I manage a liquor store. So many of your waitresses, bankers, lawyers, mechanics, teachers, and more are daily drinkers. I didn’t realize it until I started my job.
我开一家烟酒店。你们什么女服务员，银行家，律师，机械工，教师，等等等等，全都是每天都喝酒。我开始干这行之后才明白。

One of my first (and many) eye-openers was when I was stuck in traffic because of an accident on the highway and I got to the store about 30 minutes later than usual. The woman behind the counter said "Is the traffic bad?" and I said yes and asked her why she was asking and she said "all the regulars were about half an hour late today."
我第一次（之后也有很多）大开眼界的时候，就是因为高速公路出了事故，我遇到了堵车，到烟酒店的时间比平常晚了大概半小时。柜台后的女人说，“是不是堵车啊？”我说对，然后我问她为什么这么问，她说，“常来的客人今天都迟到了半个小时。”

My biggest recent "eye-opener" (read: indication I'm an alcoholic I can't easily ignore or rationalize) was when a delivery driver told me the clerk at the liquor store said I was a cool dude.
我最近最“大开眼界”的一次（意思是说我原来是个自己没法无视也没法洗白的臭醉鬼），就是有个送外卖的跟我说，烟酒店的店员说我这人挺酷的。

I used to manage a liquor store and a gas station. The number of people who you'd see in there everyday for a few singles, or several times a week for a case or a half gallon was truly disturbing¡
我以前曾经开过一家烟酒店和一家加油站。有太多的人要么每天都过来喝几杯，要么一个星期过来好几次，每次买一箱或者半加仑（译注：3.8升），真的特别让人恼火！

That's why your more, ahem, functional alcoholics will have several stores they visit regularly. To avoid anyone knowing they're actually putting away a half gallon every two days.
所以那些，嗯，“正常生活”的醉鬼们，都会定期去拜访几家不同的店。为了不让那些店知道他们其实是每两天就喝光半加仑的酒。

That guy is/was me. I'm on day 7 of no alcohol and its been pretty great. I have about 4 different liquor stores near me that I was rotating with to avoid the everyday interactions. Pretty much got to the point where it was effecting my work and health and if I dont quit, ill be dead within a couple years.
你说的这个人就是/曾经是我。我今天是不喝酒的第七天，感觉还算不错。有四家不同的烟酒店开在我家附近，我四家换着去，避免和他们产生日常交际。基本上我把自己喝到了工作和健康都受到影响，并且如果我不戒酒的话，再过几年我就会死掉的程度。

Yeah this is something I did that I realized once I started talking to other alcoholics is ridiculously common among us. I had 3 different places I went to, and the amount I bought at each one individually was enough to kill most men.
没错，我和其他的醉鬼聊起来之后才发现这种情况在我们身边其实特别普遍。我会去三个不同的店里，而我在每个店里买的酒量都足够把绝大多数男人直接喝死。

My friend worked for the city in public health. It was her job to ensure liquor stores and beer distributors remained open and functioning. It was a public health initiative - if the liquor stores closed (they're all State run here) there would've been a large health crisis, simply because there are so many "functioning" alcoholics that are a few missed drinks away from serious withdrawal, which can be fatal.
我的朋友在城市的公共卫生部门工作。她的职责是保障在疫情期间，烟酒店和啤酒分销商也能正常营业。这是一项公共卫生运动——如果所有的烟酒店都关门了（这里的都是州政府经营），就会爆发一场大规模的健康危机，因为有太多“正常生活”的醉鬼，他们只要少喝几顿酒就会面临严重的戒断反应，有可能致命。

I was in the women's bathroom at work once (after TWO YEARS at this company) when I heard an odd whooshing sound overhead that I had never heard before. I mentioned it to the custodian, who I bumped into in the hall, and he was like "oh yeah, that's the sound of water running in the men's room sink. You don't hear it often!"
有一次我去女厕所（还是在这家公司干了两年之后），忽然听见头顶传来一阵我从没听过的奇怪的冲水声。我走进大厅的时候和保洁员问了一句，他说，“哦对，那就是男厕洗手池水龙头的声音。一般听不到！”

One time I went to a buffalo wild wings and in the men's bathroom I heard someone having a very loud and drunken shit. They finished up and walked right past the sink and out the door. I was so grossed out. Then I passed his table on the way back to mine, and he was elbow deep in chicken wing sauce. Licking all over his hands. It was one of the grossest things I've ever seen.
我有一次吃烤翅，在男洗手间我听见有人喝醉了拉一泡惊天动地的屎。他拉完之后经过洗手池头也不回地就出去了。我感觉特别恶心。然后我回自己的餐桌之前路过他的餐桌，他身上鸡翅的酱汁都快沾到胳膊肘了，还在嗦自己的手指头。那是我这辈子见过的最恶心的事。

They come into the library where I volunteer to find help, not only do some of them not have email addresses (and most of the ones who do rely on the computer remembering their passwords) a significant number don't even have mobile phones.

The way I look at it, libraries have always been focused on storing knowledge more than storing books, but up until relatively recently books were the only practical way to store large amounts of information. Once we developed ways to archive info that weren't books, libraries quickly adapted to include those as well.
在我看来，图书馆一直担当的职责是储存知识，而不只是储存书籍，但直到相对最近为止，书籍仍然是储存大量信息的唯一实际方式。而在我们发明了以书籍之外的方式储存信息的方法之后，图书馆很快也将这些方法也纳入了范畴。

My mum told me when I was around 18 (she was mid 40s then) that she still didn’t feel like an adult and essentially that she was also just winging it. It was so crazy to me then, that there is no such thing as an adult. The concept is a scam. There’s only experience and the ones that learn from it but nothing more. Almost 10 years later and I get it. I don’t feel like an adult, just like myself. Which is fine by me.
我差不多18岁的时候（她四十岁中旬），我妈妈跟我说她仍然不觉得自己是个成年人，她觉得自己也只是在即兴发挥。在当时的我看来这实在是太疯狂了，居然根本没有“成年人”这种东西。这个概念本身就是种诈骗。只有经历和从经历中学到的东西，但没有别的。过了差不多十年，我明白了这一点。我不觉得我是什么成年人，我只觉得我是我自己。我觉得这样没问题。

Not even just kinks and BDSM, but every nurse I've ever dated had a very strong, very active sex drive. One woman told me it was because they spend so much time taking care of others, that it fuels a want for them to be taken care of as well. I dunno how true that is, but I've definitely experienced for myself that there's some truth to the naughty nurse stereotype.
不只是怪癖和BDSM，我约过的每个护士都有特别强，特别主动的性欲望。有个女人跟我说，那是因为她们花了太长时间照顾其他人，这会让她们产生一种想要被照顾的欲望。我不知道这是不是真的，但我自己是确实体验到了，“淘气的护士”这个刻板印象背后确实有点东西。

Obviously it's anecdotal, but my girlfriend and her coworkers are the complete opposite of that and also nurses. All of her coworkers are women and all her coworkers view on sex is basically "I'm too tired to want it so I just do it to get it over with."
很显然是传闻而已，我的女朋友和她的同事们和你所说的完全相反，她们也是护士。她们都是女性，并且她的同事们对性的看法都是“我太累了，我不想要，我只是随便糊弄糊弄让自己过得去。”

College professor here. I'm pretty sure a non-negligible number of my students are functionally illiterate or have a reading comprehension level of a middle schooler. Things are just getting worse.
我是一名大学教授。我很确定在我的学生中，有无法忽略的一部分人属于功能性文盲，或者他们的阅读理解能力和中学生类似。情况已经越来越严重了。

“呃就是尽管互相都在乎但我们都觉得都不太开心，所以我们就把东西分了。现在我俩都更开心了。”

One of my annoyances with my ex was how much useless stuff she accumulated. So it was cathartic, and we both had a giggle, as I went around the house pointing and "that's yours, that's yours, you're keeping that, that's yours.."
我对我的前任最烦的一点就是她总喜欢买没用的东西。所以离婚还挺能宣泄情绪的，我们两个都笑了，我还一边在房子里走来走去一边说，“那个是你的，那个是你的，那个你留着吧，那个是你的……”

It was so amicable that I literally let her do all the paperwork (I did, of course, go over it). We were in court for like 5 minutes.
这个过程舒心到协议书都是我让她写的（当然我自己看了一遍）。我们在法庭里就待了不到五分钟。

My mom said she loves us, but if she didn't know us and could do it all again, she wouldn't have kids. It's a lifetime of responsibility and I don't blame her.
我妈妈说过她爱我，但如果她不认识我们，并且能再来一次的话，那么她就不会选择要孩子。这是要负一辈子的责任，我并不责怪她。

Quite a lot of people might under or overdose on their prescxtion meds, that rarely gets reported as suicide, unless they leave a note. Car accidents, some of them are suicides but many get reported as mere accidents. Same for drownings, accidents around the home etc.
有很多人可能只是少吃或者多吃了处方药就死了，这种情况很少被定义为自杀，除非他们留下纸条说明。车祸，有些情况是自杀，但很多都被判定为意外事故。溺水，家附近的意外事故等等也是这样。

Pretty hard to hide a shooting, hanging etc. but lots take their life through different means and if it's not cut'n'dried it'll often just go down as something else.
枪击或者自缢之类的情况还是很难隐藏的，但很多人选择结束生命的方式有所不同，如果没有人去一探究竟的话，这些人的死亡经常被划归为其他因素。

Good people. Seriously, I think over 90% of us are at least decent. People look at politicians and celebrities and other extremely public people and think everyone is like that. For some reason we haven't figured out how to do government or business without the worst people making it to the top, but I still believe most of us are more good than bad. Even a good portion of Trump voters probably aren't doing it for nefarious reasons. They're just uninformed or ignorant and have bought into the lies.
好人。说真的，我觉得我们90%以上的人都至少算得上是不错的人。人们看到政客名人和其他特别极端的公众人物之后，就觉得每个人都像他们那样。出于某种原因，我们还没有弄明白如何能在避免让最糟糕的那种人攀上顶峰的前提下把政府或者商业系统运作明白，但我还是相信我们中的绝大部分都是好人而不是坏人。就连那些给特朗普投票的，很大一部分可能也不是出于邪恶的目的而这么做的。他们只是了解得不多，或是无知，或是自愿相信这些谎言。

Cynicism is a major problem in the world because it stalls or halts progress. To improve anything, you need to believe it can be improved. Idealism alone won't solve things, you have to act on it and apply it correctly, but cynicism can never solve anything.
看乐子是全世界都存在的问题，因为这会阻止进步。想要改善某个东西，你得先相信它确实能被改善。光靠理想主义是没法解决问题的，你得做出行动，正确地运用你的理想，但是看乐子什么都解决不了。
（译注：这里没有将cynicism译为“愤世嫉俗”；事实上cynicism/cynical在绝大多数情况下都不适合译为“愤世嫉俗”，它没那么伟大，里面也没多少愤和嫉的意思，打个比方的话它就是一个人在说出“典绷乐孝急赢”时的那种心理状态而已。）
