妙笔生花（2012）

So maybe now this should be a hobby
也许你该把它当成爱好而不是事业
instead of a profession until you get your feet on the ground.

What about Dora?
多拉怎么了

男人的另一面是
Another part of being a man,
无论有多难
no matter how painful it might be,
也得接受事实 承认自己能力有限

他继续写作
“He continued to write,

哪怕有一丝出版的可能
He sent his work anywhere
他都会把作品送过去
they might publish him.
但他收到的回复都是拒绝 没兴趣
But all he heard back was rejection, disinterest,
或者是最有力的声音
or the loudest sound of all,
沉默
silence.

你的作品让我觉得很真实
I just see so much truth in your work.

I can’t believe this. This is…
但不幸的是
But unfortunately,
目前出版业的这种状态
the nature of the publishing business right now,
在这个年代 我不知道
at this particular time, is such that I don’t know
如何去出版这样一本书
how to publish a book like this.
罗里 没有人会买♥♥这种书
Look, Rory, no one is gonna support a book like this.
-这种书 -一个没有名气的作家
– Book like this? – From an unknown writer.
根本没有市场
There’s just no market for it.
任何一个作家 在任何情况下
Now, it’s hard for any writer, under any circumstances,
没有出书♥记♥录都很难出书 而这本书
without a track record to get published. And this book,
它很内敛
I mean, it’s so interior.
内敛 什么意思
Interior? What is that?
美妙 精致 它…
It’s artistic, it’s subtle. It’s…
堪称艺术品
It’s a piece of art.
所以这本书 我还是该束之高阁然后忘掉它
So this book, I should just shelve this and forget about it.
只是… 我花了三年的时间才完成
I just… I spent three years working on it.
我只是想实话实说
I’m just trying to be honest with you.
我只想让你看清现实
I’m just telling you the reality of the situation.
耐心点
Have patience.
如果我不相信你
You know, I wouldn’t have brought
我是不会让你来这儿的
you in here if I really didn’t believe in you.
[各种出版机构的婉拒信]
会好起来的
You’re gonna be fine.
