1. When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost. It makes demands in exchange for singularity. And you may be asked to do something against your very nature. Suddenly, the change in your life that should have been wonderful comes as a betrayal. It may seem cruel, but the goal is nothing short of self-preservation—survival.
——at a cost以什么為代價(jià)。It does so 是說(shuō)evolution dose the thing of making demands。也就是說(shuō)進(jìn)化是以它有權(quán)命令被選者為代價(jià)，而選擇它的代理人的。
——in exchange for singularity 進(jìn)化用命令對(duì)換卓越，即進(jìn)化給人超能力，代價(jià)是人要服從它。
——short of 這里指除了什么以外，即除了自保也就是生存之外任何都不是目的。

2. Well, this is macaroni and cheese. It's what Americans eat when they want to commit suicide slowly.
——我們美國(guó)人慢性自殺時(shí)吃的事物，諷刺一種不健康的飲食文化。macaroni and cheese 專有名詞，起司空心粉。

3. Fine. You think you can paint the future. Paint one without me in it.
——你說(shuō)你能夠畫(huà)出未來(lái)，那么畫(huà)一個(gè)沒(méi)有我在你身邊的的未來(lái)。讓人心碎的絕交用語(yǔ)??！

4. Look, I know what it's like to raise a boy on your own. To be stretched so far, you wish you could be in two places at once. I get it.
——on one’s own 獨(dú)自
——我知道獨(dú)自撫養(yǎng)兒子是多么辛苦。至今你一直繃緊精神，使得你期望自己能夠分身異地，我明白你的感受。（其實(shí)她一點(diǎn)也不明白，她覺(jué)得看得見(jiàn)另一個(gè)全新人格的自己，和婆婆說(shuō)的分裂的程度截然不同；英雄們也面臨著和正常人一樣的情形，只是他們的程度更深一些罷了。）

5. It's New York. Everyone runs into each other sooner or later.
So I guess sooner rather than later.
——sooner or later 遲早，或早或晚；而改版后的sooner rather than later 更是強(qiáng)調(diào)了遲早的必然性和速度。
