It's sort of late in the day for students who have been through the better part of a semester thinking about the nature of death to argue, maybe, it wasn't such a good idea for you to take this class in the first place.

对学生来说有些太晚了,你们经历了大半个学期,思考着如何讨论死亡的本质，也许，你一开始来上这门课就不是个好主意。

And, you know, when you go up there, as you go up to Montmartre, it's incredible--because I was there once very, very late in the afternoon, and oddly enough I met this woman who went there every day, and I said, "why do you go there every day?"

你知道,当你去到那边,当你去到蒙马特高地,那简直不可思议,因为有次下午很晚了,我在那边,很神奇的,我遇到了一位妇人,她每天都到那里去,我就问她,"你为什么每天都来"
