EN: I've always said that writers know less about the real world than almost anyone else.
CN: 我总是说，作家对现实世界的了解比任何人都要少。
EN: It's so quiet. I mean, London's out there, but we can't hear a fucking thing. I play music but it's worse when it ends. And I even bought one of those, um… uh, white-noise machines. But it's like there's someone in the corner of the room whispering about me. And we can't even open the windows, but I guess they don't really want us to jump. It's hard for business, you know. Bodies broken on the concrete. I mean, who's gonna move in then?
CN: 太寂静了，外面就是伦敦，我们却什么都听不见，我会放音乐，但放完后却更显空虚，我甚至还买了一个..白噪音盒子，但它就像是房间的角落里有人在低声议论我。我们甚至不能开窗，我想是因为他们并不希望我们跳下去，这样房子会掉价，尸块碎裂在混凝土上，到时候谁还敢搬进来。
EN: Queer was always such an insult. That's probably why we hate 'gay' so much now. I mean, it was always like… Your haircut's gay. The sofa's gay. Your trainers are gay. Your school bag's gay. Queer does feel polite somehow, though.
CN: "酷儿"一直都是贬称，或许正因为此我们才如此厌恶'同性恋'吧，听起来总像是..你的发型好同性恋，沙发好同性恋，你的运动鞋好同性恋，你的书包好同性恋，酷儿听起来确实有礼貌一些。
EN: I've always felt like a stranger in my own family. And then… coming out just puts a name to that difference. It's always been there. It's only endless.
CN: 我一直觉得自己在家里算是个陌生人，之后的.. 出柜只是给一直存在的差异取了个名字，它是不会消失的。
EN: I'd always felt lonely… Even before. This was a new feeling. Like, uh… terror. that like I'd always… be alone now. And then, as I got older, that feeling just… solidified. It just… uh… just a knot… here all the time.
And then losing them, I just got tangled up with all the other stuff. Like being gay, just feeling like the future doesn't matter.
CN: 我一直都感到孤独..事情发生以前也是一样，但这是一种新的孤独感，就像是呃..无声的恐惧，好像我现在将会永远独自一人，然后随着我年龄的增长那种感觉就像是凝固了，它没有散开..一直纠缠在这里打结，失去他们后其他东西就把我缠住了，比如同性恋身份，感觉就像..未来没有意义。
