I offer you that kernel of myself that I have saved somehow -the central heart that deals not in words, traffics not with dreams and is untouched by time, by joy, by adversities.
我愿意给你我百般守护的内核 - 不懂花言巧语，未被梦想所累，也未被岁月、快乐和不幸触碰过的，我的内心。
（这是叙说者的内心）
… that traffics not with dreams 没有被梦想塞满的内心。
……
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart; I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.
我能够给你的是我的寂寞、我的阴沉、我心中的饥渴；我正在尽力用易变、危险和失败来收买你。
（这是叙说者的外表）
