　　Pencil：You know, I'm really sorry.

　　铅笔：我想说，我真的很抱歉。

　　Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

　　橡皮：为什么？你没有做错事情啊？

　　Pencil: I'm sorry, Because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you are always there to erase¹ it. But as you make my mistakes vanish², you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller everytime.

　　铅笔：对不起，每次都是因为我而连累你受到伤害。我犯错的时候，你总是会帮我纠正，但在帮助我的同时，你消耗的却是自己的身体。你看看，你已经快要消失了。

　　Eraser: That's true, but I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though, one of these days, I know I'll be gone and you have to replace³ me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

　　橡皮：没错，但是真的没关系。我生来就是为了帮助你，纠正你的错误，即使有一天我会因此消失，而你也会找到新的朋友，继续如我一样毫无保留地帮助你。我其实很开心能在你身边，履行我的使命。所以，不要伤心了，我可不想看到你难过的样子啊。
