在葬禮上，60歲的公司總裁告訴48歲的寡婦，51歲的死者對公司非常重要，公司會思念他，很難找到人來代替他。寡婦不敢正面看他。她擔(dān)心他會看出她的不快。畢竟，她需要他來理清他們之間的財務(wù)——優(yōu)先認(rèn)股權(quán)等等之類。第68頁/共87頁13.菲爾身體胖，弦總是繃得緊緊的，工作太賣力。如果他不在辦公室，他就放心不下。他是容易患心臟病的那種人。在一大群人中，你一眼就能將他辨認(rèn)出來。14.

因此，當(dāng)他星期天凌晨三點(diǎn)整終于把自己累死時，沒有人真正感到吃驚。第69頁/共87頁15.安葬的那天下午五點(diǎn)，公司總裁開始（當(dāng)然非常謹(jǐn)慎地）向他的左右詢問接替菲爾的人選（三者之一）的情況。他問大家：“誰工作最賣力？”第70頁/共87頁be(get/grow/become)addictedto…:
