字幕制作：alele
关于宠物公墓事业的缘起 Inspiration of the pet cemetery business...
大概要追溯到很多年前的一个小故事 is a little story that probably leads me back many years.
我出生在北达科他州 I was born in the state of North Dakota...
巴恩斯县瓦利城 county of Barnes, city of Valley City.
我在那呆了好几年 I was there for several years.
1930年我出生时，二战刚刚爆发 Being born in 1930, then the World War II started...
1941年，我去了农场. in 1941, when I went to the farm.
在那里，我养了一只柯利牧羊犬做宠物 On the farm, I had my own pet collie...
干活时它就在我身边 which worked with me and was beside me.
无论我干什么，去哪里，他都伴我左右。 No matter what I did and where I'd go, my pet collie was with me.
一天下午，我们拉东西回来 One afternoon, we came back from hauling bundles...
"嘭"的一声，就像很多故事讲的那样 "thrashing," the old word's going.
一个老家伙突然出现在路上,击中了我的狗,打死了它 And an old Model A came up the road, struck my collie and killed him.
我从没想过去抓他 I never did catch him.
但我抱住了我的狗 But I grabbed my collie...
抱着它，直到他死在我怀里 and held him in my arms until he died.
我在房子后边找了一小块地... And I pulled one little acre of land right behind the house...
大概离我家1/4英里远 I'd say a quarter of a mile away.
可以俯视北部的牧场 It overlooked the prairie to the north...
那真的很漂亮...在后边还临着一个湖 which was really a beautiful"..." It had a lakeside at the back.
我选那作为我的牧羊犬的墓地 I picked that as the cemetery for my own collie.
从我在斯阿尔托斯的住处，过马路 Right across the street from where I lived in Los Altos...
就是一块最美丽的土地... was the most beautiful piece of land...
就我而言，是整个瓦利城最美的. as far as I was concerned, in the whole valley.
乖乖，我知道要拿它做什么； And, boy, I knew what to do with it;
把它建成一座宠物公墓 make that into a pet cemetery.
我想，“好吧，这将是我拿一生来做的项目.” I thought, " Well, this is going to be my project of life. "
我找到了地方，也找到了需求. I found the land, I found the need.
多年前，长辈们曾告诉我 Something the old-timers used to tell me years ago. ;
“要想出人头地，先找到一项需求，然后去满足它.” "To be successful in this world and life, find a need and fill it. "
天知道，我找到了需求，并且迫切地想满足它 And, boy, I found a need and I wanted to fulfill this more than anything.
比我一生中任何事都更重要，我要实现这个梦想. More than anything I did my whole life, I wanted to fulfill this dream.
就在那，我们开始工作 And there is where we started our work.
策划，开发，引起人们的兴趣. Planning, development, and getting the people interested.
我和... Working with"..."
我和康乃馨宠物食品公司合作 I worked with Carnation Pet Food Company...
和喜互惠超市，超级幸运市场合作. Safeway Stores, Lucky Stores.
等等 Several.
还记得跟迪奇尤伟聊天... I remember talking with Dicky Euwe...
关于他经营的超市.... of Dick's Supermarkets...
问他，我能不能加入他的宠物食品部门... and asking him if I could come and work in his pet food section...
就这样递出我的名片，和别人谈起.. and just hand out my cards and talk to the people...
关于宠物公墓的事情. about having a pet cemetery.
我去过宠物美容店，去过兽医院. I went to grooming shops, I went to veterinarians.
大家都非常感兴趣，这很好. And the interest I got was just phenomenal. It was just great.
而我要吸引更多的人... So then I had to get some more interested people...
因为在这个项目上，我们需要融资. in the idea of it, because we needed the financing.
弗洛伊德是个热心人，他乐意帮助任何人 Floyd is a heartwarming individual who likes to do a lot for everybody.
有一天，他走进办公室，我们聊了起来 And he came into the office one day, and him and I got to talking.
他的真名，我想，是弗洛伊德，但我们都叫他麦克。 His real name, I think, is Floyd, but we always called him Mac.
麦克，告诉我一件事，令我非常惊讶 And Mac, very surprisingly, said to me that...
他说他一直想和我们一起来做宠物公墓 something he had always wanted to do was put a pet cemetery together.
我回答，“麦克，这太棒了..” So I said, "Mac, that's amazing...
“因为我们也正这么想...” "because we've just been thinking about the same thing ourselves...
“也许我们可以以一个团体的名义来做.” "and maybe we can put it together under one group."
他说，“好极了.” So he said, "Wonderful."
接下来我意识到这块地的所有权问题... So I was made aware of this property...
这块地位于洛斯阿尔托斯山麓280号高速 that is in Los Altos on Foothill and Highway 280.
我们认为，这是修建宠物公墓的不二选择 We felt that it would make a great place for a pet cemetery...
因为这里视野绝佳 because it had tremendous visual ability...
每天都有上千辆车经过280号高速. and thousands of cars that went past 280.
但这块地皮也可以开发成其他产业 And the property leaned in other directions as well.
它的地段也很适合旅馆或汽车旅店. It was a marvelous location for a restaurant or a motel.
及其他各种产业. Various and sundry things.
这块地皮的拥有者是一个名为邓顿的家族 We found that people by the name of Dunton owned the property...
我们接触到他们，询问他们的想法. and we approached them and asked them what they thought.
我们在麦克卢尔家开了一个会. There was a meeting held at Mr. McClure's house...
我也参加了. which I attended.
我迟到了一会儿，但在那次会上... I was a little late, but during the meeting...
邓顿先生向麦克卢尔先生 Mr. Dunton had expressed his wishes, desires, and needs...
表达了他的想法、要求和需要.并极力强调 to Mr. McClure, and emphasizing very strongly:
“麦克，你什么都不用担心.” "Mac, you have nothing to worry about.
“我是一个教堂里的牧师.” "I'm a minister of this particular church.
“你可以相信我，我是个牧师.” "You can trust me. I'm a minister.
“我们会有一个宠物公墓. 它一定会成功.” "We will have a pet cemetery. It will be a success.
“你和我，我们一起合作.” "You and I, we'll put it together.
“我们会成功. 我们将拥有它. 就你和我.” "We'll do it. We'll have it. Just you and I."
这简直是天意. It was sort of a kismet idea.
于是我们着手开始忙碌宠物公墓. So we went to work on the pet cemetery.
当下最大的危机.. The ugly crisis...
正是我们工作的基础.. which we used as our basis...
我们的工作完全不违背圣克拉拉县的动物保护协会 and this was nothing against the SPCA of Santa Clara County...
或动物管理办公室的规定. or the Animal Control Officer of Santa Clara County.
但宠物公墓需要一个人们能接受的概念. But the idea that we needed the concept...
人们热爱他们的宠物,需要一个地方来安置它们 for the people that loved their pets, and needed a place for them.
既不是垃圾堆，也不是垃圾桶... Not the garbage pit, not the garbage can...
更不是一个把它们碾进地里的地方... and a place to bulldoze them into the ground...
因为对自然母亲赠予的小宠物,我们有更多的爱和渴望. because we have more love and desire for Mother Nature's little pets.
上帝给了我们这些宠物... God only gave us these pets...
成为我们的伙伴，渴求和希望 to be our fellowship, desire, and will.
我们又能回报它们什么呢？ And what have we got to give them in return?
不是扔进垃圾堆，或随手丢弃... Not to be put into a garbage pail or a dump ground...
而是对曾给予我们爱的生命，做最后的告别. but our last goodbye for the things they gave us.
炼油是一项古老的工业. 可以追溯到古埃及时期. Rendering is an old industry. It dates back to the time of the Egyptians.
炼油可以追溯到那么远的过去. They can trace it back this far, rendering.
在《圣经》中，可以追溯到《旧约全书》... In the Bible, way back in the Old Testament...
一个人剥掉羊皮，裹住自己.. the guy cut off the sheepskin and put it over him...
把羊羔脂肪放在身上保暖 and put the lamb fat on him to keep him warm.
这也许是世界上最古老的一种工业了.可能是吧. It could be the oldest industry in the world. It could be. It's possible.
当公众开始关注回收利用时... When the public got concerned about recycling...
炼油工业就冒了出来，比方说. that's when the rendering industry started to blossom out, so to speak.
“嘿，我们500年来都在做回收利用..” And say, "Hey, we've been recycling for 500 years here.
“看我们在做什么，我们在循环利用.” "Take a look at us. We are recycling.
“我们在做人人希望我们做的” "We're doing what everybody wants us to do."
从那以后，我们才开始被提出来讨论. And that's when we started to come forward.
在此之前，没人会谈起炼油工业. Before that, nobody talked about the rendering industry.
这就是为什么说它是一个隐形的工业. 以前根本没人注意过. That's why it was the invisible industry. Nobody ever mentioned it.
在另一个隐秘的层面，那些在外干活的工人们.. On the quiet side, what those guys do out there is...
他们把所有这些放进锅里煮. they boil all this stuff in pots.
散发出恶臭. Stinks.
炼油公司到底是什么？ What is a rendering company?
一想到记忆里那些场景，我头都要炸了... My mind pretty near exploded with the thought and the memories...
那就是一场噩梦. of a very bad nightmare.
地狱之梦. A dream of hell.
这让我回想起北达科他州的一家炼油厂 And it took me back to this rendering company in North Dakota...
当时，生活在那的小宠物们，它们死去时.. where all the little pets at that time, when they died, were"..."
会有一辆卡车开过来... A truck would come out...
一个老司机走过来抓着你的宠物 and a big old driver would come and grab your pet...
往老卡车后边一扔.. and throw him in the back end of this old truck...
带着它去那个我称作“锅炉房”的地方.. and take him to what I called "the boiler chambers."
这确实有争议. 但另一方面讲... It's controversial. In other words...
我们保持低调. we stay low-key.
我们不希望人们知道，我们在往里运动物.. We don't want people to know we're bringing in animals...
并再加工成动物副产品. and reprocessing animal byproducts.
有些人觉得这很恶心. Some people get nauseated by the thought.
他们被恶心到了，你知道吗？ They get nauseated by it, you know that?
曾有人这样问我... I've had people ask me"..."
一次我去参加一个晚宴，坐在餐桌旁. I've been at a dinner party, been sitting down at a dinner table.
有人问，“你是做什么的？” And somebody will say, "What do you do?"
我回答，“恩，我做动物油脂生意的.” And I say, "Hey, I'm in the tallow business."
然后就有人说： And somebody will say:
“现在别谈这个. 等我们都散了再说.” "Don't bring that up right now. Wait until after when we all break up."
换句话说，“我们不想谈论你的职业，迈克.” In other words, "We don't want to talk about what you do, Mike.
“这让我们恶心.”为什么？我不知道.但事实就这样. "It makes us sick." Why, I don't know. But it does.
一直以来人们都这样认为. People say that all the time.
暗地里我们自己管这叫“胶水工厂”.他们什么都不浪费. We called it back home "a glue factory." They don't waste nothing.
他们从尸体上剥去肉，还要骨头... They take the meat and strip it. They take the bones...
把这些煮沸，烹饪，做成某种食物. and boil them, cook them, and make some kind of meal out of them.
他们什么都不浪费，甚至包括动物的脚趾甲什么的. And they don't waste nothing, not even the toenails on the animal or anything.
臭味就是从那散发出来的. And the smell that came from it.
我小时候，有一天从那经过，看见那些动物们躺在那. I walked in there one day as a child, and saw all these animals laying there.
作为一个受过4-H教育的人，和一个热爱动物的人... (4-H:头脑聪明Head, 身心健康Heart, 身体健康Health, 动手能力强Hand) Being a 4-H man and an animal lover...
我感到: I just thought:
“乖乖，身陷地狱也不过如此. 我正坐在地狱的地板上.” "Boy, being in hell, here I am. I'm sitting on the floors of hell now."
迈克配备了小汽车，和四轮马车. Mike furnished the car, the station wagon.
麦克贡献了一些家具，他的时间，和他的销售技巧. And Mac furnished some furniture, his time, and his promotion skills.
乔，也提供了家具，还有劳动力. And Joe, also furniture and some labor.
我们一起挖了最开始的几个墓穴. We both dug the first few graves.
我做了几个小棺材.. And I made some of the caskets...
乔四处游走，跑业务. and Joe would also go around and pick them up.
他到处去把那些宠物接回来，准备下葬. He'd go around and pick up the pets to be prepared.
埋葬这些宠物是个非常辛苦的差事 Burying the pets was a very difficult task.
麦克卢尔先生是一个残疾人. Mr. McClure was physically handicapped.
他不能做任何体力上的活计. He couldn't in no way do any physical labor whatsoever.
我有一个全职工作 My having full-time employment...
干这些基本都得在晚上. was mostly done in the evening.
一天一位绅士敲我的门. A gentleman came to my door.
他是个大块头. 我猜得有将近一米九 And the gentleman was a huge man. I'd say about 6'2".
大个子 Large.
他是大力神类型的. He's more the Hercules type.
他问我，“你是弗洛伊德麦克卢尔先生吗？” 我回答“是的,先生.” He asked me, "Are you Floyd McClure?" And I said, "Yes, sir."
他又问：“你是不是在街对面经营着一座宠物公墓？” He said, "Do you have the pet cemetery across the street?"
我的房子就在公墓那条街对面. My house was right across the street from the cemetery.
我说“是的,先生.” I said, "Yes, sir."
他开始哭泣. And he started crying.
我问他“出什么事了？” 他说“昨天夜里，我的狗死了.” I asked him, "What's wrong?" He said, "Last night my dog died."
他说，“我想今天早上把它葬了.” He says, "I want to bury him this morning."
他的家人都在家，他们正要去教堂. And his family was home, and they were going to go to church.
但他已经把狗完全包裹好了. But he had him completely wrapped.
包得像具木乃伊，非常像. Like a mummy, pretty near.
我把宠物狗从他车里移出来... I would then get the pet out of his car...
放在车道边，开始为它做些清理... lay him out in the driveway, and proceed to clean him up...
给它刷毛，让它尽可能漂亮些 brush him out, make him as presentable as possible.
我们收过各种各样的动物.我的意思是，各个类型的动物. We had all kinds of animals. I mean, every type of animal.
有蛇，老鼠，猴子，鸡... We had snakes, rats, monkeys, chickens...
仓鼠，鼹鼠也有几只. hamsters, mice. Seen a few.
各种类型的啮齿动物. Rodents of all types.
当然还有，狗. And we had, of course, dogs.
和猫，是我们的最主要的宠物. Cats were our main pets.
但任何动物都没有区别. But it doesn't make any difference what type of animal.
你爱着它. You love it.
你想给它一个正规的葬礼. And you want to give it a proper burial.
这是你的事. 你埋葬它因为你爱它. That's your business. You bury that pet because you love it.
你可以... You could have...
有这样的想法，就是所有的动物都该被埋葬. the idea that all animals should be buried.
但如果你住在离这5公里，10公里那么远... But if you live over here, or 5 or 10 miles away...
你有一匹马，它周六死了... and you have a horse, and that horse dies on a Saturday...
它足有102华氏度(摄氏38.9度)，你没法让任何人埋了它... and it's 102 degrees, and you can't get anybody to bury it...
你只能赶紧联系炼油公司. you're going to get a hold of the rendering company real fast.
因为你想把那匹马弄走，就像这种情况，是不是？ Because you want that horse out of there, like, now. See?
我记得有一个小伙子.. I remember one young lad there that"..."
他有一只宠物羊羔. He had a pet lamb.
有天他的羊羔死了，他父亲立刻拿起电话. And his lamb died, and right away, his dad picked up the phone.
这是一只4-H动物... This is a 4-H animal...
是这小伙子亲手接生的，他爱这动物. that he had taken from birth, and he just loved this animal.
而他父亲立刻抓起听筒... And right away, his father had grabbed the phone"..."
当时在北达科他州，很少人有电话. And back in North Dakota, very few people had phones.
但在那个农场，他们装了电话. But at this particular farm, they had a phone.
他打给了瓦利城外的一家炼油厂... He called the rendering service outside of Valley City...
让他们过来把它收走. and asked them to come and pick up the animal.
我接到过养动物的人打来的电话... I've had people call who have an animal...
他们希望我们把宠物埋葬. and they want us to bury it.
但我们不埋动物, 他们就哭. 人们总是太多愁善感. We don't bury animals, and they're crying. People are very emotional.
这就是炼油业有争议的原因. That's why it's a controversial thing.
这就是为什么我不愿意分离开来陷入个体事务. That's why I don't like to break away and get into the individual thing.
当你面对一个人，他的马刚死了. You take a guy who loses his pet horse.
你知道..总有那么些人 I mean, to some people, you know...
就像死了儿子或者女儿似的.. it's like losing their son or their daughter.
我是认真的，不开玩笑. I mean it. That's no kidding.
他们真的非常悲伤.很沉痛. They're really chilled up bad. It's heavy.
你知道,听筒里传来抽泣的声音，他们在哭. You know, you get some real moaners on the phone, and they're crying.
这个小伙子，他深感不安.. This young lad, he was so upset...
他跑出来跳上他的小马,直跑到我们这里.. he went out and jumped on his pony and rode clear over to our place...
告诉我他的宠物去世了... and told me that his pet had died...
问我能不能把他的马葬在和我的牧羊犬旁. and wanted to know if he could bury his pet with my collie out there.
我说，“当然可以.” I said, "Sure."
然后我们套上几匹马... So we hooked up a team of horses...
出发去他的住处，对抗炼油厂的卡车. and we headed out to his place to beat the rendering truck.
我们成功了.到了那,我们把马装上了运货马车. And we did. We got there and got the pet on the wagon...
把它拉回了农场. and got him back over to the farm.
我猜我们比炼油厂的车早到了大约两个小时. I guess we beat the rendering truck by about two hours or something.
在办公室，我们用些假花布置了一个小祭坛. We had a little altar set up in the office with some artificial flowers.
麦克卢尔先生会点燃蜡烛.. And Mr. McClure would light the candles...
以准备随时迎接.. and be ready to receive...
为宠物哀悼的主人们. the mourning owners of the pets.
有这样一家人,妈妈出去购物了... The mother was uptown shopping...
孩子们在家里. and the kids were home.
我说的不是小孩儿. I'm not talking about small children.
我是指那些十几岁的孩子们. I'm talking about kids that are teenage children.
妈妈给他们每个人都分配了特定家务. And the mother gave them specific chores to do.
有一项,女孩子们负责洗衣服和烘干. One was, the girl was to wash and dry the clothes.
一个负责洗.. One was to wash...
另一个负责把衣物放进烘干机. and the other was to take the clothes and put it in the dryer.
总之,她们干完了. So anyway, the job was done.
那女孩把衣服扔进烘干机，把机门嘭地关上了. The girl threw the clothes in the dryer and slammed the dryer door shut...
然后走回厨房. and walked back to the kitchen.
正如我现在所理解的那样.. As I understand this now...
她听到猫叫，是猫受惊时的尖叫. she heard some meowing and frightened screams of the cat.
他们到处找，也找不到那只猫. They were looking for the cat and couldn't find the cat.
猛然间... All of a sudden...
他们听出是在烘干机里. they heard it in the dryer.
他们打开烘干机的门,发现猫就在里面. They opened the dryer door up, and the cat was in the dryer.
小猫的脖子严重受伤. The little cat suffered a broken neck.
我猜他们报了火警试图救救小猫. I guess they called out the fire department and tried to revive the cat.
但猫还是死去了. But the cat did pass on.
那种爱... The love...
人们给予他们宠物的爱真的很深切. that people have for their pets is really tremendous.
这很难用语言来解释. It's something that is very difficult to explain.
我曾亲眼见过几次... On several occasions, I've seen it myself...
在我们给宠物下葬的时候... where we were burying a pet...
整个墓地气氛凝重... the whole cemetery would be at the grave site...
孩子们... the children...
妈妈爸爸，都非常伤心. the mother, and the father would really break down...
他们都落泪了. and actually cry.
在墓地我们还提供一些细微的服务... The little services that we give out there at the cemetery...
我们会念一些类似这样的话： we bring out pretty much that:
“在我们面前的是小托比.” "Here before us lies little Toby.
“小托比降临世间有两个原因：爱与被爱.” "Little Toby was put on this Earth for two reasons: To love and be loved.
“今天,我们在这里向小托比道别...” "And today, we're standing here saying goodbye to little Toby...
“这位史密斯最亲爱的小伙伴.” "who was the Smiths' beloved little friend.
“现在我们将你交还，小托比，还给大自然母亲.” "Now, we're going to give you back, little Toby, to Mother Nature."
以前我们曾雇了个女孩. We had a gal here. I had a gal hired here.
现在，这会向你证明你到底抗议的是什么. Now, this will show you what you're up against.
她从来没去过工厂，她从没离开过这间办公室. She never went in the plant, she never left this office.
你没见过车间里的任何东西. You don't see anything of this plant.
这些卡车，你不是经常见它，是吗？ These trucks. You don't see too much, right?
她什么都没见到. And she didn't see anything.
但她还是离开了.她辞职了. But she left. She quit working here...
因为这让她很困扰. because it bothered her mind.
我们干的这行让她承受不了. The mere fact of what we did bothered her mind.
而她从没见过一丁点儿恶心或发臭的东西. And she never saw a damn thing or smelled anything.
有件事让我烦恼至今. One thing that really bothered me a lot...
在我脑海里挥之不去... that really got into my heart...
据我所知,不仅动物们... was knowing, not only that animals...
在死后被以这种粗暴的方式对待... are being treated in such a violent way after death...
在炼油公司.. in this rendering company...
被撕成碎片.. by being torn apart...
他们尸体的每个碎片都会以各种方式利用. and every scrap of their body being used in one way or another.
而且那种味道和和原料都太可怕了... But the smell and stuff was so terrific...
甚至在我们晚上坐下来吃饭时.. we'd even sit down in the evening time to our meal...
唯一冲进你鼻孔里的.. and the only thing that hit your nostrils...
不是你正要吃的肉... wasrt that good piece of meat you were about to eat...
不是蔬菜的味道.. or the vegetable...
也不是端上桌的甜品的香味.. or the nice dessert that's put on your table.
你得先抓过来一杯葡萄酒闻闻. But you first had to grab the wine glass and take a whiff of that.
来驱散你鼻孔里炼油工厂的气息. Get the smell of the rendering company out of your nostrils.
你知道发生在 JAN 酒店的事吗？ You know John Ascuaga's Nugget up there?
一次他们死了一头大象.不知道怎么处理它. They lost one of those elephants once. Didrt know what the hell to do with it.
我们给收了.结果就有人发表声明说： We got it. And somebody made the statement:
“嘿，它被送去了炼油公司.” "Hey, that thing went to the rendering company."
因此我们接到了很多电话.. We had so many phone calls...
事实上我们不得不否认我们收了那动物. and we actually had to deny that we had that animal.
我们告诉大家,我们把它运到外边一处墓地埋葬了. We told them we took it out to a pet cemetery and buried it.
因为人们就是不愿意接受....他们感到不寒而栗. Because people just didn't want to get"..." People got chilled up.
那动物发生了什么？把大象怎么了？ What happened to that animal? What happened to that elephant?
大象哪去了? 偶尔动物园会死一只长颈鹿.... Where's the elephant? Every once in a while, they'll lose a giraffe at the zoo...
或失去了他们的大贝莎，或狗熊乔，叫什么都无所谓. or they'll lose Big Bertha, or Joe Bear or whatever his name is.
我是说，人们会问，“嘿，这发生什么了？” And I mean, people say, "Hey, what's going on here?"
我们最好找一块地埋了它等等. We better bury this and get a plot and everything.
我们和动物园做了一笔长期交易. So we have a standing deal with the zoo.
他们不会告诉别人死去动物的去处. They don't tell them where the animal went.
因为他们不想埋了它们. Because they don't want to be in the burying business.
我来到这时，见到了那些丑陋的事情. When I came here, and seen this ugly crisis...
他们在这建了一些毒气室... these gas chambers that they got built down here...
濒死的宠物们躺在垃圾坑里... and these pets half-dead going into the dump grounds...
推土机从它们身上碾过... and the bulldozer going over the top of them...
留下它们在垃圾里垂死挣扎.. and leaving them half alive in the garbage dumps...
当回想起这些，我想：我们要与之抗争. brought me back to that, and I thought, "We're going to beat this."
这是激励我做宠物公墓的原因之一 And this is part of the inspiration...
要把我们的宠物小伙伴们.. of getting our little pets...
从那种地方救出来，葬入墓地. out of these places and into a cemetery.
那时我们可以自豪地宣称： Something that we could be proud of saying:
“我的小宠物已经完成了它在这的任务.” "My little pet has done his chore here.
“上帝将它赠予我们，背负着爱与被爱的使命..” "That God has sent him to us to do a chore: Love and be loved...
“服务于它的主人.”是的,它们真的做到了. "and serve his master." And, boy, these little pets have done that.
不要让它们经历人间地狱. And not let them go into the bases of the living hell.
如我之前说的，“死亡是为了新生而非消逝.” Like I said before, "Death is for the living and not for the dead."
唱啊，宝贝. Sing, baby.
唱出来. Come on.
我要妈妈. I want my mama.
哦，太困了. Oh, so sleepy.
好样的. Attaboy.
我要妈妈. I want my mama.
你想睡觉了吗? 我们大声唱. Are you sleepy? We'll sing loud.
该怎么说你有多怀念它们呢. How can I say how you miss them.
当你在午夜醒来感觉她就在身边... And how you wake at night and feel around for her...
希望她一切安好.而她甚至已经不在那了. hoping that's she's all right, and then she's not even there.
这真心碎.当你想起她已经离去. It's heartbreaking. And then you remember that she's gone.
你开始想她在哪儿. You get to thinking where she is.
你知道她的去处.她在那让你很安心. You know where she is and you're happy where she is.
第二天,你带着花离开家,也许会冥想一小会儿... The next day you go out and take flowers, maybe meditate a little bit...
想你曾多少次埋首在她的软毛里哭泣. and think of how often maybe you cried into her fur.
人们彼此钟情,因为他们彼此相像. People like people because they like one another.
但人们不会完全信赖他人. And people don't trust one another thoroughly...
不像人和动物间的那种信任. like an animal and a human being.
我跟你很熟. I can know you very well.
但转过身来, 我就不认识你了. But when I turn my back, I don't know you.
不真正认识. Not truly.
但我的小狗狗... But my little dog...
我可以把背后交付给我的小狗狗. I can turn my back on my little dog...
我知道他就在我身后. 他是我的小伙伴. and I know he's back there. He's my little friend.
他不会跳到我身上咬我或干别的什么. He's not gonna jump on me or bite me or anything like that.
但人就不同了. But human beings cannot be this way.
我们没有写下一纸合同. 这是我们的错. We didn't get an agreement, which is our fault, in writing.
牵连的事越来越多. And it just kept getting involved and more involved.
因为没有最终协议.我们开始.. And since there was no final agreement, then we started...
产生分歧, 有一些争论. to differ on ideas, and get into a few arguments.
宠物公墓不是一门赚快钱的生意. A pet cemetery business is not a fast-buck scheme.
不是一场光鲜的游戏. It's not a suede-shoe game.
它是一项向善的，稳固的事业. It's a good, solid business enterprise.
要恪守这个概念... And in order to have this concept...
你必须把它装在心里，而不是钱包里. it has to be in your heart and not in your billfold.
我只想和有这种想法的人一起共事. And these are the type of people I wanted in business with me...
践行宠物公墓的理念. in the pet cemetery concept.
不幸的是, 我们没能继续下去.. The reason, unfortunately, why we didn't continue on...
宠物公墓没能持续发展的原因.. with the entire development of the pet cemetery was...
在于我们没能搞定投资人... we couldn't actually work it out with our investors...
我们可以准确地预估出未来的收入. that we could project exactly what the income would be for it.
因为我们无法容纳下那么多.. Because we had no way of projecting the amount of people...
想把宠物们葬入墓地的人. that would want to put their pets into a cemetery...
尽管我们知道这行有巨大的需求. even though we felt that there was a great need for it.
因此一段时间以后,我们决定.. So after several weeks and several months, we decided...
还是把这块地还给原来的主人. it would be better to turn it back to the original owners...
也就是邓顿先生和他的家族. which was Mr. Dunton and his family.
我被告知.. I was told...
邓顿家族正在尝试进行黄金投资... that Duntons trying to get themselves involved in some sort of gold venture...
或把动物尸体从美国出口到墨西哥.. or exporting of dead animals from the United States to Mexico...
卖给墨西哥的大学... for some university in Mexico...
进行动物方面的研究. to do some exploration type of work on the animals.
罗伯特邓顿先生说服了肯邓顿夫人... Mr. Robert Dunton had convinced Mrs. Ken Dunton...
把他们的孩子生在墨西哥, 让儿子成为墨西哥公民.. to have her child born in Mexico, so he would be a Mexican citizen.
在这个掩护下... And under those pretences...
他就能在墨西哥把生意做大. he could have a business in Mexico and control it.
邓顿先生回到城里.. Mr. Dunton came back into town...
当时他决定... and he decided at that time that"..."
恩,也许,这是个好主意.我对这个人的想法不做评价. Well, maybe, this is just a great thing. I can't speak for this man's mind.
但当时我脑子里唯一的想法是,他们决定... But the only thing I thought at the time was the way they decided...
要我打开一个墓穴, 把几个宠物放进一个墓穴里,再合上它. I should open one grave site, put several pets into one grave, close it.
对我而言,这只意味着一件事： To me, that only spelled one thing:
“我们把还能拿回来的钱都拿回来吧.” "Let's get all the bucks we can out of this."
‘死去的宠物面临从洛斯阿托公墓迁出’ Dead pets face eviction from Los Altos graves
麦克给我打电话： Mac called me and says:
“嗯, 我们没能达成最后的共识, 今天我要退出了.” "Well, we can't come to a final agreement, and I got put out today."
他说： He says:
“律师建议我们把那些宠物以合法手段处理掉...” "The attorney's advice would be to get all those pets over on the legal side...
“然后撤出.” "and vamoose."
于是我们就这么做了. So that's what we did.
‘他们正挖出死去的宠物, 半岛的伤心往事’ They're digging up dead pets, old griefs on Peninsula.
比林斯利太太去过公墓后. Mrs. Billingsley came out to the cemetery...
说工人移动了她宠物墓上的石头. and said that they had moved the stone on her animal.
我回答 “如果他们要把动物移出墓穴...” And I said, "How are they gonna to get the animal out of the grave...
“不挪动石头怎么搬出棺材呢?” "the casket out, if they don't move the stone?"
她说她不想迁移她的爱宠. And she said she didn't want her animal moved.
她说“你说得好像我一点都不在意我的宝贝.” She said, "You talk as if I didn't care about my animals."
我说“在我看来就是这样.” And I said, "Well, that's the way it appears to me."
我问她是否签署了通知. 她说签了. I asked her if she'd signed a release, and she said she had.
然后她又说没签. 所以我也不知道,我不确定. Then she said she hadn't. So I don't know. I can't swear to that.
但我打定主意, 我可不跟她一起犯傻. But I made up my mind I wasn't going to fool with her.
她去和罗伯特邓顿先生谈这件事. She went down and talked to Mr. Robert Dunton...
我坐在车里等她儿子. and I sat in the car waiting for his son.
本来也要我签署通知, 要转移我的狗狗. I was supposed to sign the release to let my dog go.
但我看到他们都两个看向我, 开始大笑.. And then I saw both of them look in my direction and start laughing...
好像这是个大笑话.. like it was just a big joke.
她没太让我烦恼. She isn't going to cause me any trouble...
因为我决定根本不去注意她. because I'm not going to pay any attention to her.
她只是希望引起注意. 她就想当个大人物. She just wanted to be noticed. She just wanted to be Miss Big.
而在这里我们有很多真正需要帮助的可怜人... And here we have all of these other poor people that really needed help...
她只想做个大小姐... and she was just trying to be Miss Big...
她付出的甚至都没有我们其他人一半多. and she didn't pay half as much as the rest of us did.
我不确定她是不是真的爱她的宠物... I don't know whether she really liked her animals or loved them...
还是她只想作秀，给大家留下深刻的印象. or whether she was just trying to show off, make a big impression.
反正我这么想.. This was my idea...
因为有的人开着凯迪拉克呼啸而来.. because anybody that would come whizzing up in a Cadillac...
穿着她所有的皮草, 去一个墓地... with all of her furs on, to a cemetery...
而你知道，在他们挖坟的时候会有臭味... and you know when they're digging animals, there's gonna be an odor...
这没什么可炫耀的. didn't have much upstairs.
因为，我跟你说,那就不是穿皮草的场合. Because, I'll tell you, that was not the place to wear fur.
我觉得应该做点什么，让这类事永不再发生. I think that something should be done so that it shall never happen again.
对我们这代人来说，发生这样的事真的很糟糕. I think it was a horrible thing for us in this generation to have it happen.
在加利福尼亚州这样的地方. And in a state like California...
掘开宠物的墓地，我觉得这很残忍. to have something like that, I think it's inumane.
我想麦克是真的希望有一块宠物公墓... I think Mac really wanted a pet cemetery...
而且他也许是一个非常热爱动物的人. and I think he probably had a great love for animals.
但不幸的是, 这并不容易. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
你不能就这么放手开始干, 建个小教堂... You can't just go out and start something like that, build a chapel...
花5万美金弄一块地... and pay $50,000 an acre for land...
还得缴税.. and pay taxes, interest on the balance...
平均利息25美分.. for 25 cents.
这不可能. Impossible.
而且邓顿家族.. And the Duntons were not interested...
对麦克脑海中那座美丽的伊甸园，根本没兴趣. in that beautiful Garden of Eden that Mac had in his mind.
我真觉得他心里有这么一个地方. Because I really think he had it in his mind.
所以总共算起... So as a total...
从关门到最终诉讼的时候. before it finally wound up and went to the final lawsuit...
我个人损失了3万. 我不确定乔赔了多少. I myself lost around $30,000. I'm not sure how much Joe has lost.
估计跟我差不多. It's in that neighborhood.
我认为在你损失了这么多钱之后.. I suppose after you lose this kind of money...
你依然继续工作, 直到在某方面取得了成功. you just keep working at it until you're a success at something.
这件事唯一让我歉疚的, 就是同情心. The only thing that I'm guilty of is compassion.
再没别的. And that's all.
如果你要提出 If you want to put...
什么对我的控告... to what I was charged with...
在法庭上... in the courts...
他们唯一能控诉我的，就是我有同情心. the only thing they can charge me with is compassion.
因为我把我的心放在了美元前边. Because I put my heart over the dollar sign.
我追求的不是钱. It wasrt the dollar I was after.
而是要关爱我的客户... It was to take care of my customers...
将我的一切奉献给我相信的东西. and my dedication to what I believed in.
而我证明我观点的方式.. Then, because of the way I proved my point...
就是把我的心... by using my heart...
投入到履行我的职责上.... into fulfilling my obligation...
正因如此，我被宣告有罪. then I was condemned.
他们开始写信... Then they write letters...
告诉每个人我不再是合伙人. telling everybody I'm no longer part of it...
他们踢开了我.. which broke me...
不仅是财政上的.. not only financially...
我成了其他人的沉重负担. a burden upon myself and everyone else"..."
我不仅被剔除了.. I was not only broke...
还伤透了心. but broken-heart.
宠物公墓再掩埋款项. Pet Cemetery Rebural Due
我是在农场长大的. I was raised on a farm...
在那我们养过鸡、猪、奶牛、绵羊，什么都有. where we had chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, and everything.
但在这, 我迷失了. But down here I've been lost.
现在他们把一切都搬到了.... Now they're taking them all away from here up to the"..."
离这不远的那个地方叫什么来着？ What's the name of that place that's up above here a little ways?
那个小镇? That town?
B 打头的.. Commences with "B."
蓝山公墓, 我想是叫这个名字. It's Blue Hill Cemetery, I think the name of it is.
不是很远,我猜离这20公里吧. Not too far, I guess about maybe 20 miles from here.
一个小镇,小地方,你知道就在那. A little town there, a little place. You know where it's at.
但我非常吃惊.. But I was really surprised...
当听说他们要把公墓拆掉.. when I heard they were getting rid of the cemetery over here.
他们要在那附近盖房子.. They're putting buildings or something over there.
我知道人们对我非常好. I know people have been very good to me, you know.
他们看到了我的境况,我猜,还为我难过. Well, they see my condition, I guess, and felt sorry for me.
但这是我真实的状况.不是装的,是真的. But it's real my condition is. It's not put on, that's for sure.
天，我多想走走，多想出去转转.. Boy, if I could only walk, if I could only get out...
开着我的车... drive my car"..."
我只能另买一辆车. I'd get another car.
是的.我儿子,如果他能对我好点. Yeah. My son, if he was only better to me.
我给他买了辆车..于是他就有了一辆不错的汽车. After I bought him that car"..." He's got a nice car.
不久前我花钱买的. I bought it myself just a short time ago.
我不懂.这些孩子.. I don't know. These kids...
你为他们做得越多.. the more you do for them"..."
我孙子, 从他两岁起我就开始带他了. He's my grandson, but I raised him from 2 years old.
我丈夫总告诉我... And my husband always told me...
他说,“当妈的，总有一天你会伤心.” he says, "Mama, someday you're going to be sorry."
那是辆车吗？ That was a car?
哦天哪. Oh, boy.
他说“总有一天，你会难过的.” He said, "Someday you're going to be sorry."
你看到一切是如何发生的了吗？ You see how it happens, things?
我不能经常见到他. I don't see him very often.
亏他还有辆车. And he just got the car.
我没有付全款.我给了他400美元. I didn't pay for all of it. I gave him $400.
是辆不错的车.他老板知道. Pretty good. His boss knows it.
现在他不给那身制服打工了.他换了工作. He's not working for that outfit now. He's changed.
他干回原来的工作，拖沙. He's gone back on his old job, hauling sand.
不,不是拖沙.他做办公室工作.是的. No, not hauling sand. He's working in the office. That's right.
他接管了办公室的活计.他老板打电话告诉我的. He took over the office job. His boss told me that on the phone.
但是,你知道,他应该多帮帮我才对. But, you know, he should help me more.
他是我的全部.是他带我来到这里. He's all I got. He's the one who brought me up here.
然后就这样把我丢在一群陌生人中间. And then put me here by myself among strangers.
这太糟了,如果你停下来想想. It's terrible, if you stop and think of it.
刚到这来,我无依无靠. I've been without so much when I first came up here.
我一半的麻烦都是因为他没跟我一起在家. Half of my trouble is from him not being home with me.
在这我从来没花过他的钱. Didrt cost him nothing to stay here.
而每次他缺钱了,就来找我. Every time he needed money, he'd always come:
“妈妈，我能拿走这个吗？我能拿走那个吗? ” "Mom, can I have this? Can I have that?"
而他从不回报什么. But he never pays it back.
“人善被人欺.”每个人都这样告诉我. "Too good, too easy." That's what everybody tells me.
现在我不这么干了.我不干了. I quit now. I quit.
现在他有了坐班的工作,我要依靠他了. Now he's got the office job, I'm going after him.
我也要靠他生活. I'm going after him good, too.
如果我必须.. If I have to...
用另一种方式... do it in a different way.
现在要他花钱了.他有了办公室的工作. He's going to pay that money. He's got the office job now.
毕竟他也挣钱了. He makes good money anyway.
他没孩子.也没结婚.“永不结婚.”他说. And he has no kids. He's not married. "Never get married," he says.
他结过一次婚，然后离了. He was married once. They're divorced.
嗯, 她试图让他养孩子, 但失败了. Well, she tried to take him for the kid, but she didn't.
他们去了法院.但那却是别人的孩子. They went to court. It was somebody else's kid.
她就是个荡妇.我告诫过他，他不听. She was nothing but a tramp. I told him that. He wouldn't listen.
我说“我知道她的货色.理查德,你就听我一句吧.” I said, "I know what she is. Richard, please, listen to me."
不他不听.就他明白.就他什么都懂. No, he wouldn't listen. He knew it all. He knew everything.
大人物呢. Big shot.
但很快他就发现了. But he soon found out.
现在一切都结束了. Now that's all over with.
我经历了这么多,真不明白为什么我还能活着. I've been through so much, I don't know how I'm staying alive.
真的,在我这个年纪... Really, for my age"..."
如果还年轻，那是另一回事. If you're young, it's different.
我总说“我不会老的.” But I've always said, "I'm never going to grow old."
我总这么觉得. I've always had that.
告诉别人我多大年纪时，他们都不信. And people that I tell how old I am, they don't believe me.
通常人到了我这个年纪,按规律，不会像我这么能干. Because people my age, as a I rule, don't get around like I do.
跳跳去世很久了，大概有两三年了. Skippy's been dead quite awhile, two or three years.
‘450只宠物将被纳帕谷接收’ 450 Dead Pets Going to Napa Valley
我不太愿意去想这件事. I don't want to think about it.
人人都喜欢那条狗. Everybody liked that dog around here.
你知道，对宠物的思念,跟怀念任何家人是一样的. You know, you miss your pets just like you do any of the family.
而且我也不知道最后那只小猫怎么样了. And I don't know what happened to this last little kitty who was here.
现在猫都没有了. Now all the cats have gone.
周围没有猫，没有动物，什么都没有. There's no cats around, no animals, no nothing.
我真想那只小黑猫. I miss that little black kitten so much.
它可棒了. It was wonderful.
忽然之间，嘭，动物都消失了. And all of a sudden, boom. No animals around.
附近有人把它们赶走了. Somebody in the neighborhood or something is doing away with them.
墓地接收这400只宠物的想法 The thought of trying to bury 400 pets...
开始很难被接受. was pretty hard to accept at the outset.
然而,我们觉得我们得对宠物主人们负责到底. However, we felt that we had an obligation to pet owners...
因为如果我们不努力承担起这份责任... because if we were not to take on this endeavor...
只会留下很多难过的宠物主人. it would leave many pet owners with a sour taste...
这会让我们的行业倒退很长一段时间. and could set our industry back for a long time.
我们经常被问道. We are often asked. ;
“为什么别家都倒闭了，你们却经营得很成功？” "Why is your business apparently successful where others have failed?"
唯一的答案很明显,那就是.. The only answer that I can give is a very obvious one and that is. ;
我们试图遵循合理的商业规律... We have tried to follow sound business practices...
显然其他倒闭的宠物公墓.. where it's quite obvious that other pet cemeteries...
他们没能做到... that have now failed, did not.
这个公墓将会长期经营下去... This cemetery will be in business...
从现在起50，60，70，到100年... 50, 60, 70, or 100 years from now.
肯定比那些埋它们的人.... Certainly beyond the lifetime of anybody...
活得都长.. who ever buried a pet here.
我想这关系到所有把宠物埋葬在这里的人们. I think this is all that concerns people that have buried their pets here.
当我们决定.. When we decided...
把这块地产做成宠物公墓.. to turn the property into a pet cemetery...
我们讨论起什么名字... and we discussed a name...
我们一致觉得, 找不到比这更合适的名字了... we just all agreed that we couldn't come up with a better one...
涌泉宠物纪念公园. 发音也很可爱. than Bubbling Well Pet Memorial Park, which has a lovely sound.
它的含义是.. 涌动的清泉.. The connotation is something living, bubbling.
流淌着,美丽清凉跳跃的泉水... A well with lovely, refreshing spring water.
它还寓意着生命.. And it has a meaning of life...
和纯洁... and purity...
和一切我们乐于去想的美好事物. and all of the good things that we all like to think about.
大多数人并不知道, 我们正处在一个宠物量爆炸的时代.. Most people don't know it, but we're in the middle of a pet explosion...
不仅贯穿全美国，还遍及整个世界. throughout not only the United States, but throughout the world.
这是由于... And this has been brought about...
近10-15年里，家庭生活出现了... from the new pattern that has emerged in the last 10-15 years...
新的模式.. in the family life.
我得说, 避孕药是导致宠物量暴增的最大原因.. I would say that the pill is largely more responsible...
比任何其他因素都重要. for the pet explosion than any other single factor.
对于很多人不懂商业的人而言... This is quite a surprise...
这听起来很惊人.. to a lot of people that don't understand the business...
因为他们没做过任何背景研究. and haven't done any background work.
其实很简单. But it's very simple.
原来的家庭模式要求丈夫出去挣钱... The old style was for the husband to earn the living...
母亲呆在家里. and the mother stayed at home.
今天, 我们的模式不同了. 如今丈夫和妻子都出去工作. Today, we have a different pattern. Today, husband and wife both work.
他们要让自己在成家之前. And they want to prepare themselves...
先做好准备.. with a home and some of the things they would like to have...
给自己准备一个家和其他想要的东西.. before they start a family.
好吧, 从规划的角度说这是个不错的主意. Well, this is just fine from a planning standpoint.
但自然规律不能违背. But nature can't be put aside.
当年轻的妈妈回到家.她需要爱抚什么东西. When the young mother comes home, she has to have something to fondle.
一个能满足母性，能去爱的东西. Something to mother, something to love.
她就会养宠物. She'll have a pet.
其余普通模式的家庭.. The rest of it, in the normal pattern...
就是祖父母一辈.. would be that the grandparents...
他们有孩子.. would have children.
有孙子.. Grandchildren...
要照顾和爱抚, 帮着抚养长大. to take care of, to fondle, and to help to rear.
这些能满足他们对施与爱和接受爱的需求. This would satisfy their need for love and giving of love and receiving.
但当他们被置于一旁,5,6,7或8年... But when this has been set aside for five, six, seven, or eight years...
他们怎么办？养宠物. what do they do? They get a pet.
现在我们说到了家庭模式的两端. Now we're talking about both sides of the family.
而不仅讨论了一端. We are not talking about just one.
现在我们有了三个宠物量暴增的方式. Now we have a three-way explosion.
今天，我们在这... Well, we're here...
送凯撒回归大地. to put Caesar in the ground today.
我知道,这不是你期待的一刻. I know this is something that you've not looked forward to...
但我很好奇.. but I would just be interested to know...
为什么选择涌泉公墓. how you picked Bubbling Well.
请再告诉我们一些关于凯撒的事情.. And just tell us a little about Caesar...
使我们能够尽可能的感同身受. so we can have as much personal feeling about this as you do...
因为接下来, 就将由我们照顾凯撒了. because we're going to be Caesar's caretakers...
从今以后,照管它的小墓. and take care of his plot from now on.
尽管我们不能了解.. And although we can't know...
每一个进驻涌泉公墓的小宠物的生活细节.. personal details about all the pets of all who come to Bubbling Well...
我们热爱这些小动物.. we have a great feeling for pets...
因此非常希望将凯撒介绍给我们的宠物大家庭. and we certainly want to include Caesar in our pet family.
卡尔, 这有一张凯撒的小照片. Cal, here's a little picture of Caesar.
看到它,你就能理解.. If you see that, you can understand...
为什么我们要把它安葬在像涌泉公墓这么美的地方. why we wanted him buried in a good place like Bubbling Wells here.
你知道,我觉得我认得他. You know, I feel like I know him.
-是吗? -他的脸 他的笑容. - Is that right? - That face and that smile.
他这品种很常见. He was quite some dog.
再请问下他的血统? And what was his pedigree again?
他是一个混血.澳洲绵羊和澳洲犬的杂交. He was a mixture of Australian sheep and terrier.
-澳洲犬？ -是的. - And terrier? - Yeah.
你看他的披肩长发. You can see with all that hair he had.
他简直穿了件大衣. Did he have a coat.
- 再看看他的脸. -真漂亮不是吗? - And look at that face. - Isn't he beautiful?
我从没见过这样的杂交. I've never seen that kind of a mix.
我们这有很多不同的配对. And we get many different combinations.
从他身上我们能看出.. One thing that we get and we see...
这是杂交, 看起来似乎是专门培育的杂交品种.. is it's the combinations, it's the crossbreed that produce seemingly...
-最好的宠物. -是的. - the best pet. - Right.
纯血统的也不错.. The purebreds are fine...
很多人跟他们的纯血统宠物.. and a lot of people enjoy their relationship...
感情也非常深厚. 但似乎当我们有了杂交品种.. as much as others. But it seems that when we get a mix...
它就带出了所有物种的优点. somehow it seems to bring out the best in all the breeds.
- 成为更好的宠物. - 没错. - And they make a better pet. - Right.
不知道为什么. 这是最非同寻常的. I don't know. This is most unusual.
最不寻常的. Most unusual.
只能说, 我从来没见过像它这样的. I just can say I've never seen anything like that.
- 它的头发总遮住眼睛. -这来自羊的那一面. - He always had hair over his eyes. - That's from the sheep in him.
它往外看的时候从不费劲吗？ He never had any trouble looking out?
不, 它看路看得好着呢. - 他到处走. - No, he found his way around good. - He got around.
- 真高兴你给我看它的照片. -它总伴我左右. - I'm glad you showed that to me. - He always got around me pretty nice.
一定是的. I bet he did.
我们的大儿子, 在保险业工作.. Our oldest son, who was in the insurance business...
在盐湖城.. back in Salt Lake City...
因为保险业压力太大.. decided that insurance business pressures were getting to him...
他回了一趟家.. and he made a trip back home...
看看旧金山湾区有什么能做的. just to look around the Bay Area to see what might be available.
他母亲, 用她惯常的绕弯子方式.. His mother, as devious as she is...
把他弄上山, 对他好一番花言巧语.. got him on the hill and really sold him a bill of goods.
我们知道的下一件事.. And the next thing we knew...
就是他决定把他的小家搬回纳帕. he had decided to bring his little family back to Napa.
年轻人都有雄心.. Every young guy has an aspiration...
要在销售领域占得一席之地. to pursue a very aggressive sales field.
而我唯一能想到的就是保险业. About the only thing I could think about was insurance.
我从推销员做起. 一直升到销售经理. I started off as a salesman, worked my way up to a sales manager.
但自始至终, 我都没了解过保险业... But throughout the whole thing... I wasrt cognizant of it...
其实我是利用自己的体力和年轻，才达到这个高度. but I was actually using my strength and my youth to the height.
我完全透支了. I was burning out.
无论我怎么吃.. I could not exceed 150 pounds...
也超不过150磅.. no matter how much I ate...
有太多需要动脑筋的地方. There was so much mental work there.
我根本没有空闲的时间. I had, ultimately, no free time.
因此我辞职了. So I resigned my position.
当然, 还给了其他人很多忠告. Of course, gave them plenty of warning.
决定回到加利福尼亚. And decided to come back to California.
我曾自问, 工作对我意味着什么? I have to say to myself, what does it mean to me?
辞职回家对我意味着什么？ What does this mean to me?
未来又对我意味着什么？ What is it going to mean to me?
我认识到.. I recognize this and"..."
两件事指引我作出决定. A couple of things when I was instructing motivation...
回到盐湖城. back in Salt Lake City...
就是..你知道.. is that, you know...
如果我们不能时不时停下来问自己.. if we don't stop and ask ourselves a question once in a while...
检视我们的潜意识.或想法.. to probe our subconscious or to probe our conscious"..."
原来我教过.这是一个清楚,简单的公式. I used to teach it. It's a plain, simple formula.
我们把每件事都简化为一个公式去记忆. We reduced everything to a formula, memorized it...
这样就能时刻回顾. and therefore we were able to repeat it constantly.
我称它为 R2/A2 公式. I used to call it the R2/A2 Formula.
认识到, 建立联系, 消化吸收, 付诸实践. Recognize, relate, assimilate, and put into action.
比如我在路上开车时, 看到一辆奔驰450. Like I could be driving down the freeway and see a 450 SL...
我说“嘿, 我喜欢.”这对我意味着什么？ and I can say, "Hey, I like that." What does that mean to me?
为得到它我要做些什么？怎么做？ What would I have to do to get it? How can I do it?
然后放手去干,努力争取. And then go to work for it. And strive for it.
这让生活变得容易. It kind of makes life easy.
我想这就是为什么很多人没能成功... I think that's why a lot of people don't...
他们精疲力竭. 遭遇情绪危机... They get frustrated. They have emotional problems...
因为他们不懂如何应对自己的想法. because they don't know how to cope with their mind.
这三件事是我要去做的.. There are three things that I've got to do...
也是任何人该做的, 如果他们想成功. that anybody has to do if they want to be successful.
要心怀渴望, “想要”. To have the desire, the "want to."
为什么你早上要去上班？ Why do you go to work in the morning?
诶, 为什么我在这？ Gee, why am I here?
因为你想要. Because you want to.
这很明显. But that's obvious.
然后,接下来,很重要的要素... And then, the next very important ingredient...
也是很多人和事业没能深入发掘的东西. is something that a lot of people and businesses fail to delve into.
就是行为学知识. It's the activity-knowledge.
它如同数学题里的方程式. It would be the equation...
还如同.. to a mathematical problem. It would be equal...
化学家乳化化学药品的能力. to the chemist's ability to emulsify chemicals.
你知道正确的化合价. You know, properly, the valences.
知道整个过程, 和每个细节的知识. But the knowledge of it, the whole scope, everything in detail.
