接下来的星期三，回到白宫的里根与国家安全顾问们以及16名议员开会讨论即将与俄国人开展的核武器谈判。但他的心思似乎还在那部电影上。

At one point, he put down his index cards and asked if anyone else had seen it. No one had, so he described the plot in detail. Some of the lawmakers looked around the room with suppressed smiles or raised eyebrows. Three months earlier, Reagan had delivered his “Star Wars” speech, imploring scientists to build laser weapons that could shoot down Soviet missiles in outer space. The idea was widely dismissed as nutty. What was the old man up to now?

后来他推开面前的资料卡，问其他人看没看过那部电影。其他人都说没看过，于是他就把故事情节详细讲述了一遍。几名议员不禁忍着笑，扬起眉毛环视四周。三个月之前，里根刚刚做了“星球大战”讲演，要求科学家们开发激光武器，从外太空击落苏联的导弹。很多人都觉得这个想法简直太疯狂了。这个老家伙现在又想干什么？

After finishing his synopsis, Reagan turned to Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and asked: “Could something like this really happen?” Could someone break into our most sensitive computers? General Vessey said he would look into it.

讲完剧情，里根转向参谋长联席会议主席小约翰·W·维西将军(Gen. John W. Vessey Jr.)，问道：“这种事真的会发生吗？”也就是说，真的会有人侵入我们最敏感的电脑中去吗？维西将军答应调查一下。
