A: Good morning, Chris Gardner, good to see you again. (My)Pleasure. I’ve been sitting out there for the last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this. And I wanted to come with a story that would demonstrate qualities that I’m sure you all admire here, like earnestness or diligence, team-playing, something. And I couldn’t think of anything. So the truth is I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.
早，我是Chris Gardner，很榮幸再見面。我在外面坐了半個多小時，一直想編出個理由，向你們解釋我這身打扮出現(xiàn)的原因，同時表現(xiàn)出你們所欣賞的優(yōu)點，比如誠實、勤奮、團隊精神等等。結(jié)果我卻什么都想不出來。事實是，因為我沒能付清停車罰單，我被拘留了。
B: Parking tickets?
停車罰單？
A: And I ran all the way here from the Polk station, the police station.
我是從警差局，警察局一路跑來。
