Judith Larson pressed through the embassy crowd with a sense of controlled urgency, as if there weren't time in her life to get from one side of the room to the other. She searched frantically for Razedi, saw him, worked her way over. The Iranian Ambassador bowed stiffly.
朱迪思 赖森强忍着自己的焦急不安穿过拥挤的大使及其随从，匆忙的从房子的这一头走到另一头。她疯了似的寻找着Razedi。一看到他，就走过去了。这个伊朗大使深深的鞠了一躬。
"Ahh, Mrs.Larson, welcome. And your husband?"
“啊，赖森小姐，欢迎你和你，你的丈夫在哪呢？”
"I am sorry," she said. "Josh couldn't make it this evening."
“实在抱歉，”她说。“乔希今晚不能来了。”
Shardir Razedi smiled, but something glacial sieved through.
Shardir Razedi笑了，一丝凉意透过。
"I am saddened. Will you excuse me?"
“我有点悲哀，你不会介意吧？”
"Shardir, I want to talk to you," she begged.
“Shardir，我想和你谈一谈，”她近乎祈求的说道。
He brushed past her.
他安抚着她。（这句我也翻译不好）
