白金表链

字幕原文

It must have been made for Jim and no one else. 这绝对是专为吉姆做的，非他莫属。

There was nothing like it in any other store, 别的店里根本找不到这样的好东西，

and she had turned them all inside out. 而她早就把所有的店都翻了个底朝天。

It was a platinum watch chain, simple and pure, 那是一条白金表链，款式简单纯粹，

showing its value by quality alone, 单凭品质就能显出它的贵重，

not by flashy decoration, as all good things should. 完全不靠花哨的装饰，真正的好东西本就该是这样。

It was even worthy of The Watch. 它甚至配得上吉姆那块宝贝金表。

The moment she saw it, she knew it had to be Jim's. 她一眼看到它，就知道非吉姆莫属了。

It was like him: quiet, and valuable. 它就像吉姆一样：内敛沉静，却非常有分量。

The best things, like the best people, don't need to shout. 最好的东西就像最优秀的人一样，从来用不着大声张扬。

They took twenty-one dollars from her for it, 店里收了她二十一美元，

and she hurried home with eighty-seven cents. 她揣着剩下的八十七美分，急匆匆地赶回了家。

Grand as his watch was, Jim sometimes checked it on the sly, 吉姆的那块表虽然气派，但他有时还是会偷偷摸摸地看时间，

because of the old leather strap he used instead of a chain. 因为他买不起表链，只能用一根破旧的皮带子代替。

Not anymore. 不过从今往后，再也不会了。
