“You're making excuses for your incompetence, Olivia, as you always do.”Theodore看着她,秦祺很明白,她又一次让父亲失望了。
(你在为你的无能找借口,奥莉薇亚,虽然你一贯如此)
Augustus见情况不对,他明白Chloé说不上话,便急忙转移话题:“Mr. Thompson, what are we going to do with Mr. George's body?”
(汤普森先生,我们要如何处理乔治先生的遗体?)
“Stay in China or return to the UK?”
(留在中国还是回到英国?)
因为George意愿的问题,所以这个抉择很棘手,只能由一家之主的Theodore来决定。
Theodore没有多想,很快给出了答案:“Why stay in China? He's not Chinese, is he, Olivia?”他是对着秦祺说的。
(为什么要留在中国?又不是中国人,是吧,奥莉薇亚)
Chloé一不愿面对这样的局面,二来不想让秦祺陷入窘境,“Theodore, why don't we talk, right now?”
(Theodore,我们谈谈吧)
“There's nothing to talk about when there's no time.”Theodore连一个眼神都没有给Chloé,转身对Augustus说道:“Let me know when and where you're ready. I've got something to do. I gotta go.”
(明明都没时间,有什么好谈的)
(准备好之后把时间地点告诉我。我还有事,先走了。)
临走前,Theodore对Olivia说了一句话,“Mind your own business, Miss Thompson, and stop doing nothing, because I don't want you to embarrass the Thompson family.”
(管好你自己,汤普森小姐,不要再一事无成了,我不想汤普森家族的脸面被你丢尽。)
轻飘飘的几句话,却好像一块大石头,压在Olivia心里。
“Father, I didn't... I really tried my best...”还没说完,Theodore已消失在拐角处。
(父亲,我没有…我真的尽我最大的努力了…)
Olivia哭了,比起祖父George的离开,父亲Theodore的否定与失望更让她难过。靠在白墙上,眼泪不住地流。
Chloé只能轻拍她的背以示安慰,Augustus给了她纸巾,“Get some rest, Olivia. You've got a game tomorrow, so I'll take care of it.”
(好好休息吧,奥莉薇亚,你明天还有比赛,这里就交给我,我会处理好的)
