总迟到的朋友

字幕原文

My friend told me seven, and then showed up at seven forty as usual. 我朋友跟我说七点，然后跟往常一样七点四十才出现。

Oh, you've got one of those. 哦，你也遇到这种人了。

Do you just tell them the wrong time now? 你现在是不是干脆跟他们说个错的时间？

I've started saying half an hour earlier. 我已经开始说早半小时了。

It works surprisingly well. 效果出奇地好。

That's the only way. 也只能这样了。

You're basically doing time-zone math for one person. 你这基本上就是在给一个人做时区换算。

Right. 没错。

If I said the real time, I'd be sitting there alone forever. 我要是说真实时间，我就得一个人在那儿等到天荒地老。

At least they always show up eventually. 至少他们最后总会出现。

That counts for something. 这多少也算点安慰。
