[00:00:47]I nodded. 我點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭。 [00:02:38]Sorry about the food analogy — I couldn't think of another way to explain. “很抱歉要用食物來(lái)分析——我想不出別的方法來(lái)解釋?！? [00:06:21]I smiled. He smiled ruefully back. 我微笑著。他報(bào)以悲慘的一笑。 [00:09:57]You see, every person smells different, has a different essence. “你看，每個(gè)人聞起來(lái)都不一樣，有著不同的本質(zhì)。 [00:14:46]If you locked an alcoholic in a room full of stale beer, he'd gladly drink it. 如果你把一個(gè)酒鬼鎖在一間放滿壞掉的啤酒的屋子里，他會(huì)很想喝酒。 [00:21:49]But he could resist, if he wished to, if he were a recovering alcoholic. 但他能忍住，如果他愿意的話，如果他是一個(gè)改過(guò)自新的前酒鬼。 [00:29:24]Now let's say you placed in that room a glass of hundred-year-old brandy, the rarest, finest cognac 現(xiàn)在，假設(shè)你在房間里放上一杯百年白蘭地，最寶貴的，最好的科涅克白蘭地 [00:36:22]and filled the room with its warm aroma — how do you think he would fare then? 讓整個(gè)屋子里都彌漫著它溫暖的芳香——你想他接下來(lái)會(huì)怎么做呢?” [00:42:53]We sat silently, looking into each other's eyes — trying to read each other's thoughts. 我們沉默地坐著，看著彼此的眼睛——努力想要看懂對(duì)方的想法。 [00:47:37]He broke the silence first. 他首先打破了沉默。 [00:50:05]Maybe that's not the right comparison. Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the brandy. “也許這個(gè)比喻不太恰當(dāng)。也許克制自己不去喝白蘭地太容易了。 [00:56:35]Perhaps I should have made our alcoholic a heroin addict instead. 大概，我應(yīng)該用癮君子來(lái)代替酒鬼舉例的。” [01:02:14]So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin? I teased, trying to lighten the mood. “那么你是在說(shuō)，我是你個(gè)人品牌的海_落_因?”我揶揄著，試圖讓氣氛輕松些。 [01:08:30]He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin. 他很快地笑了，似乎很感激我的努力。“是的，你確實(shí)是我個(gè)人品牌的海落因。” [01:16:57]Does that happen often? I asked. “這種情況經(jīng)常發(fā)生嗎?”我問(wèn)道。 [01:20:27]He looked across the treetops, thinking through his response. 他抬起頭，越過(guò)樹(shù)梢望著遠(yuǎn)處，思索著他的回答。 [01:23:46]I spoke to my brothers about it. He still stared into the distance. “我和我的兄弟們談過(guò)這件事。”他依然看著遠(yuǎn)方。
