随着“吱”的刹车声,崭新的黑色奥迪90轿车停在了一栋小别墅的外面,瑞恩坐在副驾驶的位置上不停的呲牙咧嘴,在他眼中,妮可的车技真的是烂到了一定的境界,他很怀疑新买的这辆轿车能不能完整的坚持到磨合期结束。„When Nicole, youtake the driving testbribed the examination official?”
“妮可,你参加驾驶考试时是不是贿赂了考官?”„Shut up, Ryan.”Nicolerubbedsnow whitewhite/shelltooth, „, ifyoutalked too muchagain, after visiting, oneselfturned backLos AngelesfromSaintMonica!”
“闭嘴,瑞恩。”妮可磨了磨雪白的贝齿,“如果你再多嘴,等拜访完毕后,就自己从圣莫妮卡走回洛杉矶吧!”Ryanspits the tongue, swallows back the words that nextmusttaunt, unties the seat belt, took the lead the vehicle, toward that althoughwas not big, butseemed like the extremelyrefinedsmallvillato walk.瑞恩吐了吐舌头,将下一句要嘲讽的话咽了回去,解开安全带,率先下了车子,向着那栋虽然不大,但看起来极其雅致的小别墅走了过去。ThisisAugustlastday, heandNicolearrived atseashoresmall townSaintMonicaspecially, after visitsto retireKatieDean, after all, when the welfare home, oldDeanwas the onlysincerityconcernandhad helpedhispersoninitially, afterwardthatlawsuitalsohelpedmanybusy.
这是八月份的最后一天,他和妮可专门来到了海边小城圣莫妮卡,来拜访退休后的凯蒂院长,毕竟,当初在福利院时,老院长是唯一真心关爱和帮助过他的人,后来的那场官司也帮了不少的忙。„AuntKatie, saw that youwere really happy.”
“凯蒂阿姨,见到你真高兴。”Althoughwill communicateoccasionally, buttwoyearshave not seen, oldDeanseemed like was also much old, hairgraymost probably.
尽管偶尔会通信,但两年没见,老院长看起来又老了不少,头发都花白了大半。„Ryan, yougrew, grew up.”KatieDeanis somewhat sigh with emotion, after the nannyhas gotten up the fruit juice and coffee, shelookedtoNicole, „has not thought that in an instanttwoyearson the past, the little fellowquitedid look after? Shouldmakeyouhave a headachewithhistemperamentcharactera lot.”
“瑞恩,你长高了,也长大了。”凯蒂院长有些感慨,在保姆上过果汁和咖啡后,她看向了妮可,“没想到转眼间两年就过去了,小家伙好照顾吗?以他的脾气性格应该没少让你头疼吧。”„MadameKatie, we are togetheris very good, adoptingRyanis the most correctdecision that in my lifemakes.”Nicolerubbed the hair of Ryanwith a smile, „RyanisIin the USonlyfamily member.”
“凯蒂夫人,我们相处的很好,收养瑞恩是我这一生中做出的最正确的决定。”妮可笑着揉了揉瑞恩的头发,“瑞恩是我在美国唯一的亲人。”„Like thisIfelt relieved.”
“这样我就放心了。”OldDeanaskedseveralRyanrecent situations, chatted a meetingafterNicole, the energysomewhatwas obviously bad, RyanandNicolehaveto say goodbye, is onlybeforegoing out, shedrawsNicole saying that „RyanisIhave seenintelligentlyalso the brightestchild, takes care ofhimwell, makinghimbe able the healthy development, ifthere is a difficulty that could not solve, gavemedirectly the telephone, althoughIwas old, butmanyfamily membersandfriends.”
老院长问了几句瑞恩的近况,又与妮可聊了一会后,精力明显有些不济了,瑞恩和妮可只好告辞,只是在出门之前,她拉着妮可说道,“瑞恩是我见过的最聪明也最有才华的孩子,好好照顾他,让他能够健康成长,如果有解决不了的困难,直接给我电话,我虽然老了,但还有不少的亲人和朋友。”Capturedin the SaintMonica'sseashore , after looking a seafood restaurantsolved the lunch, NicolecarriesRyantowardLos Angelesto overtake, in the afternoonhealsohas an appointment, the placein the Wilsonlawyeroffice.
在圣莫妮卡的海边兜了一圈,又找了一间海鲜店解决了午餐之后,妮可载着瑞恩向着洛杉矶市区赶了过去,下午他还有一场约会,地点在威尔逊律师的事务所。Wilsonlawyeris knowninGreater Los Angeles Area, the lawyerofficeonlyenergy that sets upfreelyreluctantlyis the moderate scale, but the businessis good, rentsindependenttwooffice buildingsnear the city hall.威尔逊律师在大洛杉矶地区小有名气,尽管开办的律师事务所只能勉强算是中等规模,但业务还算不错,在市政厅附近租有一栋独立的二层办公楼。Insmallconference room that inseals up, twowhite menare waiting forhim, the middle-aged men of somebald peopleareRyanlawyerMr.Wilson, anotherbigvigorous and healthyseeminglyyoungmanybrownsends the man, is the stock and investment broker who last yearMr.Wilsongavehimto introduce.
在一间封闭的小会议室里,两个白人男子正等着他,有些秃顶的中年男人是瑞恩的律师威尔逊先生,另一个高大健壮看起来年轻不少的棕发男子,则是去年威尔逊先生给他介绍的股票和投资经纪人。„Saw that youwere very happy, Mr.Scott, wethroughmanytimestelephones, I have not thoughtyousowill be high.”In the range estimate of Ryan, thisfelloware least must havesixfeetthreeincheshigh.
“见到你很高兴,斯科特先生,我们通过不少次电话,我从来没有想到你会这么高。”在瑞恩的目测中,这个家伙最少也要有六英尺三英寸高。„Ryan, I also have not thought,youreally are also less thanunexpectedlyten years old.” The expression of Mr.Scottis somewhat exaggerating.
“瑞恩,我同样没想到,你竟然真的还不到十岁。”斯科特先生的表情有些夸张。
The matter that thendiscussedwas relatedwith the investment, asprofessional ethicssplendidlawyer, Mr.Wilsonleft the conference roomon own initiative, but after Nicolehefed in the office building, went to the health club, before the officegot off workcanmeethim.
接下来谈的事情与投资有关,作为一名职业操守出色的律师,威尔逊先生主动离开了会议室,而妮可将他送进办公楼后,就去了健身俱乐部,在事务所下班前才会来接他。„Mr.Scott, Ilistened toUncleWilson saying that youcanreturn toNew Yorkquickly?”
“斯科特先生,我听威尔逊叔叔说你很快就要返回纽约?”„Isthis, Iwill planto return toMerrill Lynchseveral days later, may resign from the presentwork.”
“是这样的,我打算过几天就回美林证券,可能会辞去现在的工作。”„Resigns from the work? Why?”Ryanflexurescratched the head, the heartsaid that thisdid not playme, welcometo a reliableinvestment broker, hemustpile the carrying polewith great difficultyunexpectedly.
“辞去工作?为什么?”瑞恩挠了挠头,心说这不是玩我吗,好不容易才请到一个可靠的投资经纪人,他竟然要摞挑子。Mr.Scotthelplesssmiled, butin the smiling faceactuallyfilledwas warmandhappy, „my wifewas pregnant, DecembertimeImustbe the father, wepreparedto return toMontgomery of Pennsylvania, waited forbirth of child.”
斯科特先生无奈的笑了起来,只是笑容中却充满了温馨和甜蜜,“我的太太怀孕了,十二月的时候我就要做爸爸了,我们准备返回宾夕法尼亚州的蒙哥马利,等待孩子的降生。”„Originallyislike this.”Ryanwhispered, thensaid,„thatcongratulatedyou, Mr.Scott.”
“原来是这样子。”瑞恩嘀咕了一句,接着说道,“那恭喜你了,斯科特先生。”Matteralso is really troublesome, oneselfconvincedNicolewith great difficulty, gives uplike this? The Ryaneyetransferred the revolutions, „the matter that Mr.Scott, actuallyyousaiddoes not contradictwith the matter that helpingmemusthandle, youonlyneedto operate a fundforme, boughtsomestocksto be OK.”
事情还真是麻烦,自己好不容易说服了妮可,难道就这样放弃?瑞恩眼睛转了转,“斯科特先生,其实你说的事情与帮我要做的事情并不相悖,你只需要替我操作一笔资金,购入一些股票就可以了。”„This......”
“这样的话……”FlickersinRyan...... not, persuadedseveral . Moreover the matter that handleswill truly not spend the toomuchtime, Scottnoddedto complyfinally.
在瑞恩又忽悠……啊不,是劝说了几句,而且所做的事情确实不会消耗太多时间,斯科特最终点头应了下来。„Wait, Ryan!”
“等等,瑞恩!”
The boy who Scottbrokesuddenlywas saying the spit that flieshorizontally, since enteringthisroom, thisboydisplayed the precocity and intelligence that madehimexclaim in surprise, hediscovereduntilthis moment,hetrulywas a naivechild.
斯科特突然打断了正说的吐沫横飞的男孩,自从进入这个房间后,这个男孩表现出了令他惊叹的早熟和智慧,直到这一刻他才发现,他确实还是一个天真的孩子。„What's wrong?”Ryanis showing off, is the previous generationthatpitifulknowledge that seesfrom the network, does not understand why Scottinterruptedhiswords.
“怎么了?”瑞恩正在卖弄的,是前世从网络上看到的那点可怜知识,不明白斯科特为什么打断了他的话。„Is Cisco that Ryan, yousaid a network equipment supplier?”Afterobtaining the Ryanaffirmativereply, Scottsmiledsuddenly, „Ciscohas not gone on the market!”
“瑞恩,你说的思科是不是一家网络设备供应商?”在得到瑞恩肯定的回答后,斯科特突然笑了起来,“思科并没有上市!”
The corners of the mouth of Ryandid not vibratevoluntarily, on the facefellcompletely the heavy line, at this momenthereallywantsto run up to the beach of Malibu, digs a sand pitto bury, God! HemadesuchbigBlack Dragon/mishapunexpectedly, if after lettingthesepass through, each oneoxBaicanseegreatly, certainlywill regard the eternitylaughingstockhim.瑞恩的嘴角不自觉的抖动了起来,脸上落满了黑线,这一刻他真想跑到马里布的海滩上,挖个沙坑将自己埋起来,上帝啊!他竟然闹出了这么大一个乌龙,如果让那些穿越后个个牛掰的大能们看到了,一定会把他当成千古笑料。„The stock of Microsoft, almost allinvestorsfavor the momentum that Microsoftrisesnow, wantsto absorb the largeMicrosoftstockfrom the market, is difficult, againis the apple......”
“还有微软的股票,现在几乎所有的投资人都看好微软上升的势头,想要从市场上吸纳大额的微软股票,非常困难,再就是苹果……”Scottanalyzed a finance and investment marketsimply, saidis more thorough, the cold sweat on Ryanforeheadare more, that in the heartcannot stoprejoiced.
斯科特简单分析了一下金融和投资市场,说的越透彻,瑞恩额头上的冷汗就越多,心中止不住的一阵庆幸。Oneselfsomewhatself-knowledge, knowsfortunatelyprevious generationfrom the networkhas watched these knowledge of financial crisisandcurrency waris not necessarily reliable, has not thought that cankill the four directionsbythesegreatly, ifhereallypasses through the expertsto be the same withthese, the headgives off heatshears the woolto cook up the Japanese Yen, it is estimated that the person who jumpsfromGolden Gate Bridge will also be many.
还好自己有几分自知之明,知道前世从网络上看过的那些金融危机和货币战争的知识未必可靠,也从来没有认为凭借这些就能大杀四方,如果他真的和那些穿越牛人们一样,脑袋发热的去剪羊毛炒日元,估计从金门大桥上跳下去的人中又会多了一个。Good! Ido not do the thatbrick of commercialandfinance. Ryanalso can only sigh, makessuchbigmistake, butreallyenoughloses face, luckilyhewas a child, facial skintheseyearsalsopracticed, otherwisewas definitely shameful, luckilyNicolenothere, will otherwise guaranteewill use the guardianjurisdiction, hispursemanagessolid.
好吧!我根本就不是搞商业和金融的那块料。瑞恩也只能叹了口气,搞出这么大的乌龙来,可真够丢脸的,幸亏他还是个孩子,脸皮这些年也练了出来,否则肯定无地自容,幸好妮可不在这里,不然保准会动用监护人权限,将他的钱袋子管的严严实实。„Didn't haveothermeans?”Ryandoes not lose heartaskedone.
“就没有别的办法了吗?”瑞恩不死心的问了一句。„Iwill be staring at the market, absorbs the stock of Microsoftas far as possible. Cisco, Iheardto cross, it might go on the marketnext year, ifyouconfirmed that mustbuy upitsstock, Iwill do everything possible.”AlthoughMr.Scotthas not madeanyguarantee, butin the wordsdemonstratedcertainself-confidence.
“我会盯着市场,尽可能吸纳微软的股票。还有思科,我听人说过,它很可能明年上市,如果你确认要买进它的股票的话,我会尽力而为。”尽管斯科特先生没有做出任何保证,但话中还是显示出了一定的自信心。„Thatthis, has anything ourtelephone communication.”
“那就这样吧,有什么事我们电话联系。”Ryansighed , can only, buymanyto calculatemanylike thisin any case, alwayscompared withkeeping the paper moneyingood that in the handdepreciated, saidagain, thisyearbothreliable and ablestockandinvested the manager is not easyto look, let alonethesesmall companies, werein the biginvestment companies in Wall Street, was not the swindlerwalkseverywhere.瑞恩叹了口气,也只能这样了,反正买到多少算多少,总比留着纸币在手中贬值的好,再说了,这年头既可靠又有能力的股票和投资经理人并不好找,别说那些小公司了,就是华尔街的大投资公司中,还不是骗子遍地走。
If notKatieDeanwith the introduction of Wilsonlawyer, Ryanwill not trusthimabsolutely, eventhis, the necessarysupervisory measuresamewill not be few.
如果不是凯蒂院长和威尔逊律师的介绍,瑞恩也绝对不会信任他,就算是这样,必要的监督措施一样不会少。„Since Ryan, mayPennsylvaniaplayif possible, Ihave a verybigfarm there, canride a horse.”Saying goodbyetime, Mr.Scottsent out the invitationwarmly.
“瑞恩,有机会的话可以来宾夕法尼亚州游玩,我在那里有一个很大的农场,可以骑马哦。”告辞的时候,斯科特先生热情的发出了邀请。„IfIarrive in the east coast, certainlywill visit.”Ryanreturnedwith the brightsmiling face.
“如果我到东海岸的话,一定会去拜访。”瑞恩回以了灿烂的笑容。Saidunrestrained/no trace of politeness,afternoon'smeetingattackedRyanto a certain extent, but alsomadehimlose a bigface, simultaneouslymadehimmore soberclearly recognized itself, understandswhatroadoneselfsuited, YYcertainthingsin the previous generationnetwork, threwbeyond the highest heavensthoroughly.
毫不客气的说,下午的这次会面在一定程度上打击到了瑞恩,还让他丢了次大脸,同时又让他更为清醒的认清了自己,明白自己适合走什么样的路,也把前世网络上YY的某些东西,彻底扔到了九霄云外。Anyplaza agreement, whatJapanese Yencrisis, whatscissorswoolaction, anythingshears the meatfrom the redgreatbear, whatSoutheast Asiafinancial storm, whatsub-prime loan crisis, damn! Ididmymoviecalmly and steadily.
什么广场协议,什么日元危机,什么剪羊毛行动,什么从红色巨熊身上割肉,什么东南亚金融风暴,什么次贷危机,都见鬼去吧!我还是安安稳稳搞自己的电影得了。Goes home, Ryansitsbefore the desk, can only reveal a forced smile, the heart of hisgreedjuststartedto inflate, was brutally puncturedby an awl.
回到家中,瑞恩坐在书桌前,只能露出了一个苦笑,他的贪欲之心刚刚开始膨胀,就被一把锥子无情的戳破了。Actuallybarely escapes death, howhecannot be clearwhatare most outstandingis the talent in artistic, at the presentlivescompared with the previous generationseveral times, but the personwouldby the greedyandimpracticalfantasyblocks from the eye, in some sense, Mr.Scott Swiftisthatclub that the overheadfalls.
其实两世为人,他怎么会不清楚自己最出色的还是艺术方面的天赋,而今生又比前世强了数倍,只是人总会被贪婪和不切实际的幻想遮住眼睛,从某种意义上来说,斯科特?斯威夫特先生就是当头落下来的那根棒子。Whythought that suddenlythisnameis somewhat familiar-sounding? Ryanflexurescratched the head, threwthisthoughtone side, wielded the fountain pen, rustlefallingonmanuscript paper.
只是,为什么忽然觉得这个名字有些耳熟呢?瑞恩挠了挠头,将这个念头扔到了一边,挥动钢笔,沙沙的落在了稿纸上。
The burning hotsummerarrived at the last act, transfers schoolsSchoolmateRyan Jenkins who for the first time fromLondoncomescampus that entered the US, whatNicolechoosesforhimis a private school, the namecallsSt. John Elementary School, do not feel strange,thisis not the churchsystemschool, althoughrebirthonetime, butRyanat mostisagnosticism, ifmakeshimgo to the customsevereCatholic Churchschool, thatmight as wellkills the happiness that hecame.
炎热的夏季走到了尾声,从伦敦转学而来的瑞恩?詹金斯同学第一次走进了美国的校园,妮可为他挑选的是一所私立学校,名字叫圣约翰小学,别奇怪,这不是教会制学校,尽管重生了一次,但瑞恩顶多算是一个不可知论者,如果让他去规矩严苛的天主教学校,那还不如杀了他来的痛快。„Ryan, is togetherwith the schoolmatein the schoolwell, alwaysdo not handlesomebewilderedthings, ifmakesmebe invited the schoolby the principal, Iwill certainly send to the residential schoolyou, Ipledged!”
“瑞恩,在学校跟同学好好相处,不要总是做些莫名其妙的事情,如果让我被校长请来学校的话,我一定会把你送去寄宿学校,我发誓!”Afterfed in the campusRyan, Nicole? MissKidmansaid with certainty that issued the warning, even ifsheknows that thisdoes not havemanyfunctions.
在将瑞恩送进了校园后,妮可?基德曼小姐言之凿凿的发出了警告,即便她知道这没有多少作用。„Forget it, Nicole, was Ithattypedo not know the so-calledchild?”Nicolejust a sayingended, Ryanonconditioned reflexstartrebuttal. „Althoughrelax, so long asthesekids and strangeteachersdo not provokeme, Iwill not lower oneself to the same levelwiththem.”
“得了吧,妮可,我是那种不知所谓的孩子吗?”妮可刚一说完,瑞恩就条件反射般的开始了反驳。“尽管放心,只要那些小屁孩和怪老师不来招惹我,我不会跟他们一般见识。”
