奇幻人生（2006）

尽管就是树
…it is a tree.
为什么哈罗德要和这个人谈话？
Why was Harold talking to this man?
这人是个傻冒
This man was an idiot.
这人用“忽忽悠悠”、“唠嗑”这样的词
This man used words like ”wibbly-wobbly” and ”convo. ”
还解释说树是树
And explained that trees were trees.
树当然是树
Of course trees were trees.
哈罗德知道树是树
Harold knew trees were trees.
我要相信你了，哈罗德
I am going to beIieve you, HaroId.
哈罗德不知道的是
What Harold didn’t know was why he couldn’t shake…
为何他忘不掉那褐色的气味
…the smell of brownies from his senses.
为何帕斯卡女士 让他指尖颤抖，双唇紧闭
Why Ms. Pascal had made his fingertips quiver and lips go numb.
哈罗德？
HaroId?
抱歉
Yes? Sorry.
怎么了，哈罗德？
What’s going on, HaroId?
嗯…
WeII….
没什么，都很好
Nothing. Everything’s fine.
听着，根据你的记录…
Listen, according to your records…
你这几年都没休过假
…you haven’t taken vacation in a few years now.
去休息休息吧
Let’s say you take a IittIe break.
使用点假期
Use some of that vaca time.
嗯，我会考虑一下的
Yeah. I’II think about it.
哈罗德
HaroId.
我真不应该这样做，但…
I’m not reaIIy supposed to do this, but….
哈罗德简单地认为他的手表出故障了
Harold assumed his watch was simply on the fritz…
从没想过它也许想告诉他什么
…and never even considered that it might be trying to tell him something.
实际上，哈罗德从没注意过他的表…
ln fact, Harold had never once paid attention to his watch…
除了看看时间
…other than to find out the time.
老实说，这把他的表逼疯了
And, honestly, it drove his watch crazy.
所以，在这个特别的星期三的傍晚…
And so, on this particular Wednesday evening…
正当哈罗德等公车，他的表…
…as Harold waited for the bus, his watch suddenly…
停了
…stopped.
对不起，有人知道时间吗？
Sorry, does anyone have the time?
嗯，我这是6点18 – 谢谢
Yeah, I got 6:1 8. -Thanks.
这样哈罗德的表把他送上一条不归路
Thus Harold’s watch thrust him into the immitigable path of fate.
他毫不知晓这个表面上无害的动作…
Little did he know that this simple, seemingly innocuous act…
会导致他即将到来的死亡
…would result in his imminent death.
什么？什么？
What? What?
嘿！哈罗！
Hey! HeIIo?
什么！
What?
为什么？
Why?
为什么我会死？
Why my death?
哈罗！
HeIIo!
劳驾！
Excuse me!
什么时候？
When?
有多近？
How imminent?
好吧，你在哪？
Okay, where are you?
“哈罗德刷他32颗牙齿72遍”
”HaroId wouId brush his 32 teeth 72 times.”
你为什么不说话？ 我听得见你
Why won’t you say anything? I heard you.
“这会导致他即将到来的死亡”
”That wouId resuIt in his imminent death.”
我听见你了！
I heard you!
快出来，你这弱智声音
Come on, you stupid voice.
“哈罗德狂暴地抓起他的台灯
”HaroId franticaIIy grabbed his Iamp.
哈罗德愤怒地，无缘由地 把它扔了出去
HaroId, incensed, shook the heII out of it for no apparent reason!
把它摔在地上，一个劲地踢
And smashed it on the ground, kicking it repeatedIy!
哈罗德拿起他的面巾纸盒 扔到屋子另一边…
HaroId took his KIeenex box, threw it across the room…
然后对着衣橱爆发了
…then stormed the cIoset!”
来啊，说话啊
Come on. Say something.
说话啊！
Something. Say something!
说话啊！
Say something!
“哈罗德，发狂的…”
”HaroId, distraught….”
天啊
God.
“哈罗德，发狂的…”
”HaroId, distraught….”
“哈罗德…”
”HaroId….”

What if what I said was true?
假设我就是故事的一部分，有个讲述者
