The story

马克：灯暗了。开始了。第一场：少年的青春。The lights have gone down. It's starting. Scene one: the boy's youth.

安娜：你吃吗？我带了十个。Want one? I brought ten.

马克：小声一点儿！等一下……青春呢？Quiet! Wait... where's his youth?

马克：我写了两百页的青春！这儿怎么只有三分钟？I wrote two hundred pages of youth! Why are there only three minutes here?

安娜：三分钟的青春，也很好。Three minutes of youth is nice too.

马克：凭什么？！这个所谓的导演，凭什么拍掉我的青春？What gives him the right?! This so-called director, what gives him the right to cut my youth?

A：前边的，小声一点儿！You in front, keep it down!

马克：他把少年的爷爷忽略了！把第三个城市也忽略了！He's ignored the boy's grandfather! He's ignored the third city too!
