That was my stolen machine. Unless she was with a guy who sold them too.

Which was unlikely ...because I was the only one selling them in the Bay Area.

I spent our entire life savings on these things. It was such a revolutionary machine. Can you feel it, baby?

entire: 全部的 saving: 存款 revolutionary: 革命的

我把所有的积蓄都押在这上面了,押在这个革命性的仪器上了。亲爱的,你感觉到了吗?

-Chris: What I didn't know is that doctors and hospitals...would consider them unnecessary luxuries.

unnecessary: 不必要的 luxury: 奢侈

但是我没想到,医院的医生们会认为它是没用的奢侈品。

I even asked the landlord to take a picture. So if I lost one, it was like losing a month' groceries.

landlord: 房东 grocery: (美国俚语)必需之物

我甚至请房东给我们照了相,所以丢了一台仪器就意味着损失了一个月的伙食。

This could be an ant farm. This could be a microscope or anything.

有可能是“蚂蚁农场”也可能是显微镜或别的什么。

-Christopher: No, it's not.

不,不是的。

-Chris: There, there. All right, come on. Open him up. Open him up. That paper's a little heavy, huh?

是的。

-Chris: Hi. Chris Gardner.

你好,我是Chris Gardner。

-Twistle: Yeah, hi. Listen. What can I do for you?

你好,有什么事吗?

-Chris: I submitted an application for the intern program about a month ago...and I would just love to sit with you briefly...

submit: 递交 intern: 实习生 briefly: 简短的

我一个月前交了份实习申请表,我想找机会和您坐下来简单谈谈…

-Twistle: Listen, I'm going to Noe Valley, Chris. Take care of yourself.

听着,我要赶去诺亚谷,Chris你保重。

-Chris: Mr. Twistle. Actually, I'm on my way to Noe Valley also. How about we share a ride?

Twistle先生,我正好也要去诺亚谷,我搭个车怎么样?

-Twistle: All right, get in.

好吧,上车吧。

-Chris: All right. So when I was in the Navy, I worked for a doctor...who loved to play golf, hours every day...

好的,我在海军服役时为一个医生工作,他很喜欢高尔夫,每天都要花很多时间在那上面。

And I would actually perform medical procedures...when he'd leave me in the office.

actually: 实际上 perform: 执行 procedure: 手续

我还得替他处理医疗事务,当他不在的时候。

So I'm used to being in a position where I have to make decisions and... Mr. Twistle, listen. This is a very important...

position: 立场

我习惯于做出抉择,而且…Twistle先生,听我说,这很重要。

-Twistle: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This thing's impossible.

对不起,对不起,这东西不可能拼出来的。

-Chris: I can do it.

我可以。

-Twistle: No, you can't. No one can. That's bullshit

bullshit: 胡说

你不行,没人可以的。不可能的。

-Chris: No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.

我确定我能行的。

-Twistle: No, you can't.

你不行。

-Chris: Let me see it. Give it here. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow, you really messed it up.

mess up: 混乱

让我看看,给我。哦,你真是拼的一团糟啊。

-Twistle: Sorry.

不好意思。

-Chris: It looks like it works around a swivel, so the center pieces never move. So if it's yellow in the center, that's the yellow side.

swivel: (使)旋转

看起来这些是围绕一个轴心转动,中间的这部分保持不动,所以说如果中间那片是黄色这面就应该是黄色的。

If it's red in the center, that's the red side.

如果中间那片是红色,那么这面就应该是红色的。

-Twistle: Okay.

好的。

-Chris: So... you can slow down.

slow down: 放慢速度

开慢点吧。

-Twistle: Listen, we can drive around all day. I don't believe you can do this.

我们可以就这么一直开下去,我就不信你能拼出来。

-Chris: Yeah, I can.

我可以的。

-Twistle: No, you can't.

不,你不成。

-Chris: Yes, I can.

我可以的。

-Twistle: No, you can't. I'm telling you, no one can.

不,你不成。不,你不行,没人可以的。

-Chris: See? That's all I ever do.

看到没?我就只能到这步了。

-Twistle: You almost have this side. Holy cow. You almost had that one.

holy: 圣人

那面快拼出来了。哦,你拼出来了。哦,那面也快拼出来了。

-Chris: I'm gonna get it.

我能全部拼出来的。

-Twistle: Look at that. You're almost there.

真厉害啊,快好了。

-Driver: 17.10.

17块1毛。

-Twistle: This is me. Good job. Goodbye.

我到了,拼得不错,再见。

-Chris: Yeah. I'll see you soon.

回头见。

-Driver: Where are you going, sir? Excuse me, sir. Where are you going, please?

先生,你要去哪里?对不起,先生?你要去哪里?

-Chris: Two... A couple of blocks. Just flip around.

block: 街区 flip: 转动

呃…2个…几个街区就到,调下头。

-Driver: Okay. Hey! Stop it! Hey! Where are you going? Come here!

好的。嘿,停下!你到哪儿去?回来!

不!不,不,不!

-Driver: You asshole, give me my money! Give me my money.

asshole: 可恶的家伙

你这缺德鬼,给我钱,给我钱!

-Chris: Please stop. Please, please, please!

-Chris: Linda, wait a minute. Hold it, hold...

Linda,等下。

-Linda: I'm going to leave. We are leaving.

我们要走了,我们走了。

-Chris: It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson...the Declaration of Independence.

declaration: 宣言 independence: 独立

那一刻,我想起了Thomas Jefferson,想起了“独立宣言”。

And the part about our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking:

liberty: 自由 pursuit: 追求

想起了其中对生存权,自由权,以及追求幸福权利的描写。我一直在想。

How did he know to put the "pursuit" part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue.

他是怎么知道要把“追求幸福”那部分放进去的?也许幸福是只能去追求。

And maybe we can actually never have it...no matter what. How did he know that?

但是却永远也追求不到,无论如何也追求不到的。他究竟是怎么知道的?
