实习生 The Intern

弗洛伊德说过 生命中唯一重要的事情
Freud said, “Love and work. Work and love.
是爱情和工作
“That’s all there is.”
我已退休 我妻子也已去世
Well, I’m retired, and my wife is dead.
正如你们能想到的 我手头有了些时间忙活
As you can imagine, that’s given me some time on my hands.
我妻子已去世三年半
My wife’s been gone for three and a half years.
我非常想念她 至于退休生活
I miss her in every way. And retirement?
我一直在不停地寻求新意
That is an ongoing, relentless effort in creativity.
我承认起初我喜欢这股新鲜劲
At first, I admit I enjoyed the novelty of it.
感觉有点像在旷工
Sort of felt like I was playing hooky.
我用尽了所有存着的里程数 环游了世界
I used all the miles I’d saved and traveled the globe.
问题是 无论我去了哪
The problem was, no matter where I went,
我一回到家 那种无处可去的感觉
as soon as I got home, the nowhere-to-be thing
让我深受打击
hit me like a ton of bricks.
我意识到这一切的关键是永不止步
I realized the key to this whole deal was to keep moving.
起身离家 去别的地方 随便哪里
Get up, get out of the house, and go somewhere. Anywhere.
无论雨晴 每天7点15分前 我就在星巴克了
Come rain or shine, I’m at my Starbucks by 7:15.
不好意思 介意我们同桌吗
Excuse me, mind if we join you here?
-不介意 -嘿 你好吗
-No. -Hey. How are you?
我没法解释
Can’t explain it,
但这让我有存在感
but it makes me feel part of something.
今天这些人 他们不在意数字
These guys today, they’re not numbers guys.
别和他们谈数字
Don’t talk figures with them.
我要怎么度过我的余生
How do I spend the rest of my days?
打高尔夫 看书 看电影 玩纸牌
You name it. Golf, books, movies,
你们能想到的我都试过
pinochle.
还试过瑜伽 学过下厨
Tried yoga, learned to cook,
买♥♥过植物 上过中文课
bought some plants, took classes in Mandarin.
翻译下就是 相信我 我什么都试过了
Translation, “Believe me, I’ve tried everything.”
然后 当然 还有葬礼
And then, of course, there are the funerals.
多得超乎想像
So many more than I could imagine.
近来我唯一的远行是外出去圣地亚哥
The only traveling I do these days is out to San Diego
拜访我儿子和他的家人
to visit my son and his family.
他们很棒 我爱死他们了
They’re great. I love ’em to pieces.
但说实话 我想我大概是太过
But to be honest, I think I probably relied on them
依赖他们了
way more than I should.
别误会 我不是一个不快乐的人
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an unhappy person.
正相反
Quite the contrary.
我只是清楚我的人生有一个洞
I just know there’s a hole in my life,
我得去填补它
and I need to fill it.
得尽快而为
Soon.
