1 .So, then, when the action started, and it showed detectives talking to each other in an office, I already knew that the office was located in a tall building in a big city, sometime in the 1940s.
所以，接下来当动作开始出现，画面显示侦探们在办公室里互相交谈时，我就知道了办公室在一个大城市的一栋高楼里，时间是上世纪四十年代的某个时候。
2 .And I, uh, had a good idea that the events that'd be taking place would be pretty dark and mysterious, because of the shot, the image, I saw at the beginning of the scene.
并且，受我在开场时看见的那幅照片影响，我觉得电影里将要发生的事情会非常黑暗且神秘。
