月台上几乎没有人。

There was almost no one on the platform.

月台上有一盏灯光照明，但是小孩们的脸在阴影中。

A lamp lit the platform, but the children's faces remained in a shadow.

It takes place in small rooms. If you begin to think about it, you can almost see the set changes: in the diner, on the train station. That's about the most open place, on the train platform. That's about the most open place we see.

在很小的空间里发生，如果你们开始思考它，你们几乎能看到场景的改变，晚饭，在火车站，那算是最室外了，在火车的月台上，那也算是最室外了。
