Sawyer: Hurley told me that you said I’m an atheist. Why did you say that?

Jack: Well, you never go to the church. I have never seen you pray so I assumed it was the case.
Jack:嗯,你從未去過教堂,我從未見到你祈禱,因此我猜想是那種情況
Sawyer: I understand where you’re coming from but you shouldn’t take things for granted. I believe in God. I just don’t believe in a religion. That doesn’t make me an atheist.
Sawyer:我知道你從哪里過來,但你不應(yīng)該把一些事認為理所當(dāng)然。我相信上帝,我只是不信教,這并不能讓我成為一個無神論者
