Han Xuanjustgot out of bed, the hairis somewhat chaotic, in having a drowsy look, onlyputs on a greyto be small, barefootwalkstoward the cloak room.纽约三月平均气温只有一到九度,早上尤其冷,位于曼哈顿上西区的六层楼,都开着暖气。韩宣刚起床,头发有些乱,睡眼惺忪,只穿个灰色小内内,光脚往衣帽间走去。
The roomhas more than 20squares, the surroundingsare the open typecloset, the old persongives the grandsonto remainspecially, thistimeknows that hemustcome, preparedmanynewclothes, oldthesealsohanghere, seestheirHan Xuanspeechless.
房间有二十多个平方,周围是敞开式衣柜,老人专门给孙子留的,这次知道他要过来,准备了不少新衣服,旧的那些也挂在这里,看到它们韩宣一阵无语。Inintermediate glasscounteralsosomewatch cases, fromDisneyMickey Mousecartoontable, tointernational, BreguetandVacheron Constantin, every large or small40-50.
中间玻璃柜台里还有些手表盒,从迪士尼米老鼠卡通表,到万国、宝玑、江诗丹顿,大大小小40-50个。

男孩拿了几件衣服,站在试衣镜前比划,很快挑了件红白格子毛衣,在外面加上绵羊皮翻领小皮衣,选顶白色洋基队棒球帽,反扣在头上,抬腿往外。
The restroomwindowhas not closed, cold windblowscoolly, Han Xuanlowers the head: „Pants......”
厕所窗户没关好,一阵冷风吹进来凉飕飕的,韩宣低头:“裤子......”Washes, alongtwobuildingstaircasesdownward, the Yuanblue and white potteryghostmilletdescending the mountainbigpotplaces the corner, sinceappraisesis the real thing, itstreatingbig change, with the coverglass, under the breaker stripgolden colorrug, howis seeingat conveniencenownoblly.
洗漱完,沿二楼楼梯往下,元青花鬼谷子下山大罐放在拐角,自从鉴定过是真品,它的待遇便鸟枪换炮,现在用个玻璃罩着,底下垫层金色绒毯,怎么看都高贵。
More than threeyears, herechangesis not big, withprevioustimecomesalmost, Qing Dynasty vaseis placedin the living roomas before, Suncomes from the windowphoto, the luxuriant green, almostpunctures the blindHan Xuaneye.
三年多时间,这里变化并不大,和上次过来差不多,清代粉彩花瓶依旧摆在客厅里,太阳从窗户照进来,绿意盎然,差点刺瞎韩宣眼睛。„Whatthing?”Walksto put out a hand, feels like the emerald, highly about 30centimeters, the widealso20centimeters, thisthingheknows, what is so bigis first sees.
“什么东西?”走过去伸手,感觉像是翡翠,高度三十厘米左右,宽也有二十厘米,这东西他知道,但这么大的还是头一回见。„Young ladGoddess of Mercyemeraldsuspends, buysinHong Kongbusiness triptime, has an old thing to withmesnatch, has not falleninmyhand.” The old manshakes the newspaper, the expressionis very contented, as ifcelebrates a holidaytothatperson that hesaid.
“童子观音翡翠摆件,在香港出差时候买来的,有个老东西死活要跟我抢,还不是落我手里了。”老头抖抖报纸,表情很自得,似乎跟他说的那人有过节。
The westvery fewsaw the emerald, Han Xuanalmostforgotthistype of thing, in the futurepriceoneyearwill turnonetime.
西方很少见到翡翠,韩宣差点忘了这种东西,往后价格一年翻一倍。Now, Huaxiajustopens, in peoplecapturedo not havemoney, does not regard the fool, the Burmesewhitevegetable pricesellsthis, puts downto suspendto arrive in front of the grandfatherto sit down: „Canbuy.”
现在嘛,华夏刚开放,人们兜里没钱,当不成冤大头,缅甸白菜价卖这个,放下摆件来到爷爷面前坐下:“能多买点。”Pulls out the grandmotheremerald of chestto refer to: „After Ilook, compared withthisexpensive/noble.”
掏出胸口的祖母绿宝石指指:“我看以后比这个贵。”Old Man Hansaidcareless: „ThingisQing Dynasty, 7.7kilograms, lookeditsufficesto be big, worksalsowell, Iwill not buy, 3 millionUS dollars. Taipeihas the emeraldcabbage of Cixito regardis the most precious possession, thatis valuable.”韩老爷子漫不经心道:“东西是清代的,7.7公斤,要不是看它够大,做工也好,我才不会买,300万美元呢。台北有个慈禧的翡翠白菜当成是镇馆之宝,那才值钱。”„I, no matter, youdo buy.”
“我不管,你买不买。”„Buys! Drawsto pileyourroomwith the truck, looked that yourestin the evening.”Acted like a spoiled bratby the grandsonamusing, the old mancloses the newspaperto set out, pusheshimto walktoward the restaurant, mouthopens the mouth: „Firsthas the breakfast, thesejadeitesI make one manage, knows that yourvisionis good, waitsto go to an undercityagain, in the last several dayswas all right, accompaniedyou.”
“买!用卡车拉来堆你房间,看你晚上睡哪。”被孙子撒娇给逗乐了,老头合上报纸起身,推着他往餐厅走,嘴里开口:“先去吃早饭,那些翡翠我让人去办,知道你眼光好,等下再去趟下城,最近几天没事,都陪你。”„Right, myGrandma?”Han Xuansitsnear the table, withomelettesandwich, eatswhileasked.
“对了,我奶奶呢?”韩宣坐在桌边,拿块煎蛋三明治,边吃边问道。„Travelled, South America, multi-Sirs, got togetherwith the frienddaily, did not manageher.”
“去旅游了,南美洲还是哪的,都多大人了,天天跟朋友聚会,不管她。”„ThatisGrandmawill enjoy.”
“那是奶奶会享受。”„Fart, throwsmeinLos Angeles, finishesto go home the hot soupnot to drink, just likeyour father, supercilious lookwolf.”
“屁,丢我一个人在洛杉矶,忙完回家连热汤都喝不到,跟你爸一样,白眼狼。”„Shecame backmeto tellher.”Drinks a warmmilkleisurely, the boysmilesbadly.
“等她回来我会告诉她的。”慢条斯理喝口温牛奶,男孩坏笑。„...... Leaves!”
“……別!”

……Because ofUNHeadquartershere, New Yorkthenbecame the diplomaticmetropolis/can of the world.
因为联合国总部在这里,纽约便成了世界的外交都会。Various countriesinUNdiplomathave toliveinNew York, Han Xuansawsomeexceptionallyfamiliarrednational flag.
各国驻联合国外交官不得不住在纽约,韩宣就看到了某个异常熟悉的红色国旗。CurrentlyEurope and USrarelyhave the newsto reportitdirectly, how is poorandbackward, thismakes the boysomewhatlose, anticipated that itcanvigorouslydevelopalong the previous generationpath.
现在欧美很少有新闻正面报道它,都是怎样贫穷和落后,这让男孩有些失落,期待它能沿着前世轨迹蓬勃发展。Mastergrandsonfinish the matter, comes backfrombelowcity, has probably any important meeting, nearby the 1st Avenue42streetnearbyUNbuildings, the streetset upmanyroadblocks.
爷孙俩忙完事情,从下城回来,像是有什么重要会议,第一大道四十二街附近的联合国大楼附近,街道设了很多路障。
The policeare also fully-armed, inspectsin the surroundings, making the crowdedtransportationstop up,
警察也荷枪实弹,在周围巡视,令到本就拥挤的交通更加堵塞,Tocommercialair/QithickNew York, covers another atmosphere. Mistrusting each otherdiplomaticmetropolis/can.
给商业气浓厚的纽约,蒙上另一种氛围。尔虞我诈的外交都会。Not far awaythatmerely500metersWall Street, has more than 2000banks, securities, insurance, stock transactionand othercompanies.
不远处那条仅仅五百米长的华尔街,有着两千多家银行、证券、保险、股票交易等公司。
On December 25 , 1991, Soviet Unionwas announced the disintegration, the financialentrepreneur of thisgroup of suit and dress shoesdiscoveredpleasantly surprised,originally the grand feastjust nowstarts, encircledall round, prepared the suck dryitslastdrop of blood.
1991年12月25日,苏联被宣布解体,这帮西装革履的金融企业家惊喜发现,原来盛宴才刚开始,团团围过去,准备吸干它最后一滴血。HoweverthesepresentandHan Xuanhave not related, traffic jamsto stop upannoyed, is complainingto the old man: „If we had knownmakesBenjamindrive the helicopterto deliverus, herecar(riage)were too many, do wewantto go?”
不过这些现在和韩宣没关系,堵车堵得心烦,对老头抱怨着:“早知道让本杰明开直升机送我们,这里车太多了,还有我们要去哪?”„Has a goodthing to buy, the shop ownertoldmelast month, did not have the timeto go, todayjust.”Old Man Hanhas not calledsmallJohnto come, oneselfdrive.
“有个好东西要买,店主上个月就告诉我了,一直没时间去,今天刚好。”韩老爷子没叫小约翰过来,自己开车。Nearbypoliceare polite, makingBentleyfirstwalkfrom the public transportationtraffic lane, the public transportationalsostops upin any caseinbehind.
旁边警察还算客气,让宾利从公交车道上先走,反正公交车还堵在后面。Otherdriversare unalarmed by strange sights, becausehereisNew York, probably the rich manenjoys the privilege should be.
其他司机见怪不怪,因为这里是纽约,好像有钱人享受特权是应该的。Has a black personto traffic jamsto delay the matter, debates unceasinglywith the police, the seniorpolicethought that hehas the assaultsuspicion, draws out the spear/gunimmediately, the surroundingscalm downquickly.
有个黑人堵车耽误自己事情,和警察争论不休,老警察觉得他有袭警嫌疑,立马拔出枪,周围很快静下来。
The proceedingpathbecomesunobstructed, after more than tenminutes, arrives at the Manhattanartantiquecenter, Han Xuanlooks out, the two sideshavemanygalleries and antique stores, family/homemuseumconstructionintersectioncorner.
往前道路变得通畅,十多分钟后到达曼哈顿艺术古玩中心,韩宣往外看去,两边有不少画廊和古董店,还有家博物馆建筑十字路口拐角。Withplays the timeto be differentinPanjiayuan, herehas no youngstall keeper, at least is also severalsquaresshop, sellssome„handicraft”to give the tourist.
和在潘家园玩时候不同,这里没什么小摊贩,至少也是几平方的店铺,卖些“工艺品”给游客。
The lanefrom20multi-layeroldbuildingstartsto stop the car(riage)to the underground parking garage, builton the elevatortothreebuildings, the gatejustopened, several hundredevenshopsentered the Han Xuanline of sight.
从二十多层老楼旁巷子开进去将车停到地下停车场,搭电梯上到三楼,门刚打开,几百平店铺进入韩宣视线。Inside is like the jewelryexposition, varioustypes of antiqueslockin the display window, the pure whitelighthits above, the glasslooksverythick, the cornermonitoring devicefollowstheyto move, the black clothesguyopens the iron gate, sends out the lightsound.
里面跟珠宝展览会一样,各种古董锁在橱窗中,纯白灯光打在上面,玻璃看起来很厚实,拐角监视器跟着他们俩移动,黑衣大汉将铁门打开,发出轻响。Howdoes not know, the Han Xuanheadjumpedinyesterday'smoviesometransactionpicture, othercustomerscarried the champagneto strollluckily, thisdispelledhismisgivings, the feelingwas at heart funny, butoneselfbiologicalgrandson.
不知怎么的,韩宣脑袋蹦出昨天电影里某种交易画面,幸好还有其他顾客端着香槟闲逛,这才打消他的顾虑,心里感觉好笑,自己可是亲孙子。
The forefrontis putting more than 20centimetersbronzeware, the boylooked at the eyeto know that waswhichcountry, the vermilion birdmodelingcharacteristicswere too conspicuous, walkedto take a look, abovewith honest price tag displayed, 650,000US dollars.
最前面放着个二十多厘米青铜器,男孩看了眼就知道是哪个国家的,朱雀造型特征太显眼了,走过去瞧瞧,上面明码标价,六十五万美元。Old Man Hanexcept fordoing business, such a hobby, wasbeforehas comeprobably, selected the new goodscarefullyto lookspecially.韩老爷子除了做生意,就这么一个爱好,大概是以前来过,专挑新货仔细看。
The boysarrive by him, insidewas the Hongwu of Mingunderglazed redpeonychrysanthemumlarge bowl, do not ask why Han Xuanknew, in the product labelused the Sino-UKdoublearticleto writeclearly.
男孩来到他旁边,里面是件明洪武釉里红牡丹菊花大碗,别问韩宣为什么认识,标牌上用中英双文清楚写着呢。Did not know,underalsohasJapanese.
再不认识,底下还有日文。„ThisthingIknow, does 89years of timesold20.35 millionHong Kong dollarsinHong Kong, nowsell for2.2 millionUS dollars?” The Old Man Hanmouthis whispering.
“这东西我知道,89年时候在香港卖了2035万港币,现在才卖220万美元?”韩老爷子嘴里嘀咕着。
The boyconnectionsaid: „Now the exchange rate1 : 7.75, calculate that was cheap?”
男孩接口说道:“现在汇率一比七点七五,算下来还便宜了?”„Almost, the auction pricehas the equivalent height.”Said that to the grandsonbeckons: „Madame? Pleasewithlook attomethis.”
“差不多吧,拍卖价格有虚高。”对孙子说完招手:“女士?请把这个拿给我看下。”„Mister, youwere really insightful, couple of days agojustarrived, manypeoplehave askedit.”
“先生,你真有眼光,前两天刚到的,很多人都来问过它。”Han Xuanhearsherto speak, touches the chin.韩宣听到她说话,摸了摸下巴。„ThenlikeinPanjiayuan.”
