探索世界奥秘之Life Story(生命物语) Unit13
(Come on, let's talk about sex, baby, let's talk about you and me, let's talk about...)
When it comes to growing up, 12-year-old Beatrice will ride the roller coaster of puberty.
(let's talk about sex, let's talk about you and me...)
When you are a teenager, apparently1 you go bolshy, you get your periods, you get pubic hair. You get taller, you get, er, sort of, er, you go wide at the hips2, I think it is, I can't remember. It's painful to run. I wanna tell you that because what happens up above, you have to start wearing a bra, sorry. (I) have to mention that, it gets really painful to run.
Month by month, Jeff and Philipper will share with us perhaps the body's greatest miracle.
I just marvel3 at the fact that all of this is going on, there's no real intervention4 for me, it's just my body taking over and doing it all, and I'm not, not in control of it, at , at all really, it just all happens.
In adulthood5, we reach the peak of human achievement. Marsha, an astronaut, has scaled the heights.
There is nothing in our experience, genetic6, metaphysical, emotional, psychological experience that prepares us for being off the planet. You know, you can look at all of the pictures that come back from space, and you can look at the videos and there are something about looking out of the window that is not describable.
And we'll be living through the ravages7 of aging with 76-year-old Bud and his wife Viola. They live and work on a farm in the Midwest of America.
What I remember about Bud, he had the prettiest waviest8 hair.
Ha-ha.
That's different now, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Ha-ha, and his skin was smooth, no wrinkles, and didn't have any little pot here.
Ha-ha.
And in our last chapter, as his body slowly succumbs9 to cancer, Herby will take us on his final journey.
I know, I'll never see this film in my lifetime.
