【10 Death of a Salesman 推銷員之死】
------------------------------------------
Willy Loman, a sixty-year-old traveling salesman, enters his home late at night with two large sample cases. His wife, Linda, hears him coming up the stairs to their bedroom. She seems worried that something has happened, that he has wrecked the car again, or that he’s ill, but Willy assures her that he is fine, just tired. Sitting on the bed with her, he explains that he came home because he was having trouble staying on the road while he drove, and he is unsure of what caused his distraction. It could’ve been the coffee he had at a roadside diner or the way he opened the windshield of the car and the scenery and sunshine just washed over him. Whatever it was, it kept taking his mind of the road, and he’d veer onto the shoulder before he knew what was happening. He was so spooked that he drove ten miles an hour all the way home, and now he’s tired and grumpy because he’s going to miss his morning meeting in Portland, Rhode Island. Linda urges him to talk to his boss about working in the New York area so that he doesn’t have to travel anymore，
一位六十歲的旅行推銷員威利·洛曼深夜拎著兩個沉重的、裝著樣品的箱子回到家。他的妻子琳達聽到他上樓梯，走到了他們的臥室。她似乎擔心發生了什麼事，擔心他再次破壞了車子或是他生病了，但威利向她保證他沒事，隻是累了。他們一起坐在床上，威利向妻子解釋說他回家是因為他在開車時遇到了麻煩，他不確定是什麼讓他分心。這可能是他在路邊餐廳用過的咖啡，或者是他打開汽車擋風玻璃風景和陽光恰恰籠罩著他。不管原因是什麼，他一直在考慮這條路，在他還沒有弄清楚原因前，他已經把注意力轉向肩膀。他非常驚訝自己回來時的車速是每小時十英裡。一想到自己會錯過開在羅德島波特蘭的晨間會議，他就感到疲倦又暴躁。琳達勸他與他的老板談談在紐約地區工作，以便他不必再旅行出差了，但他對她說：“紐約不需要我。我是新英格蘭人。我對新英格蘭地區至關重要。”針對他應該在

but he says to her, “They don’t need me in New York. I’m the New England man. I’m vital in New England.” After more discussion of all the reasons why he should be working in New York, Linda suggests again that he go speak with his boss, Howard Wagner, Willy finally agrees to do it, emphasizing that if Wagner’s father were still in charge of the company, Willy would have already had a New York job. Wagner doesn’t appreciate Willy the way his father did.
紐約工作的所有理由進行更多的討論之後，琳達再次建議他與他的老板霍華德·瓦格納談談，最終，威利同意這麼做，強調如果瓦格納父親仍然負責該公司，威利早就有了一份紐約的工作。瓦格納並不像他父親那樣欣賞威利。
