Haruki Murakami: "Hei, ada apa denganmu? Mengapa Anda begitu terhindar...

"Hei, ada apa denganmu? Mengapa Anda begitu terhindar? Anda masih belum menjawab saya, "Saya mungkin masih belum sepenuhnya beradaptasi dengan dunia," kataku setelah memikirkannya. "Aku tidak tahu, aku merasa ini bukan dunia nyata. Orang-orang, pemandangan: mereka sepertinya tidak nyata bagiku." Midori menyandarkan siku di bar dan menatapku. "Ada sesuatu seperti itu di lagu Jim Morrison, aku cukup yakin." Orang-orang aneh ketika Anda orang asing."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Hey, what is it with you? Why are you so spaced out? You still haven't answered me." I probably still haven't completely adapted to the world," I said after giving it some thought. "I don't know, I feel like this isn't the real world. The people, the scene: they just don't seem real to me." Midori rested an elbow on the bar and looked at me. "There was something like that in a Jim Morrison song, I'm pretty sure." People are strange when you're a stranger.
