Narrator: Long after their playdate was over, young Ned remained under Chuck's spell... Until a blood vessel in his mother's brain burst, killing her instantly.

Narrator: Young Ned's random gift that was, came with a caveat or two. It was a gift that not only gave - it took. Young Ned discovered that he could only bring the dead back to life for one minute without consequence; any longer, and someone else had to die.
这份上苍给予小Ned的礼物，携带着一两条禁用条款。它不止赋予人重生的机会，它也会带走人的生命。小Ned发现，让死者回生一分钟时间，就不用承担任何后果；时间再长，则另一个人将代替死者死去。（很复杂的特异功能啊~~）

2. 分开的成长 视频详见>>
Narrator: At their respective parents' funerals, dizzy with grief, curiosity and hormones, young Ned and a girl named Chuck had their first and only kiss. After his mother's death, Ned avoided social attachments, fearing what he'd do if someone else he loved died. And he became obsessed with pies. It's 19 years, 34 weeks, 1 day and 59 minutes later, heretofore known as "Now." Young Ned has become The Pie Maker. And this is where he makes his pies: the peaches never brown, the dead fruit in his hands becomesripe with everlasting flavor ... as long as he only touches it once.
在他们各自深爱父母的葬礼上，悲伤、好奇加之荷尔蒙冲昏了头脑，小Ned和这个叫做Chuck的女孩儿初吻了，这也是他们俩唯一一次接吻。在母亲死后，Ned害怕自己的能力会让其他深爱的人死去，从此不敢与人深交。而他就此沉迷于做水果派。19年34周1天59分之后，也就是所谓的"现在"，小Ned成为了一个专做水果派的糕点师。在他做派的店子里，桃子永远不会黄锈，腐烂的水果经他之手重又变得鲜熟欲滴，美味芬芳--只要他只碰一次。 （复杂的特异功能这么用是真不错~~）

每天我来上班咧，我都选一种口味的水果派，我把我所有的爱都集中在这种派上，因为如果我爱它，别人也会爱它，你猜怎么着？结果吧，我卖出去这种派的数量比别的多得多唷。

Narrator: Emerson Cod was the sole keeper of The Pie Maker's secret. And this is how he came to be the sole keeper of The Pie Maker's secret: a private investigator, Mr. Cod met The Pie Maker when his Pie Hole was on the verge of financial ruin. Mr. Cod proposed a partnership: murders are much easier to solve when you can ask the victim who killed them. The Pie Maker reluctantly agreed.
爱默生·宼德是唯一一个知道糕点师秘密的人。而这就是他如何成为唯一一个知道糕点师秘密的人的。宼德先生是个私家侦探，他正好在奈德的"喉咙口"派店濒临经济危机的时候撞上了他起死回生的魔力。宼德先生就提出要合伙：毕竟直接问死者谁杀了他们的话呢，案子办起来就容易得多了。糕点师心不甘情不愿地只好答应了下来。

8. 宅女的养成 视频详见>>
Narrator: Lying in the dark, Chuck considered how she came to be lying in the dark. She considered the life that was with Aunts Lily and Vivian. Theirpersonality disorders blossomed into incapacitating social phobias, which made it difficult for them to leave the house. Which in turn made it difficult for Chuck to leave them. She served her community by harvesting honey for the homeless. She never strayed far from home. She read about people she could never be, on adventures she would never have. Life was good enough, until one day, it wasn't: Chuck wanted more. But at Boutique Travel Travel Boutique, she got more than she bargained for ...
躺在黑暗之中，查克回想起她是怎么才会像这样躺在黑暗之中的。她回想起与莉莉和薇薇安姨妈一起生活的日子。两位姨妈的人格障碍，渐渐发展成为了社交恐惧症，使得她们由此足不出户，也连带让查克不能走远。她就在街坊里出售自产的蜂蜜为流浪者募款，从不离家千里。在家里她博览群书，阅读那些她成为不了 的人的离奇人生。生活很容易满足，直到有一天这样的生活也不足以满足她的梦想，她想要更多的体验。而在精品旅游旅游精品店，她所得到的要比要求的更多......

Ned: I'm not a fan of the hug.
我这人对拥抱这事儿不感冒。
Chuck: Then you haven't been hugged properly. A hug is like an emotional Heimlich: they put their arms around you and give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety goes shooting out of your mouth like a big, wet wad and you can breathe again.
那你一定没有被好好抱过。一个好的拥抱就像感情的海姆利克氏疗法：人们把双臂环绕着你，用力挤一下，然后你所有湿湿嗒嗒的一大坨恐惧忧虑，都会从你嘴里喷涌而出，然后你就又能自由呼吸了。（非常可爱的一段描述~~抱抱）
