好吧,嗯……《獵戶座之龍》無聊又荒謬，老實說，它可能只適合監獄圖書館作為額外的懲罰形式。 Okay, um... "'Dragons of Orion' is boring, absurd, "and, frankly, it may only be fit for a prison library "as an added form of punishment.
"這是j。f。斯坦布裡奇出版社"連續第三次發佈了低於標準的版本" "This is the third subpar release in a row "from the once renowned publishing house "of J.F. Stanbridge.
很難判斷，露西·斯坦布裡奇是在“試圖與系列文學作品劃清界限”，讓這所房子變得有意義，還是她根本無法勝任這份工作。 "It's difficult to tell if Lucy Stanbridge "is trying to distance herself from the series literary fare "that made the house relevant, "or if she's simply not up to the task.

不，不是《泰晤士報》。" No, not "The Times."
什麼? What?
《獵戶座的龍》是愚蠢的。 "Dragons of Orion" is dumb.
全部大寫,“啞巴”。 All caps, "dumb."
它試圖成為哈利波特，但它甚至不壞的暮光之城。 It's trying to be Harry Potter, but it's not even a bad "Twilight."

也許,但毫無意義。 Maybe, but pointless.
-他還沒死——誰? - And he's not dead. - Who?

任何人都能寫出那樣的東西。這是小說。 Anyone can write that stuff. It's fiction.
-他們為此上了法庭。-我不相信。 - They went to court for it. - I don't believe it.
不可能。他沒有向任何人開槍。 No way. He didn't shoot anyone.

現在是第二…最受歡迎的標籤。 is now the number two... uh, most popular hashtag.
“扯淡”不是一個壞詞。 "Bullshite" is not a bad word.
它在英國的意思是“放屁”。 It just means "bullshit" in British.
你知道，英國人都瘋了。 You know, British people are crazy.
順便說一句，社交媒體並不能代表真實的世界，明白嗎? And, by the way, social media does not represent the real world, okay?
喂? Hello?
沒人對哈裡斯·肖有意見。 No one has a problem with Harris Shaw.
他是個很善良的老人，是個傳奇人物。 He's a very kind old man who is a... is a... is a legend.
你先出版他，好嗎? You publish him first, okay?
所以別這樣看著我。 So don't look at me like that.
——是嗎?-嗨。 - Yeah? - Hi.
進展得怎樣? How's it going?
每個人的取消。 Everyone's canceling.
蜥蜴休息室裡有。 The Lizard Lounge has it.
嗯哼。什麼? Mm-hmm. What?
波士頓的酒吧? The bar in Boston?
他們剛在推特上邀請哈裡斯做讀書會。 They just tweeted an invitation for Harris to do a reading.
是啊，是個酒吧。算了吧。 Yeah, it's a bar. Forget it.
不是一般的酒吧。 Not just any bar.
這是哈裡斯當年表演口述的地方。 It's where Harris performed his spoken word back in the day.
他在那裡讀自己未發表的小說。 It's where he read his unpublished stories.
-那是你父親…——發現了他。 - It's where your father... - Discovered him.
這很完美。 It's kind of perfect.
他的書。 Book him.
我去把他保釋出來 And I'll go bail him out.
他已經預定了。 He's already booked.
好。 Good.
預定任何取消我們計畫的穀倉和城市。 Book any damn barn, any city that canceled us.
我們正在巡演。 We are doing this tour.
我才不要坐那輛破車。 I am not riding in that crotch rocket.
喂!哇! Wee! Whoo!
對不起。我是個好司機。我只是…這對我來說是反向的。 Sorry. I am a good driver. I just... This is backwards for me.
喲! Whee!
這是令人興奮的。 This is exciting.
我小時候經常求我爸帶我去巡迴售書。 Man, I used to beg my dad to take me on book tours when I was little.
但他永遠不會。 But he never would.
他總是告訴我，這條路不適合一個年輕女孩。 He always told me that the road was no place for a young girl.
所以… So...
你還記得那部土狼和走鵑的卡通片嗎? do you remember that cartoon with the coyote and the roadrunner?
你還記得嗎? Do you remember that?
我們經常在電視上看比賽，我爸爸會指著螢幕說，“如果你像那只roadrunner一樣敏捷和狡猾，你就可以和我一起巡演。” We used to watch it on television, and my dad, he would point to the screen and say, "You can come on tour with me when you're as quick and crafty as that roadrunner."
我一直不知道那是什麼意思。 And I never knew what that meant.
你不想談談嗎? You don't want to talk?
我不想和你說話。 I don't want to talk to you.
走鵑的最高時速約為每小時20英里。 The roadrunner's top speed is about 20 miles an hour.
而這只土狼已經43多歲了。 And the coyote is 43-plus.
所以這幅漫畫就是扯淡。 So this cartoon is bullshite.
真相總是第一個犧牲品。 Truth is always the first casualty.
這都是bullshite。 It's all bullshite.
這是巡迴售書，明白嗎? This is a book tour, you see?
為什麼我不讀點什麼呢? So why don't I read something?
是嗎? Eh?
——哇!-拜託，夥計。 - Whoo! - Come on, dude.

提醒大家這個人寫過一本書。 Just a reminder to everybody that this man wrote a book.
它現在正在出售。 That it's for sale right now.

再來一杯，好嗎? Another pour, will you?
是的，終於有人會讀書了。 Yes, finally, someone that reads.
哇。 Wow.
所以,有t恤嗎? So, got T-shirts?
不。 No.
我有書。 I have books.
嗯…是啊，你應該賣t恤。 Uh... yeah, you should sell T-shirts.
我會記住的。 I'll keep that in mind.
呀。 Jeez.
我覺得還不錯。 I thought that went rather well.
哈裡斯，如果下次你能讀到書裡的內容就更好了。 You know, Harris, it would be helpful if at the next reading you would actually read from the book.
如果你不讓我編輯，至少讓我賣了，好嗎，哈裡斯? If you won't let me edit it, at least let me sell it, okay, Harris?
哈裡斯? Harris?
別忘了書。 Don't forget the books.
他媽的什麼? What the fuck?
該死的。 Bloody hell.
所以…我要讀一下書上的內容。 So... I'm going to read from the book.
“Bullshite。Bullshite。Bullshite。 "Bullshite. Bullshite. Bullshite.
Bullshite。” Bullshite."
Bullshite !Bullshite !Bullshite ! Bullshite! Bullshite! Bullshite!
Bullshite !Bullshite !Bullshite !Bullshite ! Bullshite! Bullshite! Bullshite! Bullshite!

Bullshite。 Bullshite.
Bullshite。Bullshite。 Bullshite. Bullshite.
Bullshite。 Bullshite.
Bullshite !Bullshite ! Bullshite! Bullshite!
我不明白。 I don't get it.

他寫了一本書? He wrote a book?
他在一本書上撒尿。我不知道他寫過。 He pissed on a book. I didn't know he wrote one.
奇數。這就是我說的。 Odd. This is what I'm talking about.
一定是出了什麼問題。 Something must be wrong.
你去問問賣主，看看書是不是放在顯眼的地方。 Why don't you check with the vendors, see if the book is placed prominently.

一位偉大的編輯會從葡萄酒中提煉出隱喻性的渣滓，很明顯，肖先生需要一位元偉大的編輯，因為我擔心這款新葡萄酒不會陳年。 A great editor strains the metaphorical dregs from the wine, and it's clear Mr. Shaw needs a great editor, as this new vintage will not age well, I'm afraid.
和往常一樣，這句話很簡潔，諾蘭先生。 Succinctly put, as usual, Mr. Nolan.
但你覺得蕭伯納開創性小說《原子之秋》的粉絲 But do you think fans of Shaw's seminal novel, "Atomic Autumn,"
還會欣賞《未來是x級》嗎? might still appreciate "The Future Is X-Rated"?
肖先生和我有分歧，但這不是私人恩怨。 Mr. Shaw and I have our differences, but this isn't personal.
這本書決意要冒犯每一種明顯導致其所謂事件的意識形態。 The book is determined to offend every ideology that apparently brought on its so-called event.

這意味著你他媽沒有自由來告訴我該怎麼做。 It means that you don't have the fucking freedom to tell me what to do.
如果你的文字真他媽完美，那你為什麼不讀出來呢? If your words are so fucking perfect, then why didn't you read from it?

只是忘記…當這事沒發生過，好嗎? Just forget... Forget this ever happened, okay?
我可不會輕易忘記。 I don't fucking forget easily.
你想知道嗎? You want to know something?
你試圖一次完成兩件事，而你只需要完成一件。 You are trying to accomplish two things at once, when you only need to accomplish one.
是嗎? Yeah?
你還記得嗎? Can you remember that?
有時候一個人必須敢於雄心勃勃。 Sometimes a man has to dare to be ambitious.
比如，我要一邊抽煙…… For instance, I'm about to smoke...
一邊尿尿。 and piss... at the same time.
——啊。——是的。 - Ugh. - Yes.
我覺得你應該繼續你年輕時的胡言亂語。 And I think you should stick to your young adult bullshite that you keep churning out.

如果他選擇了書而不是你…他選錯了。 If he chose the book over you... he chose wrong.
我一直想像他一樣。 I always wanted to be just like him.
偉大的約瑟夫·斯坦布裡奇。 The great Joseph Stanbridge.
“你是最棒的，孩子。你是最好的。” "You're the best, kiddo. You're the best."

我是說，不是"在我書上撒尿"的尖銳，而是，當今的文化，男人的"我們要挑釁" I mean, not "pee on my book" edgy, but, no, the culture today, the man's "we be provocative."
鑒於你對肖的所作所為，我覺得你正是我需要的人。 And given what you've done with Shaw, I think you might be just what I need.
