我从没跟你说过这些

不过夏凡纳教授在巴黎的演说…
but Dr. Chavannes’ lecture
in Paris…
我等着要见他
I waited to see him.
我希望他能收我做他的学生

accept me as a student.
他说如果我掌握不了汉语 梵语…
And he told me that if I didn’t
master Chinese, Sanskrit,
藏语和日语
Tibetan and Japanese,
我就成不了伟大的东方学者
I would never become
a great Orientalist.
你不是跟他说过…
But didn’t you tell him
你只想学习汉语吗?
you wanted to study
only the Chinese language?
我说过
I did.
我说过我一直在学汉语
I told him that
I’d been studying Chinese
学了六个月 每天六小时

to the blackboard.
写了20个字

some 20 characters on it,
叫我读出来

to pronounce them

要想掌握汉语
In order to master Chinese,
就必须遵循汉语思维逻辑
one must have
the memory of Mandarin.

我记得有个案例
I remember hearing
about another case,
一个牧师被雷击中
a priest hit by lightning.
全身都烧伤
Burned over his whole body
还能生存好多年
and would survive
many years afterwards.
是真的 他成了瞎子和哑巴
True, he was left
blind and mute,
我们的病人也有可能
as our man is also probably.
不要说太大声 他可能得听到
Don’t talk so loud.
Maybe he can hear you.
我就是想他听到
I want him to hear me.
让我们看看他有什么反应
或许他根本就没哑
Let’s see how he’ll react.
Maybe he isn’t mute at all.
不!
No!
没哑!
Not mute! Not mute!
试试说些话 什么也可以

anything.

But the x-rays show
that, uh,
