EN: There never was anyone like Janis. There never was anyone like you.
CN: 再也不会有像她这样的人了,也不会有像你这样的人。

EN: Gecmis olsun. It's Turkish. It means, "May it pass quickly."
CN: “Gecmis olsun”,是土耳其语,意思是希望这一切快点过去。

EN: There's no straight lawyers in Turkey. They're all bent. Bent as hairpins. Occupational necessity. They have special classes in corruption at night school. If you're suspected of honesty, you're disbarred.
CN: 土耳其没有正直的律师,他们一肚子花花肠子,弯弯绕绕的,这也是职业需要,他们在夜校学到了特别的课程,如果他们怀疑你是个诚实的人,你就得退学了。

EN: You can drift in here and never know you're gone. You can fade so far out, you don't know where you are anymore, or where anything else is. I find loneliness is a physical pain which hurts all over. You can't isolate it in one part of your body.
CN: 时间从1970年走进了1971年,你可以漂泊,不知自己去了哪里,你可以渐渐消失,再也不知自己身在何方,也不知其它事物在哪里。我发现孤独会造成切身的疼痛遍布全身,你无法杜绝孤独,它是你身体的一部分。

EN: To the Turks everything is "söyle böle." It means "like this, like that." You never know what will happen. All foreigners are "ayip." They're considered dirty. So is homosexuality. That's a big crime here. But most of them do it every chance they get. There are about 1000 things that are "ayip." You can stab or shoot somebody below the waist but not above. Because that's intent to kill. So everybody runs around stabbingeveryone else in the ass. That's what they call "Turkish revenge."
CN: 土耳其人用“söyle böyle”来形容一切,意思就是“像这样,像那样”,你永远不知道会发生什么,这里所有的外国人都会被人称为“耻辱”,他们认为外国人是肮脏的,同性恋也一样,在这里是重罪,但他们大多数人只要有机会就会做这里有一千多种“耻辱”的事,比如说,你可以用刀刺,或是开枪打一个人腰部以下的位置,但不能攻击腰部以上,因为那样就算蓄意杀人,所以所有人都会用刀刺伤别人的屁股,那被称为“土耳其式复仇”。

EN: What is a crime? What is a punishment? It seems to vary from time to time and place to place. What's legal today is suddenly illegal tomorrow because some society says it's so. What's illegal is suddenly legal because everybody's doing it. You can't put everybody in jail.
CN: 什么是犯罪?什么是惩罚?答案似乎会因为时间地点的改变而不同,今天合法的,明天可能突然就违法了,就因为某些团体认为它违法,而昨天违法的,可能突然合法了,因为所有人都这么做。

EN: Mercy! You would know that the concept of a society is based on the qualityof that mercy. Its sense of fair play and justice. But I guess that's like asking a bear to shit in a toilet. For a nation of pigs, it sure is funny you don't eat them. Jesus Christ forgave the bastards, but I can't. I hate. I hate you. I hate your nation and I hate your people.
CN: 仁慈,你会知道一个社会的思想基础,建立在仁慈之上,它关系着公平与公正,但我想让你明白这一点比让熊用马桶还难,你们是一个由一群猪组成的民族,你们不吃猪还真是可笑,上帝原谅了你们这群杂种,但我不能,我恨,我恨你们,我恨你们的民族,我恨你们的人民。

EN: You see, we all of us come from a factory. Sometimes the factory makes bad machines that don't work. The bad machines don't know they're bad machines. But the people at the factory know. They know that you are one of the machines that doesn't work.
CN: 我们都来自于一个工厂,这个工厂制造的有些机器是坏的,所以就被放在了这里,坏机器并不知道自己是坏的,但工厂里的人知道,他们知道你就是一个坏机器。
