原文及翻译

In order for American democracy to survive, we need a culture of vulnerability, or at least a space in that culture for vulnerability.   I talk to a lot of people I disagree with, and those conversations have a hard time going anywhere productive.   But what I've found is, if you can get off the path of disagreement and onto the path of something completely tangential—like I talked to somebody who was a big MAGA supporter, and we were butting heads, and then outside of that, we started talking music.

为了让美国民主得以生存，我们需要一种脆弱的文化，或者至少在这种文化中有一个脆弱的空间。我和很多意见不一致的人交谈，而这些谈话很难取得任何有成效的结果。但我发现的是，如果你能摆脱分歧的道路，走上完全切线的道路——就像我和一个MAGA的忠实支持者交谈，我们互相碰撞，然后我们开始谈论音乐。

We started talking 1960s music, specifically the band Bob Dylan, something that he absolutely loved and I do as well.   That conversation opened us up to one another in ways that wasn't happening before, and then we were able to kind of articulate some of our uncertainties, the things that made us scared.   

我们开始谈论20世纪60年代的音乐，特别是鲍勃·迪伦的乐队，他绝对喜欢的东西，我也喜欢。那次谈话让我们以前所未有的方式彼此敞开心扉，然后我们能够清晰地表达出我们的一些不确定因素，那些让我们害怕的事情。

I can't say we found agreement on certain political issues, but we found—is understanding that we were all trying to walk this path and had our own misgivings about certain things.   So it's not always a recipe for success, but there is more common ground to be found.   But it might be off the beaten path.

我不能说我们在某些政治问题上达成了一致，但我们发现，我们都在努力走这条路，对某些事情有我们自己的疑虑。因此，这并不总是成功的秘诀，但我们可以找到更多的共同点。但这可能是一条人迹罕至的道路。
