Brian: not really, actually I just keep that sentence in mind.(我只是牢记着那句话)
N:what?
Brian: don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles u.(不要去招惹麻烦,除非麻烦主动找上门来)

Nikky: what kind of type u are as a kid, brian.(当你是小孩时,你是哪一类的)
Brian: well, when I was a kid that everybody hated in school, cuzI was , like, poor and cant dress good, and the other kids and even my teachers made fun of me so I was , real loner type. (当我还是小孩子的时候,在学校里,几乎人人都不喜欢我,因为我又穷,穿的又差,所以其它小孩甚至我的老师都取笑我,我真的是一个很孤僻的类型)
Nikky: but u r not a loner now.(但是你现在不孤独了)
Brian: cuz what?(为什么这么说?)
Nikky: because u got me, brian, I can tell that u r a kind guy.(因为你有我呀,Brian,我能看出你是个很好的人)
【Brain小结】:
在自寻烦恼的时候,有些话的确可以起到意想不到的作用,使人解脱,比如刚才的那句话:don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you。
