Twistle先生，我是Chris Gardner。

你好。

我得在你进去之前亲自把这个交给您和您认识一下。希望有机会能和您坐下聊聊我申请表上看起来比较薄弱的几点。

好的，先生，祝您愉快。

你也是。

-Chris: Hey, yeah, how you doing? This is Chris Gardner calling for Dr. Delsey. Yeah, I'm running a little late for a sales call. I was wondering if... Yeah, Osteo National. Right. We can still...? Half an hour? Yes. Beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you, thank you.

嗨，你好，我是Chris Gardner，想找一下Delsey医生。我要晚一点才能来推销。能不能...... 对，Osteo公司，对。我们能不能...... 半小时后？太好了，没问题，谢谢，谢谢！

-Chris: Hey! Hey! Hey! This part of my life... Wait! This part here... it's called "Running." Hey! Hey! Wait! Hey! Wait! That was my stolen machine, unless she was with a guy who sold them too, which was unlikely because I was the only one selling them in the Bay Area. I spent our entire life savings on these things. It was such a revolutionary machine. Can you feel it, baby?

嘿！嘿！嘿！我人生的这部分，站住！眼前的这部分......叫做“追赶”。嘿！嘿！等一下！嘿！等一下！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。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。我把所有的积蓄都押在这上面了，押在这台革命性的仪器上了。亲爱的，你感觉到了吗？

-Chris: What I didn't know is that doctors and hospitals would consider them unnecessary luxuries. I even asked the landlord to take a picture. So if I lost one, it was like losing a month' groceries. Hey, hey! Wait! Wait! Hey, get back here!

但是我没想到，医院的医生们会认为它是没用的奢侈品。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。嘿！嘿！等一下，等一下！嘿！回来！

-Chris: Hey, hey. What do you mean? You don't know that that's a basketball. This could be an ant farm. This could be a microscope or anything.

随便怎么着吧，Chris。

-Chris: What the hell you got an attitude about? "Whatever" what?

你这是什么态度？随便什么？

-Linda: Every day's got some damn story.

每天都他妈的有故事。

-Chris: Hey, Roy. Roy! Can you... can you beat your little rug when nobody's out here? There's dust and shit all over the place.
