“李先生,要不要先去吃点东西?”江保健见李和盯着病房里面出神,善意的提醒道,“吴先生暂时是不会有事情的。”„Looks for an inncasually.”Fromalighting from the airplaneto the present, Li Hehas been emptying the belly.
“随便找一家馆子吧。”从下飞机到现在,李和一直都是空着肚子的。Suncame out, the mistdoes not have the astigmatismfreely, butcanlook at a general idea the appearance/portrait of New York.
太阳出来了,雾气尽管没有散光,但是可以把纽约的真容看个大概了。FirsttimecomesLi He of New Yorkto be hardto believeheresodirtysochaotic, the pedestrianandbicycle, ride a bicycle, the pedicabparallel, whatfinding at everywhereis the fast-foodtrash and canjar, at sixes and sevensshopping bag.
第一次来纽约的李和难以相信这里的如此脏如此混乱,行人、自行车、骑车、人力三轮车并行,随处可见的是快餐垃圾、易拉罐瓶子,乱七八糟的购物袋。Walks the halfwaygroundalsoto jump out a mousie.
走半路地上还窜出个小老鼠。After allhehad gone toWashington, the impressionis very good, clean, afforestsis much better.
毕竟他曾经去过华盛顿的,印象很不错,干净,绿化好得令人发指。„Mr.Li, you have not experiencedunder the subway, dirtyis more chaotic, everywhereis the doodle, the trash and tramp.”Riverhealthcaretheseyearsbecause of the official business, the intercourseUSandEuropeare the routine matter, the flying trapeze of being worthy of the reputation.
“李先生,你还没有见识过地铁下面,更脏更乱,到处是涂鸦,垃圾和流浪汉。”江保健这些年因为公事,往来美国和欧洲已经是常事,名副其实的空中飞人。Li Hethinksnot to feel strange that New Yorkhasin the worldafter all the biggesttrashlandfill, the Fulaishiriveris levelledbasically.李和想想也就不奇怪了,毕竟纽约有世界上最大的垃圾填埋场,弗莱士河基本被填平了。Theirsuchonecrowd of whiteandblack, the yellowracecombines the community, has not brought in the bigattentionon the avenue, what the introductionfocuses attention onisthatlong stringboldcar(riage)team.
他们这么一群白色、黑色,黄色的人种组合群体,在大街上并没有引来多大的关注,引入瞩目的是那一长串的豪车队伍。Thisluxuriousmotorcadeare manyinNew York, butis uncommon.
这种豪华车队在纽约并不少,但是不常见。

伊万诺夫在美国混的彻底风生水起的原因,首要一条就是他够白,美国人的种族歧视有很仔细的分级,最高的当然是盎格鲁撒克逊白人,其次就是他这种东欧白,爱尔老白,东欧白河西欧白。Suchwas the yellow race and black, was quite specialas for the Jew, generallywas in the mid-position.
更此等就是黄种和黑色了,至于犹太人比较特殊,一般居于中间地位。So long asis whiteenough, does not have the issuein the mainstreamcircle of US, many Russianmixin the USgood.
只要够白,在美国的主流圈就没有问题,有不少俄裔在美国混的都不错。For exampleLehneAnduo, Portman, QiaoLowicz, Harrison Ford, Sergey Brin, BulawayoTonuk, magnificenceNayafourbrothers.
比如莱纳昂多,波特曼,乔沃维奇,哈里森福特、谢尔盖・布林、布拉瓦特尼克、华纳家四兄弟。Moreover after hecomes to the US, notpuresticks togetheramong the whiteRussian, butnears the former Soviet Unionareato comedesirably, unites all forces that can be united.
而且他来美国之后,没有单纯的在白俄罗斯人中间抱团,而是刻意接近前苏联地区过来的,团结一切可以团结的力量。Meanwhile, the capitalcountrycharacteristics of UScandecidehisliveis very merry, will be very comfortable, wherearrives atnot to have the repel.
同时,美国的资本型国家特征可以决定他活的很快活,很舒服,走到哪里都不会有排斥。riverBaojianknows that Li Hecannot have the western-style food, thereforeinstructedspecially the drivergoes to the Chinatown.
江保健知道李和吃不惯西餐,所以特意指示司机去唐人街。
The vehicleentersNew YorkLower East SideChinatown, hereis staleandmessy and dirty.
车子进入纽约下东城唐人街,这里更加的陈腐和脏乱。

传统的一家一店,老板坐在精雕细刻的老式桌前管账的杂货店,一家挨着一家。Hereexcept fordailysundriesshop, mostis the hotel, variousdomesticcuisineshavebasically.
这里除了日用杂品店,最多的就是饭店,各种国内的菜式基本都有。In the pastbecauseChineseliteracy rateloweredwas usedto write a letter the remittance„post officestore” the businessto be still prosperous

除了街道两旁,包括地下室都有店家外,人行道上搭起的铺位也是一大长串,主要是因为付不起昂贵的租金。Heremostcolorsare the yellow, after China , USestablish diplomatic relations, emerged more and more Chinese, theyusuallytakeshereas the going to USfirststation, the Chinesetotalhasto surmount the trend in San Franciscofaintly.
这里最多的颜色就是黄色,中美建交以后,涌入了越来越多的中国人,他们通常把这里作为赴美的第一站,华人总数隐隐有超越旧金山的趋势。
The Li Hechartis peaceful, has not enteredrepairto be luxurious, lifebubbling like a caldronmajor and mediumdining room, but the smallChinese restaurants of many foreigners.李和图安静,没有进装修豪华、人生鼎沸的大中餐厅,而是有许多老外的小型中餐馆。„Chinatownmainsupportindustryis the clothingindustry and dining, the ChineseinUShas the larger partactuallymakesthis, but the USeconomydeclinesin the two years, simultaneouslyyoualsoknow, fierce that ourdomestictextile industryattackin the two years, thisgarment factorydid not feel better, made the dininginsteadwere even more many, includingneighboringBrooklyn110ChinaStores, mainly the thresholdwas low, did not needmanyskills, the Chinese of herelarger partwill not speakEnglish, otherprofessioncould not do.” After riverBaojiansits down, mustcomepotplain boiled waterfromservice personwhere , to continue fullyto the Li Heteapot, thencontinues saying that „, no matterourChineseor the foreignerlikecomingto eat, is notbecause the vegetable/dishis good, because cheap, the restuaranteats, wants20-30casually, eatslunchalso56in the Chinese restaurant.”
“唐人街主要的支撑产业是制衣业和餐饮,在美国的华人倒是有一大半是做这个的,只是这两年美国经济下滑,同时你也知道,咱们国内的纺织业这两年冲击的厉害,这片的制衣厂都是不太好过,做餐饮的反而越发多了,连相邻的布鲁克林都有110家中国商店,主要还是门槛低,不需要多少技能,这里一大半的华人不会讲英语,其它行业也做不来。”江保健坐下后从服务员哪里要来一壶白开水,给李和的茶壶续满,然后继续道,“不管是咱们中国人还是老外都喜欢来吃,不是因为菜好,而是因为便宜,西餐厅吃一顿,随便都要二三十,在中餐馆吃个便当也就56块。”Li Hesmiles, the meager profit but high turnoveristo enterin the Chinesebone, the Chinesesellsanysmall advantage, buysanyexpensive, thisissomething to be talked about later.李和笑笑,薄利多销是入中国人骨子里的,中国人卖什么什么便宜,买什么什么贵,这是后话。„Wu Pobecause ofwhatmatter?”
“吴波到底是因为什么出的事情?”The one whoaskedwasIvanov, the eyeactuallylookedto the riverhealthcare.
问的是伊万诺夫,眼睛却是看向了江保健。Ivanovjust about tosaysEnglish, Li Hebreaksimmediately, „spokeRussian.”
伊万诺夫刚要开口说英语,李和立刻打断,“说俄语。”Ivanovsaid,„Mr.WulivesinBrooklyn'sapartment, therepublic securityis always good, thereforeMr.Wustays a stageafterhererefusesagainour, hesaidhimto be only willingwithoneselfemployeein the same place.

伊万诺夫道,“吴先生住在布鲁克林的公寓,那里的治安一向不错的,所以吴先生在这边呆一阶段以后拒绝再让我们的人跟着,他说他只愿意和自己的公司员工在一起。吴先生是和公司的五名员工住在一起的,前天他下楼买烟,他的同事左右见他不回来,就下来找他,结果发现他已经被送到医院,根据警察的初步判断,可能是抢劫,具体发生了什么,需要等他醒来才能知道,不过李先生你放心,我已经派人在调查。”FullawithEnglish translation, however the Hou JianghealthcaresupplementedinChinese.
巴芙拉用英语翻译一遍,然后江保健跟着用中文补充。„Thenhewoke upon.”Only thenWu Powere clearest, Li HealsoimmediatelyaskedIvanov, „were youwhat kind in the real estatebusiness of New York?”
“那就等他醒来吧。”只有吴波自己最清楚了,李和又随即问伊万诺夫,“你在纽约的地产生意怎么样?”Li Henowbasicideainreal estate, domesticandoverseashesimultaneouslyinlayout.李和现在基本的想法都在地产这一块,国内和国外他都同时在布局。ShenDaoru, Yu Dehua, Chen Lihuahave begun to take shapein the real estate project of BritishandHong Kong, the domesticreal estate projectpresentis an accumulationtime, the trueeruptionprobablytakesseveralyears.
沈道如、于德华、陈立华在英国和香港的地产项目已经初具规模,国内的地产项目当前还是一个积累期,真正的爆发起来可能还是需要几年。Only thenIvanov is healsotooclearisanysituation, butknows that buys the Rockefellerbuilding.
只有伊万诺夫这边他还是不是太清楚是什么情况,只是知道才买下洛克菲勒大厦。„Is good, is good!”
“非常棒,非常好!”TranslatorFulla, intentionallyandexcitedimitatedIvanov'sthatexaggeration, caused that everybodylaughed.
巴芙拉翻译的时候,故意把伊万诺夫的那种夸张和激动都模仿出来了,引得大家一阵大笑。„Sunsetpark, Williamsburg, Bejuy'sgoodhouse pricein this year2%growth, includingQueensland parcel that wejustattained, it is expected thatconstruction513apartmentapartments.”
“日落公园,威廉斯堡,贝瑞佳的房价这一年有2%的增长,包括我们刚刚拿到的皇后区的地块,预计建设建设513个公寓单元房。”„Whatstagewas in?” The real estateindustry of Li HetoUS is also the one who has eyes yet fails to see, knows nothingradically.
“进入什么阶段了?”李和对美国的地产业也是睁眼瞎,根本一窍不通。„Was in the relocationstage.”Fullagrewwith the Ivanovtime, something shecanreply.
“已经进入了拆迁阶段。”巴芙拉跟着伊万诺夫时间长了,有些东西她自己都能回答上来。
„ Whatissuethis won't have? Hashouse-owner who seizes the chanceto ask a price. „ Directiondid not insertoneon own initiative, is purelyiscurious.
“这个不会有什么问题吧?有没有趁机要价的房主。“方向不自觉的插了一句,纯属是好奇。Li Heansweredwith a smile,„what the US was only sacredly inviolablewas the tax revenue!”李和笑着解释道,“美国唯一神圣不可侵犯的是税收!”„Whatmeaning?” The directionis puzzled, „thismaywithdomesticbe different, othersprivate propertycannotsay that opensopens?”
“什么意思?”方向不解,“这可和国内不一样,人家的私有财产不能说拆就拆吧?”Saw that Li Heand the otherstalkedinChinesesuddenly, Ivanovand the otherswere also puzzled, becausecould not understandcompletely.
看到李和等人突然用中文交谈,伊万诺夫等人也跟着不解,因为完全听不懂。Li Hesays with a smile, „the United States is a little different from ourhome, does not haveperson who stubbornly resists movingword, becausecannot handle the person who stubbornly resists moving.”李和笑着道,“美国跟咱国内有一点不一样,就是没钉子户这个词,因为当不起钉子户。”
The riverhealthcarealsoadds, „the UShas the property tax, not onlypurchases homes to pay taxes, but after must pay taxes every year. Ineachstateas well as the state the standards of variouscountycitycollectionproperty taxesare different, the tax ratedistributesin1%-3%, andevery yearwill changeaccording to the budgetdemand of local government. Generallyisoneyearhands overonetime.”
江保健也补充道,“美国是有房产税的,不但买房要交税,而且以后的每一年都要交税。每个州以及州内各县市征收房产税的标准都不同,税率分布在1%-3%不等,并且每年都会根据地方政府的预算需求而改变。一般都是一年交一次。”„Thishouseboughtinown, why the followingevery year can also pay taxes?” The directionis incomprehensibletoAmerican thought that althoughhehas also had the higher education.
“这房子都买在自己手里了,凭啥后面每年还要交税?”方向对美国佬这种思维不能理解,尽管他也是受过高等教育的。riverBaojian said that „, not only need pay taxes, if the loanpurchases homes, but must on the building insurance, thisalsobe a sum of money. If the house-ownerstoppedpaying taxes, the houseproperty rightswere the US government, after the taxesfundsandpunished the breathfinewas the certain extent, the local government can falling behind the property taxreal estateadoptsleaving aloneandauction.”
江保健道,“不但要交税,如果是贷款买房,还必须上房屋保险,这也是一笔钱。假如房主停止缴税了,房子所有权就属于美国政府,当所欠税款和罚息罚金达到一定程度后,地方政府可以对拖欠房产税房产采取留置、拍卖。”
The directionhehesaid with a smile, „the land of thatfarmer?”
方向呵呵笑道,“那农民的土地呢?”riverBaojiansaid,„Ijustcameseveral, tounderstand the US, inquiredactuallymuch, maynot be many, the tax revenueIwas not clear, was same as the city, was not comfortable, was managed, for exampleNew York, thishouseplantedanytree, plantedanyflower unable to take responsibility, the pasturewas also same, the housecoveredanyappearance, anyappearance, anyaltitude, in a cornplanted the wheatis the relevant departmentsdecides, requested the unification, otherwiseonwasmustpunish.”
江保健道,“我刚来几趟,为了多了解美国,倒是打听不少,可也不多,税收我是不清楚,可是跟城里一样,都不自在,受人管,比如纽约,这屋前屋后种什么树,养什么花都是不能自己做主的,牧场也是一样的,房子盖什么样子,什么样子,什么高度,地里种玉米还是种小麦都是有关部门说了算,都要求统一,否则就是要罚。”„ThereforemanyAmericanscan purchase homes, butnotnecessarilycan raise the room.” The mealendcomes up, Li Hehas clampedchickenfirst, the knitting the browshead, does not meet one's tasteprobably, butcontinues saying that „, therefore the USisin the worldmoves the frequentmostcountries, generallylikesmoving to the remotepointplaceoris the property taxlowsection, the old person who especiallyretires, mostlikesmoving, toreduce the expenses, the bighousewill change the smallhousegenerally.”
“所以很多美国人是买得起房,但是不一定养得起房。”饭菜端上来,李和先夹了一块鸡肉,皱了皱眉头,大概是不合口味,不过还是继续道,“所以美国是世界上搬家频繁最多的国家,一般都喜欢搬到偏僻一点的地方或者是房产税低的地段,特别是退休的老人,最喜欢搬家,为了减少开销,一般都会大房子换小房子。”
When EuropeanimmigrantstoNorth Americaoncehad a famousslogan: Wherehas the bread, whereis a motherland. ”
欧洲移民到北美时就曾有一句著名的口号:哪里有面包,哪里就是祖国。”
The modernAmericanalsoinheritedthisspirit, whereproperty taxis low, where the homemoves.
现代美国人也继承了这种精神,哪里房产税低,就把家搬到哪里。„Can't thatsomehousesopencasually?” The directionfelt that riverhealthcareandLi Hetalked about the branch the topic, breaking off.
“那有些房子也不能随便拆吧?”方向感觉江保健和李和把话题聊岔了,又给掰回来。riverBaojiansaid,„thatwas simple, the additionalproperty tax, under the law, every several other yearsmustre-evaluate the priceto the house price, taxes, the UShas a departmentto make the house priceappraisalspecially, if the house priceappraisedhigh, youcould not live, somewere the methodcatches up withyouto walk. Moreover the land requisitioning system of USis quite strong, the governmenthas the land expropriationpower, so long asgovernmentforpublicgoalland-levying, andgives the originallandholderto compensatewith the suitablemarket price, the land acquisitionis irresistible. The UShastwoiron rules, do not annoyto collect taxes, do not annoy the police.”
江保健道,“那就简单了,加房产税啊,按照法律,每隔个几年就要对房价重新评估价格,重新计税,美国有一个部门是专门做房价评估的,要是房价评估高了,你真住不起,有的是法子赶你走。而且美国的土地征用制度比较强硬,政府有土地征用权,只要政府是用于公共目的征地,并且用适合的市场价格给予原土地所有者补偿,征用土地就是不可抗拒的。美国有两条铁律,一个是不要惹收税的,一个就是不要惹警察。”„Right that said.”Li HealsohearsWanto smile.
“说的对。”李和也不禁听得莞儿一笑。Anyprivate propertyis sacred ’ the piece, is the domesticadore/admireYangdogslicks, United States Constitutionthis, the Europeanconstitutionhas not had, only then the Frenchrevoltshas shown offseveral.
什么私有财产神圣不可侵犯’的段子,都是国内的慕洋犬们舔出来的,美国宪法没这条,欧洲宪法也没,只有法国人造反的时候卖弄了几句。No mattertoanycountry, anypolitical power, manifestation of will to poweris a symbol of countrysovereignty, is the tool of ruling class.
不管对什么国家,什么政权来说,权力意志的体现是一国主权的象征,是统治阶级的工具。
