Review of Up in the Air

I saw several films during the summer holiday. The most impressed me is the film Up in the Air, it was directed by Jason Reitman. The first night of it was on Dec 4th, 2009. At first, Up in the Air was a novel written by Walter Kirn. He wanted to adapt it for a film, but no production company was willing to invest in it, because most of the scenes of the film happen in the cabin. Coincidentally, it was found by Jason Reitman. Reitman loved it very much, so he added richer plots and lines, and adapted it for a film.

Ryan was the leading actor in the film, he was a professional conversion consultant, that is, he was a person who helped the companies to dismissal their staff members. This job required him to be very marblehearted and to fly to everywhere continually. He was satisfied with his unfettered life style, had no friends, no home, and kept his families at a distance. He said, “Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks.” He said that we should empty our backpack so that we can move fast.

Something had changed after he met Alex. And his sister’s marriage made him want to repair his relation with his families, and face up to his love to Alex. But Alex had her family already, and when he achieves his aim, he found that what he had was meaningless.

After seeing the film Up in the Air, I have thought for it seriously. I think most people can't agree with what Ryan had said completely. In our real life, many people hope that they can live relaxed, unrestrained, and free from all anxieties. But, it won’t be a happy life without difficulty or pressure.

I think, life just like a ship, was ready to carry things. If we carry nothing, then we will lose the focus, and sink. We need to carry many things besides love in the journey of our life, such as the job, the heavy burden of life, and the mishap. It's true that live with pearing a heavy burden is the state of live since human being's emerge. We need love in our life, the love our family and our friends give us gives us warmth, and it brings us happiness. We need goals for life, if no, our life will be voil. So, we need power. And the impetus of making progress comes from the pressure. Only when we let our life pear a heavy burden will it be full of pressure. Live without pressure, we will feel relaxed, but we won't feel the real happiness. On the contrary, we feel we live under the pressure, but we can get a lot.

In a word, I think the bag is the point of life. It's heavy, but it loads everything in the past. It's a treasure.

第二篇：Up_In_the_Air(《在云端》)台词全整理

Up In The Air

A: This is what I get in return for 30 years of service for my company? And they send some yo-yo like you in here to try to tell me that I'm out of a job? They should be telling you you're out of a job. 我为公司服务了30年，这就是我得到的回报？他们派你这种人过来，对我说，我的工作没了。他们应该跟你说，你的工作没了

B: You have a lot of gall coming in here and firing your number one producer. And make more money than you've ever made in your life, and I'm going to go home without a pay check. Fuck you. 你们这些厚颜无耻的人来到这里开除了最好的制作人，明天你回到家去收钱。你这辈子都没见过这么多钱，我却两手空空地回家，去你妈的。

C: I just...I guess you leave me dumbfounded. I don't know where this is coming from. How am I supposed to go back as a man and explain this to my wife that I lost my job? 我只是…我想这让我太震惊了。我不知道怎么会这样。作为一个男人，我怎么回到家里，跟我妻子说我工作丢了。

D: On a stress level, I've heard that losing your job is like a death in the family. But personally, I feel more like the people I worked with were my family and I died. 从压力的层面上说，我听说失去工作就像家里有人去世。从个人角度来说，我更觉得在这里工作的人是我的一家人，而我死了。

E: I can't afford to be unemployed. I have a house payment. I have children.我不能失业，我有房子要供，有孩子要养

F: I don't know how you can live with yourself, but I'm sure that you'll find a way while the rest of us are suffering. 我不知道你怎么能这样过活。可我相信你能的，就这样让我们受煎熬

G: Who the fuck are you, man? 你到底是什么人？

Ryan：Excellent question. Who the fuck am I? Poor Steve has worked here for seven years. He's never had a meeting with me before or passed me in the hall or told me a story in the break room. And that's because I don't work here. I work for another company that lends me out to pussies like Steve's boss who don't have the balls to sack their own employees, and in some cases, for good reason. Because people do crazy shit when they get fired.

问得好，我到底是谁？可怜的斯蒂夫在这里工作了七年他从没有跟我一起开过会，也没有在走道里遇到过我。没有在休息室给我讲过故事。那是因为我不在这里工作。我在另一家公司工作，为斯蒂夫的老板这样的懦夫出面。他们不敢解雇自己的员工，有时候，理由是很充分的，因为人在被开除的时候会做出疯狂的举动。

Steve：Did I do something wrong? I mean, is there something I could do differently here? 我做错什么了？我是说，有哪里需要我改进的？

Ryan：This is not an assessment of your productivity. You gotta try not to take this personally.这不是你工作的问题。你不要认为这是针对你个人的。

Steve："Don't take it personally." 这不是针对我个人的。

Ryan：Steven, I want you to review this packet. Take it seriously. I think you're gonna find a lot of good answers in here。斯蒂夫，请看一下这个手册。仔细看看，你能找到你所需的答案。我相信这手册会有帮助。

Steve：I'm sure this is gonna be very helpful, a packet. Thank you. A packet.谢谢你给我手册

Ryan： Well, anybody who ever built an empire or changed the world sat where you are right now. And it's because they sat there they were able to do it. That's the truth. I'm gonna need your keycard. Great. Okay. Now, I want you to take the day, go get together your personal things, and then tomorrow, you get yourself some exercise. You go out for a jog, you give yourself some routines, and pretty soon you find your legs. 任何创立

了王国或改变了世界的人都曾跟你有同样的处境。正因为有这样的处境,他们才能取得成功。这是事实。 我需要你的钥匙卡。很好，好的。现在，我要你今天就开始休息，去收拾一下你的私人物品。然后明天呢，去做一些运动。出去跑跑步，做一些事情，很快你就会找到方向。

Steve：How do I get in touch with you? 我怎么联系你？

Ryan： Don't worry; we'll be in touch with you soon. This is just the beginning. I'll never see Steve again.不要担心，我们会很快联系你。这只是一个开始。 我再也不会见斯蒂夫了。

Steve：Thank you.谢谢你

Ryan： To know me is to fly with me. This is where I live. When I run my card, the system automatically prompts the desk clerk to greet me with this exact statement. 想了解我，就跟我一起飞行。我就住在这里。我刷卡的时候，系统会自动让柜员，用这一句话跟我问好。

Woman：Pleasure to see you again, Mr. Bingham.很高兴又见到你，宾汉先生。

Ryan： It's these kinds of systemized, friendly touches that keep my world in orbit. ll the things you probably hate about traveling, the recycled air, the artificial lighting, the digital juice dispensers, the cheap sushi, are warm reminders that I'm home. 就是这些系统化友好的行为让我的世界正常运行。旅行中你可能不喜欢的所有事物。循环空气、人工照明、果汁贩卖机、廉价寿司都给我带来家的温暖。

-Do you want the cancer? -您需要癌症吗？

- The what? - 什么？

- Do you want the cancer? - 您需要癌症吗？

-The cancer? -癌症？

- The can, sir? -听装饮料，先生

-No. I'm fine, thank you. -不，我不要，谢谢你

Ryan：How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel them? Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. You start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers, the knickknacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up. Then you start adding larger stuff, clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, linens, your TV. The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. And you go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now try to walk. It's kind of hard, isn't it? This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move. And make no mistake, moving is living. Now, I'm gonna set that backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember. Drink some ginkgo and let the photos burn. In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing. It's kind of exhilarating, isn't it?

你的背包里装了什么？你的人生有多重？想象一下，你背着一个背包。我要你们感受肩膀上的肩带。感觉到了吗？所有东西都装进去从小东西开始装，书架上和抽屉里的东西，小摆设、小收藏。感觉一下增加的重量，然后你装上大一点的东西，衣服、桌上电器、灯、床单，你的电视机。现在背包应该已经很重了。接着再装更大的东西，你的沙发、床、餐桌，全塞进去，你的汽车，也塞进去。你的家，小公寓也好，双卧室的房子也好我要你把这些全塞进背包里。现在走走路看。有点难，是吗？我们平时就是这样对自己的。我们承载了太多东西，多到不能动，不能犯错，能动就是活着。现在，我要把这背包付之一炬。你想把什么拿出来？照片吗？照片是给没有记性的人。喝点银杏酒，把照片烧掉。把所有东西都烧了，想象早上醒来一身轻松的感觉。感觉挺兴奋的，是吧？

Welcome back, Mr. Bingham. 欢迎您回来，宾汉先生

Woman：- It seems like it's been a while this time. 这次你好像走了很久

Craig：Okay. I am just... I'm thrilled that everyone's back under one roof. Welcome home, boys. I know there's been a lot of whispering about why we're here, so let me jump right in. Retailers are down 20%. Auto industry is in the dump. Housing market doesn't have a heartbeat. It is one of the worst times on record for America. This is our moment. Now, last summer, we received a dynamite young woman here from Cornell, and she had some pretty big ideas that she challenged me with. And my first reaction was, "Who does this kid think that she is?" But after I gave it a listen, she really knocked me out. So, with a peek into our future, Natalie Keener. 好了。我只是…我很兴奋，大家又都回来了。欢迎回家，先生们。我知道人家都在猜测今天开会的原因，那我就开门见山了，零售商利润下降了20%。汽车行业一蹶不振，房地产市场了无生机，现在是美国有史以来最差的时候，而这正是我们大展宏图的时刻。去年夏天，一位有创意的年轻女性加入我们，她毕业于康奈尔大学。她向我提出了大胆的意见。我第一反应是，“这小孩儿以为自己是谁啊”。可我仔细听了以后，她的想法让我印象深刻。让我们窥视未来，有请娜塔莉·基纳

Natalie: If there's one word I want to leave you with today, it's this. 如果我今天要告诉你一个词的话，那就是这个。

People："Glocal"? 全球什么？ Natalie: Glocal. 全球本地化

Our global must become local. This company keeps 23 people on the road at least 250 days a year. It's expensive, and it's inefficient. When I came to Craig three months ago with this, he told me, and quite astutely, it's only a problem if you have a solution. Well, today I stand before you with just that. You all know Ned in reception. Today I'm gonna fire Ned. Sorry, Ned. I'm sure HR will hire you back this afternoon. 我们的全球化必须在本地得到实。现我们公司每年派23个人出差至少250天，很昂贵，而且效率低下。三个月前，我跟克雷格说了这事，他狡黠地告诉我，这不是个问题，除非我有解决方案。好，今天，我站在这里告诉大家解决方案。大家都认识前台奈德，今天我要解雇奈德。抱歉，奈德，人事部下午就重新聘用你。

Craig：We'll see about that. 这可不一定

Natalie: Now Ned could be any employee in any one of our clients' locations worldwide. Strategy packets will be shipped in advance. Ned would be given a seat and find one of our transition specialists waiting for him. Mr.Laskin, the reason we're having this conversation is your position is no longer available. 奈德可以是我们客户，在全球所有地点的任何员工。策略手册会提前寄过去。奈德会被带到一个指定座位，他会看到我们的专员在等他。拉斯金先生，我们谈话的原因是，你的职位不再存在了。

Ned：I don't understand. I'm fired? 我不明白，我被解雇了吗？

Hearing the words "you've been let go" is never easy. Changes is always scary, but consider the following. Anybody who ever built an empire or changed the world sat where you are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it. 听人对你说“你被解雇了”，这不是一件容易的事。变化总是让人生畏，不过请你这么想任何创立了王国或改变了世界的人都曾跟你有同样的处境。正因为有这样的处境,他们才能取得成功。

Ryan：That's my fucking line. 这分明是我的台词 Ned：But what happens now? 那现在怎么办？ This is the first step of a process that will end with you in a new job that fulfills you. 这是第一步，以后你会

有份充实的新工作。

Ned：Yeah. But how does it work? 好，具体怎么操作？

Natalie: I want you to take the packet in front of you. Review it. All the answers you're looking for are inside. Start filling out the necessary information, and before you know it, you'll be on your way to new opportunities. Now, Ned, I need you to go back to your desk and start putting together your things. As a favor to me, I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread the news just yet. Panic doesn't help anyone. 我要你拿着你前面的手册，阅读手册，所有你要的答案都在里面。开始填写必要的信息，在你意识到之前，你就已经一路通往新机会了。奈德，现在我要你回到座位上，开始收拾你的东西。帮我个忙，先不要告诉其他人，谢谢。恐慌对谁都没好处

Ned：I understand. 我明白

Natalie: Give it up for Ned. (Applause)You can start the morning in Boston, stop in Dallas over lunch, and finish the day in San Francisco, all for the price of a T1 line. Our inflated travel budget is eviscerated by 85%. And more importantly to you guys on the road, no more Christmases in a hotel in Tulsa, no more hours lost to weather delays. You get to come home.奈德的事做完了。（掌声）我们可以早上从波斯顿开始，午餐时处理达拉斯的事。下午处理旧金山的事，只需要一条T1线路的费用。我们昂贵的出差预算能削减85%。对于常年出差的人，更重要的是再也不用在塔尔萨的酒店过圣诞节，也不用把时间浪费在天气引起的延误上，你们能回家了。

Ryan：Tell me you're not taking this seriously. 你不是来真的吧

Craig：That's why I brought the entire company in from the road, because we're not taking it seriously. 我把整个公司的人叫回来是因为我不是来真的

Ryan：There is a methodology to what I do. There is a reason why it works. 我的工作是讲方法的，这个方法的有效性不是无缘无故的

Craig：Coke and IBM have been doing this for years, all right. Are you familiar with them? Now just like

anything else, you know, it's gonna take a few months of sort of transition and then everybody is gonna settle in. 可口可乐和IBM公司已经这么做了好多年，你跟他们熟吗？就像其它事情一样，会有几个月的过渡期，然后大家都能适应了。

Ryan：Who are you taking off the road? 你会让谁留在公司？

Craig：How are you not getting this? You're grounded. Everybody's grounded. It's done. 你怎么就不明白？你不用出差了。大家都不用出差了，就这么定了

Ryan：What we do here is brutal, and it does leave people devastated. But there is a dignity to the way I do it. 我们做的事是残酷的，会让人们悲痛，可我的方法让他们有尊严。

Craig：By stabbing them in the chest instead of the back, is that right? 不从后面捅刀子，而是在胸前来一刀，是这样吗？

Natalie: - You wanted to see me? 你找我吗？ Craig：- Well... 这个…

Ryan：Yeah. You know what? Yeah, come on in. Come on in here. 对，我说，对，进来吧。进来。

Bob： Why me? What am I supposed to do now? Am I supposed to feel better that I'm not the only one losing my job? This is ridiculous! I have been a fine employee for over 10 years, and this is the way you treat me. How do you sleep at night, man? How? How's your family? They sleeping well at night? Electricity still on?

What do you suggest I tell them? 为什么是我？我该怎么办？失业的人不止我一个，我就不会感到沮丧了吗？这太荒唐了。我当了十多年的优秀员工，你却这么对待我。你晚上怎么睡得着？怎么睡得着？你家人怎么样？他们晚上睡得好吗？电费交了吗？取暖费交了吗？冰箱里食物还有吗？油箱加满了吗？这周末去查克芝士餐厅吗？跟我没关系了。不，孩子们，我们什么都做不了你觉得我该怎么告诉他们？

Natalie: Perhaps you're underestimating the positive effect that your career transition can have on your children. 可能你低估了职业转变对孩子的积极影响。

Bob：The positive effect? I make about 90 grand a year now. Unemployment is what, 250 bucks a week? Is that one of your positive effects? Well, we'll get to be cozier, because I'm not gonna be able to pay my mortgage on my house. So, maybe we can move into a nice fucking one-bedroom apartment somewhere. And I guess without benefits, I'll be able to hold my daughter as she, you know, suffers from her asthma that I won't be able to afford the medication for. 积极影响？我现在每年挣9万块。失业救济是多少，250块一周？这包括在你所说的积极影响里吗？我们还可以过得更安逸，因为我供不起房贷了。所以，我们可能会搬到舒服得要死的一室户。还有，没了保险我就可以抱着我哮喘发作的女儿，而我没钱给她治病。

Bob： Hey, asshole, aren't you supposed to be consoling me? 嘿，混蛋，你不是应该安慰我的吗？

Bob： I don't know. Because they screw lingerie models? 我不知道，因为他们搞内衣模特？

Ryan：No, but you can cook. 是的，可你会掌厨

Bob： What are you talking about? 你在说什么？

Ryan：Your resume says that you minored in French culinary arts. Most students, they work on the fryer at KFC, but you bussed tables at II Picador to support yourself. And then you get out of college and you come and you work here. How much did they first pay you to give up on your dreams? 你的简历写着你学过法国烹饪艺术。大部分学生在肯德基炸鸡块，而你却在斗牛士餐厅打杂挣钱。你读完大学来到这里上班。他们一开始付你多少钱让你放弃梦想？

Bob： 27 grand a year. 2.7万块每年。

Ryan：And when were you going to stop and come back and do what makes you happy? 你打算什么时候不做这个工作去做能让你开心的事情。

Bob： Good question. 问得好

Ryan：I see guys who work at the same company for their entire lives, guys exactly like you. They clock in, they clock out, and they never have a moment of happiness.

Natalie: So, what are you saving up for, Hawaii, South of France? 那你攒里程干什么，为了去夏威夷？去法国南部？

Ryan：It's not like that. The miles are the goal. 不是这样的，里程本身就是目标

Natalie: That's it? You're saving just to save? 就这样？你就为了攒里程数？

Ryan：Let's just say that I have a number in mind and I haven't hit it yet. 可以这么说，我心里有个目标数。到现在还没实现。

Natalie: That's a little abstract. What's the target? 这有点抽象了，你的目标是多少？

Your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters, your parents. And finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend or your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack. Don't worry. I'm not gonna ask you to light it on fire. Feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake, your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. Do you feel the straps cutting into your shoulders? All those negotiations and arguments and secrets and compromises. You don't need to carry all that weight. Why don't you set that bag down? Some animals were meant to carry each other, to live symbiotically for a lifetime. Star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not those animals. The slower we move, the faster we die. We are not swans. We're sharks. 我就是这么开始每一天的生活。现在，会有点难，仔细听。你有个新背包，只是这次，我要你装人进去，从普通相识的人开始，朋友的朋友，办公室的同事，然后是你信任的人，你会告诉他们秘密的人，你的表亲、阿姨、叔叔，你的兄弟姐妹和父母，最后是你的丈夫、妻子、男朋友或女朋友，你把他们都装进背包里。不要怕，我不会让你们放火烧背包。感受一下包的重量。不能犯错，你的这些关系是人生中之最重。有没有感觉到背包带紧紧勒着你的肩膀，背负着所有的商讨、争论、秘密和妥协。你不必背负所有重量，不妨把背包放下，有些动物是要相互背负的，共生着过一辈子，灾星下出生的情人，一夫一妻的天鹅，我们不是这些动物，我们动得越慢，死得越快。我们不是天鹅，我们是鲨鱼。

Fuck. 从我12岁开始，我们把每个祖辈的老人送进养老院，我父母也去了养老院，没错，我们都会孤独终老。圣地亚哥喝酷雷饮料，穿运动鞋的邪教成员，他们不会孤独终老。我说，还是有选择的。妈的。

Alex: What a weaselly prick. 狡猾的混蛋。

Natalie: Yeah. But what does that make me? Someone who falls for a prick. 对，可我成了什么了？喜欢上混蛋的人。

Alex: We all fall for them. Pricks are spontaneous, they're unpredictable, and they're fun. And then we're surprised when they turn out to be pricks. 我们都喜欢混蛋。混蛋很随意，他们不按常理出牌，很有趣。发现他们是混蛋时，我们还是感到吃惊。

Natalie: I followed him to Omaha. 我跟他去的奥马哈。

Ryan: You did? 是吗？

Natalie: I had a job waiting for me in San Francisco when he got an offer from ConAgra. He said we could start a life together. So, I followed him. 我在旧金山找到工作，可他在康尼格拉公司找到工作，他说我们应该一起开始新生活，所以，我就跟他去了。

Ryan: To Nebraska? 到内布拉斯加州？

Natalie: I thought I'd be engaged by now. No offense. 我以为现在已经能订婚了。无意冒犯。

Ryan: None taken. 没事 Alex: That's all right. 没关系

Natalie: I could have made it work. He... He really fit the bill. You know? 本来是可以实现的，他…他非常符合要求。你知道吗？

Ryan: The bill? 什么要求？

Natalie: White-collar, college grad, loves dogs, likes funny movies, 6'1", brown hair, kind eyes, works in finance but is outdoorsy, you know, on the weekends. I always imagined he'd have a single syllable name like Matt or John or Dave. In a perfect world, he drives a 4Runner. And the only thing he loves more than me is his golden Lab. And a nice smile. What about you? 白领，大学毕业，爱狗狗，爱看喜剧电影，1米85，棕色头发，眼神和善，在金融界工作，周末的时候热爱户外运动，我觉得他的名字应该是双音节的，像马特、约翰或戴夫。在理想世界里，他开的应该是辆越野车。除了我，他最爱他的金色拉布拉多。拥有甜美的微笑。你呢？

Alex: Let me think. You know, honestly, by the time you're 34, all the physical requirements just go out the window. I mean, like, you secretly pray that he'll be taller than you, and not an asshole would be nice. Just someone who enjoys my company, comes from a good family. Because you don't think about that when you're younger. I don't know. Someone who wants kids. Likes kids. Wants kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids. Please let him earn more money than I do. You might not understand that now, but believe me, you will one day. Otherwise, that's a recipe for disaster. And hopefully some hair on his head, but, I mean, even that's not a deal breaker these days. A nice smile. Yeah, a nice smile. Nice smile just might do it. 让我想想。老实说，到你34岁时所有外在的要求都会抛在脑后，你会暗地里祈祷他比你高，不是个混蛋就好，喜欢跟我在一起，出身良好的家庭，这些事年轻的时候是不会想的。找想要小孩的人，喜欢小孩，想要小孩。身体健康，能陪小孩玩希望他挣得比我多。现在你可能不理解，相信我，有天你会的，不然，就会成为灾难。希望他不是秃头，不过，现在的人不会介意这个。笑容要甜美，对，笑容甜美，笑容甜美就可以了。

Natalie: Wow, that was depressing. I should just date women. 哇，真是压抑。我找女朋友算了。 Alex: Tried it. We're no picnic ourselves. 试试看啰。我们不能耍自己。

Natalie: I don't mind being married to my career, and I don't expect it to hold me in bed as I fall asleep. I just don't want to settle. 我不介意跟我的事业结婚，我知道事业不会拥我入睡，我就是不想定下来。

Alex: You're young. Right now you see settling as some sort of a failure. 你还年轻，现在你觉得定下来就是失败。

Natalie: It is, by definition. 从定义来说，的确是失败

Alex: Yeah. But by the time someone is right for you, it won't feel like settling. And the only person left to judge you will be the 23-year-old girl with a target on your back. 对，可是对的时机到来时就不会觉得像是定下来，唯一会评判你的人，将是位23岁的女孩，在你背后画一个靶心。

Natalie: So, what's the plan for the evening? 今晚做点什么？

Ryan: Well, we were gonna hit that party for the tech conference at the hotel. 我们打算参加那技术公司在酒店举办的聚会。

Natalie: I didn't know you could just attend those. I thought you had to be registered.这个可以随便参加的吗？不是要注册的吗？

And then, all of a sudden, they're graduating, they're getting jobs, and they're getting married, and, you know, I'm a grandparent. And then I'm retired. I'm losing my hair. I'm getting fat. And then the next thing you know, I'm dead. I'm just, like... I can't stop from thinking, "What's the point?" I mean, what is the point? 昨晚，我躺在床上睡不着，然后我开始想婚礼和仪式的事情。我们买房子，一起搬进去，生孩子，然后再生一个孩子，圣诞节、感恩节、放春假，足球比赛，忽然间，他们就毕业了。他们找到工作，结婚，然后，我就成了祖父辈的了。然后我退休，掉头发，发胖，接来下就是我死了。我就?我一直想，“这有什么意义？”这有什么意义？

I think the anger comes from the fact that I just wasn't needed anymore. 公司不再需要我了，一想到这个，我就很生气。

I would say, you know, without my friends and my family, I wouldn't have made it. It would have been a lot tougher if I would have had to make it on my own. 我想说，没有朋友和家人，我做不到。如果只靠我自己，会困难很多。

When I wake up in the morning and I look over and I see my wife, that gives me the sense of purpose. 我早上醒来，转过头，看到我的妻子。这给了我明确的目标。

The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places. And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over. 今晚大多数人回到家，蹦蹦跳跳的狗和叽叽喳喳的孩子会来欢迎他们。他们的另一半会问他们这一天过得怎么样，晚上他们进入梦乡，白天星星藏起来，晚上他们都出来了。有一盏灯，比其它灯稍亮一点，是我掠行而过的飞机机翼上的灯。
