And then I'll give some lovely little commentary.
内容真丰富啊。
Such variety.
好吧。
Alright then.
不多说了，咱们开始讲故事吧。
Without further ado, let's get into the story.
只要说好。
Just say yes.
从前有个男人，总是答应别人的一切要求。
Once there was a man who always said yes.
这个男人叫托尼。
This man's name was Tony.
从小时候起，托尼就对什么都答应。
Ever since Tony was a child, he said yes to everything.
所以打小起，托尼就从不拒绝。
So from the time Tony was a child, he always said yes.
当托尼的父亲问他晚饭想不想吃三文鱼时，他都说好。
When Tony's father asked if he wanted salmon for supper, Tony said yes.
三文鱼是粉红色的鱼，至少它的肉是粉红色的。
Salmon is a pink fish or at least the meat of salmon is pink.
三文鱼在日本特别受欢迎，常用来做寿司，虽然‘salmon’里的‘l’不发音，但它确实是优质蛋白质的来源。
Salmon is particularly popular in Japan with sushi and salmon s a l m o n, although the l is silent, salmon is a particularly good source of protein.
其实托尼讨厌三文鱼，但他已经答应了，所以只能吃。
Actually, Tony hated salmon, but he'd said yes to it, so he had to eat it.
当朋友问他要不要一起踢足球时，托尼也答应了。
When his friends asked if he wanted to play football with them, Tony said yes.
他其实根本不喜欢踢足球，经常在踢球时弄伤自己，可既然答应了，就只能去踢。
Actually, hated football, and he often hurt himself playing it, but he'd said yes, so he had to play football.
老师问他愿不愿意在全班面前做演讲，托尼也答应了。
When his teacher asked him if he wanted to give a speech in front of the class, Tony said yes.
老师特别惊讶，因为几乎所有的孩子都拒绝了。
The teacher was very surprised, almost all kids said no.
我不知道你们的老师有没有逼你们在全班面前讲话，但托尼就遇到过这种事。
I don't know if your teachers ever made you give a speech, talk in front of the class, but this happened to Tony.
但托尼答应了，所以每周他都得在全班面前演讲，其他孩子还在操场上拿这事笑话他。
But Tony said yes, so every week Tony had to give a speech in front of the class and all the other kids made fun of him in the playground for it.
操场上是学生们在课间和午餐时间玩耍的地方，取笑别人就是说人家蠢，对着人家笑，故意调侃他。
So the playground is where children play during school, in break time and lunchtime, and when you make fun of someone you go, you're stupid, you laugh at someone, you make fun of them.
当然啦，你不会这么做，因为听《EasyStoriesInEnglish》的都是善良的人。
Obviously you don't do that because you listen to EasyStoriesInEnglish and only lovely people listen to EasyStoriesInEnglish.
长大后情况也没好转，反而更糟了。
Things didn't get better as an adult, in fact things got worse.
成年人面对的问题，远比小时候重要得多。
The kinds of things people ask you as an adult are far more important than when you're a child.
所以，成年人常被问到的事情，都更关键。
So people ask you more important things as an adult.
当托尼的朋友米兰达问他要不要一起去哈萨克斯坦时，托尼答应了。
When Tony's friend Miranda asked him if he wanted to go to Kazakhstan with her, Tony said yes.
首先，托尼其实不喜欢米兰达，她根本不是个好朋友，整天抱怨她那些糟糕的男友，老是说‘他太差了’‘太蠢了’‘对他太刻薄了’，而且只顾着自己开心。
First of all, firstly, Tony didn't like Miranda, she was a bad friend, she spent most of the time complaining about her horrible boyfriends, so she was always complaining like, oh, they're so bad, they're so stupid, they're so mean about her boyfriends, and she only did what she wanted to do.
但真正的问题是，托尼对马过敏，而米兰达却安排了一整个骑马度假。
But that wasn't the real problem, the real problem was that Tony was allergic to horses and Miranda had planned an entire holiday of horse riding.
如果你对某种东西过敏，就不能碰或吃它，否则身体会严重反应。
When you are allergic to something, you have an allergy, then you cannot, touch or eat this thing because you will have a very bad reaction.
很多人对蜜蜂或黄蜂过敏，也有很多人对花生或其他食物过敏。
Many people are allergic to bees or wasps, Many people are allergic to peanuts or other kinds of food.
如果一个对花生过敏的人吃了花生，可能得送医院。
If someone with a peanut allergy eats peanuts, they might have to go to hospital.
通常皮肤上会冒出很多红疹，喉咙也可能开始发紧。
Usually they will get lots of red spots on their skin called a rash, and their throat might start to close-up.
当然，米兰达早就计划好了整个假期都骑马，因为在哈萨克斯坦，骑马就是这么回事。
And of course Miranda has planned an entire holiday, a whole holiday of riding horses, because that's what you do in Kazakhstan.
他们一到哈萨克斯坦，米兰达问他要不要去骑马，托尼只能点头答应，结果他真的住进了哈萨克斯坦的医院，浑身是红疹，喘不上气，完全喘不过气来。
When they got to Kazakhstan and Miranda asked if he wanted to go horse riding, Tony could only say yes, and that was how he ended up in a Kazakh hospital covered in red spots and unable to breathe, unable to breathe like he could not breathe.
米兰达在他床边守了一天，后来觉得无聊，就丢下他一个人去骑马了。
Miranda stayed by his bed for a day but then she got bored and went off to ride horses without him.
当然，她每隔一天就来看他一次，带些糖果和纪念品。纪念品就是旅行时买来留作回忆的东西。但他大部分时间都躺在床上，看些糟糕的哈萨克电视剧。
Sure, she visited him every other day, every other day, so every two days, and brought him sweets and souvenirs, so souvenirs are things you buy when you're traveling to remember your journey, But he spent most of the time lying in bed watching bad Kazakh soap operas on the TV.
电视剧就是每天都会播的连续剧，通常制作质量不高，你得天天追才能跟上剧情。
So a soap opera is a drama series that goes on every single day, Soap operas are usually quite bad quality, you have to watch them regularly to understand the storylines.
这些剧根本就是为了卖广告里的产品才拍的。
Soap operas are really just there to sell the products that appear in the advertisements during the episodes.
所以才叫‘肥皂剧’。
That's why they're called soap operas.
说白了，就是为了卖肥皂。
They're there to sell soap basically.
至少托尼还能跟护士们聊点有意思的。
At least Tony could have interesting conversations with the nurses.
他本来是医生，对其他国家的医疗体系特别好奇。
See, was a doctor and he was curious about health care in other countries.
医疗体系就是指医院、医生、护士这些机构和人员组成的系统。
So health care is the system of hospitals, doctors, nurses and so on.
他想知道在哈萨克斯坦当医生或护士是什么感觉。
He wanted to know what it was like to be a doctor or a nurse in Kazakhstan.
来哈萨克斯坦之前，托尼以为那里的医疗条件很简单，但其实这家医院在治疗过敏方面非常专业，尤其是马匹过敏——治疗就是指针对疾病采取措施，帮助病人好转。
Before coming to Kazakhstan, Tony had thought that the health care there was very simple, but actually this hospital was very good at treating allergies, especially horse allergies, so when you treat something there is an illness and you try to cure it, you try to make it better, you treat it.
医生治疗病人，就是想办法帮他们恢复健康。
A doctor treats their patients, they treat people, they try to help them get better.
从我还是孩子的时候，我就想专攻马匹过敏的治疗，”可汗医生说。
Ever since I was a child I wanted to treat horse allergies, said Doctor Khan.
可汗医生是这家医院的主治医生。
Doctor Khan was the lead doctor at the hospital.
我整天梦见马，也梦见马匹过敏。
I dreamed about horses and I dreamed about horse allergies.
真美好啊，”托尼说。
How lovely, said Tony.
我们的一位总统就是死于马匹过敏，”医生接着说。
One of our presidents died from a horse allergy continued the doctor.
所以对我来说，这是一份很严肃的工作。
So it's serious work for me.
现在我们是全球治疗马类过敏最顶尖的医院。
Now we are the number one hospital in the world for treating horse allergies.
谢谢你，汗医生，托尼说。
Thank you, Doctor Khan, said Tony.
你显然很热爱自己的工作。
You clearly love your work.
对吧？
Don't you?
你也是医生，对吧？
You're a doctor as well, aren't you?
但托尼并不喜欢自己的工作。
But Tony didn't love his work.
他从来就没想过要当医生。
He'd never wanted to be a doctor.
他小时候，和父亲有过这么一段对话。
When he was a child, he had a conversation with his father that went like this.
孩子，你长大以后想做什么？
What do you want to be when you grow up, son?
我不知道，爸爸。
I don't know, dad.
你想赚很多钱吗，孩子？
Do you want to make lots of money, son?
想啊，爸爸。
Yes, dad.
嗯，想赚钱的选择很多，但不是每个都好。
Oh, well, there are lots of options for that, but not all of them are good.
你想做一份好工作吗，孩子？
Do you want to do a good job, son?
一份能帮助别人的工作？
A job that helps people?
是的，爸爸。
Yes, dad.
那看来只剩下一种选择了——当医生。
Well then I guess that only leaves one option a doctor.
你觉得怎么样？
What do you think?
你想当医生吗？
You want to become a doctor?
是的，爸爸。
Yes dad.
其实托尼特别怕血，怕血就是说一看见血就受不了，肠胃特别敏感。
Actually Tony was squeamish So squeamish means you can't stand the sight of blood, basically you have a very weak stomach.
如果你怕血，看到血或者内脏——内脏就是我们体内的东西，比如心脏、肺、肝脏、胃——
If you're squeamish and you see blood or organs, organs are the bits inside us like your heart, your lungs, your liver, your stomach.
要是你一看到血或者内脏就怕，可能会晕过去，就是直接昏倒。
If you see organs or blood and you're squeamish, you might faint, you might pass out, basically fall asleep.
另外，容易恶心的人通常也不愿看到骨头。
Another thing that squeamish people might not want to see is bones.
骨头是我们身体里那些坚硬的白色部分。
Bones are the hard white bits inside our body.
托尼特别容易恶心，对血、骨头、内脏都受不了，连剪指甲都嫌恶心，生肉、没煮过的肉也看不得。
So Tony was squeamish, he was terribly squeamish, he was squeamish about blood bones and organs, he was squeamish about cutting his nails, he was squeamish about raw meat raw meat uncooked meat.
所以当医生对他来说简直是灾难。
So being a doctor was a terrible choice for him.
幸好他爸爸没问他想不想当外科医生。
It was lucky that his father hadn't asked if he wanted to be a surgeon.
外科医生，就是做手术的人。
So a surgeon s u r g e o n is someone who does operations.
外科医生做手术，会切开身体，摆弄里面的器官。
So surgeons do surgery, they cut open bodies and move around the bits inside.
是的，比如外科医生可以做心脏手术，我肩膀动过手术，就是外科医生给我做的。
Yeah, so a surgeon might perform a heart surgery, I had an operation on my shoulder, so a surgeon did surgery on my shoulder.
很明显，如果你容易晕血，做手术可能是最糟糕的选择。
And obviously, if you're squeamish, surgery is probably the worst thing you can do.
但托尼最终克服了这种恐惧。
But Tony got over his squeamishness.
他挺过去了，超越了它，彻底解决了这个问题。
He got over it, he went past it, he solved the problem.
他刚开始学医的时候，几乎每天都会晕倒。
When he started studying medicine, he fainted almost every day.
其他学生和老师都觉得这很好笑。
The other students and teachers found it funny.
他们管他叫‘晕倒的托尼’，还拿他开玩笑。
They called him Fainting Tony and made fun of him.
每次老师展示血液或器官的图片时，大家都会等着听托尼重重摔在地上的声音。
Every time a teacher showed a picture of blood or organs, they waited for the thump of Tony hitting the floor.
‘砰’就是东西撞到地上发出的声音，没错，就是那种声音。每次看到这类图片，大家都知道托尼准会晕，于是都等着听他摔下来的那声‘砰’。
So thump is the noise when something hits something, yeah, like that's a thump, So they were all waiting when they saw these pictures, they knew Tony would faint, so they all waited to hear the boom, the thump of him hitting the floor.
他每次晕倒都特别夸张。
He always fainted very dramatically.
后来，他晕倒的次数越来越少。
Eventually, stopped fainting so much.
从每周晕一次，慢慢变成每月一次。
He would only faint once a week, and then once a month.
最后，他整整一年都没再晕倒过。
Finally, he could make it through a whole year without fainting.
他不再那么敏感了，还成了一名非常出色的医生。
He was no longer squeamish, and actually he became a very good doctor.
所以托尼这一生，总是说好。
So Tony lived his whole life saying yes.
他玩自己不喜欢的游戏，吃自己不爱吃的食物，做自己不想干的工作，有时甚至跑到哈萨克斯坦的医院，或者陪米兰达看一部特别无聊的电影，听她唠叨她男朋友满背的痘痘。
He played games he didn't want to play, he ate food he didn't want to eat, he did a job he didn't want to do, and sometimes he ended up in a hospital in Kazakhstan or watching a really boring film with Miranda while she talked about her boyfriend's spotty back.
‘痘痘’就是脸上或背上长了很多小疙瘩。
So spotty having lots of spots on it.
是啊，说到痘痘，我脸上现在就有几颗。
Yeah, when you have a spot, I actually have some spots on my face right now.
痘痘就是皮肤上那些红红的、难看的小疙瘩。
Spots are these like nasty red bits you get on your skin.
有时候托尼半夜睡不着，就在想，为什么我总是对别人有求必应？他一遍遍问自己，我怎么就从来不会拒绝？
Sometimes Tony lay awake at night wondering why he always said yes to everyone, so sometimes he couldn't sleep and he wondered, he thought about why do I always say yes?
他的身体好像天生就不会说不。
It was like his body couldn't say no.
他小时候肯定说过，只是现在想不起来了。
He must have said it when he was a child surely, but he couldn't remember.
也许有那么一次，他真的说过不，但自那以后，这个词就被深埋起来了。
If he had ever said the word, something had changed, and now the word was locked away deep inside of him.
就像被关进了一个盒子里，再也出不来。
Locked away like trapped, held in a box maybe.
但有一天，有人问了托尼一件事，这件事，他怎么也说不出口同意。
But one day, someone asked Tony something that he simply couldn't say yes to.
托尼，你愿意娶我吗？
Tony, will you marry me?
是米兰达。
It was Miranda.
米兰达在向他求婚。
Miranda was asking him to marry her.
就是那个在哈萨克斯坦差点害死他的朋友米兰达。
Miranda, the friend who had almost got him killed in Kazakhstan.
托尼简直不敢相信。
Tony couldn't believe it.
那次骑马度假之后，他们很久都没联系了。
After the horse riding holiday, they hadn't spoken for a long time.
托尼以为他们的友谊已经结束了，他还挺高兴的，但后来米兰达还是问他要不要去打保龄球。
Tony thought their friendship was over, and he was happy about this, but eventually Miranda had asked Tony if he wanted to go bowling.
保龄球就是玩的时候，你把三个手指和一个拇指插进一个大球里，往后拉再往前扔，球沿着一条长长的木道滚出去，尽头排着十个三角形的球瓶，目标就是把它们全打倒——这就是保龄球。
So bowling is this game where you have a really big ball that you put three fingers and a thumb into, you pull the ball back and throw it down a long wooden path, At the end of the wooden path there are 10 bowling pins in a triangle and you're trying to knock over the bowling pins that's bowling.
所以米兰达问托尼要不要去打保龄球。
So Miranda had asked Tony if he wanted to go bowling.
托尼其实讨厌打保龄球，但他还是答应了，两人的友谊就这样重新开始了——可结婚？这怎么可能。
Tony hated bowling but of course he said yes and their friendship started up again but still marriage?
托尼和米兰达只是朋友，虽然有一次打保龄球时，米兰达喝得不少。她通常点那种保龄球馆里卖的便宜鸡尾酒。保龄球馆就是你去打保龄球的地方，鸡尾酒呢，像内格罗尼、侧车、莫斯科骡子、白俄、黑俄、螺丝刀、长岛冰茶之类的——哎，我现在还真想喝一杯。
Tony and Miranda were just friends Although there was that one time at bowling Miranda always drank, usually she had one of the cheap cocktails they served at the bowling alley, So a bowling alley is where you go bowling, and cocktails are drinks like Negronis, Sidecars, Moscow Mules, White Russians, Black Russians, Screwdrivers, Long Island iced teas, oh I kind of want a cocktail now.
有时候她也会喝啤酒。
Sometimes she had beer.
随着时间推移，托尼的保龄球技术越来越好，但米兰达始终烂得可以。
Over time Tony got better at bowling, but Miranda was always terrible.
他忍不住想，她是不是在故意让着我？
He wondered if she was letting him win, so he asked himself, is she letting me win?
她是不是在放水给我赢？
Is she allowing me to win?
他们打球时托尼从不喝酒，可惜米兰达也从没问过他要不要喝，估计是不想掏他的钱。
Tony never drank while they played, unfortunately Miranda never asked if he wanted a drink, she probably didn't want to pay for him.
有一晚，米兰达喝得酩酊大醉，托尼帮她叫了辆出租车。
One night Miranda got very drunk and Tony helped her get into a taxi.
她上车前转过身来问他：托尼，你想吻我吗？
Just before she got in she turned to him and said Tony do you want to kiss me?
托尼说‘当然想’，心里却恨透了自己，然后她就吻了他。
Oh yes said Tony hating himself and she kissed him.
说实话，一个醉鬼的吻还挺温柔的，可接着她就在车里吐了，然后才上车。
Actually for a drunk person it was quite a nice kiss, but then she vomited inside the taxi and got in.
那可就一点都不浪漫了。
That was not so nice.
现在米兰达居然问他要不要娶她。
And now Miranda was asking if he wanted to marry her.
她既没带他去山里度假，也没约他吃浪漫晚餐，没有，她直接冲进他上班的办公室，当面问了他。
She didn't take him on a holiday to the mountains or take him to a romantic dinner, no she had walked right into his office while he was working and asked him.
所以她根本不是在什么浪漫场景下求婚的，就是跑到他工作的地方，直接开口问了。
So she didn't ask in any romantic way, she just went to him at work and asked.
托尼沉默了很长时间。
Tony stayed quiet for a very long time.
那个词就在那儿，开头是个‘n’。
The word was in there, the word began with an n.
一开始，这个词卡在他胃里，他觉得恶心，根本不确定这词会从哪个地方冒出来——是嘴，还是……别的地方。
At first the word sat in his stomach, he felt sick, he wasn't sure which end of his body the word was going to come out of, So maybe the word would come out of his mouth or maybe the word would come out of his bottom.
但慢慢地，这个词从胃里往上爬，穿过喉咙，终于到了嘴里。
But slowly the word climbed out of his stomach, up his throat and into his mouth.
它停在舌尖上，最后终于从嘴唇里溜了出来。
It sat on his tongue and finally it came out of his lips.
不行，”他说，语气像第一次尝到某种怪味道。
No, he said like he was tasting a strange food for the first time.
这个词一出口，就像辣咖喱一样灼烧着他的嘴。
The word burned his mouth like a spicy curry.
不行？
No?
米兰达说。
Said Miranda.
有一瞬间，他以为自己要完了。
For a moment, he thought that this was the end.
他就会这样死掉，被这个陌生女人在自己的办公室里害死。
This was how he would die, this strange woman would kill him in his own office.
天哪，太好了，”她一边说，一边在他旁边的椅子上坐了下来。
Oh thank god she said sitting down in the chair next to him.
我真怕你会答应。
I was so worried you would say yes.
我们结婚绝对是个糟糕的主意，可我偏偏就爱这种糟糕的主意。
Us getting married would be a terrible idea, but I seem to love terrible ideas.
托尼，我好孤单。
Tony, I'm so lonely.
当你孤单的时候，你总是一个人，心里特别难过。
When you're lonely, you're always alone, and you feel very sad about it.
我谈过的每个男朋友都糟透了。
Every boyfriend I've had has been horrible.
我向你求婚，只是因为你总是对什么都答应。
I only asked you to marry me because you always say yes to everything.
我不明白。
I don't understand.
说个不字又不会要你的命。
Saying no wouldn't kill you.
当我们说‘这不会要你的命’，意思其实就是：你为什么不做呢？
So when we say something wouldn't kill you, it's like, why don't you do this?
这又不会要你的命。
It wouldn't kill you.
她双手捂住了脸。
She held her head in her hands.
这些年你为我做了这么多。
You've done so much for me over the years.
你为了我差点把命都搭上了。
You've almost died for me.
你为什么总是答应一切？
Why do you always say yes?
托尼的眼睛一下子睁大了。
Tony's eyes opened wide.
他不知道该怎么回答这个问题。
He didn't know how to answer that question.
从来没人问过他这样的问题。
Nobody had ever asked him before.
大概是因为他们喜欢他总是答应。
It was probably because they liked him saying yes.
这样事情对他们来说更简单。
It made things easier for them.
他缓缓说道：小时候，妈妈问我愿不愿意和她一起去游泳。
Well, he said slowly, when I was a child, my mother asked me if I wanted to go swimming with her.
这事儿挺奇怪的。
It was strange.
我们从来就不一起做事。
We never did things together.
我从小就更喜欢我爸。
I always liked my father more.
我拒绝了。
I said no.
我不喜欢游泳池里的那股氯味。
I didn't like the chlorine in the swimming pool.
氯是一种用来消毒泳池的化学物质。
Chlorine is a chemical that they use to clean swimming pools.
拼法是 c-h-l-o-r-i-n-e，游泳时它会沾在皮肤上，游完后皮肤会发痒，特别不舒服。
It's spelt c h l o r I n e, so when you go swimming you get chlorine on your skin and then afterwards your skin is a bit itchy and uncomfortable.
第二天她就走了，他咳了咳，抱歉，她离开了我们，再也没回来。
The next day she was gone, he coughed, sorry She left us and never came back.
所以我明白了，有时候不拒绝反而更好。
So I learned that it's better to never say no.
真的吗？
Is that true?
米兰达说。
Said Miranda.
我不是见过你妈妈吗？
Didn't I meet your mother?
托尼笑了笑。
Tony smiled.
是的。
Yeah.
你说得对。
You're right.
我刚编的。
I just made it up.
我就是随口编的，完全是自己杜撰的。
I just made it up, I just invented it.
他又咳了一声。
He coughed again.
天啊，这地方的空气真差。
God the air in this place is terrible.
米兰达，我真的说不清自己为啥总爱答应别人。
Look Miranda, I really don't know why I always say yes.
我想我天生就是这样。
I think I was just born that way.
托尼回想起自己的一生，确实做过很多不想做的事，但这些经历让他成长了不少。他以前讨厌三文鱼，现在却特别爱吃，当了医生之后更明白这东西有多健康。
Tony thought back on his life, yes he'd had to do lots of things he didn't want to, but he'd grown a lot from it, He used to hate salmon, but now he loved it, and as a doctor he knew how healthy it was.
他和朋友踢足球时经常弄伤自己，但这也让他变得特别坚强，身体倍儿棒。
He often hurt himself playing football with his friends, but it had made him tough tough like strong.
现在他每周都要打好几次壁球。
And now he played squash several times a week.
壁球挺激烈的，跟网球差不多，就是打在墙上反弹。
Squash is quite an intense sports, it's like tennis, but you hit the ball against a wall.
他以前特别怕在全班面前讲话，现在却常在医学会议上发言，别人都说他演讲特别棒。
He'd hated giving those speeches in front of his class, but now he regularly spoke at medical conferences and people told him he was an excellent speaker.
虽然当医生之前他晕过去上千次，但职业生涯还算成功，工作稳定，也特别喜欢和病人打交道。
And although he had to faint a thousand times before becoming a doctor, he'd had a successful career, he'd had a good job, and he loved working with his patients.
不过他已经四十多岁了。
Still, he was in his 40s.
他有一套房子，其实并不想要，只是房产中介问了他一句要不要，他就答应了。
He had a house he didn't want, because the estate agent had asked him if he wanted it.
房产中介就是带你去看房、帮你买房的人。
So an estate agent is someone who shows you around houses and helps you buy a house.
他还是单身。
He was single.
每次他试着约会，总有人主动靠近，他当然全都答应了，结果对方全生气了，甩了他。
Every time he tried to date someone, another person came along, and of course, he said yes to all of them, which meant they all got angry and left him.
尽管他过着不错的生活，但如果有人问他：你接下来的人生想做什么？
And although he'd had a good life, if someone asked him, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?
他也不知道该怎么回答。
He wouldn't know what to say.
你不觉得是时候该改变了么？
Don't you think it's time to change?
米兰达说。
Said Miranda.
是时候学会说不了吗？
Isn't it time to start saying no?
是的，托尼说。
Yes, said Tony.
是的，没错。
Yes, is.
我明白问题出在哪了。
I see the problem.
好，咱们试试看。
Alright let's try it out.
今晚去打保龄球吗？
Do you want to go bowling tonight?
托尼深吸了一口气。
Tony took a deep breath.
不去。
No.
这感觉挺奇怪的。
It was a strange feeling.
就像他的身体变成了一匹在哈萨克斯坦草原上自由奔跑的马。
It felt like his body was a horse running free through Kazakhstan.
要不要一起去喝一杯？
Do you want to go get a drink?
我请客。
I'll pay.
不行。
No.
托尼的眼睛疼，手指也完全没知觉。
Tony's eyes hurt, and he couldn't feel his fingers.
你愿意嫁给我吗？
Do you want to marry me?
绝对不行。
Hell no.
托尼站起身，头昏眼花，胃里翻江倒海，眼前一片漆黑。
Tony stood up, his head hurt, his stomach danced, he started seeing black.
好极了！
Good!
米兰达从椅子上跳起来大喊：你开窍了，感觉怎么样？
Shouted Miranda jumping out of her chair, you're learning, how does it feel?
托尼觉得……然后就昏了过去。
It feels and then Tony fainted.
三天后，托尼在医院醒了过来。
Three days later, Tony woke up in a hospital.
他感觉糟透了。
He felt terrible.
身上全是红斑，呼吸都困难。
He was covered with red spots and he was unable to breathe.
我这是在哪？
Where am I?
托尼问道。
Said Tony.
这可不是英国的医院。
This wasn't a British hospital.
一切都显得很不一样。
Everything looked different.
周围的人说着他听不懂的语言，窗外还飘来一股怪味。
People were speaking a different language, and there was a strange smell coming from the window.
那股味道让他头疼。
The smell made his head hurt.
护士说：你人在哈萨克斯坦。
You are in Kazakhstan, said the nurse.
哈萨克斯坦？
Kazakhstan?
接着医生走进了房间。
Then the doctor came into the room.
对，哈萨克斯坦。医生说道。
Yes, Kazakhstan, said the doctor.
我叫佐伊医生。
My name is Doctor.
佐伊。
Zoy.
你的朋友付了你的机票钱。
Your friend paid for your flight.
她知道我们，是因为几年前她骑马的时候来过我们这里。
She knew about us because she visited us when she was horse riding a few years ago.
世界上只有我们能治疗你的这种病。
We are the only people in the world that can treat your condition.
所以，这种病就是一种健康问题，是你身体上出现的状况。
So a condition is like a medical problem, like a health issue that you have.
那到底是什么病？
What is it?
托尼问。
Said Tony.
医生。
Doctor.
崔叹了口气。
Tsui sighed.
世界上只有另外九个人有这种病。
Only nine other people in the world have this condition.
你是第十个。
You're number 10.
你对说‘不’过敏。
You're allergic to saying no.
这可是
This is
一种严重的过敏。
a serious allergy.
我说过，全世界只有九个人有这种病。
I said that only nine other people in the world have it.
其中有七个已经因此早逝了。
Well, seven of them have died from it and they died young.
你能活到今天已经算幸运了，但只要你再说一次‘不’，就可能没命。
You're lucky to have lived this long, but if you ever say no again even one time, you could die.
托尼心里只有一件事想说。
There was only one thing Tony wanted to say.
天哪。
Oh, no.
但幸运的是，他还没来得及开口，医生就继续说了。
But fortunately, before he could speak, the doctor continued.
这事儿真怪。
It's strange.
有些人说这完全是心理作用，觉得这只是心理问题，不是身体上的问题。
Some people say it's all in the head, as in some people say it's just a psychological issue, not a physical issue.
所以，你也许能学会说‘不’，又不会伤害到自己。
So it's possible that you could learn to say no without hurting yourself.
可我不认同那些医生的说法。
Well I don't agree with those doctors.
他们太无知了。
They are stupid.
你认识那个叫汗的医生吗？
Have you met that doctor Khan?
我讨厌那个人。
I hate that man.
他会让你一直说不，直到你感觉好起来。
He would tell you to keep saying no until you felt better.
真是个蠢货。
Stupid man
还有他那破医院。
with his stupid hospital.
还不如一直答应下来。
Better to just keep saying yes.
不行。
No.
你肯定饿了吧。
You must be hungry.
想吃点东西吗？
Do you want something to eat?
托尼点了点头。
Yes, said Tony.
拜托了。
Please.
医生。
Doctor.
崔医生笑了。
Tsui smiled.
我们医院的饭菜
Our hospital has very
特别好吃。
good food.
扎里娜，把马肉端上来。
Zarina, bring in the horse meat.
好的，医生，护士回答道。
Yes doctor, said the nurse.
等等，什么？
Wait, what?
医生已经要走了。
The doctor was already leaving.
他停住脚步，转过身来。
He stopped and turned around.
别担心。
Don't worry.
我们这儿的马肉做得特别棒。
We do excellent horse meat here.
扎里娜端着一大盘马肉回到了房间。
Zarina came back into the room carrying a big plate of horse meat.
给，您请。
Here you go.
她把盘子放在他面前。
She put it in front of him.
托尼咽了口唾沫。
Tony gulped.
他感觉身上又冒出新的斑点。
He felt new spots appearing on his body.
他觉得有蜘蛛正往嘴里爬。
He felt like spiders were climbing into his mouth.
不行。
No.
整匹马正往他嘴里钻。
Entire horses were climbing into his mouth.
你没事吧？
Are you okay?
扎里娜问道。
Said Zarina.
我没事。
Yes.
你饿了吗？
Are you hungry?
是的。
Yes.
你要吃你的马肉吗？
Are you going to eat your horse meat?
托尼哭了起来。
Tony started to cry.
是的。
Yes.
他停不下来，开始吃最后一餐。
And unable to stop, he began his last meal.
结局。
The end.
好吧。
Okay.
现在我们来听这个故事，不打断了。
So now we'll listen to the story without interruptions.
好好听，好好享受。
Listen and enjoy.
只要说‘好’就行。
Just say yes.
从前有个人，总是说好。
Once there was a man who always said yes.
这个人叫托尼。
This man's name was Tony.
从小时候起，托尼对什么都答应。
Ever since Tony was a child, he said yes to everything.
爸爸问托尼要不要吃三文鱼，他都说好。
When Tony's father asked if he wanted salmon for dinner, Tony said yes.
其实托尼讨厌三文鱼，但既然答应了，就只能吃。
Actually, Tony hated salmon, but he'd said yes to it, so he had to eat it.
展开剩余字幕（还有 384 条）
朋友问他要不要一起踢足球，托尼也说好。
When his friends asked him if he wanted to play football with them, Tony said yes.
其实他根本不喜欢踢球，每次踢还老受伤，但既然答应了，就只能去踢。
Actually, hated football, and he often hurt himself playing it, but he'd said yes, so he had to play football.
老师问他愿不愿意在全班面前演讲，托尼也说好。
When his teacher asked him if he wanted to give a speech in front of the class, Tony said yes.
老师特别惊讶。
The teacher was very surprised.
别的孩子都拒绝，只有托尼一口答应。
Almost all kids said no, but Tony said yes.
所以每周托尼都得在班上演讲，课间其他孩子还拿这事笑话他。
So every week, Tony had to give a speech in front of the class, and all the other kids made fun of him in the playground for it.
长大后，情况也没好转。
Things didn't get better as an adult.
事实上，情况变得更糟了。
In fact, things got worse.
成年人被问到的问题，远比小时候重要得多。
The kinds of things people ask you as an adult are far more important than when you're a child.
当托尼的朋友米兰达问他要不要一起去哈萨克斯坦时，托尼答应了。
When Tony's friend, Miranda, asked him if he wanted to go to Kazakhstan with her, Tony said yes.
首先，托尼其实不喜欢米兰达。
First of all, Tony didn't like Miranda.
她根本不是个靠谱的朋友。
She was a bad friend.
她整天抱怨自己那些糟糕的男友，只顾着做自己想做的事。
She spent most of the time complaining about her horrible boyfriends, and she only did what she wanted to do.
但这还不是最糟的问题。
But that wasn't the real problem.
真正的问题是，托尼对马过敏，而米兰达安排的整个假期全是骑马活动。
The real problem was that Tony was allergic to horses, and Miranda had planned an entire holiday of horse riding.
到了哈萨克斯坦，当米兰达问他要不要去骑马时，托尼只能点头答应。
When they got to Kazakhstan and Miranda asked if he wanted to go horse riding, Tony could only say yes.
结果他就这么住进了哈萨克斯坦的医院，浑身长满红疹，连气都喘不上来。
And that was how he ended up in a Kazakh hospital, covered in red spots and unable to breathe.
米拉达在他床边守了一天，后来觉得无聊，就丢下他去骑马了。
Miranda stayed by his bed for a day, but then she got bored and went off to ride horses without him.
她倒是隔天来看他一次，带些糖果和纪念品，但他大部分时间都躺在床上，盯着电视上看那些烂俗的哈萨克电视剧。
Sure, she visited him every other day and brought him sweets and souvenirs, but he spent most of the time lying in bed watching bad Kazakh soap operas on the TV.
至少托尼还能跟护士们聊得挺投机。
At least Tony could have interesting conversations with the nurses.
原来托尼本身就是个医生，对其他国家的医疗体系特别感兴趣。
See, Tony was a doctor, and he was curious about health care in other countries.
他想知道，在哈萨克斯坦当医生或护士是什么感觉。
He wanted to know what it was like to be a doctor or a nurse in Kazakhstan.
来哈萨克斯坦之前，托尼以为这里的医疗条件很简单，结果这家医院治过敏特别在行，尤其是马匹过敏。
Before coming to Kazakhstan Tony had thought that the health care there was very simple but actually this hospital was very good at treating allergies especially horse allergies.
从我小时候起，我就想专治马匹过敏，”汗医生说。
Ever since I was a child I wanted to treat horse allergies said Doctor Khan.
Khan 医生是这家医院的主治医生。
Doctor Khan was the lead doctor at the hospital.
我从小做梦都想着马，想着马过敏的问题。
I dreamed about horses and I dreamed about horse allergies.
真棒啊，”托尼说。
How lovely said Tony.
我们的一位总统就是死于马过敏，”医生接着说。
One of our presidents died from a horse allergy continued the doctor.
所以对我来说，这是一份非常重要的工作。
So it's serious work for me.
现在，我们是全球治疗马过敏最顶尖的医院。
Now we are the number one hospital in the world for treating horse allergies.
谢谢您，Khan 医生，”托尼说。
Thank you Doctor Khan, said Tony.
看得出来，您真的很热爱自己的工作。
You clearly love your work.
你不觉得吗？
Don't you?
你也是医生吧？
You're a doctor as well, aren't you?
但托尼并不喜欢他的工作。
But Tony didn't love his work.
他从来就没想过要当医生。
He'd never wanted to be a doctor.
他小时候和父亲有过一段这样的对话。
When he was a child, he had a conversation with his father that went like this.
你长大以后想做什么，儿子？
What do you want to be when you grow up, son?
我不知道，爸爸。
I don't know, dad.
你想赚很多钱吗，儿子？
Do you want to make lots of money, son?
是的，爸爸。
Yes, dad.
嗯，这方面的选择很多，但并不是每个都合适。
Ah, well, there are lots of options for that, but not all of them are good.
你想把事情做好吗，孩子？
Do you want to do a good job, son?
一份能帮助别人的工作？
A job that helps people?
是的，爸爸。
Yes, dad.
那看来只剩下一种选择了——当医生。
Well then, I guess that only leaves one option, a doctor.
你觉得怎么样？
What do you think?
你打算当医生吗？
You wanna become a doctor?
是的，爸爸。
Yes, dad.
其实，托尼特别怕血。
Actually, Tony was squeamish.
他真的特别怕血。
He was terribly squeamish.
他对血液、骨头和内脏都感到害怕。
He was squeamish about blood, bones, and organs.
他连剪指甲都害怕。
He was squeamish about cutting his nails.
他看到生肉就受不了，所以当医生对他来说简直是灾难——幸好他爸没问他想不想当外科医生。不过后来托尼还是克服了这种恐惧。
He was squeamish about raw meat so being a doctor was a terrible choice for him it was lucky that his father hadn't asked if he wanted to be a surgeon But Tony got over his squeamishness.
他刚开始学医的时候，几乎每天都会晕倒。
When he started studying medicine, he fainted almost every day.
同学们和老师都觉得好笑。
The other students and teachers found it funny.
大家给他起了个外号叫‘晕倒的托尼’，还拿他开玩笑。
They called him fainting Tony and made fun of him.
每次老师一展示血液或器官的图片，大家就等着听托尼重重摔在地上的声音。
Every time a teacher showed a picture of blood or organs, they waited for the thump of Tony hitting the floor.
他每次晕倒都特别夸张。
He always fainted very dramatically.
后来托尼晕倒的次数越来越少。
Eventually Tony stopped fainting so much.
从一开始每周晕一次，慢慢变成每月一次。
He would only faint once a week and then once a month.
最后他居然能一整年都不晕倒了。
Finally he could make it through a whole year without fainting.
他再也不怕这些了，还成了非常出色的医生。
He was no longer squeamish, and actually he became a very good doctor.
所以托尼这一辈子，总是说‘好’。
So Tony lived his whole life saying yes.
他玩自己不喜欢的游戏，吃自己不爱吃的饭，干自己不想做的工作，有时候甚至跑到哈萨克斯坦的医院里，陪米兰达看一部特别无聊的电影，听她聊她那个长满痘痘的男朋友。
He played games he didn't want to play, he ate food he didn't want to eat, he did a job he didn't want to do, and sometimes he ended up in a hospital in Kazakhstan, watching a really boring film with Miranda while she talked about her boyfriend, spotty back.
有时候，托尼半夜醒着，琢磨自己为啥总是对所有人说好。
Sometimes Tony lay awake at night wondering why he always said yes to everyone.
好像他的身体根本不会说不。
It was like his body couldn't say no.
他小时候是不是就这么答应惯了？
He must have said it when he was a child, surely?
但他不记得自己什么时候说过‘不’了，好像从某一天起，这个词就被深深锁在了心里。可有一天，有人问了托尼一件事，他怎么也说不出那个‘好’字。
But he couldn't remember if he had ever said the word something had changed and now the word was locked away deep inside of him But one day, someone asked Tony something that he simply couldn't say yes to.
托尼，你愿意娶我吗？
Tony, will you marry me?
是米兰达。
It was Miranda.
米兰达在向他求婚。
Miranda was asking him to marry her.
米兰达，就是那个差点在哈萨克斯坦害死他的朋友。
Miranda, the friend who had almost got him killed in Kazakhstan.
托尼简直不敢相信。
Tony couldn't believe it.
那次骑马度假之后，他们好长时间都没说过话。
After the horse riding holiday, they hadn't spoken for a long time.
托尼以为他们的友谊已经结束了，他还挺高兴的。
Tony thought their friendship was over, and he was happy about this.
但后来，米兰达问托尼要不要一起去打保龄球。
But eventually, Miranda had asked Tony if he wanted to go bowling.
托尼讨厌打保龄球，可他还是答应了。
Tony hated bowling, but of course he said yes.
于是，他们的友谊又重新开始了。
And their friendship started up again.
可结婚？这怎么可能。
But still, marriage?
托尼和米兰达只是朋友。
Tony and Miranda were just friends.
不过，确实有过那么一次。
Although there was that one time.
每次去保龄球馆，米兰达都会喝酒。
At bowling Miranda always drank.
她通常点那种保龄球馆卖的便宜鸡尾酒。
Usually she had one of the cheap cocktails they served at the bowling alley.
有时候她也会喝啤酒。
Sometimes she had beer.
时间久了，托尼的保龄球技术进步了不少，但米兰达还是老样子，特别差。
Over time Tony got better at bowling but Miranda was always terrible.
他忍不住想，她是不是故意让着自己。
He wondered if she was letting him win.
他们打球的时候，托尼从来不喝酒。
Tony never drank while they played.
可惜，米兰达从没问过他要不要喝点什么。
Unfortunately, Miranda never asked if he wanted a drink.
她大概不想替他付钱。
She probably didn't want to pay for him.
有一晚米兰达喝得大醉，托尼帮她叫了出租车。
One night Miranda got very drunk and Tony helped her get into a taxi.
上车前她转过身来问他：托尼，你想吻我吗？
Just before she got in she turned to him and said Tony, do you want to kiss me?
当然想，托尼说，心里却讨厌自己。
Oh, yes, said Tony, hating himself.
然后她吻了他。
And she kissed him.
说真的，一个醉鬼的吻居然还挺温柔，可接着她就在车里吐了，还吐到他身上。
Actually, for a drunk person, it was quite a nice kiss, but then she vomited inside the taxi and got him.
那可就一点都不好了。
That was not so nice.
现在，米兰达居然问他愿不愿意娶她。
And now Miranda was asking if he wanted to marry her.
她既没带他去山里度假，也没约他吃浪漫晚餐。
She didn't take him on holiday to the mountains or take him to a romantic dinner.
没有。
No.
她直接闯进他办公的地方，趁他工作时问了这句话。
She had walked right into his office while he was working and asked him.
托尼沉默了好久。
Tony stayed quiet for a very long time.
那个词就在他心里。
The word was in there.
那个词开头是‘n’，一开始他只觉得恶心，胃里翻江倒海，根本不确定这词会从哪边冒出来——但慢慢地，它从胃里往上爬，穿过喉咙，终于到了嘴边。
The word began with an n at first the word sat in his stomach he felt sick he wasn't sure which end of his body the word was going to come out of But slowly, the word climbed out of his stomach, up his throat, and into his mouth.
它停在舌尖上，最后，终于从他嘴唇里吐了出来。
It sat on his tongue, and finally, it came out of his lips.
不，”他说，就像第一次尝到某种怪味的食物一样。
No, he said, like he was tasting a strange food for the first time.
那个字像辣咖喱一样灼烧着他的舌头。
The word burned his mouth like a spicy curry.
不？
No?
米兰达问。
Said Miranda.
有一瞬间，他以为自己就要完了。
For a moment, he thought that this was the end.
他就会这样死去。
This was how he would die.
这个奇怪的女人要在他的办公室里要了他的命。
This strange woman would kill him in his own office.
哦，谢天谢地，”她说着，坐到了他旁边的椅子上。
Oh, thank god, she said, sitting down in the chair next to him.
我真怕你会答应。
I was so worried you would say yes.
我们结婚绝对是个糟糕的主意，可我偏偏就爱这种糟糕的主意。
Oh, us getting married would be a terrible idea, but I seem to love terrible ideas.
托尼，我好孤单。
Tony, I'm so lonely.
我谈过的每个男朋友都糟透了。
Every boyfriend I've had has been horrible.
我向你求婚，只是因为你总是对什么都答应。
I only asked you to marry me because you always say yes to everything.
我不明白。
I don't understand.
说个不字又不会要了你的命。
Saying no wouldn't kill you.
她双手捂住了脸。
She held her head in her hands.
这些年你为我做了这么多。
You've done so much for me over the years.
你为了我差点连命都搭上了。
You've almost died for me.
你为什么总是答应一切？
Why do you always say yes?
托尼的眼睛一下子睁大了。
Tony's eyes opened wide.
他不知道该怎么回答这个问题。
He didn't know how to answer that question.
从来没人问过他这个。
Nobody had ever asked him before.
可能是因为他们喜欢他总是答应。
It was probably because they liked him saying yes.
这样事情对他们来说更简单。
It made things easier for them.
他缓缓地说，小时候，妈妈问我愿不愿意跟她一起去游泳。
Well, he said slowly, when I was a child, my mother asked me if I wanted to go swimming with her.
这事儿挺奇怪的。
It was strange.
我们从来就不一起做事。
We never did things together.
我一向更喜欢爸爸。
I always liked my father more.
我拒绝了。
I said no.
我不喜欢泳池里的那股氯味。
I didn't like the chlorine in the swimming pool.
第二天，她就走了。
The next day she was gone.
他咳嗽了一声。
He coughed.
对不起。
Sorry.
她离开了我们，再也没有回来，所以我明白了，最好别拒绝任何事。
She left us and never came back, so I learned that it's better to never say no.
真的吗？
Is that true?
米兰达说。
Said Miranda.
我不是见过你妈妈吗？
Didn't I meet your mother?
托尼笑了笑。
Tony smiled.
是的，你说得对。
Yeah, you're right.
我刚编出来的。
I just made it up.
他又咳了一声，这地方的空气真是差劲。 Miranda，我真的不知道自己为啥总是答应别人，可能我生来就是这样吧。Tony 回想起自己的人生。
He coughed again god the air in this place is terrible look Miranda I really don't know why I always say yes I think I was just born that way Tony thought back on his life.
是啊，他不得不做过很多自己不喜欢的事，但这些经历让他成长了很多。
Yes, he'd had to do lots of things he didn't want to, but he'd grown a lot from it.
他以前讨厌三文鱼，现在却特别爱吃。
He used to hate salmon, but now he loved it.
作为医生，他很清楚三文鱼有多健康。
And as a doctor, he knew how healthy it was.
他以前和朋友踢足球经常弄伤自己，但这也让他变得坚强，现在他每周都打好几次壁球。
He often hurt himself playing football with his friends, but it had made him tough, and now he played squash several times a week.
他以前特别害怕在全班面前演讲，现在却经常在医学会议上发言，别人都说他演讲特别棒。
He'd hated giving those speeches in front of his class, but now he regularly spoke at medical conferences and people told him he was an excellent speaker.
虽然当医生之前他晕过去过上千次，但他的职业生涯很成功，也特别享受和病人相处的时光。
And although he had to faint a thousand times before becoming a doctor, he'd had a successful career and he loved working with his patients.
不过，他现在已经四十多岁了。
Still he was in his 40s.
他有一栋房子，其实并不想要，只是房产中介问了他要不要，他就答应了。
He had a house he didn't want because the estate agent had asked if he wanted it.
他还是单身。
He was single.
每次他试着约会，总有人主动靠近，而他当然全都答应了，结果一个个都生气地离开了他。
Every time he tried to date someone, another person came along, and of course, he said yes to all of them, which meant they all got angry and left him.
尽管他过得还不错，但如果有人问他：你接下来的人生想做什么？
And although he'd had a good life, if someone asked him, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?
他根本答不上来。
He wouldn't know what to say.
你不觉得是时候该改变了？
Don't you think it's time to change?
米兰达说。
Said Miranda.
难道不该学会说不了吗？
Isn't it time to start saying no?
是的，托尼说。
Yes, said Tony.
对。
Yes.
确实如此。
It is.
我明白问题出在哪了。
I see the problem.
好吧。
Alright.
咱们试试看。
Let's try it out.
今晚去打保龄球吗？
Do you want to go bowling tonight?
托尼深吸了一口气。
Tony took a deep breath.
不行。
No.
哦，那种感觉真奇怪。
Oh, it was a strange feeling.
他觉得自己像一匹马，在哈萨克斯坦的大地上自由奔腾。
It felt like his body was a horse running free through Kazakhstan.
要不要一起去喝一杯？
Do you want to go get a drink?
我请客。
I'll pay.
不行。
No.
托尼的眼睛疼，手指都麻了。
Tony's eyes hurt, and he couldn't feel his fingers.
你愿意嫁给我吗？
Do you want to marry me?
绝对不行。
Hell no.
托尼站了起来。
Tony stood up.
他头疼得厉害。
His head hurt.
他肚子翻江倒海。
His stomach danced.
眼前开始发黑。
He started seeing black.
好！
Good, shouted Miranda, jumping out of her chair.
你开窍了。
You're learning.
感觉怎么样？
How does it feel?
他感觉不对劲，然后就晕过去了。
It feel and then Tony fainted.
三天后，托尼在医院醒了过来。
Three days later, Tony woke up in hospital.
他感觉糟透了。
He felt terrible.
他身上全是红斑，呼吸都困难。
He was covered with red spots, and he was unable to breathe.
我这是在哪？
Where am I?
托尼问道。
Said Tony.
这可不是英国的医院。
This wasn't a British hospital.
周围的一切都显得很不一样。
Everything looked different.
人们说着一种他听不懂的语言，窗外还飘来一股怪味。
People were speaking a different language, and there was a strange smell coming from the window.
那股味道让他头疼得厉害。
The smell made his head hurt.
你在哈萨克斯坦，护士说。
You are in Kazakhstan, said the nurse.
哈萨克斯坦？
Kazakhstan?
这时，医生走进了房间。
Then the doctor came into the room.
是的，哈萨克斯坦，医生说。
Yes, Kazakhstan, said the doctor.
我姓多克。
My name is Doctor.
你的朋友给你付了机票钱。
Your friend paid for your flight.
她认识我们，是因为几年前她骑马的时候来过我们这里。
She knew about us because she visited us when she was horse riding a few years ago.
我们是世界上唯一能治疗你这种病的地方。
We are the only place in the world that can treat your condition.
那是什么病？
What is it?
托尼问。
Said Tony.
医生。
Doctor.
崔叹了口气。
Tsui sighed.
全世界只有另外九个人有这种病。
Only nine other people in the world have this condition.
你是第十个。
You're number 10.
你根本说不出‘不’字。
You're allergic to saying no.
这可是严重的过敏反应。
This is a serious allergy.
我刚说了，全世界只有九个人有这种病。
I said that only nine other people in the world have it.
其中七个已经因为这个病早逝了。
Well, seven of them have died from it, and they died young.
你能活到今天，已经算幸运了。
You're lucky to have lived this long.
但只要你再说一次‘不’，哪怕就一次，可能会没命。
But if you ever say no again, even one time, you could die.
托尼心里只有一件事想说。
There was only one thing Tony wanted to say.
天哪。
Oh, no.
但幸运的是，他还没来得及开口，医生就继续说了。
But, fortunately, before he could speak, the doctor continued.
这事儿挺奇怪的。
It's strange.
有些人说，这全是
Some people say it's all in
脑子里的事。
the head.
所以，你也许能学会说不，又不会伤害自己。
So it's possible you could learn to say no without hurting yourself.
不过，我不认同那些医生的说法。
Well, I don't agree with those doctors.
他们太蠢了。
They are stupid.
你见过那个叫汗的医生吗？
Have you met that doctor Khan?
我讨厌那个人。
I hate that man.
他会叫你一直说不，直到你感觉好起来。
He would tell you to keep saying no until you felt better.
那个傻瓜，还有他那破医院。
Stupid man with his stupid hospital.
还不如一直答应下来。
Better to just keep saying yes.
你现在一定饿了吧。
Now, you must be hungry.
想吃点什么吗？
Do you want something to eat?
是的，托尼说。
Yes, said Tony.
拜托了。
Please.
医生。
Doctor.
索伊笑了。
Soy smiled.
我们医院的饭菜特别好。
Our hospital has very good food.
扎里娜，把马肉端进来。
Zarina, bring in the horse meat.
好的，医生。
Yes, doctor, said the nurse.
等等，什么？
Wait, what?
医生已经要走了。
The doctor was already leaving.
他停了下来，转过身。
He stopped and turned around.
别担心。
Don't worry.
我们这儿的马肉做得特别棒。
We do excellent horse meat here.
扎里娜端着一大盘马肉回到了房间。
Zarina came back into the room carrying a big plate of horse meat.
给您。
Here you go.
她把盘子放在他面前。
She put it in front of him.
托尼咽了口唾沫。
Tony gulped.
他感觉身上又冒出新的疹子。
He felt new spots appearing on his body.
他觉得有蜘蛛正往他嘴里爬。
He felt like spiders were climbing into his mouth.
不。
No.
他觉得整匹马正往他嘴里爬。
Entire horses were climbing into his mouth.
你还好吗？
Are you okay?
塞雷娜问。
Said Serena.
嗯，没事。
Yes.
你饿了吗？
Are you hungry?
饿了。
Yes.
你打算吃你的马肉吗？
Are you going to eat your horse meat?
托尼开始哭了。
Tony started to cry.
是的。
Yes.
他停不下来，只好吃起了最后一餐。
And unable to stop, he began his last meal.
故事结束。
The end.
所以你就明白，我根本不可能让这个故事有个好结局。
So you just know I couldn't let this story have a happy ending.
写的时候我还以为托尼能治好他的问题，但结果呢，注定要以死亡、痛苦、悲伤、毫无希望收场，毕竟这是阿瑞尔·古德贝迪的故事，我的所有故事都非得有个悲惨、压抑、致命又恶心的结尾不可。
As I was writing it, I thought that Tony was going to be cured of his problem, but of course, it had to end with death, misery, sadness, no hope, because it's an Ariel Goodbody story, and I don't know, all of my stories just have to have a miserable, depressing, deadly, nasty ending.
对吧？
Right?
其实也不是。
Well, not really.
有时候我也会讲些可爱的故事。
Sometimes I do cute stories.
狗狗和小猫，特别萌。
Doggo and Kitty, very cute.
那里可没死人。
No death there.
但说实话，这个故事不只是我一个人写的，我其实得到了帮助，而且这帮助来自你可能想不到的东西。
But I'm gonna be honest, this story wasn't just my work, because I actually got help writing this story, and I got help from something you might not expect.
没错。
That's right.
我是靠ChatGPT来写这个故事的。
I got help from chat GPT to write this story.
如果你是节目的忠实听众，把每一集都听过了，应该还记得我做过一整集讲人工智能。
Now if you're a keen listener of the podcast, if you listen to all the episodes, you'll remember that I did a whole episode about AI.
那个故事叫Eileen，E-I-L-E-E-N。
The story was called Eileen, e I l e e n.
我会在描述里放个链接。
I'll put a link to it in the description.
在那期节目里，我假装是用ChatGPT帮忙写的故事，其实全是我自己写的。
And in that episode, I pretended I used chat gbt to help me write the story, but actually I wrote it all myself.
不过最近我对AI的看法变了。
However, I will say I've changed my mind about AI recently.
我意识到自己之前太固执了，没好好利用它，还总觉得AI是创作的敌人，会抢走我的艺术灵感。现在我觉得它就是一个工具，能帮我写东西，但真正动笔的还是我自己。
I realized I was being very stubborn, I was not using it very well, and I was kind of seeing it as anti creative, like seeing it as something that threatened creativity, that, would take away from my art, and now I'm just seeing it as a tool, something I can use to help me write, but it's not doing the writing for me.
对吧？
Right?
它就像个助手。
It's just like an assistant.
我觉得用AI写东西，大概有两种方式。
So there's two ways of using it for writing, I would say.
一种是帮你想点子，另一种是帮你修改润色。
There's generating ideas, and then there's using it to help you edit.
你也可以用它来做研究，不过目前对我来说，我还不这么用。
You can also use it for things like research, but for my purposes right now, I'm not doing that.
问题是，人们一想到AI，就觉得它能替我写故事，这其实是个误区。
The problem is people think of AI, and they think, oh, the AI is going to write the story for me, and that's not a good idea.
这恰恰是最不该用它的地方，因为AI在写作方面并不擅长。
That's the worst thing you could use it for, because it's not particularly good at writing.
不过我得说，虽然一开始AI给我生成的想法并不怎么样，但现在我已经能让它生成不错的想法了。
But I will say, although the idea generation at the start was not very good for me, I've managed to get it quite good at generating ideas.
这次的节目，我确实用它做了内容上的润色：我先自己写了个初稿，然后让ChatGPT帮我改进，给我提建议。
And I did use it for a developmental edit for this episode, I used it to help me develop the story, so I wrote the first version of the story and then got ChatGPT to help me make it better, to give me ideas.
所以，说到生成创意和内容润色这类事，你得先训练ChatGPT，让它理解你的写作风格。
So basically when it comes to things like generating ideas and getting developmental edits, you have to kind of train ChatGPT to understand you as a writer.
我做的就是上传了一堆EasyStoriesInEnglish的初级故事，让它熟悉我的表达方式，然后明确要求它按特定格式生成创意。
So what I did was I uploaded a bunch of beginner level stories of EasyStoriesInEnglish to give it an idea of how I write, and then I asked it to generate ideas with a very specific format.
我特别要求它用‘尝试-失败-再尝试’的结构来生成点子。
So I asked it to generate ideas with a try fail cycle.
这种故事结构我经常用，因为它特别容易理解，特别适合初学者的故事。
So this is a kind of story structure that I use a lot, because it's really recognizable, and it works really well for beginner stories.
在这种结构里，主角会遇到一个问题，然后尝试三次去解决：第一次尝试失败，第二次还是失败，第三次要么成功，要么虽然失败了，但从中明白了重要的道理，于是调整了自己的目标。
So in this format, you have a character who has a problem, and they try to solve the problem three times the first time they try and they fail, the second time they try and they fail, and the third time they try and succeed, or maybe the third time they try and fail and then they learn an important lesson and they change their goal.
他们最后发现，原来那个问题根本算不上问题。
They realize the problem wasn't really a problem.
举个例子，我写《The Shape of Art》这篇故事时，就用了这个‘尝试-失败’的思路，那是几个月前发布的另一集EasyStoriesInEnglish。这个结构直接启发了我，如果你读过那个故事，就能很清楚地看到这个模式——她先试着画风景画，失败了；再画肖像画，又失败了；最后尝试抽象艺术，成功了，但结果和你想象的完全不一样。
So an example of how I use this, I actually use this try fail cycle idea generation to write The Shape of Art, which is another EasyStoriesInEnglish episode from the last few months, so it gave me the idea for The Shape of Art, and if you read that story, you'll be able to see that try fail cycle very clearly, right, she tries painting landscapes, fails, she tries painting portraits, fails, she tries painting abstract art, succeeds, but not in the way you expect.
接下来我念一下ChatGPT给我提供的原始创意，后来我就是根据这个发展出了《Just Say Yes》这个故事。
So I'm going to read out the idea that ChatGPT gave me that I developed into this story, Just Say Yes.
一个什么事都答应的人，惹上了麻烦：他答应帮龙喂食，加入海盗船，还娶了个女巫。
A man who says yes to everything gets into trouble, agreeing to feed dragons, join a pirate crew and marry a witch.
他最终学会了在该说‘不’的时候说‘不’。
He learns to say no when needed.
这就是‘尝试-失败’的循环。
The try fail cycle.
第一，答应帮龙喂食，结果尾巴被烧焦了，这挺搞笑的，因为这个人又不是龙。
Number one, yes to feeding dragon leads to a singed tail, a burned tail, which is funny because this is a man, not a dragon.
这个人有尾巴吗？
Does the man have a tail?
人类一般是没有尾巴的。
Humans don't usually have tails.
这就是AI的逻辑，把龙的尾巴直接安到人身上了。
That's an example of AI logic, taking the tail from the dragon and putting it on the man.
第二，答应加入海盗船队，差点在海上丢了命。
Number two, yes to pirate crew leads to nearly lost at sea.
第三，答应娶女巫，结果差点被变成青蛙。
Number three, yes to witch, so marrying a witch, leads to nearly turned into a frog.
第四，结局来了，他拒绝了国王，国王反而笑起来，因为他诚实，就给了他一份工作。
Number four, resolution, he says no to the king who laughs and gives him a job for his honesty.
其实，我完全可以用AI给的这些点子来写这个故事。
Now I could have written this story with the ideas it gave me.
其实我挺 impressed 的。
Actually, I was quite impressed.
这个故事构思真的很敏锐。
This is actually a quite quite acute, idea for a story.
我根本没要求用这种试错循环的格式，但根据我之前和 ChatGPT 的对话，它默认我觉得这样更好。
I didn't actually ask for the ideas in this try fail cycle format, but based on previous conversations I'd had with ChatGPT, it assumed that's what I wanted.
所以你看，我其实就借了他一个点子。
So as you can see, I really just took one idea from him.
他？
Him?
它。
It.
我借了那个凡事都说好的人，结果惹上麻烦的点子。
I took the idea of this man who says yes to everything, and then gets into trouble.
我不确定这故事创意以前有没有人用过，但你能看到，当我的创意和 ChatGPT 提供点子的能力碰在一起时，真挺棒的。
So I don't know, this is probably a story idea that's been used before, but you can see there was this lovely point where my creativity and the usefulness of ChatGPT to generate ideas meets.
对，中间有个地方，它给了我足够的灵感，让我作为作家知道该怎么往下写，但又没替我把故事写出来。
Right, there's a place in the middle where it's giving me enough of an idea that as a writer I can go, I know what to do with that, but it's not writing the story for me.
于是我写了故事的第一稿，然后把稿子给ChatGPT，问它能不能找出前后不一致的地方，哪些部分不够清晰，还有哪些地方可以改进结构和人物塑造。
So then I wrote the first draft of the story, the first version of the story, and then I gave that to ChatGPT and said, could you point out any inconsistencies, anything that's not clear and consistent throughout the story, and maybe suggest ways to improve the structure of the story and the characters.
它在这方面的表现真的很出色。
And it did a very good job of this.
当然，我不是全盘接受它的建议，我还是把它的想法拿过来，用自己的方式重新改写。
Obviously, I didn't accept all the changes, and again, I took the ideas it gave me and rewrote them in my own way.
它这种编辑能力真让我挺意外的，比如它说：‘这个角色突然就变了，你得在前面埋点伏笔，暗示他后期会有转变。’
I was actually really surprised at its ability to edit in this way, you know, it said things like, oh, this character very suddenly changes here, You should add something earlier on in the story to suggest that this character might change later.
或者举例说：‘米兰达本来该是个刻薄的人，可后面她又变得挺友善的。’
Or, for example, oh, Miranda is supposed to be mean, but later on, she seems quite nice.
所以你得在前面加点细节，让人觉得她其实也有温柔的一面。
So maybe give some hints earlier in the story that she has a nice side to her.
对吧？
Right?
所以它帮我发现了这类问题。
So it helped me identify things like that.
我听说它对小说不太行，因为处理不了那么长又复杂的内容，但短篇故事它确实挺擅长提修改建议的。
Now I've heard that it's not very good with novels because it can't handle something of that length and complexity, but certainly for short stories, it seems to be pretty good actually at suggesting edits.
只要故事不是太抽象，我觉得对于那种更诗意、抽象的作品，它可能会更吃力。
As long as the story isn't too abstract, I think with more abstract and poetic stories, it would struggle more.
我现在用它用得特别多，以前这些事我都是靠谷歌的，因为它特别擅长整合各种信息来源。
I've also just been using it a lot where in the past I would use Google because I find it's really good at aggregating lots of different sources of information.
比如，我可以问：我八月要搬去中国。
Like, for example, I can ask, okay, I'm moving to China in August.
我身高多少，体重多少，该带哪些衣服？因为我的尺码在中国可能不好买，哪些东西在中国能买到，衣服大概多少钱？
This is how tall I am, this is how much I weigh, what clothes should I bring with me, because they might be difficult to buy in China in my size, what things will I be able to get in China, How much can I expect to pay for clothes?
我在英国常买的几个品牌。
These are the brands that I buy in The UK.
在中国有哪些对应的牌子？
What are the equivalents in China?
我花点钱能买到质量好一点的东西吗？
What might I be able to afford that's a bit better quality?
我能得到的建议，以前得靠谷歌搜索，但现在它更贴合我的具体情况，更针对我的需求。
So I can get advice that I could get otherwise by Googling, but it's much more tailored to me, it's much more specific to my needs.
另一个例子是，我说我经常练瑜伽，到中国后想上瑜伽课，你能告诉我瑜伽基本动作和体式的中文名称吗？
Another example of this is I said, okay, I do a lot of yoga, I want to start going to yoga classes when I'm in China, can you give me the names of basic yoga poses and positions in Chinese?
它真的做到了，给我列了一份词汇表，然后还问：你要不要我帮你做一张可以打印出来的海报，上面全是这些体式？
And it did that, it created a vocabulary list and then it said oh would you like me to make a poster that you can print out with all the poses?
我答应了，但问题在于，那些体式的图片并不全对。
And I said sure And then the problem with that was the actual poses, the pictures of the poses were not all correct.
所以它还是有缺陷，尤其是在图片方面。
So it's still got some issues, especially when it comes to images.
不过在文字信息上，它真的非常出色。
But when it comes to textual information, it's pretty damn good.
而且，很明显，AI也会编造信息。
And, obviously, AI does hallucinate.
我们说‘幻觉’，意思是它在编造信息。
We say hallucinate to mean it's making up information.
对吧？
Right?
有时候AI会凭空捏造一些根本不存在的信息，比如我可能收到一些关于移居中国不准确的建议，谁知道呢。
Sometimes AI hallucinates and creates information that simply isn't true, so I might be getting some bad information about moving to China, I don't know.
但我觉得，只要你懂得正确使用它，并且对任何关键或重要的细节都再三核实，应该就没什么问题。
But certainly I think if you know how to use it in the right way, and you're double checking any really specific or important details, it's probably fine.
我现在意识到，这跟当年电脑刚出现的时候很像，人人都得学着用文字处理软件和电子邮件，那些东西以前根本不存在。
And that's what I'm realizing is this is a similar point in the history of technology to when like computers were new, and everyone had to learn how to use word processors and email, and all of these new programs that simply didn't exist before.
我能想象，八九十年代的成年人学着用电子邮件，肯定觉得特别别扭，肯定也有人会说：‘我根本不需要这玩意儿。’
I can imagine learning to use email in the eighties or nineties as an adult must have felt quite strange, and probably there were lots of people who said, oh, I don't need this.
这东西有什么用？
What's the point?
我不想成为那种人，所以我正努力熟悉ChatGPT，把它用得顺手。
And I don't want to be one of those people, so I'm trying to get really nice and familiar with ChatGPT.
而且说实话，你还可以和它语音聊天，所以我有时候就直接问它一堆问题，比如，我想了解一下中国天主教或者基督教的整体情况，特别是我要搬去的宁波，那里有哪些教堂可以去，有没有唱诗班之类的。
And honestly, you can do voice chat with it as well, so sometimes I just ask it a lot of questions, like, oh, I want to know what's the state of the Catholic church or, sorry, Christianity like in China in general, and like where I'm moving to, Ningbo, what churches are there that I could join, and do they have choirs?
加入唱诗班会是什么感觉呢？
And what would it be like joining a choir?
它给了我很多关于不同教派和唱诗班情况的有用信息。
You know, and it gives me all this really useful information about the different denominations of churches, what the choirs might be like.
当然，我不确定这些信息到底有多准，但至少它比我自己去查要快得多，效率也高得多。
Now, again, I don't know how reliable that information is, but certainly it's done a much faster and probably more efficient job of researching that than I could do myself.
所以我觉得现在AI最大的挑战有两个：一是它有不少明显的局限，而这些局限往往得用起来才会发现。
So I think the most challenging thing about AI right now is one, it has some pretty hard limitations, and usually you discover these limitations through using it.
二是得真正搞清楚该用什么工具，以及该怎么用。
But two, it's like really knowing which tools to use and how to use them.
我回头再看自己当初跟艾琳聊天时用ChatGPT的方式，还有我那时候对它的说法，都觉得有点不好意思。
I feel slightly embarrassed when I go back to Aileen and see how I was using ChatGPT then and the way I was talking about it.
我当时根本没当回事，用得也很随意，对吧？
I wasn't taking it seriously, and I was using it quite badly, right?
问题其实出在我自己。
Like, the problem was me.
我不懂怎么用这个工具，但这也难怪，毕竟这玩意儿才发明了五年左右。
I didn't know how to use the tool, But it's difficult because it's like learning to play an instrument that was invented, like, five years ago.
对吧？
Right?
根本不存在几百年的使用经验可以参考。
So it's not like there's hundreds of years of information on how to use this instrument.
而且每隔几个月，他们就说：嘿，我们给这工具加了个新按钮，顺便说一下，如果你买的是新版，用起来会有点不一样，声音也略有不同。
And then every few months they're like, oh, we've added a new button to this instrument, and by the way, if you buy this version of the instrument, like it works a bit differently and it makes a slightly different sound.
现在AI的情况就是这样的。
That's essentially what it's like with AI right now.
所以我最近一直在听一些相关的播客，也想多试试别的AI工具，不只是ChatGPT。
So I've been kind of listening to different podcasts about it, and I'd like to experiment more with different AIs, not just ChatGPT.
我得弄清楚哪些工具适合做什么事。
I kind of need to figure out which ones to use for what.
我特别想试试用AI来做研究，因为我喜欢写那些需要大量背景资料的故事或小说，比如设定在某个历史时期的作品。
One thing I'm very excited to try doing with AI is research, because I like the idea of writing stories and novels that require a lot of research that maybe are about like a historical period or something.
但我真的特别讨厌做研究。
But I hate doing research.
每次还没开始，我就直接放弃了。
I just always give up before I even start.
但如果能用AI帮忙，肯定能大大加快进度。
But if I use AI to help me, would really speed up the process for sure.
还有一件挺奇怪的事，我得跟ChatGPT说话时像对真人一样，才能得到更好的回答。
Another thing that's a bit strange is I really have to talk to ChatGBT like it's a person, then I get better results.
有档播客里提到，你得说‘请’和‘谢谢’，哪怕只是为了自己——因为这样你会更自然地组织语言、提供背景，结果自然更好。
The way I heard this phrased on a podcast is like, you have to say please and thank you if only for your sake, because then you're gonna phrase things and give context in a way that will give you better output.
如果你只是把它当个傻机器，就不会给它像问真人那样完整的上下文。
If you're just treating it like a stupid machine, you're not going to give it the context that you would give a real person who you were asking these questions.
对吧？
Right?
你也可以直接说，我不希望你用那种方式回应。
Also, you can be quite forward about, like, I don't want you to say things in that way.
你能换一种方式表达吗？
Could you phrase it more in that way?
所以这中间有个平衡：一方面稍微把它当个人来对待，另一方面也要明白，你其实能很大程度地引导它。
So there's a balance between like kind of personifying it a bit, but also understanding that you can really shape it.
而且它会记住你之前对话中的信息，慢慢了解你。
And it does save information about you from various conversations, and it learns about you.
到目前为止，我发现这特别有用，比如我跟它讨论播客策略或者写作的时候。
And so far, I'm finding that quite helpful when I'm talking to it about like podcast strategy or writing, for example.
总之，我很想听听你是怎么使用AI的？
So anyway, I would love to hear how do you use AI?
你平时会用AI吗？
Do you use AI at all?
也许这期节目会鼓励你在工作、娱乐或创作中试试看。
Maybe this episode will encourage you to give it a go in your work, your play, or your art.
如果你想要尝试点不一样的，不妨买一本我的书吧。
And if you would like to give something different a go, why not buy one of my books?
这里又来点ASMR了，上次有ASMR，这次又来一次。
Here they are, a bit more ASMR, we had ASMR last time and now we have ASMR again.
对。
Yes.
