※ 引述《HarryYu (HarryYu)》之铭言： : After Backing a Dark Horse, Lin’s Agent Is Riding High : By NEIL JANOWITZ　Published: March 9, 2012 NY Times : 原文连结:http://tinyurl.com/7x3qa8s 恕删 : Montgomery has not looked at his February phone bill yet. No need. He knows : it is “off the charts.” Linsanity had a slower start than many people : remember — Lin saw limited action with the Knicks for more than a month : before he suddenly started taking over games — but once it took hold, Lin : became one of the more marketable figures in the United States, and beyond. : 蒙哥马利已经不需要在意他2月份的电话帐单要多少钱了, : 林来疯让林书豪在短时间内变的极具市场价值,而且是长久的 林来疯起飞其实比一般人所记忆的来的慢、但是一飞起来、他的市场价值扩及 全美国、甚至超越！ : That left Montgomery and his new team — he has hired two full-time staff : members, one to work on marketing and player relations, the other to be an : administrative assistant — with the enviable task of sifting through the : pitches cascading their way. They are taking their time, talking to Nike : about a revised deal for Lin, trying to fend off unsolicited advice. And : withstanding the criticism from those who think Montgomery is doing Lin a : disservice by not getting his name on several dotted lines right now. : “I’ve been hearing that we should strike while the iron is hot, as though : Jeremy’s a one-hit wonder,” Montgomery said. “People don’t know what we : should do, but they’re on TV pretending they do.” 这造成Montgomery与他的新团队（一个负责市场公关、一个负责管理）需要去处理许多 令人羡慕的工作。他们修改了Lin跟Nike的合约、排除一些没建设性的建议。他们也得面 对一些批评、批评他们没有好好趁势好好宣传Lin是伤害Lin。但Montgomery说、“我听过 有人建议我们应该要趁这种短期热潮捞一笔！其实、人们不知道我们应该怎麽作、但是 他们总是在电视上假装他们知道。" : So he is blocking it out, even as Linsanity has quieted down for now as the : Knicks and Lin have found it harder to sustain their initial run. : Montgomery has two businesses to build— his client’s and his own — and : that does not leave much time for engaging talking heads or reading any of Lin : ’s press clippings or even wondering what is ailing the Knicks at the : moment. Back in the pharmacy, Montgomery did not buy that copy of People, or : even flip through it. There was not much point. “It’s not as interesting to : read a story,” he says, “when you’re living it.” 所以、即使是在Linsanity似乎要退烧的现在、Montgomery还是挡了这些建议。他不但要 建立自己的一翻事业、也同时要帮助他的客户建立一翻事业。因此他没有太多 时间去管报纸的头条写Lin什麽、甚至是尼克对要怎麽处理目前的困境。回到刚开始的那 间药店、Montgomery并没有去买那本八卦杂志、甚至连翻都没翻。因为根本没什麽意义。 他说、“这故事一点都不会吸引我去读 --- 因为我就是身在其中！“ : 有人要接力我就偷懒一下搂.. : P.S.英文很烂,边查字典边翻,有错请鞭 简单接力、有些地方还是翻不太出来、 例如 on several dotted lines ... --
