场景一：咨询关系的建立
Sean So, if I asked you about art,you'd probably give me the skinny on Every art book ever written. (如果我问你艺术,你可能会提出艺术书籍中的粗浅论调。)
Michelangelo. You know a lot about him: life's work, politicalaspirations, him and the Pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right? (有关米开朗基罗,你知道很多，他的满腔政治热情，与教皇相交莫逆，耽于性爱，你对他很清楚吧?)
But I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the SistineChapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautifulceiling…seeing that. (但你连西斯汀教堂的气味也不曾嗅到?你未曾站在那儿，昂首眺望天花板上的名画吧?可是我见过。)
If I ask you about women, you'llprobably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even beenlaid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to awoman and feel truly happy. (如果我问关于女人的事， 你大可以向我如数家珍，你可能上过几次床，但你没法说出当自己在女人身旁醒来时，那份涌自内心真正的喜悦。)
You're a tough kid. And I ask youabout war, you'd probably, uh, throw Shakespeare at me, right? "Once moreonto the breach, dear friends…"(你年轻彪悍，我如果和你谈论战争，你会向我大抛莎士比亚， 朗诵“共赴战场，亲爱的朋友”)
But you've never been near one. You've never held your bestfriend's head in your lap…and watched him gasp his last breath, lookin' to youfor help. (但你从未亲临战阵，未试过把挚友的头拥入怀里，看着他吸着最后一口气，凝望着你，垂死向你求助。)
I ask you about love, you'llprobably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totallyvulnerable……(我问你何为爱情，你可能只会吟风弄月，但你未试过全情投入真心倾倒，)
Known someone that could level you with her eyes……feelin' like Godput an angel on earth just for you……who could rescue you from the depths ofhell……(四目交投时彼此了解对方的心，好比上帝安排天使下凡只献给你，把你从地狱深渊拯救出来)
And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel……to have thatlove for her, be there forever…through anything…through cancer. (对她百般关怀的感受你也从未体会，你从未对她情深款款矢志厮守，明知她患了绝症也再所不惜，你从未尝试过痛失挚爱的感受。)
And you wouldn't know aboutsleeping sittin' up in a hospital room for two months, holding her hand,because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms "visitinghours" don't apply to you. (你也从未经历过在她的病床前坚定不移地陪伴，紧握着她的纤手，因为医生知道你根本就不在乎“探访时间”的明文约束。)
Youdon't know about real loss……'cause that only occurs when you love somethingmore than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody thatmuch. (你并没有体会过“失去”的真正意义...因为只有在你爱某人甚于自身时才会领悟。我怀疑你从未付出过这样的爱。)
I look at you.I don't see anintelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared-shitless kid. (现在我看着你，眼前所见并非一位聪敏、自信的男人，而是一个无耻狂妄、内心恐惧的孩子)
But you're a genius, Will. No one denies that. No one couldpossibly understand the depths of you. (但是你是个天才，威尔。这是毋庸置疑的。没人可以完全认识到你的深度。)
But you presume to know everythingabout me, because you saw a painting of mine. You ripped my fuckin' lifeapart. (但是你在我的油画上瞥过一眼、就以为了解了我的一切?你的狂言糟蹋了我的人生!)
You're an orphan, right? Do youthink I know the first thing about how hard your life has been? How you feel?Who you are? Because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you?(你是个孤儿吧?但你认为我能看穿你的悲惨生活、认识你的全部，仅仅因为我读过《雾都孤儿》?莫非它能简化你的人生?)
Personally, I don't give a shit about all that. Because you knowwhat? I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some fuckin' book. (个人而言，我对此漠不关心。因为你知道吗?我无法通过一些破书来认识你的一点一滴。)
Unless, you wanna talk aboutyou…who you are. Then I 'm fasciated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that, doyou? You're terrified of what you might say.(除非你先谈论自己，告诉我你到底是谁。于是我对此着迷，我愿意来帮助你。但是你并不想这么做，是吗?你甚至还怕你会被说出来的话吓到。)
场景二：解释爱情
Will——This girl's, like, perfect right now. I don't wanna ruin that.
威尔：在我眼中，这女孩现在很完美。我并不想破坏这种完美。
Sean——Maybe you're perfect right now. Maybe you don't wanna ruin that. But I think that's a super philosophy. That way, you can go through your entire life without ever having to really know anybody.
肖恩：也许现在是你很完美，也许你并不想破坏你自己的完美。但我觉得这是一个极妙的哲理，因为这样你可以一辈子不用认识任何人。
People call these things "imperfections," but they're not.That's the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.
人们称之为“瑕疵”，但其实不然。“不完美”那才是好东西，能选择让谁进入我们的小世界。
You're not perfect. And let me save you the suspense.This girl you met, she isn't perfect either.But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.That's the whole deal. That's what intimacy is all about.Now you can know everything in the world, but the only way you're findin' out that one is by givin' it a shot.
你并不是完美的，我也不想吊你胃口。我想说的是，你认识的那个女孩，也不是完美的，但关键是你们能否完美的适应彼此。亲密关系就是这么回事。你可以了解世间万物，但追根溯源的唯一途径便是亲身尝试。
场景三：解释心灵伴侣
Do you have a soul mate?-Define that.-Somebody who challenges you.I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you, touches your soul.
-你有“心灵伴侣”吗?-什么意思?-那些可以与你匹敌的人。我是指那些能使你敞开心扉、触动你心灵的人。
- I got.- Who?- I got plenty.Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Kant, Pope, Locke--That's great. They're all dead.- Not to me they're not.
-有啊。-谁?-有很多呢。莎士比亚、尼采、弗洛斯特、奥康纳、康德、蒲柏、洛克...-很好，但是他们都死了。-对我而言不是这样。
- You don't have a lot of dialogue with them.You can't give back to them.That's what I'm saying.You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world...where you're always afraid to take the first step,because all you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road.
-你无法与他们对话，你无法回应他们你的想法。这就是我的意思。你现在绝对不会有心灵伴侣，因为你总是看到负面的事，但实际上差得很远。
场景四：最后一课
Sean-It's not your fault...
肖恩：这不是你的错...
