该句使用条件状语结构强调环境与生存的因果关系。
Woman: Oh, I see. I see.
(Urgently) Listen! It's happening again! (The man continues to hammer) Listen! Seriously! Can you just listen to me once? Just once! (She pulls him along, and he has no choice but to listen.)
Man: You're being paranoid! What sound? If there were a sound, I would definitely hear it; if I don't hear anything, then it proves there is no sound at all.
Woman: Not necessarily. Just because you don't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Man: Am I deaf?
Woman: You aren't deaf, but you only hear the sounds you are willing to hear.
Man: Go ahead.
Woman: You only hear the sounds you can understand.
Man: Precisely. Why listen to something you don't understand?
Woman: Because it is coming. You won't be able to avoid it, even if you don't understand it.
Man: Stop acting crazy. I need to get to work.
(Hammering, then he looks up at the audience)
I am a realist. The fundamental principle of a realist is to never concern oneself with things that aren't worth worrying about. Sounds? What do sounds have to do with me?! It's not as if it's our manager's voice!
I am a realist. In a realist world, only realists can survive.
女：哦，我明白了。我，明白了。
（急促地）你听！又来了！（男继续敲打）你听啊！真的！你就认真听一次好不好？只要一次！（拖起男，男只好跟女一起听。）
男：疑神疑鬼！哪有什么声音？如果有声音，我肯定能听到；如果我没听到，那就证明根本没有什么声音。
女：那可不一定。你没听到的声音，未必就不存在。
男：我是聋子吗？
女：你不是聋子，但你听见的，只是你愿意听见的声音。
男：说啊。
女：你听见的，只是你听得懂的声音。
男：这就对了。听不懂的为什么要去听？
女：因为它就要来了。你不想听懂它也不行。
男：别再发神经了好不好。我要去工作了。
（敲打，然后抬起头，对着观众）
我是个现实主义者。现实主义者的基本原则是，绝不去关心那些不值得关心的事物。声音？声音跟我有什么关系？！又不是我们经理的声音！
我是个现实主义者。在一个现实主义的世界里，只有现实主义者才能生存下去。
