InGreat FallsHoliday Inn. 40-year-oldJapanesemerchantTakeda Masao, lieson the bednowis thinking.大瀑布城的假日酒店里。40多岁的日本商人武田正男,如今躺在床上思索着。„InJapan, the cowis the NetherlandsHolsteinvariety, the chickenisLeghorn Chicken that Italyproduces, the pigisAmerican Duroc Breed, why can't Iexit|to speak the beef cattle?”
“在日本国内,奶牛是荷兰的荷尔斯泰因品种,鸡是意大利出产的来杭鸡,就连猪都是美国杜洛克品种,我为什么就不能出口肉牛呢?”BecausehemustsellJapanesebuthorses and oxento the BrokenBfarm, now more than 50peasant householdsalsoinhismain house gateprotest, butJapanesePeasant associationalsorequested that heconsidersthismatterover and over, butheis a verybiasedperson, theseTakeda Masaoandcaring.
就因为他要向BrokenB农场出售日本但马牛,如今有五十多个农户还在他家门口抗议,而日本农协也请求他再三考虑这件事,可他是个很偏执的人,这些武田正男并不在意。„Kobe Beef, althoughis good, itsquantitywere too small, Ihope that in the worldcaneat and person of beefthe more better.”Takeda Masaowants saying that „, ifonlyraisesinJapanwith the cow, will only maintainwith the price of beefin very highprice, how manypeoplewithoutcaneat, cannotpromote, whatwrong do Imakelike this?”
“神户牛肉虽然好,不过它的数量太少了,我希望世界上能够吃到和牛肉的人越多越好。”武田正男想道,“如果只在日本国内养和牛的话,只会把和牛肉的价格维持在很高的价位上,没有多少人能吃得起,并不能推广开来,我这样做有什么错?”But the horses and oxen is one of the cow, refers to the blackwool and type, the brownwool and type and Japaneseshorthornwith the cowplantsas well asdoes not havecorner/hornandthesefourJapaneseinherentcows, the high-qualitybeef that theyproducewas topped the Kobe Beefname.
但马牛是和牛的一种,和牛是指黑毛和种、褐毛和种、日本短角种以及无角和种这四种日本固有牛,他们出产的优质牛肉都被冠上神户牛肉的名字。Kobe Beefas the brand that one83yearsestablish, actuallydoes not raise the beef cattleinKobe. After Meiji Restoration, the entranceopensto the westerner, at that time the Japanesedid not eat the meat of fourleganimals.神户牛肉作为一个83年才创立的品牌,在神户其实是不养肉牛的。明治维新后,国门对西方人打开,当时日本人不吃四条腿动物的肉。
The westernersmusteat the beef, only thenKobehas, itsbecoming famousshouldgive credit toHyougo prefecturecounty magistrate who to KobeIto Hirobumi.
西方人要吃牛肉,只有神户才有,它的成名应该归功于神户所在的兵库县知事伊藤博文。Ito Hirobumioncestudied inBritainlong ago, likedeating the beef, after the Hyougo prefecturetook office, openskilled the cowto eat the meat the precedent, therefore the foreignerwantedto eat the beefonly to buytoKobe, „KobeBeef”( Kobe Beef) said.伊藤博文早年曾留学英国,喜欢上了吃牛肉,兵库县上任后开了杀牛吃肉的先例,所以外国人想要吃牛肉只能到神户买,“KobeBeef”(神户牛肉)就这么叫开了。It is saidonAugust 3 , 1978, had a fatherjustto givejust the birthsonto give a nameto callKobeBryant, acquired famebecause ofKobe Beef, thispresent12-year-oldKobe Bryant, grows up after probably, wantsto become the NBAplayer.
据说在1978年8月3日,有个父亲刚给刚出生儿子起名叫KobeBryant,就是因为神户牛肉而得名,这位现在才12岁的科比布莱恩特,好像长大后想成为NBA的球员。
The BrokenBfarmtakes one of the western Rocky Mountainsbiggestpastures, has124,000acresland, nearlystretches acrossthreecounties.
BrokenB农场做为落基山脉西侧最大的牧场之一,拥有着12.4万英亩的土地,近乎横跨三个县。
The owner in pasturehastwo, respectivelyisBillMooreandBillyMoore.
牧场的主人有两位,分别是比尔摩尔和比利摩尔。Twobrothersare engaged in the wall surfacecoatingbusiness, doneverygood, the pastureis their secondindustry, usuallyishires the managerto helphandle.
两位兄弟从事着墙面涂料生意,做的十分不错,牧场是他们的第二产业,平时都是雇佣经理在帮忙打理着。TodayBillyMoorereceives a call of Japanese, said that hewantsto sell200, buthorsecow breedcowtothempasture.
今天比利摩尔接到一个日本人的电话,说他想出售200头但马牛种牛给他们牧场。
After thismattertold the Elder Brother, BillandBillydo not care.
将这件事告诉哥哥之后,比尔和比利都不太在意。Whatthingbut is the horses and oxen? Kobe Beefweknowactually, nowthe world'smost expensivethat.
但马牛是个什么东西?神户牛肉我们倒是知道,如今世界上最贵的那种吗。HoweverraisedwithoxTainan, after whoknowsUnited States , does the hoar frost descendingmeatquality that theyproduce have is so good, moreovereachasks a price70,000US dollars, youdetermined that isn't selling the gold?
不过和牛太难养了,谁知道来美国之后它们出产的霜降肉质量还有没有那么好,而且每头要价7万美元,你确定不是在卖金子吗?Younger brotherBillydrives, goes toGreat FallsHoliday Inn, wantssamplecow that has a look atthatJapaneseto bring, arrives at the laterhoteltime, Takeda Masaohas stood outside greetshim.
弟弟比利开车,独自一人前往大瀑布城假日酒店,想要看看那个日本人带来的样品牛,到达之后酒店时候,武田正男已经站在外面迎接他。Two peoplearrivepreparein the goodsmallreception room, Billyhas not sat downopens the mouth saying: „50,000US dollarspricewas too high, 30,000US dollarseachonlyItake800stud bulls, otherwiseourpasturewill not needthem.”
两人来到准备好的小会客厅里,比利还没坐下就开口道:“5万美元价格太高了,3万美元每只我要800头种牛,不然我们牧场不会需要它们。”
The effect that hewantshas achieved, oppositeTakeda Masaohisstartledcould not speak, Billycontinued saying: „Youmustknow that thisis a veryriskyinvestment, besidesyourJapan, did not haveto breedtheirexperiencesinotherplacesnot.”
他想要的效果已经达到,对面武田正男被他惊的愣愣说不出话来,比利又继续说道:“你要知道这是次很有风险的投资,除了你们日本,在其他地方还没有过养殖它们的经验不是么。”„ButhorseDanniuproduces4000headsevery year, moreoverthisprice was really... is really insults the person!” The Takeda Masaocomplexionbecomes flushed, not the fluentEnglish was less agile.
“可马但牛每年才出产4000头啊,而且这价格真是...真是太侮辱人了!”武田正男脸色涨红,本就不流利的英文这下更加不利索了。Billydoes not return tohiswords, lifts the handto feelon the lip the beard, pulls out the cigarboxfrom the pocket, puts outto payin the handto prune, thisholds in the mouthin the mouthignites,
比利不回他的话,抬手摸摸嘴唇上胡须,从口袋里掏出雪茄盒,拿出一支放在手里修剪完,这才叼在嘴边点着,Spoutthick smoke: „I can only leavetothisprice, the incorrectwordsdo as you please.” The lip of Takeda Masaoair/Qitrembles.
吐出口浓烟,:“我只能出到这个价,不行的话请便。”武田正男气的嘴唇都哆嗦起来。NowJapanwas shouting that buysentireUnited States, becomes41 st the slogan of districtit.
现在日本国内正喊出买下整个美国,将它变为第四十一个县的口号。PreviouslyMitsubishiby1.4 billionUS dollars, had purchasedUnited Statessymbolconstruction- Rockefeller Center, butlast yearSonysuccessfullypurchased the United Statesentertainment industrygiant at a price of Something went wrong dollar, is one of the United Statesculturesymbols, ColombianMovieCompany.
此前三菱公司已经以14亿美元,购买了美国象征性建筑—洛克菲勒中心,而去年索尼公司更是[Not Found]成功购买了美国娱乐业巨头、也是美国文化的象征之一,哥伦比亚影片公司。As an honored and popularJapanese, wherehehas receivedsuchhumiliation, sets outimmediately, coldsnort/hum the soundwalkedoutward.
做为一个有头有脸的日本人,他哪里受到过这样的屈辱,立马起身,冷哼了声向外走去。Billysitsin the reception roomas before, waits for the cigarto pull outless than half, pinches outin the ash-tray, thisplansto leave.
比利依旧坐在会客厅里,等雪茄抽完小半,掐灭在烟灰缸里,这才打算动身。Hedid not worry that thisJapanesewill not look forhimagain, being have a liking for that has moneyto buyselects and cow, wantedandcannot affordthem, so long aswaited forbidsagainis OK.
他并不担心这个日本人不会再找他,有钱买的看不上这么点和牛,想要的又买不起它们,只要等待再次出价就可以了。

在几百公里外的雪山牧场。AlbertandHan Qianshansiton the sofaface-to-facedrink tea.艾伯特和韩千山面对面坐在沙发上喝茶。Afternoon tearegardingBritish peopleindispensable, Albertas an upper classperson who has the training, naturallycan the quality of tea leaves, put down the cupsay/way: „Today is really a fine weather, Han, thank yousuchgoodtea leaves.”
下午茶对于英国人来说不可或缺,艾伯特做为一个有修养的上层阶级人士,自然能品出茶叶的好坏,放下杯子道:“今天真是个好天气,韩,谢谢你这么好的茶叶。”„Theyaremy fatherbuyfromHuaxia, spring tea that this yearjustarrives, you, iflikedgoing backon the belt/bring.”Father Hansmilesis returningsaid.
“它们是我父亲从华夏买来的,今年刚到的春茶,你要是喜欢就带些回去好了。”韩父微笑着回道。Nearbyboyalsotreatsboredhere, the footsteps on McDull conducts the backto helpitmassage, McDulllieson the floorshows the comfortablefacial expression.
旁边男孩也无聊待在这里,脚踩在麦兜背上帮它按摩,麦兜则卧在地板上露出舒服神情。Not far awayFattyfollowsinMrs. Guobehind, whichkittenshearrives atto followto, ridiculesis giving a small fishto do, Fattyis then law-abiding.
不远处胖丁跟在郭母身后,她走到哪小猫就跟到哪,笑骂着又给个小鱼干,胖丁这才安分下来。
The talk in living roomis still continuing, Albertshows an exaggeratingexpression, said: „That too thankedyou, Imostlikeddrinking the good tea, could not buy the nicetea leavesinentireMontana! Right, heard that youbought the Old Augsgerpasture, is really a great writer, whatmattertodayasksmeto have?”
客厅里的谈话还在继续,艾伯特露出个夸张表情,说道:“那真的太感谢你啦,我最喜欢喝好茶了,在整个蒙大拿都买不到像样的茶叶!对了,听说你买下了老奥格斯格的牧场,真是个大手笔,今天叫我过来有什么事情吗?”Seesto talk about the proper business, Han Qianshannods saying: „Yes, because ofthatpasture, Ineedsto purchasesomecalvesnowagain.”
见谈到正事,韩千山点点头说道:“是的,就是因为那个牧场,现在我需要再购买一些牛犊。”„Previoustimeis very happywithyourgroup photo, good that verySimmental Cattlegrows, whatmethod do thistimeyouhaveto introduce?”
“上次跟你的合照很愉快,西门塔尔牛生长的很好,这次你有什么门路可以介绍吗?”Albertlooks the embarrassment: „Inmypasture that batch of calves of early springtimeallsold toyou, butIknow that otherpastureactuallyalsosome, is onlythisprice...”艾伯特面露难色:“我牧场里初春时候的那批小牛全卖给你了,但我知道其他牧场倒是还有些,只是这价格…”„Youcould rest assured that thisIwill not treat unjustlyyour, so long ascanbuy the calf that admires, after completing the business, Icangiveyou3%rewards.”Father Hansmilesto visithim, thensaid: „Many that weneed, probably4000cowsare enough.”
“你放心,这个我是不会亏待你的,只要能买到心仪的小牛,完成生意之后我可以给你百分之三的报酬。”韩父笑眯眯看着他,接着道:“我们需要的很多,大概4000头牛才足够。”SeniormerchantAlbertis immediately excited: „Haha, weare the friends. NorthTerleyPasturesomeAberdeen Angus, probably about 1300mustsell out, theycaneatnow, the pasturecould not have containedthey, thesewas better for fourmonthsto be big, buyingthemwas cost-effective!”
老商人艾伯特立马兴奋起来:“哈哈,我们是朋友嘛。北边特利牧场有些安格斯牛,大概有1300头左右要卖掉,它们现在太能吃了,牧场已经容纳不下它们,那些牛许多都四个多月大了,买下它们非常划算!”„That sideNorton and Siottotown/subdues have the friend of mine, believes that theywill helpmy, butprobablyrequires the time longer collects, buttwoweeksenough......”
“诺顿和肖托镇那边也有我的朋友,相信他们会帮助我的,只是可能需要时间长些来筹集,但两个星期时间就足够了……”Father Hansecuresits in meditationopposite ofhim, whenhesaid that continues: „Ithink that youmisunderstood, thismypasturenot onlyneedsAberdeen Angus, but alsowantssomeadvantagewoodento praisecowsto come the polyculture, Ithought before them, is much longerinAugsburg Ranch, the dressing percentage and hoar frost descendingare not many.”韩父安静坐在他对面,等他说完才继续:“我想你是误会了,这次我的牧场不仅需要安格斯牛,还要一些利木赞牛来混养,我看它们以前在奥格斯格牧场里长得挺好,出肉率和霜降也不多。”„Benefits the woodento praisecow? Thatvarietyare slightly less.”Albertpondered the little while: „Imustask that the friends of mine, shouldnot have the issue.”
“利木赞牛吗?那个品种稍微少些。”艾伯特沉思了会儿:“我要去问问我的朋友们,应该也没问题的。”Father Hansmiled, the standingbodyandAlbertshake hand: „Thattroubledyou, pleasepurchasethema bit faster, the forage grass in mypastureis aboutto leave uncultivatednow.”韩父笑了起来,站直身子和艾伯特握握手:“那就麻烦你了,请快点购买到它们,我牧场里的牧草现在都快荒废了。”„Haha, hereforage grassgrowswas good, Ihave not seen such fresh and tenderalfalfa, no wonder the goodpricesoldlast yearthathigh.”Albertsets out saying that plannedleavesto prepare.
“哈哈,这里牧草生长的太好了,我从没见过这么鲜嫩的紫花苜蓿,难怪去年你的牛价格卖得那么高。”艾伯特起身说道,打算离开回去准备。Justarrived at the entrance, as ifthoughtanything: „The previousmeetingtimeheard,recentlyhad a Japaneseto planto sell, buthorsecow breedcow, Hanyouinterested?”
刚到门口,似乎又想了起什么:“上次聚会时候听说,最近有个日本人打算卖但马牛种牛,韩你有兴趣吗?”„Buthorses and oxen? Thattypeblackandcow?” The smallHan Xuanprick earhearshiswords, quicklyaskedtoAlbert.
“但马牛?那种黑色的和牛?”小韩宣竖耳听到他的话,急忙问向艾伯特。
The seniormerchantnods: „Ischild, youunderstandmaybe really many, right, isthey.”
老商人点点头:“是的小孩,你了解的可真多啊,没错,就是它们。”„Somehow manystud bullsells? ThatpersonnowinUnited States?”Han Xuanpursuesasks. „Nowheseemed likeGreat Falls, about 200, heard that nowis contactingwithMooretwo brothers. Is the BrokenBbigrancher, makeswall paintbusiness that the priceis too highnot to discuss.”
“有多少种牛出售?那个人现在就在美国吗?”韩宣追问道。“现在他好像到了大瀑布城,有两百头左右,听说现在在和摩尔兄弟俩联系。哦,就是BrokenB的大牧场主,做墙漆生意那个,价格太高还没谈成吧。”AlthoughFather Handoes not know that the son why so interested, the tacit understandingis helpingasking: „Canaskyouto contact withhim? Raises some stud bulls of Japanagainas ifalsowell, the rewardwithjustsaid is the same.”韩父虽然不知道儿子为什么这么有兴趣,还是默契帮着问道:“可以请你联系他吗?再养些日本的种牛似乎也不错,报酬和刚刚说的一样。”Albertnods: „Good, Iunderand othersmanage.”艾伯特点点头:“好的,我等下就去办。”Han Xuanlooks that oldBMWleaves, turning the headsmiles: „Never expected thatBethunecameUnited States.”韩宣看着老宝马离开,转过头嘿嘿一笑:“没想到日本白求恩还是来美国了。”
The fatherhearshiswords: „Bethune?”
父亲听到他的话:“白求恩?”„Right, heis a selflessperson.” The boysnod, raise legsto move towardin the room.
“对,他是个无私的人。”男孩点点头,抬腿走向屋里。Onlyleaves behind the father who is confusedto treatin the corridor, Han Qianshanshrugs, withenteringinroom.
