My favorite TV show? The Twilight Zone.
我最喜歡的電視節目？是陰陽魔界。
I especially like the episode called The Printers Devil.
我特別喜歡“印刷機惡魔”那集。
It's about a newspaper editor who's being driven out of business by a big newspaper syndicate,
它講的是一位報紙編輯被一個報業巨頭
you know, a group of papers owned by the same people.
即同一個老板擁有多份報紙逼得破產了。
He is about to commit suicide when he is interrupted by an old man who says his name is Smith.
他正要自殺時被一位名叫史密斯的老人打斷了。
The editor is not only offered $5,000 to pay off his newspaper's debts,
編輯不僅被贈送了5000美元來償還債務，
but this Smith character also offers his services for free.
而且史密斯這個人物還免費向他提供服務。
It turns out that the guy operates the printing machine with amazing speed,
結果這個家伙以驚人的速度操作印刷機，
and soon he is turning out newspapers with shocking headlines.
不久他就出了報紙，而且有觸目驚心的頭條新聞。
The small paper is successful again.
這份小報紙又成功了。
The editor is amazed at how quickly Smith gets his stories only minutes after they happen
編輯對史密斯僅在新聞發生后幾分鐘就能迅速獲知這些感到很吃驚，
but soon he's presented with a contract to sign.
但很快他面前有份合同要簽。
Mr. Smith, it seems, is really the devil!
看起來史密斯先生真的是惡魔！
The editor is frightened by this news,
編輯被這個消息嚇到了，
but he is more frightened by the idea of losing his newspaper, so he agrees to sign.
但要失去他的報紙這個想法更讓他害怕，所以他同意簽字。
But soon Smith is reporting the news even before it happens and it's all terrible one disaster after another.
但不久史密斯在新聞發生以前就能做出報道，而且都是一個接一個可怕的災難。
Anyway, there is a little more to tell, but I don't want to ruin the story for you.
總之，還有更多可以講的，但我不想破壞了你對這個故事的興致。
I really like these old episodes of The Twilight Zone because the stories are fascinating.
我確實喜歡陰陽魔界的這些舊情節，因為這些故事很有吸引力。
They are not realistic.
它們不是真實的。
But then again, in a way they are, because they deal with human nature.
但在某種意義上是真的，因為是關于人性的。
