One time when I was in London I ran into this lady who called herself "the moral consciousness of the subway"
一次當我在倫敦的時候 遇見一位女士 她自稱是"地鐵的道德意識"
and she must've been 75 to 80 and she was really funny
她應該有75到80歲了 卻非常有趣
An, you know, they have regulations about who can sit on what seats,
你知道 他們是有規定誰可以坐在什么椅子上
"these seats are for the handicapped, these seats are for the people, mothers with children, and no one else may ever sit there"
這些座位是給殘疾人的 這些座位是給帶小孩的媽媽的 其他人都不可以坐在那
And I got on the subway and started watching her, and she'd just yell at people
我乘上地鐵 開始看著她 她就在朝著人們大喊
She'd say, "You can't sit there!" and stuff, and the people would jump up and move, and stuff
她說 "你不能坐那" 然后那個人就會跳起來離開那里
And, and after a little while I guess she realized I was watching her,
過了一會我猜她已經意識到我在看著她了
and she smiled at me and she said,
她朝我微笑著說
"Half of the general grouch session about what bothers us in America,
那些發牢騷的會議有一半是在講在美國困擾我們的事情
I'm carrying driver's rage 'cause I'm having ground heat seeking missiles installed behind my grill"
我跟司機一樣火大 因為我的烤架后面竟然裝了熱追蹤導彈
And so when somebody does something stupid, I just pulverize 'em , you know?
當有人做出愚蠢之事的時候 我只能粉碎他們 懂么
And it's gone
然后它就不會出現
It's expensive, but you know, I figured it'd be good fun
這很貴 但是我覺得它會很有趣
Next time we'll see the great books, La Mort, d'Arthur based on Mallory's work, but it goes far a field and does some really interesting stuff
下次上課我們講這幾本偉大的書 亞瑟王之死 它基于馬洛里的作品 卻又超出他很多 里面有許多很有趣的東西
Then we'll pick up the next time and talk about Chrétien, and so you want to read the first part of Eric
下次我們再繼續講 討論 克雷蒂安 你們要先閱讀艾瑞克的第一部分
If you're real good doobers, you might want to kind of at least glance through the introduction to that book
如果你很愛學習的話 你或許可以至少掃一眼那本書的簡介部分
because there's some good stuff in there
因為那有一些好東西
But I'm pretty much of a realist and know that I can say that but, that doesn't mean it'll happen
但我其實是個現實主義者 我可以那么說 但不代表那一定是那樣的
Have a nice sunny day. See you next time
祝你們有明媚美好的一天 下次見
