「some people in this room who actually speak english felt seriously wronged and started—you do get my point—this is exactly why i call the members in this committee weaklings—
「某些與會(huì)人員,明就會(huì)講英文,覺得很冤枉,還氣得跳起來──你各位『明就懂,』在那邊──就是為什么我叫各位委員懦夫──」

「all of you saw the ‘elephant in the room’ but chose to ignore it completely. if there is a pink elephant, let us point it out with our fingers—if there is a big wolf hiding in the wood, lurking to harm our kids—let’s get it, then! why—isn’t it ‘a(chǎn) perfect day for the wolf?’ i don’t see no points that we still sit here and wait for a messiah-like figure to save the day, to remove the threat for us, while we are still far from being late to take action.
「通通有,你各位,明就看見『房間里的大象,』還給我視而不見。要房里有粉紅色大象,就給我指出來,用各位的手指頭──要有一頭大野狼,躲在樹林里,等著害我們家小孩──就抓起來!為啥──今天不就『逮狼的良辰吉時(shí)?』搞不懂,我們干嘛坐著不動(dòng),枯等某個(gè)救世主般的人物,蹦出來拯救世界,替我們剷除隱患;明就還不算太遲,給我動(dòng)起來!」

「i regretted it, i deeply regretted that i failed to be that ‘catcher in the rye’ when there was a kid, an absolutely lovely sweetheart, who just ran straight toward the ‘crazy cliff,’ while still within arm’s reach—i could have caught her in my arms [a catch in her throat]. i regretted that we just let it happen, as she just fell over the nest, without the slightest chance to grow up and learn to flutter her little but brave[1] wings—」
「我很后悔,深深地后悔,沒能扮演好稱職的『麥田捕手,』明明就有個(gè)小孩,超級(jí)無敵可愛寶貝蛋,就這樣直直衝向『扯到爆懸崖,』明就伸長(zhǎng)臂膀搆得著的距離──我明就有機(jī)會(huì)緊緊接在懷里【哽咽】。我好后悔,我們就任由憾事發(fā)生;她就這樣跌出鳥巢,根本沒絲毫機(jī)會(huì),沒能長(zhǎng)大、學(xué)會(huì)鼓動(dòng)那對(duì)小小、美麗的翅膀──」

「oh, oh, some people are sweeping away the person they disagree with—fine by me, i know i am never welcome here. the moment i stepped into this school, i’d already known you all hated me to the bone. you all see me as an outsider, if not a pariah—which is fine. i know the honest outsider always gets expelled from the city state just because she speaks the truth.」

「since this meeting gets us nowhere, now, please allow me to take my leave.」
「喔、喔,某些人急了,急著把跟自己意見不同的人掃地出門──我沒差,早知道自己從不受歡迎。踏進(jìn)這所學(xué)校的第一天,就知道你們這些傢伙『恨我』恨到骨子里去了。你們這些傢伙都把我當(dāng)成外人,甚至當(dāng)賤民一樣排擠──都沒差。我明白,當(dāng)個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的異邦人就要被逐出城邦,就只是因?yàn)橹v實(shí)話?!?
「既然在這里討論不出個(gè)所以然,那好,請(qǐng)容我先告退?!?
