MICHAEL: I don't Know. Last night I was up till 3:30 or 4: 00, and even though I'm exhausted, I can't sleep. I haven't been sleeping well for a week. 不知道，昨天晚上虽然我精疲力尽，可怎么也睡不着，这一个星期我都没睡好。
JOANA: That's probably because you're too tense.这倒有可能，因为你太紧张了。
MICHAEL: I don't know what's wrong.我也不明白到底怎么了。
JOANA: Great paintings aren't created overnight, Try to relax.一幅杰作，也不是一个晚上就能创作出来的。还是放松点。
MICHAEL: That's easier said than done.谈何容易。
JOANA: I'm sorry.对不起！
MICHAL: NO, don't apologize.没什么。
JOANA: What's the subject of the painting?画的主题是什么？
MICHAL: That's the problem. I want to do a portrait. 我正在考虑。我想画一张肖像。
JOANA: Of whom ?谁的肖像？
MICHAEL: A woman, A modern woman. But that's all I know. I've been drawing all week, but I don't like anything I've done. 一个女人的，一个现代女性的肖像。可是你看，画了一星期了，没有一张让我满意。
JOANA: What's the problem? Do you know?那到底是什么问题？你知道吗？
MICHAEL: Me. I'm the problem. I think I'm going stale. I've been painting for ten years, I should be able to do better than this.我，是我的问题。我觉得我在后退。我已画了十年的画了，应该画得比这要好。
