Thisdoes not knowwhereon first hearingfromcomes the reporter who to askissue that since surroundingbank notepeersrubbed the tartarimmediately, holding breathwas cold.
乍一听这个不知道从哪来的记者问出的问题,周围的一票子同行们当即就搓起了牙花,倒吸了一口冷起来。Thisis notup-wind the issue of committing a crime, thisdoes not give the restorationgovernmentfacecompletely, standardperformance that theirwordslisten without paying attention.
这已经不是顶风作案的问题了,这完全就是不给复辟政府面子,把他们的话当耳旁风的标准表现。Perhapssaidreporter the nicknamesnamedtruthwarrior, butthisdoes not meanthemreallyto be ablefor the truthbutfoughtwith the person in power.
也许说记者有一个叫做真理斗士的外号,但是这并不意味着他们就真的能为了真相而和当权者做斗争了。Thatsaidscary. Theydois the work of thispublic opinionmouth, wantsto arrangeoneselfonbigisn't good? Only ifweresilly, will really thinkthemto be ablefor the truth, butrecklessdoingstruggle. Becausewantsto knowwith the buttockseven if, the so-calledreporteris the platoon guide of public opinionreport, but the public opinionisanything, the public opinionis the lips and tongue of person in power. Youseewhichfamily/homelips and tongueto be all rightto catchto nipidly, that can only explain that thisgovernmenthad the rabies, was unable to copethoroughly.
那都是说出来唬人的。他们做的就是这个舆论口的工作,想把自己编的怎么高大上不行?除非是傻了,才会真的以为他们能为了真理而不顾一切的作斗争。因为哪怕是用屁股想都知道,所谓记者不过是舆论报道的排头兵,而舆论是什么,舆论是当权者的唇舌啊。你见过谁家唇舌会闲的没事逮着自己往死里咬,那只能说明这个政府得了疯狗病,彻底没治了。Although the presentUS governmentis the restoration, butafter all is the originalcapital group, naturallyis not the Starkgovernmentcancomparewith the relations of public opinionmouth. This is also whytheira few wordscantransmit the scene, letsreason that thesereporterskeep mouth shutdirectly.
现在的美国政府虽然是复辟的,但是毕竟是原来的资本集团,和舆论口的关系自然不是史塔克政府能比。这也是为什么他们一句话就能传达到现场,让现场这些记者们直接三缄其口的原因。However, although the US government conducted the control in opinionimmediately, butexactlyhadtheirunexpectedsituation. The reporter who thisdoes not fear deathmakeseveryoneon the scenebe startled, includingFrank.
不过,尽管美国政府在第一时间进行了言论上的管制,但是到底还是发生了他们意料之外的情况。这个不怕死的记者让在场的所有人吃了一惊,包括弗兰克。Hecanreceive the circulars of thesegovernmentbureaucrats, thereforehewas also surprisedhas the reporterto dareatthis timestillto commit a crimeunexpectedly. Howeverheis glad to see him succeedregardingthismatter, thereforeheanswersimmediately.
他可是能够接收到那些政府官僚们的通告的,所以他也惊讶居然有记者敢在这个时候顶风作案。不过对于这种事他乐见其成,因此他立刻就作答了起来。„Naturally. Ido not think that the energybusiness of Starkgroupformed the monopolyinthis/shoulddomain. Because ofcurrently speaking, besides the Starkgroup, the entireAmericadid not have the secondcompany to takerelativelymaturenuclear fusiontechnology. Ifinsistedto take the energy industryto say the matter, thenprobably was also the originalthesenuclear power stations and power companies. Butregardingthis point, I can only say that Imaynot haveto force anyone to choose the product of our company.”
“当然。我不认为史塔克集团的能源业务在该领域之内形成了垄断。因为就目前来看,除了史塔克集团之外,整个美利坚还没有第二家公司能够拿出来相对成熟的核聚变技术。如果硬要拿能源行业说事的话,那么大概也就是原来那些核电站和电力公司。而对于这一点,我只能说我可没有强迫什么人一定要选择我公司的产品。”„Thereforeyouthink that thisis the presentUS governmenttoyouraiming atdesirably, right?”
“所以你认为这是现在的美国政府对你们的刻意针对,对吗?”Thisdaresbutin the reverse directionfor the reporterclearlyhas a being prone making exaggerated , sensationalistic statementsconsciousness, his sayingasked that making the surroundingpeerssigh with emotionat heartadmires. Theyalsowantto asksimilarwords, butdoes not dare. Becausethissaying asked that not onlybe please drunk the coffee the issue. Serious, it is estimated thatmusttoreporterindustrysayfrom now onsees again.
这个敢逆势而为的记者显然是有一种语不惊人死不休的觉悟,他这话问的,让周围的同行们都在心里感慨佩服。他们也想问类似的话,但是不敢。因为这话问出来,就不只是被请去喝咖啡的问题了。严重点的,估计都要从今往后跟记者这一行业说再见了。Thisfellowwill not have a grudgewithownheadboss, planned that diesalsowants the pithis.
这家伙不会是跟自己头上的老板有仇,打算死也要坑他一笔吧。WhenReporter, alwaysdid not dread that inusing the biggestevil intentionguessesothers'intention, thereforein their eyes, thisbuddyisgives the personnot to lookmost likelyhappily.
当记者的,从来都不忌惮于用最大的恶意去揣测别人的意图,所以在他们眼中,这哥们十有八九是来给人找不痛快的。Naturally, thisandFracker are not related, in facthelooks forward tosuchpersonto comemany.
当然,这和弗拉克没关系,事实上他巴不得这样的人来得更多一点。„Naturally. If notaims, Ireallycannot find outanyreason, lets a governmentgo toand an underagechildbrings a lawsuit. Perhapsyouhave not known the situation, in factI the large sum of moneyhad sought the help of manylaw office, butwas rejected. Ithink that does not understand is actually whatpersoninpreventingIsuchinnocentchildgoes to the help in commonlaw. Perhapsthroughyou, Icangetsomeanswersalsoperhaps?”
“当然。如果不是针对的话,我实在是想不出任何的理由,来让一个政府去和一个未成年的孩子打官司。或许你们还不了解情况,事实上我已经重金寻求了很多律师事务所的帮助,但都遭到了拒绝。我想不明白究竟是什么样的人在阻止我这样无辜的孩子去寻常法律上的帮助。或许通过你,我能得到一些答案也说不定呢?”Frankhas not seemed likesuch that he said that whereaboutstheseattorneysseekwhatlegalhelp. In the final analysis, he believestheseare the fellows of moneymanagement. Naturally, thisdoes not hinderhimwiththismatteris, becauseifno onehasthatskill, givesto dig up the law office in the world, 11checkupswerethatseveralrejectedhisrequest.
弗兰克并没有像是他说的那样,去向那些律师们寻求什么法律上的帮助。说到底,还是他信不过这些为钱办事的家伙。当然,这并不妨碍他拿这种事情来说是,因为任是谁也没有那个本事,把全世界的律师事务所都给扒出来,一一核对到底是那几家拒绝了他的请求。Hesaid that has. Hedoes not believein front oftelevisiontheseaudienceto suspect his childatthismatter. To put it bluntly, thisisfinds the opportunity the behavior that slings mud attoward the US governmenton. Buthealsobelieves,oneselfthisevil reputationbuckle, the US governmentabsolutelydoes not havethatabilityto give itselfto scrubcleanly.
他说有,那就有。他不信电视面前的那些观众们会在这种事情上怀疑他一个孩子。说白了,这就是找机会往美国政府身上扣屎盆子的行为。而他也相信,自己这个屎盆子扣的,美国政府绝对没有那个能力给自己洗刷干净。
The people'sbirthplacewill sympathize with the weak one, particularly after hissuchhero .
人民贯会同情弱者,尤其是他这样的英雄之后。AlthoughsaysnowTony Starkreputationpraise or blame, the news that afterhehad diedsurfacesgradually, the peoplenaturallycanabandonthesehatreds the mood, thengives birthto recalltohim. This pointlikeSaddam, whocanguess that has been opposedinitiallyhemost ominous, is actually the presentmostfondly remembershis.
尽管说现在托尼.史塔克的名声毁誉参半,但是在他已经身亡的消息渐渐浮出水面之后,人民自然会抛开那些仇恨的情绪,转而对他生出追忆来。这一点就像萨达姆,谁能猜得到当初反对他最凶的,却是现在最怀念他的。Thisexplainedfrom one side the thoughts of peoplemostaregoodto operateandcoerce. ButFranknowat the matter of doingis, uses the weakness of people and specialstatus, drawsmost people'sstandpointtooneself.
这从侧面说明了民众的心思最是好操纵和裹挟。而弗兰克如今在做的事情就是,利用民众的这种弱点以及自己特殊的身份,把绝大多数人的立场拉到自己这边来。Thisis very simple. In factrelies onhisstatusalsoto havethatfinesmallface, even ifhisanythingdoes not do, hashalf people willingforhimto wave the flag and shout. Butnowhesuspends the US governmenttogether, thisnaturallywasmakeshissupportereven morehuge.
这很简单。事实上凭借着他的身份还有那张精致的小脸,哪怕他什么都不做,都有半数的人愿意为他摇旗呐喊。而现在他又这么摆了美国政府一道,这自然是让他的支持者变得越发的庞大了起来。Naturally, the truth of too much of a good thinghealsounderstands. Thismatterisficticious, mentionedslightly, leavesspace that othersimaginedisbest. Oneself said that insteadwere many possibility of revealing the secret. Thereforehespokethese words, no longer many spoken languages, the channel that butdispelsfollowingseveralvisionbadbailiffs, mustenterin the courtdirectly.
当然,过犹不及的道理他也是懂得的。这种事情本来就是子虚乌有,略微提及,留给别人想象的空间那是最好不过。自己说多了,反而多了露馅的可能。所以他说完这句话,就不再过多言语,而是顺着几个目光不善的法警排开的通道,径直得走进了法院之中。Touchedhas not plannedto give upto the reporter of flash news, tidies upto write downwantsdirectlywithcoming up. Howeverhas not walkedtwosteps, twobailiffsmustkeep offinhimone on the left and other on the rightnearby.
摸到大新闻的记者还不打算善罢甘休,收拾了一下笔记就想要直接跟上去。不过还没走两步,两个法警就已经是一左一右得挡在了他的跟前。„Mister, wesuspected that youhave not been interviewedpermit, thereforepleaseleavehere!”
“先生,我们怀疑你没有得到采访允许,所以请你离开这里!”„Hey, Mate. Opensyoureye, youhad not noticed that onmehangs the tag that youare sending?”
“嘿,伙计。睁大你的眼睛,难道你没有看到我身上挂着你们发的胸牌吗?”Thisreporteris wantedto smileby the wayair/Qi that thisopening the eyes the eyeis talking nonsense. Hejustargued strongly based on reason, the bailiffhas snatchedto tear offhistag, then a facecool-coloredwas sayingtohim.
这个记者被这种睁着眼睛说瞎话的方式气得想笑。他刚刚据理力争了一下,法警就已经劈手扯下了他的胸牌,然后一脸冷色的对着他说道。„Nowyoudid not have. Also, ifIamyou, nowIam worriedis notcango in the issue of interview, issue how butshould and backbossconfesses. Youcanpass on toyourboss, ifhehas not been wild with ragethatnowis the aboveperson is very unsatisfiedaboutyou, youprepareunlucky.”
“现在你没有了。还有,如果我是你的话,我现在担心的不是自己能不能进去采访的问题,而是该怎么和自己背后的老板交代的问题。你可以转告一下你的老板,如果他现在还没有气疯的话那就是上头的人对你们很不满意,你们准备倒霉吧。”„Good, Iwill pass onhis. Hopes the aboveperson who you said that has thisskill, reallymakesuspour a bigmildew.”
“好吧,我会转告他的。希望你所说的上头人有这本事,真的让我们倒个大霉。”Until can also continue the obstinate argumentativereporterat this time, was really makes the surroundingpeersadmirein the mind. Somepeoplecould not have repressedin the innermost feelingsto be similar to the torrentialriver watergeneralrespect, came upto say something to smooth things overwithhim.
直到这个时候还能继续嘴硬的记者,实在是让周围的同行们佩服到了心眼里。有人已经是按捺不住内心里如同滔滔江水一般的敬仰之情,上去就跟着他搭讪了起来。„Mate, youmaybe cool. Worthilyis the man in ourTexas! Introduced oneself, IwasTom, fromFort Worth.”
“伙计,你可真他妈的酷。不愧是我们德州的爷们!自我介绍一下,我是汤姆,来自沃斯堡。”
The scarletneck of Texasveryhasindication, thereforesaid something to smooth things overusingfellow villagerthis pointis not considered as that the mistake. At leastsaid,thisflamboyantrumbling the reportergavehim a face, nothimandperipheryothersimilarsame places, was countednogutsevildoers.
德州的大红脖子还是挺有标示性,所以利用老乡这一点来搭讪倒也不算是错误。最起码的说,这个牛逼轰轰的记者就给了他一个面子,没有将他和周围的其他同样一起,算作了无胆匪类。„IamJerry, a native of Houston.”
“我是杰瑞,休斯顿人。”Twopeopleshake hand, isbecomes friendsinitially. But is in itself has a mindto become friends with, Tomwill not be naturally parsimonious.
两个人握了握手,算是初步地交个朋友。而本身就是有心结交,汤姆自然也不会吝啬。„Mate, whenherematterended, Imustaskyouto drinkonecupwell. Reallydamn, the presentgovernmentis anything, knows, inourthesehave noin the head/number of people of bigskillto play the power and prestige. Alsomustlive hand to mouthto eatbythiswork, Ireallywantyouto be the same withMate, selects the colorto have a looktothesebastardstogether. Drinks, son-of-bitch, anything!”
“伙计,等这边的事情结束了,我一定要请你好好喝一杯。真是见鬼了,现在的政府都是些什么东西,就知道在我们这些没什么大本事的人头上耍威风。要不是还要靠这个工作混口饭吃,我真想和伙计你一样,一起给这些混蛋点颜色看看。喝呸,狗娘养的,什么东西!”
The second largest hobby of Texan, criticized the federal government. Thisisrightmatter, because the Lone Starstateis annexed to the USby the status in TexasRepublic, andhas the entirebeautifulfederationto draw back the nationpoweronly the reason, mostTexanwill not havebigtreatingto seeto the federal government of the United States.
德州人的第二大爱好,骂联邦政府。这是准没错的事情,因为孤星州本身是以德克萨斯共和国的身份并入美国,并且拥有整个美联邦唯一退邦权的缘故,大多数的德州人都不会对美国联邦政府有多大的待见。Looks to scoldtwoby, said that does not permit to pullin the showpointtoopposite partyheart, pulls closertwo peoplerelations. For examplethisbuddyhad just been threatenedby the bailiff, nowhelpshimscoldtwo, properright.
找个由头骂两句,说不准就能扯到对方心中的骚点,拉近一下两人的关系。比方说这哥们刚刚才被法警威胁过,现在帮着他骂两句,妥妥没错。Has the effect, canlookslightlyfrom the complexion of Jerryclearing weather. Butpulled closertwo peoplerelationsafterbythisuniqueway, Tomwas also straightforwardaskedoneselfissue of concern.
有没有效果,从杰瑞稍霁的脸色就能看得出来。而在以这种独特的方式拉近了两人的关系之后,汤姆也是直白得问起了自己关心的问题。„WordssaidMate, youdo thatreallydo not needto worry that theydo look foryourtrouble? Imeant, youtowhichtelevision stationwork? Will theyhelpyouwithstand the pressuresfromthesepoliticians?”
“话说伙计,你这么做真的不用担心他们找你的麻烦吗?我是说,你是给哪家电视台工作?他们会帮你顶住来自那些政客的压力吗?”„Do not worry, Iworkinhktv. Theycannot controlmy!”
“别担心,我在hktv工作。他们管不了我的!”Jerryis confident, Tom is actually bemused. Hehas not known when the UShad a television station that is calledhktv . Moreover the backstage can also tonot give the governmenthardly the face.
杰瑞胸有成竹,汤姆却是一脸问号。他还不知道美国什么时候有了一家叫做hktv的电视台,而且后台还能硬到不给政府面子。Looks that his facecompelsignorant, Jerrydoes not hitwhatriddlewithhim. Butsaiddirectly.
看着他一脸懵逼,杰瑞也不跟他打什么哑谜。而是直接说道。„Imean the Hong Kongsatellite TV. Ibecame the Easterncitizen, the presentisthat sideHong Kongreporter. Recentlyheardherehadin view of the Starkgroupraises the news of monopolycase, thistook planeto catch up. USthisgroup of childpoliticianssupportnoware not concerned about face, butis not concerned about face, theycannot manage the other side of the ocean. Therefore, what to dotheyhave no wayto takeme.”
“我是说香江卫视。我入了东方的国籍,现在是香江那边的记者。只是最近听到了这边有针对史塔克集团提起垄断案的消息,这才坐飞机赶了过来。美国这帮子政客现在是挺不要脸的,但是再不要脸,他们也管不到大洋彼岸去吧。所以,他们根本没法拿我怎么办。”Jerrythissaying said that makingTomtoeating the lemon was the same, a pantothenic acid. As the reporter, the flash newsis placedin the frontactuallyhas no wayto report,thissimplyissuffering.
杰瑞这话说得,让汤姆心里跟吃了柠檬一样,一阵泛酸。作为记者,大新闻摆在面前却没法报道,这简直就是一种折磨。Not is only in the professional accomplishmentmakeshimhave no wayto acceptsuchmatter. Whatis more important, thatclassificationpersoncanmake moneybythis, the reality that theyactually can only look athelplessly, attacks the persontruly. Iftradesto dousually, hewill certainly be showing the whites of the eyes, spatthisfellow villagerruthlessly, scoldedhim a traitor. Howevernow, heonlywantsto ask such a.
不仅仅是职业素养上让他没法接受这样的事情。更重要的是,那种别人能靠这挣钱,他们却只能眼睁睁看着的现实,才是真正的打击人。要是换做平时,他一定会翻着白眼,狠啐这个老乡一下,骂他一句卖国者。但是现在,他只想问这么一句。„Mate, do youreturn the hiringnow?”
“伙计,你们现在还招人吗?”
The reportersareveryrealistic. Not onlypresentTom, thesewas invitedto enter the court, the reporters who retransmit the entireprocess are also same.
记者们都是很现实的。不只是眼下的汤姆,就连那些受邀进入法庭,转播全过程的记者们也是一样。Do not lookhas it allnow, whatreporter, the audienceandjurydo not lack. Howeverin fact, Frank is well aware, all of them are just the pretences that the presentcoalitiondraws.
别看现在一应俱全,什么记者、观众、陪审团一个不缺。但是实际上,弗兰克早已经是心知肚明的,他们所有人都只不过是现在的联盟政府拉出来的幌子。Takingreporterfor instance, theirretransmissiondo not haveanythingto retransmitanything, butis the governmentmakesthemretransmitanything, theywill broadcastanything.
以记者为例,他们的转播并不是有什么就转播什么,而是政府让他们转播什么,他们才会播放什么。
The public opinionguidanceis doomed to be partialthat side the government, evensaid that the scenehad/left the situation of whatgovernment control. Has prepared the goodactor and imageinstallmentwill also guarantee, the audience before televisionwill only seescript that the federal governmentarranged.
舆论引导注定会偏向于政府那边,即便说现场出了什么政府控制不住的情况。早已经准备好的演员和影像装置也会确保,电视机前的观众只会看到联邦政府安排好的剧本。Even ifsaid that Frankhas not appearedhad not cared, becausetheyalsoprepared the actor, playedFrankthisrole. Butheappearsnow, thencould not use such a fellow.
哪怕说弗兰克没有出现也没有关心,因为他们也准备好了演员,也扮演弗兰克这个角色。只不过他现在出现了,那么也就用不上这样的一个家伙了。Presentsituationregardinggovernmentherepersonjust right. BecauseFrankappearson time, means that heas ifhaswith the meaning that theycompromise.
现在的情况对于政府这边的人来说正好。因为弗兰克准时出现,就意味着他似乎有和他们妥协的意思。Althoughsaid that theyincomparablyare hatingStark, wished one couldto swallow whole the Starkfamily'speople. Howeverlooked, in the Starkfamilyhasinhugewealth and capital, theypourare are not not willingto acceptFrank'scompromise.
尽管说他们无比痛恨着史塔克,恨不得把史塔克家族的人给一个个生吞活剥了。但是看在史塔克家族所拥有的的庞大财富和资本上,他们倒也不是不愿意接受弗兰克的这份妥协。So long ashe, is willingto accepttheirarrangementshonestly, thenputs his horse is not possiblebut actually, the key, does hehavethismeaningful glance.
只要他老实一点,愿意接受他们的安排的话,那么放他一马倒也未曾不可,关键还是,他有没有这个眼色。Jokes aside, thislets a matter that mostpoliticianscansuspect. Becausehisthesespoken languagescanlookonbefore, the habit of thisboy is almost same as hisdevilfather, isonehas keen eyesightinwithstand/top, habit that stirs up troubleunkindly.
说真的,这是让绝大多数的政客们都会怀疑的一件事情。因为就之前他的那些言语就能看得出来,这小子的习性几乎和他那个死鬼老爹一样,都是一个眼高于顶,刻薄挑事的习性。Theyhad endured the Tonydozensyears, alreadyto an exasperatedsituation. IfFrankreallywith his fathertemperament, thentheyhave not really been possibleto guarantee,oneselfcancontinueto endure.
他们已经忍了托尼几十年,早已经是到了一个忍无可忍的地步。所以如果弗兰克真的和他老爹一个脾气的话,那么他们还真不一定能够保证,自己能继续这么将忍下去。In briefisa few words, looks atthisboy'stoday'sperformance. Butis facingthisthreejoint hearinggeneralaspects, Frank is actually the mouthone, took the leadto flinga few words.
总之就是一句话,就看这小子今天的表现。而面对着这种三堂会审一般的局面,弗兰克却是嘴一咧的,就率先甩出了一句话来。„Iexplainedbeforehandtoeveryone, whatifyouschemedwasmyfamily'swealth, was sorryvery much,todayyoufearedmustarrive in high spiritsto return disappointed. Because ofme can guarantee, fromhere, even if the one centyoudo not wantto move out. IthrowinmoneyPacific Ocean, notcheapyoursuchgoods.”
“我事先向各位说明一下,如果你们图谋的是我家族的财富的话,那么很抱歉,今天你们怕是要乘兴而来败兴而归了。因为我可以向各位保证,从我这里,哪怕就是一分钱你们也别想搬走。我就是把钱都扔到太平洋里,也不会便宜了你们这样的货色。”Opens the mouthto express the feelings, the bulgepersontone that Frankthisandhisfatheris exactly the same is almost air/Qi a good and evilseveralgetting oldpoliticiansimmediately.
开口既是直抒胸臆,弗兰克这和他老爹如出一辙的胀人语气当即就把几个上了年纪的政客们差点气出个好歹来。Beforetheyare still thinking,thislittle fellowsuchhonestcoming, it is estimated thatwas afraidat heart, wantedto chat the condition. Nowtheylooktruly,othersabsolutelydo not havesuchidea, butspeciallytowreck the eventcomes.
之前他们还在想,这小家伙这么老实的过来,估计是心里害怕了,想要来谈谈条件了。现在他们才真正看出来,人家根本就没有这么个想法,而是专门为了砸场子过来的。Thenconforms toStarkin their mind. Naturally, theyalsoalwaysabhorsuchStark.
这才符合他们印象里的史塔克。当然,他们对这样的史塔克也从来都是深恶痛绝的。„Way that pays attention toyouto speak, Mr.Stark. Do not estimate the goal of thiscourtcasually. Thisistoblaspheming of law, isto the judicial fairnessslanderedignominiously!”
“注意你说话的方式,史塔克先生。不要随便揣度本法庭的目的。这是对法律的亵渎,是对司法公正的可耻诋毁!”„Good, ifyoumustflaunt itself.”
“好吧,如果你非要这么标榜自己的话。”Shrugs the arm, Frankentirelydoes not believe your group of badold men the expression of nonsense. Butlater, headdedto stop upagain.
耸了耸肩膀,弗兰克一副完全不相信你们这伙糟老头子的鬼话的表情。而随后,他就再次添堵了起来。„Sincemustsayfairly, thenIsuggestedto change a court. In view of the presentcelebrating a holiday between federal governmentandmy father, Ihope that thiscasecanacceptby the World Court. Meanwhile, Ialsohope that people all over the worldreview the supervisionandtothiscase, howyoufeel my idea, judgeSir?”
“既然要说公正,那么我建议换一个法庭。有鉴于现在的联邦政府和我父亲之间的过节,我希望本次案件能够由国际法庭受理。同时,我也希望世界各国人民都对本次案件进行监督和审查,您觉得我这个主意怎么样呢,法官大人?”
