If I should have a daugher
如果我有一个女儿
instead of "Mom",she's gonna call me "Point B"
她会称我为“ Point B ",而不是“妈妈”
because that way she knows that no matter what happens
因为她知道无论发生什么事
at least she can always find her way to me.
最后她总能找到办法回到我身边
And I'm going to paint solar system on the backs of her hands
我会把太阳系画在她的手背上
so she has to learn the entire universe
这样她会了解整个宇宙
before she can say "Oh,I know that like the back of my hand."
在她能够说 “哦,我了解这事儿就像了解我的手背那样” 之前
And she's going to learn
并且她会懂得
that this life will hit you hard in the face
生活将会向你迎面痛击
wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach
等着你重新站起来好再踢你的肚子
But getting the wind knocked out of you
但是让狂风将你袭倒
is the only way to remind your lungs
这是唯一的方式去唤醒你的肺
how much they like the taste of air
使它们记得多么喜爱空气的滋味
