| 18 | There was something so visceral, so powerful, | 有东西是如此的粘,如此强大, |
| 19 | about being in the same room as a dead body, | 和尸体一样在同一个房间里 |
| 20 | something that my society, your society as well, | 我的社会,你的社会, |

| 22 | Now, I said this was the first time I had met a corpse, | 我说这是我第一次遇到尸体 |

| 59 | I've been in the industry for nine years | 我干这个九年了 |

| 65 | Last summer, I visited South Sulawesi in Indonesia. | 去年夏天,我访问了印度尼西亚的南苏拉威西。 |
| 66 | There are remote villages there that keep the dead | 那儿有偏远的村庄 保存着死者 |
| 67 | in the home for years after death. | 死后在家中待了数年 |
| 68 | In fact, my interpreter lived with his mummified grandfather | 其实我的翻译和他木乃伊的祖父住在一起 |

| 70 | Every morning, they would take him out of bed, | 每天早上 他们都会把他从床上带走 |

| 86 | and they deserve to be treated as such. | 他们应该被这样对待 |
| 87 | In the West, we have never had quite this close a relationship with death, | 在西方,我们从未有过如此接近死亡的关系 |

| 89 | is what we need to do to fix our very broken relationship with death. | 我们需要做的是 修复我们非常破碎的关系 与死亡。 |
| 90 | But before the professionalization of death care, | 但是在死亡护理专业化之前 |
| 91 | before we began to pay people to take care of our dead, | 在我们开始付钱给别人照顾死者之前 |
| 92 | we really were much closer with them than we are now. | 我们真的比现在更接近他们。 |

| 94 | It's out of the hands of the families and into hands of the professionals, | 离诸眷属及专业人士之手. |
| 95 | and in that transition, there have been some pretty big myths | 在这个转变中, 有一些相当大的神话 |
| 96 | associated with the dead body. | 和尸体有关 |
| 97 | Scandalous, scurrilous accusations, if you ask me. | 如果你问我的话, 污秽,污秽的指控。 |

| 103 | she is entirely safe to be around. | 她在这里是完全安全的。 |
| 104 | The second is that families are not allowed to be involved, | 第二是不允许家人介入 |
| 105 | {\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}一个殡仪馆馆长要冲进去 | |

| 107 | That's not true either. | 这也不是事实。 |

| 112 | even help to wash and dress their body for burial or cremation. | 甚至帮助洗涤和打扮他们的尸体以便埋葬或火化. |
| 113 | This kind of empowerment and closer intimacy with the dead body | 这种赋予权力和与尸体的亲密关系 |
| 114 | is why I founded a funeral home in Los Angeles called Undertaking LA. | 所以我在洛杉矶建立了一家殡仪馆 叫做洛杉矶公司 |
| 115 | We're a non-profit, which means we can help people in LA | 我们是非营利组织 也就是说我们可以帮助洛杉矶的人 |

| 117 | to do this with their own loved ones. | 和他们自己的亲人一起做这件事 |

| 132 | all-night vigils to support the family with singing and dancing | 夜以继夜 支持家庭的歌舞 |

| 134 | In the United States, the wake has a storied history as well, | 在美国,守夜者也有着沉痛的历史 |
