Which parts of Tom resonate with you most?
汤姆的哪些部分最能引起你的共鸣？
Tom is not too different from me. I’m Chinese-American. He grew up in Chinatown in the Bay Area of San Francisco, California. I grew up in Chinatown in Los Angeles. So I didn’t have to dig too deep into my life and my experiences to relate to Tom.
汤姆和我没有什么不同。我是华裔美国人。他在加利福尼亚州旧金山湾区的唐人街长大。我在洛杉矶的唐人街长大。因此，我不必深入了解自己的生活和经历，就可以与汤姆建立联系。

汤姆真的很擅长在困难的情况下保持积极的态度。他用他的智慧和幽默感来克服困难。这些是我绝对可以理解的事情。
In the beginning, Tom tries to go about dealing with a lot of his obstacles with brute force (蛮力). But he learns to use his head a bit more and find compassion. That’s something that I had to develop as I got older, too.
一开始，汤姆试图用蛮力去解决他遇到的许多障碍。但他学会了多动脑筋，找到了同情心。随着年龄的增长，这也是我必须培养的东西。
