the... the feel and the smell of the place, I just, I was inspired.

You walk down the street and there's an elderly lady sweeping outside of a little restaurant.

走在街头,看到一位老妇在小餐馆的外面打扫。

You look at her and think, "There's a nice 65-year-old lady,

看着她在想,“一个不错的65岁的老婆婆,

she's probably retired, a part-time job, keeping busy,"

and then you find out she's 90 or 95 or 99.

And you go down the market and you see...

"Oh, there's a lady, she looks like she's in her 70s,"

“噢,老妇人,看起来才70多岁。”

and you find out, "Oh, yeah she's 101."

后来,发现,“啊,她有101岁了。”

And I thought, wow!
