We're paying you $ 150 a month. If he's gonna be sitting around...watching TV all day, we're taking him out of here.

我们每月付150块给你，要是他就坐在这儿…一直看电视的话，我们就带他走。 -Mrs. Chu: Go pay more at other daycare if you don't like Navy TV. You late pay anyway. You complain. I complain. complain: 抱怨

你要是不喜欢海军片的话，就多花钱去别家幼儿园好了，反正你总是晚付钱。你抱怨，我还抱怨呢。

我在等Witter公司人事部主管Jay Twistle，他的名字听起来很可爱就好像他会给我份工作，外加一个拥抱。

I just had to show him I was good with numbers and good with people. Morning, Mr. Twistle.

而我所要做的，就是让他知道，我精通数字，而且懂得待人之道，早上好，Twistle先生。 -Twistle: Good morning. 早上好。

-Chris: Mr. Twistle, Chris Gardner. Twistle先生，我是Chris Gardner。 -Twistle: Hi. 你好。

-Chris: I wanted to drop this off personally and make your acquaintance. drop: 放下 acquaintance: 相识

我得在你进去之前亲自把这个交给您和您认识一下。

I thought I'd catch you on the way in. I'd love the opportunity to discuss...what may seem like weaknesses on my application. weakness: 软弱 application: 申请

希望有机会能和您坐下聊聊我申请表上看起来比较薄弱的几点。

-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。 Hey, hey! Wait! Wait! Hey, get back here!

-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。

-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。
