Hey, Mike. So my mom's wedding is in a couple days, and I know you sent back that little card saying you were coming and that you preferred beef,
嗨，mike。過幾天是我媽媽的婚禮，我知道你送回了那個小卡片說你會來，還喜歡牛肉
which, actually I changed to fish for you because I tasted the beef.
不過我換成魚了，因為我嘗過牛肉了。
Anyways, I know that was before we, you know...
不管怎樣，我知道那是在我們分手之前的事了。
Send your mom my apologies, but I won't be attending.
替我對你媽媽說聲對不起，但是，我不會參加的。
Oh. I hope that's not just because of us not being us anymore. I mean, we could be together at a wedding and it wouldn't have to be weird.
我希望那不是因為我們分手的原因。我的意思是，我們可以一起出席婚禮宴會啊。那樣并不會顯得很不自然。
It'd be weird.
那樣會很不自然的。
Of course. Yeah, I see that.
當然，是的。我明白了。
Oh, uh. So what have you been doing lately?
那么你近來有什么安排?
Oh, just the usual.
哦，和往常一樣。
Well, I've been writing a book. It's sort of autobiographical.
那好，我最近在寫一本書，有幾分自傳體的感覺。
Really been forcing me to reexamine some of the different things that have made me,
寫書讓我去自省我之所以如今這樣的經歷，
like the fact that my mother had me so young, and I never knew my dad. Big stuff like that.
比如我媽媽年輕的時候就有了我，我從不知道我父親是誰，諸如此類的事情。
I told you about my dad, right? He was a Merchant Marine, and his platoon was killed in the Battle of Hanoi?
我和你說過我父親，對嗎?他... 他是一個商船隊的船員，他們在河內戰役的時候被殺了?
That's strange.
那很奇怪啊。
Why?
為什么？
Well, Hanoi wasn't enemy territory. There wasn't a battle there.
嗯，河內不是敵方的區域。那里也沒有戰役發生。
Are you sure? That's what my mom said.
你確信嗎？那是我媽媽說的。
I'm pretty sure, yeah. The Merchant Marines don't fight. They deliver supplies on ships.
我非常明確。商船隊不參戰的。他們只是負責船上的補給。
Oh. Well, clearly I have more research to do.
哦，看來我還得好好研究研究。
So, what do you think? My life story, would you rush out and buy a copy?
那么你有什么想法？我的生活經歷。你會迫不及待的買一本嗎?
Susan...
Susan...
Yeah?
什么？
You really need to step back.
你應該退后一點。
