打开心世界（2020）

我还担心我的鸡蛋不够
I was worried I wouldn’t have enough eggs
因为我们出了点意外 -天呐
-because we had an accident. -Oh.
我雇来的帮手拉下一箱鸡蛋 打碎了两打
My hired hand pulled down a box of eggs and broke two dozen.
我宣布他是个倒霉蛋
I announced that he was unlucky to eggs
并且不允许他 再接近它们
and no longer allowed to approach them.
倒霉蛋”我喜欢这个比喻
“Unlucky to eggs.” I like that.
我告诉他 他的衬衫上有很多洞
I told him that his shirt had so many holes,
他可以把它做成项链
he can make a necklace of it.
嗯 我们总想要能雇得起一个帮手
Well, we often wish we could afford a hired hand.
雇工的粗心大意 可让我们吃了不少苦头
We’ve suffered a great deal from the carelessness of hired hands.
据说霍尔特先生雇佣的帮手不顾天气寒冷

芬尼和泰莉的关系使我困惑
Finney and Tallie’s bond confounds me.
有时当他们的目光相遇
At times, when their eyes meet,
他们看起来是敌人
they seem yoked in opposition to one another,
而在其他时间似乎有一个共识
while at other times, there seems a shared regard.
我们之间发生了一些
There is something going on between us
我无法想明白的事

But that’s probably based on
专家的胡说八道
an expert’s consultation of a goose bone.
“在真正的自然危机中我们都任凭他人摆布
“In a real crisis of nature, we’re all at another’s mercy.”
是的
