侦探的工作

STUART: Linderman Building. Sometimes I wonder what my future's going to be like. You

know if I work really hard then one day I'll have my own business or at least that's my dream.

Some people say that the decisions we make today can have an effect on the rest of our lives,

though that being said, I broke into the office where I work at. It could destroy my career.

林德曼大厦。 有时候我会想知道我的未来是什么样子的。 你知道吗？如果我真的努力工作，那么有一天我会拥有自己的事业或者至少那是我的梦想。 有的人说我们今天做的决定会影响我们今后的生活，尽管这么说，我还是强行闯入了我工作的办公室。 这会毁了我的事业的。

STUART: I mean, if they find out, it will destroy my career. It's just I had to look into

the Linderman file. You know, the Linderman Building is this beautiful building located

in downtown Los Angeles, and our company has invested in it. They'd like to purchase it.

So far so good.

我的意思是，如果他们发现，我的事业就毁了。 我必须查看Linderman的档案。 你知道的，林德曼大厦是这幢坐落在洛杉矶商业区的漂亮建筑，我们公司也投资了。 他们想买下它。 到现在为止,一直都还不错。

STUART: For some reason Elizabeth wants to destroy the building, the Linderman Building,

the most beautiful and historic building in all of downtown Los Angeles. I mean there won't

be another one like it. I mean so what will happen if the building doesn't come down? Well

there'll be a good opportunity for Los Angeles to be the new, New York City of the twenty

first century, the way I see it.

在某些原因上，Elizabeth想破坏洛杉矶闹市区最漂亮和具有历史意义的建筑林德曼大厦。 我的意思是没有其他人会喜欢它了。 我的意思是如果大厦不被拆除，那又会发生什么呢？ 在我看来，洛杉矶有机会成为21世纪的新纽约城市。

of money later. And if you join the Peace Corps.

那么你打算做什么呢？ 让我们看看你的选择。 如果你现在得到一份工作，你会很快赚到钱。 要是你去法学院后成为一名律师，你之后会赚很多钱的。 如果你加入和平队...

really help people.

see her for two years. I'll worry so much.
