Head Master: Whats that? 那是什么？小布拉德：是大脑里
13、的一种东西使我发出怪声。Little Brad: Its a thing in my brain that causes me to make weird noises. 校长：不过用意志，你能自我控制住，对吗？Head Master: But you could control it if you wanted to, right?Little Brad: No, sir. Its a sickness. 小布拉德：不能，先生。这是一种病Head Master: Well, why cant you just get cured?校长：好吧，那你为什么不去治好它Little Brad: Th
