你要是不喜歡海軍片的話,就多花錢去別家幼兒園好了,反正你總是晚付錢。你抱怨,我還抱怨呢。

那能不能把狗帶到樓上去?關到你房間或什么地方?

你好。
-Chris: I wanted to drop this off personally and make your acquaintance.

我得在你進去之前親自把這個交給您和您認識一下。
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.

希望有機會能和您坐下聊聊我申請表上看起來比較薄弱的幾點。

嗨,你好,我是Chris Gardner 找Delsey.醫(yī)生,我要晚一點才能來推銷。
I was wondering if… Yeah, Osteo National. Right. We can still…? Half an hour? Yes. Beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you, thank you.
wonder: 猜想

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.

-Linda: Oh, yeah. You got me doing all the work.
當然了,你在叫我一個人忙活。
-Chris: What I didn't know is that doctors and hospitals…would consider them unnecessary luxuries.
unnecessary: 不必要的 luxury: 奢侈
但是我沒想到,醫(yī)院的醫(yī)生們會認為它是沒用的奢侈品。
I even asked the landlord to take a picture. So if I lost one, it was like losing a month' groceries.
landlord: 房東 grocery: (美國俚語)必需之物
我甚至請房東給我們照了相,所以丟了一臺儀器就意味著損失了一個月的伙食。

-Chris: Hey, hey. What do you mean? You don't know that that's a basketball.
嗨,什么意思?誰說這是籃球啊?
This could be an ant farm. This could be a microscope or anything.
microscope: 顯微鏡
有可能是“螞蟻農(nóng)場”也可能是顯微鏡或別的什么。
-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?

嗨,等一下。聽我說,Linda,放松,我們會渡過難關的,一切都會好起來的,好嗎?
-Linda: You said that before, when I got pregnant. “It'll be fine.”

你以前就這么說過,我懷孕的時候,你就說:“一切都會好起來的”。
-Chris: So you don't trust me now?

隨便,我不在乎。
-Twistle: Taxi!

Twistle先生,我正好也要去諾亞谷,我搭個車怎么樣?
-Twistle: All right, get in.
好吧,上車吧。
-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,我在海軍服役時為一個醫(yī)生工作,他很喜歡高爾夫,每天都要花很多時間在那上面。
And I would actually perform medical procedures…when he'd leave me in the office.
actually: 實際上 perform: 執(zhí)行 procedure: 手續(xù)
我還得替他處理醫(yī)療事務,當他不在的時候。
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: 立場
我習慣于做出抉擇,而且…Twistle先生,聽我說,這很重要。
-Twistle: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This thing's impossible.
對不起,對不起,這東西不可能拼出來的。
-Chris: I can do it.
我可以。
-Twistle: No, you can't. No one can. That's bullshit
bullshit: 胡說
你不行,沒人可以的。不可能的。
-Chris: No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.
