inner-instantaneous Insolvency

无力偿还

When the inspector told him that his company was insolvent, Chris almost went insane.

检查员告诉克里斯他的 公司无偿债能力时, 他几乎都要疯了。

He threw things, yelled at his employees and insisted that the inquiry was a farce.

他扔东西, 冲着员工大叫大喊, 并坚持说检查员的调查 是一场闹剧。

He was supposed to be rich! He just couldn't believe

克里斯应该有钱! 他就是不信

that all of his innovations hadn't taken care of his expenses! Because of his inspiration

他搞了那么多的创新居 然会入不敷出! 由于灵感丰富,

he had developed products to protect crops from devastating insect infestation,

made communication between computers almost instantaneous and cured several forms of cancer! How could he have no money?

Upon his own further inspection of the situation, however, Chris saw innumerable mistakes in the company bookkeeping.

可是亲自对情况做了深 入的检查之后, 克里斯发现公司簿记有 数不清的错误。

The man who inspected them had been correct. He called in his brother, Jeff, the chief accountant.

检查人员没有错。 他把主任会计师--他 的兄弟杰夫叫了进来。

Jeff immediately said that he was innocent. But the quick plea of innocence made Chris insecure

杰夫立即说自己是清 白的。 但杰夫这么快就为自己 的清白辩护让克里斯觉 得不可靠

and he heard an inner voice tell him to look at Jeff's private accounts. He told Jeff everything was okay and that he could relax.

他听到内心有个声音对 他说：看看杰夫的私人 账户。 他告诉杰夫没出任何事 情, 他可以放松了。

When Jeff left Chris became inspired. Without any input from the inspector on where money had gone,

杰夫走后, 克里斯得 到了启发。 由于检查员对资金去向 没有提供任何信息,

Chris found that several large installments had been misdirected from his company into Jeff' s accounts;

他发现几笔大的分期付 款 从公司错误地转到了 杰夫账上。

his brother had betrayed him ! When Chris called Jeff into his office again,

the insecurity on Jeff's face was obvious. Jeff tried to insert that he was innocent again,

杰夫脸上明显露出不 安的神色。 杰夫又想插话说自已 是清白的,

but Chris quickly had him arrested. He always trusted his own insights

and he didn't want anything to do with a brother who had cheated him. Chris luckily retrieved most of the money

to continue making innovations to help mankind. Jeff spent 10 years in a low security prison and never saw his brother again.
