精彩语录:

1. Don与Lucky Strike客户在会议上的对话

Client: But everybody else's tobacco is toasted.
但其他公司的烟草也是烘培出来的

Don: No. Everybody else's tobacco is poisonous. Lucky Strike...is toasted.
错了,其他公司的烟草是有毒的,而Lucky Strike的烟草是“被祝福的(烘培过的)”。

Don: Advertising is based on one thing: happiness.
And you know what happiness is?
Happiness is the smell of a new car.
It's freedom from fear.
It's a billboard on the side of the road
that screams with reassurance
that whatever you're doing...
it's okay.
广告就是建立在一件事情上:幸福感
幸福是什么?
幸福,
是新车的气味,
是无所畏惧的自由,
是路边的一块广告牌,
而那块广告牌让你尖叫和惊叹,并向你保证
无论你做什么...
都是没有问题的。

Don: You are okay.
你们,没有问题。

Client: It's toasted. I get it.
是“被祝福的(烘培过的)”。我明白了。

2. Don跟Rachael Menken讲述他对“爱”的看法

Don:
Oh, you mean love.
You mean the big lightning bolt to the heart where you can't eat and you can't work
and you just run off and get married and make babies.
噢,你说“爱”。
你说的“爱”是击中心灵的闪电,既不能吃也不能用,你只能跑开,然后结婚、生小孩。

The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist.
你感受不到爱,是因为爱根本不存在。

What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons.
你所谓的“爱”是我这些卖尼龙的人发明出来的。

You're born alone,and you die alone,
and this world just drops a bunch of rules on you
to make you forget those facts,
but I never forget.
你孤身来,又孤身走,
这个世界只是丢给你一堆规则和定义,
让你忘记事实,
但我从来没有忘记。

I'm living like there's no tomorrow...because there isn't one.
我把每一天都当作最后一天来生活...因为根本没有明天。
