18、威胁 Pukia ...
-
Pukia:“I'm sorry we sorta ended on a bad note last time.(我很抱歉我们上次算是不太愉快地结束了谈话。)”
这是Pukia见到Vivian说的第一句话。
Vivian:“Oh, it's OK. That's fine.(哦,没关系的,这没什么。)”
Pukia::“You worked here for a fair amount of time-(你在这里工作过一段时间 -)”
Vivian:“Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. Is that allowed?(对,我也在想,这是被允许的吗?)”
Pukia:“Well, I just think it's definitely something we can use to our advantage.(我只是觉得这完全可以是我们的优势。)”
Vivian:“It's your study.(反正是你们的实验。)”
她耸了耸肩。她不在乎。
Pukia:“Exactly, so no need to worry about that. As you know, one of our subjects withdrew. And I believe you still remember our last exchange——the one where your name was mentioned.(没错,所以你完全不用担心。如你所知,我们的一个参与者退出了这项研究。我想你还记得我们上个对话,你的名字出现的那个谈话。)”
Vivian:“The one that got me fired. Of course.(害我被除名的那个。当然。)”
Pukia:“Oh, come on. Haven't you realized yet? You were never fired. It's just a change of roles. You are a psychology student, you know what the study is about. You are cooperative, and you have a good story. You are the perfect candidate.(哦,别这样。你还没意识到吗?你从来就没有被真正解雇过。这只是一个角色的转变。你是心理学的学生,你知道这项研究是关于什么的。你很配合,你还有一个精彩的人生故事。你是最合适的人选。)”
“Cooperative?(配合的?)从哪看出来的?Vivian心想。
Vivian:“What do you mean that ‘I have a good story?’(你说‘我有一个好故事’是什么意思?)”
Pukia笑了一下,她倾身凑近Vivian的耳朵。
Pukia:“We know about your past.(我们知道你的过去。)”
她的声音很轻,呼出的气息吹到Vivian耳朵上令她感觉痒痒的,出了一身鸡皮疙瘩。
Vivian:“Is that a threat?(这是威胁吗?)”
Pukia:“Of course not. I just think it's definitely something we can use to our advantage.(当然不是。我只是觉得这完全可以是我们的优势。)”
她又重复了一遍之前的话,脸上露出天真的神情,冲Vivian友好地笑了笑。
原来这就是Pukia威胁人的样子,或者,应该说这就是上位者的姿态。
