[00:11.01]湯米．湯普森懇求警察發(fā)點(diǎn)兒慈悲。 [00:14.13]He knew that the cop's first impulse [00:16.61]他知道警察的第一沖動 [00:19.10]was to accept the easiest answer to a crime, [00:21.32]是接受對案情的最容易的解釋， [00:23.54]but to imply that Tommy was guilty would have been wrong; [00:26.21]但是如果暗示湯米有罪那就錯了， [00:28.89]Tommy didn't do it. [00:30.51]因?yàn)椴皇菧赘傻摹? [00:32.13]He had to come up with an impressive argument [00:34.76]他得想出一些給人深刻印象的說辭 [00:37.38]to put the implication off himself. [00:39.56]擺脫干系。 [00:41.74]He had to improvise an alibi. [00:43.62]他只好臨時瞎編一個不在犯罪現(xiàn)場的證據(jù)。 [00:45.51]"I was over at my sister's home last night, really!" [00:48.89]"我昨晚去了我妹妹家里，真的!" [00:52.27]The cop gave Tommy an impatient look but kept listening. [00:55.30]警察不耐煩地看了湯米一眼，但還是洗耳恭聽， [00:58.33]"And I,and I," [01:00.16]我，我， [01:01.99]and I went over to the bar for an impromptu meeting with my friends. [01:04.65]我去了酒吧，臨時碰到了幾個朋友。 [01:07.32]And,and, [01:09.13]后，后， [01:10.95]then we inaugurated a new tradition of drinking three shots of whisky [01:13.97]后來我們開始玩一個新花樣：喝三小杯威士忌。 [01:16.98]while standing on our heads. [01:18.86]倒立著. [01:20.74]And,and that was why I was so drunk [01:23.27]因，因，因此我喝得爛醉， [01:25.79]that I could not have possibly have done it,officer!" [01:28.01]所以不可能是我干的，警官!" [01:30.23]The imposing cop looked down at Tommy and had the impression that, [01:33.96]威嚴(yán)的警察低頭看著湯米，他的感覺是 [01:37.70]while this alibi may be a lie,Tommy really was innocent. [01:40.68]雖然這個證據(jù)可能是謊言，但湯米確實(shí)是清白的。 [01:43.65]"What an inauthentic piece of nonsense!" He said," [01:47.08]你可真會講假話!"警察說， [01:50.50]knowing it was still imperative that he lock someone up to calm the public down [01:53.97]他知道仍有必要扣押一個人以平息公眾的情緒。 [01:57.45]"I have the impetus to take you down town" [02:00.32]我有一種推動力，要把你帶到市中心去， [02:03.19]and impose some pain on you until you tell me the truth."

[02:09.72]湯米開始哆嗦起來。 [02:11.50]Inbreeding among policemen must really be true; [02:14.43]警察之間近親結(jié)婚的傳言一定是真的， [02:17.35]this cop was more stupid than a cow! [02:19.53]因?yàn)檫@位警察比奶牛更蠢! [02:21.71]"But if you get out of here,go back to your impoverished home" [02:25.44]但是如果你離開這里，滾回你那個窮家， [02:29.16]and not impede my investigation any further. [02:31.48]別再妨礙我辦案， [02:33.81]I'll forget I ever met you!" [02:36.08]我就當(dāng)我沒見過你!" [02:38.35]Tommy understood theimplicit opportunity to leave [02:41.03]湯米明白這是不言明的離開機(jī)會， [02:43.71]and implemented his immediate departure. [02:45.89]他立刻執(zhí)行了離開的命令。 [02:48.07]"I guess cops aren't so dumb after all." [02:50.80]"我想警察還是沒有那么笨。" [02:53.53]He thought as he left the street and headed home. [02:56.01]他一邊想一邊離開大街往家中走去。 [02:58.49]incentive-indignant The incumbent's indigestion [03:03.63]現(xiàn)任主席的消化不良 [03:08.76]"I would like to incorporate this newest index" [03:11.65]我想把這個最新指數(shù) [03:14.53]into all of our dealings with the indigenes. [03:16.72]并到所有與土著的交易中， [03:18.90]This will give them an incentive [03:20.87]這將給他們一種刺激， [03:22.84]not to incite any incongruous behavior against us." [03:25.62]不讓他們煽動任何對我們不合適的行為。 [03:28.40]"Said the incumbent president of the community developm-ent organization. [03:31.49]社區(qū)發(fā)展組織現(xiàn)任主席說。 [03:34.57]"But that would mean the loss of their rights in one large increment!" [03:37.50]"但這將意味著他們將在一次大的增值中喪失他們的權(quán)利， [03:40.42]"Said the president-elect. [03:42.09]當(dāng)選主席說道。 [03:43.76]"I don't think we should be so incessant about our need to control this project. [03:46.89]我認(rèn)為我們沒有必要這樣持續(xù)不斷地控制這個項目。 [03:50.01]The data you are looking at [03:51.99]你看到的數(shù)據(jù) [03:53.98]is indefinite about why the project is stalled. [03:56.50]并不能清楚地說明為什么要推遲這個項目。 [03:59.02]This is a project that the indigenous people want and hope for. [04:02.00]這是土著們想要并希望得到的一個項目。 [04:04.98]If we show any inclination to take over, [04:07.61]假如我們表明有意把這個項目接過來， [04:10.25]they will begin to ask for an indemnity And we can't afford that. [04:13.13]他們就會要補(bǔ)償金，這可是我們負(fù)擔(dān)不起的。 [04:16.00]All indicators show [04:17.83]所有指標(biāo)表明 [04:19.66]that we should continue to work together with them as a team. [04:22.14]"我們應(yīng)該繼續(xù)與他們團(tuán)結(jié)合作。" [04:24.62]"This is incredible," [04:26.64]真是不可思議， [04:28.67]that you are already trying to take over when I am still in charge." [04:31.45]我還沒下臺你就已經(jīng)談接管了。" [04:34.23]The incumbent said,overreacting. [04:36.41]現(xiàn)任主席說，他的反應(yīng)有些過火， [04:38.60]"If you would please just sit down," [04:40.32]假如你能坐下來， [04:42.04]I will forget this incident of your incursion on how I run things. [04:44.87]"我會忘記你剛才侵犯我的管理權(quán)這一件事。" [04:47.69]"I thought the decision making process" [04:50.47]我認(rèn)為決策過程 [04:53.25]was supposed to be inclusive of every participant." The president-elect said [04:56.58]應(yīng)該包括每位參與者。"當(dāng)選主席說。 [04:59.91]He could tell this was incurring the wrath of the incum-bent, [05:02.73]他能看出自己的發(fā)言正惹怒現(xiàn)任主席， [05:05.55]but he didn't care. [05:07.23]但他并不在乎。 [05:08.90]This issue was too important. [05:10.71]這個問題太重要了。 [05:12.53]That was when the incumbent stood up, [05:14.85]就在這時，現(xiàn)任主席站了起來， [05:17.18]ready to become indignant at the accusation. [05:19.40]準(zhǔn)備對當(dāng)選主席的指責(zé)表示憤慨。 [05:21.62]Suddenly he bowed over,however,and was rushed from the room. [05:24.74]可是突然間，他撲倒在地，被人急速送出了會議室。 [05:27.86]They were all sure that he had a heart attack, [05:30.19]與會者都肯定他犯了心臟病， [05:32.51]but his aide came back and said it was only indigestion. [05:35.03]但他的助手回來說，他不過是有點(diǎn)兒消化不良。 [05:37.55]They would have to continue their meeting tomorrow. [05:39.83]他們明天還得繼續(xù)開會。 [05:42.10]The president-elect frowned; his plane left tonight. [05:44.53]當(dāng)選主席皺起了眉頭，他的飛機(jī)今晚就離開了。 [05:46.96]indiscriminate-inflict Inferior Cal [05:52.14]低人一等的卡爾 [05:57.33]He was inert for the moment, [06:00.06]卡爾暫時無法動彈， [06:02.79]but Cal knew that he was still wearing the inflammable vest [06:05.61]但他知道他還穿著易燃背心 [06:08.43]filled with an infectious disease. [06:10.51]那件帶傳染病的. [06:12.58]He was one individual who they could not get rid of so easily. [06:16.01]他是個他們無法輕易干掉的人。 [06:19.43]He began to turn over.Ah,it worked. [06:22.76]他開始翻身。啊，這一招起作用了。 [06:26.09]Now he could see the line of policemen watching him again. [06:28.61]現(xiàn)在他可以看到那些警察又在監(jiān)視他。 [06:31.13]Cal saw that a lady was running across the street with an infant, [06:34.36]卡爾看到位女士帶著一名幼兒跑過馬路， [06:37.58]while others were hiding in the buildings. [06:39.87]其他人則躲在大樓里。 [06:42.16]It didn't matter;the infection would get them in the end.It was inevitable.

[06:59.06]而且對傳染對象會一視同仁。 [07:01.64]That was why,for the first time in his life,Cal didn't feel inferior. [07:05.27]因此卡爾生平中第一次不覺得自己比別人差。 [07:08.90]He would show them that he wasn't the most ineffective, [07:11.88]他要向他們展示他并非班上最無能、 [07:14.86]inept student in their class. [07:16.64]笨拙的學(xué)生， [07:18.41]He would inflict pain. [07:20.48]他要讓別人遭受痛苦。 [07:22.54]If he pulled the cord on the vest, [07:24.81]假如他拉一下背心上的細(xì)繩， [07:27.09]inflation would begin and that would be the end,the virus would be released. [07:30.56]背心就會開始膨脹，一切就會完蛋，因?yàn)椴《緦会尫懦鰜怼? [07:34.03]He was suddenly indispensable to the survival of mankind and he felt powerful [07:38.25]他突然成了人類生存所必不可少的人，他覺得自己很了不起。 [07:42.47]The police indulged him with conversation for several minutes, [07:46.25]警察和他進(jìn)行了幾分鐘的對話，讓他高興， [07:50.02]promising inferential treatment [07:52.06]并且承諾就會給他推論性對待 [07:54.10]if he would take off the vest. [07:55.82]只要他脫下那件背心， [07:57.54]They even listened to his individualistic views [08:00.93]他們甚至聽他談世界出了什么問題 [08:04.31]of what was wrong with the world. [08:06.23]關(guān)于個人主義觀點(diǎn)。 [08:08.15]All the while they prayed that their rescue team wouldn't be inefficient [08:11.83]他們同時一直在祈禱：救援隊伍不會無能到 [08:15.52]and mess up the capture of this idiot! [08:17.49]將抓捕這一白癡的事搞砸! [08:19.46]They weren't, and a man in a parachute successfully fell from the sky [08:23.33]他們還真不是酒囊飯袋，一個傘兵成功地從天而降， [08:27.19]to hit Cal on the head. [08:28.97]擊中了卡爾的頭。 [08:30.75]He fell to the ground and the police carefully removed the vest. [08:33.88]卡爾倒在地上，警察小心地脫掉了那件背心。 [08:37.02]No one wanted to accidentally infest the world with a deadly virus! [08:40.54]沒有人希望出現(xiàn)意外，用一種致命的病毒侵?jǐn)_全世界!

[09:03.97]平靜地看著每一位新入學(xué)者。 [09:06.35]He had an innate desire to tell them that they were all fools, [09:09.17]他有一種內(nèi)在的欲望，想告訴所有人他們?nèi)际巧倒希? [09:11.99]but he knew he would instead inject a desire for power and fame in them. [09:15.08]不過他知道自己不會這么做，相反，他會給他們引入一種追求權(quán)力名聲欲望 [09:18.16]He would promise that they would become influential in some sphere of society. [09:21.93]他會許諾他們將成為社會上某個領(lǐng)域有影響的人。 [09:25.71]Their initiation would not be easy,of course, [09:28.35]當(dāng)然，開始的時候不會太容易， [09:30.98]but once in,they would be able to withstand any pressure, [09:33.77]但一旦入了門，就能承受任何壓力、 [09:36.55]any injunction,and any accusation of impropriety. [09:39.58]任何命令以及任何關(guān)于行為不軌的指責(zé)。 [09:42.61]They were the best of the new influx of students, [09:44.95]他們是入學(xué)新生中最好的， [09:47.28]but it had been through the initiative of the organization [09:52.33]that they had been selected. [09:53.95]他們之所以被選拔進(jìn)來是因?yàn)閷W(xué)校有首創(chuàng)精神。 [09:55.57]Every word was a load of crap. [09:58.30]他說的每個字都是一派胡言。 [10:01.03]The Professor knew that each student had a large inheritance [10:04.41]教授知道每位學(xué)生都擁有一大筆遺產(chǎn)。 [10:07.79]that the organization wished to get hold of. [10:10.06]學(xué)校希望得到的 [10:12.34]It was an ingenious way to get a quick infusion of cash [10:15.28]這是快速收入現(xiàn)金的巧妙方法， [10:18.21]and they would gladly give. [10:19.83]而且學(xué)生也樂意掏腰包。 [10:21.45]People were so hungry for power. [10:23.37]人們是那么渴望得到權(quán)力! [10:25.29]And nothing would inhibit these students from getting that power, [10:27.77]什么都無法阻止這些學(xué)生得到這種權(quán)力， [10:30.26]no matter what ingredients were required. [10:32.39]不管得到這種權(quán)力需要具備什么樣的素質(zhì)! [10:34.51]The smartest student-s actually wanted nothing to do with the organization. [10:37.64]最聰明的學(xué)生實(shí)際上不想與這所學(xué)校有任何關(guān)系。 [10:40.76]Some had an initial curiosity, [10:43.19]有些學(xué)生最初有種好奇心， [10:45.62]but they soon saw that the organization would infringe [10:48.25]但他們很快就看出這所學(xué)校將會 [10:50.89]too much on their personal freedom. [10:52.81]過多地侵犯他們的個人自由。 [10:54.73]They saw through the ingenuity of the initiation. [10:57.41]他們看穿了入學(xué)教育那些花言巧語。 [11:00.09]"Whatever!" [11:01.76]"管它呢!" [11:03.43]Thought the Professor as he stopped his inhalation of the Cuban cigar [11:06.57]教授想道，他停止吸古巴雪茄， [11:09.70]to continue with the ceremony. [11:11.53]繼續(xù)進(jìn)行入學(xué)儀式。 [11:13.36]These were the new inhabitants and they would inherit the curses [11:16.34]這些學(xué)生是新住戶，會跟著受一些磨難 [11:19.31]as well as whatever inherent benefits they might get from the organization. [11:22.34]他們不僅會繼承學(xué)校所有固有的好處 [11:25.37]Some might even become influential! [11:27.65]有些學(xué)生甚至可能成為有影響的人! [11:29.92]No one would inhibit them from this--power for one meant power for all! [11:33.20]誰也不會約束他們，因?yàn)橐蝗擞袡?quán)力意味著大家都有權(quán)力! [11:36.48]inner-instantaneous Insolvency [11:41.35]無力償還 [11:46.22]When the inspector told him that his company was insolvent, [11:50.15]檢查員告訴克里斯他的公司無償債能力時， [11:54.08]Chris almost went insane. [11:56.12]他幾乎都要瘋了。 [11:58.16]He threw things, [11:59.88]他扔?xùn)|西， [12:01.61]yelled at his employees and insisted that the inquiry was a farce.

[12:12.29]He just couldn't believe [12:14.51]他就是不信 [12:16.73]that all of his innovations hadn't taken care of his expenses! [12:19.75]他搞了那么多的創(chuàng)新居然會入不敷出! [12:22.77]Because of his inspiration [12:25.13]由于靈感豐富， [12:27.49]he had developed products [12:29.27]他已經(jīng)開發(fā)出了產(chǎn)品 [12:31.05]to protect crops from devastating insect infestation, [12:33.93]保護(hù)莊稼免受毀滅性蟲災(zāi)的 [12:36.82]made communication between computers almost instantaneous [12:39.85]使計算機(jī)之間的交流幾乎瞬間就可以完成， [12:42.88]and cured several forms of cancer! How could he have no money? [12:46.26]還治愈了幾種癌癥!他怎么可能沒錢? [12:49.65]Upon his own further inspection of the situation,however, [12:53.28]可是親自對情況做了深入的檢查之后， [12:56.91]Chris saw innumerable mistakes in the company bookkeeping. [12:59.73]克里斯發(fā)現(xiàn)公司簿記有數(shù)不清的錯誤。 [13:02.55]The man who inspected them had been correct. [13:05.68]檢查人員沒有錯。 [13:08.82]He called in his brother, Jeff,the chief accountant. [13:11.75]他把主任會計師--他的兄弟杰夫叫了進(jìn)來。 [13:14.67]Jeff immediately said that he was innocent. [13:17.15]杰夫立即說自己是清白的。 [13:19.63]But the quick plea of innocence made Chris insecure [13:22.56]但杰夫這么快就為自己的清白辯護(hù)讓克里斯覺得不可靠 [13:25.49]and he heard an inner voice tell him to look at Jeff's private accounts. [13:28.37]他聽到內(nèi)心有個聲音對他說：看看杰夫的私人賬戶。 [13:31.26]He told Jeff everything was okay and that he could relax. [13:34.18]他告訴杰夫沒出任何事情，他可以放松了。 [13:37.11]When Jeff left Chris became inspired. [13:40.14]杰夫走后，克里斯得到了啟發(fā)。 [13:43.17]Without any input from the inspector on where money had gone, [13:46.66]由于檢查員對資金去向沒有提供任何信息， [13:50.15]Chris found that several large installments [13:52.63]他發(fā)現(xiàn)幾筆大的分期付款 [13:55.11]had been misdirected from his company into Jeff' s accounts; [13:57.98]從公司錯誤地轉(zhuǎn)到了杰夫賬上。 [14:00.86]his brother had betrayed him ! [14:03.04]他的兄弟背叛了他! [14:05.22]When Chris called Jeff into his office again, [14:07.54]克里斯把杰夫再次叫到辦公室時， [14:09.87]the insecurity on Jeff's face was obvious. [14:12.40]杰夫臉上明顯露出不安的神色。 [14:14.94]Jeff tried to insert that he was innocent again, [14:18.36]杰夫又想插話說自已是清白的， [14:21.78]but Chris quickly had him arrested. [14:23.96]但克里斯很快讓警察把他抓了起來。 [14:26.14]He always trusted his own insights [14:28.73]他從來都相信自己的洞察力， [14:31.31]and he didn't want anything to do with a brother who had cheated him. [14:34.29]不想再理這個曾經(jīng)欺騙過自己的兄弟。 [14:37.27]Chris luckily retrieved most of the money [14:40.14]克里斯很幸運(yùn)，他收回了大部分錢， [14:43.02]to continue making innovations to help mankind. [14:45.50]可以繼續(xù)搞創(chuàng)新以造福人類。 [14:47.98]Jeff spent 10 years in a low security prison and never saw his brother again.

" [15:13.55]用這種絕緣體提高市場份額，" [15:16.14]The manufacturer said to his board. [15:18.22]制造商對董事會說， [15:20.29]"When we release this product onto the market" [15:22.66]我們向市場投放這種產(chǎn)品時， [15:25.02]it will intensify competition in our favor, [15:27.44]會加劇競爭，這對我們有利， [15:29.85]allowing us to overcome previously insurmountable barriers."

[15:43.06]一位董事問道。 [15:44.64]"Yes." Product research has proven that this new instrument [15:47.37]是的。產(chǎn)品研究已經(jīng)證明，這種新儀器 [15:50.10]will allow us to make computers smaller and thinner than ever before. [15:53.22]能使我們制造出比以前更小、更薄的計算機(jī)， [15:56.34]We will integrate it into every device, [15:58.63]我們要使它與每個設(shè)備相結(jié)合， [16:00.91]and patents will make our company [16:02.74]而且專利會使我們公司成為 [16:04.57]an integral part of every other computer manufacturer [16:07.09]所有其他計算機(jī)制造商不可缺少的組成部分 [16:09.61]that wants to stay in the game.

[16:18.44]"Well,your proposal is very intelligible and no one doubts your integrity." [16:21.97]嗯，你的建議很好理解，沒有人懷疑你的誠實(shí)。 [16:25.50]I have to ask, however, [16:27.23]但是，我得問： [16:28.97]what assurances you can give that your instincts are correct?" [16:31.45]你用什么來保證你的直覺是對的呢?" [16:33.93]Said another board member, [16:35.67]另一位董事說。 [16:37.41]whose insularity was still intact after years of internatio-nal success. [16:40.63]這位董事雖然在國際上取得多年的成功，但他的偏狹自然絲毫未改。 [16:43.86]"Everything is in the report." [16:45.98]一切都寫在報告中。 [16:48.09]We have tested numerous other insulation methods, [16:50.51]我們已經(jīng)測試了許多其他的絕緣方法、 [16:52.92]many devices, and spent years working on this. [16:55.44]許多設(shè)備，做了多年的研究。 [16:57.97]If the data is insufficient [17:00.00]假如資料不夠充分， [17:02.04]then we can give you a demonstration of the device. [17:04.37]我們可以向你演示一下這個設(shè)備。 [17:06.69]I am intent on showing you that this is the product to develop." [17:09.12]我很想讓你了解這個產(chǎn)品值得開發(fā)。" [17:11.55]Replied the manufacturer calmly. [17:13.53]制造商平靜地回答。 [17:15.52]"Yes,please do a demonstration." [17:17.74]好，請做一下演示。 [17:19.96]You are an intelligent man [17:21.58]你是位有才智的人， [17:23.20]with an intense passion for the success of this company. [17:25.68]對本公司的成功有極大的熱情。 [17:28.16]But I'm an old insurance salesman [17:30.23]可我是一位上了年紀(jì)的保險銷售員， [17:32.29]and I just want to know what I'm getting into." [17:34.35]我只想知道我正準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)入的工作是怎么回事。" [17:36.42]Smiled the board member as the computer was wheeled into the room. [17:39.25]計算機(jī)被推進(jìn)屋時那位董事微笑著說。 [17:42.09]interact-introduce An intimate meeting [17:46.85]親密會面 [17:51.62]It was impossible to hold an intimate conversation over the intercom, [17:56.19]由于不可能通過內(nèi)部通話系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行親密交談， [18:00.76]so the boss called his beautiful new accountant into his office. [18:03.85]所以老板把漂亮的新會計叫到了辦公室。 [18:06.93]Before she came in he turned down the interior lights, put on some music, [18:10.81]她進(jìn)辦公室之前，老板調(diào)弱了所有的室內(nèi)光線，放著音樂， [18:14.69]and told his secretary to hold all interruptions. [18:17.12]吩咐秘書不要讓任何人打擾。 [18:19.55]When the accountant came in they had a brief simple verbal interplay. [18:23.78]會計進(jìn)來之后，他們進(jìn)行了簡短的相互問候。 [18:28.01]Then the boss asked her to come closer. [18:30.63]然后老板要她靠近點(diǎn)兒。 [18:33.26]Intrigued by the situation,the accountant stood up, [18:36.70]會計覺得有些好奇，于是站了起來， [18:40.13]straightened her intricate dress [18:42.26]整理了一下她復(fù)雜精致的裙子， [18:44.39]and, after a brief interval where she appeared to have second thoughts, [18:47.56]似乎是思考了一小會兒之后， [18:50.74]moved closer to the boss. [18:52.47]向老板靠近了一點(diǎn)兒。 [18:54.21]She was not used to interacting with him this way, [18:57.24]她不習(xí)慣以這種方式和他交往， [19:00.27]but she understood the intrinsic value of a closer relation-ship with a boss. [19:03.39]但她明白與老板關(guān)系更密切的內(nèi)在價值。 [19:06.51]"Let me introduce you to a friend of mine" [19:09.75]我給你介紹一個我的朋友， [19:12.99]who needs intermittent attention." He said quietly in her ear. [19:15.87]她需要周期性的照顧。"他對著她的耳朵小聲說道。 [19:18.74]Then he reached down,pulled something from the desk, [19:22.27]然后他俯身從桌子里拿出一樣?xùn)|西， [19:25.79]stood up and disappeared behind a hidden door. [19:28.17]站起來，消失在一道暗門后面。 [19:30.55]The accountant's only interpretation [19:33.58]會計對此的惟一解釋 [19:36.61]was that she was about to begin a secret interrelationship. [19:39.28]是她要與老板開始一段秘密的相互關(guān)系了。 [19:41.96]She had some internal misgivings [19:44.39]她內(nèi)心有點(diǎn)兒害怕， [19:46.82]and hoped that someone would intervene, [19:48.70]希望會有人出來干預(yù)一下， [19:50.58]but she remained where she was. [19:52.66]不過她還是站在原地未動。 [19:54.74]When the boss came back out he was holding a small cat. [19:57.98]老板回來時，他抱著一只小貓。 [20:01.21]"This is Fluffy.She has some problems with her intestines" [20:04.85]這是佛拉菲，她的腸道有些問題， [20:08.48]and I need an intermediate to take her to the animal hospital ! [20:11.14]我需要一個中間人送她去動物醫(yī)院! [20:13.81]I've planned a medical intervention this afternoon." [20:16.52]我已經(jīng)安排今天下午給它做手術(shù)。" [20:19.24]Then he whispered to the accountant, [20:21.60]然后他對會計耳語道： [20:23.97]"Don't say surgery or she'll get scared!" [20:26.25]"別說是外科手術(shù)，否則她會嚇壞的!" [20:28.54]Then in a normal voice he continued, [20:31.22]接著他以正常的聲音繼續(xù)說道： [20:33.89]"I called you in because I didn't want to interfere" [20:36.62]我之所以叫你進(jìn)來，是因?yàn)槲也幌氪驍_ [20:39.35]with the work of my other employees. [20:41.27]其他員工的工作。 [20:43.19]I have a very special interdependent relationship with Fluffy [20:46.43]我和佛拉菲有一種非常特別的相互依賴的關(guān)系， [20:49.67]that I am very protective about. [20:51.55]我對這種關(guān)系十分的關(guān)切保護(hù)， [20:53.43]I trust you will help and keep this to yourself !" [20:56.22]我相信你會幫忙并且保密!" [20:59.00]The accountant's mouth dropped! At least it wasn't sex! [21:01.87]會計長舒了一口氣!至少這不是性交易! [21:04.74]intrude-irrespective The invisible pair [21:09.81]隱形夫妻 [21:14.88]When Bill learned how to become invisible [21:18.26]比爾學(xué)會隱形后 [21:21.65]he began to intrude on everyone's business. [21:23.97]便開始侵?jǐn)_別人的生活。 [21:26.30]But he wasn't too inventive [21:28.33]但他太沒有創(chuàng)造力， [21:30.37]and people often felt an irregularity in their rooms, [21:33.01]人們常常能覺察到屋里不對勁兒， [21:35.65]as if they were being watched. [21:37.62]好像有人在監(jiān)視他們。 [21:39.59]Some even stood up to investigate. [21:41.77]有些人甚至?xí)鹕聿榭匆幌隆? [21:43.95]One woman's intuition was so good [21:46.14]有個女人的直覺特好， [21:48.32]that she almost stepped on Bill's toes, [21:50.38]差點(diǎn)兒就踩到了比爾的腳趾頭。 [21:52.44]which would have invalidated [21:54.27]要是真踩上了， [21:56.10]the irresistible attraction of spying for sure. [21:58.53]那就肯定會使偷窺失去那不可抗拒的吸引力。 [22:00.96]Discovery had a way of doing that. [22:02.89]發(fā)現(xiàn)之后就會是那樣， [22:04.83]Bill never invaded her home again. [22:06.85]比爾再也沒敢闖入她家。 [22:08.87]But Bill was lucky and he began to turn his gift into an investment. [22:11.96]但是比爾又是幸運(yùn)的，他開始將自己的天賦變成一種投資。 [22:15.04]He took inventory of the belongings of several rich people, [22:17.91]他查清了幾個富人的財產(chǎn)， [22:20.79]and slowly began to take invaluable items home for himself. [22:23.73]然后慢慢地開始把一些無價之寶拿回家。 [22:26.66]But he never took invoices [22:28.85]因?yàn)楸葼枏牟荒冒l(fā)票回家， [22:31.03]and his wife began to become suspicious [22:33.10]妻子起了疑心， [22:35.18]about the surprising inversion of the quality of items [22:37.91]她奇怪怎么反過來質(zhì)量那么好 [22:40.64]Bill said he had purchased. [22:42.47]比爾說是買來的那些東西 [22:44.30]Irrespective of her very intuitive concerns, however, [22:47.98]但是比爾沒有理會她非常直覺的擔(dān)心， [22:51.66]Bill ignored her completely. [22:53.49]完全沒有把她放在眼里。 [22:55.32]The irony of the situation [22:57.50]具有諷刺意味的是， [22:59.68]was that she was once the invariable one [23:01.86]比爾太太一直是個 [23:04.05]who had always wanted to purchase expensive items. [23:06.47]想買貴重物品的人， [23:08.90]Now she couldn't accept sudden riches in her own home! [23:11.63]而現(xiàn)在她卻對家里突然出現(xiàn)的貴重物品接受不了! [23:14.36]She had to know what was going on. [23:16.35]她得知道到底是怎么回事。 [23:18.33]One day she inverted the tables on Bill, [23:20.61]一天，她將幾張桌子倒置朝著比爾， [23:22.88]hid in a corner and waited for him to come home. [23:25.26]然后藏到一個角落里等比爾回來。 [23:27.63]When Bill came home invisible she caught him. [23:30.45]比爾隱形回到家里，被太太逮了個正著。 [23:33.28]Her concerns became invalid, however, [23:35.69]但是她的擔(dān)心就沒有了 [23:38.11]when she understood the implications of being invisible. [23:40.83]當(dāng)她明白了隱形的含義之后， [23:43.54]She even had an inverse reaction [23:46.12]她的態(tài)度來了個一百八十度的大轉(zhuǎn)彎， [23:48.69]and began to tell Bill what items he should bring home next. [23:51.37]甚至告訴比爾下次該拿什么東西回家。 [23:54.04]And Bill eventually taught her how to become invisible herself. [23:57.32]最后，比爾教會了妻子如何隱形。 [24:00.60]They were quite a pair!An invisible pair,that is. [24:03.38]他倆真是天生的一對!也就是說，他倆是一對隱形夫妻。 [24:06.16]irreversible-junior The junior editor [24:10.79]初級編輯 [24:15.41]One day the journalistic curiosity got the best of the junior editor. [24:19.75]一天，一名初級編輯不禁產(chǎn)生了新聞工作者的好奇心。 [24:24.08]He knew that a certain thief [24:26.30]他知道有個小偷 [24:28.53]was becoming an irritation to people jogging in a nearby park. [24:31.31]正在騷擾在附近公園慢跑的人， [24:34.09]He decided,therefore to isolate himself in a tree [24:37.47]于是他決定藏在一顆樹上 [24:40.85]at an important junction and watch to catch the thief. [24:43.44]在一個重要交叉路口,以便監(jiān)視并抓住那個小偷。 [24:46.03]His joints were just becoming sore when the irreversible event occurred; [24:50.15]等到那件不可挽回的事情發(fā)生的時候他的關(guān)節(jié)卻開始疼了。 [24:54.28]he saw the thief not just take jewelry but murder a woman. [24:56.84]他看到那個小偷不但偷了珠寶，還殺了一個女人。 [24:59.40]This had not been on his itinerary. [25:02.13]這可不在初級編輯的計劃之中。 [25:04.86]But because he had seen the man's face clearly, [25:07.34]但他看清了小偷的臉， [25:09.82]the junior editor was sure that he could put the man in jail. [25:12.61]所以確信能把他送進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。 [25:15.39]Then the junior editor watched as the man threw the woman's body [25:18.88]然后初級編輯又看見小偷把女人的尸體扔進(jìn) [25:22.36]in an irrigation ditch. [25:24.19]灌溉渠道。 [25:26.02]This would be the cover story of the next issue of the newspaper for sure! [25:29.74]這篇報道寫出來肯定會成為下一期報紙的封面故事! [25:33.47]That was when an item fell from the junior editor's bag. [25:36.70]就在這時，-件東西從初級編輯的包里掉了出來。 [25:39.94]His journal landed in the bushes and the thief/murderer immediately saw him. [25:44.02]是他的雜志掉進(jìn)了灌木叢，那個小偷殺人犯立刻發(fā)現(xiàn)了他。 [25:48.09]Boy was he in a jam now! [25:50.47]這下初級編輯真是進(jìn)退兩難了! [25:52.85]The junior editor quickly pulled a can of irritant spray from his bag [25:56.57]他趕忙從包里掏出一瓶刺激性的噴霧劑， [26:00.29]and prepared to spray the eyes of the thief/murderer. [26:02.71]準(zhǔn)備噴小偷殺人犯的眼睛。 [26:05.13]The thief/murderer didn't want to jeopardize anything,however, [26:08.65]但那個小偷殺人犯并不想再冒任何風(fēng)險， [26:12.18]and jetted away on a motorcycle that he pulled from some bushes [26:15.21]他從一塊如密林的灌木叢中拖出一輛摩托車 [26:18.24]as thick as those of a jungle. [26:20.02]飛馳而去。 [26:21.79]All of the editors were jealous [26:24.73]所有的編輯都嫉妒不已 [26:27.67]when the junior editor made front-page the following day [26:30.33]第二天初級編輯上了頭版， [26:33.00]and declared a hero. [26:34.62]并被評為英雄， [26:36.24]He correctly identified the thief/murderer [26:39.41]他準(zhǔn)確地指認(rèn)出那個小偷殺人犯， [26:42.59]and the police brought him in. [26:44.57]警察把他抓了起來。 [26:46.56]Soon trees were filled with other young reportershoping to catch their own thief. [26:50.44]很快，樹上蹲滿了其他想捉賊的年輕記者。 [26:54.31]None came,however, [26:56.23]但是再也沒來過小偷， [26:58.15]and the junior editor was promoted to full editor for his bravery. [27:00.98]而初級編輯則因?yàn)橛⒂卤憩F(xiàn)被升為正式編輯。
