汤姆：嗨，乔尔，你剪头发了。
Joel: You can notice that. I don't have much hair left. You can see that it got cut.
乔尔：你注意到了。其实我本来就没有多少头发，你还能注意到我剪发了。
Tom: Yeah, why don't you grow it out?
汤姆：是啊，可是你为什么不留长呢?
Joel: Actually, you can't notice right now cause it's cut so short but my hair's curly, so if I let it, and I'm bald on top now, so if grow it out I look like Bozo the clown.
乔尔：你现在可能看不出来，因为我的头发剪得很短，我是卷发，可是我现在开始谢顶，如果我留长，那我看上去很像小丑“波索”。
Tom: Did you have long hair before?
汤姆：你以前留过长发吗?
Joel: Actually in college I had long hair. I grew it out pretty long and then, you know, my hair is really blond. I don't know if you can tell now. It's gotten a little bit darker, but it was down to my shoulders and really curly.
乔尔：我上大学的时候留过长发。当时我的头发非常长，你知道我是金发。我不知道现在你能否看出来。现在我的发色有点深了，当时我是齐肩发，而且是卷发。
Tom: Wow.
汤姆：哇。
Joel: Yeah.
乔尔：对。
Tom: When did you start losing it?
汤姆：你什么时候开始掉头发的?
Joel: I noticed sort of at the end of college, when I had long hair, because it didn't grow nearly as long in the front. I always wanted it to be really even: long in the front and back, but it was, it grew much faster and much thicker in the back than in the front.
乔尔：我是在大学快毕业时意识到的，因为我留长发时前面的头发和后面的不一样长。我一直希望前后能一样长，可是后面的头发总是比前面的头发长得快，而且也比前面的头发厚。
Tom: So when it's all gone, are you going to start combing it all over?
汤姆：那你谢顶以后，你有把头发都梳到中间吗?
Joel: No, I don't want to have the comb over. I, actually, my wife likes bald heads, so I'm lucky, so I just cut it really short. It's funny though. When I was really young, well when I was born, I was bald until I was maybe one years old or so, and I had very thin white straight hair, so it was perfectly straight, until I was about 13 years old, and as soon as I hit puberty, "booing"! My hair suddenly got curly, so as a self-conscience young adolescent, that was a but of a shocking experience for my hair to go from straight to curly almost overnight. Yeah.
乔尔：不，我不想那样做。实际上，我妻子喜欢谢顶的人，所以我很幸运，我只是把头发剪得很短。这很有趣。我小的时候，我出生以后就一直不长头发，直到9岁我才长出非常细的白色直发，当时头发非常直，可是在我13岁的时候，刚进入青春期我的头发就突然变成卷发了，对于一个自主的青少年来说，头发几乎在一夜之间从直发变为短发是非常令人震惊的经历。
