[00:00.01]But as a parent let me tell you something about parents. 但作為家長，讓我告訴你們關(guān)于父母的一些事情。 [00:07.08]Despite all rational impulses, despite all evidence to the contrary, 盡管父母會(huì)有一些合理的沖動(dòng)行為，盡管所有的證據(jù)都證明父母的有些行為是不對(duì)的， [00:12.08]despite what we think you do to us and what you think we do to you—and yes, 盡管我們都認(rèn)為對(duì)方的所作所為令自己不滿意—— [00:17.36]it is often hell on both sides—the plain, unvarnished truth is we love you. Simply, profoundly, utterly. 而且有時(shí)候雙方都覺得很傷心——但有一點(diǎn)是簡單而樸實(shí)的，那就是我們愛你。這種愛樸實(shí)無華卻又深刻而徹底。 [00:28.54]I remember, back in the mists of time, yes, the parents, you see.Yeah. And love them too, Daniel. 回顧過去，我記得，是的，你知道的，我的父母，你也愛他們，丹尼爾。 [00:52.07]I remember, back in the mists of time, my Dad greeting me off the train at Durham railway station. 回顧過去，我記得又一次我父親到達(dá)拉姆火車站接我。那時(shí)，我在牛津大學(xué)上學(xué)。 [01:00.18]I was a student at Oxford.

I had been away for my first year and was coming home. 所以在牛津上學(xué)對(duì)我來說很重要。上完了第一個(gè)學(xué)年，我就要回家了。 [01:14.36]I stepped off the train. My hair was roughly the length of Rumpelstiltskin's and unwashed.I had no shoes and no shirt. 下了火車，我披著臟兮兮的幾乎和侏儒怪一樣長的頭發(fā)，光著腳丫子，而且還沒有穿襯衫， [01:26.47]My jeans were torn—and this was in the days before this became a fashion item. Worst of all, we had just moved house. 牛仔褲也破爛不堪——這些在當(dāng)時(shí)還沒有成為一種時(shí)尚。更糟的是，我們剛換了房子， [01:36.30]Mum had thrown out the sitting room drapes. I had retrieved them and made a sleeveless long coat with them. 母親把客廳的窗簾扔掉了，我把它撿回來做了一件無袖的大衣。
