一个人撑起的一段戏，值得整段跟读❝ 凯斯报喜NPC觉醒
We did it. Everything that we wanted to create, it actually happened. Okay? Did you know that the NPCs have private lives? One of the baristas learned how to make a cappuccino through trial and error. I mean, that's really difficult. I can't even do that. I can't even froth my own oat milk in the morning. And the Bombshell character in the game wrote a memoir that's a searing indictment of gender roles, the patriarchy. It's a little preachy in parts but, over all, it's pretty good. Millie, we have to celebrate!
我们成功了。我们想创造的一切，真的实现了。 好吗？你知道吗，那些NPC居然有私生活？ 有个咖啡师靠反复试错，自己学会了做卡布奇诺。 我是说，那真的很难。我自己都不会。 我早上连自己的燕麦奶都打不出沫。 还有游戏里那个炸弹美女角色 写了一本回忆录，狠狠控诉 性别角色，还有父权制。 有些地方说教了点，不过整体还不错。 米莉，我们必须庆祝一下！
从卡布奇诺试错讲到回忆录，兴奋里藏着他们梦想成真。
❝ 盖追问自己是谁
Wait, hold on a second. Just stop for a second. I wanna make sure that I'm getting this straight. I just wanna fully understand, here. So, I'm fake? The entire world is fake? I'm not even a main character, I'm just this idiot who's in the background?
等等，等一下。先停一停。 我想确认我没理解错。 我只是想彻底搞明白。 所以，我是假的？ 整个世界都是假的？我甚至不是主角， 我只是个待在背景里的傻瓜？
一连串确认问句把身份一层层剥掉，听到背景傻瓜时崩住。
本章要点
看完能带走什么- 学会用 about to 说马上发生
- 见到 trial and error 知道是试错
- 听懂 NPC 就是非玩家角色
- 会用 no easy way 缓冲坏消息
常被搜到的问题
先看问题，再对照台词about to 在 His whole world's about to end 里什么意思
表示马上就要发生。凯斯说盖的整个世界即将结束，比 will end 更紧迫，像倒计时。
trial and error 怎么翻译
反复试错。NPC咖啡师没人教，自己试出来怎么做卡布奇诺。
失控玩家里NPC是什么意思
Non-player character，非玩家角色。盖被设计成给真人玩家陪衬的背景人物。
food for thought 是讽刺吗
字面是“值得想想”。凯斯用来冷嘲：盖作为NPC大概才四岁。
I'm just this idiot who's in the background 怎么译
我只是个待在背景里的傻瓜？盖听懂自己不是主角后的心碎反问。
