Ruth: I’m really glad you’re getting so much support from the public. Look at all of these bags of fan mail.
如斯:很高兴你能获得公众这么多支持。看这些箱子里的影迷来信。
Carl: Only about half of that is fan mail. The rest is hate mail.
卡罗:这只是影迷来信的一半而已。其余部分是攻击性邮件。
Ruth: Hate mail? Who would send you hate mail?
如斯:攻击性邮件?谁会给你寄攻击性邮件?
Carl: Lots of people. People who are disgruntled write to me about their grievances.
卡罗:很多人,对我不满意的影迷给写邮件就是诉说他们的不满。
Ruth: Really?

Carl: Don’t look so surprised. We’ve gotten bomb threats, and I’ve even received a few death threats.
卡罗:不要这么惊讶。我们收到炸弹恐吓,甚至还收到一些死亡威胁。
Ruth: Death threats?! Aren’t you worried about your personal safety?
如斯:死亡威胁?你难道不担心你的人身安全?
Carl: Not really. Most people are just venting and others are trying to intimidate me. I’m not going to buckle under just because I get a few letters.
卡罗:不是真的吧。大多数人只是发泄一下情绪,别人试图恐吓我。只是因为收到一些信件的话,我不会屈服。
Ruth: But it only takes one mentally unbalanced person to carry through on threats. Have you considered getting a bodyguard?

Carl: No, I don’t need any protection. I just need to keep plugging away and getting things done.
卡罗:不,我不需要什么保护。我只需要不断努力,把事情做完。
