The Audiovisual, Part Two

视听教学，第二部分

The "Nightline" show had done a follow-up story on Morrie

—— partly because the reception for the first show had been so strong.

部分是因为第一次节目获得非常热烈的反响，所以“晚间专线”节目对莫瑞进行了后续报道。

This time, when the cameramen and producers came through the door, they already felt like family.

这次，当摄影师们和制片人们走进莫瑞家的时候，他们已经感觉像家人一样。

And Koppel himself was noticeably warmer.

科佩尔本人明显地变得更加友好热心。

There was no feeling-out process, no interview before the interview.

这次不需要试探的过程，也不需要访谈前再来一个访谈。

As warm-up, Koppel and Morrie exchanged stories about their childhood backgrounds: Koppel spoke of growing up in England, and Morrie spoke of growing up in the Bronx.

作为开场热身，科佩尔和莫瑞互换分享了他们各自童年背景的故事：科佩尔讲了在英格兰长大的经历，莫瑞讲了在纽约布朗克斯区长大的故事。

Morrie wore a long-sleeved blue shirt——he was almost always chilly, even when it was ninety degrees outside——but Koppel removed his jacket and did the interview in shirt and tie.

莫瑞穿了一件蓝色长袖T恤衫——他现在几乎时时刻刻都觉得冷，就算外面有90华氏度（摄氏32度）——但是科佩尔得脱掉外套仅穿着衬衫和领带做访谈。

It was as if Morrie were breaking him down, one layer at a time.

让人惊叹的是莫瑞仿佛能够将科佩尔逐层瓦解，一次一层。

"You look fine," Koppel said when the tape began to roll.

“你看起来不错，”摄影机开始滚动起来的时候科佩尔发话了。

"That's what everybody tells me," Morrie said.

“每个人见了我都这么说，”莫瑞回答。

"You sound fine."

“你听起来也不错。”

"That's what everybody tells me."

“每个人见了我都这么说。”

"So how do you know things are going down hill?"

“既然如此，你怎么能确定你的病情在走下坡路呢？”

Morrie sighed.

莫瑞叹了口气。

"Nobody can know it but me, Ted. But I know it."

“除了我没人知道，泰德。但是我自己十分清楚。”

And as he spoke, it became obvious.

就在他说话的时候，日渐严重的病情已经很明显了<strong style="color:#FC5832;word-break:break-all;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font
