Jack: Sure Sawyer. What is it?

Jack：当然，索伊，什么事?

Sawyer: Hurley told me that you said I’m an atheist. Why did you say that?

Sawyer：赫尔利告诉过我你说我是无神论者，你为什么说那?

Jack: Well, you never go to the church. I have never seen you pray so I assumed it was the case.

Jack：嗯，你从未去过教堂，我从未见到你祈祷，因此我猜想是那种情况

Sawyer: I understand where you’re coming from but you shouldn’t take things for granted. I believe in God. I just don’t believe in a religion. That doesn’t make me an atheist.

Sawyer：我知道你从哪里过来，但你不应该把一些事认为理所当然。我相信上帝，我只是不信教，这并不能让我成为一个无神论者

Jack: Oh! I’m sorry Sawyer. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings. It was a casual discussion.

Jack：我觉得当赫尔利他说要去拜访他姑妈不能上班的时候撒谎了

Sawyer: Why would he do that?

Sawyer：他为什么要那样做?

Jack: I don’t know. Maybe he just wanted a leave and made up an excuse.

Jack：我不知道，他可能想请假而编出的一个借口

Sawyer: I don’t think so. Hurley would never do that . He’s a serious man.

Jack: That’s one way to look at it, but from my point of view I still don’t think it was true.

Jack：这是看待这件事的一种方式，但从我的角度来看，我仍然不认为这是真的。
