131.The New Job
131.新工作
Richard was tired of the job search； he needed a break!
理查德煩死找工作了，他需要休息一下！
As he took off his dress and shoes and put on his jogging shoes
在他脫掉衣服和鞋子，換上慢跑運動鞋的時候，
the piece of paper where he had jotted down all of the interview times fell out of his pocket.
那張他匆匆寫下面試時間的紙條從口袋掉了出來。
He just sighed when he saw it. He had jumped at the challenge of job-hunting yesterday.
看到這張紙條他只是嘆了口氣。昨天他欣然應承了找工作的挑戰。
This morning he had even jumped right to it! Now he just wanted to give up.
今天上午他甚至積極行動起來了！現在他只想放棄算了。
He went to the bar for a drink.
他去酒吧想喝一杯。
"Hey, Ritchie, join the club, man! We didn't find anything either!" Bart said as Richard came in.
"嘿，里奇，咱們都一樣，伙計！我們也沒找到工作！"理查德進來的時候，巴特說。
"It's nothing to joke about, Bart." Richard said "I have to find something this week!"
"這件事沒有什么好開玩笑的"，巴特理查德說，"這個星期我怎么也得找點兒事做！"
"Stop whining. Join in on a drink, something will jump out at you before you know it."
"別嘀咕了。一起喝一杯吧，沒等你弄清怎么回事，事情可能就成啦。"
Richard sat down and took a drink. An hour later they were joined together singing old beer songs.
理査德坐下來端起了一杯酒。一個小時之后大家聯合起來唱起了古老的啤酒歌。
When a rough-looking man walked in they didn't even notice it.
當一個樣子很粗魯的人走進來時，他們甚至都沒有注意到。
"I'm looking for a couple men with nothing to do!" he said.
"我在找幾個沒有事做的人！"他說。
Richard and Bart, both jockeying for position, raised their hands at the same time!
由于理查德和巴特倆人都在謀求職位，他們同時舉起了手！
"I need you to make a delivery for me!" the man said.
"我需要你們給我送點東西！"那人說。
"But don't jump to the conclusion that this is anything illegal.
"可別匆忙下結論，認為這事是非法的。
This is a job for the boys and if you do it well, I'll have other work for ya!"
這是一個給自己人的肥缺，如果你們做得好，我還有其他工作給你們做！"
"I'll join hands with you any day, sir. I just need a job!" Richard said in a drunk, incoherent voice.
我隨時準備與您合作，先生。我真的需要一份工作！"理查德說話時醉醺醺地而且前言不搭后語。
Then he took the package and, together with Bart they stumbled out to make their first delivery for the mob!
然后他拿起那個包裹，和巴特一起跌跌撞撞地出去了。這是他們第一次為犯罪集團送貨！
They had just jumped in at the deep end and they didn't even know they were doing it!
他們真是貿然行事，因為他們甚至都不知道自己在做這樣的事！
Their life with the mob had begun!
他們混跡于犯罪集團的生活開始了。
