過去簡單式

I accidentally became a meme and this is that story.

我不小心成為了迷因，以下是我成名的故事。

My name is David DeVore, but you may know me as "David After Dentist".

我的名字叫 David DeVore，但你們可能是以「大衛看牙醫」認識我的。

My name is also David DeVore and I'm the dad who recorded the video.

我也叫 David DeVore，我是拍下影片的爸爸。

This all started in 2008. My life was pretty normal, you know, just school, sports, friends, seven-year-old things.

這一切始於 2008 年，原本我的生活很正常，就是上學、運動、朋友，七歲小孩會做的事情。

The reason David had to have the surgery was because he had a condition called hyperdontia, which is just an extra tooth. It's more common than you think. David's was up in this general area, but it was headed toward his sinus cavity and that was gonna cause big problems in his teen years.

David 不得不接受手術的原因是因為他患有一種叫做多牙症的疾病，就是長了多餘的牙齒，這種病其實比你想像中的更常見。David 多長的牙齒長在普遍的地方，但它朝著他的竇腔生長，這在他的青少年時期會引起嚴重問題。

I was pretty nervous because I had never had surgery before. Growing up, I loved watching those crazy ER horror stories. So, that probably didn't help.

我很緊張，因為我以前從來沒有做過手術，長大的時候，我喜歡看那些誇張的急診室恐怖故事，所以，看太多一點幫助也沒有。

The reason I wanted to record is to be able to show David afterwards, you know, his anxiety before and after and how it wasn't so bad.

我之所以錄影是為了能夠在事後給 David 看，給他看看他術前術後的焦慮，還有手術其實沒有那麼可怕。

You know, this surgery was not your typical wisdom tooth being removed. Just the regular laughing gas or nitrous oxide was not gonna cut it, so they had to use ketamine.

這個手術不像拔智齒一樣簡單，只有普通的笑氣或一氧化二氮 (笑氣) 是不會成功的， 所以他們不得不使用氯胺酮 (K 他命)。

And I remembered them telling me to count backwards from 10. I remember thinking, there's no way I'm not gonna make it to one. And then I don't remember getting past eight.

我還記得他們叫我從十往回數，我記得我當時想說我不可能數不到一，但我數到八之後就不記得了。

They took me back into the procedure room and you could just tell David was, he was out of it. I've seen drunk people and that was pretty. He was like, "Hey, Papi." But he kept pointing at three people, you know? I love you, Papi. I love you, Papi. I love you, Papi.

他們把我帶回去手術室，很明顯 David 已經茫了，我看過喝醉的人，跟他情況一樣，他說著：「嗨，老爸。」但他一直指著三個人，對他們說了重複三次：「我愛你，老爸。」

I remember being really blurry. They were just carrying me to the car and being lifted up.

我記得當時真的很模糊，他們把我帶到車子那邊，然後抬上車。

You know, ketamine is a incredibly strong anesthetic.

氯胺酮是一種藥效非常強的麻醉劑。

Is this real life? Why is this happening to me?

這是現實生活嗎？為什麼會發生在我身上？

沒事的，兄弟，坐在你的座位上。

I think he just finally just accepted it that this was his life right now.

我想他最終還是接受了這就是他現在的生活。

After the surgery, I basically got to go home and watch "Star Wars" and eat ice cream. It was a pretty good day, after that first part.

手術後，我就回家看了「星際大戰」還有吃冰淇淋，在手術的部分結束之後，那一天過得很愉快。

I knew I'd captured something. And when we all saw it, we're just dying laughing, rolling on the floor, literally.

我知道我錄下了很有趣的東西，而當我們大家看到的時候，簡直要笑死了，笑到在地板上滾動。

I didn't post the video right away. It was actually a year later.

我沒有馬上上傳影片，其實是一年後才上傳的。

Posting the video was really just more out of convenience to be able to share it more easily with family and friends. I just wasn't thinking anybody was gonna see it, so why not just make it public.

上傳影片其實更多的只是出於方便而已，以便能夠更方便地與家人和朋友分享。我不認為有人會看，那何不直接設公開呢？

Posted it and on a late Friday night, kinda forgot about it.

後來我在週五的深夜上傳了，之後就有點忘記這件事了。

Played golf before the Superbowl, and then we kinda started checking it on Sunday and we had 10,000 views. And we're like okay, what's going on?

後來我在超級盃之前打了高爾夫，然後星期天的時候點開來看看，那時候我們就有一萬個觀看了，當時我們想著：「到底是怎麼回事？」

By the following Wednesday, we were up to somewhere between three and four million. Then, it just started going crazy.

到了下個週三，點閱率已經上升到大概 300 萬到 400 萬之間，之後這支影片就開始瘋傳了。

It was a week and we were in New York for the "Today Show" already, doing interviews, TV shows.

有一個禮拜我們去到紐約參加《今日秀》，接受採訪，上電視節目。

The word meme had like just been coined. I just didn't think much past a lot of people thought the video was funny and they wanted to talk to me about it.

那時候迷因這個詞剛剛被創造出來。當時我沒有多想有很多人覺得這支影片很有趣，而且他們很想跟我討論。

Back in the early YouTube days, the ads partner program was like, it wasn't any communication from YouTube, it was just a little button to click on the side. And I didn't know what that was.

在早期的 YouTube 時代，廣告合作夥伴計劃並不是 YouTube 會前來進行溝通，它只是一個點擊側面的小按鈕，而當時我並不知道那是什麼。

Another YouTuber reached out to me and he basically said, "Dude, you got to click that. It's a good thing." And so I did, but waiting a week probably cost me maybe $10,000.

另一個  YouTuber 找到我，然後跟我說：「哥們，你得按一下那個按鈕，那是個好東西。」於是我就照做了，但等待一個星期大概花了我一萬塊錢。

My life after was oddly pretty normal. Kind of like disaster girl, I kind of have the double life.

我之後的生活出奇地很正常。有點像災難少女那個迷因主角，過著雙面的生活。

Every once in a while I'm asked to be "David After Dentist" for a few minutes.

每隔一段時間，我就會被邀請去演幾分鐘的「大衛看牙醫」。

I have not done any drugs since then. That was definitely enough drugs for me. Reality is hard enough. I don't want to try and tackle about another dimension of understanding the world.

從那時起，我就沒有再吸毒了。對我來說，那時候就吸夠了。現實生活已經很難了，我不想嘗試解決理解世界的另一個維度。

But all in all, "David After Dentist" has been a blessing. And I think my teeth look great.

但總的來說，因「大衛看牙醫」成名算是一種幸運，而且我覺得我的牙齒很好看。
