過去簡單式

When I left school I did a course on hotel management.

離開學校後，我學習了酒店管理課程。

I nearly got thrown off it because I was caught riding on the cleaning machines down the corridor when we did the housekeeping.

我差點被趕下飛機，因為在走廊上打掃衛生時，我騎在清潔機器上被抓了個正著。

After that I went and worked for solicitors.

之後，我去了律師事務所工作。

My late dad, I remember him saying to me once, Joe, you're like a butterfly.

我已故的父親，我記得他曾對我說，喬，你就像一隻蝴蝶。

He said, well, you go from one thing to another.

他說，好吧，你從一件事到另一件事。

When are you going to actually settle on something?

I just thought I was rubbish at a lot of things.

我只是覺得自己在很多事情上都很糟糕。

I thought that just, I was forgetful and that was, I was a bad person.

我以為我只是健忘，是個壞人。

I tried medication and that worked and then things started to sort of calm down.

我嘗試了藥物治療，這起了作用，然後事情開始平靜下來。

I'm still quite angry about a lot of things.

I'm angry about what I could have maybe been.

我為自己本可以成為什麼樣的人而感到憤怒。

I remember my mum and dad being called in to see the headmaster and him saying, Joe could absolutely achieve, but she just needs to concentrate and get on with it.

我記得爸爸媽媽被叫去見校長，校長說，喬絕對能行，但她需要集中精力，繼續努力。

So I do feel really sad for that girl now.

所以，我現在真的為那個女孩感到難過。

Back in the seventies, I've never heard of ADHD.

七十年代的時候，我從來沒聽說過多動症。

Headteacher said she could absolutely achieve.

我為自己本可以成為的樣子感到悲哀。

That panic and that guilt and that worry.

49 年來，我一直覺得自己是個壞人。

Even though there's no one to blame, doesn't mean I can't feel angry about it.

儘管沒有人應該受到責備，但這並不意味著我不能為此感到憤怒。

I want to let myself shine, but I'm still working it all out.

我想讓自己發光發熱，但我還在努力中。

Give me time, some understanding, and I'll get there.

給我點時間，給我點理解，我會做到的。

And now I know why my dad used to call me a butterfly.

現在我知道爸爸為什麼叫我 "蝴蝶 "了。

I just wanted to spend more time with her, and now I understand.

我只是想多陪陪她，現在我明白了。

It's quite a relief, actually, to be able to finally say all of that.

能說出這些話，其實是一種解脫。

It's a bit like, if you want to have a difficult conversation with someone and you don't know where to start, you never do it.

這就有點像，如果你想和某人進行一次艱難的談話，卻不知道從何說起，那你就永遠也做不到。

Well, I've just done that with lots of people closest to me in one go, which is really scary to start off with.

我剛剛和很多最親近的人一起做了這件事，一開始真的很害怕。

But now it's done, I feel a real sense of relief and feel that people then understand you. to get a notification each time we upload a new video.

但現在完成了，我感到如釋重負，覺得人們會理解你。
