Come to my parents' house, I want you to see where I come from. So you'll understand why it's so hard for me to understand your world. I am different from you. I'm not complex or sophisticated. I am a simple person, even if maybe you don't want to accept it.

来我老家吧，我想让你看看我来自哪儿。这样你或许会明白，为什么我很难理解你的世界。我跟你不一样。我既不复杂，也不老练。也许你会觉得难以接受，但我还是得说，我是个简单的人。

It was great to have you home. You understand me more now, that's all I ask. Do you know that seeing you among the houses where I grew up makes everything different, as if it acquired a new magic, as if it had a value that I had never seen before?

能邀你到家里来真是太棒了。你现在更了解我了，我简直别无所求。你知不知道，看到你站在我从小长到大的屋子里，一切都不同了？好像被施了魔法，好像一切都从此有了特殊的含义。
