Part 1 March 28, 2020, 2:49 p.m.

既然你们已经专心在听了我就开始了
And now that I have your attention, I'll begin.
欢迎
Welcome.
你们也知道
As you know,
这部剧叫做《日常谜团》
this entertainment is called "Dispatches From Elsewhere"...
我保证随着故事慢慢发展
a title that I assure you will have more relevance
你们会觉得这个标题愈发贴切
as the story progresses.
除非这是你们第一次看限定剧
Unless this is your first experience with a limited-run episodic,
虽然我们的记录显示并非如此
which our records indicate it is not,
那你们就会知道传统的叙事习惯
then you're aware of the storytelling convention
会要求制片人们
which dictates that the filmmakers
花很多不必要的时间
spend an unnecessary amount of time
来向你介绍主角
to introduce you to our protagonist,
他的职业他生活的细节
his occupation, the particularities of his life,
还有最重要的
and, most importantly,
阻挡他追寻幸福的障碍
the obstacles which stand in the way of his happiness.
朋友们作为我的诸多赠礼之一首先
As the first of my many gifts to you, my friends,
我建议我们跳过这个惯例
I propose we skip this convention
直接进入你们想看的部分也就是故事本身
and get on with what you came here for... the story.
我可以节省你们20分钟的生命
I propose I return to you 20 minutes of your life
通过把这个标准的介绍流程
by reducing the standard introduction
缩减成两分钟
to a mere two minutes.
这是彼得
This is Peter.
把他想象成你们自己
Think of him as you.
如果你们独居
He is you if you lived alone
并且每个工作日都要被苹果默认的闹铃吵醒的话
and woke every weekday to your iPhone alarm,
那他就是你们
still set to the default chime "radar".
如果你们每天早晨都步行上班那彼得就是你们
Peter is you if you walked to work in the morning,
这事他谈不上喜欢也谈不上不喜欢
which he neither enjoys nor does not enjoy.
他从不和路遇的行人有眼神交流
He never makes eye contact with his fellows
他也假设那些行人
and assumes his fellows
也从不与其他行人有眼神交流
never make eye contact with their fellows, either.
如果你们有一份稳定的工作
Peter is you if you worked a reliable job
并且在一家每月能让用户畅享两百多万首歌♥曲
at a company which offers on-demand listening
但会员费却不高的公♥司♥上班
of over two millions songs
那彼得就是你们
for a modest monthly fee.
另外这家公♥司♥的创新算法
In addition, the company's innovative algorithm
能根据你们先前的播放记录
conveniently informs you of songs you will enjoy
因为你听过... 所以你可能会喜欢...
方便地推送你们可能喜欢的歌♥曲
based on your prior listening history,
为你们省去了不愉快
saving you the hassle of unpleasant
且不必要的搜歌♥麻烦
and unnecessary musical exploration.
如果你们沿原路下班回家的话那彼得就是你们
Peter is you if you walked the same route home as you did to work,
你们肯定也知道
only, as I'm sure you understand,
是按相反方向走
in the opposite direction.
他通常会在街角的杂货店停下买♥♥晚餐
He generally stops into his corner bodega to procure dinner,
他一般吃盒装的寿司
which often consists of packaged sushi
配上一小包酱油和绿芥末
with a small packet of brown liquid salt and spicy green putty.
如果你们浑浑噩噩地回了家毫无改变
Peter is you if you ended your day in the same place you began it,
那彼得就是你们
with no change.
每天都一成不变
Every day like the others,
除了他偶尔会做一些毫无意义的随机小改变以外
with the exception of meaningless and arbitrary deviation.
比如晚餐不吃寿司而改吃卷饼
Burrito instead of sushi, perhaps.
这出悲剧有着最平静却又最可怕的伪饰
And this is tragedy in its most quietly devastating costume.
这样的人生没有风险没有真切的痛苦
A life without risk. A life without real pain.
也没有真正的快乐
A life without real joys.
这是生存不是生活
This is existing, not living.
至少这是我的人生观
At least that is my philosophy.
到最后这也是我仅有的一切
And at the end of the day that's all I've got.
朋友们我想大家都懂了
So, my friends, I think we've got the idea.
现在你们认识彼得了
Now you know Peter.
眯上眼睛把彼得想象成你们
Squint your eyes, and Peter is you.
至少现在这样就足够了
Enough so, at least,
我想我们可以直接跳到发生改变的那天
that I think we can jump right into the day something changes.
我现在想跟大家坦白在刚才的介绍中
I should like to confess now that I lied to you once
我骗了你们一次但仅有一次
and only once during my introduction.
不过我能保证我依然是个可靠的旁白
I can assure you, however, that I remain a reliable narrator.
