我爸爸爱雷顿 My father loved Layton
胜过世上的一切 more than anything in the world.
真不错 Yes , Good deal.

但我知道我永远做不到 But I knew I never be upto it.
一年前 .
巴特历史博物馆
奥菲亚设计了五滚珠管道模型 Orffyreus have five marbles trapped in tubes,
以建立失衡系统 但其中的摆动 creating an imbalance. This rocking motion, however,
引起了能量的迅速减少 caused the energy to dissipate.
罗贝尔·弗拉克基于永动轮转概念 Robert Flux built a mill based on the concept
建造了一座磨碎机 of perpetual rotation.
但机器的固有摩擦造成了能量的大量耗损 However the inherit friction of the machine caused significant loss of energy.
意大利哲学家马可·泽马拉 Italian philosopher Marco Zimara
设计了一种回收风力的机器 imagined a machine that could recycle the wind.
但压缩风箱需要的力 But the force required to compress the bellows
却超过了风力产生的能量 was greater than the energy produced by the windmill.
所以无法实现 So it didn't work.
至今没有任何科学挑战能够在重大性 No scientific challenge remains greater,
声望性 most prestigious,
和神秘性上 more mythical,
超过寻求 than that of finding the key to
永动机之谜的钥匙 perpetual motion.
谢谢大家 Thank you.
然而有些人却断言 Yet some affirm that
这种探索注定会失败 this quest is doomed to failure.
因为永动机违背了 Such a machine
宇宙的物理定律 defies the laws of the universe.
热力学的基础理论认为 The very basis of thermodynamics assumes that
任何机械最终将会处于静止状态 all mechanism will eventually come to stop.
嗯 你说 Well, it is you.
就目前的科学技术而言 Yeah. Given the current state of Science and Technology,
永动机的探索不是更适合那些 isn't the quest for perpetual motion better suited for
空想家和诗人 而不是科学家么？ idealists and poets than real scientists?
如果科学终结的时候 What if imagination start it
想象才会开始？ and science end it?
那些超越科学极限的人 难道不能叫他们诗人么 Those who push the boundaries of science, what they not all poets?
我相信 I'm certain

去接电话 有3条路可走 I had 3 options to get to the phone.
一条是走廊/厨房之路 The corridor / kitchen way,
它最快 也最无聊 the quickest but also the most boring.

我们目睹了智慧陷于沉寂 when we are witnessing a return to intellectual obscurity,
我不禁 I can not resist
想要引用阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的话 the temptation to quote Albert Einstein.
他说： He said ...
“只有两件事是无穷的： "Only two things are infinite:"
宇宙 和人类的愚蠢 "the universe and human stupidity ..."
对于前者 我不太了解。“ and, I'm not sure about the former
但我却知道第三个无穷： But I know a third example:
人类的天才。 human genius.
今晚我们的贵宾正是极好的例子 Our guest of honor tonight is a magnificient example of this.
我想请大家 I invite you to show him
给他他应得的尊敬 all the respect he deserves,
虽然他年纪尚小 despite his young years.
女士们先生们 T.S.斯比维特 Ladies and gentlemen, T.S. Spivet.
大家好 Hello everybody.
我的名字是T.S.斯比维特 My name is T.S. Spivet,
我10岁 I am 10 years old
正在读六年级 and I am actually in sixth grade.
在座的各位 Is there anyone in this room,
有谁还没有博士学位么？ who doesn't already atleast have a PhD?
有谁吗？ Any one?
今晚我可能并不能给各位传授些什么知识 So, I probably won't be teaching you much tonight.
但我想告诉各位3件事情 But I like to tell you three things.
第一 First,
谢谢你们 thank you ...
谢谢你们没有因为我的年纪而取消给我颁奖 Thank you for not cancelling my award 'cause I was younger than you expected.
第二 关于电磁轮 Second , the wheel.
大家能看到里面有部分零件是磁铁 As you can see they are powered by magnets.
你们也一定知道 Yet as you know,
400年后磁铁将会消磁 they demagnetize within approximately 400 years.
对人类时间尺度而言 400年似乎很长 On a human scale, it sounds like a lot.
但对地质年代而言 却只不过是沧海一粟 In geological time, it's not even a fraction of a second.
因此我们距离永动机还要走很长的路 So, we're actually far from having a perpetual motion.
有问题么？ Any Questions?
嗯 那么第三件事是什么？ Yes, what is the third point?
是啊 第三... Oh yes, the third ...
今年我弟弟死了 My brother died this year.
他在谷仓里开枪打死了自己 He shot himself in the barn.
从没有人说起这件事 No one talks about it.
从没有人说“雷顿在谷仓里开枪打死了自己” No one ever said "Layton shot himself in the barn."
没人 No one.
雷顿和我一直有很多不同 Layton and Me we were always very different.
我喜欢做我的实验 I have been doing my scientific experiments,
他喜欢拿他的温特枪打空罐子 打土狼 and, he would be shooting empty bean cans and coyotes with his Winchester.
于是我想了个主意—制作枪声声波图 So, I came up with this idea to make sound waves match the gunshots.
这样我们就能一起玩了 That way we could play something together.
他打枪 我收集数据 He would shoot, and I gathered data.
后来 And
他的一只温特枪卡弹了 one of his Winchester has jammed.
我帮忙扶住枪托 I held the bottom of the rifle to help out.
我碰都没碰扳机 I didn't even touched the trigger.
一声爆炸响 There was an explosion.
雷顿飞起来 飞过谷仓 Layton flew across the room.
血... Blood...
从草垛上滴下来 dripped off the hay.
他躺在那 He was there,
他再也不是我弟弟了 but he wasn't my brother anymore.
变成了只有我一个人 I was alone.
我跑到农场去找父亲 I ran to the field to get my father.
我告诉他雷顿受伤了 很严重 然后他的脸就揪了起来 His face clenched up when I said Layton had hurt himself badly.
他冲过去 我站在原地 He ran back, and I stayed there,
不知道要去哪 not knowing where to go.
然后我跑进房子躲在浴室里 Then I ran to the house and hid in the bathroom.
我听到父亲讲电话的声音 I could hear my father whispering on the phone.
后来看到窗外开来的没亮灯的救护车 And through the window, I saw the ambulance pull without the flashing lights.
过了一会 格雷西来了 After a while, Gracie showed up.
她哭了 She was crying.
她坐在我身边 抱着我 She sat next to me in the floor
我们待了很久 We stayed a long time like that.
躺在地上 不说话 Lying on the floor without talking.
我想说非常荣幸我能得奖 I wanted you to know how proud I am to get this award.
我会努力不辜负大家的信任 I'll do my best to fulfill your trust in me,
继续为科学进步而努力 and to be in the service of science.
我说完了 谢谢 That's all I had to say. Thank you.
T.S. 噢... T.S., Oh...
水滴的特别之处在于 The amazing thing about water drops,
它们总能找到阻力最小的道路 is that they always take the path of least resistance.
对人类来说 For humans,
情况刚好完全相反 it's exactly the opposite.
雷顿死后 When Layton died,
木薯卡开始嚼铁桶 嚼得嘴都出了血 Tapioca started chewing metal buckets till it's gums bled.
雷顿和木薯卡曾经形影不离 Layton and Tapioca had been inseparable.
后来有一天 And then one day,
格雷西带着木薯卡穿过草场 走了很久 Gracie took him for a long walk through the meadow.
他们一起坐下 眺望远山 They sat for a while facing the mountains.
回来时似乎达成了某种一致 Gracie returned with a new kind of understanding in their eyes.
木薯卡不再嚼铁桶了 Tapioca stopped chewing metal buckets.
他又开始捉萤火虫了 像从前一样 He went back to snapping at fireflies, just like before.
他似乎接受了失去小主人的事实 As if he had made peace with lossing his master.
也许有一天 我也可以再捉萤火虫 Maybe someday, I'll go back snapping at fireflies too.
给你打包票 I swear to you.
他们爱死、爱死那小孩了！ They loved...They loved the kid! I mean,
就算他们是一堆老学究 Granted they are just a bunch of scientists,
但假设大众的反应跟他们有一点点相似 but if their reaction is anything like the way the general public is gonna respond,
我们这回都是挖到宝了！ we've got a gold mine on our hands here!
噢 人就是爱看热闹 People are so predictable
真是一群蠢蛋 it's nuts, really.
我都要成舆论操纵专家了 I should write a handbook on how to move the masses.
别挂 Hang on!
亲爱的 笑一下！ Honey! Smile!
你给摆个写写画画的造型可能更好 No, I think it would be better if you're sketching in your notebook.
但我没带笔记本 But, I didn't bring one.
萨利 麻烦拿个笔记本来 快 Sally, can we have a notebook here, Quick.
再等等 小鬼有点事情 Hang on a minute, problem with the kid.
给 There you go.
但这本颜色不对 我从不在绿色笔记本上记事 But, It's not the right colour. I'd never sketch on a green notebook.
噢宝贝 拍个照而已 没人在乎这些 This is just a photograph, nobody cares.
喂 我们聊到哪了？ OK, so, where were we? Oh Yeah.
...真令人惊叹... Its amazing!
好的 谢谢 Wow. Thank you.

州联盟主席下周会发表演说 The President stated the union addresses next week, and they,
观众需要这样的谈资 and they love having talking points in the audience.
我都可以听见他说了 I can hear 'em now,
“各位 美国的教育系统成功了” "Look, the American educational system is working."
我们现在需要的是 What we really need
你父母的照片 are pictures of your parents.
尤其是你弟弟的 Especially your brother.

但你得挺住 知道么？ It's just the price you have to pay, got it?
他肯定会问雷顿的事 He's gonna talk about Layton, for sure.
你就说意外发生时你在 So, you saw the accident ...
意外发生时你在 但你不知道发生了什么 You saw the accident, you didn't understand what happened,
你跑去找人 就这样说 记住了 you ran for help, that's it. Remember,
别表现出一点愧疚 do not express any kind of guilt.
听到没？ you listening?
我们至少要先咨询一下律师 都听懂了么？ Not until we consult with our lawyers. You understood all that?

我们今天这位嘉宾占据了本周所有头条 My guest tonight has dominated this week's headlines.
他是科学界的莫扎特 He is to science what Mozart is to music.
T.S. 斯比维特 年仅10岁 T.S. Spivet, just 10 years old,
就领先其他大批科学家 and he had sprinted ahead of legions of scientists
获得了今年竞争激烈的贝尔德奖 to win this year's coveted Baird Award.
T.S. 你今年10岁 T.S., you're 10 years old,
是个孤儿 在蒙大拿州一个偏僻的牧场长大 You're an orphan, you grew upon a remote ranch in Montana,
你爸爸想让你成为 your dad wanted you to be

跟我说说 T.S. 年仅10岁是怎么获得贝尔德奖的？ Tell me T.S., How does a 10 year old win the Baird Award?
就像是那个著名的苹果 Did the proverbial apple just fall
砸到你头上了？ on your head
于是灵光一闪 你就发明了 and light bulb, you invent
那台永动机？ the perpetual motion machine?
永动机原理其实已经存在 It actually already existed.
我所做的不过是创造了 But, we needed to invented
一个系统来... was a system to ...
大部分其他人在10岁时 At an age when most 10 year olds
都还在爬树 那你喜欢玩什么？ are climbing trees, what do you do for fun?
三角原理? Trigonometry?
我也喜欢爬树. I like climbing trees.
好的. OK.
你从4岁起 You've been conducting scientific experiments
就开始进行科学实验了 since the age of 4.
去年有一项实验 Last year, one of those went
发生了事故 tragically wrong and resulted in the death
导致了你双胞胎弟弟雷顿的死亡 of your twin brother, Layton.
我不知道发生了什么 I did not understand what happened.
我跑去找人帮忙 就这样 I ran to get help, that's all.
好的 OK.
我想现在是时候看一看 And oddly, the time has come to take a look
这个非凡的发明了 at this extraordinary invention.
这部永动机 This is the first perpetual motion machine
开创了人类历史的先河 in the history of mankind.
那么 T.S. Well, T.S. How does it work...
莱萨！你看到他了么？ Liza! Do you see him?
那是我弟弟 真不敢相信他上电视了！ That's is my brother. I can't believe he is on TV!
这就是那个到了8岁还穿尼龙搭扣鞋子的小子 I mean, This is the same spice that wore Velcro on his shoes untill he's 8 years old
他那时还不会系鞋带 because he couldn't tie his own laces.
他上电视了！ he is on TV!
你还记得那回 他的地震仪差点把我电死么？ He went that time when he almost electrocuted me with his seismograph.
噢 他可不会在电视上说这个 Oh thats, its not mention that on TV ...
T.S. 这个轮子像这样不消耗能量... T.S., how long can the little wheel turn
而产生能量... and produce energy
能转多久？ without consuming energy?
400年 那时就必须重新充磁了 400 years then you have to recharge the magnets.
400年！ 400 years!
你的意思是假如它放大100倍 so, you saying if this machine were 100 times larger
它就能给这整栋楼的灯泡提供400年的电力 it could power all of the lights in this building for 400 years
不用交一个子的电费 without spending a dime in electricity?
呃 但你还是得换灯泡 Well, you still have to change the light bulbs
根据单位面积光照率来算 given the ratio of lighting square footage,
这也是笔不小的开支 that's still significant cost.
我认为现在是时候 I think the time has come to introduce a
介绍一位特殊的嘉宾了 very special guest,
T.S.的母亲 克莱尔博士 T.S.'s mother, Dr. Clair.
嗨 T.S. Hello T.S.
嗨 妈妈 Hello Mom.
哎 卧槽！ Ah, fuck!
克莱尔博士 你从蒙大拿赶来了 Dr. Clair, you have come here directly from Montana
你是T.S.的母亲 对吗？ you are T.S.'s mother, correct?
是的 Yes. That's right.
他妈的 Fuck.
T.S. 为什么你要在镜头前说 T.S., why did you say in the media that you
你是个孤儿 这是史密森学院的设计么？ were an orphan, is this some spin coming from the Smithsonian?
我不知道 I don't know.
我以为不这么说他们会把我送回家 就不能领奖了 I thought they would send me back home before I could receive the award.
克莱尔博士 你一定急坏了 Dr. Clair, You must have been worried sick,
他还这么小 I mean, he is so small.
是啊 当你的孩子失踪的时候 Yes, well, when a child disappears,
你的世界似乎都停止转动了 the world stops turning.
但你也一定非常生气... But, surely you must have been very angry. When you heard..
恕我直言 With all the respect
您问了我一个问题 我希望能把要说的说完 You asked me a question, I would like to finish my answer.
当你的孩子失踪了 When your child disappears
你会失去理性 well, you'll lose your sanity.
有些人把山羊踢出铁丝网 以此发泄 Some will channel their anger by kicking goats out of barbwire.
抱歉 你说山羊？我们讨论起山羊来了 I'm sorry..Goats! We're talking goats?
还有些人会去寻找不存在的甲虫 Others will surf the beetles that don't exist.
那些失踪了的人就像搭上了一辆不会回头的火车 Those are just feared merely take a train that is never coming back
所以 有时候 你只能站在铁路边 so sometimes you just stop by the tracks,
盯着铁轨发呆 and stare at the rails.
你偷看了我的日记 So you read my journal ...
对不起 I'm sorry.
我错了 I know it's not right.
那送一把枪给一个孩子做礼物没错么？ What about giving a gun to a child as a gift?
或是让两个孩子 Or letting two kids play
在谷仓里玩枪 with a gun, in a barn,
却没人看着 unsupervised...
你觉得那样做对么？ You think that's right?
确实是个好问题 That's good question actually!
T.S. T.S.
谷仓里到底发生了什么？ What happened in the barn?
T.S.？ T.S.?
不是你的错 T.S. Wasn't your fault, T.S.
不是你的错 It wasn't your fault.
那不是 It wasn't.
不是任何人的错 It wasn't anyone's fault.
那是一场意外 It was an accident.
就像你爸说的 As your father said,
发生了的 what happened ...
就发生了 just happened...
好了 我想... OK, I think,
T.S. 克莱尔博士 T.S. .. Dr Clair
我们得停一停 We should,.. We should have a moment.
暂时忘记摄像机 Just...just forget the cameras
和观众们 and the audience,
也许 你们现在... and just.. maybe...
来个拥抱？ hug?
流点眼泪？摸一摸？ Cry? Touch, maybe?
说真的 我想问问你选美比赛的事 Actually, I wanna ask you about beauty pageants.
我知道美洲小姐 I know Miss America
和美国小姐是不同的比赛 and Miss USA different,
但他们挑选女性的... But the criteria they use
评判标准又肤浅又不害臊 ..is shameful.. Why?..
妈 妈! Mom! Mom!
...有必要非得花枝招展... I guess the crown necessarily be a ravishing beauty...
妈妈！ ..underfed... Mom!
啥？ What?
噢 好 Oh, Yeah.
你想留还是想走？ You will stay here or go?
好 想走 Go.
汹涌的感情啊... A river... of emotion ...
站住 回来！ No, No, come back!
这是个20分钟的节目 还剩9分钟 This is a 20 minute interview, there's 9 minutes left.
改真人秀了 这可比什么科学有趣多了！ This is reality, this is better than science!
您正在收看的是有线电视！ This is cable TV.
你这个肮脏的小骗子 You're a filthy little liar.
你操了你妈 You're a little m***r.
等等！ Wait! wait! Oh!
你们这是上哪去？ Where do you think you are going?
回铜顶牧场 To Coppertop ranch.
切！ Cut!
你没事吧？ You OK?
你没事才是最重要的 Reckon if you're OK, that's all it gots!
我儿子没事 My boy's OK.
据说啊我是哑巴 So, I'm mute..
还嗝屁了 and I'm dead?
对不起 爸 Sorry, Dad.
那天你看见我在路上怎么没停下来 How come you didn't stop that morning when you saw me on the road?
说实话 我那天真没见着你 Rancher's word , I never saw you.
我需要一箱饼干 一箱混合饼干 和饼干混频器 I need a box of biscuits, a box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit mixer.
你在跟我说话还是跟花生酱说话？ Are you talking to me or are you talking to the peanut butter?
我在练绕口令 傻瓜 Its a diction exercise, moron.
我们自己得为明年练练嗓子了 You'd be better out trying some yourself enough here
到时你又上电视了的话 or make it on TV again.
对着镜头才能有话可说 I've got some more to do in the public speaking department.
干脆你直接给我们看看你上电视的那一天要怎样表现 How about you just show us how its done the day you're in a movie.
是啊 或者上蒙大拿小姐选美的时候 Yeah, or in the running for Miss Montana.
或者是去上一部真人秀 讲的一个普通人 Or a reality show about a normal person
跟一群荒唐、险恶、死板的人一起生活的事 living with a bunch of insane hostile degenerates.
说起这个 有谁知道 Speaking of which, does anyone know
你们老爸什么时候还会进来吃早餐么？ if or when your father is showing up for breakfast?
你俩还没和好？ You guys don't ever made up?
听着 我知道山羊什么都吃 再清楚不过 Look, I know goats eat everything, including paper... I get'em, I get'em.
但他们其中有一只羊 But, the fact that one of them
跳过厨房的窗口 把我所有的笔记吃了 climbed through the kitchen window and eat all my notes
那上面我记了雌马嗡蜣螂如何用角交配 on the female Ontophagus sagittarius, and how it copulates with its horns
这就不能原谅了 that is inexcusable.
我没事 我没事 It's okay, it's okay.
胎动而已 He's just kicking.
我觉得你又要在厨房生小孩了 I thought you're going to give birth on the kitchen again?
又要？我从没在厨房生过小孩 Again? I never gave birth in kitchen.
是么？ Really?
那为什么我的名字叫司柏柔（麻雀）？ Then, why is my name Sparrow?
那是格雷西的主意 No, That was Gracie's idea.
她那天在厨房里 She found a dead sparrow
发现了一只死麻雀 我刚好那天在医院生了你 here in the kitchen, the day I had you in the hospital.
所以她觉得你是那只麻雀转世来的 So she concluded that you were the reincarnation of the sparrow.
我死后 会转世成大象 I know when I die, an elephant will be born.
噢 不要 Oh, no!
就统计上来说 Statistically speaking,
下一位新出生的斯比维特有很大可能 there are better chances that next newborn Spivet, will be
会是一个 the reincarnation ...
面包机的转世 of a toaster.
同时, And in mean time,
我只有一个月的时间用来完成我的 I had only one month left to finish my plans
新的永动机设计了 for a new perpetual motion machine.
谨防平庸 Beware mediocrity ...
心灵的典范 mold of mind.
我们谈论的是贝尔德奖 We're talking about Baird prize!
老爸现在确实很享受 Armas nunca mais, meninos!
我的娱乐就是发明 Entertainment. Between di-ver-sion!
啊 Alas!
思绪如河 A river of emotions.
故事讲完了 The story ended
别跟我玩这些, T. S. Do not play this with me, T. S.
当心点 小子 Take care, kid.
你叫什么名字 What's your name?
女士们先生们 我叫T.S 斯派维！ Ladies and Gentlemen: T.S Spivet!
