生出可爱的北鼻
of bringing a lovely baby into the world,
但这不是我们的选项
but it’s just not our choice.
满怀希望
The idea of waddling around happily expectant…
从医院带回来一个新生儿
and then bringing a little tiny newborn home from the hospital…
关上门 住在小小的窝
and closing the door and… living in a little cocoon,
远离世界
all away from the world…
那对我来说不切实际
It’s just not really me.

And, er… this, this is my room.
其实是间火车室
Well, it’s the train’s room, really.
洛琳不明白我为什么在这花那么多时间
Lorraine doesn’t understand why I spend so much time in here.
但这总有忙不完的事 有的要修改 有的要修理
But there’s always something to do, something to improve, something to fix.
得花时间仔细看
You just have to take the time to look at it,
花心思 就像带小孩
carefully, like a child would.
麦可会喜欢吗
Do you think Michael would like it?
他喜欢卡车
He likes lorries…
