You see that building. . . I was part of a team of architects that designed it.

你看那楼...我是设计这座楼的建筑师之一。

Really? That's very impressive.

真的?很是令人印象深刻。

Thank you. It was a challenge. We had to design it to with stand earthquakes.

谢谢。那可是个挑战。我们不得不进行防震设计。

It must be a little nerve-racking to live with the threat of earthquakes.

生活在地震的威胁中，一定会造成神经紧张。

Yes and no. Most of the time you don't even think about it. But then the next little tremor comes along and you think it's the big one.

是也不是。多数时间你根本不会想到它。但当下一个震动来临，你会认为是大震动。

Oh, great!

真够受的!

Don't worry...I promise...no earthquakes...tonight...So, are you ready for your next San Francisco treat?

别担心…我保证…没地震…今晚…所以你为下一个旧金山的款待准备好了吗?

Mm-hm.

呣-呣...

Yeah? OK.

嗯?行了。

This place is magnificent.

It's the Palace of Fine Arts.

是啊。这是新古典主义建筑的良好范例…哦，我有一个惊喜给你。听好。你好!你好!!!

Oh, listen to that echo. What a great place to record a song. Maybe I'll come back here some day and record one of my own songs.

听那回音。真是个录制歌曲的好地方。也许哪天我会到这里，录制一首我自己的歌。

You know, I've never heard you sing. Would you sing for me?

你知道，我还没听你唱过歌哪。能为我唱一首吗?

You don't want me to sing here.

Just...just a little song.

只是...只唱一首。

Go to sleep, The stars are brightly shining, Go to sleep, The moon is on the rise, Our life's a dream, We barely know we're dreaming, 'Til I see the light that's shining in your eyes, 'Til I see the light that's shining in your eyes.

睡吧，天上的星星在闪烁， 睡吧， 皎洁的月亮在升起，我们的生活是场梦，我们难以知晓在梦中，直到我在你眼中看到闪烁的光芒，直到我在你眼中看到闪烁的光芒。
