标题[问题] 请教这段英文翻译
时间Sat Jan 6 15:41:17 2007
麻烦懂的人告诉我正确的意思
我都搞不懂为何文章跑出这段来
Short先生到底是什麽身分?
前面的概述是Lawless跟Craven借款并获允诺
Upon returning home, one of Marty’s first stops was to the office
of his employer, where he resigned from his job. He also recommended
Craven to a cab driver friend, Bill Short. Short had recently been
rear ended by a beer truck and had suffered whiplash and other injuries.
His cab, which he owned, was totaled. But a few days later
he received a letter from Craven in which Craven wrote he had had a
“big deal”come up and did not have the money to loan now.
Craven thanked Lawless for the referral, expressed his regrets
and said he hoped “We can get together real soon.”
A few days thereafter Bill Short called to thank Lawless for
referring him to Craven.Short advised Lawless that Craven had almost
immediately negotiated a $500,000 settlement for him, as the beer
distributorbut had wanted to avoid publicity from a lawsuit
(it turned out that the beer truck driver was more than a little inebriated
at the time of the accident). Short also advised that Craven received a
40% contingent fee for his efforts.
我试着理解的是是不是他介绍Short给Craven?
好像发生一场车祸,但我不知道是怎麽发生的?
但是我不懂之後的车祸和信有关系吗?
不然为何提了车祸後就说接到信了
毁了的车子是谁所有的?啤酒商还是司机想告人吗?
後面一段是说Short很感谢他的介绍吗?
又说原本Craven已经要借他钱了却又不知怎地不借了
Craven最後拿到的钱是什麽?
快被搞疯了...怎麽看都不清楚到底三人间是什麽关系
发生什麽事?
因为没看懂就没办法做之後的问题回答
所以拜托了~急到很想哭(因为除了作业还要准备一堆考试)
另外,想再问一句是
(A) Discuss potential causes of action Lawless may have against Craven
and their likelihood of success.
是不是要问他能告Craven的理由and成功可能性吗?
感激不尽阿~!!!!!!!
