這里的人反倒與我 funny, but this whole place has finally decided
冰釋前嫌了 that they don't really hate me after all.

他說 我受夠美國了 And he's like, "I had it up to here with America
壓抑 退化 簡直就是法西斯 and it's repressive, regressive, fascist," whatever.
我是那么說的嗎 有那么說過嗎 I sound like that? That's how I sound?
可不是 你就是那樣說的 You do. You sound like that.
然后他又走到教室前 And he gets up in front of the class.
說道 我受不了了 He says, "I just, I couldn't take it anymore,
所以我搬去了法國重拾生活 so I picked up my life, and I moved to France."
事實可并非如此吧 This is being ludicrously misreported, by the way.
于是我舉手提問道 So I raised my hand.
等一下 等一下 彼得 I said, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Peter.
你是說由于你對這個國家不滿 "You're telling us you got so angry at this country
才搬到法國去的嗎 that you moved to France?"
然后彼得說 好吧 And Peter says, "Yeah.
是因為我拿了富布萊特獎學金 Well, I had a Fulbright."
好吧 好吧 要是我抖摟出 Yeah, well, yeah, if I told you
這個傻瓜上學時的老底 what this putz was like when he was here,
他會奪門而哭的 he'd run out of the room crying.
這倒是 That's probably true.
你上學時什么樣 Well, what were you like when you were here?
我當時英俊瀟灑 有沒有 I was very handsome, wasn't I?
我沒說錯吧 Am I remembering that correctly?
沒印象了 No, I don't remember that.
我就記得畢業周時 But what I do remember is you being a real jerk
你對你父母耍無賴 to your parents on graduation weekend.
他不想離開 He didn't want to leave.
可不是嘛 It's true.
我埋怨我的爸媽 還有繼父繼母 And I blamed my parents, weirdly, all four of them.
都怪他們終結了我的大學生涯 Like it was their fault college was ending.
你可別這么對我們 Don't do that to us.
-不會的 -別看她現在答應得好好的 - No, I won't. - She says that now.
你父母說你參加了即興表演社團 So your parents told me you're in the improv group?
是的 Yeah.
怎么樣 How's that?
特別好 我很喜歡 It's the best. I love it.
喜歡在哪兒 What do you love about it?
我喜歡那種令人生畏的感覺 Um, I think I love how terrifying it is
在里面沒有"不"字可言 and how you have to say "Yes" to everything.
抱歉 不太明白你說的 Uh, sorry, what does that mean?
即興表演的唯一規定 It's, like, the only rule of improv.
永遠不能說"不" You can never say "No."
你必須接受并相應地添加些東西 You have to say "Yes" and then add something.
比方說 Like, uh-like, look.
媽媽 你和我已經在沙漠里游蕩數日 Um, okay, Mom, you and I have been wandering in the desert for days,
奄奄一息 and we're about to die, okay?
好吧 Ok.
我說 把那個檸檬遞給我 Okay, and I say, "Hand me that lemonade",
把那個檸檬遞給我 So hand me that lemonade.
上帝 蘇珊 把那個檸檬遞給她 Jesus, Susan, hand her the goddamn lemonade.
算了 Never mind.
杰西 把那個檸檬遞給我 Jesse, hand me that lemonade.
謝謝 Thank you.
好吃 我喜歡 Sweet, just the way I like it.
我領會精髓了 I nailed this.

哪兒來的檸檬 I mean, where would we get lemonade?
幸會幸會 It's great seeing you guys.
你學的什么專業 So what was your major?
主修英語 輔修歷史 I was English with a minor in history,
都是找不到工作的專業 just to make sure I was fully unemployable.
-是啊 -你呢 - Right. - What about you?
戲劇 Drama.
不是正式地學 I mean, not officially yet,
因為我爸爸不同意 'cause my dad's not totally thrilled with the idea,
所以還應該算是藝術史專業吧 so maybe also art history?
你時不時地去社團還是挺好的 I'm just happy you go to clan occasionally.
沒準你一整天都在即興表演 I thought maybe you just improvised all day long.
沒有吧 Nope.
倒也沒準 I mean, I do, I guess.
你想過嗎 Have you ever thought about that?
想過什么 About what?
生活中的每件事都是即興發揮的 How everything in life is basically improvised?
沒有劇本 There's no script.
一切都是自編自演 We're just making this up as we go.
有道理 That's true.
是啊 So yeah.
即興表演的學問可大了 Well, improv is deep, man.
我們要走了 Well, we're about to head out.

我就在想 You know, I'm thinking,
他們說的究竟是誰 "Who in the hell are they talking about?"
時間怎么過得那么快 Wow, just, where does the time go?
難以想象 This seems impossible.
37年 37 years.
37 37.
人生在世免不了會經歷挫折 There comes a time in a man's life,
不如意的時候就做做數學題 when it hurts to do the math.
我怕自己在這兒當慣了英雄 You know, I worry that I've been hero so long
到了別的地方會耐不住平凡 that I'll be lousy being any place else.
這種日子很快就會到來 Oh, well, I guess I'll find out very shortly.
感謝有美味的雞肉相款待 Um, hey, thanks for the chicken.
有點涼 但我... It was a little cold, but still I...
我走了都念著點我的好 Think nice thoughts about me when I'm gone,
如果可以的話 if you can.
不 他們在馬卡萊斯特實施了 No, they did it at Macalester.
我覺得在這兒同樣奏效 I really think it could work here.
聽著不錯 Well, it sounds great.
不如我們周一再說吧 I tell you, talk about it on Monday.
好的 Oh, sure.
晚安 杰西 Night, Jesse.
晚安 Yeah, good night.
想法不錯 It's a good idea, though.
餿主意 A terrible idea.
一塌糊涂 Oh, what a disaster.
不至于吧 挺好的 What, no, it was nice.

你是不是叫伊桑 Is your name Ethan?
不是 怎么了 No. Why?
你很像我認識的伊桑 You look like an Ethan to me.
我不叫伊桑 My name's not Ethan.
你要是叫伊桑 How cool would that have been if that was your name
而我又碰巧知道 這該有多酷 and I just, like, knew it?
你是這里的學生嗎 Are you a student here?
不是 不過謝謝你這么認為 Uh, no, but thank you for thinking that.
你呢 You?
不是 Nah, man.
我在這兒等一個朋友 I'm just here visiting a buddy of mine.
這兒也不失為消磨時間的好去處 對嗎 But it's not a bad place to kill a little time, huh?
我是內特 I'm Nat.
我是杰西 I'm Jesse.
你聽見音樂聲了嗎 伊桑 Do you hear that music, Ethan?
好像有慶祝會 It sounds like a celebration.
我建議我們學學福爾摩斯 I say we do a little Sherlocking,
看看聲音是哪兒來的 發生了什么 find out where it's coming from and what's going on.
-不要 -不許說不 - No. - Don't say no.
好運永遠不會垂青于那些說不的人 Fortune never smiles on those who say no.
人生如戲 Everybody get on the floor
躍躍欲試 Everybody wanna uh-uh-uh
人生如戲 Everybody get on the floor
躍躍欲試 Everybody wanna uh-uh-uh
本想請你杯啤酒的 但傻瓜才喝酒 I would get you a beer, but alcohol's for suckers, man.
好吧 Uh, yeah.
內特 我不太適合這兒 Listen, Nat, this isn't really my scene anymore.
我要... I'm gonna...
給自己五分鐘適應時間 哥們 Give yourself five minutes to adapt, my brother.
轉變絕非易事 Change is never easy.
跟我說說 Tell me this.
你對于麥田怪圈有何見解 What are your thoughts on crop circles?
沒什么見解 Uh, I don't have any.
有大事要發生 哥們 Some seriously weird shit going on, bro.
你真以為那是一幫英國醉漢 You think it's just a bunch of drunk English guys
用木板和繩子偽造的嗎 with planks and rope?
你上當了 You're a fool.
花點時間研究研究這些圖案 Spend some time with those patterns.
你能感覺到其中的玄機 You can feel it.
有些事物正在試圖與我們交流 Somethings trying to communicate with us.
這應該登上每日新聞的頭版頭條 It should be on the front page of every paper every day.

我覺得是你呢 I thought that was you,
-你好 -你怎么會在這兒 - Hi. - How'd you end up here?

抱歉 Sorry.
這是有史以來最好的書 I just, just the best book of all time.
我只是看看 I just like holding it, I guess.
有史以來最好的書 Best book of all time?
之一 Well, one of them, sure.
你有注意過 Have you ever noticed how everyone around here
周圍的人說話有多夸張嗎 speaks in wild hyperbole?
什么都是最好的 Everything's the best.
什么 他是最好的教授 Like, "He's the best professor ever,"
這是全世界最好吃的餡餅 or, "This is the best patty melt on the planet,"
說的跟他們見識過各種教授 as if they've sampled every possible variety
品嘗過各種餡餅一樣 of professor and patty melt,
而這根本不合邏輯 which is, as we know, logistically impossible.
好吧 Ok.
好吧 我們還來得及嗎 All right, do we have enough time for that?
-你好 -你好 - Hey. - Hey.
我是不是來的太晚了 Am I super late?
沒有 要喝咖啡嗎 Uh, no. You want a coffee?
不用了 喝你的就行 No, I'll just drink yours.
你還好嗎 You Okay?
我也不知道 I don't know yet.
我身上一股啤酒味兒 你聞到了嗎 I smell like beer. Do you smell that?
是有股味兒 Yeah, actually, you do.
我 失陪一下 I, I need to excuse myself just,
等一下 just for a...
剛才的事不好意思 Sorry about that. Back there.
你走以后 我一直在想 You walked away, and I was just wondering
有人跟我喜歡一樣的作家 why I was being rude to someone
我干嘛還跟人家發火 who loves the same writer I do.
我也說不出所以然 And I don't have an answer for that.
沒事 Ok.
好吧 Okay, so yeah, um,
我... I'll just...
我大四時成績一落千丈 My grades tanked senior year.
那本書陪我走過那一年 That book was the only thing I wanted to read.
你喜歡那本書嗎 You liking it?
當然 Uh, yeah.
實際上這是我第二次讀這本書了 It's my second time reading it, actually.
令人欽佩 That's impressive.
那書挺厚的 It's not short.
對啊 Yeah, I know.
他說科幻小說旨在 You know, he said the purpose of fiction
與孤獨抗爭 was to combat loneliness.
很好 That's good.
沒聽說過 I never heard that.
是啊 Yeah.
另外 Well, on the other hand,
花長時間泡在這樣大部頭的書里 spending most of your time with an 1,100-page book
會使你社交活動受到影響 tends to put a dent in your social life.
是啊 Yeah.
孤獨感此消彼長 Loneliness simultaneously increased and decreased.
你好 Hi.
你倆認識嗎 What, you guys know each other?
我倆第一學期一塊上數理邏輯課 Yeah, we had Symbolic Logic first semester.
我叫姿碧 Zibby.
我叫迪恩 你好 Right. Dean, hi.
-你好 -我叫杰西 - Hey. - I'm Jesse, by the way.
再見 Ok.
有趣的家伙 Interesting guy.
是啊 Yeah.
他又回來了 真不可置信 I can't believe he's even back here.
為什么這樣說 Why? What do you mean?
去年他狂躁癥發作 He had a manic episode last year.
學校把他送醫院了 Eventually, they took him to a hospital,
不知道怎么讓他鎮靜下來的 and, I don't know, calmed him down, I guess.
他也許是這里有史以來最有才華的人 He's supposed to be, like, the smartest guy ever.
你怎么了 Everything okay?
很好啊 Yeah, everything's great.
我剛吐了 I puked.
有點惡心 That's gross.
抱歉 不該跟你說這 Sorry, you did not need to hear that.
去散步吧 Come on, let's... let's walk.
我爸媽很喜歡你 My parents really liked you.
很好啊 Oh. Nice.
我也喜歡他們 I like them.
你真幸運能有這樣的父母 You're really lucky to have parents like that.
哪樣的父母 Like what?
我也說不清 Like, I don't know.
首先 Around, first of all.
他們那么和睦是因為你是他們的心肝寶貝 Still together so they can fret over you as a team.
我覺得也是 Yeah, I guess.
他們要是不擺出父母的架子就好了 I like them best when they're not being so parental,
不過那只有1%的概率 which is, like, 1% of the time.
于是我想了個好辦法 Oh, I thought of this great trick
能減少他們給我的痛苦 for having them annoy me less.
-想知道嗎 -想 - Want to hear it? - Okay.
我把他們想象成 Okay, I decided to treat my parents
老是喝醉的醉漢 like they're always drunk.
很管用的 No, really, it works.
他們一訓我 Any time they say something irritating or offensive,
我就對自己說 不能生氣 I'm just like, "Oh, I can't get mad at them.
他們喝醉了 不是他們的錯 They're drunk. It's not their fault."
難道我要把醉漢的話當真嗎 And why should I take advice from drunk people seriously?
不錯 That's great.
你喜歡古典音樂嗎 Do you like classical music?
喜歡 Yeah, sure.
去年我上了音樂鑒賞課 Okay, I took this music survey class last year.
天哪 Oh, my God!
它完全改變了我的人生 It totally changed my life.
昨晚偶遇你 真好 I'm really happy I ran into you last night.
我也這樣覺得 Yeah, yeah, me too.
好巧 It's random.
那個家伙是誰 Who was that guy?
哪個 What guy?
昨晚那個 The last night, that guy.
他叫艾瑞克 Oh, his name is Eric.
艾瑞克 Eric.
他是你男朋友嗎 Is Eric your fella?
不是 No.
我幾乎愛這里的一切 You know, I think I like almost everything about this place,
但是 那些花花公子的作風 but the dude situation.
不好嗎 Not great?
男女關系 No one, like, dates.
隨隨便便 So casual about it all.
和我在的時候一樣啊 Same as when I was here.
是啊 Yeah.
我骨子里還是有些保守的 I guess there's part of me that's a little old fashioned.
那么 我代表所有 Well, on behalf
18到22歲的往屆生 在校生 of all current and former 18 to 22 year-olds,
給你道歉 I'd like to apologize.
寬恕我們吧 Forgive us.
誠摯的歉意 Seriously.
我們不知道自己在做什么 We know not what we do.
我覺得 I think one of the things
我最喜歡的是 I loved the most about being here
在這里能感覺到 一切皆有可能 was the feeling that anything was possible.
有無數種將來擺在你面前 It's just infinite choices ahead of you.
跨出校門 你可以成就一切 You'd get out of school, and anything could happen.
而當你真正跨出來的時候 And then you do get out, and...
現實就會向你襲來 明白嗎 life happens, you know?
必須做出抉擇 Decisions get made.
當初擺在面前的千萬種將來 And then all those many choices you had in front of you
不過是幻影 are no longer really there.
但是你必須前行 At a certain point, you just got to go,
現實大概就是這樣的吧 "Oh, I guess this is how it going down."
讓人有些沮喪 And there's just something a little depressing about that.
你不覺得你太理想化了嗎 Well, don't you think you're romanticizing youth a bit much?
我想 年輕會有年輕的苦惱 You know, 'cause it's just as hard and annoying
年老也會有年老的苦惱 to be young and as to be old, I'm assuming.
我不是說你老了 你一點兒都不老 Not that you're old, 'cause, you know, you're not.
比如 我認為 人人平等 Look, I get the whole "we're all equal" agument,
并不是絕對的 and it's kind of true, but it's also kind of not true.
我現在的看法和當年在這讀書時的不一樣 Like, okay, I feel different now than I felt when I was here,
我不想點破 但終有一天你會明白 and I hate to break this to you, but so will you.
你的意思是 現實是黑暗的 So you're saying things suck?
我必須做好接受黑暗現實的準備 是嗎 I should prepare myself for suckiness?
不是 人文課程將幫你解決困擾 No, a liberal arts education solves all your problems.
謝天謝地 Thank God!
人文課程很有意義 Worth every penny.

抱歉 我不想耽擱你 Sorry, I don't want to hold you up or anything,

我給你做了這個 I made this for you.
刻錄的 Burned it, whatever,
這是我之前跟你說的 Um, it's music from the survey class
音樂鑒賞課上的樂曲 I was telling you about.
古典的 巴洛克的 歌劇的 Classical, baroque, opera.
太棒了 This is great.
我一個都沒聽過 I know none of this.
誰說我們必須 Who says we always have to be listening
聽那些獨立樂隊晦澀的作品 是吧 to obscure indie bands, right?
對啊 Right.
怎么說呢 So, yeah, I don't know.
我從未想過我會喜歡這些音樂 This is all music I never thought I'd like or care about,
但是這個課程 and this class just...
你知道的 有些東西你被灌輸了很多遍 well, you know how you can be told something so many times
然后 and it's like, whatever,
你遇到了個很好的老師 and then you have a great teacher
帶你暢游這個世界 take you through it,
然后頓悟 貝多芬 這么好聽 and suddenly it's like, "Beethoven, whoa."
是啊 Yeah.
真的很棒 謝謝你 This is really great. Thank you.
我也該送你點什么 I wish I had come with something for you.
知道你可以送點什么嗎 Well, you know what you could do?
你可以給我寫封信 You could write me a letter.

我是說手寫 Handwritten, I mean,
用鋼筆 like with a pen or something.
紙質的 Yeah, paper.
用紅蠟封好 Maybe seal it with some red wax.
我可以一邊聽一邊給你寫信 I could listen to this while I'm writing.
肯定會是封17世紀風格的信 Right, it'll be like full on 17th century.
是啊 是啊 Right, right.
我還沒有你的地址 So, I don't have your address.
我的郵箱號碼是108 Oh, 108 is my P.O. Box.

費爾菲德教授 Professor Fairfield.
我是杰西·費歇爾 Uh, Jesse Fisher.
我 I,
我以前在這讀書時 I took your British Romantic literature class
上過您的英國浪漫主義文學課 when I was here as a student.
然后呢 And?
我很喜歡 And I loved it.
很好 Great.
迪恩 Hey, Dean.
我知道吸煙有害健康 I know it's bad for you.
在畢業時戒掉吧 Just quit when you graduate, like everyone else.
車不錯啊 Sweet ride.
混小子 You jerk.
是租的 It's a rental.
我不太擅長駕駛 I'm not the best at flying.
了解 I can understand that.
你去哪 Where you headed?
回宿舍 Back to my dorm.
上來 捎你一程 Get in. I'll give you a lift.
你在這里上的大學 是嗎 So you went here, right?
是的 I did.
喜歡這里嗎 You liked it?
非常喜歡 A lot.
但要剔除那些不好的回憶 I mean, you block out the bad memories,
比如二月寫畢業論文 writing a senior thesis, February.
是啊 這里的二月很不好過 Yeah, February here sucks.
很可怕 Yeah, it's horrible.
對你來說 除了二月 其他都還好嗎 So other than February, things are good for you here?
不好說 I wouldn't say that.
如果愿意的話 可以跟我說 You want to... you can tell me about it if you want.
也不是個秘密 Well, it's not exactly a secret.
去年 Last year,
我有點精神失常 I kind of, lost my mind a bit.
我記不太清了 I don't really remember much of it,
反正做了些古怪的事 but apparently I got up to some pretty amusing antics.
所以現在他們讓我看這種大部頭的書 So now they've got me on this pretty heavy stuff,
我想是讓我回歸正常生活吧 which I guess allows me to function,
不過也使我很壓抑 but it also makes everything seem underwater,
并不是聽起來的那么好 which is not an pleasant as it sounds.
你為什么選擇回來 Why'd you come back?
我媽媽是護士 My mom is a nurse.
她獨自撫養我長大 She raised me on her own.
她為我付出一切 I got a full ride.
她... She's...
兒子能上大學 她很驕傲 so proud I'm here.
謝謝 Thanks for the lift.
親愛的姿碧 不知道該怎樣感謝你 Dear Zibby, I can't thank you enough
把這么好的音樂介紹給我 for introducing me to this music.
我真心喜歡這些音樂 Beyond just genuinely loving it,
它潛移默化地改變了我對紐約的看法 I feel it's quietly altering my feeling about New York City,
曾經我對紐約 With which I've always had
有些抵觸 a slightly conflicted relationship.
假如用舒伯特和塔勒曼的音樂 I've found that if you replace the horns and the shouting
代替了城市中的喧囂 with, say, Schubert or Telemann,
紐約會變得無比美麗 the city becomes unbearably beautiful.
壓抑了多年的憤怒 After years of thinly disguised rage on both our parts,
被音樂化解 it's like the music has mediated a truce between us.
一些早先的愛好 Some early favorites.
比如馬斯奈特的《冥想曲》 Massenets's Meditation.
還有什么音樂比這更美 If a more beautiful piece of music has ever been composed,
我不知道 I don't know it.
《勃蘭登堡協奏曲》是驚人的杰作 That Brandenburg concerto is no joke,
關于你對貝多芬的感想 我也有同感 and I echo your sentiment regarding Beethoven.
我不知道 I have no idea
維瓦爾第想在《朱斯蒂諾》里表達什么 what the Vivaldi piece from Giustino is actually about,
但在我看來 是欺騙 but to me, it suggests deception,
一種優雅的欺騙 some kind of elegant double-crossing.
我覺得自己就是個雙料間諜 It makes me feel like I'm a double agent
沉溺在偵查行動中 knee deep in some kind of sexy espionage.
所以我覺得瓦格納作品的序幕 I've decided the Wagner overture you included
應該加上警示標記 should come with a warning label.
根據一些網絡研究 According to some quick online research,
17世紀歌劇的題材多為講述 the opera deals with the struggle
宗教與世俗的愛情斗爭 between sacred and profane love,
那是當時唯一存在的沖突 which is arguably the only struggle there is.
一天 我在過馬路 The other day, I was crossing the street,
腦子里在走神 lost in my head about something,
想些最普通不過的事情 a not uncommon state of affairs.
當時正聽著前奏 I was listening to the overture,
隨著音樂的展開 and as the music began to swell,
我突然意識到 I suddenly realized
我有手有腳有身體 that I had hands and legs and a torso
置身于人群和車輛之中 and that I was surrounded by people and cars.
很難解釋當時發生了什么 It's hard to explain exactly what happened.
那一刻我感覺到 神明 But I felt in that moment that the divine,
如何定義都沒關系 however we may choose to define such a thing,
真切存在于高樓大廈和車水馬龍中 surely dwells as much in the concrete and taxicabs
一如它存在于河流 湖泊 高山中 as it does in the rivers, lakes, and mountains.
優雅 與時間無關 與空間無涉 Grace, I realized, is neither time nor place dependent.
所需的只是一首曲調 All we need is the right soundtrack.
我覺得 音樂給我的 I suppose this new infusion of music in my life is,
至少是讓我重新思考 at the very least, making me reconsider
急速奔赴死亡的意義 my hastily to dead, white males.
這些都該感謝你 And I've you to thank for that.
你近況如何 How's things, by the way?
你的朋友 杰西·費歇爾 Your friend, Jesse Fisher.
杰西 一切都好 Jesse, things is good,
很高興你喜歡這些音樂 so happy you're loving the music.
當我學習這門課程的時候 I felt my whole life got an upgrade
覺得自己的人生達到了一個新的高度 when I took that class.
最讓我不可思議的是 The thing that floors me most
這些偉大的音樂是人類寫出來的 is that human beings wrote that music.
現在的人們還在寫這樣的音樂嗎 Are people writing music like that nowadays?
我從沒有見過 If they are, I don't know about it.
我希望你能喜歡 I hope you've fallen in love with the piece
莫扎特的《女人心》選段 from Cosi fan tutte.
當我聽這段時 不知為何 I find that when I listen to it, for some reason,
覺得周圍的人們突然變得可愛起來 everyone I see becomes instantly more attractive.
請你聽一下 然后談談你的感受 Please experiment with it and get back to me.
伊麗莎白 我和你有同感 Elizabeth, you were right about the Mozart piece.
聽著這段 我感覺 紐約像是個 It somehow made everyone in New York look like
充滿活力的浪漫的伙伴 a viable romantic partner.
我被俘虜了 I can't escape it any longer.
我愛上了歌劇 I think I like opera.
千萬別告訴別人哦 You are never to tell anyone this, ever.
一定別說哦 Seriously.
你的秘密在我這很安全 Your opera secret is safe with me.
每次收到你的信 I've been relistening to the music
我都要重新聽一遍音樂 after each of your letters.
我喜歡邊看你的隨想邊重新品味 I like hearing your take and then revisiting them.
即便是隔著賓夕法尼亞 And even though Pennsylvania stands between us,
知道我們聽著同樣的音樂 knowing we're hearing the same sounds
你也并不遙遠 makes me feel you are not all that far away.
其實我想說 我想你了 If I haven't been clear about this, I miss you.
不知道為什么 Hmm, don't really know why.
我對你知之甚少 I barely know you.
另外 手寫信 By the way, handwritten letters,
世界上最棒的東西 greatest thing in the world.
不要間斷 Keep them coming.
你問為什么今天的人寫不出這樣的音樂 You asked why music like this isn't being written today.
我覺得 這些作曲家用音樂表達的東西 I wonder if these composers were expressing things musically
對現代人的精神狀態來說太宏大 that are too large for our current psychic state.
一切都還好 Anyway, all is fine here.
大學生活一成不變 College continues colleging along...
比如馬斯奈特的《冥想曲》 Massenet's Meditation, for instance,
我擔心我的神經系統 and I worry that my nervous system
無法承受這么多的感情 is ill-equipped to contain such immensity of feeling.
我敢打賭 如果我們是同學 I bet if we went here at the same time,
一定會成好朋友 we'd have been great friends.
要讓我死在音樂里嗎 Will this music be the death of me?
如果我死了 那兇手就是你 If so, you'll have blood on your hands, Elizabeth.
你怎么辦 Can you deal with that?"
杰西 我很喜歡這些信 Jesse, as much as I love these letters,
還想再見你 I'd like to see you again.
越快越好 The sooner, the better.
回來看我吧 So come back here and see me.
這里的男孩們還是18到22歲 The dudes here continue to be 18 to 22 years old,
他們還是那么幼稚 and they continue to act their age,
我期盼紳士來臨 I'd like a gentleman caller,
希望那個紳士就是你 and I'd like him to be you.
你永遠的姿碧 Ever yours, Zibby.
親愛的伊麗莎白 我決定接受邀請 Dear Elizabeth, I've decided to take you up on your offer.
我14號到 住在旅館里 I'll be getting in on the 14th and staying at the inn,
我們可以一起走街串巷 but I will be available for walks, strolls, saunters
閑逛 遛彎 ambles, and promenades.
期待與你見面 Looking forward to it.
杰西·費歇爾 Jesse Fisher.
鮑勃 So, Bob,
最近我思考了很多 I've been asking myself a lot of tough questions lately.
大家都覺得我不該現在退休 Everybody knows I made a whole stink
你知道 時間如此... about leaving this place, you know, how it's time...
但是你不能回頭 How if you'd look back,
否則你會變成鹽柱 you'd turn into a pillar of salt.
是的 不過 Yeah, all that.
我覺得自己言之過早 I think I may have spoken too soon.
我還有余熱沒有發揮出來 I think... I think I still got a little gas in the tank is all.
我 I just...
在這所大學 我是你最忠實的粉絲 Well, Peter, you have no bigger fan around here than me.
謝謝 Thank you.
當你想要退休時 我們都為你惋惜 When you announced your plans, we were all sad to see you go,
但你退意堅決 but you insisted that it was time.
對 當時是挺堅決 Right, which I thought it was.
我們又請了一位新老師 We hired someone,
畢業于弗吉尼亞大學的年輕教師 young guy out of UVA.
非常優秀 Very impressive candidate.
說真的 他是我們的首選 He was our first choice, actually.
本以為他會拒絕我們 但他沒有 We didn't think we would get him, but we did.
你說你不參與招新老師 You said you wanted nothing to do with the search.
當時是這樣 Right, right. No, I...
但是 I just...
沒想到事情變化這么快 I just didn't think it would move so fast.
大家都非常歡迎這位新老師 Well, there was unanimous enthusiasm for the candidate,
所以事情很快就定下來了 so things just moved along faster than normal.
鮑勃 Bob.
再給我一次機會吧 Give me this one,
彼得 不行 Peter, we can't.
為了聘請他 The department has spent thousands of dollars
我們花了好幾千塊 on this search.
他也拒絕了其他工作機會 He's turned down other offers.
你應該很清楚這種事的 You know what goes into this sort of thing.
當年是我聘用了你 I hired you, Bob.
不用你教育我 You don't have to tell me how this work.
我來告訴你 And let me tell you,
當年根本沒人歡迎你 there was not unanimous enthusiasm for you back then.
為了讓別人接受你 It took a lot of arm-twisting on my part
我費了好大勁 to get people to come around.
20年后的今天 你能坐上系主任的位子 And now, 20 years later, the only reason
惟一的原因就是 that you're the chairman of this goddamn department
我不喜歡耍花招 is 'cause I loathe politics!
但是 你卻得益于搞陰謀 And you, for reasons which I cannot fathom, do not.
對搞陰謀 你樂此不疲 In fact, you seem to have a real taste for it.
我請求 I'm asking...
請成全我 I'm asking a favor.
只成全我這一次就行 好不好 Listen. Just give me this one, Bob, okay?
再給我三年時間 I need three more years.
很抱歉 I'm sorry.
我無能為力 There's nothing I can do.
杰西 還記得瓦內薩嗎 Jesse, you remember Vanessa, right?
你回來了 You're back.
是啊 Yeah.
我 So I should...
我有點事兒 uh, yeah, I got some stuff to do.
這是你的房間吧 So this is your room.
不錯吧 Yeah. Fancy, huh?
不錯 Yeah.
都忘了宿舍有多小了 Forgot how small these are.
到以后搬到紐約也不會覺得不適應了 Good training for living in New York.
你打算去見一下霍貝格教授嗎 So are you gonna see Professor Hoberg while you're here?
不去了 You know, probably not
你見了他也別提我 and, you know, if you... if you run into him,
別說我來這找你 maybe don't mention that I'm here.
行 Ok.
你要坐下聊嗎 Do you want to sit?
好的 當然 當然 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
我想告訴你 So I should tell you,
我來這感覺有點怪 I feel a little weird about being here.
為什么 別這么想 Why? Don't.
不知你是否知道 I don't know if you know this,
我比你大幾歲 but, I'm a few years older than you.
真的嗎 You are?
也沒大多少歲 Just a few, yeah,
我不是想欲蓋彌彰 and I'm not necessarily saying...
只是不想進展太快 I don't want to get ahead of myself here.
只不過是 It's just...
等等 你不會是 Wait. Are you...
你不會覺得我要對你示愛吧 Did you think this was, like, a romantic thing?
我開玩笑的 Just kidding.
我的天啊 Oh,my...
坐這里來 Come here.
你別想太多 好嗎 Try not to overthink things, okay?
我沒有別的想法 You're talking to the wrong guy.
聽我說 Look,
我們很投緣 是吧 we connect really well, don't you think?
沒錯 We do, yeah.
我只是想不明白 是因為你太新潮 I just can't figure out if it's because you're advanced
還是因為我太遲鈍 or because I'm stunted.
因為我太新潮 It's because I'm advanced.
也許吧 Maybe.
但我也有點遲鈍 But I'm also a little stunted.
我想要慢慢來 好嗎 Look, I want to take things slowly, okay?
好的 Yeah, okay.
我也是這么想的 Me too. Me too.
但我想親吻你 But I would like to kiss you
親額頭 on your forehead.
我能親親你的額頭嗎 Can I kiss you on your forehead?
說 好 Say yes.
好 Yes.
還有你的下巴 And your chin.
能親親你的下巴嗎 May I kiss your chin?
抱歉 抱歉 Sorry. Hi, sorry.
我忘拿東西了 Just need to grab something.
豬一樣的室友 Roommates.
你餓了嗎 去吃飯嗎 Can we... are you hungry?
也好 I could eat.
行嗎 Yeah?
要不我們進城去吃點東西 Maybe we could go into town and grab something?
時間來不及 That'll take too long.
我兩點鐘還有課 I have class at 2:00.
這樣啊 Oh.
但我可以帶你去個又近又好吃的地方 But I know place that's good and even closer.
迪恩 Dean.
你在這里工作嗎 You get a job here?
我倒是想 I wish.
我跟朋友走散了 I seem to have lost my friend.
我能跟你... You mind if I...
你忙著寫什么呢 What are you working on?
在寫 Yeah, it's this...
小說 novel.
真棒 Good for you.
還行吧 Yes.
你喜歡寫小說嗎 You happy with it?
不喜歡 Not really.
最近怎么樣 好些了嗎 How've you been? Any better?
沒有 No.
我有點希望這一切 I kind of just wish this would all be over
盡快結束 as soon as possible.
你為什么這么喜歡這里 Why did you love it here so much!
知道嗎 這樣的美妙時光 人生中僅此一次 It's the only time you get to do this, you know?
你可以坐下讀一整天書 You get to sit around and read books all day,
可以隨意高談闊論 have really great conversations about ideas.
進入社會后 不可能有這樣的機會 People out in the world, they're not really doing that.
想想看啊 你就算在這里可以站起來亂喊 Think about it. You could go up to everyone here and say,
"我是個詩人" 也不會挨揍 "I'm a poet," and no one will punch you in the face.
這很不容易 I mean, that's something.
是啊 Yeah.
我明白你的意思 I get that.
我只是不能接受現狀 I just can't get around the fact
我在這里極度郁悶 that I'm, like, aggressively unhappy here.
杰西 Jesse.
杰西 Jesse!
這是我的電話 有需要時打給我 That's my number, if you ever want to talk.
這書肯定是瓦內薩的吧 Please tell me this is Vanessa's.
不 是我的 Nope, that's mine.
你真的會讀這種書嗎 Wait, you actually read this?
是啊 Yeah.
全都讀過 All of it?
是的 Yup.
你不是說反話吧 Unironically?
誠心誠意 Very sincerely.
你們女生怎么都癡迷吸血鬼呢 What is it with you girls and vampires?
這書講什么的 What's it about?
吸血鬼 Vampires.
不 我問的是內容 No, what's it about?
吸血鬼 Vampires.
我不太理解 這書寫得好嗎 I don't understand. Is it good?
不好 No.
寫得還可以 但沒那么好 I mean, yeah. But no.
那你為什么還讀 Then why read it?
因為我喜歡 'Cause I like it.
這不能當做讀書的理由 That's no reason to read something.
你為什么不看點別的書 Why else would you read something?
我是認真的 Seriously.
世界上那么多優秀的書籍 Many amazing books in the world.
你為什么非要讀這些 Why would you read this?
好了 我不想和你吵架 Okay, I hate this conversation.
咱們別爭論了行嗎 Can we stop?
等等 這是三部曲對吧 Wait, this is a trilogy, right?
我不想作答 I'm afraid to answer that.
這三本你都看了嗎 You've read three of these?
你讀過這種書嗎 Have you ever read one of them?
你覺得呢 What do you think?
你都沒讀過 何來討厭之說 How can you hate something if you've never read it?
你不能搞獨裁專制 I mean, isn't that like what repressive regimes do?
難道你要把不喜歡的書都燒掉嗎 You want to burn books you don't like?
你說的對 知道我要怎么做嗎 You're right. You know what I'm gonna do?
我要把這些書都讀完 I'm gonna read the book, all of it,
然后再來跟你討論 and then we can discuss it.
-現在嗎 -是啊 - Right now? - Yeah, why not?
讀這點東西還能要多久 I mean, how long can it take, really?
好極了 也算個小型書友會 This is great, a little book club.
你是認真的嗎 Seriously?
是的 Yup.
回頭見 See ya soon.
不 不是您想的那樣 No, this isn't what it...
讀這種書 是個挑戰 I'm reading it as a dare.
其實是為了和人打賭 It's a bet, actually.
我喜歡上你的課 I loved your class!
我先說嗎 Should I start?
請講 Please.
好吧 Ok.
我喜歡這故事 I liked it.
很有意思 有點傻氣 It was fun and stupid.
易于消磨時間 And it passed the time.
并非托爾斯泰似的名作 但也不像泡沫劇 And it's not Tolstoy, but it's also not television.
讓我讀得很開心 And it made me happy.
到你了 Now you.
謝謝 Thank you.
這是 This...
英文小說中 is the worst book
寫得 ever written
最差的一本 in English.
這么說其他語種的小說還有比這更差的 So there are worse books written in other languages?
不太可能 Probably not.
除非這本書被翻譯成其他語言 Unless this book is translated into other languages.
好了 我們實在是 Okay, we really
我們沒必要這樣做 we don't need to do this.
不 請你認真點 No, please, let's.
我想知道這些所謂的句子 I need to know how you read these...
你是怎么讀進去的 I guess you call them sentences...
掩卷深思 除了為文字被褻瀆 close the book, and feel anything
而感到氣憤悲傷外 別無他感 other than offended and sad?
幾百萬人都喜歡看 Millions of people like it.
幾百萬人都喜歡的東西 So when millions of people like something,
就說明一定是精品嗎 that means it's good?
不 只是說明幾百萬人都喜歡 No, it means millions of people like it.
這種書讓人們感到快樂 These books make people happy.
讀書不必總考慮政治學 或者是否 We don't always have to be thinking about poli-sci
是喬叟的作品 而且我討厭喬叟 or reading Chaucer, which, by the way, I hated.
你不該喜歡這種書 You're not supposed to like it.
那你為什么還要讀 But then why read it?
你不是特別喜歡大學氛圍嗎 You love college so much, right?
應該懂得兼容并包 不是嗎 Isn't it all about understanding different points of view?
也要學會提升品位 It's also about developing taste.
你太勢力了 你個勢利小人 That was snobby. You're a snob.
不 我不是 No, I'm not.
你就是 Yeah, you are.
你覺得批判事物讓自己顯得很酷 You think it's cool to hate things.
但并非如此 你很無聊 And it's not. It's boring.
談論你喜歡的事物 Talk about what you love,
別對你討厭的事物指手畫腳 and keep quiet about what you don't.
我知道你聽了不舒服 但相信我 Look, I know how this sounds, but trust me.
這件事很重要 This is a big deal, okay?
現在世風日下 This country is in bad shape,
我覺得很大程度上是由 and it has to do, in large part, I think,
人們的低級趣味導致的 with people liking things that are very, very bad.
但就算像你說的那樣 But according to you,
是好是壞為什么由你說了算 why are you the one who gets to decide what's good and bad?
或者你不過是想把你周圍的人 And do you only want to surround yourself
都改造得同你品味一致 with people who've read the same books as you?
我覺得要用具體例子來說明 I guess we're gonna have to move on to a specific example...
你心在何處 Where are you?
什么意思 What do you mean?
你的心在別處 I mean, you are somewhere,
但不在此 but it's not here.
不 我的心就在這里 No, I'm... I'm here.
那我們為什么還要為一本書爭論 So why are we spending all our time
平白浪費大好時光 having a stupid argument about a book?
彼得 Peter.
姿碧 Zibby.
彼得 Peter.
你來這里干什么 What the hell are you doing here?
我也不知道 I don't know.
你知道我多大了嗎 You know how old I am?
不知道 你多大了 No, how old are you?
不關你的事 None of your goddamn business.
你知道我覺得自己多大嗎 Do you know how old I feel like I am?
19歲 19.
從我19歲起 我心里就沒再長過歲數 Since I was 19, I have never felt not 19.
但我刮完臉后 看向鏡中 But I shave my face, and I look in the mirror,
我不得不承認 and I'm forced to say,
鏡中人絕對不是19歲 "This is not a 19-year-old staring back at me,"
在這里教了這么多年書 Teaching here all these years,
雖然我置身19歲的年輕人中間 I've had to be very clear with myself
盡管我覺得自己19歲 that even though I'm surrounded by 19-year-old
我也清楚地知道 and I may have felt 19,
我再也不能回到19歲了 I'm not 19 anymore.
你懂我的意思嗎 You follow me?
明白 Yeah.
沒人喜歡當成年人 Nobody feels like an adult.
這是人們骯臟的秘密 It's the world's dirty secret.
世界有多么美妙 How perfect is the universe?
你還在這里 You're still here?
算你走運 Lucky for you,
你看起來需要朋友安慰 'cause you look like you could use a friend.
你知道嗎 我們吃的食物里含有過多防腐劑 Did you know there's so many preservatives in the food we eat
研究表明 我們死亡后 這些防腐劑 that they're finding it's taking longer
使得身體不易腐壞 for our bodies to decompose once we die?
不可能 真的嗎 No way. Really?
防腐劑 全都亂套了 Preservatives, man. Messed up.
想聽好消息嗎 Want some good news?
說吧 Please.
-毛毛蟲 -給我帽子 - Caterpillars - Give me my hat.
它們都在等待時機 They're just scouting along, right,
變成蝴蝶 being caterpillars.
某個時候 這些成蟲細胞出現 At some point, these cells show up called imaginal cells.
科學家不知道它們有何而來 Scientists don't know where they come from
或為何出現 or why they appear,
但這些成蟲細胞在毛毛蟲體內出現 but these imaginal cells show up inside the caterpillar
說 加油啊 毛毛蟲 and say, "Get psyched, caterpillar!
是時候變成蝴蝶了 It's butterfly-turning-into time."
當這些成蟲細胞出現時 And what do all the other caterpillar cells do
其他的毛毛蟲細胞在做什么 when these imaginal cells show up?
我不知道 I have no idea.
它們會進行攻擊 They attack 'em!
想殺死成蟲細胞 Try to kill 'em!
它們會說 見鬼去吧 成蟲細胞 They're like, Screw you, imaginal cells.
我們就愿意做一只 毛毛蟲 We're happy being a caterpillar.
給我滾出去 Get lost!
但是 成蟲細胞會不斷壯大 But,eventually, the imaginal cells keep growing
并且最終掌握毛毛蟲的命運走向 and overtake the destiny of the caterpillar
讓它結繭 and will it into this cocoon.
你猜接下來會發生什么 And then guess what happens next.
毛毛蟲變成蝴蝶 The caterpillar turns into a butterfly.
棒極了 That's awesome.
就知道你會喜歡 I know it is!
是啊 說得真好 Yeah, that's good.
所以沒什么好擔心的 And that is why there is no reason to be afraid,
因為一切都會好起來的 because everything is okay.
是啊 我不知道自己是否相信這話 Yeah, I don't know if I believe that.
一定是這樣 It has to be true.
不會有別的可能 There can be no other way.
我都不敢肯定你是不是真人 You know, I'm not even sure if you're real.

實在令人很煩心以外 which was genuinely super annoying,
我真的很喜歡你 I... I feel really good about you.

我喜歡這感覺 And I like it.
我也一樣 Yeah, me too.
我想讓你今晚留下來陪我 I want you to stay here with me tonight.
你室友還得回來呢 You have a roommate.

還好你跟我說了 I'm... I'm glad you did.
有什么問題嗎 So is that a problem?
是的 Yeah, it is.
為什么 Why?
好吧 首先 我已經35歲了 Okay, first of all, I'm 35.
-你看起來不像 -謝謝夸獎 - You don't look it - Thank you.
而且 我不介意 Plus, it doesn't bother me.
但我介意 It bothers me.
你不該介意 It shouldn't.
糾結年齡是愚蠢的 Age is a stupid thing to obsess over.
如果轉世輪回是真的呢 What if reincarnation is real?
想想看 Think about that.
如果我比你老一千歲呢 What if I'm, like, thousands of years older than you?
你這理論不成立 Okay, that's not really a sound argument.
-為什么 -因為這就好像在說 - Why not? - Because it's like saying,
如果現實都是虛幻呢 "What if reality is all an illusion?"
一切都毫無因果 Then there are no consequences to anything.
我們徹底脫離困境 We're completely off the hook,
我是相信因果之說的 and I believe in consequences.
不 你是覺得會內疚 No, you believe in guilt.
也許 Maybe.
但在犯錯之前感到內疚 But guilt before we act
被稱為有道德感 is called morality.
你為什么回來 Why did you come back here?
為了見你 但我不知道你 To see you, but I didn't know that you...
這有什么關系 Why should that matter!
我不明白 你不是一直在和我曖昧嗎 I mean, isn't it, I don't know, flattering?
聽我說 Listen.
伊麗莎白 Elizabeth.

什么處女協定 when I was in high school, okay?
我不是那種假正經的女人 I'm not a prude or whatever.
只不過 我從未遇到一個人 Just, I never met anyone that I trusted
讓我足夠信任和喜歡 or even liked enough,
直到遇見你 until now.
我做不到 I can't.
我的魅力不足以吸引你嗎 Are you not attracted to me?
不 我被你吸引 No. I mean, yeah, I am.
只不過 It's just.
但我還要為你的將來考慮 I also care about you a lot already, somehow.
所以 歸根到底 So, essentially,
你不想和我睡 是因為 you don't want to sleep with me
你太過喜歡和尊重我 because you like and respect me too much.
基本上 Basically.
是這樣 Yeah.
這真是天底下最可悲的事 That's, like, the saddest thing over.
我想參與你的生活 Look, I want to be in your life.

效果非常好 至少我這么認為 And it's going very well, if I do say so myself.
當我說到英文史上最偉大的詩歌之一 And as I reach the immortal final lines
談到那不朽的最后一句時 of one of the great poems ever written in English,
我聽到自己說了如下的話 I hear myself say the following:
"美是酷 酷也是美" "Beauth is trudy, trudy beauth."
"這就是你知道 和你需要知道的一切" "That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need know."
妙極了 That is great.
真精彩 Great story.
您何時開始喜歡浪漫主義作家的 When did you fall for the Romantics?
是不是 我只是好奇 Was it, like... I'm just curious,
是在大學還是研究生時期 but was it in college or grad school?
因為在上您的課之前 我對這些作家 'Cause I knew almost nothing about those guys
一無所知 before your class.
您的課 Your class.
真令我敬佩 I can gush, right?
至今我仍記憶猶新 I mean, I still think about it.
就像是 It's just...
怎么了 What?
你有滿腔熱情 You're very enthusiastic.
也許是吧 I guess.
我有輛車 I have a car.

但是 能讓我喘口氣嗎 but could I...could I at least catch my breath?
當然 Sure.
你需要多久 How long do you think that'll be?
-怎么了 -沒什么 沒什么 - What? - No, no.
我只是突然覺得很好笑 It's just funny to me all of a sudden.
有什么好笑的 What about it is amusing to you?
比如做愛之后抽煙 我覺得很好笑 Your post-coital cigarette, for one, is amusing to me.
什么 你不抽煙嗎 What, you never smoked?
-我抽過 -但是你戒了 - No, I did. - But you quit.
-是啊 -娘娘腔 - Yeah. - Pussy.
你還是那個給我上 Okay, you are the same Judith Fairfield
英國浪漫主義文學的朱迪斯 ·費爾菲德嗎 I took British Romantic literature from?
是教我英國浪漫主義文學的那個 "From whom I took British Romantic literature,"

但是別以為我們剛剛纏綿過 But just because we screwed,
我們就突然成了 don't assume we're suddenly
現在你們年輕人是怎么說來著 what is it you kids say nowadays?
永遠的好朋友 BFFs?

我是說 我們彼此了解什么呢 I mean, what do we really know about each other?
你不抽煙 恭喜你 You're a nonsmoker. Congratulations.
你可以活到一百歲 You're going to live to be a hundred.
但是索然無趣的生活 有什么意義呢 But what does it matter if your life is joyless?
一定會很無趣的 相信我 And it will be. Trust me.
現在到底是怎么了 What's happening here?
你 穿好衣服離開這里 You're gelling your clothes and you're leaving,
我要吃一片安必恩 and I'm going to take an Ambien.
不 我的意思是 No, I meant, what is hap...
我是說真的 I mean, seriously.
你不會以為我們要相擁度過這一夜 You weren't thinking we were gonna cuddle
然后我給你讀華茲華斯的詩吧 the rest of the night as I read you Wordsworth?
不會再這么想了 Not anymore.
很好 Good.
我在這個學校教了二十書了 I've taught at this school for over 20 years.
我見多了你這樣的 像傳染病一樣 I've seen the emergence of your kind like an infection...
大多沒有活力 故作老成 all these effete, overarticulate man-boys
從來學不會堅強 who never learned to toughen up.
別跟他們一樣 Don't be one of them,
要自食其力 go work with your hands.
有所作為 Build something.
打敗其他人 Punch someone in the face.
可惜諾曼·梅勒死得早 Too bad Norman Mailer's dead,
你們真是絕配 would have been perfect for each other.
要我數到十嗎 Shall I count to ten?
等等 Wail, just, can
再等一下好嗎 hold on just one second, okay?
你看起來并不快樂 You don't seem very happy.
你的推理能力很強 Your powers of deduction are stunning.
你應該去一個更好的大學 You must have gone to a very good college.
我只是很疑惑 I'm just confused how...
我是說 你這樣一位終身教授 I mean, you're a tenured professor
在全國最有威望的英語學院之一的 in one of the most prestigious English departments
學校教書 in the country.
還有什么不滿足的呢 That's not fulfilling?
每天在文科學院里開教授會議嗎 Sit through a faculty meeting at a liberal arts college,
年輕人 Mr. Young Person.
我保證 你會失去對人類的所有信心 I assure you, you will lose all faith in humanity.
好吧 那課堂上呢 Okay, but what about the classroom?
一定有很多樂趣的 There had to have been some joy there.
我是說 你教得那么好 I mean, you were such a good teacher.
謝謝 Thank you.
我喜歡教書 I like to teach.
曾經狂愛 I used to love it.
為什么變了呢 What happened?
生活變了 Life happened.
好吧 再跟我說點 Okay, I'm gonna need a little bit more.
我只能跟你說這么多 Well, that's all you're gonna get.
我跟你不一樣 我不是那種會說 Unlike you, I'm not from the "let me tell you
讓我告訴你我的悲慘生活的人 every sick, sordid detail of my life" generation.
我做事謹慎 I value discretion.
我討厭自怨自艾 I loathe self-pity.
這么說吧 So let's just leave it at this:
人們真是沒救了 people are disappointing.
是啊 我只是覺得 Yeah, it's just, I would think...
-別太隨意了 -對不起 - Don't get comfortable. - Sorry.
我只是覺得 I would just think
你花那么多時間研究詩歌 that spending so much time with those poems
一定會讓你變得更樂觀 更積極向上 would make you more, you know, optimistic and hopeful.
荒謬 Nonsense.
他們都是悲慘的人 They were miserable men
只不過被賦予了一時的才華 who were granted a few moments of transcendence,
憑借才能和遠見 and they had the talent and foresight
用筆和紙記錄了下來 to grab pen and paper and write it down.
拜倫可能算是他們中最幸福的了 Byron was probably the happiest of the lot,
只是因為他見誰都上 only because he put his dick in everything.
這是我人生中最悲傷的一晚 This is the saddest evening of my life.
學著習慣吧 Get used to it.
給你一點建議 My advice to you is this:
收起你們傷感的小心臟 put some armor around that gooey little heart of yours.
好吧 至少我很欣賞你的諷刺 Well, at least I appreciate the irony.
我剛剛和一個浪漫主義教授 I just had the least romantic night of my life
度過了人生中最不浪漫的一晚 with a Romantics professor.
不論如何 For what it's worth,
關于你的課我說的都是真的 I meant everything I said about your class.
它打開了我的內心世界 It opened something in me,
我很感激 and I'm grateful for it.
如果我心傷感 And if my heart is gooey,
那至少有部分原因是因為你 you're at least partially responsible for that.
這么說招生還是沒有進展 So you're still uninspired by admissions.
是啊 差不多吧 Yeah, pretty much.
沒有遇到杰西·費歇爾第二嗎 No little Jesse Fishers out there?
就算有的話 我也沒有遇見 Well, if there are, I'm not meeting them,
也許你只是沒有認出他們來 Well, maybe you're just not recognizing them.
不管怎樣 Anyway,
我很感謝你能來 I do appreciate you coming by.
真的 I really do.
我很高興在我滾蛋之前 It's great to see you one last time
能再見你一面 before I get the hell out of here.
你覺得好點了嗎 You feeling any better about things?
我真希望時間倒流 I tried to turn the clock back.
但沒有用 it doesn't work.
是啊 沒用 No, it doesn't.
我現在只想 Now I just...
我只是在等自己下定決心 I keep waiting to feel more resolve somehow.
我就像是得到假釋 What if I'm like one of those prisoners
離開監獄的犯人 that gets paroled
發現自己根本不能適應外面的世界 and finds he can't handle life on the outside
所以再次犯罪 so he commits a petty crime
為了再回到熟悉的地方 so he can go back to what he knows?
你覺得這里是監獄嗎 You think this place is a prison?
任何你離不開的地方都是監獄 Well, any place you don't leave is a prison.
我隨便說說 Well, whatever.
-好吧 -好吧 - Okay. - Ok!
你知道為什么你一直是我第二喜歡的教授嗎 You know why you're my second favorite professor of all time?
不知道 I have no idea.
因為你讓我們讀你討厭的作者的書 Because you had us read books by authors you hated.
你應該為你在這所做的感到驕傲 Feel good about what you did here.
謝謝 Thank you.
快上車 快走吧 Gel in your car now, and leave me be.
親愛的姿碧 一別數月 Dear Zibby, even after all these months,
我還是在期待你的信 I'm still half-expecting a letter from you
出現在我的信箱里 to be sitting in my mailbox.
我知道你肯定沒什么想跟我說的了 I'm sure you have little left to say to me at this point,
但是我還是很期待你的來信 but your letters are very much missed.
我知道我傷害了你 我很抱歉 I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry.
我的那些愚蠢行為 Any bone-headed moves I made
都是出于困惑 并沒有惡意 were born of confusion and not malice.
也就是說 我最近才感覺到 That said, I've been feeling lately the stirrings
我在慢慢成長 of something I can only call growth.
這也算是一種饋贈吧 一個小我十六歲的人 It's a tribute of sorts to say that someone 16 years my junior
讓我最終成長為與年齡相符的人 helped me finally start acting my age.
一位戴紅帽子的智者曾經告訴我 A wise man in a red hat once told me,
一切都會好的 Everything is okay.
那時我不相信 I didn't believe him then,
但是出于某種原因 我開始相信了 but for some reason, I'm starting to.
對不起 我們關門了 Sorry, we're closed!
你是來找這個的嗎 Are you here for this?
我注意到你每次來都是讀這本書 I always notice you reading it when you're in here.
是啊 Yeah.
我每去一家書店 都要讀這本書 Any bookstore I'm in, I have to read then.
最后三頁 Last three pages.
我知道 很震撼 I know. They're devastating.
是啊 Yeah.
我叫杰西 I'm Jesse.
我叫安娜 I'm Ana.
我愛讀書 I love books.
我用了最笨拙的方式來表達 I do in, like, the dorkiest way possible.
我也是 Oh, me too.
這是個問題 It's a problem.
就好像 我喜歡樹 因為樹能做成書 Like, I love trees cause they give us books.
樹能造書 這很酷不是嗎 Super cool of the trees to do that, right?
其實我 I'm actually
這很奇怪 this is weird.
其實我試著少讀點書 I'm actually trying to read less.
為什么 Why?
我覺得我都沒有時間看電視了 I felt like I wasn't watching enough television.
我只是開始覺得從書中品讀生活 No, I just... I started to feel like reading about life
占用了大部分現實生活的時間 was taking time away from actually living life,
所以我嘗試著接受其他事物 so I'm trying to, like, accept invitations to things,
多與外面的世界接觸 say "Hi" to the world a little more.
聽起來有點可怕 That sounds scary.
這有用嗎 It's going well?
還行吧 It's...okay.
我出去的時候 Most of the time when I'm out,
大部分時候我都在想 I keep thinking I'd be so much happier
躺在床上讀書應該更開心 in bed with a book,
這讓我覺得不是很好 and that makes me feel not super cool.
我還是讀很多書 I still read tons.
我覺得我意識到了書也有局限性 I just feel like I'm more aware of a book's limitations.
你明白我的意思嗎 Does that make sense?
完全明白 Yeah, totally.
我說的怎么樣 How am I doing here?
什么 你是說我們的談話嗎 What? Here in this conversation?
是啊 Yeah.
很好 你說得非常好 Very well. You are doing great.
所以你想要放下書 So you maybe want to get away from these books
出去走走嗎 and walk somewhere?
是啊 Yeah, okay.
-真的嗎 -當然 我們走吧 - Really? - Sure. Let's do it.
很好 很好 Great. Great.
你可以叫上你的丈夫或者男朋友 And feel free to invite your husband or boyfriend.
他們現在都沒空 所以 They're both pretty busy right now, so...
看來只有我們倆了 Probably just be us, then.
是啊 只有我們倆 Yeah. Just us.
我是迪恩 It's Dean.
弗蘭岑 我們喜歡同一個作家 Franzen? We like the same writer.

你不需要開車過來的 You didn't have to drive all the way out here.
幾乎是飛來的 混蛋 I flew, you bastard.
謝謝你 Thanks.
謝謝你接了我的電話 For picking up the phone.
我不知道還能打給誰 I didn't know who else to call.
我能提個建議嗎 Can I make a suggestion?
當然 Yeah.
別再讀這本書了 Stop reading this.
為什么 Why?
因為作者自殺了 你不能那么做 Because he killed himself, and you're not gonna do that.
你應該讀點別的 You need to read something else.
別做英年早逝的天才 Listen, don't be a genius who dies young.
要活到老死 Be one who dies old.
變老很酷的 Being old is cool.
自然變老 然后死去 Grow old and die old.
這樣更好 It's a better arc.
聽我說 伙計 Listen to me, man.
現在你所感受到的一切 This right now, all this stuff you're feeling,
都不過是腳注 懂嗎 this is a footnote, okay?
你畢業以后 You're gonna graduate,
進入社會 and you're gonna get out in the world
去實現自己的價值 and stumble into something like contentment.
一定會的 I know it.
因為你就是這樣過來的嗎 Is that how it's been for you?
當然不是的 Hell, no.
但有時還是不錯的 But some days are all right, you know?
有時候就像是上天的恩賜 Some days are like a gift,
有時卻糟糕透頂 and some days suck.
但總的來說還是好的 But all of that's okay.
所以我要帶你脫離后現代主義 So I'm taking you off post-modernists.
你有什么好方法嗎 What are you prescribing?
有一些關于吸血鬼的書 There are these vampire books.
孩子們都喜歡讀 The kids love 'em.
相信我 絕對可以重塑你的閱讀觀 Trust me, they will empty your mind completely.
為什么對我這么好 Why are you being so nice to me?
你趕來看我 You flew all the way back here to see me,
我們只說過兩次話而已 and we had, like, two conversations.
好的讀書人就是我的軟肋 I have a soft spot for good readers.
讀書人現在已經不多了 They're hard to find these days.
我真的很想你 I really did miss you.
我們經歷了這些精彩的事情 You know, we had this thing happening,
然后你卻離開了 and it was so exciting, and then you were just gone.
但現在已經沒事了 But it's okay now.
我想通了 I get it.
我有時候覺得很瞧不起自己 I sometimes feel like I'm looking down on myself,
就好像有一個更成熟更聰明的自己 like there's this older, wiser me
看著一個十九歲的半成品 watching over this 19-year-old rough draft
這個半成品潛力無窮 who's full of all this potential
但是還需要很長時間 but has to live more
去趕超另一個自己 to catch up with that other self somehow.
而且 And...
我知道我能做到 I know I'll get there.
只是有時候我覺得 It's just sometimes I think
我想要加快進程 你明白嗎 I want to rush the process, you know?
而且我不知道 And I don't know.
也許 Maybe...
也許我認為你就是那個捷徑 maybe I thought you were some sort of shortcut.
你明白嗎 Does that make any sense?
如果要我寫你 我一定會寫 If I wrote you, I would be like
這是最棒的半成品 "This is the best but rough draft ever."
又是你 Seriously?
豬一樣的室友 Roommates.
好了 我該回到成人的世界了 Well, I should get back to adulthood.

你越來越有智慧了 Look, you're getting wise.
我在變老 I'm getting old.
我說的是你越來越有智慧了 Not the same thing. I say you're getting wise.
你擔心變老嗎 You worry about getting old?
我覺得變老挺好的 I think being old's gonna be okay.
人都會走到那一步的 It's just the getting there that kicks your ass, you know?
你會是個很棒的老家伙 You're gonna be a great old guy.
真的嗎 Really?
我覺得這是我聽過 I feel like the nicest thing
最動聽的話 anyone's ever said to me.
除非是批評的話 Unless it's a criticism,
比如 你已經變得很挑剔還有種族歧視 like, "You're already judgmental and racist.
你一定會成為很好的老家伙 You're gonna be a great old guy."
不 我是說 你會穿布袋褲 No, I mean you'll wear baggy pants,
有點小肚子 and you'll have a little belly,
你想再要杯咖啡的時候你會這樣跟服務員說 and when you want more coffee, you'll say to the waitress,
能再給我一杯嗎 親愛的 "Could you warm this up for me, dear?"
你說對了 You're right.
我一定會是那樣 I will say that.
我覺得你也會是個很幫的老家伙 I think you're gonna be a great old person too.
