So when I look at my own life, you know, I have to admit, right? that I...
所以當我審視我的人生，我必須得承認，我發現...
I've never been around a bunch of guns or violence, you know, not really. No political intrigue or a helicopter crash, right?
我從來沒有經歷過槍林彈雨或是暴力事件，起碼沒真正體驗過。沒有什么政治陰謀，也沒什么直升機失事。
But my life, from my own point of view, has been full of drama, right?
但是我的人生，從我個人觀點來看，仍然是富有戲劇性的。
And so I thought, if I could write a book that could capture what it's like to really meet somebody.
于是我想也許我也能寫本書，記錄下我見到某人時的感覺。
I mean, the most exciting things that's ever happened to me is really to meet somebody, make that connection.
我是說，我經歷過的最刺激的事情，就是真正遇見某個人，讓兩個人心靈相通。
And if I could make that valuable, you know, to capture that. That would be the attempt, or...
而如果我能為那次相遇賦予價值，抓住那一刻的感覺。那就是我的寫作意圖了，或者...
Did I answer your question?
你滿意我的回答嗎？
I'll try to be more specific. Were there ever a French young woman on a train you met and spent an evening with?
我試著說的更具體些吧，真的有那個人嗎，你在火車上遇見并共度良宵的年輕法國女郎？
See, to me, that...I mean that's not important, you know?
這個，對我來說...我是說... 這并不重要，你懂嗎？
So that's a yes?
就是說的確有了？
All right, since I'm in France and this is the last stop of my book tour, yes. -Thank you.
好吧，既然我人在法國，這又是我簽名售書的最后一站，那就算有吧。-謝謝。
Mr. Wallace, the book ends on an ambiguous note.
華萊士先生，這本書的結尾給我們留下了懸念。
We don't know. Do you think they get back together in six months Iike they promise each other?
我們不知道。你認為他們六個月之后會重聚嗎？就像他們彼此承諾的那樣？
Like they promised? Well, I think how you answer that, you know, is...It's a good test, right? if you're a romantic or a cynic.
像他們保證的？我認為這個問題實際上是個...是個很好的測試，對吧？看看你到底是喜歡浪漫還是對它嗤之以鼻。
Right? I mean, you think they get back together, right? You don't, for sure. -No.
我是說，你認為他們會重聚的，對吧？顯然你并不這么認為。-是的。
And you hope they do, but, you know, you're not sure. That's why you're asking the question.
還是你希望他們會，不過你無法肯定。所以你才問這個問題。
Do you think they get back together? I mean, did you in real life?
你認為他們會重聚嗎？我是說你們重聚了嗎，在現實生活中？
Did I in real...? Look, in the words of my grandfather, okay:
我在現實生活中...？要用我祖父的話來說啊：
"To answer that would take the piss out of the whole thing."
“說得太明白這事兒就沒意思了。”
