They don’t owe it to us to come out. That’s their decision to make. And yes I can see how people view our discussions of their possible relationship as being hypocritical. But all we’re discussing is their public interaction. It’s not intrusive, imho.
As I said, I think they’re pretty much in the glass closet now as a couple. But I don’t know how likely they’re coming out all the way would be.I don’t think either one of them is all that comfortable in the limelight. Some people become actors because they’re hams and they like the fame & attention. Others (like my view of R/L) just like the work, the process, regardless of how much fame or money it brings them. Neither of them seem to chase after media attention. They don’t seem to like doing any more interviews than they have to. They don’t talk much about their private sides in general. So I’m not surprised that they don’t discuss their romantic situation.
他们没有义务出柜。那是他们自己的决定。是的我明白很多人觉得我们对于他们情侣关系的讨论是很虚伪的。但是，我们只是在讨论他们公众场合的互动而已。这也不算是侵犯隐私吧，我真的这么觉得。
正如我所说，我觉得他们应该现在是透明柜的一对情侣。我不知道他们有多大可能性会公开出柜。我也不觉得他们两位中哪位喜欢受到那样的瞩目。有些人成为演员是因为他们富有表演欲，喜欢名誉并享受公众视线。而其他人（比如我眼里的Richard和Lee）只是喜欢这个工作本身和这个创作过程，并不在意金钱和荣耀。他们二人看上去并没有特意寻求媒体曝光，并不喜欢接受（宣传工作以外的）不必要的采访，他们也并不喜欢谈论自己的私人生活。所以不谈论自己的感情状况在我看来是一件很正常的事。
Maybe they’re at their public-exposure comfort level. People are aware of them as a couple, they know of that awareness but they’re OK with it. They’d hide it more otherwise. No public flirting for a start!
I don’t expect them to make a big public announcement and come out. If anything I think it’s really only a matter of time before one of them slips up and makes some casual mention of “my boyfriend, Richard” or “my partner, Lee.” That sort of thing. They just can’t seem to help themselves, the silly kids.
也许他们可以接受现在的公众曝光率。人们知道他们是一对情侣，他们也知道大家知道这件事不过并不介意。不然的话他们会更努力的掩饰的。比如少在公共场合调情！
我并不指望他们公开发表声明然后出柜。我觉得最多就是时间长了，其中一个人说漏嘴了，不小心说出“我男朋友Richard”或者“我的伴侣Lee”这样的字眼。他们就是控制不住，这俩傻孩子。
And I do think it should be kept in mind that they sexual orientation may have nothing to do with their perceived secrecy. Some straight couples choose to keep things hidden as well. They don’t want the public scrutiny. Why should a gay couple be any different? I think they’re just quietly going about their lives. That’s fine by me. Sure, I’d love to see a picture of them together as much as the next fan, but if not, I’ll deal. I’m perfectly happy with the occasional hints/glimpses that they’re still together.
而且我觉得大家应该意识到，他们的性取向可能并不是他们遮遮掩掩的原因。有些直男直女也不喜欢公开自己的事情。他们都不想被大众审查，为什么一对同性情侣就不同呢？我觉得他们就是安静的过着自己的日子，这一点我完全可以接受。当然，我和其他粉丝一样很希望见到他们的合照，但是如果见不到也没所谓。能够时不时的看到一些线索表明他们还在一起，我就已经很满足了。
Incidentally, I was recently listening to Lee’s Sad Happy Confused podcast, again. At one point, towards the end, Lee is asked about his perfect movie viewing experience. And he talks about seeing a movie in a NY theater where the NY audiences like to critique everything and pull it apart. Whereas his “ENGLISH friends” talk about how “they like this or love that“. I had to laugh. Just like in that Access Hollywood bit where Lee couldn’t help mentioning “OUR Thorin, who’s in London doing a play” (no asked about Richard, Lee!), Lee had to mention his English friends specifically. He just had to go there. LOL. Bless him.
巧的是，我最近又听了Lee的播客<Sad, Happy, Confused>一遍。接近尾声的时候，Lee被问到了他最完美的观影经历。他说在纽约的戏院看电影的时候纽约客们喜欢批判一切，而他的“英国朋友们”却喜欢说“他们喜欢这个爱那个”。听到这里我忍俊不禁。就像上次圣地亚哥漫展的时候Lee情不自禁的提起：”我们的索林正在伦敦参演一部话剧。“（没有人问你关于Richard的事情啦！Lee）Lee就是一定要明确的提到自己的英国朋友，他就是非这么做不可，哈哈。祝福他。
I’ve really gotta stop the late night rambles. They do have a tendency to run away with themselves. Don’t feel obligated to post all of this (or indeed any of it, LOL). Just offering my support and 2 cents.
我真的得停下这种深夜漫谈啦，思绪有点不知道到哪里去了。不要有压力觉得一定要把它贴出来哦，哈哈。我只是以这种方式来表达自己的支持和观点。
