Six days ago I left Brooklyn to drive to California.

六天以前我离开布鲁克林，前往加利福尼亚州。

Goodbye, Son. Good luck to you, my boy.

再见，儿子。祝你好运，我的孩子。

Goodbye, Mother. Here, give me a kiss and then I'II go.

再见，妈妈。给我个吻，我就上路。

I'll come out with you to the car.

我跟你一块儿走到车子那儿。

Oh, no, it’s raining . Stay here at the door. Hey, what’s this, tears? I thought you promised me you wouldn’t cry.

哦，您别出来了，雨正下着，您就留在门口吧。嘿，怎么回事，您哭了?您不是答应过我不哭的。

Oh, I know dear. I am sorry. But I,I do hate to see you go.

好吧，我不哭，我很抱歉。我真的舍不得你走。

Oh. I'll be back. 1'11 only be on the coast three months.

哎呀，我会回来的。我只在海岸停留三个月而已。

Oh, it isn’t that. It’s just the trip , Ronald. I wish you weren’t driving.

哦，我也不是舍不得。只是这一趟行程，朗诺得，我希望你不要自己开车去。

Oh. Mother. There you go again. People do it every day.

哎呀，妈妈，您又来了。天天都有人在开车。”

I know.But you’ll be careful, won’t you? Promise me, you’ll be extra careful.

我知道，但你要小心点儿，好吗？答应我，你会特别小心。

Don't fall asleep or drive fast or pick up any strangers on the road.

不要在半路上睡着了，不要开快车，也不要让陌生人搭便车。

Oh gosh ! You'd think I was still seventeen，to hear you talk. ”

听您这样说，您以为我还是十七岁的小男孩。

And wire me as soon as you get to Hollywood, won’t you, son?

你一到好莱坞，就赶紧打电报通知我一声， 听到没？儿子。

Of course I will. Don’t you worry, there isn't anything going to happen.

知道了，您别担心，不会有事的。

It's just eight days of perfectly simple driving on smooth, decent, civilised roads with a hot dog or a hamburger stand every ten miles.

这趟只是八天的车程，沿途是平坦、顺畅，有人烟的道路，每十英里就有卖热狗或汉堡的摊子。
