迈克和我苦苦哀求,说我们已经快攒够了,只等一对邻居夫妇用完他们的牙膏后,我们就可以马上开始生产了。经过一番口舌,最后妈妈给了我们一周的延期。
The date to begin production was moved up. The pressure was on. My first partnership was already being threatened with an eviction notice from our warehouse space by my own mom. It became Mike's job to tell the neighbors to quickly use up their toothpaste, saying their dentist wanted them to brush more often anyway. I began to put together the production line.
来自妈妈的压力使我们的生产日期提前了。我的第一桩生意,由于货仓收到了妈妈的逐客令而出现危机,迈克的任务变成了告诉邻居们快些用完他们的牙膏,告诉他们牙医希望他们比平常更多地刷牙,我则开始组装生产线。按照时间表,生产将于一星期后正式开始。开始生产的日子终于到了。
One day my dad drove up with a friend to see two 9-year-old boys in the driveway with a production line operating at full speed. There was fine white powder everywhere. On a long table were small milk cartons from school, and our family's hibachi grill was glowing with red hot coals at maximum heat.
爸爸带着一个朋友驱车而至,来看两个9岁男孩在公路边合力操弄一条生产线。空气中飞扬着的是细细的白色粉末,在一个长桌上是一些从学校拿来的废牛奶纸盒以及家里的烧烤架,烧烤架已经被发红的炭烤到了极热,发着白光。
