“What do you think?”(你怎么看?)
他把一份文件袋放在桌子上,然后手微微一推滑到了对面的人面前。
“Lost the election? I knew the policy promoted by that idiot was unreliable. ”(大选落败?我就知道那个蠢货宣扬的政策不靠谱。)
他摇了摇头,“It is easy to win the votes of those cute voters who are as stupid as sheep.”(要想获得那些绵羊一样傻的可爱的选民的投票很简单。)
“And this idiot chose to buy the wool of these sheep, and he planned to cut it off and sell it as soon as the wool grew out.”(而这个白痴偏偏选择去薅这些绵羊的羊毛,而且还打算等羊毛一长出来就剪下来卖掉。)
“One thing we all know right now is that it is winter, and you want to cut the wool and sell it to buy yourself a good fur, and you also want a sheep not to die, and you expect them to continue to follow you next year. But will he cover the carpet for the sheep who are on the verge of freezing to death because of the loss of wool? No, he didn 't. that idiot chose to maximize his interests. God knows if that guy really regarded the voters as a big sheep, and after his death, all assets were handed over to the government without an immediate heir. Haha, even primitive people know what the most immediate family here means.”(可是眼前我们都知道一件事,现在是冬天,你既想要把羊毛剪下来卖掉给自己买张好皮毛,还想要绵羊一只不死,而且还指望这些羊明年会继续跟着你。但他会为那些因为失去羊毛而濒临冻死的羊盖棉毯吗?不,他没有,那个蠢货选择把利益最大化。天知道那个家伙是不是真把选民当成大绵羊了,死后在没有直系继。)
他手舞足蹈着犹如一名高超的绘画者。
“It's useless to talk too much.”(多说无用)
他摆了摆手随后又略微摇了摇头,“Don't forget, man, what is the real core competence here?”(别忘了,老兄,这里面真正的核心竞争力是什么。)
“We are businessmen, and you and I know why we support that fool when he knows that his policies are not in the interests of the broad masses of voters.”(我们是商人,你我也知道为什么在知道那个蠢货的政策不符合广大选民的利益的情况我们还支持他。)
“Now let's think about how to please the last two competitors.”(现在还是想想怎么讨好最后的两位竞争者吧。)
他整理了一下身上的西装外套,同时从内兜里拿出了一个铁盒子。
“Of course I know these things, but if he had listened to you and me, wouldn't wordplay be a common tool for us to bury those ends a little bit? In that case, lawyers need to shut up and stand in line.”(我当然知道这些事,但要是当初他听从你和我的意见的话,只要稍微把那些目的掩埋一下,文字游戏难道不是我们常用的手段吗?而那个情况下,律师们也需要乖乖闭嘴过来站队。)
铁盒子里面是雪茄,上等的雪茄,这可是前天刚空运过来的货,是他的一位合作伙伴送给他的——足足有十六箱。因为他在那座岛上的投资,他的那位合作伙伴现在非常感激他,现在正尽全力的向他展现自己的忠诚。
“Word games can be hidden for a while, but not forever. When the policy is implemented, your interests and I can only be maximized in the years when he is in power. Once the term of office is over, you and I will certainly be criticized by those politicians and people for publishing articles written by ghostwriters, but we have no control over public opinion. Don't you understand that for so many years? Moreover, it is also a question whether he will be able to survive his years in office.”(文字游戏瞒得了一时,瞒不了一世,当政策执行下来,我和你的利益只能在他当权的那几年最大化,一旦任职期过去,你和我肯定会被那些政客联合人民发表由代笔作家写下的文章来口诛笔伐我们,唯独社会舆论方面我们没有控制权,这么多年你难道不明白吗?况且,能不能安稳度过他那几年任职期也是个问题。)
刚刚一直说个不停的人闭上了嘴,会意地打开桌子抽屉,从里面拿出一张白纸,然后用桌子上的笔开始写着什么。
接过那张纸,他从盒子里抽出一根雪茄递给了对方。
先给对方点上了火,然后才给自己点上。
那张纸也被他用雪茄点燃了。
“hu……FIB。”(呼……联邦调查局。附:别问我为什么是FIB而不是FBI,自己心领意会。)
许久,他终于说了出来。
………………………分割线……………………………
联邦移民局
“请贵方给出一个合理的解释。”
女人不留情面的说着,桌子上的证件照片文件以及对面的翻译官和移民局工作人员都在沉默着。
工作人员低下头对着翻译官说了几句。
“女士,请稍等,我们这就把事情通知上级。”
翻译官收敛起了脸上的微笑默默的转达道。
