喂? -嘿 塞洛尼斯
Hello? – [Carl] Hey, Thelonious.
你好吗? 我叫卡尔·布朗特
How you doing? My name is Carl Brunt.
我是新英格兰图书协会的首席执行官
I am the director of the New England Book Association.
嗨 卡尔 我知道你是谁
Hi, Carl. I know who you are.
很好 那么也许你也会知道
Oh, good. Then perhaps you’ll also know
我们组织每年都会举♥行♥
that each year my organization bestows
自以为是的”文学奖”
the somewhat pretentiously named Literary Award.
每位作家都知道文学奖 卡尔
Every writer knows the Literary Award, Carl.
特别是我们这些还没得奖的人
Especially those of us who haven’t won it.
对啦
Yeah. Yeah.
这也是我打来的原因
Well, that’s sort of related to why I’m calling.
像其他许多美国组织 我们最近被批评
Like many American institutions, mine was recently rattled by the notion
因缺乏多元性
that our lack of diversity
导致奖项有其盲点
had led to a blind spot in our work.
所以我们正试图修正这点
So, you know, we’re kind of trying to remedy that.
因此 我们想知道你是否愿意
And to that end, I was wondering how you might feel
担任今年奖项的评审?
about being a judge in this year’s award ceremony?
首先 卡尔 我很荣幸
Um, let me say first, Carl, that I’m honored you choose me
你冒着被批评种族歧视的风险
out of all the Black writers you could go to out of fear
在所有黑人作家中选了我
of being called racist.
不客气
Yeah, you’re very welcome.
但我觉得这个工作很辛苦
But I think this sounds like a lot of work.
我不否认
Yeah, I can’t deny that.
你要读好几十本书
I mean, you’re going to have to read dozens of books.
我们可以提供你不错的津贴
We could offer you a modest stipend.
即便如此 我仍无法决定
Even so, I’m not sure.
好 当人们这样持观望态度时
Okay. One of the crass perk I reference
我会用一种的粗俗的方式去说服
when people are kind of on the fence like this
就是这能让你有机会
is that this will allow you the opportunity
真正去评审这些作品
to literally judge these other writers for once,
而非形而上的批评
rather than just figuratively.
好 我参加 -太棒了 很好
All right, I’m in. Well, fantastic. Okay.
很好 所以你会成为五位评审之一
Great. So you’re going to be one of five judges.
我们目前唯一确认的 只有辛塔拉·戈登
Uh, the only one we have confirmed so far is Sintara Golden.

Vaguely.

你将会赚一大笔钱
you stand to make a lot of money.

then he needs to meet in person.
