A 32-year-old man has released a video in which he chats with his boyhood self.
近日一名32岁的男子在网上发布了一个和小时候的他对话的视频。
Jeremiah McDonald, a filmmaker and actor who lives in Portland, Me., stitched together footage of himself at age 12 with video from the present to simulate a conversation between the two.
Jeremiah McDonald是一位居住在波特兰市的演员兼导演，他把自己12岁时录制的影片假装与现在的他对话的视频剪辑在了一起。
The video, which has garnered nearly 3.8 million views since McDonald posted it Thursday on YouTube, features a back-and-forth about dead pets, "Star Wars," and the grown-up McDonald's realization he lost touch with a youthful passion for drawing.
这个视频一经上传就引起了轰动，在YouTube视频网站上已经吸引了380万的浏览量。在视频中，Jeremiah与20年前的自己谈论了自己死去的宠物，星球大战，还有他曾经想做一名画家的愿望。
"I think I'd like to talk to myself in the future. Yes, that's something that I'll do," the younger Jeremiah says into the camera toward the start of the video, which segues into photos of McDonald over the years since 1992.
"我觉得我会在将来和我自己说话。是的！我会这么做的。"小时候的Jeremiah在视频开场时这么说，之后就是Jeremiah1992年至今的照片剪辑。
McDonald says he used the montage to demonstrate the kid is him after viewers reacted with disbelief to a similar video he made five years ago.
视频播放后有一些人说这个视频是他在5年前做的，McDonald 对此则说他运用了一些照片剪辑来证明这个孩子确实是他。
"I remember showing it to people and they'd politely nod and say, "That's cute. So who was the kid playing you,"'" McDonald told TODAY.com. "And it didn't even occur to them that the kid might be me."
"我记得我把这个视频给别人看的时候人们都很礼貌的说：‘好可爱啊，那个小孩是谁啊？'"McDonald在接受TODAY.com的采访时说，"他们都没想到那个小孩是我。"
"Even though the footage is real, the piece is still a surreal work of fiction," added McDonald
"尽管那些镜头都是真实的，但是这个视频依然是一个超现实的虚构作品，"McDonald补充道。
Though McDonald has a significant body of work, reaction to the time capsule video may lift his career to a new level.
尽管McDonald已经有一些出色的作品，但是这个穿越时空的对话将他的职业生涯提到了一个新的高度。
"Had my first "recognized by a stranger" moment at the airport," McDonald tweeted Saturday. "Here we go."
"第一次在机场被陌生人认出来，太棒了！"McDonald在推特上自豪地说到。
