'And if something's not safe，then of course we'll change it，'mary Carter said．David Wilson looked at her，but he didn't say anything．
“如果有什么不安全的，我们当然要改变它，”玛丽·卡特说。大卫·威尔逊看着她，但没有说任何话。
'Yes，I see，'John began nervously．'Well，I think I could do that．I mean，when I worked for Harper Chemicals in Lon-don I…'He talked for two or three minutes about his work．David Wilson listened，but he didn't say anything．Ihen he smiled．It was a cold，hard smile，and it made John feel un-comfortable．He remembered his old suit and grey hair，and he wished he hadn't come．
“是的，我知道。”约翰紧张地说，“我想我能够做。我的意思是，当我在伦敦为哈波化学公司工作时，我……”他谈了两三分钟关于他的工作的事。大卫·威尔逊听着，但没插话，然后他微笑着。那是一种冰冷、严酷的笑，它使约翰感到很不舒服。他想起他的旧西服和灰头发，他后悔来这里。
'You really need this job，don't you，Mr Duncan？'david Wilson said．'You need it a lot．'
“你真的很需要这份工作，是吧，邓肯先生？”大卫·威尔逊说，“你非常迫切地需要它。”
'Yes，I do，'he said quietly．But he thought：I hate you，Wilson．You're enjoying this．You like making people feel small．I hate people like you．
“是的，”他轻声地回答。但是他想：我恨你，威尔逊。你喜欢看着我的这副样子。你喜欢使人感到渺小，我恨你这样的人。
Wilson's smile grew bigger．He stood up， and held out his hand．'OK，'he said．'When can you start？'
威尔逊的笑容变得更灿烂。他站起身，伸出手说：“好吧，你什么时候能开始？”
'What？'John was very surprised．'What did you say?'
“什么？”约翰很惊讶，“你说什么？”
'I said，“When can you start？”，Mr Duncan．We need you in our factory as soon as possible．Will Monday be OK？'
“我说'你什么时候能开始？'邓肯先生。我们需要你尽快到我们工厂，星期一行吗？”
'You mean I've got the job？'
“你是说我已得到这份工作了？”
'Of course．Congratulations！'Wilson shook John's hand．'My secretary will tell you about your pay．You'll have your own office，and a company car，of course．I'd like you to start work with Mary on Monday．Is that OK？'
“当然，祝贺你！”威尔逊握着约翰的手。“我的秘书将告诉你有关你的工资的事，你当然还有自己的办公室和公司配给你的车。我想让你星期一就开始与玛丽一起工作，那样行吗？”
'I…Yes，yes，of course．That's fine．Thank you，thank you very much．'
“我……行，当然可以。这很好，谢谢你，非常感谢。”
