You see that building. . . I was part of a team of architects that designed it.

你看那樓...我是設(shè)計這座樓的建筑師之一。

Really? That's very impressive.

真的?很是令人印象深刻。

Thank you. It was a challenge. We had to design it to with stand earthquakes.

謝謝。那可是個挑戰(zhàn)。我們不得不進行防震設(shè)計。

It must be a little nerve-racking to live with the threat of earthquakes.

生活在地震的威脅中，一定會造成神經(jīng)緊張。

Yes and no. Most of the time you don't even think about it. But then the next little tremor comes along and you think it's the big one.

是也不是。多數(shù)時間你根本不會想到它。但當下一個震動來臨，你會認為是大震動。

Oh, great!

真夠受的!

Don't worry...I promise...no earthquakes...tonight...So, are you ready for your next San Francisco treat?

別擔心…我保證…沒地震…今晚…所以你為下一個舊金山的款待準備好了嗎?

Mm-hm.

呣-呣...

Yeah? OK.

嗯?行了。

This place is magnificent.

這地方真壯觀。

It's the Palace of Fine Arts.

這是藝術(shù)館。

It was built in 1915 as the centerpiece of the Panama-Pacific Exposition.

大廳建于1915年，是巴拿馬-太平洋博覽會的中心廳。

I've never seen anything like this before.

我從來沒見過這樣的廳。

Yeah. It's a fine example of neoclassical architecture. . . Oh, I've got a surprise for you. Listen. Hello! Hello!!!

是啊。這是新古典主義建筑的良好范例…哦，我有一個驚喜給你。聽好。你好!你好!!!

Oh, listen to that echo. What a great place to record a song. Maybe I'll come back here some day and record one of my own songs.

聽那回音。真是個錄制歌曲的好地方。也許哪天我會到這里，錄制一首我自己的歌。

You know, I've never heard you sing. Would you sing for me?

你知道，我還沒聽你唱過歌哪。能為我唱一首嗎?

You don't want me to sing here.

你不會讓我在這兒唱吧。

Yes, right here.

是的，就在這兒。

Well, I don't have my guitar...

我沒有吉他...

Just...just a little song.

只是...只唱一首。

Go to sleep, The stars are brightly shining, Go to sleep, The moon is on the rise, Our life's a dream, We barely know we're dreaming, 'Til I see the light that's shining in your eyes, 'Til I see the light that's shining in your eyes.

睡吧，天上的星星在閃爍， 睡吧， 皎潔的月亮在升起，我們的生活是場夢，我們難以知曉在夢中，直到我在你眼中看到閃爍的光芒，直到我在你眼中看到閃爍的光芒。

You have a lovely voice!

你有著美妙的聲音。

Thank you.

謝謝。

Did you write that song?

歌是你寫的嗎?

No, my mother wrote it. I used to sing it to my brother when he was a little boy.

Oh. What's your brother's name?

Yeah, very close. Our mother died when we were very young. And I took care of Kevin until now.

是的，很親近。我母親在我們很小的時候就去世了。我照顧凱文…直到現(xiàn)在。

Well, your mom left you a beautiful song.

是啊，你母親給你留下了一首美麗的歌。
