15
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:04.914
Well, hello. Hi.

也就是那個照顧他，和他結褵五十四載的妻子。她對他全心全意，並依然深愛著他。

Yeah, keeping him calm...
這樣可以幫助安定他的情緒……

Her name is June, and she regularly visits her husband, who no longer knows who she is.

我在想，看到這一幕一定很難過。你會難過嗎？

21

In a way, but not totally, because I understand his condition, and if he can find someone to make him laugh or talk to, that's fine.
就某些方面而言我會，但並不全然，因為我瞭解他的病情。如果他能找到可以讓他歡笑和說話的對象，那也沒關係。

因為阿茲海默症會影響一個人的判斷力和記憶力， 

23
00:01:45.182 --> 00:01:54.681
finding someone else isn't the same as actually betraying or stepping out on your spouse, whom you know, who you remember and who you've made a commitment to.
找到另一名伴侶並不等同於出軌或是背叛你記憶中曾經許下婚誓的那名配偶。

Here's what I think -- that you're very generous, very unselfish, and isn't that what love's all about?
我認為你非常寬容無私，這不正是愛的真諦嗎？

25
00:01:59.185 --> 00:02:01.316
Oh, yes. Yes.
沒錯，沒錯。
