1.Everything has a purpose, even machines. Clock tell the time and trains take you places. They do what they're meant to do, like Monsieur Labisse. Maybe that's why broken machines make me so sad. They can't do what they're meant to do. Maybe it's the same with people. If you lose your purpose, it's like you're broken.
一切事物都有使命，就连机器也是一样。钟要报时，火车要带你去往目的地。他们都在做着本职的工作。也许这就是为什么机器坏掉我会这么难过。这样他们就不能尽到自己的职责了。也许人也是一样的。如果你的生活毫无目的，就好像你坏掉了一样。
2.Right after my father died, I would come up here a lot. I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figure if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too. （经典台词）
我父亲死后，我经常到这儿来。我会把整个世界想象成一个巨大的机器，机器永远不会有多出来的零件，你知道的。他们总是精确地有着自己需要的份量，所以我想，如果这个世界是一个巨大的机器，我就不会是多余的零件，我在这里，总是有原因的，这也说明，你能在这里，也是有原因的。
