Something like that.
嘿 失陪
Hey, excuse me.

嘿!
Hey!
我真不知道你会来
Now, I had no idea you were coming.
天啊 本杰明
Lord, Benjamin.
你想要我怎样呢? 难道要我丢下这一切 跟你走吗?
What did you expect? What, you want me to drop everything?
这可是我的人生
Now, this is my life.

What did you do next?
有些照片 我记得 就放在包的前袋里
Some photographs, I think, in the front of my bag.
我那会还挺了不得
I was as good a dancer as I was ever gonna be.
有那么五年 我…
For five years, I…
在世界各地表演
I danced everywhere.
伦敦 维也纳 布拉格
London, Vienna, Prague.
我从没见过这些照片
I’ve never seen these.
妈
Mom.
你从来没提你跳舞的事
You never talked about your dancing.
我还是头一个
Well, I was the only American
受邀 和大剧院舞团共舞的美国人
to be invited to dance with the Bolshoi, sugar.
那真是太棒了
It was glorious.
但我从没忘记本杰明
But Benjamin was never far from my thoughts.
有时候 我会不自觉地说…
And I’d find myself saying…
晚安 本杰明
Good night, Benjamin.
-“晚安 黛西” -他也这么说?
-“Good night, Daisy.” -He said that?
“生活并没有那么复杂
“Life wasn’t all that complicated.
要是你喜欢 大可以说我是在探索生命”
“If you want, you might say I was looking for something.”

谢谢
Thank you.

Miss Daisy Fuller.
-稍等 请先坐一会 -好的
-Just a minute. Please have a seat. -Sure.
有时候 我们的人生轨道会与别人的交错
Sometimes we’re on a collision course
只是不自知罢了
and we just don’t know it.
无论是意外 还是天意
Whether it’s by accident or by design,
我们都无力改变
there’s not a thing we can do about it.
巴黎 一名女子正要出门购物
A woman in Paris was on her way to go shopping.
却发现忘带外套 于是回家去取
But she had forgotten her coat, went back to get it.
她拿起外套 电♥话♥铃响
When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung.
她接起电♥话♥ 聊了一会
So she had stopped to answer it and talked for a couple of minutes.
与此同时
While the woman was on the phone,
黛西正为一场巴黎歌♥剧院的演出彩排
Daisy was rehearsing for a performance at the Paris Opera House.
不久 女子聊完 挂了电♥话♥
And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now,
下楼去招出租车
had gone outside to get a taxi.
另一边 出租车司机 刚刚送完一位客人
Now, a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier,
便停了车 去买♥♥咖啡
and had stopped to get a cup of coffee.
而黛西还在继续排练
And all the while, Daisy was rehearsing.
那位送完了客人
And this cab driver, who dropped off the earlier fare
便去买♥♥咖啡的司机
and had stopped to get the cup of coffee,
正巧接了要去购物的那位女子
he picked up the lady who was going shopping
而那位女子 因为一番延误 刚错过了之前的车
and had missed getting the earlier cab.
车子中途停了一下 因为有人横穿马路
The taxi had to stop for a man crossing the street,
这位男子那天比平时晚起了五分钟
who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did
因为他忘了定闹钟
because he forgot to set his alarm.
那个没定闹钟 早上迟到的人 横穿马路的时候
While that man, late for work, was crossing the street,
黛西已经排练结束 开始冲澡
Daisy had finished rehearsing and was taking a shower.
她在洗澡的时候
And while Daisy was showering,
出租车停在一家糖果店门口 等女客人去取包裹
the taxi was waiting outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package
可包裹还没备好
which hadn’t been wrapped yet,
因为打包的女孩
because the girl who was supposed to wrap it
昨晚刚刚与男友分手 太过伤心而忘了打包
had broken up with her boyfriend the night before and forgot.
包裹打好之后 女子回到车上
When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab,
又被一辆货车挡住了去路
was blocked by a delivery truck.
与此同时 黛西换上了衣服
All the while, Daisy was getting dressed.
货车开走之后 出租才重新上路
The delivery truck pulled away, and the taxi was able to move
而黛西最后一个才穿好衣服
while Daisy, the last to be dressed,
又等了一会断了鞋带的朋友
waited for one of her friends who had broken a shoelace.
出租在路灯处停下时
While the taxi was stopped, waiting for a traffic light,
黛西和她朋友正从剧场后门出来
Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theater.
如果有一件事 有一点点不一样
And if only one thing had happened differently,
如果那鞋带没断
if that shoelace hadn’t broken
如果那货车早一点儿开走
or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier
或者包裹早早备好
or that package had been wrapped and ready
因为男孩没和女孩分手
because the girl hadn’t broken up with her boyfriend,
又或者那男子定了闹钟 和平时一样起床
or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier
再或者司机没有停车喝咖啡
or that taxi driver hadn’t stopped for a cup of coffee
而那女子也带了外套 上了之前的出租
or that woman had remembered her coat and got into an earlier cab,
那么 黛西和她朋友 就会平平安安地穿过马路
Daisy and her friend would have crossed the street
那出租也只是和她们擦身而过
and the taxi would have driven by.
但是 生活没有如果
But, life being what it is,
只有一连串互相交错的意外
a series of intersecting lives and incidents
无人能够控制
out of anyone’s control,
那辆出租没有和她们擦身而过
that taxi did not go by,
而就在那时 司机分了一下神
and that driver was momentarily distracted.
黛西!
Daisy!
车子撞倒了黛西
And that taxi hit Daisy.
黛西! 来人啊!
Daisy! Help!
她的腿 就被撞断了
And her leg was crushed.
黛西?
Daisy?
