品尝完杜明贤专门做的【水晶烧麦】、【鸡蓉豆花】、【上汤娃娃菜】、以及【蓝莓山药】后，珍妮弗女士拿出随身携带的手帕轻轻拭了拭嘴，点头道：“Those dishes are absolutely fine， I think your cooking talent is underappreciated.”﹝这些食物味道不错，我认为你很有做饭的才能。﹞
“That's really kind of you to say， Madam.”﹝您这样说我很开心，夫人。﹞
“Millie and I are leaving tomorrow morning. We had a great time， thank you.”﹝米莉和我明早离开。我们这几天很愉快，谢谢。﹞
“I will miss her. Please bring her to China more often for me and of course， her father.”﹝我会想她的。请经常带她来中国玩，为我，当然也是为了她爸爸。﹞
“Certainly.”﹝没问题。﹞
珍妮弗女士虽然并不冷漠刁钻，甚至还非常礼貌，但言语间几乎没有任何温度，让人怀疑威廉口中的“疯婆子”是不是和“冰雪女王”同义？而英语并不是杜明贤的母语，平时也鲜少使用，所以用起来非常生疏僵硬——这让杜明贤开始有点儿佩服能把中文玩笑都开得贼溜的威廉了…
“Regarding Millie's father，I have a request to make and I am willing to pay for it.“﹝关于米莉的父亲，我有个愿意支付报酬的请求。﹞
杜明贤一怔，立马摇头：“No， I won't kill him. I don't want to， and I can't !”﹝不，我不会杀他的。我不想杀，也杀不了！﹞
“I didn't mean it like that.”﹝我不是这个意思。﹞
“Do you want me to spy on him and tell you about all the women he has dated?”﹝您是希望我监视他并告诉您所有他约会的女性？﹞
“Charming， but no. What I want you to do is to take care of him.”﹝想法挺诱人，但不是。我希望你好好关照他。﹞
“I already said I won't kill him!”﹝我都说过了我不想杀他！﹞
“Take care of him with love and tenderness! Make sure he feels loved and protected!”﹝我说的是用爱和温柔好好照顾他！让他感受到被爱和被保护！﹞
英文的“take care of”字面意思就是“照顾”，但在俗语中有“处理掉”的意思，所以杜明贤误会了。不过就算如此，用爱和温柔什么的对威廉实在是大可不必！
“Take this， it's a gesture.”﹝拿着，这是我想要表达的立场。﹞
杜明贤疑惑地接过珍妮弗女士早就准备好的一张纸，定睛一看发现是张支票，金额是——100万！而且还是英镑！！
“No.”杜明贤立刻把支票还了回去，甚至还在思考要不要连指纹都擦掉？
“You want more?”﹝你还要更多吗？﹞
珍妮弗女士作势要往数字后添“0”。
“This is wrong， in so many levels.”﹝这事不对，在各种意义上都不对。﹞
稍微冷静了几秒，杜明贤组织好语言才解释道：“William and I are friends who help each other equally.”﹝威廉和我是朋友，我们平等地互相帮助。﹞
“Consider the money as a gift. You can buy a bigger apartment and then help each other equally.”﹝把这笔钱当成一份礼物。你们能买套大房子，然后再去“平等地互相帮助”。﹞
杜明贤还是摇头。如果让威廉知道自己收了这笔钱，他会真的发火——至今为止从未见过威廉真正发火的样子，杜明贤的打算是一辈子都不要见！
