玩具镇 | 主题公园女孩（来自档案库#660）

他们因此获得了两项专利，你知道，这对迪士尼乐园的建设有所帮助。

They got two patents out of it, and, you know, that helped out in making Disneyland.

至于1964年的世界博览会，那个最初的版本几乎没能实现。

As far as the nineteen sixty four World's Fair goes, the fur that was the first incarnation of the ride, and it almost didn't happen.

正如我们所说，迪士尼当时已经在忙于其他多个项目，但他们一直在研发一种会跳舞的娃娃设计，这成为了后来像亚伯拉罕·林肯这样的音频机械人技术的基础，他们很喜欢运用机器人技术之类的东西。

As we said, Disney was already busy with a bunch of other attractions, but they had been working on a dancing doll design, which would become the foundation for audio animatronics like Abel Lincoln, and they kinda like using robotics and stuff like that.

他们当时还在制作一部环形影像电影，于是他们说：嘿。

They had a Circle Vision movie they were working on, and they said, hey.

我们想向联合国儿童基金会致敬。

We wanna do a tribute to UNICEF.

迪士尼似乎很擅长满足他们想要的这种展示方案。

And Disney seemed to to be this showman to give the package they wanted.

他太棒了。

He's terrific.

他手里的事情比任何人都多，但他总能完成自己设定的目标。

He's got his hands in more balls than anyone I've ever seen, but he accomplishes what he sets out to do.

那是J。

That was J.

G。

G.

穆拉利，世界博览会项目总监。

Mulally, the World's Fair program director.

根据4月22日1964年开幕日的资料，这段引文出自《纽约州博览会·纽约世界博览会》指南手册。

And according to April on 04/22/1964, the opening day, this quote is from the guidebook to the New York State Fair New York's World's Fair.

向世界儿童致敬，由沃尔特·迪士尼设计，呈现了在各国微型场景中嬉戏的动画人物。

A salute to the children of the world designed by Walt Disney presents animated figures frolicking in miniature settings of many lands.

游客们乘坐小船依次经过这些场景。

Visitors are carried past the scenes in small boats.

他们还在相邻的建筑中设置了联合国儿童基金会的其他展览，位于展馆上方。

They also, in an adjoining building, had other exhibits from UNICEF above the pavilion.

它耸立着一座120英尺高的‘四风塔’，以富有想象力的彩色造型随风舞动、旋转。

It rises a 120 foot tower of the four winds, a fanciful recreation of colored shapes that dance and twist in the breeze.

这个景点非常成功。

The attraction was incredibly successful.

在两个半赛季内，售出了100万张60美分和95美分的儿童与成人票，所得款项全部捐赠给了联合国儿童基金会。

10000060¢ and 95¢ tickets for children adults were sold in two and a half seasons, and the proceeds were donated to UNICEF.

尽管其他景点排着长长的队伍，但小世界总是有空位，因为它每小时载客量更高，这是一种宝贵的创新，并被直接应用到后来的项目中，比如海盗船。

While other attractions had really long lines, there was always a seat available on Small World because it had a higher rider per hour capacity, which was a valuable innovation and incorporated in in directly into future attractions like pirates.

所以，当你轻轻乘着小船，沿着人工运河缓缓漂流时，这就是小世界的一些情况。

And that's so that's a little bit about it's a small world as you gently ride a boat and you drift along in an artificial canal.

不过，这真让人感到安心。

So comforting, though.

是的。

Yes.

很高兴认识你。

It it was a pleasure to meet you.

我还没机会自我介绍，我的玩具世界。

And I didn't have my chance to introduce myself, my world of toys.

你知道吗，在你来之前，我曾是全球游戏的庆典，是玩具技术所有进步的象征，也是这些技术进步为全世界儿童带来的欢乐的体现。

You know, once upon a time before you came, I was a celebration of play around the world and of all the advancements in toy technology and all the joy that advancements in toy technology brought to the children of the world.

而且，事实上，我的游乐设施捕捉到了玩具的欢乐。

And also, in reality, my ride was capturing the joy of the toys.

那就是歌曲中玩具们所唱的内容。

That was what the song the toys sang.

那是孩子们带给玩具的快乐。

It was that the joy the children brought to the toys.

虽然我的这个景点已经很久没有唱歌了，也许它们再也不会唱了。

Though my book attraction hasn't sung in ages, maybe they'll never sing again.

但那正是它所传达的核心信息：玩具被玩耍时才是有意义的。

But that was the essential message that it was being played with.

而且，他们还会以另一种方式拍一部关于这个的电影。

And, again, they would make a movie about this in another way.

但关键是，玩具在被玩耍时是快乐的，而孩子们在玩玩具时也是快乐的。

But it was that the toys are happy when they're played with and the children are happy when they're playing with the toys.

你没看到的另一件事是所有的闪亮光芒。

Another thing you didn't get to see was all the sparkling.

几乎每件服装、每个玩具、每个表面都闪烁着光芒。

There were sparkles in almost every costume, in every toy, in every surface sparkles.

所以从前我确实闪闪发光，而且有很多动感。

So I really sparkled once upon a time, and there was a lot of motion.

我想他们称之为动能，钟表在动、飞舞、跳舞、唱歌，玩具们只是让我们不停旋转。

I think they called it kinetic motion, clocks and moving and flying and and dancing and singing and toys just stops us spinning.

但正如你所见，现在再也没有这种动感了。

But there's just no more motion as you saw.

真希望你能亲眼看看。

I wish you could have seen it.

也许你要是看到了，就会对我有不同的对待，因为现在我有了你带来的另一种动感。

Maybe you would have maybe you would have treated me differently than you did because now I have a different kind of motion thanks to you.

是的，我曾经也面临过批评。

And, yeah, I had my critics.

我的游乐设施有很多批评者，但他们根本无法抗拒这首朗朗上口的旋律。

There was lots of critics of my attraction, but they really couldn't find their way around that catchy tune.

你知道，他们会说我只是个广告游乐项目，目的是让孩子们去玩玩具。

You know, they would say that I was just an advertisement ride to to to tell children to play with toys.

创始人非常聪明，这个项目唤起了几乎所有十岁以上人群的怀旧之情。

With the founder, was very intelligent for the ride was sick with nostalgia for almost anyone over the age of 10.

他们会想起自己小时候玩的第一个玩具，甚至能在某些角色中看到自己的影子，感受到与玩具互动的快乐，体会到玩具被玩耍时的喜悦。

They would remember the first toy they played with, and and they would even see themselves in some of the characters or relate to the characters playing with their toys, and and they would feel good about the toys joy the joy of the toys being played with.

当然，也有人不断抱怨我的歌曲太具传染性，说它过于甜腻、过于糖分超标，如果游乐设施卡住，他们还会指责它空洞无脑。

And, yes, there were those that constantly complained of infectiousness of my song, And they would say it was over syrupy and over sugary, and if the ride got stuck, they would talk about its mindlessness.

甚至有些工作人员会偷偷戴上耳塞，以免这首歌在他们余生中不断回响。

And even some of the workers would wear hidden earplugs so they wouldn't run around singing the song for the rest of their lives.

但对大多数人来说，这首歌只是在脑海中挥之不去的一首悦耳小调，讲述着玩具的世界、玩具镇，以及我的游乐设施的赞助商——Playcorp。

But for most people, the song just stuck in their head a pleasant little tune about the world of toys and going to toy town and about Playcorp, the sponsor of my attraction.

多年来，甚至有人称我的游乐设施是宣传工具，说Playcorp还生产其他许多东西，属于所谓的MI综合体，而玩具只不过是一种分散注意力的手段。

There were even those over the years that called my attraction propaganda and said, well, Playcorp also makes all these other things as part of the, you know, the MI complex and the, you know, the toys are a distraction.

但它们确实是唯一的了，我现在都记不起那首歌了。

But they're really the only, like I don't even remember the song now.

已经过去太久了。

It's been so long.

他们说它如此上瘾，但现在我都记不起来了。

I we might they said it was so infectious, but now I can't even remember it.

我记得他们说过，当世界是个村庄时，所有的快乐都在玩具里，玩具们因为全球村庄而无比喜悦，之类的话。

Do remember that they said when the village when the world's a village, all of the joy is in toys, and the toys are overjoyed with the global village or something like that.

但你是在我的——嗯，我过去的当前状态下到达的。

But you arrived under my, well, my former current conditions.

你到达时，那就是我的曲线。

When you arrived, that was my curve.

我那时有当时的状况。

I had current conditions.

现在我有了另一套当前状况，而这两者都和我当年在世博会建成时的情况不同。

Now I have another set of current conditions, and neither neither was the same as when I was at the World's Fair when I was built here.

最初，它是一家苏打公司，当这家苏打公司被Playcorp收购后，他们赞助了公园里的玩具镇。

Originally, it was a soda corp that and when the soda corp was purchased by Playcorp, they sponsored Toy Town here at the park.

如果你把我的景点拆分开来，它原本有三个部分，我想这正是你最初开始理解的地方。

And if you were to separate my attraction, it would have been in three ways, which I think is where things started for you.

在乘坐设施的起点有一个上车区域。

There was the loading area in the beginning of the ride.

这很有趣，因为乘坐设施的开端欢迎孩子们和他们的家人进入玩具世界，开启一趟前往玩具镇的旅程。

And it was funny because the beginning beginning of the ride welcomed the children and their guests into the world of toys and a trip to Toy Town.

下一站，玩具镇。

Next stop, Toy Town.

甚至还有玩具镇快车沿着乘客登船的船只运行。

And there was even the Toy Town Express running alongside the boats that the passengers would board in.

大型、缓慢移动的船只。

Big slow moving boats.

但传达的信息是，孩子们可以随时前来参观。

But the message was that the children could visit anytime.

他们在开始和结束时都告诉过你。

They told you that at the beginning and the end.

只要你想进入玩具世界，只需闭上眼睛，拿起你的玩具，开始玩耍即可。

Anytime you wanted to come to the world of toys, just needed to close your eyes and pick up your toy and start to play.

但当你第一次来到我的区域时，情况并非如此，那里有孩子们在登上玩具镇快车。

But when you first arrived to my section, that wasn't what you know, it had children children boarding boarding the Toy Town Express.

然后，它演变为孩子们只需闭上眼睛，登上……你知道的，你可以用想象力到达玩具镇。

Then it moved on to the idea that children just closing in their eyes and boarding the you know, and you you could use your imagination to get to Toy Town.

孩子们在开始时就开始唱歌，热身演唱那首关于玩具世界、欢乐和玩具的歌曲，不管那首歌具体是什么。

And the children, you know, they had started to sing at the beginning of my attraction and warming up to the song about the world to to toy world of toys joy and toys for the world or whatever the song was.

我不记得了。

I don't remember it.

正如我所说，是的，但那外面的一切都在外部，然后穿过几扇门，但那些门早已被封死了。

Like I said, yeah, but you and the outside of that was all outside, and then it went through doors, but those doors had been sealed long ago.

所以当你刚到达上车区时，根本看不到任何孩子或玩具，因为你只看到这些生锈的、昔日的金属结构遗迹，我想那是来自特龙克斯的，它们也已经生锈了。

So when you first got to the loading area, you didn't see any children really any toys because the the children were you just saw these rusted former exos, I guess, of the metal superstructures from the Tronix, which were also rusted.

所以它们看起来像异世界的生物，有点像《库莉苏》里的蒸汽工人。

So they made strange they look like otherworldly beings almost or a bit like the steam steam workers from Curly Sue.

而大部分环境——起伏的山丘和通往玩具镇的隧道——都已融化，变成灰黑色，显得荒凉不堪。

And most of the environment, the rolling hills and the tunnel that lead it in led into Toy Town, all that had kinda melted and turned gray and black, and it looked desolate a bit.

我觉得你可能会觉得这些生物带来了荒凉，而你并不喜欢这样。

And I think you kinda thought that the beings were bringing the desolation, and you didn't like it.

谁会喜欢呢？

Who would like it?

它看起来根本不像一个可以进入的游乐设施，那些生锈的、像棍棒人一样的东西甚至已经不能动了。

It looked it wasn't an no way to enter an attraction with rusted to kinda stick figures that didn't even move anymore.

你试图打开门，好进入主游乐设施，透过小窗户隐约能看到里面。

And you tried to get your doors open so you could get into the main attraction, and you could kinda see through the little window.

你知道吗，和外面相比，里面看起来像个乌托邦，但门被封得严严实实。

And it it you know, it looks like a utopia compared to the outside, but it was sealed pretty tight.

是的。

Yeah.

因为他们比其他项目更早关闭了这个游乐设施，因为它被视为一件历史文物。

Because they closed this ride earlier than the rest because it was considered a piece of history.

当时，它是一个活的历史遗迹、地标，需要为了历史目的加以保护。

At the time, a working piece of history, a landmark, and it needed to be protected protected for for historical purposes.

而且，当时还存在争议，我想这个游乐设施的外部是在七八十年代加建的。

And, again, there was debates, you'd be and I guess the outside of the ride was added on in, like, the eighties or the seventies.

所以他们说它已经不一样了。

So they said it wasn't the same.

它的内部才具有历史保护的价值，而外部没有。

It didn't have the historical preservation needs as the inside of the ride did.

据说，游乐设施的内部是由创始人亲手打造的，他们说起时语气激动不已。

The inside of the ride was worked on by the founder, they would say in a breathless voice.

我知道，我看到了这个景点。

And I you know, I see attraction.

如果我有投票权，我会说：把一切都保留下来。

If I had had a vote, I would said, preserve all of me.

天哪。

Holy mackerel.

但你试图进去，却没能成功。

But you tried to get in and you couldn't.

于是你折返回来，从后门进去，而 ride 的末端也在外面，或者部分遮盖了卸客区。

So then you headed back and you went in through the back, and the end of the ride was also outside or partially covered the unloading area.

那一刻，这个游乐设施让整个世界的儿童受到鼓舞，鼓励他们走进玩具的世界，把玩具镇带回家——暗示一下，宾客们。

And that was a moment when the ride made the attraction and the children of the world who we were encouraging them to go out into the world of toys, bring Toy Town home, Hint hint guests.

把玩具镇的一角带回家，或者如果你的宾客很抠门，我们可没这么说。

Bring a piece of Toy Town home, or if your guests are cheap we didn't say this.

把玩具镇的精神带回家。

Bring the spirit of Toy Town home.

每天花点时间沉浸在玩具的世界里，因为你来过这里，现在你已经感受到了游戏的力量和玩具的快乐。

Spend some time in the world of toys every day because you visited, and now you've seen the power of play and the joy of toys.

你知道吗？

You know?

然后我们会对游客说：赋予你的孩子力量。

And then we'd say to the guests, empower your children.

激发他们的想象力。

Empower their imagination.

这一切都是这首歌的内容。

This was all the song.

你的孩子们正在唱这首歌。

Your children were singing it.

我们还有发光的标识牌。

We also had light up signs.

你看，谁不想通过游戏来赋予孩子力量呢？

You see, who doesn't wanna empower a child with play?

谁不想唤起欢乐的精神呢？

Who doesn't wanna evoke the spirit of joy?

我甚至不确定这是否真的是一个说法。

I don't even know if that's really a saying.

这些年来，我一直在思考这个问题。

I've been contemplating that over the years.

也许你的客人也想体验玩具带来的快乐。

Maybe your guests would want to experience the joy of toys too.

感谢您光临玩具镇。

Thank you for visiting Toy Town.

但这并不是你们所看到的游乐设施的终点，也不是你们所经历的结局。

But this was not the close of the ride that you saw, not the ending you experienced.

再次，那更像是生锈的外骨骼、简笔画人物，我想说是简笔画机器人，而且它们似乎都举着双手。

Again, it was more rusty exos, stick figures, I guess, stick robots, and they seem to all have their hands up.

即使在它们破败的状态下，它们似乎仍在庆祝某种东西，

Even in their deteriorated state, they seem to be celebrating something,

某种

some sort

胜利，似乎它们战胜了客人、父母和祖父母。

of victory, it seemed, that they were victorious over the guests, the parents, and the grandparents.

说一声，嘿。

To say, hey.

我们拿些玩具吧。

Let's get some toys.

我们花些玩具吧。

Let's spend some toys.

你知道吗，出口尽头是个礼品店。

You know, the exits end in a gift shop.

带些玩具走吧。

Take some toys with you.

有趣的是，我的登乘区在外面，但进去后是一个玩具店，里面还保留了一些历史元素，这些都被完好地保存并锁起来了。

And it was interesting how my boarding area was outside, but it went inside to a toy shop that was also had historical elements, so that was preserved and locked up tight.

你往里看了看，但并没有引起你的太多注意，因为你在这座公园里已经看过足够多的礼品店了。

And you looked in there, but it didn't quite capture your attention because you had looked in enough gift shops already in your time here at the park.

当你再次回头，透过另一组密封的门看向游乐设施内部，你决心要进去。

As you looked it backwards again through another set of sealed doors at the ride, at the inside of my attraction, and then you were determined to get inside.

里面的颜色比外面磨损退化的状态要明亮得多。

The colors were so much brighter than the worn deteriorated state on the outside.

你坐在那里看了一会儿。

And you sit to it for a while.

你尝试寻找其他入口，但出口都被封得严严实实。

You tried finding other ways in, but they had really sealed up the exits so well.

和一些其他景点一样，这里还装有太阳能电池板，用于通风和除湿系统。

And like some of the other attractions, really, with solar solar power panels, you know, created a venting and a dehumidification system.

当你进入内部后，最初是朝着游乐设施入口的门进行操作。

Well, you would see when you got inside, and you worked on the doors towards to the entrance of the ride at first.

然后你突然意识到：那条运河，还有运河底部停着的几艘小船。

And then it all hit you, the canal, then a few boats that were sitting in the bottom of the canal.

你在公园里待了一段时间，已经重新恢复了储存在山坡上的水，以及收集的雨水，这些水都被存放在高处。

And it had been a while you'd been at the park, so you had restored some of the water that was stored up on the hills and the water that was gathered from the rain kept up high.

你知道，这些水只在需要时使用，用于稳定提升游客所需的水压。

You know, that was to be used only in situations when they needed it and to stable increase water pressure for the guests.

但经过一段时间的降雨后，所有这些地方都充满了水，甚至山里还有几个你看不到的水库。

But after it had been rainy for a while, all of those were filled, and there was even a couple reservoirs under inside the hills that you couldn't see.

所以，你知道，那水是棕褐色的，像一条小溪，但你开始往运河里注水，并让水压帮助你对抗那些门。

So you it it was, you know, brownish water like a bit of a creek, but you started to fill the canal and you let the water pressure help you against the doors.

我说，她是怎么学会这个的？

And I said, how did she learn that?

她是怎么知道水的力量、水的重量的？

How did she know that the strength of the water, the weight of the water?

当然，这方法奏效了，你做了些类似撬动和敲击的工作，再加上水的重量，因为门是防水的，但承受不了水压。

And, of course, it worked with you with you doing some, what do you call, like wedging and hammering and and that between the weight of the water because the doors were watertight, but they weren't water weight tight.

它们只是用来挡雨的。

They were to keep rain out.

最终，门被冲开了，你把运河注满了水，也就没再去管出口的门。

So eventually, the doors broke and then you filled the canal and you didn't bother with the exit doors.

你只是用一根绳子系住它们，这样你就能乘船拉自己过去了，因为推进装置——你知道的，你当时说，没必要费那个劲？

You just tied a rope to them so you could pull yourself through on a boat because the propulsion you know, it was a little you didn't you said, bother with that?

这些船中有一艘是空的。

One of these boats were empty.

它很容易移动，而且里面只有四艘船。

It's pretty easy to move, and then there was only four boats in there.

所以要到达尽头，你必须从一艘船跳到另一艘船。

So to get to the end, you had to jump boat to boat.

但你 inside 看到的东西，有点灰尘。

But what you saw inside, it it was a bit dusty.

它并不是你所知道的那样，他们说因为我的景点比许多新景点要古老得多。

It wasn't you know, they said they because my attraction was already much older than a lot of the newer ones.

里面仍然很昏暗，太阳能仅用于照明，而不是照亮景点的灯。

It was still gloomy inside, and the solar power was only to light the not to light the attraction lights.

这是两个独立的电力系统。

It was two separate electrical systems.

它用于照明工作灯，而这些灯对我的景点各个部分的照明效果并不理想。

It was to light the work lights, which weren't exactly flattering for for all the parts of my attraction.

我的音响系统已经无法工作了，情感效果也无法运行。我说，你们是如何保存历史的？

My sound system was no longer operational, and emotions weren't operate I said, how are you preserving history?

现在我只是一系列场景的集合。

Now I'm just a collection of scenes.

但你看到的是那些只有几英尺高、圆脑袋的卡通儿童形象，他们是来自世界各地的孩子，置身于玩具的世界中，而这个游乐设施最初是以一种历史性的、想象中的玩具历史为开端，追溯到远古时代。

But you looked through the cartoon versions of the children only a few feet high and round heads, children of the world, in the world of toys, and how the ride started out with a historical, you know, imaginary historical history of toys from ancient times.

我不认为它是基于某种依据，我觉得还有其他的批评意见。

I don't think it was based on I think there was another criticism.

他们说尼安德特人的孩子不会玩木棍和石头。

They said Neanderthal children didn't play with sticks and rocks.

他们说，让我看看你的证据。

And they said, let me see your proof.

我的意思是，如果我能为自己辩护，这正是我会说的话。

I mean, that's what I would have said if I could defend myself.

他们说，也许我对创始人有些怨恨。

And they said, well, maybe I have some resentment towards the founder.

但我是一个虚构的游乐设施，还是一个想象的游乐设施？

But am I a ride of fiction or a ride of imagination?

你告诉我，尼安德特人的孩子没有想象力。

You're telling me that Neanderthal children didn't have an imagination.

是的。

Yeah.

但我猜这都不重要了，因为一开始你就沉浸其中了。

But I guess none of it mattered because you were immersed at first.

然后出现了伍德维尔。

And then there was Woodville.

下一站，伍德维尔，一个堆满木制玩具的大房间，仿佛木制玩具只有一种时代。

Next stop, Woodville, a big room full of wooden toys as if there was only one era of wooden toys.

但这里有一个高峰。

But there was a peak here.

我想你会把伍德维尔的木制玩具称为巅峰时期。

I guess you'd call it peak wooden toys in Woodville.

你知道的，木鸭子、绳子、木船和粘在一起的积木，你试图把它们拆开，但胶水比木头还结实，而且那种木材里还混合了塑料成分。

You know, wooden ducks and string and wooden boats and blocks glued together, which you you tried to break them apart, but the glue was stronger than the wood and also as a plastic composite in that wood.

它看起来像木头。

It looked like wood.

还有很多其他的木制玩具和建筑组件，以及可以玩耍的东西，甚至还有木制保龄球套装，不过也是粘合的。

And plenty of other wooden toys and building things and and things to play with even wooden bowling set, again, glued though.

由于所有的动作都不起作用，这一切都有点乏味。

And since none of the motion worked, it was all kinda dull.

你知道吗，我觉得那只鸭子是唯一能动的东西，因为它会摇摇摆摆地迈着小脚。

You know, I think the duck was the only thing you got working because it would waddle its little feet.

而且，哦，其中一架木制飞机上有个螺旋桨可以旋转。

And, oh, there was a propeller you could spin in one of the wooden planes.

接下来是锡镇，没错，到处都是锡制玩具。

And the next was Tintown, yeah, full of tin toys.

他们还说它只有一种氛围。

And they said it was it had only one air.

那是在这之前吧，但你知道，你走进去后，发现是个小房间。

Was that before but I you know, that's but you went in and it was a smaller room.

我想，木制玩具的历史比锡玩具城更悠久。

I guess the wood toys had a grander history than Tintown.

在玩具镇里面，就是锡玩具城。

In within Toy Town was Tintown.

但你知道，那些锡制玩具，我觉得你大部分时候都避开了，因为正如他说的，这里可能会刮花。

But you you you know, the the tin toys, I think you avoided them for the most part because they did seem like he said, well, you could get a scratch on here.

尽管这些房间是密封的，但他们确实使用了一些真正的锡材。

And even though the rooms were sealed, the they did use some real tin.

尽管表面有非常光亮的油漆，但有些油漆已经剥落，锡制玩具上出现了锈迹。

And even though it had very glossy paint, some of the paint had deteriorated, and there was some rust on those tin toys.

但那些锡制玩具看起来依然很有趣。

But they still looked fun, those tin toys.

然后我们去了娃娃岛，那实际上是一个巨大房间里的多个相互连接的岛屿集合。

Then it was off to Doll Island, which was actually a collection in a giant room of interconnected islands.

我不明白为什么我要批评自己说‘娃娃群岛’，但我可能读过太多关于我的文章了。

I don't know why I'm criticizing myself to say Doll Archipelago, but I think I've read so many articles about me.

但娃娃岛是一个地方，娃娃们住在玩具镇，在一个玩具世界里等待你的到来。

But Doll Island was a place where doll you know, dolls lived in Toy Town in a world of toys waiting for you to come.

通常会有孩子跳舞，娃娃们也在跳舞。

And there was usually children dancing and dolls dancing.

是的。

Yeah.

但由于没有动作，它看起来只是像：这些孩子为什么只是抱着娃娃？

But because there was no motion, again, it just looked like, what are these children doing just holding a doll?

你知道，你确实有一些你仍然随身携带的娃娃，比如天鹅塞雷娜。

You know, you did have some you know, Serena the Swan was so who someone you still carried with you.

我们稍后再聊你的其他玩具。

And we'll talk about your other play.

所以这确实引起了你的好奇心。

So this did catch your curiosity.

但这是第一个你开始注意到孩子们和玩具眼睛的房间，你带着疑问凝视着它们。

But this was the first room where you started to notice the eyes of the children and the eyes of the toys, and you looked at them questioning.

然后你来到了扮演区。

And then you headed to pretend place.

这个区域本应以装扮和厨房为主题，你知道的，很酷，让你假装自己已经是成年人了。

It was supposed to be based on dress up and kitchens and, you know, cool in it, you know, with different pretending you were already working adults.

所以，你不确定这是否容易传达清楚。

So that was you don't know if that was as easy to communicate.

它看起来就像一座小城市里的许多小场景吗？

Is it just looks like a bunch of small scenes in a small city?

但当灯光打对的时候，它在闪亮中显得格外视觉冲击。

But it was very when when the lights were the right way, it was visually striking in the glitter.

你又想，哪个城市会到处都是闪亮的东西？

Again, you say, what cities have glitter everywhere?

嗯，游乐场会，扮演区就会。

Well, a play place does, a pretend place.

然后你穿过一个巨大的地铁隧道，那里是通往行动城的通道，行动城里有更多以动作为主题的玩具，或者说更多男孩可能喜欢玩的玩偶，但任何人都可以玩。

And that segued right through a subway tunnel, you know, that was giant for the boats to go through into action city, which had more action based toys, or you could say more dolls that boys may have been played with, but anyone could play with them.

这一切都源于漫画书、电影和电视节目中的动作元素，以及英雄主义的商业化，尤其是后来，玩具公司为了展示他们的产品，比如军队和乐队之类的玩具，也加入了这些元素。

And that was all about the action of comic books and those kind of things in movies and TV shows and heroism as bought and sold, especially and then, of course, you know, play corporate did it to try to they said, well, we have to show our you know, that like, the toys we make, like, army band and things.

这就是动作元素的体现。

That's where some action is.

这些玩具非常受欢迎。

And those were popular toys to play with.

因此，孩子们都在玩这些玩具。

So there was children playing with all those toys.

你说你只是觉得这些玩偶更多了，你知道，里面其实有真正的玩具，而且是更大的玩具，塑料材质也很耐用。

And you said you just looked at it like more dolls with more you know, the thing was that there was real toys in there and and bigger toys, and the plastic held up well.

所以你能看出，这些玩具更灵活了。

So then you could see, well, these are more movable.

它们有可活动的肘部和膝盖，有些甚至还有脚踝、前臂和手部关节。

These have articulating elbows and knees and in some cases, ankles and forearms and hands.

所以你觉得这很有趣。

So you found that interesting.

然后你走进了毛茸茸的森林，那里到处都是毛绒绒的朋友，你看到了天鹅塞雷娜，成年版的她，而不是你随身携带的襁褓版。

Then you headed into the forest to furry fuzzy friend forest where everywhere and you saw Serena the Swan there, an adult version of her, not the swaddling version you carried along at your side.

那个也不太行。

And that one didn't fair fair as well either.

这些本应是毛绒玩具，但它们内部填充了金属材料，你知道的。

Now these were supposed to be plush figures, but they were stuffed, in if they had x, you know, internal makeup of metal.

所以它们没有你熟悉的塞雷娜天鹅那么柔软。

So they weren't as soft as the Serene of the Swan you were used to.

它们有点硬。

They were kinda hardened.

它们看起来柔软、毛茸茸的，因为设计上就是要唤起那种感觉，孩子们也玩这些玩具。

They looked like they were soft and furry and fuzzy because they were supposed to be evocative of those things, and his children played with them.

但因为所有东西都是静止的，你又会说，为什么你站在一只这么可爱的考拉旁边？

But because everything was static, it was again, you say, why are you standing next to a koala that is so cute?

而且，由于这些玩具比真人还大，你再次看向它们的眼睛，在孩子们的眼神中，你看到了一种对玩玩具的狂热。

And, again, because these were larger than life toys, again, you looked at their eyes, and in the eyes of the children, you saw a bit of a fervor about playing with toys.

他们欣喜若狂。

They were overjoyed.

当玩具静止不动时，你更能专注于它们的眼睛，那种玩具的喜悦便更明显。

The joy of the toys when there when there's no movement, you could focus on the eyes more.

我不知道这是否属实，但我知道。

And I don't know if it was well, I do know.

他们刻意放大了瞳孔，以表现那种……你知道的。

They over dilated the pupils to show that the you know?

我说过，我读过一篇关于这个的论文，说明这是故意为之，用以表现玩具的毛茸茸质感。

And I say this is again there was a paper written on this that I read how this was done intentionally to show how to show fur for for toys.

而且，这份报告可能旨在唤起儿童的共鸣。

And possibly, this treaty said to create a sympathetic vibration of children.

我不知道这是否真实，但确实如此。

And I don't know if that was true, but, you know, it did.

我说，这会影响父母吗？

And I said, well, is this going to affect to the parents?

客人过去常拿这个开玩笑。

And guests used to joke about it.

他们在这个房间里有一种感觉。

They had this sense in this room.

如果你像这个人一样，以很高的注意力观察 ride 的每个部分，你会发现瞳孔越来越放大，眉毛和额头的角度，以及嘴巴的形状，都越来越像是孩子们在以某种方式赞美这些玩具。

And if you looked, as this person did, with a high they said, at each part of the ride, the pupils become more and more dilated, and the eyebrows and the angle of the eyebrows in the forehead and the shape of the mouth becomes more and more like the children are praising the toys in some way.

所以这是第一次感受到这种氛围，但你并不舒服。

So this was the first taste of that, and it didn't sit right with you.

这个 ride 从未让我感到安心。

The ride never I never you never felt comfortable inside of me.

我认为，如果你至少被恰当地介绍过，但外面这些奇怪的锈迹斑斑的东西，让你对正在发生的事产生了怀疑。

And I think again, I think if you had at least been introduced properly, but the fact that it was these strange rusty things on the outside made you suspicious of what was happening.

就像某种事情发生了，让你所处的世界，或者你逐渐在公园外意识到的世界，开始发生变化。

Like, it's something happened, like the world that, like, you existed in or that you were slowly becoming aware of outside of the park.

我觉得你做了太多的类比。

I think you drew too many parallels.

然后还有电影镇、舞蹈乐园和音乐小镇，它们都在同一个房间里，只是让孩子们被动地消费这些内容并从中获得快乐。

Then there was Movie Town and Danceland and Musical Musicville, which were all in the same room and just kinda showed children passively consuming those things and getting joy from it.

电影、音乐和舞蹈，我想你不会被动地享受舞蹈，但那里有那些毛茸茸的跳舞朋友。

The movies and music and dance, I guess you don't passively enjoy dance, but there was a, you know, those dancing fuzzy friends.

然后是 ride 的最后部分，你将在电影世界之后被选中。

And then there was the final parts of the ride where you were going to be cast after movie land.

他们说：你难道从未希望自己成为电影的主角、英雄或女英雄吗？

They said, haven't you ever wished you would be the the star of a movie, the hero, or the heroine?

接着是游戏的世界。

And then it was the world of games.

现在，借助科技，你真的可以了。

Now you truly can with technology.

甚至在视频游戏出现之前，创始人就知道它们即将到来，而你已经被数字化了。

And the founder even back at like, before there was video games, The founder knew they were coming and you were digitized.

这些灯光效果都没起作用，但你经过了一个通道，被数字化了，并被告知你现在已经成为了玩具的一部分。

None of these lighting effects were working, but you went through a channel that digitized you and told you you are now part of the toys.

你进入了玩具的世界，成为游戏中的主角。

You were in the world of toys, the central character in the game.

接着是一段关于电子游戏的简史，展示了孩子们在巨大无比的眼球中玩着早期的游戏和系统，从最初一直延续到互动性较强的过去、近期甚至稍近的过去，孩子们就在这些游戏内部玩耍。

And then there was a brief history of video games in giant giant pupils of children playing the initial games and the systems in all the way into the interactive past, recent past or somewhat recent past, and kids playing them, but inside of them.

但对你来说，这种对比很奇怪，因为你根本不知道在游戏中驾驶宇宙飞船或扮演拥有超能力的女主角是什么感觉。

But just strange juxtaposition for you because you didn't know, you know, that what is piloting a spaceship in a game was like or flying as a heroine with superpowers was was like.

所以，再次说明，你只是觉得这些房间有些不对劲，而这正是游乐设施的高潮部分。

So, again, you just found something off about those rooms, and that was the height of the the ride.

那是当时的一部分，也是现在的一部分，是这个游乐设施的一部分。

It was part of the then now that was the ride that part of the ride.

我觉得它后来被修改了，你知道的，被添加了新内容。

I think it it was changed, you know, and added on.

我现在已经不记得了。

I don't remember now.

也许以前是和家人在土地上玩，或者在外面玩。

Maybe it was playing with it used to be playing with your family land or play outside land.

我再也想不起来了。

I can't remember anymore.

但它激发了成为玩具一员的热情与喜悦。

But it built the fervor and the joy of being a part of the toys.

你有点说，这些游乐设施都激发了你的想象力。

And you kinda said, well, all these rides use your imagination.

有一件事是颜色保持得很好，因为这是新添加的部分。

And one thing is the colors really held up because this was a newer part.

它们非常鲜艳。

They were very bright.

如果黑光灯能正常工作，你会看到景象更加狂野。

And if the black lights had worked, you would have seen it was even wilder.

但again，这看起来就像孩子们被某种催眠术控制了一样，我想。

But, again, it just seemed like that something children were under some hypnotic spell, I guess.

我干脆说吧，这是在宣传影响下的说法。

I might as well say it under the influence of propaganda.

我想那就是玩具镇。

I think that was Toy Town.

那些孩子，那是关于我在玩具镇的吸引力的报告之一。

Children that was one of the reports on my attraction at Toytown.

受宣传影响的孩子们。

Children under the influence of propaganda.

小心你所渴望的东西。

Be careful what you wish for.

我知道，每个人对我的看法都是基于事实的，基于科学的。

I can't you know, everyone had a fact based opinion about science based opinion about me.

但当我更仔细地观察你时，你似乎不仅关注孩子们对玩具着迷，还关注他们不够高效，似乎什么都没做。

But you you seemed as I watched you more to be fixated on how not just that the children were enthralled with the toys, but that they weren't productive, that they didn't seem to do.

他们完全沉浸在玩具镇里，而不是把一天分成工作、玩耍和学习几个部分。

They were totally immersed in Toy Town instead of having their day broken up into work and play and studying.

那里没有任何结构，他们对乘坐的开始和结束都毫无察觉，仿佛中了某种咒语，从你的角度来看，这或许说得通，因为你认为当前的状况是游乐设施设计的一部分。

There was no structure and that they were oblivious to the beginning and the end of the ride, that they seemed to be under some spell, which I guess makes sense when I look at it from your perspective, seeing the current condition, which for some reason you believed was part of the design of the ride.

这可能更像一场梦，孩子们只是开心地参与其中。

It could have been more like a dream, and that the children were just gleefully playing along.

我注意到你试图在游乐设施里睡觉，但却无法入睡。

And I noticed you tried to sleep in the ride and you couldn't get any sleep.

最终，你开始遮住所有瞳孔放大孩子的头。

Eventually, you started covering the heads of all the children, the more dilated pupil ones.

然后你变得更加烦躁，开始把能拿到的玩具从孩子们手中抢走，而那些玩具本是他们的一部分。

And then you got even more irritable, and you started taking out the toys that you could, ripping them from the children's hands, which when they were part of them.

但当你决定做某事时，你就一定会去做。

But when you set to do something, you do it.

于是你慢慢把所有东西都扔进了运河，我觉得这很有趣，因为我是个历史爱好者，心想：希望历史保护者们别发现这件事。

So you slowly remove you just threw everything in the canal, which I thought was very interesting since I'm a historic I said, well, I hope the historical preservationists don't find out about this.

他们以为这些东西早就不存在了，但他把所有玩具都扯了下来。

They don't think that exists anymore, but he ripped all the toys out.

他把所有锡制玩具、木制玩具和数字玩具都扔了。

He threw them all with tin toys, wooden toys, digital toys.

他把所有东西都扔进了运河里。

He threw it all in the canal.

就连那些你不得不锯掉的，你也处理掉了。

Even the ones you had to saw off, you got rid of.

然后你去了玩具店，把很多店里的玩具扔进了运河和公园各处。

And then you got into the toy shop and you got you threw a lot of those toys from the toy shop into the canal and just around the park.

但后来你又回来了。

But then you came back.

你并不打算放弃，尽管你已经遮住了大多数孩子甚至几乎所有孩子的眼睛，你还是回到了玩偶岛和行动城，在孩子们旁边玩了起来。

You weren't about to give up and even though you covered the eyes of most of the children or almost all of them, you came back to Doll Island and Action City, and you started to play next to the children.

你玩是因为你已经为自己创造了属于自己的家庭，有各种玩偶、角色和照顾塞雷娜·斯万的人，围绕着塞雷娜·斯万形成了一个全球村落。

You play because you are had already created your own families with different dolls and characters and people caring for Serena Swan, a global village around Serena Swan.

你有自己的游戏，演绎着各种情节，我不知道这个游乐设施是否让你想起了那曾经是游戏，也许你对那些孩子拥有你所没有的东西——围绕他们的全球村落——感到不满。

You had your play where you acted out things, and I don't know if the ride reminded you that that was play, and maybe there was something there in your displeasure with those children having those things you did not have, a global village around them.

可怜的塞雷娜·斯万，你知道，在某些地方，她只能独自游泳，而你会跟她说话，为她唱歌。

Well, poor Serena Swan, you know, in some of your places, she would just swim by herself, and you would talk to her and sing to her.

但后来你也向孩子们展示了，因为我不明白那里没有建筑或艺术。

But then you also showed the children because I didn't understand there was no building or art.

我的意思是，当我思考自己的存在时，我想，为什么没有孩子在画画？

I mean I mean, I guess when I contemplated my own existence, I said, why aren't there children drawing?

在角落里有木块的地方，为什么没有孩子用金属、木头或塑料搭建东西？

Where there was wooden blocks in a corner, why aren't there children building with tin or building with wood or building with plastics?

但你把这些玩具带了进来。

But you brought those toys in.

你坐在孩子们旁边画画，唱一些你在公园其他地方听过的歌。

You drew next to the children, and you would some of the songs you had heard in other parts of the park.

你就在一旁玩耍。

You would play alongside.

你搭建东西，并给其他孩子看。

You would build things and show the other children.

有时候你会移开视线，但你看到了他们的眼睛。

Would sometimes you would remove you would see but then you saw their eyes.

你会说，不行。

You'd say, no.

这太奇怪了。

That's too strange.

脑袋圆得完美，眼睛也太大了。

Perfectly round head and eyes too wide.

你会为孩子们唱歌。

You would sing to the children.

你甚至开始给他们读书。

You even started reading to them.

然后你灵光一现。

And then an idea struck you.

你知道，你曾经遇到过所有的猫，也就是人们过去所说的流浪猫。

You know, you had encountered all the cats, the feral cats as they were once called.

许多代以前，它们生活在公园的一个区域，你曾和这些猫玩耍。

Now many generations past, they lived in one section of the park, and you had played with the cats.

它们 aware 了你的存在，你似乎建立了一种尊重，你还会和一些对你更好奇的猫玩捉迷藏。

They were aware of your existence, and you seem to have established a level of respect, and you would play hide and seek with some of the cats that were more curious about you.

慢慢地，你开始用食物引诱猫群逐渐移动到我的——这里我要提出异议。

And slowly, you started to use food to get the cats to slowly move into my now this is where I would take exception.

但即使是公园里的猫，它们也对自己的领地有一定尊重，不像狗那样。

Except the cats, even the cats in the park, they do have some respect for their territory, not like dogs.

于是你用食物引诱猫进来，并且真的把它们引向运河，因为你知道猫不喜欢水。

So you lured the cats in, and you actually drained to the canal because you knew the cats didn't like water.

你把门关得差不多了，只留下足够你和猫通过的缝隙。

And you closed the doors most of the way so only you and the cats could get through.

慢慢地，大部分猫都搬了进来，它们还挺喜欢这里，因为建筑不透风，而且温控很好。

And just slowly, the cats moved in, a large portion of them, and they they kinda liked it because the structure was not drafty, and it was very climate controlled.

在那个年代，环境已经算非常宜居了，但你从未真正适应，因为你对孩子们的怪异以及乘坐体验的开端与结尾之间的反差感到不适。

As climate is controlled as could be in this time, you never even though the environment was so hospitable, you didn't you never took you never took to it because of the strangeness of the children and and the juxtaposition of the beginning and the end of the ride.

但猫们搬了进来，你会去那里和猫玩耍。

But the cats moved in, you would go there and play with the cats.

但最终真正引起你注意的是那座高达十四层的巨型钟楼。

But what really got your attention in the end was the giant clock tower, 14 stories that rose above the ride.

起初，这似乎并没有引起你的兴趣，但有一天你爬到了顶端，那里有空间。

And at first, it didn't really seem to interest you, but then you climbed it one day all the way to the top where there was room.

游客从不被允许上去，但那里有足够的空间用于维修钟表，你可以向四个方向远眺，一直看到地平线，绵延数英里。

No guests were ever allowed there, but there was room up there for working on the clocks, and you could see out in all four directions all the way to the horizon, miles and miles away.

我意识到，这可能是你第一次看到公园之外的世界。

And I realized this was probably the first time you'd seen outside of the park.

你会在那里一待就是几个小时，你曾见过日落，但从未见过太阳在遥远的地平线上落下。

And you would go up there for hours at a time, and you you had seen the sunset in some sense, but you had never seen it set on a distant horizon.

于是你观看日落，也观看日出，环顾四周，凝视着远方，寻找着什么。

So you'd watch the sunset, you would watch the sunrise, which you would look around staring out at their eyes and looking looking for something.

我想你是在等待那个全球村落向你走来，或者另一个村庄什么的。

I think you were looking for that global village to be coming to you or another village or something.

但当你多次在雨中检查后，你意识到除非天气适中——既不太热也不太冷，否则那里并不舒服。

But at the times you checked, and then you realized after it's rained on you a few times, it wasn't exactly comfortable up there unless the weather was, you know, middle when it was too warm or too chill.

于是，凭借你的智慧，你发现那里早已装有摄像头，但它们都坏了。

So then in your brilliance, you realize there was already cameras up there, but they weren't working.

你找到了一种方法，收集了公园里的电线，将它们连接到太阳能电源上，最终让那些摄像头运转起来，尽管耗时很长。

And you found a way, and you strung together wire that you gathered from the park and ran it down to the to to the solar power, and you got those cam that took a long time.

我说：‘我甚至不知道她到底在做什么，但你似乎很清楚。’

I said, I don't even know if she knows what she's doing, but you seem to know.

我不知道这些摄像头是否具有象征意义，或者你真的因为它们而变得不同了，因为你还是会时不时地出去，凝视着地平线，等待着什么，抱着塞雷娜·斯万，俯视着玩具镇和玩具的世界。

I don't know if they were symbolic or if you really guys became because you would still go out there every once in a while and just stare out at the horizon waiting waiting for something, holding Serena Swan and looking down at the world at Toy Town, at the world of toys.

你带着轻蔑的眼神俯视着我，但我能理解。

You you look down on me with disdain, but I guess I can understand it.

但不像那些游客。

But not like the guests.

我想游客们的轻蔑是不同的，他们会说：‘这很正常。’

I guess there was a different disdain from the guests that said, well, this is right.

只是，你知道，客人们坐下来享受这一切，让瞳孔放大，让歌声感染他们，让脚随着旋律轻轻打拍——我已经记不清那首歌了，但他们看到了鲜艳的色彩和永不停歇的运动，放下了怀疑，心想：好吧，这里不过是个玩具世界。

It's just a but, you know, the guests had sat back and enjoyed it and let their pupils dilate and let the song infect them, let their foot tap along with the tune I no longer even remember, that saw the bright colors and the constant motion, that suspended their disbelief and said, well, this is just a world of toys here.

这并不是为了让我买玩具或激发想象力而做的宣传，除了现在船只是缓缓移动，歌曲响起，悬在空中的飞机朝一个方向飞，鸭子被绳子牵着摇摇晃晃地朝另一个方向走，风车在转动。

It's not a propaganda to get me to buy toys or to even use my imagination other than now in the steady motion of the boats, in the song and the planes on strings, flying one way and the ducks on strings waddling another way, The windmills is spinning.

孩子们跳舞时的欢快节奏。

The kick of the children dancing.

时钟飞速转动。

The clock races turning.

塔楼的钟声响起。

The the the the the tower bells ringing.

所有这一切都让客人们在小船缓缓前行时真正享受其中，他们面带微笑，深深沉浸在这项令人着迷的景点里，激发了无数人的愉悦，也让成年人回想起自己童年时光。

It all made for something the guests could really enjoy as they slowly moved along in their boat at a languid pace, smiling and enthralled enthralled in an immersive attraction that was titillating them and so many and then for the adults, harkening back to when they were a child.

也许，只是也许，因为你的内心无法亲身体验这一切，所以或许真有一个玩具世界，一个你可以造访的玩具小镇。

And maybe just maybe, I guess, because there wasn't a part of you that could experience this, that maybe there was a world of toys out there, a toy town with places you could visit.

也许，它并不是虚构的。

Maybe it wasn't imaginary.

这是一种可能性，也正是这种可能性赋予了这项游乐设施某种情感。

There was a possibility, and that drove some of the feeling in the ride too.

而它美好的地方在于，你从未真正离开过我。

And the nice thing about it is you never really moved on from me.

你会回来，看看猫，然后爬上钟楼，观看日落或日出，寻找一些东西，我不知道。

You'd come back and you'd check on the cats and and you'd go up in the clock tower and check the sunset or the sunrise and look for, I don't know.

地平线上的烟雾，地平线上的动静，地平线上的人影。

Smoke on the horizon, motion on the horizon, people on the horizon.

我想，你的地平线上并没有玩具。

And I guess there was no toys on your horizon.

有时候，自从猫搬进来后，你其实并不在这里睡觉，但有些夜晚，我满耳都是猫咪温柔的呼噜声，我就这样伴着它们入眠。

And sometimes you'd you never once the cats moved in, you didn't really sleep here, but I I would be full of purring some nights of sweet purring cats, and I would sleep to that.

晚安。

Good night.

我想在这段音频消息中简单讲几件事。

I wanted to cover a couple of really quick in this audio message.

一是我们正在为Sleeping Me Plus会员准备一份欢迎包。

二是现在到了年底，我们今年的促销活动将持续到今天，也就是30号。

And two is it's the end of the year here, and we're still running the sale up until today's the thirtieth.

所以我可能会发布这条消息。

So I'll probably post this.

所以如果你正在听这段话，这可能是你最后一天了。

So so if you're hearing this, this is probably your last day.

如果你从野猪伙伴升级到野猪好友或野猪挚友，或者从野猪好友升级到野猪挚友，可享受十二个月免费或十二个月享八折优惠。

You can do that using the link or you could just log in to your account, go to the upper right side to the circle icon, and go to manage your account and get 20% off.

让我看看我们现在的情况，因为我们之前设定了一个目标，而我们离目标已经不远了。

And let me look here at where we're at because we're a couple we had a goal here and we weren't far off.

我们还差12个野猪挚友的升级，也就是有12个人成为野猪挚友，或新用户付费开通专属导播频道，之后我们会再决定具体安排。

We're 12 boar besties away from being 12 upgrades of people becoming boar besties or new people becoming boar besties from paying for a new concierge feed, and then we'll figure that out.

因为如果你是野猪挚友，

Because if you're Bore Bestie,

你已经拥有一个只包含《星际迷航：下一代》和《星际迷航》剧集的播客，还有一个只包含《烘焙大赛》剧集的播客，我们会对此进行投票决定。

you already set you already have a podcast full full of only TNG and Trek episodes and a podcast only full of Bake Off episodes, and we'll be we'll we'll vote on that.

而野猪好友方面，我们距离让所有野猪好友获得专属《烘焙大赛》频道，还差30个野猪好友。

And then Boar Friends, you're we're only 30 Boar Friends away from Boar Friends getting that all bake off feed.

理想情况下，这两项功能会同时上线。

So, ideally, those two things will launch at the same time.

所以如果你是个Boar Butt，正在考虑尝试Boar Friends，你会想，好吧。

So if you're a boar butt and you're thinking about checking out Boar Friends, you say, okay.

我不但能获得

Not only do I get

当我成为Boar Friend时，不仅能获得所有开场白和整夜剧集，还能得到一个整理好的所有《烘焙大赛》内容的频道。

the all intros and the all night episodes when I become a boar friend, but I'll get a feed with all the bake off stuff organized too.

有30个人这么做。

30 people do that.

你就会知道，我们会处于非常好的状态。

You'll be in you know, we'll be in great shape.

那我说什么？

And what do I say?

12个人，没错。

12 people yeah.

12个人成为Boar Besties。

12 people become bore besties.

但无论如何，我会在这里，我正努力让2026年成为充满更多愉悦与快乐的一年，尤其是在让我好好睡觉这件事上。

But either way, I'll be here, and I'm I'm trying to really work on 2026 being a year with more delight and joy in sleeping me.

而且，你知道，有一段时间，我有点退后了，不再直接……嗯，我不知道。

And, you know, for for a little while, I kinda pulled back from directly, like, I don't know.

你知道，这档节目已经做了好几年了，我们之前从未进行过这么多场直播。

You know, it's been a couple of years with the show, and I we haven't done this many live streams.

这部分是因为支持者们的行为，但另一方面，我想我也需要专注于维持节目持续运行，制作节目。

Part of that's just based on, you know, people's behavior supporters' behavior, but part of it is also, I guess, I need to just focus on keeping the show going, making the show.

今年，我就顺其自然了，尽我所能让大家继续支持节目，但过去两年我确实把大量精力放在了确保播客的可持续性上，而不是播客的快乐与愉悦。

And this year, I'm just gonna let things happen as far as, you know, do my best to keep people trying to support the show, but I do wanna, you know, spend a lot of time the past two years focused on on that and and, you know, making sure, you know, the sustainability of the podcast versus the joy and the delight of the podcast.

所以2026年将是‘睡意满满、愉悦快乐’的一年，同时我们也会再次大量输出内容——就像过去两年一样，我们发布了有史以来最多的新集数，种类也最丰富。

So 2026 is gonna be the year of sleepy joy and delight as well as putting out again, like we kinda put out the past two years, we put out the most episodes we have in a long, long time, the most new episodes, the most variety of new episodes.

所以，是的。

So yeah.

另外，也告诉我你对去年圣诞节的看法吧，因为我们录了很多集，它正逐渐变成一个独立的主题。

And then also let me know what you think about last Christmas because we have a lot of episodes recorded, and it's becoming its kinda own thing.

或者如果你还没听过，因为那是我录制的第二集，我完全没概念。

Or if you haven't listened to it yet, because that was the second episode I recorded, and I have no idea.

这有点难说，因为我正在录制，但我们大概已经录了三四集，可以明年或后年发布。

It's kinda hard because I'm recording it, but we probably have, one, two, three, four, three or four more episodes recorded so we can put them out next year or the year after.

但非常感谢你。

But thanks so much.

如果没有像你这样的人支持，这个节目根本不可能存在。

This show really wouldn't exist without people like you supporting it back.

我无法形容我有多感激，其他人也一样感激。

I can't tell you how grateful I am and how grateful other people are.

我一直在节目中说，随着我们越来越多地了解听众的行为，总得有人支持这个节目，才能让所有受益的人继续受益，而你选择了支持这个播客。

You know, I've been saying it on the show, and as we learn more and more, like, about how people listen to the show, Somebody does have to support the show for all the people that benefit from it, and you're the you're you're you chose to support the podcast back.

也许你是为附加内容而支持的。

It might have been for the bonus content.

也许你是为自己而支持的。

It might have been for you.

也可能是为了其他人。

It might have been for other people.

也可能是所有这些原因的结合。

It might have been all of those things.

也可能是因为你了解这个节目背后付出的大量努力。

It might have been because you know all the work that goes into the show.

也可能是这个播客让你的生活发生了许多美好的改变，或者你只是喜欢它，喜欢你做事的方式。

It might have been because the podcast enables you to do so many great things in your life or you just like it or just how you how you do things.

但结果是，除了你之外，还有很多人因此受益。

But the result is that so many other people benefit other than you.

再说一遍，这个播客已经跨越了几个关键的门槛或决策点，让我意识到，我不希望这个节目仅仅为那些愿意支持它的一小部分人服务。

Again, the podcast has crossed a couple thresholds or decision where it's like, I don't wanna make this show just for the benefit of a small number of people that are willing to support it back.

尽管有时候他们会有强烈的情绪，我会说，天啊，但你支持这个节目，确实让很多其他人从中受益，无论出于什么原因。

Though sometimes they get, you know, strong feelings, and I say, man, if it like but it's like by you supporting the show, a lot of other people benefit for whatever reason.

他们要么无力支持，要么选择不支持，要么根本没留意，或者觉得：‘有一天再说吧’，或者觉得这根本无所谓。

They either can't support the show, they choose not to, or they're just not paying attention, or they're like, yeah, one day or it doesn't really matter.

我认为冷漠和节目的有效性确实是两个最大的挑战，但你成功克服了这些障碍。

I think apathy and the effectiveness of the show are really the two biggest challenges, but you got past those hurdles.

所以谢谢你。

So thank you.

代表我本人、制作节目的团队，我们都热爱制作这个播客，同时也代表所有从节目中受益的其他听众。

On behalf of me, the team of people that work on the show, we all love making this podcast, but also, I don't know, everybody else out there that benefits from the show.

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

没有你们，这个节目就不会存在，所以谢谢你们。

The show would not exist without you, so thanks.
