A few months ago, Sean Daly, 18, a hot college prospect, had a brilliant future.

幾個月前，18 歲的肖恩-戴利（Sean Daly）還是一名炙手可熱的大學生，前途一片光明。

Cut to last night.

If they cancel my scholarship, it's like my life is over.

如果他們取消我的獎學金，我的人生就完了。

I'm dead.

Yeah, right, Sean.

是啊，沒錯，肖恩。

You're 18, you're in perfect health, you maybe blow a scholarship and you think you're dead.

你 18 歲，身體健康，也許還拿過獎學金，你以為自己死定了。

Got your whole life left to screw up in, you stupid idiot.

你還有大把時間可以浪費，你個蠢貨。

On his way home from yet another night of toasting his success, Sean crashed his brand-new GTO Jockmobile into an innocent tree.

又是一個慶祝成功的夜晚，在回家的路上，肖恩把他那輛嶄新的 GTO Jockmobile 撞到了一棵無辜的樹上。

Sean, who managed to squeak past his SATs, had no such luck with his drug and alcohol.

肖恩在 SAT 考試中勉強過關，但在吸毒和酗酒方面就沒那麼幸運了。

With no Daly deadlines, no Janine, I had lots of time on my hands.

沒有戴利的最後期限，沒有簡妮，我有大把的時間。

I thought of Maury counting his breaths, what time meant to him.

我想起莫里數著呼吸，時間對他意味著什麼。

Work, money, ambition.

We all need teachers, Mitch.

我們都需要老師，米奇。

Why'd you become a teacher?

You think there's only one reason why we do things?

In a way, because of my father.

從某種程度上說，是因為我的父親。

Your father?

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would encourage you.

He didn't.

I'd hear him complain to my stepmother, you know, how he was cursed at, belittled, always pushed to do more and denied the money he had coming.

我聽到他向我的繼母抱怨，你知道，他是如何被詛咒、被輕視，總是被催促做更多的事情，並被剝奪了他應得的錢。

That was my father's world.

It was gonna be my world, too, except I found out something that day.

這也將是我的世界，只是那天我發現了一件事。

Did you do anything but that?

除了這些，你還做了什麼嗎？

Something else.

還有別的。

It's when I learned I had asthma.

那時我才知道自己得了哮喘。

Of course, they thought I was just a crybaby, that I was scared.

當然，他們以為我只是個愛哭鬼，以為我害怕了。

Well, they were right about my being scared, but there was something else.

他們說我害怕是對的，但還有別的原因。

I made a vow that I would never do work that used people, that hurt them and degraded them.

我發過誓，絕不做利用人、傷害人、貶低人的工作。

I was never gonna make money off the sweat and pain of others.

我永遠不會靠別人的汗水和痛苦賺錢。

So, in a way, you owe your father.

My stepmother, Eva, she was just the opposite.

The tension of opposites.

對立面的張力

Life pulling you back and forth like a rubber band.

生活像橡皮筋一樣來回拉扯著你。

Sounds like a wrestling match.

I mean, if you looked at the news lately, love's not exactly racking up the gold medals out there.

我的意思是，如果你看看最近的新聞，愛情並沒有在外面獲得多少金牌。

Maybe the game isn't over yet.

也許遊戲還沒有結束。

What, are we through?

什麼，我們結束了嗎？

Coach, can I talk to you for a second, just as a friend?

教練，我能以朋友的身份跟你說幾句話嗎？

That's the way we always talk.

我們總是這樣說話的。

Now, why'd you stop the tape?

And believe me, I know what a selfish jerk I can be, especially with my time.

It's about this fear that I had of not just giving love, but receiving it, and of being part of something that isn't just all about me.

這是關於我的恐懼，我不僅害怕付出愛，也害怕接受愛，害怕成為不只是我自己的一部分。

And, um, you know, living for somebody else and, uh, learning to give, and, um...

還有，嗯，你知道，為別人而活，嗯，學會付出，嗯...

She didn't like the ring?

她不喜歡戒指？

Well, I never even got to give it to her.

我甚至都沒來得及給她。

But you love each other.
