Sam’s voice: Mommy got sick, and it happened just like that. There was nothing anybody could do. It isn’t fair. There is no reason and if we start asking “why”, we’ll go crazy.
山姆的声音：妈妈病了。事情就是这样的。大家都无能为力。这不公平。没有理由。如果我们总是问“为什么”，我们就会疯了。
Greg’s wife’s voice: Five mintues in the microwave, anyone of them, five minutes and.. done, ready to eat. Do you know how to make juice.
Sam: Microwave. Five mintues.
格雷格的妻子的声音：在微波炉里加热5分钟，就5分钟，一切就都准备好了，可以吃了。你知道怎么做果汁吗？
山姆：微波炉里加热5分钟。
Sam’s colleague: Here, my shrink. Call him.
Sam: “Loss of Spouse Support Group”,”Chicago Cancer Family Network”,”Parents without partners”, “Partners without Parents”. Hug yourself.Hug friend, hug a shrink or work,work hard,work will save you. Work is the only thing that will see you through this. Don’t mind him, he’s jut a guy who’s lost his wife. I think what we really need is “change”.
山姆的同事：嘿，这是我心理医生的号码，给他打个电话。
山姆：“丧偶互助组”，“芝加哥癌症家属网”，“单亲家庭”，“没有父母的伴侣”，拥抱你自己，拥抱朋友，拥抱心理医生或者是工作。努力工作，只有工作才能拯救你。工作是唯一使你能够度过难关的好办法。对他别太在意，他只是刚刚失去他的妻子而已，我认为他真正需要的是 “改变”。
Sam’s colleague: Good idea. Take a couple of weeks off. Get some sun. Take Johah fishing.
Sam: No, a real change. A new city. Some place where every time I got around a corner I don’t think of Maggie.
Sam’s colleague: Where are you going to go?
Sam: I was thinking about Seattle.
山姆的同事：好主意。休息两个星期，晒晒太阳，带乔去钓钓鱼。
山姆：不，我需要的是真正的改变。到一个新的城市去，在那里，无论我走到哪一个角落都不会想起玛姬。
山姆的同事：你打算去哪里？
山姆：我在考虑“西雅图”……
Greg’s wife: Eventually, in a few months, you’ll start seeing women. You’ll meet someone.
Sam: Right,right. Move on. Right. That I’m going to do. And then, in a few months “Boom”.I’ll just grow a new heart.
Greg’s wife: Sam, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.
Sa: I know. I know. Look, it just doesn’t happen twice.
格雷格的妻子：几个月后，你最终会结识女人的。你会碰到某个人。
山姆：是的，每错。继续前进。我就是打算这样做的。几个月之后，“轰隆”一声，我就是一个“全新的我”了。
格雷格的妻子：对不起，山姆，我不是这个意思。
山姆：我知道。我知道。看吧，再不会有第二次了。

An: Well, It’ s silly really. Um, I’ d seen him at the office. Obviously I’ d seen him, he’ s the associate publisher. And then one day, we both ordered sandwiches from the same place and he got my lettuce-and tomato on whole wheat which of course he was allergic to, and I got his lettuce and tomato on white.
安：嗯，说起来挺可笑的。我在办公室里见过他。我以前是见过他。他是副社长。然后有一天，我们在同一家快餐店都订了三明治，结果他拿了我那份生菜加西红柿的小麦面包，当然他过敏了；我却拿了他那份生菜加西红柿的白面包。
Ba: How amazing!

安：妈妈，命运这东西是我们造出来的，因为我们无法忍受万事充满偶然这样一个事实。
Ba: Then how do you explain that you both ordered exactly the same Sandwich, except for the bread? How many people in this world like lettuce and tomato, without something else like tuna?
芭：那你如何解释为什么除了面包之外，你们俩都点了同样的三明治？这个世界上会有多少人喜欢生菜加西红柿，而不喜欢金枪鱼什么的？
An: Well, it wasn’ t a sign. It was a coincidence.
安：这不是什么征兆，只是巧合而已。
Ba: I was I Atlantic city with my family. Cliff was a waiter. He wasn’ t even supposed to work that night, and suppose he hadn’ t . He asked me take a midnight walk on the steel pier, I’ ve probably told you this a million times, but I don’ t care. And he held my hand. At one point I looked down and I couldn’ t tell which fingers were his and which were mine, and I knew...
芭：当年我在大西洋城和家人在一起。克里夫是个待者。其实他那天本不该上班。而他要是真的没有上班的话，现在会是什么样呢？他请我半夜到码头去散步。这我可能已经告诉你上万遍了，不过我还是要说。他挽着我的手。我低头时分不清哪些是他的手指，哪些是我的，于是我知道了……
An: What?
安：什么？
Ba: You know.
芭；你知道的。
An: What?
安：是什么嘛？
Ba: Magic. It was magic.
芭：魔力。那就是魔力。
An: Magic?
安：魔力？
Ba: I knew we’ d be together forever, and that everything would be wonderful, just the way you feel about Walter. Walter, it’ s quite a formal name, isn’ t it. One of the things I truly knew was that your father and I were going to have a wonderful time in... the “sack”, I believe you call it.
芭：我知道我们会永远在一起，一切都会很美好。就象你对华尔德的感觉一样。华尔德是个挺正统的名字，不是吗？有一件事我清楚明白，那就是我和你爸爸会非常快乐，在……你们称的“床上”。
An: Mom!
安：妈妈！
Ba: Of course it took several years before everything worked like clockwork in that department, so don’ t be worried if it takes a while.
芭：当然，要一切如时钟那样走得顺利，还需要一段时间。所以如果真的有这么一段时间，不要太担心。
An: Well, we already...
安：嗯，其实我们已经……
Ba: Fine, fine. Fiddle•dee•dee. How’ s it working?
芭：好的，好的，算我说错了。那怎么样？
An: Like ... clockwork.
安：像……时钟一样运转。
Ba: Oh! Honey.
芭：哦，亲爱的。
An: It’ s a sign.
安：这是一种好征兆的。
Ba: You don’ t believe in signs.
芭：可你又不相信征兆的。
An: (to Walter) They love you. I told you they would love you and they loved you.
安：（对华尔德）他们喜欢你。我说过他们会喜欢你的，而且他们已经喜欢你了。
Wa: I love you
华：我爱人你。
An: I love you, Walter. Did anyone call you anything other than “Walter” ?
安：我也爱你，华尔德。除了“华尔德”，你还有什么称呼吗？
Wa: No.
华：没有了。
An: Not even when you were young?
安：连你小时候也没有？
Wa: No. Not even when I was young. You’ re sure you don’ t want to drive with me?
华：没有，小时候也没有。你真的不想和我一块儿开车去吗？
An: How will I get back to Baltimore on Friday... Oh, I forgot the present. Walter, I left your step-mother’ s present in side by accident. I swear, when we’ re old and gray you’ re going to have to remind me to put my teeth in. I’ ll be walking all over town smacking my gums together and not even noticing.
安：那我星期五怎样从巴尔的摩回来呢……哦，我把礼物给忘了，华尔德，我把你继母的礼物落在里面了。我敢说，当我们老态龙钟的时候，你要提醒我把假牙装到嘴里，不然我就会扁着嘴到处跑的。
Wa: I ‘ ll wait.
华：我等你。
An: Oh, right. No, don’ t wait, Walter. It’ s silly. You go ahead. We’ re late anyway. I’ ll be ten minutes behind you.
安：哦，好的。不，别等我了，华尔德。我真傻。你先走吧，反正我们也迟到了。我会在你十分钟后赶到。

山：你当然可以。
Dr: But something must be missing if Jonah still feels you’ re under a cloud. Now just a few questions. Are you sleeping at night? Now just a few questions. Are you sleeping at night?

Jo: I live here, dad.

Dr: Could it be that you need someone just as much as Jonah does?
玛：会不会是你和乔那一样需要有个人来帮助？
An: Yes.
安：是的。
Dr: Don’ t answer that. Let’ s get into that right after these messages. Sam? Jonah? Don’ t go away. (to listeners) If you’ ve just tuned in, we’ re talking to “Sleepless in Seattle”. And we’ ll be right back, after this break, with# our listener response.
玛：你不用回答。让我们广告之后再谈。山姆，乔那，别挂机。（对听众）如果你刚刚打开收音机，听到的是我们与“西雅图失眠先生”的对话。广告之后我们很快会回来，听一下听众的意见。

Waitress1: I bet he’ s tall with a cute butt.
侍女1：我敢说他一定是个高大的男人，还有一个性感的臀部。
Waitress2: I bet he hasn’ t bathed in weeks and he stinks.
侍女2：我打赌他有几个星期没洗澡，全身臭烘烘的。
Waitress1: Harriet, shut up. (to Annie) Hi, can I help you?
侍女1：别说了，哈丽叶，（对安妮）你好，您想要点儿什么？
An: Tea, with the bag out.
安：茶，带走喝。
Waitress1: You know, maybe I’ ll just hustle myself out to Seattle and give him a little gift for New Year Eve.
侍女1：你知道吗，可能我会赶到西雅图去给他一份新年的小礼物。
Waitress2: Yeah, you go on out there if you want to, but don’ t open the re-frigerator. They don’ t cover anything when they put it in the fridge, they just stick it in there and leave it’ #til if it walks out itself.
侍女2： 是的，想去就去吧。但是不要打开他的冰箱，他们这些人把东西放进去之后就不理了，等着食物自己跑出来。
Waitress1: What I’ m saying is I wouldn’ t kick this guy out of my bed for eating crackers. (to Annie) 65 cents.
侍女1：我说我才不会因为一点小事就不管他了。（对安妮）6角5分。
(Dr. Marsha’ s voice from the fadio.)
（玛莎医生的声音又从收音机里传出。）
Dr: Let’ s take a call before we get back to “ Sleepless” Knoxville, Tennessee, you’ re on the air, talk to me.
玛：在和失眠先生谈话前让我们先接个电话，一位来自田纳西诺克城的女士。你的电话已经接通了，请说。一块儿的时候，就会发现我们俩应。
Woman: Yes, I would just like to know where I can get this man’ s address.
女士：是的，我只是想知道这位先生的地址。
Waitress1: (to Waitress 2) Honey, get in line.
侍女1：（对侍女2）亲爱的，排队等待吧。
(Annie goes on driving car, turning on the radio.)
（安妮驾车继续上路，她打开收音机。）
Dr: (to colleague) Next call, go ahead, open.... (to Sam) If there was one question I was allowed to ask...
玛：（对工作人员）下一位，继续，接通……（对山姆）如果我可以问个问题的话……
Sa: Oh, go ahead.
山：哦，说吧。
Dr: People who have truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there’ s someone out there that you could love as much as your wife?
玛：曾经真心爱过的人更有可能再次恋爱。山姆，你认为你会像爱妻子那样再爱另一个人吗？
Sa: Well, Dr, Marsha Fieldstone, that’ s hard to imagine.
山：嗯，玛莎•菲德斯通医生，很难想像会现这样的情况。
Dr: What are you going to do?
玛：那你打算做些什么呢？
Sa: Well, I’ m going to get out of bed every morning, and breathe in and out all day long. And then after a while, I won’ t have to remind myself to get out of bed in the morning and breathe in and out. And then after a while, I won’ t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
山：嗯，我每天早上都会起床，煞后整天专注于呼气吸气。过些时日，我也就不用再提醒自己早上起床呼气吸气了。再过些时日，就不会再去想我曾经拥有的快乐时光了。
Dr: Sam, tell me what was so special about your wife?
玛：山姆，告诉我你妻子有什么特别之处。
Sa: How long is your program? Oh, well, it was million tiny little things, and where you add them all up, it just meant that we were supposed to be together. And I knew it. I knew it the first time I touched her. It was like coming home. Only to no home I’ d ever known. I was just taking her hand, to help her out of a car, and I knew it. It was like...
山：你的节目有多长？这么说吧，当你把我许多细小的方面合在该结合在一起。我第一次与她接触时就清楚这一点。这就象回到家一样，只不过是一个从未去过的家，当我挽着她的手，扶她下车，我就有这种感觉了。这就像……
Sa & An: ... magic.
山姆和安妮：……魔力。
Dr: Well folks, it’ s time to wrap it up. I’ m Dr. Marsha Fieldstone in Chicago, and to all my listeners, a magical and merry Christmas. And to you, “Sleepless in Seattle”, we hope you’ll call again soon and let us know how it’ s going .
玛；好了，朋友们，节目结束的时间到了，我是芝加哥的玛莎医生，我想对所有听众朋友们说，祝你过一个神奇的，快乐的圣诞节。我也同样祝福你： “西雅图失眠先生”，我们希望你能再打电话来告诉我们有什么进展。
Sa: Oh, you count on it.
山：哦，我一定会打的。
Annie’ s colleague1: This man sells the greatest soup you’ ve ever eaten, and he is the meanest man in America. I feel very strongly about this, Becky, it’ s not just about soup.
安妮的同事1：这个人卖的汤最好喝，不过他也是全美国最吝啬的人。对于这一点我感觉特别强烈，贝姬，这不仅仅是汤的问题。
Becky: Do it. What else?
贝姬：那么，还有什么？
Annie’ s colleague2: New Year’ s Eve. Please don’ t make me write it.
安妮的同事2：都除夕夜了，别让我写稿了。
Be: Listen to this: Phone service in the greater Chicago area was tied up for two hours Christmas Eve when some kid calls a phonon radio show and says his dad needs a new wife. 2000 women called the station asking for the guy’ s number.
贝：听我说：在平安夜有个小孩给电台热线节目打电话，说他爸爸需要一个新妻子，致使芝加哥地区的整个电话业务忙了两个小时，有2000名妇女打电话给电台询问这个人的号码。
Colleague2: Jesus!
同事2：天啊！
Annie: I heard it. The kid calls up and says, “My dad needs a wife.” And the shrink practically forces the guy onto the phone and says,” Do you want to talk about it?” And he says, “No, as a matter of fact I don’ t . And then suddenly, for no reason at all, he starts to talk about how much he loved his wife and how he just fell in love with her like he was one of those cows in Michigan.
安：我听说了，那个孩子打电话说，“我爸爸需要一个妻子。”接着那位心理医生和往常一样迫使那个男人接电话，并对他说“你想谈谈吗？”那个男的说，“不，说实话我不想谈。”后来突然，不知怎么回事，他开始讲他如何爱他委子，又是如何坠入爱河的。听起来他就像只密歇根奶牛。
Be: What cows in Michigan?
贝：什么密歇根奶牛？
An: it was on “60-Minutes”. There were those cows that go zapped by stray voltage and no one knows why, and maybe it was Wisconsin. But, any-way, I was listening to him talk about how much he loved his wife and suddenly I was crying. It’ s like what happens when I watch those phone company ads. I don’ t have to see the whole thing, just the part where the daughter gives the mother the refrigerator with the big red bow on it.
安：是“60分钟时事杂志”说的，可能是在威斯康星州吧。那些奶牛被泄漏的电击中了，没有人知道为什么。不过，我一直在听他说如何爱他的妻子，忽然我也哭了。就像我看那些电话公司广告一样，我没有全看，就看了女儿把打有大红蝴蝶结的冰箱送给母亲那部分。
Be: Yes. And the Polaroid commercial: two five-year-olds at their grandfather’ s birth-day party. That kills me. You should write something about this.
贝：对，还有那个太阳镜广告：两个五岁的孩子为爷爷过生日。真让我受不了。你应该写写这些。
An: About what?
安：写什么？
Be: Whatever it is.
贝：什么都行。
Colleague 1: I’ ll tell you what it is: Two thousand women calling a radio station looking for a husband. There are a lot of desperate women out there looking for love.
同事1：我来告诉你写什么，两千个妇女打电话电台找丈夫。许多如饥似渴的女人在寻找爱情。
Colleague2: Especially over a creating.
同事2：特别是过了某个年龄段的。
Colleague 1: You know it’ s easier to be killed by terrorists than it is to get married over the age of forty.
同事1：被恐怖分子杀死和过了40岁想结婚，两者比较，前者更容易。
An: That’ s not true. That statistic is not true.
安：这不是事实，那个统计数字不是真的。
Be: That’s right, it’ s not true... But it feels true.
贝：没错，这不是事实……不过这感觉象是真的。
Colleague: It feels true because it is true.
同事2：感觉象真的是因为这就是真的。
Be: It strikes me a whole book about how that statistic is not true.
贝：我记得专门有一本关于统计结果不实的书。
Colleague2: Calm down. You brought it up.
同事2：别激动。是你先提这件事的。
An: I did not! Wyatt, do you even read that book?
安：我没有！怀亚特，你读过那本书吗？
Wyatt (colleague2): Did anybody read that book all the way through?
怀亚特（同事2）：会有人把那本书从头读到尾吗？
Be: Are you two finished? Fine, now where are we?
贝：你们两个说完了没有？好了，我们讲哪儿了？
An: If someone is a widower, why do they say that he was “widowed”? why don’t they say that he was “widowered” ? (No one answers) I was just wondering.
安：如果有个人是鳏夫，为什么人们说他失去配偶？而不说他失去妻子？（没有人回答）我只是有点搞不懂。
（in the street）
（在街上）
Be: What was that about up there?
贝：那是怎么一回事？
An: What was what?
安：什么“怎么一回事”？
Be: What’ s with you?
贝：你在想什么？
An: Nothings with me.
安：没有啊。
Be: Something’ s with you.
贝：你一定在想什么。
An: What are you saying?
安：你说什么？
Be: Whatever it is, you can tell me.
贝：什么都好，你告诉我。
(at a restaurant)
（在餐厅里）
Be: “Sleepless in Seattle”?
贝：“西雅图失眠先生”？
An: That’ s what she called him at the show because he can’ t sleep.
安：她在节目中这样称呼他，因为他睡不着。
Be: And now 2000 women want his number. The guy could be a cracked, a transvestite, a flasher, a junkie, a chain-saw murder or someone really sick, Someone, like my Rick.
贝：现在有2000位女士想要他的电话号码。那家伙可能是瘾君子，易装癖者，暴露狂，吸毒者，电锯杀人犯，或者干脆就是就是有病，就象我的男友克一样。
An: Actually, he sounded nice.
安：事实上，他的声音听起来不谈谈他了。
An: Please, Becky. I’ m madly in love with Walter. He did the craziest thing the other night.
安：别这样，贝姬。我深爱着华尔德，他那天晚上做了最疯狂的事。
Be: What was that?
贝：什么事？
An: Oh, It’ s was so funny, we were hysterical, what was that?... huh...
安：很有趣，我闪都歇斯底里了，是什么事来着？……嗯……
[Walter and Annie are dancing at a New Year’ s Eve party.]
（华尔德和安妮在新年晚会上跳舞。）
Walter: You know, I’ m thinking, I’ ve got to go up to Boston for the AAB convention, and then I gotta visit Winston Hughs about switching over our computer. Why don’ s Day weekend?
华：你知道，我想我得去波士顿参加AAB大会，然后要去找温斯顿•休斯谈换电脑的事，我们何不在情人节那个周未在纽约见呢？
An: Walter, I’ d love to!
安：好啊，华尔德。
Wa: We can stay to the Plaza...
华：我们可以往在广场大酒店……
An: Ice skate in Central Park.
安：在中央公园滑冰。
Wa: Register.
华：注册。
An: Register?
安：注册？
Wa: For dishes, glasses, silver, everything. How about it?
华：就是买碟子啦，杯子啦、银器啦，所有一切。好不好？
An: I’ ll take you to Chinatown for dim sum.
安：我还可以带你去唐人街品尝小吃。
Wa: Does it have wheat in it?
华：小吃里有没有放小麦？
An: I don’ t think so.
安：应该没有吧。
（The people’ s count-down shows the New Year’ s coming. Meanwhile, is Sam’ s house, Jonah’ s sleeping on the couch.）
（众人在倒计时，新年到了。与此同时，在山姆的家里，乔那睡在了长椅上。）
Sam: Wake up, wake up. Oh, there you go. (carrying Jonah to his room)
山：醒醒，醒醒。哦，起来吧。（把乔那抬到屋里）
Jonah: Happy New Year.
乔：新年快乐。
Sa: Happy New Year.
山：新年快乐。
Jo: Kiss Howard. (the doll bear of Johnah’ s)
乔：亲亲何尔德（乔那的玩具熊）。
Sa: Good night, Howard.
山：晚安何尔德。
[Sam is in a dream, seeing Maggic.]
（山姆在睡梦中见到了玛吉。）
Maggic: Can I have half your beer?
玛克：我喝半杯啤洒可以吗？
Sa: Sure, go ahead.
山：当然可以，喝吧。
Maggic: What did I use to say? “Here’ s looking at you”? “Here’ s mud in your eye”.
玛吉：我以前经常怎么说来着？“就在这里看着你”？“你的眼没洗干净”？
Sa: “Here’ s to us”. You used to say “Here’ s to us”. Oh, I’ m afraid I miss you too much. It hurts.
山：“为我们干杯”。你常说“为我们干杯”。哦，我真太想你了。我很痛苦。
(in Clair’ s house)
（在克莱尔家里）
Clair: (cl for short) Sam, I’ m so glad you’ re here. I heard you on the radio. I told everyone about it. I was brushing my teeth and suddenly there you were! I just couldn’ t believe my ears. I called my mother in Las Vegas. I said “Mother, turn on the radio. That’ s my architect.” You know, it’ s so nice when a man can express his feelings.
克莱尔（简称克）：山姆，我很高兴你能来。我在收音机里是听到你的声音，我给大家讲了你的事情。当时我正在刷牙，忽然听到你在讲话！我真不敢相信我的耳朵。我打电话给在拉斯维加斯的妈妈，跟她说：“妈妈，快打开收音机，我们的建筑在说话。”你知道吗，当一个男人能流露真情时有多感人。
Sam’ s workmate2: It’ s wonderful. I wish I could express my feelings.
山的工友2：那真棒。我倒希望我能尽叙真情。
Sa: So, Clair, is there a problem?
山：克莱尔，有什么问题吗？
Cl: I was just tossing and turning last night. You know what that’ s like, Sam. Because I realized I’ m just never going to fit my platters in that refrigerator we ordered, and when I give parties, Ialways put it platters, so I thought I would get the sub-zero refrigerator instead. The only problem is...
克：我昨天整晚翻来覆去睡不着。你知道这有多难受吗，山姆？原因是大浅盘放不进我们订购的那台冰箱。我在开晚会时，总是用大浅盘放在东西的。所以我想换个低冷冰箱。唯一的问题就是……
Workmate 2,3: We redo all the cabinets.
工友2、3： 我们要重做所有的格子。
Sa: (after messuring) Pull in this wall.
山：（经过度量）得嵌进墙壁。
Workmate2: That’ s the bear wall.

Sa: (to Clair) That’ a delay, Clair, of two, three...
山：克莱尔，那会拖慢二、三……
Workmate3: Five, six...
工友3：五、六……
Workmate2: Twelve weeks.
工友2：十二个星期。
Cl: I don’ t mind. The important thing is to get it right.
克：我不介意，重要的是一定要弄好。
Sa: Absolutely.
山：说得没错。
Cl: Won’ t worry... I got a rush...
克：别着急……我有个紧急……
（away）
（走了）
Workmate2: Well, this is fate. She’ s divorced, we don’ t want to redo the cabinets and you need a wife. What do they call that when everything intersects?
工友2：看到了吧，这就是命运。她离婚了，我们不想重做格子而你需要一位妻子。当这些事情掺在一块儿时叫什么来着？
Sa: The Bermuda Triandle.
山：百慕大三角。
[Sam is heading back home and the postman delivers the mail. It’ s raining.]
（山姆在回家的路上，邮递员送来邮件。天在下雨。）
Postman: (to Jonah) There’ s another one. Do you have room for one more in here... Hey, don’ t ... got it right, child.
邮递员（简称邮）：还有一份。你这里还能装得下吗……嘿，别……拿好了，孩子。
Jonah: (to Sam) Look at this, dad, they’ re all for you.
乔：（对山姆）爸爸你看，都是给你的。
Postman: Yes, sir, Here you go.
邮：是的，先生，这还有。
Sam: “Sleepless in Seattle” care of Dr. Marsha Fieldstone.
山：玛莎医生转闪“西雅图失眠先生”。
Postman: If you’ re having trouble sleeping you might want to try to drink a glass of water to the other side.
邮：如果你睡不着觉，你可以低头喝杯水。
Jo: I thought that was for hiccups?
乔：我想那对打嗝有用。
Postman: Won’ t for hiccups.
邮递员：对打嗝没用。
Jo: For hiccups, that’ s a spoonful of sugar and hold it in it for a minute.
乔：对付打嗝是把一勺子白糖拿在手上保持一分钟。
Postman: Really?
（在屋里）
Sa: What possessed you to give them our address?
山：你为什么把我们的地址给他们？
Jo: They called and asked for it? (reading the letter) “Dear Sleepless in Seattle, you’ re the most attractive man I have ever laid ears on.”
乔：他们打电话来问的。（读信）“亲爱的西雅图失眠先生，您是我所听到过的最迷人的男士。”
Sa: Wait, wait, wait. They called? How did they get our number? Oh, let me guess. You gave it them.
山：等一等，等一等。他们打电话来了？他们怎么拿到号码的？哦，让我猜猜。是你给他们的。
Jo: You have to give them your phone number or they won’ t let you on the air, (reading the letter) “Dear’ Sleepless in Seattle’, I lived in Tulas.” Where’ s that?
乔：你一定要告诉他们号码，不然电台就不给你接通。（读信）“亲爱的‘西雅图失眠先生’，我住在塔尔萨。”那在哪儿？
Sa: It’ s in Oklahoma. Do you know where Oklahoman is?
山：在俄克拉何马州。你知道俄州在哪儿吗？
Jo: Somewhere in the middle?
乔：在中部的某个地方吧？
Sa: I’ not even going to think about what they’ re not teaching you in school. I’ m not going to think about it. Yeah, it’ s somewhere in the middle and generally speaking. I think we should rule out anyone that doesn’ t live near here.
山：我真不敢想像他们在学校都教了你什么。我真不敢想像。没错，是在中部的某个地方，但总的来说，我想我们不用考虑住得太远的人了吧。
Jo: She’ s willing to fly anywhere.
乔：可她愿意坐飞机啊。
Sa: Well she looks like my third grade teacher and I hated my third grade teacher. Wait a minute, she is my third grade teacher!
山：啊，她看起来象我三年级的老师，我很厌恶我三年级的老师。等等，她就是我三年级的老师！
Jo: Aren’ t you going to read any of these?
乔：这些信你都不看了吗？
Sa: No, because this is not how it’s done. I’ d much rather just see somebody that I like, and get a feeling about them, and asking them if they’ d want to have a drink or...
山：不看了，因为我不想这样选妻子。我宁愿去结识我喜欢的人，培养一下感情，然后问他们是否想和我一块儿喝一杯或者……
Jo: ... or a slice of pizza?
乔：……或者来一片比萨饼？
Sa: Not dinner. Not necessarily on the first date because halfway through dinner, you could be really sorry you asked them to dinner, where if it’ s just a drink, if you like them you can always ask them to dinner, but if not you can just say, “Well, that was great.” And then you go home. See what I mean? I wonder if it still works this way.
山：不要请吃饭。第一次约会不必请人家吃饭。因为可能吃到一半你就会后悔不该请他们吃饭的。如果只是请他们喝一杯，如果你喜欢就可以继续请吃饭，如果不喜欢，你就可以说“今天过得挺不错”，然后就回家了。你明白了吧？我只是不知道现在还能不能行得通。
Jo: It’ s doesn’ t. They ask you.
乔：行不通了。她们会请你吃饭。
Sa: I’ m starting to notice that.
山：这点我也注意到了。
Jo: If she gets you a wife, I guess you’ ll have sex with her, huh?
乔：如果你有了位新妻子，我想你会和她做爱的，是吗？
Sa: I certainly hope so.
山：我当然想了。
Jo: Will she scratch up your back?
乔：她会抓你的背吗？
Sa: What?
山：什么？
Jo: In the movies, women are always scratching up the men’ s back and screaming and stuff when they’ re having sex.
乔：在电影里，当他们做爱时，女的总是抓着男人的背大声尖叫，都要窒息了。
Sa: How do you know this?
山：你怎么知道的？
Jo: Jes’ s ... got cable.
乔：杰茜卡家里有有线电视。
Sa: Oh, Jessica’ s ... Hand me that towel behind you, would you? Thank you.
山：哦，杰茜卡家里有……把你身后的毛巾递给我，谢谢。
Jo: I need it too.
乔：我也要。
Sa: Here let me get you... She’ s got cable... come on.
山：来，让我帮你……她有有线电视……来吧。

Woman: Every time I come close to orgasm, he goes to make himself a sandwich.
女士：每次我到高潮时，他总是走开去给自己做块三明治。
Dr: Why don’t you make him a sandwich beforehand?
玛：你为什么事先不为他准备好三明治呢？
Voice: “Sleepless in ?Seattle”
声音：“西雅图失眠先生”
Sam: Well I’ m going to get out of bed every morning breathe in and out all day long, and then, after a while, I won’ t have to remind myself to get out of bed in the morning and breathe in and out. And then after a while, I won’ t have to think about how I had great and perfect for a while.
山：嗯，我每天早上都会起床，煞后整天专注于呼气吸气。过些时日，我也就不用再提醒自己早上起床呼气吸气了。再过些时日，就不会再去想我曾经拥有的快乐时光了。
Dr: Sam, tell me what was so special about your wife.
玛：山姆，告诉我你妻子有什么特别之处？
Sa: How long is your program? Oh, well, it was a million tiny little things and when you add them up, it just meant that we were supposed to be together, that’ s all. And I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It’ s like coming home. Only to no home I’ d ever known. I was just taking her hand, to help her out of a car. And I knew it. It was like... Magic.
山：你的节目有多长？这样说吧，当你把许多细小的方面合在一块儿的时候，就会发现我们两应该结合在一起。我第一次与她接触时就清楚这一点。这就好象回到家一样，只不过是一个我未到过的家。当我挽着她的手扶她下车时，我就有这种感觉了，这就像……魔力。

丹尼斯：什么？
An: I mean, why did you get married? Was it all trumpets and fireworks and...
安：我是说，你为什么结婚？你们之间有激起火花吗？
Dn: I got married because Betsy said we had to break up or get married, so we got married.
丹：我结婚是因为贝姬说，我们要么分手、要么结合，我们选择了结合。
An: But when you first met her, did you believe that she was the only person for you, that in some mystical, cosmic way, it was fated?
安：但当你第一次见到她时，你主伙她就是你的唯一吗？是不是在冥冥中已经注定了？
Dn: Annie, when you’ re attracted to someone, it just means that your subconscious is attracted to their subconscious, subconsciously. So what we think of as fate is just two neuroses knowing they’ re a perfect match.
丹：安妮，当你被某个人吸引时，就意味着你的潜意识被她的潜意识不经意地吸引了。所以我们说的命运就是两组神经知道它们是完美的一对。
An: I don’ t even know him. I am having all these fantasies about some man I have never even met who lives is Seattle.
安：我甚至不认识他。我正在对一位住西雅图的我从未见过的男人产生了感觉。
Dn: It rains nine months of the year in Seattle.
丹：在西雅图，一年有九个月下雨。
An: I know. I know. I do not want to move to Seattle. But what I really don’ t want to do is end up always wondering what might have happened and knowing I could have done something. What do you think? It’ s just cold feet isn’ t it? Everybody panics before they get married. I mean, didn’ t you?
安：我知道。我不想搬到西雅图去。只不过我还想知道发生了些什么，还想知道我能做些什么时，我不想这一切这么早结束。你怎么想的？临阵退缩？每个人在结婚前都有些心神不定，你是不是这样？
Dn: Yes, I did.
丹：的确，我也是。
An: Yes, you did. Thank you. Dennis, I feel so much better having just blown this off.
安：其实你也是。谢谢你，丹尼斯。把这些话都说出来我感觉好多了。
Dn: Anytime.

山：不，不。我不是想叫你替我安排。那不是…我不想叫你帮我那忙。我只是想知道单身世界是…怎么样的。
Workmate2: That’ s what I’ m trying to tell you. What women are looking for pecks and a cute butt.
工友2：这就是我要告诉你的。女人想要的是发达的胸肌和漂亮的臀部。
Sa: You mean like “He has the cutest butt” ? Where did I hear that recently?
山：你是说“他有最美臀部”。我最近从哪儿听到来着？
Workmate2: Everywhere. I mean, you can’ t even turn to the news nowadays without hearing about how some babe thought some guy’ s butt was cute. Who was the first woman to say this, I don’ t know, but somehow, it caught on.

Sam: Jimmy Carter, 1987.
山：1987年，吉米•卡特当政时。
Workmate2: Things are a little different now. First you have to be friends. You have to like each other. Then you neck, This could keep on for years. Then you have tests. Then you get to do it with a condom. The good news is you split the check.
工友2：现在情况不同了。你们得先成为朋友，得相互喜欢。然后才亲吻。这样可能持续很多年。然后你要验血。然后才是做些用得上安全套的事情。好消息是你们会各自付账。
Sa: I don’ t think I could let a woman pay for dinner.

工友2你可以打电话给她呀。你说，“来，我们一起去看看‘斯沃奇’手表吧”。
Workmate2: Yeah, you know. Color schemes.
工友2没错，就随便找个借口。
Sa: She’ s not going to see right through that?
山：她不会马上看穿我吧？
Workmate2: You don’ t do it like I do it. You do it in your own suave way. Think Carey Grant.
工友2：你别照念嘛，你要有你自己讨好人的法子。想想加利•格兰特。
Sa: Carey Grant would call up and say, “Come over and look at my Swatches.” ? “Come over and look at my Swatches.”?
山：加利•格兰特会打电话说“过来看看我的‘斯沃奇斯’表”吗？
Workmate2: How do you know? Maybe he did?
工友2：你怎么知道不是呢？他可能就是这样说的。
Sa: “Gunga-din”? Did he do it in “Gunga-din”?
山：《英雄泪》？他是不是在电影《英雄泪》里讲过？
