That wasn't all. One of my oldest friends emailed from London to say that he was stopping by New York on his way home to Australia but would only be in town Sunday afternoon. I hadn't seen him since 1989. But I wasn't checking my email so I never found out that he was in town till I got home Sunday evening. By that time he was gone. Maybe I'll catch up with him on his next visit in 2035.
这还没完。我的一个铁杆老友从伦敦给我发来一封电子邮件,说他返回澳大利亚时会在纽约短暂逗留,但只有周日下午在纽约。我俩1989年以来就从没见过面。但由于我一直没有查看电子邮件,所以我直到周日晚上到家时才知道他来纽约了。而那时他已经走了。下次他再来的话就得到2035年了,或许到那时我们能有机会见上一面。
My broker left a phone message Thursday morning saying that Apple was going to win its lawsuit over Samsung on Friday, so I could make a killing by going long on Apple and shorting Samsung. Particularly if I tapped into the home-equity loan and leveraged up. But I had to do it right away or miss out on the chance of a lifetime. Unfortunately, I had my phone shut off. My dreams of retiring to Aix-en-Provence are gone. Now I'll have to retire to Aix-en-Poughkeepsie.
我的股票经纪人周四早晨给我电话留言,说苹果公司(Apple)周五将赢得与三星电子(Samsung)的诉讼,如果我做多苹果,做空三星电子,就可以大赚一笔。要是我动用物业套现贷款,增加杠杆比率的话,恐怕能赚得更多。但我必须立即下手,否则就会失去这千载难逢的机会。不幸的是,我把手机给关了。我退休后到法国普罗旺斯地区艾克斯(Aix-en-Provence)居住的梦想破灭了,现在我退休后只好去纽约州“波基普西市艾克斯”(Aix-en-Poughkeepsie)了。
