梦想情景（2023）

-太痴心妄想了 -我喜欢
I mean, it's so dumb... I love that.
这样也挺不错的 也算管用
mthat it's kind of cool, you know, it kind of works.
-我能不能... -行
Can I just... Yeah.
我们能说回书吗
Can we go back to the book?
-什么书 -我的书
What book? My book.
我想写的那本书
The book I wanna write?
我只是想说清楚
I just want to make it clear
我并不希望这种现象
that I actually don't Want this Whole phenomenon
是我出名的原因
to be what I'm known for.
我不想这件事成为我在维♥基♥百♥科♥上的
I don't want that to be the main thing
主要事迹
on my wikipedia, you know?
好的 那你有什么想法
Okay. So, what are you thinking?
嗯 我是进化生物学家
Well, I'm an evolutionary biologist.
这是我毕生致力的事
That's what I've dedicated my life to.
所以 不管我们故什么
So, whatever we do,
我都希望和我的博士学位有关
I want it to be related to my doctorate.
哇哦 好吧 听着...
Wow. Wow. Okay. See, I...
我不懂你说的那些
I didn't know about that at all.
你是因为梦境出名的
Well, you're famous for the dreams, right?
所以大冢才很感兴趣
I mean, that's... that's why anyone's interested.
让你进入一个完全不同的领域
So, it might be a bit of a stretch
可能有点牵 强
to get you into a totally different space.
没错
Yeah.
我是终身教授 我早就进入了那个领域
I'm a tenured professor. I'm already in the space.
那我们谈谈我们之间
Well, you know, just to give us a point of contact
有没有什么连接点
as to what we're talking about,
你喜欢那个领域里的
who are some of the big names that you like
-唧些大人物 -对
in that Space? Yeah.
(斯坦福大学神经学教授)
有很多 罗伯特·萨波斯基
Well, there's a bunch, Robert Sapolsky.
他的事业相当令人钦佩
His career has been pretty admirable.
哦 他是不是...
Oh, is he, um...
其实我听都没听过他
No, I don't think I'm familiar with him, actually.
赫尔曼 - 泰格 可能吗
Herman Tig, maybe?
-谁 -赫尔曼 - 泰格
Who? Herman Tig.
是的 不 我听过这个名字
Yeah. No, I know that name.
-哦 是吗 -是的
Oh, you do? Yeah.
嗯 我想这些都不是真正的名人
Well, these are not rea‖y celebrities, I suppose.
不 这才是重点 我不在平名气
No, that's the point, I don't care about fame.
我只把它当做一个机会
I just see this as an opportunity to
让我的工作得到一些认可
to get some recognition for my work.
借助一扇门打开另一扇门
You know, one door opening another door?
是 我懂了
Yeah. No, I get that.
你说的是读者支点
You're talking about an audience pivot,
我觉得这想法很聪朋
Which lthink is very smart.
我只是不知道你能否在拉拢读者的同时
I just don't know if you can pivot that hard right now
维持好热度
without a significant dropoff.
仅凭一本关于植物的书
I mean, a book about what, plants?
但我对雪碧的广♥告♥没兴趣
Yeah, well, I'm not rea‖y interested in doing Sprite ads.
不 不 不 那只是举个例子 保罗
No, no, no. Well, that's just one example, though, Paul.
我们有一大堆想法
I mean, we have a ton of ideas.
哦 这只是冰山一角
Oh, that is just the Very tip of the iceberg.
我们有很多想法
We have so many ideas.
嗯 其中一个想法是
Um, one idea we had was
让奥巴马也梦到你
to make Obama dream about you.
这能让你进入你一直提到 的
That would get you into some of those highculture spaces
高文化领域
you've been mentioning.
(奥巴马的大女儿)
我认识玛利亚 我们能办到
I know Malia, so we can make it happen.
也许这并不是我想要的
Maybe this isn't really what I'm looking for.
我想我们道不同
I don't think we're really speaking
-不相 为 谋 -不 保罗
the same language here. No, Paul.
如果你是这么想的 那就是我没做好
If that's how you're feeling, then I'm failing, okay?
我们能... 能... 能... 我... 我们能重新来过吗
Can we just can... can... can I... can we start over?
我以为你们能帮我找个出版商
I just thought you guys could help me find a publisher.
-我...我...我...-首先
I... I... I... Firstoff,
我想道个歉
I would like to apologize.
我之前说谎了 我从没梦到过你
I lied earlier. I never dreamt about you.
我只是觉得这是一种有趣的开场白
I just thought that would be a fun way to start the meeting, okay?
但事实是
But what is absolutely true
我一直在想你的事
is that I have been thinking about you a lot
我真心觉得我们 能一起
and I just rea‖y feel that we're gonna do
做些与众不同的事
something very special together.
