對話20年前的自己 "時光穿越"引轟動
A 32-year-old man has released a video in which he chats with his boyhood self.
近日一名32歲的男子在網上發佈了一個和小時候的他對話的視頻。Jeremiah McDonald, a filmmaker and actor who lives in Portland, Me., stitched together footage of himself at age 12 with video from the present to simulate a conversation between the two.
Jeremiah McDonald是一位居住在波特蘭市的演員兼導演，他把自己12歲時錄製的影片假裝與現在的他對話的視頻剪輯在了一起。The video, which has garnered nearly 3.8 million views since McDonald posted it Thursday on YouTube, features a back-and-forth about dead pets, "Star Wars," and the grown-up McDonald's realization he lost touch with a youthful passion for drawing.
這個視頻一經上傳就引起了轟動，在YouTube視頻網站上已經吸引了380萬的瀏覽量。在視頻中，Jeremiah與20年前的自己談論了自己死去的寵物，星球大戰，還有他曾經想做一名畫家的願望。
"I think I'd like to talk to myself in the future. Yes, that's something that I'll do," the younger Jeremiah says into the camera toward the start of the video, which segues into photos of McDonald over the years since 1992.
"我覺得我會在將來和我自己說話。是的！我會這麼做的。"小時候的Jeremiah在視頻開場時這麼說，之後就是Jeremiah1992年至今的照片剪輯。McDonald says he used the montage to demonstrate the kid is him after viewers reacted with disbelief to a similar video he made five years ago.
視頻播放後有一些人說這個視頻是他在5年前做的，McDonald 對此則說他運用了一些照片剪輯來證明這個孩子確實是他。"I remember showing it to people and they'd politely nod and say, "That's cute. So who was the kid playing you,"'" McDonald told . "And it didn't even occur to them that the kid might be me."
"我記得我把這個視頻給別人看的時候人們都很禮貌的說：‘好可愛啊，那個小孩是誰啊？'"McDonald在接受的採訪時說，"他們都沒想到那個小孩是我。""Even though the footage is real, the piece is still a surreal work of fiction," added McDonald
"儘管那些鏡頭都是真實的，但是這個視頻依然是一個超現實的虛構作品，"McDonald補充道。Though McDonald has a significant body of work, reaction to the time capsule video may lift his career to a new level.
儘管McDonald已經有一些出色的作品，但是這個穿越時空的對話將他的職業生涯提到了一個新的高度。"Had my first "recognized by a stranger" moment at the airport," McDonald tweeted Saturday. "Here we go."
"第一次在機場被陌生人認出來，太棒了！"McDonald在推特上自豪地說到。
