今天是旧金山商业巨子尼古拉·费奥顿48岁的生日,但是他一点儿也不快乐,因为昨天晚上又梦见了父亲当年跳楼自杀的情景。实际上,许多年来,尼古拉从没有摆脱过小时候与父亲在一起生活的回忆,这使他经常心情郁闷,脾气古怪。他的妻子丽莎为此离开了他,他的弟弟康拉德也与他多年没有了来往。尽管他事业有成,但仍独身一人生活着。 尼古拉把坏情绪带到了办公室。秘书玛莉小姐和别的雇员向他祝贺生日快乐,他无动于衷,所有的社交活动,他都一一拒绝。当听到弟弟要约他吃晚饭时,他才答应了。
Today is the 48-year-old birthday of San Francisco-based business tycoon Nicola Feidon, but he is not at all happy either because he dreamed last night that his father had committed suicide in the same year. In fact, for many years Nicholas never freed himself from the memories of living with his father during his childhood, which made him often depressing and eccentric. His wife Lisa left him for this, and his younger brother Conrad had not been with him for many years. Despite his successful career, but still single life. Nicola took the bad mood to the office. Secretary Miss Mary and other employees congratulated him on a happy birthday. He was indifferent to all social activities and he refused. When he heard his brother asked him to dinner, he agreed.
