者：你现在是位著名奇幻作家了。你想过这本书会有这么成功吗You have become quite a popular fantasy writer in the last few years. Did you ever imagine your book would be so big
；
帕特：No. In all honesty, I never expected my book to get published at all.
没有。说实话，我都没想到它能出版。
译者：写这个故事时，你有什么既定的目标吗还是只是想到就写了Did you have any particular goal in writing the story in the first place Or did you write it simply because it was there
帕特：Oh, I wasn't writing just to goof around. I wanted to write a good book. I wanted to write something that got people excited about reading fantasy again. But I didn't expect to get published. I knew the odds were stacked against me there.
哦不，我不是为了闹着玩而写的。从一开始我就想写出一本好书，让人读了以后重新爱上奇幻。但我没想到能真的出书。我知道可能性不大。
译者：很久以前我听说过关于写作的统计数据。内容大概是“在二百五十个开始写小说的人里，只有一个能坚持写完。在二百五十个写完了小说的人里，只有一个能出版。在二百五十个出版了小说的人里，只有一个能以此为生”。
【
Fairly early on I remember hearing some statistics about writing. It was
something along the lines of "Out of every 250 people that start a novel, one will finish it. Out of every 250 people that finish a novel, one person will sell it. Out of every 250 people that sell a novel, one will manage to make a living at it."
帕特：Those are steep odds. So I studied chemistry and physics in high school. I figured if I was going to be a writer, I better have a job that could feed me while I worked on my novels.
这方面的前景可不太乐观。所以我在高中分科时选择了化学和物理。我想，如果我想当作家，最好还是先找份工作养活自己。
帕特：So yeah, getting published at all was a pleasant surprise. Everything else that's come after that, the awards and being translated into other languages, that'd just icing on the cake.
所以能出书对我来说是个很大的惊喜。之后的一切，包括得奖和翻译成其它语言，都不过是锦上添花罢了。
译者：你现在的梦想是什么
What's your dream now
）
帕特：To be happy. To be a good father and watch my little son grow up happy and healthy.
活得开心。看着我儿子健康快乐地长大。
译者：这答案朴实得令人惊讶。还有什么更魔幻一点的吗，比如呼唤风的名字，或者写出和特里·普拉切特一样多的书
That’s surprisingly down to earth. Anything more magical, like learning the name of the wind, or perhaps writing as many books as Terry Pratchett
帕特：如果我真的想变成别人，普拉切特绝对是首选。他是我最爱的作家。他写的东西妙不可言，幽默风趣，而且还很高产。他太棒了。If I wanted to aspire to be someone else, Terry Pratchett would be a good place to start. He's one of my favorite authors. He manages to be be brilliant, funny, AND prolific. He's amazing.
