I hope you've brought your pictures along. I see that you have. Let's get right to it. We need a new coffee table book, and a book of photos about the United States still feels right. OK, let's take a look. Good. Very good. Family Album, U.S.A. It's an excellent title. If you had to describe the book in one sentence, how would you do it?

我希望你带了你的照片一起来。 我看到你带来了。我们就直接谈正事了。 我们需要一本可以摆在客厅的。 而一本关于美国的摄影集仍然很有前景。 好了,让我们来看一看。 不错,很不错。走遍美国。 这是个绝妙的书名。 假如要你用一句话来描述这本, 你怎么说?

Richard

Well, I'd describe it as a book which is a ... a portrait of the United States-the places, the people-mostly the people. The things they do, the ways they live, the placesd they visit, and the landmarks. A photographic journey.

嗯,我会把这本书形容为一幅…… 一幅美国的剪影---美国的一些地方,人民---大部分是人。 他们所做的事情,他们的生活方式, 他们所去的地方,以及地标等等。一次透过摄影作品的旅行。

These are wonderful-these photos in your pen arts section. Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center.

Richard

There's something missing. You've got a good eye, Richard. You're a terrific photographer. But before I can publish your work. I need to meet with my marketing department, and you've got to do one more thing.

少了些东西。你有艺术眼光, Richard。 你是一名出色的摄影师。 但在我出版你的书之前, 我需要跟我的营销部门商量一下, 而且你还要做一件事。

Richard

What's that, Mr. Carlson?

什么事,Carlson 先生?

Carlson

In the section on culture, you've included performing arts centers, but you've left out street performance.The mimes. The musicians. The dancers-in the parks and on the streets. Richard, if you go out and photograph street performances in the city, you'll have it.

在文化这部分, 你拍了表演艺术中心, 但你忽略了街头表演。幽默剧演员。 音乐家啦,在公园或街头跳舞的人啦。 假如你出去 拍摄城市的街头表演, 那你就大功告成了。

Richard

That is a great ieda.The performing arts centers and the street performances. I'll do it.

这是个好主意。 表演艺术中心及街头表演。 我会去办。

If you do it, I'll publish your work.

Are you serious?
