– 嗨,先生Owett。 – 嘿,维达。
– Hi, Mr. Owett. – Hey, Veda.
– 文章怎么样了? – 很好。
– How’s your report coming? – Great.
我有什么好说的,我都不知道从哪里开始。
I have so much to say, I hardly know where to start.
我一直在重读弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫。我想她对你来说不错。
I’ve been rereading Virginia Woolf. I think she’d be a natural for you.
她引领这一种迷人的生活。
She led a fascinating life.
谢谢,但我认为我会坚持写我的妈妈。
Thanks, but I think I’m gonna stick to my mum.
她也引领这一种迷人的生活。
She led a fascinating life, too.
我敢肯定。
I’m sure she did.
他给你一个简单的了建议,所以你不会写你的母亲了。

它只是一直存在。

然后,她又做了什么呢?
Then what did she do?
好了,我不应该谈论这事…
Well, I’m not supposed to talk about it…
但因为我要去写这事,我也可以告诉你。
…but since I’m going to write about it, I might as well tell you.
她是一个对抗俄♥罗♥斯♥的间谍。
She was a spy against the Russians.
你觉得自己是在跟谁开玩笑吗?
Please. Who do you think you’re kidding?
她在哪里监视俄♥国♥人的呢?
And where did she spy on the Russians from?
在这里,在宾夕法尼亚州吗?
Here in Pennsylvania?
不,不是在宾夕法尼亚州。
No, not here in Pennsylvania.
她用她的剧团做掩护去俄♥罗♥斯♥卧底 …
She went to Russia undercover with her acting troupe…
…,得到了很多高度敏感的秘密计划。
…and got a lot of highly sensitive secret plans sent back.
就在她要回家时,她被抓住了,他们杀了她。
Just when she was about to go home, she got caught and they killed her.
所以,当她怀了你的时候,她在演出…
So, when did she have you between all of her acting…

…and spying and getting caught?
这很简单。
That’s simple.
当她去到俄♥罗♥斯♥前怀上了我,但并不知道。
She was pregnant with me when she went to Russia, but didn’t know.
当俄♥国♥人发现了她,都热切地盼望着杀了她。
When the Russians found out, they waited to shoot her.
在世界上的任何地方都是不允许杀孕妇的。
You’re not allowed to kill pregnant women anywhere in the world.
所以,她不得不在俄♥罗♥斯♥监狱里把你生下来?
So she had you in jail in Russia?
嗯,其实,我出生在西伯利亚,然后苏联人枪杀了她…
Well, actually, I was born in Siberia and then they shot her…
…送我回到我爸爸家。
…and sent me home to my dad.
如果废话会穿胸罩的话,你站都站不稳。

来吧,朱迪。
Come on, Judy.
问其他人。去问我爸爸。
Ask anyone. Ask my dad.
这可能是真的。
It could be true.
当一个人没什么可说的时候,怎么会讲了这么多
