For the last ten years, I have written novels for a living. Through my work, I have been able to accumulate a fair amount of wealth. I have been lucky because many of my books have received acclaim from literary critics.
過(guò)去十年,我靠寫(xiě)作小說(shuō)掙錢(qián)。通過(guò)我的工作,我積累了一筆客觀的財(cái)富。我很幸運(yùn),因?yàn)槲业脑S多書(shū)都獲得了文學(xué)評(píng)論界的好評(píng)。
My latest accomplishment is a mystery novel. It is a fictional account of how a clever and accomplished thief, posing as an accountant, gains access to the computer system of a large bank. Having extensive knowledge of accounting, he and a woman accomplice use the bank's computer system to accomplish the biggest theft in history.
我最新的作品是一部懸疑小說(shuō)。這部小說(shuō)虛構(gòu)了一個(gè)聰明而嫻熟的盜賊如何假扮會(huì)計(jì)師進(jìn)入一家大銀行的信息系統(tǒng)。依靠大量的會(huì)計(jì)知識(shí),他和一名女性從犯使用銀行的信息系統(tǒng)完成了史上最大的盜竊。
To be a good writer, I think you must find a quiet environment where you can think, preferably one with limited accessibility. Some of my most acclaimed work was written at an isolated island hotel off the coast of China. I highly recommend this place.
要想成為一名優(yōu)秀的寫(xiě)作者,我認(rèn)為你要找到一個(gè)安靜的環(huán)境進(jìn)行思考,最好是一個(gè)不易到達(dá)的地方。我的一些廣受贊譽(yù)的著作就是在一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離中國(guó)海岸的孤島上的酒店里完成的。我極力推薦這個(gè)地方。
The island is accessible only by boat and the hotel is accredited by the Asian Resort Association as a five-star accommodation. Upon arrival, the manager will accompany you to your room and show you how everything works. The staff is trained to accommodate your every need. Any errors in service are purely accidental. The security is excellent and there's little chance of being accosted by strangers.
這個(gè)島嶼只能乘船抵達(dá),該酒店被亞洲度假協(xié)會(huì)評(píng)為五星級(jí)酒店。辦理入住后,酒店經(jīng)理會(huì)陪你去到房間并給你介紹所有設(shè)施。工作人員訓(xùn)練有素的滿足你所有需求。如果服務(wù)有任何問(wèn)題,純粹是意外。安保做的也很好,很少有機(jī)會(huì)遇到陌生人搭訕。
Each room has a balcony with a view of the ocean. On the balcony you will find a large leather chair and a sturdy writing desk. The bathroom is very modern and contains many unique accessories. The most useful bathtub accessory is their mini-desk, which allows you to write while soaking in a tub of hot water.
每個(gè)房間都有海景陽(yáng)臺(tái)。在陽(yáng)臺(tái)上你能找到一張皮椅和一張堅(jiān)固的書(shū)桌。浴室非?,F(xiàn)代化,配備了許多獨(dú)特的設(shè)施。最實(shí)用的浴缸設(shè)備是一張迷你桌,他能讓你泡在一缸熱水中寫(xiě)作。
To continue being a good writer, you must find a way to relax your mind after a long day of writing. What's my secret method of relaxation? Playing the accordian!
要持續(xù)保持優(yōu)秀的寫(xiě)作,你要學(xué)會(huì)在一整天的寫(xiě)作之后找到放松心靈的方法。但我的秘密方法不是娛樂(lè),而是演奏手風(fēng)琴。
