可以把帽子和手套堆在多出的那张椅子上
and if we pile the extra chair with our hats and gloves,
这样就没人会跟我们挤一桌了
nobody can sit with us.

她无法入睡 但她不肯吃药
She can’t sleep, but she won’t take anything for it
因为她觉得那就不是她自己了
because then she doesn’t feel like herself.
她说这其实本该更能吸引她买♥♥药
She says that should actually be a selling point,
但她已经习惯了自己原本的样子

二十年后
美国建筑师和建筑商协会
The Architects and Builders Association
最近让三百名
of America recently polled
建筑系研究生进行投票
300 architectural graduate students
选出他们最欣赏的建筑师
and asked them which architects they admire most.
名单跟大部分人预想的一样
The list is what most would expect.
但除了弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特
But tucked amongst the Frank Lloyd Wrights,
米斯·范·德·罗
Mies van der Rohes,
弗兰克·盖里 以及洛伦佐·皮亚诺斯
Frank Gehrys, and Lorenzo Pianos
还有一位几乎无人知晓的女性名列其中
is a woman who is virtually unknown.
伯纳黛特·福克斯 建筑界的一大谜题
Bernadette Fox, one of architecture’s true enigmas,
她卓越非凡的原因有很多
is extraordinary for many reasons.
她曾是一名在男性主导的职业中
She was a young woman practicing solo
孤军奋战的年轻姑娘
in a male-dominated profession.
麦克阿瑟奖金最年轻的得主
The youngest architect ever to win a MacArthur grant.
她手工打造的家具被美国民间艺术博物馆
Her handmade furniture stands in the permanent collection
纳为永久收藏品
of the American Folk Art Museum.
她被认为是绿色建筑运动的先驱
She’s considered a pioneer of the green building movement.
二十年前 她退出了建筑界
She dropped out of architecture 20 years ago,
此后再无任何设计作品
and has designed nothing since.
这些成就单独列出一样
Alone, any of these attributes
都能让一位建筑师名垂史册
would make an architect noteworthy.
而它们加在一切 则诞生了一位偶像
Taken together, an icon was born.
我想伯纳黛特最令我们吃惊的
I guess what struck us about Bernadette
是她在任务中获得的快乐
was the joy that she took in tasks
杰伊·罗斯
格雷夫斯建筑设计公♥司♥高级合伙人
是其他学生不屑于体会的
that other students would find beneath them.
福克斯曾作为最年轻的成员
Fox was the most junior member of a group
随队被指派给了伯班克的迪士尼大楼团队
assigned to the Team Disney Building in Burbank.
怀特·迪士尼工作室
她的第一份工作是典型的枯燥工作
Her first job was typical grunt work,
在行政大楼安排洗手间的布局
laying out bathrooms in the executive wing.
她想知道高管们开会的频率
I mean, she wanted to know how often the executives
都在一天中的什么时段
went to meetings, at what time of day,
男女的比例等
the ratio of men to women.
最后我终于忍♥不住问她 “你在搞什么鬼”
I finally asked her, “What the hell are you doing?”
而她回答说 “我得知道我的设计
And she said, “I need to know what problems”
需要解决哪些问题”
“I’m solving with my design.”
我想说那时我就意识到了
You know, I would like to say that I recognized
她将要展现出的才华
the talent that would emerge.
不过我真的很喜欢
Although I did like the sweater
她为我织的毛衣
that she knitted for me.
我其实现在还留着 就在这里 看
I actually, I-I still have it. Here, look.
看看
Look at this.
非常有意思
Pretty interesting.
我妻子曾想让我捐给慈善机构 但我说
My wife wanted me to give it to Goodwill, but I said,
“不行 我要留着”
“Mm-mm. I’m keeping it.”
此后不久 福克斯遇到了埃尔金·布兰奇
