„What kind of? Is the equipment operationusual?”Yang Guoaskedin a low voice.
“怎么样?设备运转如常吧?”杨果低声问道。„Does not have the issue, the video playeris very clear!” The Zheng Yujieassistanteyeglassesyounger sisterhas gesticulated a OKhand signal.
“没问题,视频播放很清晰!”郑雨洁的助手眼镜妹比划了一个OK的手势。„She? Whathasto discoverexceptionally?”Yang Guoasked.
“她呢?有没有发现什么异常?”杨果问道。„No, staysin the cribpeacefullyplays with the toy, butoccasionallywatches the television.” The eyeglassesyounger sistersaidearnestly.
“没有,安安静静地呆在婴儿床里面玩玩具,只是偶尔看一看电视。”眼镜妹认真地说道。Zheng Yujieonetakes the Yang Guocell phone, before the camerasaid: „ThatQiqigaveyou, the attendance, do not have problemswell!”郑雨洁一把拿过杨果的手机,对着前摄像头说道:“那琪琪就交给你了,好好照顾,别出什么问题!”„Yes, Boss!” The eyeglassesyounger sistersternsaid.
“是,老大!”眼镜妹正色说道。Switches offFACETIME, Yang Guobreathed a sigh of relief, in the car(riage) that ridesinrenting, feelsslightlyrelieved.
关掉FACETIME,杨果舒了一口气,坐在租来的车里,稍微感到一点安心。Today can theygoto seeto raise? Martell, Qiqidefinitelycannotwith, butYang Guosomewhatis in suspensejustgreatlygot sickbeginningQiqi, thismadeseveralvideo phonesto go backall the way.
今天他们要出去见扬?马特尔,琪琪肯定是不能跟着的,而杨果又有些放心不下刚刚大病初愈的琪琪,这一路上都打了好几个视频电话回去。Thistimeisto let the eyeglassesyounger sisterremainsin the hotellooks afterQiqi, butYang Guoknowsthataccording to the Qiqidisposition, cannot see itself, certainlymustmake a tearful sceneto keep, thereforeearlyinternally, herecorded a threehours of video, broadcastusing the large-screen television of hotel, thiswill give a Qiqifalse appearancefatheralsoin the side.
这次是让眼镜妹留守在酒店里照看琪琪,但是杨果知道,依琪琪的性格,看不见自己,肯定要哭闹不停,所以早在国内,他就录好了一段三个多小时的视频,利用酒店的大屏幕电视播放出来,这样就会给琪琪一个假象爸爸还在身边。Hedoes not know that thismeansare effective, becauseprevioustimewithissix monthsmatter, nowQiqihas grown upmuch, is more intelligent, candeceive, is still an unknown.
他也不知道这个办法有没有效,因为上一次用已经是半年前的事了,现在琪琪已经长大了不少,也更加聪明,能不能糊弄过去,依然是个未知数。However, at presentaccording to the report of eyeglassesyounger sister, Qiqivery mucheatsthismove, canplay withowntoypeacefully, explained that heris happy, in the morningcompelsherto drink the bitter and astringenttraditional Chinese medicinein her mindnot to cast the shadow.
不过,目前根据眼镜妹的汇报来看,琪琪还是很吃这一招的,能够安静地玩自己的玩具,说明她心情还不错,就连早上逼她喝苦涩的中药都没有在她的心中留下阴影。Raises? Martellgives the speechin a Queensmiddle schoolin the morning, in the afternooncompliesto extract for twohoursto meetwiththem, when the foreigneralwaysguardsregards asis ordinarywith the life, thereforeYang Guotheycannotbe late.
扬?马特尔上午是在皇后区一个中学做演讲,下午答应抽出两个小时跟他们见一个面,外国人一向把守时看成跟生命一般重要,所以杨果他们不能迟到。Ahead of timea halfhour, Yang Guotheyarrived inthatschool, the meetingplaceis a smalloffice that the schoolborrows, after having been permitted, Yang GuofollowedZheng Yujie, Yang Guowalksinbehind, in the handis clamping a briefcase, but also the helpcloses, appearance of solemndeputysecretary. Actually before thisis onlyYang Guo, works the custom that in the foreign trade company the timekeeps.
提前半个小时,杨果他们就已经抵达了那个学校,见面的地点是学校借的一个小办公室,得到允许之后,杨果跟郑雨洁走了进去,杨果走在后面,手中夹着一个公文包,还帮忙关上门,俨然一副秘书的模样。其实这只是杨果以前在外贸公司工作时候留下来的习惯。Raises? Martellistypicalwestern a middle-aged person of bookwormappearance, the stature and cheeks is very thin, the eyeis very narrow and small, tofeeling that the personsomegets downhollowly, the bodywore the long sleeveto set upright the markpale blueshirt, the sleevesubvolume, Yang Guonoticed that thisdetail, breathed a sigh of reliefsecretly: „Guessesright, thisraising? Martellis the person who is more thanempty talkpractical!”
扬?马特尔是一个典型的西方书呆子模样的中年人,身材和脸颊都很消瘦,眼睛很狭小,给人一些凹陷下去的感觉,身上穿着长袖竖纹淡蓝色衬衫,袖子卷了起来,杨果留意到这一个细节,暗暗地舒了一口气:“猜得没错,这个扬?马特尔是一个实干多于空谈的人!”„Hello!”Raises? Martellhas not been coquettish, butstandsnaturallyfrom the table, theyshook handwithYang Guo.
“你们好!”扬?马特尔并没有故作姿态,而是大大方方地从桌子后面站起来,跟杨果他们握了握手。Raises? Martellis the FrenchGhanagreat nationperson, because the fatheris a diplomat, the childhoodtimelives abroadexternally, thereforehisEnglish, the voiceis very strange, Yang Guothought that notlikehehas listened to the GhanabigEnglishvoice.
扬?马特尔是法裔加纳大国人,但是因为父亲是一位外交官,幼年时期在国外旅居,所以他的英文,口音很古怪,杨果觉得并不像他听过的加纳大的英文口音。Mainlynegotiated the personis notYang Guo, butwasZheng Yujie. Thisis notZheng Yujiemust the quarrelling out of jealousyhead, butisshemustwithraising? Martellintroduced that the strength of easternletterpublishing house, canraise? Martelldisplaysto choosetheiradvantageandreasons.
主要谈判人并不是杨果,而是郑雨洁。这并不是郑雨洁要争风头,而是她要跟扬?马特尔去介绍东信出版社的实力,要给扬?马特尔罗列出选择他们的好处和理由。
The Zheng YujieEnglishspoken language, after allhas studied abroadin the US for fouryears, the word usagepossiblyslightlyhas the slight defect, butsaidsmoothly, the voicemakes the personhear is very comfortable, does not havestrangely the Chinglishcavity.郑雨洁的英语口语还是可以的,毕竟是在米国留学过四年,用词可能略有瑕疵,但是说得流畅,语音让人听得也很舒服,没有奇怪地中式英语腔。Zheng Yujie said that does Yang Guoobservethisto raiseinside? Martell'sexpression, hedetected, just likehesaidgeneral of expectation, Zheng Yujie said that cannot rise together simultaneously the toomajorfunction.郑雨洁说的时候,杨果就在旁边观察这扬?马特尔的表情,他发觉,正如他说料想的一般,郑雨洁所说的,并起不到太大的作用。Really, the patiencelistened toZheng Yujie saying that raised? Martellshook the head, said: „The easternletterpublishing housetrulyhas very highstatus and marketshareinChina, ChineseYilinPublishing house that butas far as I know, Ichosebeforeis not badin the strength of publicationforeign languagebooks, theydo not have the meansto makemybooksellverywell, Ihave no reasonto believe that youcandowell.”
果然,耐心听完郑雨洁所说的,扬?马特尔摇了摇头,说道:“东信出版社在中华确实有着很高的地位和市场占有份额,但是据我所知,我以前选择的中华译林出版社在出版外文图书的实力上也不差,他们没有办法让我的书卖得很好,我没有理由去相信你们能够做得更好。”Zheng Yujiethought that she can also indiligently, sheanalyzes the difference of easternletterpublishing houseandYilinPublishing housefrommanyangles.郑雨洁觉得她还能在努力一把,她从多个角度分析东信出版社和译林出版社的不同。Butraises? Martellwaved, said: „Thesewere needless saying that gavemymaterialme to lookbeforeyouto understand, butthisbeing insufficientmademegiveyoumybook. If no a betterreason, Ithink that ourtoday'smeetingalso arrived here.”
可是扬?马特尔挥了挥手,说道:“这些都不用说了,从你们以前给我的资料我都能够看明白,但这不足以让我将我的书交给你们。如果没有更好的理由,我想我们今天的见面也就到这里了。”Zheng Yujieturned the headto look atYang Guo, Yang Guoknowsthatthiswent on stage!郑雨洁转头看了看杨果,杨果知道,该自己上场了!„Raises? Mr.Martell, makesyourbookinChinaobscurewithit, whydoesn't change a publishing houseto attempt?”Yang Guostands, withbeing just aboutto set outto leaveraising that? Martellsaidloudly.
“扬?马特尔先生,与其让你的书一直在中华大地默默无闻,为什么不换一家出版社尝试一下?”杨果站起来,跟正要起身离开的扬?马特尔大声说道。Raises? Martellhesitant, anchored the personal appearance, the doubtslooks atYang Guo, said: „Are you? Excuse me, Ishouldnot remember incorrectly, justthisMissZhenghad not introducedyou.”
扬?马特尔犹豫了一下,停住了身形,疑惑地看着杨果,说道:“请问你是?不好意思,我应该没有记错,刚刚这位郑小姐并没有介绍过你。”„Yang Guo, you can also callmyEnglishLeon, ifyougiveus the publishing house the book, then, Iwill be the translation of thisbook.”Yang Guoself-confidentlywithraising? Martellsaid.
“杨果,你也可以叫我的英文名莱昂,如果你将书交给我们出版社,那么,我将会是这本书的翻译。”杨果自信地跟扬?马特尔说道。„Leonmister, youlooks likesomewhatyoung!”Raises? Martellsaidthese wordstime, the expression on facewas notcontemptuous, butdisplays an interestthickappearance.
“莱昂先生,你看起来有些年轻啊!”扬?马特尔说出这句话的时候,脸上的表情并不是轻蔑,而是表现出一副兴致正浓的样子。„Young, did not deny a factor of personstrength. Not?” The Yang Guosmile said that „, just likeinyourbook, youthPIis young, canstrugglewith the tigerinPacific Ocean, Ithink, youinmind, approvesthisviewpoint.”
“年轻,并不是否定一个人实力的因素。不是吗?”杨果微笑地说道,“正如你的书中,少年PI年纪轻轻,就能够在太平洋上与老虎斗争,我想,你在心目中,也是认可这个观点的。”„Oh! Good that yousaid.”Raises? Martellsmilessaidthat„thatI can you an opportunity, youconvinceme.”
“噢!你说的不错。”扬?马特尔微笑地说道,“那我可以给你一个机会,你来说服我。”Hasspeechopportunitythatto have the successfulhope! Yang Guowalksto go forward, placesto raisebriefcase? OnMartell'sfronttable, satinhisopposite, said with a smile: „Actually, Idid not haveto introducemecompletely, Iam a literary translation, naturally, justentered the line, whyas forwill havesitsself-confidentlyinyourfront?”
有说话的机会那就有成功的希望!杨果走上前,将公文包放在扬?马特尔面前的桌子上,坐在了他的对面,笑道:“其实,我还没有完整地介绍完我自己,我是一名文学翻译,当然,才刚刚入行,至于为什么会有自信坐在你的面前?”Yang Guo, thensaid: „Thatisbecause, atthe end of last yearIas the maintranslator, has translated«JobsBiography»thisbook, butthisbook, became the yearsold the bestbestsellerexactlylast year, itssales result, has usedmerely for twomonths, has surmounted other foreign languagebooks of introduction.”杨果顿了顿,接着说道:“那是因为,在去年年底我作为主要翻译者,翻译了《乔布斯传记》这本书,而这本书,也恰好成为了去年年度卖得最好的畅销书,它的销售业绩,仅仅是用了两个多月,就已经超越了其他引进的外文书籍。”Yang Guosaidverystraightforwardly, ifinternally, possiblysomepeoplepounded on the table saying that Yang Guowas extremely extremely arrogant! Howeverthisis the communicationcustom of westerner, theydo not likeothersspeakingto cover up, circlemanycurved.杨果说得很直白,要是在国内,可能就有人拍着桌子说杨果太过狂妄了!但是这正是西方人的沟通习惯,他们不喜欢别人说话遮遮掩掩,绕很多的弯。Especiallyregardingpays great attention toraising of practicalactual effect? Martell, suchtalkwaycanmakehimfeelcomfortable.
特别是对于更注重实干实效的扬?马特尔而言,这样的谈话方式更能让他感到舒服。
