【边听边看】
DAMON: Great gal. Whoo. She's got spunk. You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess... hospital.
很棒的女孩，哇哦，她可真有勇气。而你，正好想法，看起来筋疲力尽的。你今天是不是过度运用自己的能力了？让我猜猜，是在医院。
STEFAN: Someone had to clean up your mess.
总得有人帮你收拾残局。
DAMON: Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember, if you don't feed properly, none of those little tricks work right.
额，成功了吗？说服的力量有效吗？记住，如果你吃的东西不恰当的话，你的小把戏就不会凑效。
STEFAN: How long was Elena here?
Elena来了多久了？
DAMON: Were you worried, Stefan? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game, "I'm a high school human"?
你担心了吗，Stefan？害怕我们命中注定是要重演历史？你不是你玩的“我是个人类高中生”这样的小游戏的原因吗？
