑞克对面坐下,从随身挎包里掏出与艾瑞克一模一样的金融炼金术,同时还有一个笔记本,然后耐心地向艾瑞克解答起很多看似再简单不过的金融问题。Naturally, theseissuesto this ColumbiaJin Rongxigraduate studentsimple.
当然,这些问题只是对她这个哥伦比亚金融系研究生来说简单而已。
The reason that becauserecently the moodloses patience, Ericalsohas no interestto comb the Marvelcartoonuniverseplot, butchose an aridfinanceworkto kill the leisuretime, raw and coldfinancetheory, was easierto calm down.
因为最近一段时间心情烦乱的缘故,艾瑞克也无心在梳理漫威的漫画宇宙情节,而是选择了一本枯燥的金融学著作消磨闲暇时光,生冷的金融学理论,也更容易让人冷静下来。However, if Chineseworkis good, is onlyaccording to the wordingmeaning, throughreadrepeatedlycanunderstand something. ButregardingspecializedEnglishfinancework, wantsto understand, mustbe even familiarwithvariousinsidespecialtyuncommonfinanceEnglishwordsis good.
不过,如果是汉语著作还好,只是根据字面意思,通过反复阅读可以弄懂一些东西。但对于专业的英文金融著作,想要读懂,就必须对里面各种专业甚至生僻的金融学英文单词了如指掌才行。In the Ericmindare most, only then the financeknowledge of somefoundations, tounderstandthisbook, invited a financeoutstanding studentfromColumbia Universityspecially, ispresentLenaRander, a staturetall and slenderfacial featuresbeautifulgolden hairgirl.

To be continued.
至于艾瑞克最近感兴趣的这本金融炼金术,它有一个鼎鼎大名的作者,名叫乔治索罗斯。未完待续。
