茉莉牌局（2017）

帕特请我帮个忙
Pat asked me a favor.
他说新泽西有几个搞对冲基金的家伙
He said there were a couple of hedge fund guys
他们想玩牌局
in New Jersey who wanted to play and
他可以跟他们得分
he could score points with them
前提是他能让他们和我见一面
if he was able to get them a meeting with me.
我答应了 然后把见面定在星期四下午五点的四季酒吧
I said sure and set the meeting for 5 p.m. on a Thursday
因为我知道如果他们真的是干那行
at the Four Seasons bar, knowing that if they were legit,
他们会在收市钟声后 减价供应饮料时间里
they’d recognize someone in the crowd at Happy Hour
在四季酒吧认出人群中的某个人
at the Four Seasons right after the closing bell.
事实证明 我没必要这么大费周章
It turns out I didn’t need to be that clever.
这些人不是金融家
These weren’t finance guys,
他们只是泽西男孩音乐剧中的演员
they were from the cast of Jersey Boys.
他们不自觉地环顾四周
They looked around the bar self-consciously,
他们与周围格格不入
they were out of their element.
那些难缠的家伙在没有安全感的时候 会让自己看起来更强硬
And tough guys try to look tougher when they’re insecure.
我预感到了他们想要什么
I had a good hunch what they wanted
我得尽快结束这次会面
and I was gonna have to shut down this meeting quickly
但我不会粗鲁对待
but without being rude to Joey Bag-a-Donuts
他们两位的
and Secaucus Sal.

我不记得另一个人点的什么了
I don’t remember what the other guy ordered
但我永远不会忘记约翰·G
but I’ll never forget what John G. had.
他看着服务员好像在说他可以
He looked at the waiter as if to say that he could handle himself

我喜欢助人为乐
I like to do favors.
他们会把你们点的饮料记我账上
They’ll put your drinks on my card.
我的记忆中有一些空白
There are some gaps in my memory,
他们说当你经历过所谓的事件时这是很常见的
which they say is common when you’ve had what’s called an event.
例如 我不记得自己是从哪里来的
For instance, I don’t remember where I was coming from
当我把车开进我的大楼时
when I calked into my building.
我的门卫雷吉说 他那有包裹要给我
Just that my doorman, Reggie, said he had packages for me.

And then right there on the front page
纽♥约♥时♥报♥的头版上
of the New York Times from eight days ago–
近125人在全面围捕中被捕

有时候报应来的就是这么快
Sometimes God happens fast.
我的脸已经痊愈了 只要一点化妆品
