Mr Trillin describes himself as a Deadline Poet because of the rhyming verses he contributesregularly to the Nation. Happily, there are pages of them in this book. One sample, after aheadline in the New York Times: SEC Accuses Goldman of Fraud in Housing Deal:
特里林称他自己为死线诗人,因为他定期在《国家》上发布诗歌。庆幸的是,这本书里摘录了许多他的诗歌。如在纽约时报大标题文章证券交易委员会指控高盛房屋交易诈骗。
Theyre doing Gods work, their CEO said.
Theyre the kings of the Street.
They are regal.
So now we must ask if God ever knew
That some of his work was illegal.
他们正做的是上帝赋予的工作,他们的首席执行官说道。
他们是街道国王。
他们是帝王。
因此我们现在必须问问上帝
问他是否知道他的一些工作是非法行为。
