„Leonmister, Icongratulatesyou to translate a best-sellingbook. However, in my opinion, «JobsBiography»thisbookcansellsoirritable, many should meritcalculateon the body of Mr.Jobs?”Raises? Martellshakes the headto say.
“莱昂先生,我祝贺你能够翻译出一本如此畅销的书。不过,在我看来,《乔布斯传记》这本书能够卖的如此火爆,更多功劳应该计算在乔布斯先生的身上吧?”扬?马特尔摇头说道。Thoughtsaidwas a little overweight, he an apologywas saying: „Pleaseforgivemeto saylike this, becauseIalsoworshipMr.Jobs, the product of Applewas houndedin the world, the biography of Mr.JobsIthink where will not misstogoes.”
觉得说的有点过重了,他略带着点歉意地说道:“请原谅我这样说,因为我自己也是非常崇拜乔布斯先生,苹果公司的产品在全球都被人追捧,乔布斯先生的传记我想不会差到哪里去。”Yang Guoshrugs, said: „Iunderstandyourmeaning, butIwantto tellyouam, at that time before the new bookissued, because the readersknow that ismyagesuchyoungyoung peopletranslation, ourselling in advancequantitiesreceived very tremendousinfluence.”杨果耸了耸肩,说道:“我明白你的意思,但我想告诉你的是,当时新书发布之前,读者们因为知道是我一个年纪如此之轻的年轻人翻译的,我们的预售量收到了很大的影响。”Yang Guohas pulled out a paperfrom the briefcase, advancedraising? Martell'sfront, said: „But, after theyread the book that Ihave translated, becameis gladto recommendtofriendvery much, thereforeafter the issue, oursales volumeshad the blowoutgeneralgrowthonce more, thiswasoursalesreportedthatyoucanrefer.”杨果从公文包里面掏出了一张纸,推到了扬?马特尔的面前,说道:“但是,他们读了我翻译的书之后,变得很乐意向身边的朋友推荐,所以在发布之后,我们的销量再次有了井喷一般的增长,这个是我们的销售报告,你可以参考一下。”Raises? Martelltakes up the salesreport of «JobsBiography»looked, placeson hand, said: „Good, althoughdoes not have the meansto confirmwords that temporarilyyouspoke, butwebelievefor the time being, «JobsBiography» that youtranslatetrulyobtained the approval of reader, butyoushouldknowthatmybookwith«JobsBiography»is not the similartypeliterary work.”
扬?马特尔拿起《乔布斯传记》的销售报告看了一看,放在手边,说道:“好吧,虽然暂时没有办法证实你所说的话,但是我们姑且认为,你翻译的《乔布斯传记》确实得到了读者的认可,可是你应该知道,我的书跟《乔布斯传记》并不是同样类型的文学作品。”Hesaidright, «JobsBiography»can be said as the real-life literature, withhisnovel«YouthPISingularly variedDrift»istwoconcepts, thereforehethensaid: „Idid not thinkthatyouin the success that on«JobsBiography»harvests, cantransplanttomybookcomes up.”
他说的没错,《乔布斯传记》可以说是纪实文学,跟他的小说《少年PI的奇幻漂流》是两个概念,所以他接着说道:“我并不觉得,你在《乔布斯传记》上收获的成功,能够移植到我的书上来。”Looksto raise? Appearance that someMartelloilsaltsdo not enter, Zheng YujiesomeareYang Guoworried.
看着扬?马特尔有些油盐不进的样子,郑雨洁有些为杨果捏了一把汗。HoweverYang Guodoes not dread, hesmileswas saying: „This is also Iwantsto tellyou, I not only can be ableto obtainsuccessfullyin the real-life literature, but alsoonnovel, cantranslate the sellingperson to let the translated work that the readerlikes.”
但是杨果并不畏惧,他微笑着说道:“这也正是我想告诉你的,我不仅能够在纪实文学上能够获得成功,而且在小说上面,也能翻译出让人能够让读者喜欢的译作。”Raises? Martellinterestingasked: „, Right? Why did yousay?”
扬?马特尔饶有兴趣地问道:“哦,是吗?你凭什么这么说?”„Depends onmyunderstandingtoyourwork.”Yang Guosaidself-confidently.
“就凭我对你的作品的理解。”杨果自信地说道。
Does Yang Guostartwithraising? Martelldiscussed that inhisworkvariousdetails, do raise? Martellearnestlylistens attentivelyfrom the beginning, buttobehind, himstartedto invest, evenalsoheatedlyarguedwithYang Guo, spoke ofbehind, the excitement of hiswhole face, withrunning into the intimate friendwas ordinary.杨果开始跟扬?马特尔讨论起他作品中各种细节,扬?马特尔一开始还是认真地倾听,而到了后面,他开始投入进来,甚至还跟杨果面红耳赤地争辩,说到后面,他满脸的兴奋,就跟遇到了知音一般。„Ha Ha!”Raises? Martellhas laughedfrank, hesaidthat„Ihave conductedthese manyspeeches and bamboo slipssell the meeting, has not metto look likeyousuchto understandmyreader, yousaidright, you are truly profoundtomyworkunderstanding, thisImustthankyou, I must shake handwithyouagain!”
“哈哈!”扬?马特尔爽朗地大笑了起来,他说道,“我举办了这么多场演讲和签售会,都没有遇到有像你这么懂我的读者,你说的没错,你确实对我的作品理解很深刻,这个我要感谢你,我还要跟你再握握手!”Yang Guois smiling, pulls out the right handto gripto raise? The right hand that Martellextends, Zheng Yujieseesthisscene, breathed a sigh of relief, thinksto raise? Martellrelentedfinally.杨果微笑着,掏出右手握住扬?马特尔伸出来的右手,郑雨洁看到这个场景,舒了一口气,以为扬?马特尔终于松口了。Buthedoes not have, perhapswas publishedShekengto fearbyYilin, hetodaybecomesespeciallytenaciousanddiscrete, after sitting, raises? Martellshook the head, said: „Iknow why yousuchcraveintaking overmybook, Iguessthatyoureceived certainlysomemessages, said that mybookby the movie that ChinesedirectorLiAnphotographs.”
可是他没有,或许是被译林出版社坑怕了,他今天变得格外固执和谨慎,坐下来之后,扬?马特尔还是摇了摇头,说道:“我知道你们为什么这么热衷于接手我的书,我猜,你们一定是收到了一些消息,说我的这本书正在被华裔导演李岸拍摄的电影。”„Is ordinarywith«JobsBiography», youwantwhilescreening of movie, to hypeonce moresellmybook. Isaiddoesn't have the mistake?”Raises? Martellsaid.
“就跟《乔布斯传记》一般,你们想趁着电影的上映,再次炒作销售我的书。我说的没有错吧?”扬?马特尔说道。Hehas blockedYang Guo that is just aboutto speak, said with a smile: „Leonmister, Iknowsyoutolobbyme, worked hard. YourEnglishsaidverywell, compared withmefortunately, moreoveryou are truly deeptomybookunderstanding, butIdo not knowthatyoutranslatedChineseit, whether can also be so appealingwithitsEnglish edition, because the culturalcharacteristics of ChineseandEnglish were different, in the pastYilinPublishing housewaslike thisexplainstome.”
他拦住了正要讲话的杨果,笑道:“莱昂先生,我知道你为了游说我,下了很大功夫。你的英文说得非常好,比我还好,而且你确实对我的书了解很深,但是我并不知道,你将它翻译成了中文,是否还能跟它的英文版那样吸引人,因为中文和英文的文化特色是不一样的,当年译林出版社就是这样跟我解释的。”„That, isI, ifgives you book, I must take a timerisk, ifIleaveYilinPublishing house the book, is relying onDirectorLiAndabecoming famousinyourcountry, Ithinkmybook can also sellis very good.”Raises? Martellnot mincesaidthatsaidZheng Yujiecomplexiongonorrheared, what to dodid not know.
“那么,也就是我如果把书交给你,我还要承担一次风险,而如果我把书留给译林出版社,凭借着李岸大导演在你们国家的出名度,我想我的书也能重新卖的很好。”扬?马特尔毫不掩饰地说道,说得郑雨洁脸色一片白一片红,都不知道怎么办了。„Raises? Mr.Martell, youthinksothersbecause of a movie, butbuysyourbook? Youthink that otherssawinbook the awfulwriting, thenpraisesLiAnto railyouloudly? Youthink that yourbookhotthistime, latercontinuesto get downobscure?”Yang Guonot, becauseraises? Martell'swordsflinch, herestrains the smiling face, askedhimseriously.
“扬?马特尔先生,难道,你想别人就是因为一部电影而去买你的书吗?难道你想别人看到了书里面糟糕的文字,然后大声赞扬李岸而谩骂你吗?难道你想你的书火了这一次,以后继续默默无闻下去吗?”杨果并没有因为扬?马特尔的话而退缩,他收敛起笑容,严肃地问起了他。Raises? Martellwas shocked, hestarts to speak but hesitates, looks atYang Guosilently.
扬?马特尔愣住了,他欲言又止,默默地看着杨果。„Iknow that youare worriedto takerisk, butIwantto tellyou, the secondtranslatoris less suitable than to translateyourbookme! Butmytranslation, canmakeyourbookregaintrulyin the Chinesemainlandnewborn!”Yang Guoputs outoneslightlyto foldfrom the briefcasehas20pages of A4papersprobably.
“我知道你担心承担风险,但我想告诉你,没有第二个翻译比我更适合翻译你的书了!而我的翻译,是真正能够让你的书在中华大陆重新获得新生!”杨果从公文包里拿出一小叠大概有20来页的A4纸。„What is this?”Raises? Martellhas doubtsasks.
“这是什么?”扬?马特尔疑惑地问道。„Thisismysomedraft translations.”Yang Guosmiled, saidthat„Iyournovel, have translated the frontpart, thenyoucantakeitto look to understand the personhelp of Chineseto appreciate, have a lookwhetheris worthhimbuying.”
“这是我的部分译稿。”杨果笑了笑,说道,“我将你的小说,翻译了前面一部分,然后你可以拿着它去找看得懂中文的人帮忙鉴赏,看看是否值得他掏钱购买。”„Raises? Mr.Martell, youcanlook for the specializedsurvey firmto helpyoudothisinvestigation.” The Zheng Yujiesuddendigressionsaidthat„for example, youcanmakethemhelpyouask100 the foreign students in Chinato readthisdraft translationrandomly, has a look atthemregarding the manner of thisdraft translation, such, youknow that is worthgivingLeonyourbooktranslator, was worthgivingus the publishing houseto operatetoyou!”
“扬?马特尔先生,你可以找专业的调查公司帮你来做这份调查。”郑雨洁突然插话说道,“比如,你可以让他们随机帮你找100名中华的留学生来阅读这份译稿,看看他们对于这份译稿的态度,那样,你就会知道值不值得将你的书交给莱昂翻译,值不值得交给我们出版社给你运作了!”Finally, Zheng Yujiehas also thrown down a heavy case bomb: „Beforeyoudraw the conclusion, please the expense of survey firmcanpaybyus, ifyouare when the time comes unsatisfied, thatthisexpenseyoudo not needto pay the one cent!”These words, Yang Guosurprisedlylooked atheroneeyes.
最后,郑雨洁还丢下了一个重磅炸弹:“在你做出结论之前,请调查公司的费用可以由我们垫付,如果你到时候还是不满意,那这个费用你们不需要支付一分钱!”这句话一出,杨果都惊讶地看了她一眼。Raises? Martellfell intosilent, hisfingerinYang Guoplacesinhisfrontdraft translationto knockgently, every timeknocks, as ifknockedon the heart of Yang GuoandZheng Yujie. Theylook atthisthinmiddle-aged personanxiously, allsignsscattered, can only meet one's fate with resignation!
扬?马特尔陷入了沉默,他的手指头在杨果放在他面前的译稿上轻轻地敲动,每敲动一下,都仿佛敲在了杨果和郑雨洁的心上。他们俩紧张地看着这个瘦削的中年人,所有手牌都已经撒出,只能听天由命了!Sees onlyraises? Martellhas smiledsuddenly, hisbig handhas patted the racketon the Yang Guodraft translationgently, thenattainson the left hand, has stood, hurriedlystandsextends the right handtowardYang GuoandZheng Yujie that said: „Suchcondition, do I have the reason of rejection?”
只见扬?马特尔突然笑了,他的大手在杨果的译稿上面轻轻拍了拍,然后拿到左手上,站了起来,朝着也匆忙站起来的杨果和郑雨洁伸出右手,说道:“这样的条件,我还有拒绝的理由吗?”
