巅峰拍档（2002）

Earlier, you remember, I was driving this sublime Rolls-Royce Dawn --
早些时候 你也许记得 我驾驶庄严的劳斯莱斯曜影
a car I loved and a car that Chris had a few issues with.
一辆我爱着却被克里斯嫌弃的车
Yeah, so here's the real issue with the Dawn, though, Matt,
没错 讲真 曜影真有个问题
OK, here's the deal.
问题在于
With all brand-new Rolls-Royces, it's the same thing.
对于所有的新款劳斯莱斯来说
Fresh out of the showroom, they're just too flashy.
出了展馆 它们都显得十分招摇
They rub people up the wrong way.
它们激起人们的负面情感
I'm not saying it's fair on the car or the owners,
我知道这对曜影和它的车主们不公平
it's just the way it... It's just a fact.
但是这 就是事实
You have to allow several decades between buying a new Rolls-Royce
你买♥♥了劳斯莱斯必须得等个几十年
and then the Rolls-Royce becoming classic, classy, and loved.
那时候它们才会变得醇厚 经典 令人喜爱
Seriously. Do you believe me?
真的 你相信不
No.
不
OK, look, here is what I'm talking about. Look at this.
那好 来看看这个 这就是我所说的
A 1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche. Isn't this beautiful?
一台1976年劳斯莱斯险路 它美吗
Yes.
美
See? It's beautiful.
看到了吗 大家都说好
Isn't this YOUR 1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche?
这不是你的劳斯莱斯险路吗
Yes. It's also mine, but that's sort of precisely my point. Right?
对对对 是我的 但同时它也是我的观点的完美例证
People can't fail to smile
人们看到它驶过
when this glides by even with a tool like me behind the wheel.
即便驾驶座上的是我这种货色 都忍♥不住会微笑
OK, and the funny thing is Chris actually believes that. All right?
嗯 有趣的是克里斯真的相信他的观点 对吧
So what we decided to do was put it to the test,
所以我们决定 来一个测试
OK, by taking the Dawn
把曜影和克里斯的
and Chris's Queen Mary here on the campaign trail.
玛丽王后放进挑战
We let the honest people of Dingle, West Ireland decide for themselves.
让西爱尔兰丁格尔海岸的老实人来判定
Yes.
没错
So, welcome to the Rolls-Royce Corniche,
欢迎来到劳斯莱斯险路
one of the best of the very best.
皇冠上的明珠
OK, it may only be half as powerful, not even,
或许它马力只有曜影一半 可能都不到
maybe a tenth as reliable on a good day, but you know what?
天好时候的可靠性也只有其十分之一 但是
None of that matters.
你知道吗 那都不重要
In fact, it makes the Corniche more attractive,
事实上 那只会让险路更充满魅力
gives it vulnerability, you know, makes it more human.
让它变得脆弱易病 反而更加人性
Chris Evans cracks me up.
克里斯要让我崩溃了
He's going to be going on and on about nostalgia
他只是一直在怀旧
and how cars were better in the old days.
强调以前的车有多好
I'm here to tell you they weren't. They sucked.
而我就是想要告诉你 它们很烂
Now, on a road like this,
现在 在这条路上
do you have your traction control on or off?
你的牵引力控制开着吗
Well, it's sort of permanently off
这个嘛 它在永久关闭状态
because I actually don't have traction control.
因为我没有
What?
什么
