因此他特意向杰夫请了一天的假,逛了大半天时间,买来了这台二手的打字机。对于实现自己的计划这是必不可少的东西。

处理完拉尔夫的后事之后,当时的艾瑞克手里只剩下几百美元的现金。拥有良好福利制度的西方国家,人们向来没有储蓄的习惯,重生后的艾瑞克还庆幸,幸好他居住的这所房子贷款已经还完了,要不然因为无力支付房贷,房子被收回的话,他可能就要露宿街头了。就这样,购买打字机的钱还是艾瑞克向杰夫预支的一个月薪水。Mustrealizeownideal, must first infiltrate the Hollywoodcircle.

Although the peoplealwayssaid that the screenwriterlow status of thistimeHollywood, is in effect it is not so, becausetopgold medalscreenwriterchanged professionsto makeDirectorandProducer, this pointlike a raging firewas different from the oceanopposite shoreHong Kongmovie.
要实现自己的理想,首先就要打入好莱坞的圈子。直接做导演暂时就别想了,当演员也不是一条适合他的道路。想来想去最适合他的还是做编剧。虽然人们总说这个时代好莱坞的编剧地位低下,其实不然,因为顶级的金牌编剧都转行做了导演和制作人,这一点跟大洋对岸正如火如荼的香港电影没什么两样。Loads into the typewriter a manuscript paper, Ericlifts the handto knock the nextline of letterson the keyboard: Jurassic Park. Right, thatmovieseries that in the 90'smostmakes money.
将一张稿纸装进打字机,艾瑞克抬手在键盘上敲下一行字母:侏罗纪公园。没错,正是九十年代最赚钱的那个电影系列。Ericstillrememberedprevious lifeuntil now, fromsellingto piratepeddlerthere of discto wash the «Jurassic Park»small dishpiece, when withonegroup of friendswatch the scene, when the lifelikedinosaurappearsin the TV screen, thatfeeling, can only describewitha few words: Iandmylittle friendswas shocked.艾瑞克至今仍然记得前世,从卖盗版光碟的小贩那里淘来《侏罗纪公园》的碟片,和一群朋友一起观看时的情景,当栩栩如生的恐龙出现在电视机屏幕的时候,那种感觉,只能用一句话来形容:我和我的小伙伴们都惊呆了。In the memory the «Jurassic Park»novelwas in 1990is published, novelonly then100,000characters, thennowMichaelCrichtondefinitelyhas not startedto write. Ericappropriates to oneselfitsatisfiedly, the daywithdoes not take, insteadbyitsfault. As forMichaelCrichton, the wordssaid that suchlife experiencemay be called the singularly variedcharacter, does not have«Jurassic Park»alsohasCretaceousparkanything.
记忆里《侏罗纪公园》的小说是1990年出版的,小说只有100000字,那么现在迈克尔・克莱顿肯定还没有开始写。艾瑞克心安理得地将其据为己有,天与不取,反受其咎啊。至于迈克尔・克莱顿,话说那么一个人生经历堪称奇幻的人物,没有《侏罗纪公园》还有白垩纪公园什么的吧。
The Ericcorners of the mouthturn upwardsslightly, recall pastwhileis typing on the keyboard. Hiswrittenis not«Jurassic Park»script, butis the novel. After previous lifehehas watched the movie, becauseis curious, looks for the Jurassic Parknovelto readearnestly. Now, hasonealsoto calculate that in the schoolresult the memory of goodhigh-school student, translatesEnglishnovelto have more than enough to spare the previous lifeChinese version.艾瑞克嘴角微微翘起,一边回忆往事一边敲打着键盘。他正在写的并不是《侏罗纪公园》的剧本,而是小说。前世他看过电影之后,因为好奇,找来侏罗纪公园的小说认真拜读过。现在,拥有一个在学校成绩还算不错的高中生的记忆,将前世的中文版翻译成英文小说还是绰绰有余的。Reason thatdoes not haveto writedirectlyscript, on the one handwritesscriptto throw intoFilm Studiodirectly, was most greatly possibly regarded the scrap paperto throw into the trash can, script that HollywoodFilm Studioreceivesevery day, basicallycancalculateby the Jin. On the other hand, Ericwantsfirmlyto controlmoviecopyright of thisseriesinown, even ifbecause the presentwrotescript, was known the beadFilm Studioto have a liking forbysomemental perception, andhas made the movie, thengets the maximum benefitfinally can only betheseFilm Studio, butEric, besidestens of thousandsUSDscriptpayment for published piece, mostreceivesextradrawing bonusagain. The matter of thisdoing business at a loss, Ericiswill definitely not do.
之所以没有直接将剧本写出来,一方面是直接写剧本投进电影公司,最大可能是被当成废纸扔进垃圾篓,好莱坞电影公司每天收到的剧本,基本上是可以论斤计算的。另一方面,艾瑞克想将这个系列的电影版权牢牢控制在自己手里,因为即使现在写成剧本,被某个慧眼识珠的电影公司看上,并且拍成了电影,那么最后获得最大利益的只能是那些电影公司,而艾瑞克,除了几万美金的剧本稿酬之外,最多再收到一份额外的分红。这种赔本的事情,艾瑞克是肯定不会干的。Butpublishes the novel, Ericcanfirmlycontrolfilm and televisioncopyrightinownhand, waits for the appropriateopportunityto wait for a better price, maximum benefit that canobtain.
而将小说出版出来,艾瑞克就可以将影视版权牢牢控制在自己手中,以待合适的时机待价而沽,将自己能获得的利益最大化。Immerses the timeinworkalwayscrossesfast, was completely darkuntil the weather, Erichas looked down upon the letter on keyboardtime, discoversunknowingly, oneselfhave writtencontinuously for 45hours, the bellyalsostartedcluck.
沉浸在工作中的时间总是过得飞快,直到天色完全暗了下来,艾瑞克已经看不起键盘上的字母的时候,才发现不知不觉中,自己已经连续写了45个小时,肚子也开始咕咕叫了起来。Stands up, Ericlooks on the deskthickonepack of drafts, stretched oneselfsatisfiedly, according tothisspeed, probablyoneweek of timecancomplete the manuscript, after all, the present stagehe must continuein the dining roomwork of Jeff, otherwisemusthave an empty stomach.
站起身,艾瑞克看着书桌上厚厚一叠稿子,满足地伸了个懒腰,按照这个速度,大概一星期时间就能完成稿件,毕竟,现阶段他还要继续在杰夫的餐厅工作,要不然就要饿肚子了。Entered the kitchen, Ericmakes a simplesupperforoneself, the riceaddedtomatoscrambled eggs, typicalChinese typesimple dish, insurplusbreadcheesepeanut butteras forrefrigeratorand so on, Ericfor serveral daysusuallywaswhen between -meal snackate, althoughheinherited the memory of originalthatfellow, butin the bone the food habit of Orientalwas ingrained.
走进厨房,艾瑞克为自己做了一份简单的晚餐,米饭加一份西红柿炒蛋,典型的中式家常菜,至于冰箱里剩余的面包奶酪花生酱之类的,艾瑞克这些天通常都是当零食吃的,他虽然继承了原来那个家伙的记忆,但骨子里东方人的饮食习惯还是根深蒂固。Has the simpledinner, Erichas arrived in the balconies in twobuildings, relies on the parapetto look at the surroundingnight scene. Theapartment that helives is a less than200square meterssmallcourtyard, twohouses, in the courtyardare plantingsome not well-knownflowers and plantsat will, does not have the hostess, cheapfatherRalph is also a person of not bothering about trifles, therefore the life of father and son is always very rough.

WhyErichas not recordedRalphsuchto do, at that time was too small, butinthesecluesaccording to the presentmemory, Ericcannotmanage the clue, thereforeis also disinclinedto thinkthese.
吃过简单的晚饭,艾瑞克来到二楼的阳台上,倚着栏杆望着周围的夜景。他居住的这套公寓是一个不到200平米的小院子,两层的房屋,院子里随意栽种着一些不知名的花草,没有女主人,便宜父亲拉尔夫也是一个不拘小节的人,因此父子两人的生活一向很粗糙。记忆里大概七八岁左右的时候,父子两个人才从英国伦顿搬到洛杉矶。艾瑞克没有记起来拉尔夫为什么这么做,那时候还太小,而根据现在记忆里那些线索,艾瑞克也没能理出头绪,因此也懒得想这些。
After moving toLos Angeles, RalphtowedsmallEriconlyto strollinLos Angeles for twodays, thenunder the real estatebroker'sintroduction, has boughtthisyard, allappearedact unreasonablyvery much. Ericsmiled, wasin the bone the discretepropertyidea of Orientalcauses trouble.
搬到洛杉矶之后,拉尔夫拖着小艾瑞克在洛杉矶只逛了两天,然后就在房地产经纪的介绍下,买下了这个小院,一切都显得很乱来。艾瑞克笑了笑,又是骨子里东方人的谨慎置业观念作祟了。Stayeda whilein the balcony, was planning that returns to the study roomto continueto write«Jurassic Park», suddenlyhears the pingpongto scratchone, seems anyglassappliancefallsin the sound of ground, Ericgoes to the westernneighborfamily/home the vision, thatisMr. and Mrs.Runkle'sfamily/home, a 40-year-oldcouple, the couplehavethreechildren, the eldest sonhad gone to college, a daughterstudiesin the lodgingmiddle school, the youngestsonis onlyseven years old.
在阳台上呆了一会儿,正打算回书房继续写《侏罗纪公园》,突然听到乒擦一声,似乎是什么玻璃器具摔在地上的声音,艾瑞克将目光投向西边邻居家,那是朗克尔夫妇的家,一对40多岁的夫妇,夫妻俩有三个孩子,大儿子已经上了大学,一个女儿在寄宿中学读书,最小的儿子才七岁。
A couplepossibilityhas come across the mid-life crisis, these daysquarrelledfrequently. AlthoughEricandRunkleFamily the relations are good, butEricdoes not planto mediate a quarrel, thiscouplesare the person who restrainsvery much, record that has not attacked brutally. If one traderunsto mediate a quarrelonlyto be ablerashlyto make the opposite partyawkward.
夫妇两个可能是遇到了中年危机,这段时间经常吵架。虽然艾瑞克家与朗克尔家的关系不错,但艾瑞克并不打算上去劝架,这两口子都算是很克制的人,并没有大打出手的记录。自己要是贸贸然跑去劝架只能使对方尴尬。
After rapidandfuzzyquarrelsandseveralapplianceshattersounds, the door of RunkleFamily, whenonewas shoved open. HusbandCharlieRunklewears a shirt, the hairruns out of the doordisorderly, in runstwostepsto turn the headto face each other womanto shout: „Has sufficed, Iwas sufficed, deserves death, yourthisbitch. In the pasttomarryyoumoved toLos Angeles, Inowpossiblyam the management of general electric company, has a look atyounowanyappearance, Heavens!!”
一阵急促而又模糊的争吵和几件器具破碎的声音之后,朗克尔家的房门哐当一下被推开。男主人查理森・朗克尔穿着件衬衫,头发凌乱地冲出房门,快跑两步转过头对门里的妇女嚷道:“够了,我受够了,该死的,你这个碧池。当年要不是为了娶你搬到洛杉矶,我现在可能已经是通用公司的高管了,看看你现在什么样子,天呐!”„Youdie,”alwaysspokeisin a soft voicesongMadameRunkle, at this time the soundappeared is very resoundingandincisive: „In the pastandyoupursuedinmythreementogether, a presentisCongressmanCalifornia, resold the petroleuminMiddle East, the petroleum did youknow? A profit of shipcan be as good asyou100years of wage! Whatthisregretis the old ladyis right. Now, goes to yourGeneral Motorsto rest, dear‚general electric companymanagement’!”
“你去死吧,”一向说话都是轻声细语的朗克尔夫人,此时声音却显得很高亢和尖锐:“当年和你一起追求我的三个男人里,一个现在已经是加州议员,一个在中东倒卖石油,石油你知道吗?一船的利润抵得上你100年的薪水!该后悔的是老娘才对。现在,去你的通用汽车里睡吧,亲爱的‘通用公司高管’!”MadameRunklesaidthathas thrown a blackcoat, Banghas closed the door.
朗克尔夫人说完,将一件黑色外套扔了出来,砰地一声关上了房门。CharlieRunklepicked up the coatto pat the racket, stood upto gain groundjustattractivelyarrivedEricinbalcony.查理森・朗克尔捡起外套拍了拍,站起身抬头刚好看到站在阳台上的艾瑞克。„Excuse me, disturbedyou, Eric.” The Charliewoodssmiledembarrasedly, saidtoEric.
“不好意思,打扰到你了,艾瑞克。”查理森讪讪地笑了笑,对艾瑞克道。„Has not related, the Charliewoods, want...... Comesmy familyto sit?”Ericsaid.
“没关系,查理森,要不要……来我家坐坐?”艾瑞克说道。
The Charliewoodsshook the head, said: „Does not use, thanks, I...... Iplanned that goes to the barto stroll. Etc....... After a whilecame backMary to calm down.”查理森摇了摇头,道:“不用了,谢谢,我……我打算去酒吧逛逛。等……过一会儿回来玛丽就该消气了。”CharliesaidthatnoddedtoEric, startsowncarto driveto the distant place.查理森说完,冲艾瑞克点了点头,发动自己的汽车向远处驶去。Ericreturns to the room, remembersRunklecouplequarrel the scene, in the mind a thoughtflashes throughpersonallysuddenly, sitsat the desk, loads into the typewriter a manuscript paper, justthatthoughtgraduallybecameclear.艾瑞克回到屋子里,想起朗克尔夫妇两个人争吵的场面,脑海中一个念头突然闪过,坐在书桌旁,将一张稿纸装进打字机,刚刚那个念头渐渐变得清晰起来。Over the two daysErichad been ponderingownfirstscriptshouldwriteanything, nowhehad the answer. Thatscriptcustomizesforhimsimply, um, because the agediffers the quitefarreason, the massivedetailsneedto revise, buttheseare not the issues, scriptselling pointnotinthesedetails.
这两天艾瑞克一直在思考自己的首个剧本该写些什么,现在他已经有了答案。那个剧本简直就是为他量身定做的,嗯,因为年代相差比较远的缘故,大量细节需要修改,不过这些都不是问题,剧本的卖点也不在那些细节上。
