我母亲热衷于慈善事业
My mother was an extremely charitable woman

she donated to my school once when I was a kid
我年级有个叫凯特琳的女孩
There was this girl in my grade named Caitlin
她得了唐氏综合症
and she had Down's Syndrome
还是什么病来着
or she had something
她是
she was
她 不对 她是一个

她很可恶 她是个贱♥人♥ 这个女孩

我知道不应该对一个小女孩
and I know you're not supposed to say that
说这种话 愿主祝福她 但是
about a little girl, bless her heart, but
她以前经常咬别的孩子
she used to bite kids a lot
她会直接冲你过来咬你
and she'd just come out at you
我以前经常做噩梦
and, I, the nightmares I used to have
实际上她还咬过一个老师
She actually bit a teacher and
无论如何
Anyway
我妈妈向学校捐了一千美元
My mom donated, like, a thousand dollars to the school
因为学校不让她在游乐场里玩
because she wasn't allowed to play on the play structures
太危险了
it was too dangerous
但我妈妈希望她能开心
but my Mom wanted her to -
所以学校给她建了一个小游戏室
so they built her a little playhouse and
我妈妈捐了一千美元
my Mom donated like a thousand dollars and
她不赞成把这个女孩排除在外
she didn't like the idea of her being left out
而且是匿名捐的
and she did it all anonymously!
她也没告诉任何人
She didn't tell anybody about it or anything
我就做不到这样
and I don't have that in me.
不管怎么样 呃 她就是这样一个人
Whatever that is, but uh, it was her, and-
今天早上我给别人开门
I opened the door for somebody this morning and I
他没有说谢谢 我都感到非常生气
got angry that they didn't say thanks
抱歉
Sorry.
我有一些东西 我写了一些东西
I had some stuff, uh, I had some stuff written down.
你讲的很好
You're fine.
当我们还是孩子的时候 会想一些东西
When you're a kid and you think about stuff, you
也学到关于建国之初的事情
learn about America and the founding-
托马斯·杰斐逊那些开国元勋们
Thomas Jefferson and all that.
但当你还是孩子的时候 你会觉得
But when you're a kid, you think about it and say
是啊 这些人完成了这些事
"Yeah, you know, these guys they did all this."
可对你来说没有任何意义
It doesn't mean anything to you.
然后你长大了
And then you grow up, and
你意识到 哇这些人太不可思议了
you realize, these guys were incredible
重要的是他们只是普通人
and they were just people
就像我们一样 生活 相爱
like us, who lived, and loved-
接着还得养育孩子
had a kid!
然后你想到你妈妈
And then you think about your mom
还有你♥爸♥爸
and your dad
以及他们在你长大的时候
and the stories they used to tell you
给你讲的故事 关于他们年轻的事
when you were growing up, of them, being young.
在他成为我妈妈之前 她只是布伦达
And before I called her Mom she was Brenda.
抱歉
Sorry.
我不知道我还能否继续
I don't know if I can keep going.
继续就行 你可以的
Keep going, you've got this.
是吗
Yeah?
你能做到 继续
You can do this, go on.
好吧
That's cool.
是的 我没事
Yeah, no, I'm fine.
她是那么的完美
She was just so wonderful and
而我在成长过程中还对她那么不好
I gave her hell growing up
我们对彼此都不好
we gave each other hell
这 在长大之后还会困扰我
and... it gets to you when you grow up
我现在反倒成了好人了
and I'm one of the good guys now!
我当时对她很刻薄
But I was just mean to her
我会对她撒谎
I'd lie to her
我不是故意的
I didn't mean to be
约翰·韦恩
John Wayne.
我有时会告诉我女儿
I tell my daughter sometimes,
嘿 千万不要对我说刻薄的话
"Hey, never say anything mean to me."
不是为了我 显然 你知道
Not for my sake, obviously, you know
我无所谓 我是个成年人
I can take it, I'm a grown man.
但你过后想起来的时候会后悔
But you would just hate for her to have to look back and
我当时太蠢了
I was just stupid.
我真是太蠢了
I was just so stupid.
我有 额
I have, um-
我是一个读写困难的人
I am a dyslexic.
我从来没有真正在意过
I never even think about it really,
当我在高中的时候
when I was in high school I had to listen to
我不得不听磁带来读书
all of these books on tape
这就好像你读书的时候把字都打乱了
it looks like the words are all jumbled up when you're reading
我能做到的 只是没那么快
I can do it, I'm just not that fast
但当我在路易斯安那州立大学上学时
but when I went to school at LSU
老虎队加油
Go Tigers.
我们发现学校不会有那样的东西给我去听
We found out they weren't gonna have anything like that for my textbooks
于是妈妈买♥♥了一台小录音机
and so my Mom bought a little tape recorder-
然后她会
and so she
她会把我要学的东西都念出来
and so she'd read all the things that I had to read so I could do
让我能在学校好好学习
well in school
这是她仅有的愿望
that's all she wanted.
我搞砸了
Screwed that up.
