英文原文:

Holly: I'm going for a walk, Yi-jun. I need some time to myself.
Yi-jun:Don't you want to go to the visiting hours? This sheet says they are tonight.
Holly: I just can't right now. Everyone will be talking about Taylor and...
Yi-jun:...and maybe that's what we both need.
Holly: I need to come to grips with his death first. And I also need to prepare a eulogy in case I'm asked to speak tomorrow.
Yi-jun: OK, but don't forget I'm here for you, and I know how you feel. It's my loss, too.
