[00:13.30]地表是什么样的? What was the terrain 2 like?

[00:15.90]山川地貌 Mountainous.

[00:19.06]西面有大片平原 Vast plains to the west.

[00:27.73]我怀疑我那时看到了不列颠群岛 I suspect I saw the british isles 3

[00:34.10]在另一面有一个极其深的山谷 On the other side of an enormous deep valley

[00:36.86]被夕阳的余晖所笼罩 That was shadowed by the setting sun.

[00:38.82]这就是它们在被冰川融化的海面上升前 This is before they were separated

[00:40.70]从大陆分离前的样子 From the continent by rising seas, as glaciers 4 melted.

[00:44.46]这事发生过吗? That happened?

[00:52.27]我就是在那儿找的 And that’s where I found it.

[00:54.26]不然我怎么会有渊博的回忆 How can I have knowledgeable 5 recall



[00:56.16]如果我没有渊博的知识呢? If I didn’t have knowledge?

[00:58.03]这些都是可回溯的 It’s all retrospective.

[01:00.06]我能做的就是用现代的发现 All I can do is integrate my recollections

[01:02.56]来补充我的回忆 With modern findings.

[01:04.36]穴居人 你会用大棒敲我的头 Caveman, you gonna hit me over the head with a club

[01:07.06]然后把我拖进卧室去吗? And drag me into the bedroom?

[01:10.40]哦 John Oh, john.

[01:11.36]我们得先说清楚 Let me get this straight.

[01:29.50]你有能力一次次地 You’re supposed to come back

[01:30.80]转世投胎 不断学习 Again and again, learn and learn,

[01:32.43]不知为何 John 你成功地 And somehow, john, you just managed

[01:55.03]我们会抬头望天 同时惊叹 We would look up at the sky and wonder.

[01:57.26]"上面应该住着一些大人物 "There’s gotta be some big guys up there.

[01:59.46]不然下面的一切从何而来?" What else made all this down here?"

[02:01.26]一开始我在想 At first I thought

[02:02.80]是不是我有什么问题 There was something wrong with me-

[02:05.43]也许我是个坏人 因为我不会死 Maybe I was a bad guy for not dying.

[02:09.16]后来我开始怀疑我是否被诅咒了 Then I began to wonder if I was cursed

[02:12.43]或者被保佑了 Or perhaps blessed.

[02:14.73]又后来我想也许我身负重任 Then I thought maybe I had a mission.

[02:18.43]你现在还这么认为吗? Do you still think you do?

[02:20.21]上帝的行为是不被凡人所理解的 God works in mysterious ways.

[02:21.96]我现在认为这就是既成事实 I think I just happened.

[02:33.06]喔 Wow.

[02:34.20]你好? Hello?

[03:13.83]不会吧 我以为已经说完了 Come on, I thought we were done with that.

[03:16.10]不 我们继续 No! Let’s go on with it.

[03:17.73]这很有趣 It’s interesting.

[03:19.13]更何况 我觉得他讲的挺像那么回事 Besides, I think he’s making a certain amount of sense.

[03:22.00]就像黑格尔说的 荒谬是逻辑的前提 Like hegel Logic 8 from absurd premises 9.

[03:24.60]那幅画是梵高的吗? That van gogh?

[03:25.96]他送给我的 John: he gave it to me.

[03:28.16]我那时候叫Jacque Bourne I was, uh, jacque bourne at the time,

[03:30.90]是个养猪的 A pig farmer.

[03:32.15]养猪的? A pig farmer?

[03:34.76]我喜欢亲手劳动 I like to work with my hands.

[03:36.86]他会来我这儿 画画 He would come out to the place, paint.

　　[03:39.00]我们讨论在艺术中诠释自然 We talked about capturing nature in art.

[03:41.10]还有特纳(1775-1851) 塞尚(1839-1906) 毕加索 Turner, cezanne, pissarro.

[03:43.27]诺尔德(1867-1956)的风景画 Oh, the nolde landscapes.

[03:45.23]他和梵高不同时代 Not in van gogh’s time.

[03:47.13]他会喜欢他的画的 He would have loved them, though.

[03:48.70]是的 Yes.

[03:49.73]我不明白 Well, I don’t understand

[03:51.46]为什么你记不得你从哪里来 Why you can’t remember where you’re from.

[03:53.66]地貌没有改变过啊 Geography hasn’t changed.

[03:55.46]我从汉森教授的 I learned that in-

[03:57.16]无聊的课上学到的 Professor hensen’s tepid 10 lectures.

[03:58.50]你说的对 But you’re right.

[03:59.93]你们5岁的时候住在哪儿? Where did you live when you were five years old?

[04:02.10]小石镇 Little rock.

[04:03.23]你妈妈 带你去过集市吗? Your mother, she took you to the market?

[04:05.26]- 嗯 - 从你家门口走 Mm-Hmm. What direction was it?

[04:06.60]它在哪个方向? From your house.

[04:08.01]我不知道 I don’t know.

[04:09.40]要走多久? How far?

[04:10.36]呃 3个街区 Um, three blocks.

[04:12.26]有哪些参照物吗? Were there any references

[04:13.80]在你印象中? That stuck in your mind?

[04:15.26]呃 有一个加油站 Well, there was a gas station

[04:16.76]和一大片田地 And a big field.

[04:18.36]我被关照过不能单独去那里 I was told I could never go there alone.

[04:20.53]那假如你如今再回去 And if you went back there today,

[04:22.20]它还会一样吗? Would it be the same?

[04:23.70]不会 我想肯定大不一样了 都改建过了 No. I’m sure it’s all different and built up.

[04:26.60]这就应了那句老话"你无法再次回家" Thus the saying "You can’t go home again"

[04:29.46]因为它已经不在那儿了 Because it isn’t there anymore.

[04:30.76]站在我的立场考虑下 Picture it on my scale-

[04:32.56]我不断地在一望无际的平原迁徙 I migrated through an endless flat space

[04:35.90]不断接受着新事物 Full of endless new things-

[04:38.33]森林 山川 冻土 峡谷 Forests, mountains, tundra 11, canyons 12.

[04:43.20]我只记得它们当时的样子 My memory sees what I saw then.

[04:46.78]而如今它们已经变成高速公路 蔓延的城镇 My eye sees freeways, urban sprawl 13,

[04:50.11]埃菲尔铁塔下造起了麦当劳 Big macs under the eiffel tower.

[04:53.36]在早期 世界变得越来越大 Early on, the world got bigger and bigger,

[04:56.10]于是  And then...

[04:58.43]想想看 我需要修改的地方 Think what I’ve had to unlearn.

[05:00.26]而你还是得继续上路 And now you’re moving on.
