找
Delsey.
医生,我要晚一点才能来推销。
p>
I
was

Osteo
National.
Right.

still...
Half
an
hour
Yes.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Thank you, thank you.
wonder:

That was my stolen
machine. Unless she was with a guy who sold them
too.
unless:
除非
那是我被偷的仪器,除非跟她在一起的那家伙也是做这行的。
Which was unlikely ...because I was the
only one selling them in the Bay Area.
unlikely:
不大可能发生的
不过可能性不大,因为旧金山海湾地区,销售此仪器的仅我一家。

a
revolutionary
machine.
Can you feel it, baby
entire:

-Chris: What I didn't know is that
doctors and hospitals...would consider them
unnecessary luxuries.
unnecessary:
不必要的
luxury:
奢侈
但是我没想到,医院的医生们会认为它是没用的奢侈品。
I even asked the landlord to take a
picture. So if I lost one, it was like losing
a month' groceries.
landlord:
房东
grocery:
(美国俚语)必需之物
我甚至请房东
给我们照了相,所以丢了一台仪器就意味着损失了一个月的伙食。

<
/p>
听着,我要赶去诺亚谷,
Chris
你保
重。
-Chris:
Mr.

Actually,
I'm
on

also.
How
about
we
share
a ride
Twistle
先生,我正好也要去诺亚谷,我搭个车怎么样
-Twistle: All right, get in.
好吧,上车吧。
-Chris:
All right. So when I was in the Navy, I worked for
a doctor...who loved to
play golf,
hours every day...
好的,我在海军服役
时为一个医生工作,他很喜欢高尔夫,每天都要花很多时间在那上面。
And
I
would
actually
perform
medical
procedures...when
he'd
leave
me
in
the
office.
actually:
实际上
perform:
执行
procedure:
手续
我还得替他处理医疗事务,当他不在的时候。

position
where
I
have
to
make
decisions
and...
Mr.
Twistle,
listen. This is a
very important...
position:
立场
我习惯于做出抉择,而且…

really messed it up.

让我看看,给我。哦,你真是拼的一团糟啊。

-Chris: It
looks like it works around a swivel, so the center
pieces never move.
So if it's yellow in
the center, that's the yellow side.
swivel:
(
使
)
旋转
看起来这些是围绕一个轴心转动,
中间的这部分保持不动,
p>
所以说如果中间那片是黄色这面
就应该是黄色的。
< br>
If it's red in the center, that's
the red side.
如果中间那片是红色,那么这面就应该是红色的。
-Twistle: Okay.

can.

do.

there.

in
there
That
maybe
happiness
is
something
that
we can only pursue.
他是怎么知道要把
“追求幸福”那部分放进去的也许幸福是只能去追求。
