[00:11.52]My Dad--Who I wish he wasn't

[00:13.54]我希望他不是我爸爸

[00:15.55]I know this is really bad to say but I hate my dad.

[00:18.52]我知道这样说是很不对的,但我讨厌我爸爸。

[00:21.49]When he punishes me he really punishes me.

[00:24.01]当他惩罚我的时候一点情面也不留。

[00:26.53]Well,he just saw my report card.

[00:28.26]哎,刚才他看到我的成绩表。

[00:29.99]I got a C, so my dad made me write,

[00:31.86]我刚拿了个C,他就让我写

[00:33.73]"I won't get anymore C's" two thousand times.

[00:36.41]2000遍"我不会再拿C了"。

[00:39.10]I argued that was physically 1 impossible for me,

[00:41.02]当我争辩这是不可能的时候,

[00:42.95]so then I had to do a thousand.

[00:44.33]他让我减少到1000遍。

[00:45.72]Well,it's 11:40 now.

[00:47.09]哎,现在是11:40分了。

[00:48.46]But then I scribbled 2 a little bit and only wrote it nine hundred.

[00:51.08]我已经写得很潦草了,只写了900遍。

[00:53.71]Giving that I have just wrote it nine hundred times,

[00:55.89]我想已经完成了900遍,

[00:58.07]I thought my dad might give me some slack.

[00:59.71]爸爸应该会放过我吧。

[01:01.34]But he made me write it 60 more times and told me how careless I was.

[01:05.32]但他没有,他还让我再写60遍,然后说我有多么粗心。

[01:09.30]My dad also whipped me,

[01:10.97]他还用东西抽打我,

[01:12.65]but I've gotten used to it sort of.

[01:14.32]但我已经习惯了。

[01:16.00]Only if he tries his hardest to make it hurt.

[01:17.78]除非他出尽全力才会弄痛我。

[01:19.56]The belt is usually leather.

[01:21.18]鞭子通常是皮做的。

[01:22.80]He also had me kneeling on the floor.

[01:24.17]他还让我跪在地板上，

[01:25.54]To you it might sound that's it,

[01:26.71]对你来说可能觉得这没什么大不了,

[01:27.88]but it kills if you kneel on really cold floors for an hour.

[01:30.34]但假如你跪在冰冷的地板上一小时就会感觉到痛苦了。

[01:32.81]My dad always makes me in pain.

[01:34.77]我爸总是令我疼痛。

[01:36.73]To you

[01:39.00]your dad may seem harsh by just sending you to your room and things like that.

[01:41.92]在你看来你爸爸命令你收拾房间或类似的事情可能已经够严厉了,

[01:44.83]That's nothing compared to what I have to suffer.

[01:46.79]但比起我所经受的可是小巫见大巫。

[01:48.76]Going to sleep.

[01:49.98]去睡觉了。

[01:51.20]Hope your dad is nicer than mine.

[01:52.99]希望你爸爸比我的好吧。

[02:10.72]My Twin Brothers

[02:11.69]我的双胞胎兄弟

[02:12.66]I have siblings,two twin brothers,

[02:14.33]我有两个兄弟,他们是双胞胎,

[02:16.01]but they can be as different as night and day.

[02:17.63]但他们却像白昼与黑夜一样有着天壤之别。

[02:19.25]Brother One comes off as shy,or quiet,but he really isn't.

[02:22.13]第一个弟弟看起来很腼腆,或者说安静,但实际上他却并非如此。

[02:25.01]Since I only see them half the time,

[02:26.32]因为我只有一半的时间能见到他,

[02:27.64]I don't know how he is at his mom's,or at school.

[02:29.51]我不知道他在他妈妈那儿或在学校时是怎么样的。

[02:31.38]But here, he definitely isn't quiet.

[02:32.95]但在这儿,他绝不能称得上是安静的。

[02:34.51]He's also very smart.

[02:35.57]他还很聪明,

[02:36.64]When he was like seven,

[02:37.66]在他大概七岁的时候,

[02:38.69]he would do math to put himself to sleep.

[02:40.11]他就会做数学题来使自己睡着。

[02:41.53]It was insane.

[02:42.50]这实在有点疯狂。

[02:43.48]At times,I feel I'm compared to him,even though he's younger.

[02:45.80]有时,我会感觉到别人用我来和他比较,尽管他比我小。

[02:48.12]But you know what?

[02:48.84]但你知道吗?

[02:49.56]My dad has never actually compared me to anyone.

[02:51.38]其实我爸爸并没有拿我与任何人比较过。

[02:53.20]I think it is myself who makes the comparisons,when I feel insecure.

[02:55.88]我想可能是当我缺乏安全感的时候,我白己拿我们俩做比较吧。

[02:58.56]Brother One and I like to pretend we don't like each other at times,

[03:00.68]我们之间有时会假装不喜欢对方,

[03:02.81]but the truth is I'd do anything for him.

[03:04.48]但事实上我可以为他做任何事情。

[03:06.16]Then there's Brother Two who is one of my best friends on the planet.

[03:08.77]现在轮到第二个弟弟了,他是我在地球上最好的朋友之一。

[03:11.38]Don't get me wrong;I absolutely love both of my brothers.

[03:13.45]不要误会,我的两个弟弟我都爱。

[03:15.52]But Brother One and I don't mesh 3 too well at times.

[03:17.30]但第一个弟弟有时和我不大合得来,

[03:19.08]Brother Two and I get along almost always.

[03:20.81]而第二个弟弟和我一直相处得很好。

[03:22.54]I tell him everything,even when he pretends he doesn't want to listen.

[03:24.80]我什么话都对他说,尽管有时他会假装毫无兴趣。

[03:27.07]He knows as much about me as my girlfriends do,

[03:28.85]他和我的女朋友们一样,对我的事都很清楚,

[03:30.64]and I think that's awesome 4.

[03:31.81]我觉得这实在是太好了。

[03:32.98]I love how he never spares my feelings

[03:34.40]我喜欢他从来都直截了当地告诉我他对我的处境的想法,

[03:35.82]and always tells me straight up what he thinks about my situations.

[03:38.09]而不会为顾及我的感受而有所顾虑。

[03:40.36]Because he's my brother,

[03:41.24]因为他是我的兄弟,

[03:42.12]he doesn't have to sugarcoat what he has to say.

[03:43.69]所以他没必要漂亮地包装他想说的话。

[03:45.25]And I love him for it.

[03:46.13]我就是爱他这一点

[03:47.02]Before September 28,2000,

[03:48.55]在2000年9月28日之前,

[03:50.08]I saw my brothers almost every single day of my life.

[03:51.95]我几乎每天都见到他们。

[03:53.82]We alternated houses together,and we knew each other's lives almost completely.

[03:56.34]我们互相去对方家里做客,我们几乎完全知道对方的生活。

[03:58.86]But now,I don't think I know them as well as I used to.

[04:00.57]但现在,我认为我已经不像过去一样了解他们了。

[04:02.28]And that makes me sad,

[04:03.25]这让我难过,

[04:04.22]because my brothers are two of the best things that have ever happened to me.

[04:06.55]因为他们是我所拥有的最好的事物。

[04:33.96]最后,

[04:34.68]all his drinking killed off his liver and he died shortly after I was born.

[04:54.95]酗酒不仅仅是一个坏习惯,

[04:56.32]It's an actual disease.

[04:57.59]而确实是一种病。

[04:58.87]And the disease is carried throughout the family,

[05:00.40]这疾病影响了我整个家庭,

[05:01.93]so my chances of getting it are strong.

[05:03.95]因此我也会很容易沾染上。

[05:05.96]So through him,I also know not to get caught up in it.

[05:08.18]经过祖父这件事,我认识到不能染上酗酒的恶习。

[05:29.94]She held true to the vows 6 she made,

[05:31.65]依然谨守着她的誓言。

[05:33.36]through the drinking and the verbal abuse.

[05:34.82]在酒气与谩骂声中

[05:40.72]她现在再婚了。

[05:42.04]You can tell by looking at them,
