過去簡單式

before I earned the right to have breakfast.

祈使句型

Imagine an 8.5-year-old kid getting up in the dark in Canada

想像一個八歲半的小孩，在加拿大的黑夜中醒來

and going outside and opening the barn door,

and I remember, there would be like 30 rats

我記得，每一次我打開穀倉門時

and I would hope that none of them would stay around.

And, one time I went back to the house and I said,

It was kinda the beginning of me realizing that

差不多就是那時候，我開始意識到

我並不是生長在一個會支持我的環境中

And I learned one thing, and one thing only,

I remember waking up, I was about 13 or 14 years old,

我還記得我差不多 13 或 14 歲大時，我一早醒來

and this was the day my dad had promised me

This was the day we were gonna play together.

We were gonna throw the football back and forth,

I popped out of my bed and I ran down the stairs,

然後我看到我父親在他一如既往會待的地方

But as I got closer, I knew something was wrong.

然而當我慢慢靠近，我感覺到有什麼不對勁

It was like I could feel there was a heaviness in the air

就好像我可以感覺到空氣中有一股沉重

我說，「呃，你準備好要玩了嗎？」

And the weirdest thing happened is he turned,

然後最奇怪的事情發生了，他轉過頭

he looked at me, and I felt myself shrinking down.

And he stood up, and this shadow cast over me, and he goes,

然後他站起來，影子籠罩住我，然後他說

Do you think that this roof just puts itself there?

你以為這屋頂是自己蓋起來的嗎？

One day you're gonna have to work hard for money.

有一天你會需要為了錢努力工作

Now, get out and play on your own before I put you to work."

現在，在我叫你去工作前自己出去玩。」

and I never asked him again to play, ever.

我再也不會要他一起玩了，再也不會

I don't have one memory of playing with my dad, not one.

我沒有任何和我爸一起玩的記憶，一個都沒有

was when he was working around the house doing a chore,

就是當他在到處忙著做家務事時

我會說，「爸，我可以幫你嗎？」

I'd hand him the nails, or I'd hold the measuring tape.

我會遞給他釘子，或是扶好捲尺

He never once, he never came to my hockey games.

他一次也沒來過我的曲棍球比賽

He dropped me off in the car and stayed in the car.

他把我放下車，人就待在車子裡

All the other parents were tying the skates,

其他的父母都在幫小孩試穿溜冰鞋

I would try to score as many goals as I could

so I could go and then tell him I scored the winning goals

我就可以去跟他說我進了致勝的一球

so he'd want and come look, but he never did.

我記得得到學校的學業成就榮譽

for academic achievement, looking out in the crowd

hoping to see my dad, but he was never there.

希望看到我爸，但是他從來不在

So the only solace I had was to work hard.

所以我唯一的安慰就是努力工作

And, I'd call him out to look at the task being done

and invariably, it was never good enough.

然後一如往常地，他總是覺得做得不夠好

So, I doubled down again and work harder.

但是，在人生中如果你先做容易的

But, if you do what is difficult, life will be easy.

但是，如果你先做困難的，將來就會變得容易

I saved up enough money to get a scooter.

By the time I was 17, I thought; you know what?

I mean, I could go out and make four times the amount

我的意思是，我去外面靠自己生活可以賺到

even if I have to pay rent, I don't care.

所以，我搬出去了，我開計程車

I did carpentry, I cut lawns, I washed windows,

我做木工、我修草坪、我洗窗戶

I got a call from my stepmom and she said,

我接到來自我繼母的電話，她說

So, I jumped on a plane and I did everything I could.

所以，我跳上一班飛機，我盡我所能

I remember the day I had to leave to back

我還記得在我必須回去照顧我家人的那天

to take care of my family, I had a young son at the time.

And I asked my dad, he was probably about 98 pounds,

然後我問我爸，他那時大概 44 公斤

"Dad, can you think of a time when I made you proud?"

「爸，你可以想想我什麼時候讓你驕傲了嗎？」

and I'm thinking to myself, my god, there was a whole bunch.

然後我心想，老天啊，有太多事可以說
