3. Best TV series out right now? 现在最好的电视剧是哪一部?

Raised by Wolves. Big fan of Ridley Scott and enjoy sci fi media in general. It’s the perfect mix of entertainment and unease. I often find the coldest things to be the most romantic. I love imagery that makes me shriek a bit inside. Also love androids in general.

《异星灾变》。作为雷德利·斯科特的超级粉丝,我很喜欢这部科幻剧,又娱乐又令人深感不安。

我喜欢有点可怕的,让我在内心尖叫的影片。我也好喜欢机器人。

4. Favorite Chinese saying? 最喜欢的一句中国谚语是?

欲速则不达. Roughly translates to “If you want fast, you won’t get there.” So brutal but so true.

欲速则不达——说得如此残酷,但是又如此的真实。

5. What’s your favorite movie in the past five years?近五年来,你最喜欢的电影是哪一部?

“Paterson” by Jim Jarmusch. It’s about poetry and everyday life. Art that seems like it does and says nothing, often touches me the most.

《帕特森》,由吉姆·贾木许指导。这部电影讲述了充满诗情的日常生活。那种似乎什么也没说,不让你经历跌宕起伏的艺术,却是往往能让我最感动。
