幼儿园教师

Wow. It sounds so advanced.
-他几岁了 -五岁半 真是难以置信
– How old is he? – Five and a half. It’s extraordinary.
我是说 莱妮和乔什在他那个年纪
I mean, cos Lainie and Josh
也认识好多字了 但是
knew lots of words at that age, but…
就像一种感召
It conjures a feeling.
太特别了
So specific.
他信教吗
Is he religious?
我想应该不信
No, I don’t think so.
那就奇怪了 年纪轻轻就写上帝了
Hm. It’s just weird that someone so young would write about God.
有些许的诡异
It’s disturbing, slightly.
为什么这么说
Why do you say that?
为什么用”诡异”这个词呢
Why use the word “disturbing”?
我也不知道
Er, I don’t know.
应该也不能说是诡异
It’s not disturbing, I suppose.
应该说是 奇异
It’s, er, more like… Peculiar.
这些上帝什么的 我也不清楚
I mean, the whole God thing, I dunno.
安娜很漂亮
Anna is beautiful
于我而言 已足够漂亮
Beautiful enough for me
日光洒在她的黄色屋顶上
The sun hits her yellow house
近乎是上帝的明示
It is almost like a sign from God
你们觉得呢
What do you guys think?
我喜欢那句”于我而言 已足够漂亮”
I love that line “Beautiful enough for me”.
暗含了太多的东西
It suggests so many things,
感觉像自己不配 或者不看重美貌
like you don’t deserve much or you don’t prioritise beauty.
但是随后美丽这个词被重复提到了
But then the word beautiful is repeated,
所以我觉得在某种程度上你是很重视的
so I feel like you do, in fact, value it in some deep way
所以这就说明你是真的认为安娜很美丽
and that you really find Anna beautiful.
没错 我觉得写得很棒 真的很棒
Yeah. I think it was really good. Really good.
因为你竟然用这么少的元素让整首诗变得
Cos with so few elements, you make something very…
复杂了起来
Very complex.
就好像是一个人看尽了人间的美好
It’s as if it was said by someone that has seen a lot of beauty
但却 只用寥寥数笔来描绘
but now, you know, makes do with very little.
那下周 我希望你们
OK, so for next week, I would like
都留心一些你们觉得无聊的东西
you all to focus on the boring things.
平庸的 单调的
The banal, the mundane.
试试看吧 说不定
Just, you know, try it, and see
写点东西
if the act of writing about something
能把它们变得焕然一新
can transform it into something new.
我们拭目以待
Let’s see.
妓是妓♥女♥的妓 妓是妓♥女♥的妓
Ho is the whore! Ho is the whore!
吉米快走 是侠盗猎车手
Jimmy, let’s go! It’s Grand Theft Auto!
不 不 吉米 不行
No! No! Jimmy, no.
不 那是个不好的词 所有人都不能说
No, that is an awful word. All of you guys.
那个词太重了 你们还是小孩子
That’s a very powerful word, and you guys are just little kids,
在学校里不能说这个词 知道吗
and there is no place for that here, OK?
我知道你们都是好孩子的
I know you guys are better than that.

我知道那些花的感觉
I know how those flowers felt

I’m sorry I had to give you a time-out.
我也不喜欢这样做
I don’t like doing that.

I know you can be steady and use beautiful words.

他在课间休息的时候十分活跃 然后
He was energetic at recess and then he was very quiet,
其余的时候基本什么话都不说
he hardly said a word for the rest of the day.
是啊 他确实挺安静的
Yeah, he does get quiet like that, that’s true.
毕竟 他是个怪小孩
I mean, he’s a weirdo.
贝卡 他平时多久作一首诗
Becca, how often does he compose poems?
我也不知道 大概一周一次吧
Mm, I dunno. Like, once a week?
-或者说每隔几天就 -是吗
– Maybe, like, every few days, he’ll – Really?
突然冒出来
Yeah, he’ll just, like, pop up,
像僵尸一样到处走
start walking back and forth like a zombie,
一个人自言自语
like, mumbling to himself.
在周一之前我从来没见过他这么做
