In between these low-paying retail jobs, I did what any normal teenager did in the 1990s.
在這些薪水低廉的銷售工作中，我做了90年代每一個正常的青少年都會做的事。
I shoplifted. I'm just kidding. I hung out with my friends at the mall.
我偷東西了。我開玩笑的。我和我的朋友在商場里逛。
Everyone's like, "Oh my God, what kind of talk is this?"
你們可能覺得，“我的天吶，這是什么演講啊？”
Hanging out at the mall could be fun, but it could be really lame, too,
逛商場可能會很愉快，但是也可能很沒品，
like sharing a cigarette with a 40-year-old unemployed mall rat
比如和40歲的無業游民分享一根香煙，
who has put on black lipstick for the night while you're on your break from your crappy minimum wage job.
而他昨天晚上還涂了黑色口紅，而那時候你剛從最低工資的工作中歇口氣。
As I stand here today, Owings Mills has been gutted and it's ready for the wrecking ball.
今天我站在這里的時候，奧因斯米爾斯已經被徹底清空，拆遷的大錘已經準備好了。
The last time I was there, it was in the evening, and it was about three days before they closed the mall for good.
我最后一次去那里的時候是個傍晚，大概是他們關閉商場的三天前。
And you kind of felt -- they never announced the mall was closing,
你感覺好像--商場倒閉的消息從未公開，
but you had this sort of feeling, this ominous feeling, that something big was going to happen, like it was the end of the road.
但你就是有這種感覺，這種不祥的預感，有什么事要發生了，就像一條路走到了盡頭。
It was a very creepy walk through the mall. Let me show you.
我在商場里走過了一段非常可怕的路。我給你們看一下。
