最好带上这个 唐 You'd better take this along, Don.
- 乡下比较冷 - 好吧 - It's gonna be cold on the farm. - Okay.
- 你带了多少件衬衫？- 三件 - How many shirts are you taking? - Three.
- 我带了五件 - 五件？ - I'm taking five. - Five?
我已经跟公司交代了 可能星期二才回来 I told them at the office I might not be back until Tuesday.
我们今天下午出发 We'll get there this afternoon.
这样就有星期五 六 日 一 That'll give us all Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
可以渡过一个美好的长周末假期 We'll make it a long, wonderful weekend.
听起来的确很漫长 Sounds long, all right.
唐 在你经历过那么多之后 这对你一定有好处 It'll be good for you, Don, after what you've been through.
那里有树木 草原 甜美的苹果汁和浓郁的鲜乳 Trees and grass and sweet cider and buttermilk...
那里的井水 比任何冰水都还清凉 and water from that well that's colder than any other...
韦克 拜托你 Wick, please.
不要一直提那些无趣的饮料 Why this emphasis on liquids? Very dull liquids.
唐 真对不起 Sorry, Don.
我想... You know,
我们应该带着我的打字机 I think it'd be a good idea if we took along my typewriter.
为什么？ What for?
这样 我就可以开始写我那本小说 To write. I'm gonna write there, get started on that novel.
- 你真的想要写作吗？- 为什么不呢？ - You really feel up to writing? - Why not?
在你经历了那么多之后 I mean, after what you've been through.
- 我已经十天滴酒不沾了 - 我知道 - I haven't touched the stuff for 10 days now. - I know.
我知道 I know you haven't, Don.
- 那台打字机在哪？- 客厅 - Where is the typewriter? - In the living room.
就放在衣橱里面 In the closet.
靠墙的地方 Kinda towards the back.
你确定是在衣橱里？我找不到 Are you sure it's in the closet? I can't find it.
那试试桌子旁边 Well, look by the desk.
你平常不是都放床下吗？ Isn't it under your bed?
- 你找到了吗？- 没错 就在这里 - Did you find it? - Oh, sure, sure. Here it is.
这些纸也带着 And here's some paper.
我会帮你在南院找一张桌子 We'll fix up a table on the south porch.
然后 吩咐大家别去打扰你 Nobody will disturb you. I'll see to it.
或许星期六的时候 Maybe Saturday,
我们可以去乡村俱乐部走走 we can run down to the country club.
- 我才不要去那个俱乐部 - 为什么？ - I'm not going near that country club. - Why not?
他们全是一群伪君子 They're all a bunch of hypocrites.
我不喜欢被人指指点点 I don't like to be whispered about.
他们会说"看是谁从纽约来了 是柏南兄弟啊" "Look who's here from New York. The Birnam brothers."
或许说"护士和病人" 会更恰当一点 Or rather, the nurse and the invalid.
别这样 那边没人知道你的事 Oh, stop it, Don. Nobody there knows about you.
才怪 只要我们一下火车 他们就会发布警报 The minute we get off the train, the alarm is sounded.
"酒鬼回来了 大家快把酒藏好" "The leper is back. Hide your liquor."
- 是海伦来了 - 我去开门 - That's Helen. - I'll take it.
- 海伦 - 哈啰 韦克 唐呢？ - Helen. - Hello, Wick. Where's Don?
真高兴我赶上了 I'm glad I made it.
我还怕你们已经走了呢 你的礼物 I was afraid you'd be gone. Presents.
这是塞伯的新书 里面有很多笑话和插图 The new Thurber book with comical jokes and pictures...
加上阿嘉莎·克莉丝蒂的双重谋杀悬案 a nice, quiet little double-murder by Agatha Christie...
还有香烟和口香糖 cigarettes, chewing gum,
亲爱的 希望你假期愉快 and, darling, have a wonderful time.
别忘了 我要你多睡点 多喝点牛奶 And don't forget: Lots of sleep, lots of milk...
还要多喝点苹果汁和清凉的井水 我知道了 Lots of cider and lots of nice cold water from the well. I know.
弯下腰来 Bend down.
我得走了 And now I must be going.
我快要赶不上我的音乐会了 I'm ten minutes late for the concert already.
- 再见 韦克 - 什么音乐会？ - So long, Wick. - What concert?
就在卡内基音乐厅 Carnegie Hall. Bob Roller's conducting.
公司送了我两张票 They gave me two tickets at the office.
- 你要跟谁一起去？- 就我一个 - Who are you going with? - Nobody.
就你一个人？他们要演奏些什么曲目？ Nobody? What are they playing?
布拉姆斯的第二交响曲 Brahms' second symphony,
还有些贝多芬和韩德尔的作品 something by Beethoven, something by Handel...
- 只是没有格里格的 - 听起来很棒 - and not one note of Grieg. - Sounds wonderful.
再见了 星期一见 Good-bye, boys. See you Monday.
- 星期二 - 等一下 - Tuesday. - Wait a minute.
- 韦克 我有个疯狂的想法 - 比如呢 - Wick, I just had a crazy idea. - As for instance?
谁说我们非得搭三点十五的火车 Who says we have to take the 3:15 train?
我们可以改搭六点三十分的那班 We could go on the 6:30.
你在说什么？ What are you talking about?
如果我们搭乘晚一班的火车 If we took a later train,
海伦就不用一个人去听音乐会了 Helen wouldn't have to go the concert by herself.
她明明有两张票 不是吗？ She's got two tickets, hasn't she?
不 我不要你们为我改变计划 No. No, I'm not going to upset any of your plans.
你们就搭三点十五分的那班 You're going on the 3:15.
海伦 别傻了 Oh, now, Helen, it's so silly.
那么大个音乐会 你怎么能一个人去 A whale of a concert, and an empty seat next to you.
但我们都计划好了 No, Don. Everything's all set.
有人会在火车站接我们 晚餐也都事先预订了 They'll be at the station and dinner will be waiting.
那就通知他们说 我们会晚点到 Put in a call that we're taking a later train,
晚餐改成九点 这样十点就能就寝 dinner at 9:00, in bed by 10:00.
不行 我们还是照原计划进行 Nothing doing. We're going.
韦克说得对 Wick is right.
别担心我 Don't worry about that seat.
我会替我自己找一位英俊的南美百万富翁作陪 I'll find myself a handsome South American millionaire.
我就是担心这个 There you are. You hear?
更何况 我们也未必赶得上这班火车 Besides, we'd have to break our necks to catch the train.
- 差五分就要三点了 - 就是嘛 - It's five to 3:00. - You see?
别这么不知变通 Don't be so stubborn, Wick.
好吧 你们去吧 All right, go ahead.
等等 我没说我要去 Just a minute. I'm not going.
你在说什么啊 Then what are we talking about?
我是希望你去 你和海伦 I want you to go... you and Helen.
我和海伦？ Me and Helen.
没错 你比较喜欢布拉姆斯 That's the idea. Who likes Brahms, you or I?
你从什么时候开始不喜欢布拉姆斯了？ Since when don't you like Brahms?
我要留在这里继续打包 I'll just stick around here and finish packing,
然后睡个午觉 take a little nap, maybe.
别胡扯 海伦是你的女友 应该你陪她 Nonsense. If anybody goes... Helen's your girl.
唐 这听起来不太单纯 There's something in that.
更何况 你不该一个人独处 What's more, I don't think you should be left alone.
- 你们无法信任我 对不对？- 不 - I shouldn't? Not to be trusted, is that it? - No.
- 真的 唐...- 在你经历过那些事之后 - Really, Don. - After what you've been through...
就是因为这样 所以我不能去听音乐会 I couldn't go to a concert. I couldn't face the crowds.
我无法面对群众 我不能忍受跟那么多人共处 I couldn't sit through it with all those people.
除此之外 Besides,
我只想给自己几个小时清静一下 I wanna be alone for a couple hours to kind of assemble myself.
难道这样的要求太过份了吗？ Is that such an extraordinary thing to want?
你能不能不要这么激动 Don't act so outraged, would you mind?
- 你还有什么指教？- 拜托你们 别吵了 - All right. Anything else? - Please, boys.
我们走吧 海伦 Come on, Helen.
- 你乖乖待在这里 - 我还能上哪去？ - You'll stay right here. - Where would I go?
所以我们回来时你会在这里？ Then you'll be here when we come back?
我不会离开这间公寓的 I told you I'm not leaving.
你答应过我们很多事 You've told us a good many things, Don.
你若是信不过我 就拿走钥匙 If you don't believe me, take my keys,
把我像狗一样反锁在家里 lock me in like a dog!
我们必须相信唐 We've got to trust Don.
除此之外 没别的办法了 That's the only way.
对不起 唐 我们走吧 海伦 Sorry, Don. Let's go, Helen.
- 唐 再见 - 再见 - So long, Don. - So long.
弯下腰来 Bend down.
- 这是什么？- 看起来像是威士忌 - What's this? - That? Whiskey, isn't it?
- 这东西怎么会在这？- 我也不知道 - How did it get there? - I don't know.
难不成这瓶酒是从天上掉下来 Dropped from some cloud?
或是有人故意把它吊在这里 Someone was bouncing it against this wall and it stuck there?
- 我想一定是我放的 - 一定是这样 没错 - I guess I must have put it there. - Yes, you must.
但我不记得是什么时候 But I don't remember when.
大概是上次犯酒瘾的时候放的 Probably during my last spell,
或者是更上一次 我也不知道 maybe the one before. I don't know.
别那样看着我 这不代表任何意义 Don't look at me like that. It doesn't mean a thing.
我根本不知道有酒在那里 I didn't know it was there.
就算知道 我也不会去碰它 Even if I had, I wouldn't have touched it.
- 那你一定不会介意我这么做 - 你要做什么？ - Then you won't mind. - Mind what?
你现在赶快跟海伦出门吧 Now, you trot along with Helen.
为什么？就为了那瓶酒？ Why? Because of that?
你认为我是为了那瓶酒 才希望你离开的？ You think I wanted you out of the apartment because of the bottle?
你太伤我的心了 I resent that like the devil!
你敢再这样质疑我 If there's one more word of discussion,
我们周末的假期就取消算了 I don't leave on your blasted weekend!
我们走吧 Let's go, Wick.
你会乖乖的 对不对 亲爱的 You'll be good, won't you, Don, darling?
对 你能不能别再这样紧迫盯人 Yes, Helen. Will you stop watching me all the time, you two?
让我用自己的方法来解决问题 Let me work it out my way.
我已经很努力在尝试了 I'm trying. I'm trying!
我们知道你很努力在做 我们也是一样 I know you're trying, Don. We're both trying.
你在努力戒酒 You're trying not to drink...
我在努力试着不去爱你 and I'm trying not to love you.
打个电话给农场 Call the farm, Don,
跟他们说 我们改成六点三十分到 and tell them we're taking the 6:30.
我会的 Sure.
再见 So long.
走吧 他不会有事的 Come on, Helen. He'll be all right.
要是他又跑出去买酒怎么办？ What if he goes out and buys another bottle?
他身上又没钱 With what? He hasn't a nickel.
而且也不会有酒吧或商店 There isn't a store or a bar
愿意让他赊帐 that'll give him five cents' worth of credit.
你确定他没有另一瓶酒藏在别处 Are you sure he doesn't have another bottle hidden?
没有 Not anymore.
我把公寓里他能藏酒的 I went over the apartment with a fine-toothed comb.
每一寸地方都搜过了 The places he can figure out.
是谁？是谁啊？ Who is it? Who is it?
是佛利太太 我是来打扫的 Mrs. Foley, come to clean up.
你一定得今天扫吗？ Well, not today. Does it have to be today?
我今天要换床单 还得吸地 I ought to change the sheets, and it's my day to vacuum.
- 你星期一再来吧 - 好吧 柏南先生 - Come on Monday. - All right, Mr. Birnam.
- 请问你弟弟在吗？ - 不 他不在 - Is your brother in? - No, he isn't.
那我的薪水呢？他没有留钱给我吗？ What about my money? Didn't he leave my money?
- 什么钱？- 我的十元薪水 他没有留给我吗？ - What money? - My ten dollars. Didn't he leave it?
- 或许有吧 他平常都把钱留在哪？- 在厨房 - Probably. And where would he leave it? - In the kitchen.
- 厨房的哪里？- 糖罐子里面 - Where in the kitchen? - In the sugar bowl.
你等等 Just a minute.
对不起 我没有找到 他一定是忘了 I'm sorry, Mrs. Foley. It isn't there. He must have forgotten.
真讨厌 我本来想拿 那些钱去添购点东西的 Oh, putt! I wanted to do some shopping.
- 你星期一来的时候就会有了 - 好吧 柏南先生 - You'll get it Monday. - All right, Mr. Birnam.
- 给我两瓶稞麦酒 - 很抱歉 柏南先生 - Two bottles of rye. - I'm sorry, Mr. Birnam.
- 你在抱歉什么？ - 你弟弟之前来过 - What are you sorry about? - Your brother was in.
他不会再帮你结账了 He said he's not gonna pay for you anymore.
上次已经是最后一次 That was the last time.
- 给我两瓶稞麦酒 - 你要什么牌的？ - Two bottles of rye. - What brand?
你明知故问 最便宜的 You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest.
我才不要什么十二年的陈年美酒 None of that 12-year-old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me.
- 反正酒就是酒 - 你要袋子吗？ - Liquor's all one anyWay. - You want a bag?
是的 我当然要袋子 Yes, I want a bag.
你弟弟说 就算你有钱 Your brother said not to sell you anything
也要我别卖酒给你 even if you did have the money.
但我不能阻止任何人买酒 除非他们未成年 But I can't stop anybody, can I? Not unless you're a minor.
我已经成年了 如果这样说能令你好过一点 I'm not a minor. And just to ease your conscience...
我买这些酒是为了装在打火机里面的 I'm buying this to refill my cigarette lighter.
是的 先生 Yes, sir?
谢谢 Thank you.
- 午安 戴文瑞区太太 - 哈啰 柏南先生 - Good afternoon, Mrs... Deveridge. - Hello, Mr. Birnam.
他就是我跟你说过那位有酗酒问题的房客 That's the nice young man who drinks.
我的挚友奈特今天过得如何？ How is my very good friend Nat today?
- 有事吗 柏南先生？- 这是个如此美好的午后 - Yes, Mr. Birnam? - This being an especially fine afternoon...
我决定向你求婚 I have decided to ask for your hand in marriage.
你听好 柏南先生 Look, Mr. Birnam...
看来答案是否定的 If that's your attitude, Nat,
那我只好点一杯科麦酒来借口酒浇愁了 I'll have to drown my sorrows in a jigger of rye.
- 只要一杯 一杯就好 - 不行 - Just one, that's all. - Can't be done, Mr. Birnam.
不行？让我来猜猜看为什么 It can't? Let me guess why.
我弟弟来打听过我的债务状况了 是吗？ My brother was here, undermining my financial structure.
我没有告诉他手表和袖扣的事 I didn't tell him about the wristwatch you left, or your cuff links.
真谢谢你 奈特 Thank you very much, Nat.
你会很高兴知道 我们今天将以现金交易 Today you'll be glad to know we can barter on a cash basis.
- 纯稞麦酒一杯 - 就是这样 - One straight rye. - That was the idea.
别擦掉它 Don't wipe it away, Nat.
让我保有我邪恶的小圆圈 Let me have my little vicious circle.
知道吗 圆圈是最完美的几何图形 You know, the circle is the perfect geometric figure.
没有开始 没有结束 No end, no beginning.
- 现在几点了？ - 三点四十五分 - What time is it? - Quarter of 4:00.
很好 我们有整个下午的时间 Good. We have the whole afternoon together.
五点四十五分的时候 麻烦务必知会我一声 Let me know when it's a quarter of 6:00. It's very important.
我要跟我老弟出发去乡下渡周末 I'm going to the country for a weekend with my brother.
哈啰 柏南先生 很高兴看到你回来 Hello, Mr. Birnam. Happy to have you back with the organization.
哈啰 葛萝丽亚 真希望我能带你一起去 奈特 Hello, Gloria. I wish I could take you along, Nat.
你 还有你的酒吧 You and all that goes with you...
不过 我已经准备好要长期抗战了 not that I'm cutting myself off from civilization altogether.
现在我们所面对的问题是 Now, of course, there arises the problem
要如何把它们运到乡下去 of transportation into the country.
要怎样才能不被那些皇家禁卫军识破我的走私计划 How to smuggle these two time bombs past the Royal Guard.
我会先把一瓶酒捲入周六晚报中 I'll roll one bottle in a copy of the Saturday Evening Post...
这样我弟弟就能轻而易举的找到它 so my brother can discover it like that.
这也是我所希望的 因为这样就能解除他的心防 And I want him to discover it because it'll set his mind at ease.
至于第二瓶 靠过来一点 The other bottle? Come here.
我会把它塞入我弟弟的皮箱中 That one I'm tucking into my brother's suitcase.
这样他就会毫无所知的乖乖帮我把它拎去 He shall transport it himself without knowing it, of course.
等到他忙着跟农场的人打招呼时 Then while he's greeting the caretaker...
我再把它取出来 藏在老苹果树的洞里 I'll slide it out and hide it in a hollow of the old apple tree.
柏南先生 你为什么不干脆戒酒一阵子算了 Mr. Birnam, why don't you lay off the stuff for a while?
其实我在那里时 或许一滴酒都不去碰它 I may never touch it while I'm there, not a drop.
你们所不了解的是 What you don't understand, all of you,
我必须随时要有酒在身边 is I've got to know it's around...
我不能被完全切断 that I can have it if I need it; I can't be cut off completely.
这才是最恐怖的一点 那样我会发疯的 That's the devil. That's what drives you crazy.
是啊 我认识很多这样说的傢伙 Yeah, I know. I know a lot of guys like that.
他们会买一瓶酒放在柜子上 They take a bottle and put it on a shelf.
他们只想看着它 All they wanna do is just look at it.
为了考验定力 他们会把酒瓶打开 They don't even take a corkscrew along, just to make sure.
然后突然之间 他们就抓起瓶 一饮而尽 Then all of the sudden, they grab the bottle, bite off the neck.
你再说这样扫兴的话 Nat, one more reproving word,
我就要找律师跟你离婚了 and I shall consult our lawyer about a divorce.
别忘了 五点四十五分提醒我 Don't forget, quarter of 6.00.
我要打好行李 乖乖的在家 迎接我老弟 My brother must find me home ready and packed.
能赏脸跳只舞吗？ Shall we dance?
柏南先生 你真是英俊潇舩 You're awfully pretty, Mr. Birnam.
我看你一定跟所有男士都这么说 I bet you tell that to all the boys.
那是当然的 不过只有跟你说时才是实话 Why, natch. Only with you, it's on the level.
- 请坐 - 不了 谢谢 - Sit down. - No, thanks.
我心领了 不过还是谢了 还有人在等我呢 Thanks a lot, but no, thanks. There's somebody waiting.
就他吗？看起来一脸呆相 Him? I bet he wears arch supporters.
他是我父母的老朋友 He's just an old friend of the folks.
他是位很可爱的绅士 请我喝了不少苏格兰威士忌 Lovely gentleman. He buys me dimpled Scotch.
他应该买红宝石和在加尔各答 He should buy you Indian rubies...
可以眺望恒河的别墅给你 and a villa in Calcutta overlooking the Ganges.
- 你别逗了 - 葛萝丽亚 拜托 - Don't be "ridic." - Gloria, please.
不要用那种小孩的流行用语跟我说话 Why imperil our friendship with these loathsome abbreviations?
如果你有兴趣的话 或许我等会可以拨点时间给你 I could make myself free for later on, if you want.
我还得出城去渡周末呢 改天吧 No, Gloria, I'm going away for the weekend. Some other time.
我随时候教 我就是喜欢你这一头浓密的头发 Any time. I'm just crazy about the back of your hair.
奈特 再给我来一杯 Nat, weave me another.
- 你还是少喝点吧 - 别担心我 - You'd better take it easy. - Oh, don't worry about me.
- 只要五点四十五分时 通知我一声就行了 - 好的 - Just let me know when it's a quarter of 6:00. - Okay.
来嘛 陪我一起喝一杯 Come on, Nat, join me. One little jigger of dreams.
- 不用了 谢谢 - 你不赞成别人喝酒？ - No, thanks. - You don't approve of drinking?
至少不是你这种喝法 Not the way you drink.
酒很伤肝 是不是？ It shrinks my liver, doesn't it, Nat?
酒也很伤肾 是的 我知道 It pickles my kidneys, yes.
但你知道它对我的头脑有何种影响吗？ But what does it do to my mind?
它让我的思想能自由自在的翱翔 It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar.
突然之间 我不再平凡 Suddenly, I'm above the ordinary.
我开始自信 极端的自信 I'm confident, supremely confident.
我可以安然的在尼加拉瓜大瀑布上走绳索 I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls.
我是杰出的精英 I'm one of the great ones.
我是米开朗基罗 用双手替摩西做雕像 I'm Michelangelo molding the beard of Moses.
我是描绘金色阳光的梵谷 I'm van Gogh painting pure sunlight.
我是弹奏着皇帝协奏曲的霍洛维兹 I'm Horowitz playing the "Emperor Concerto."
我是演技精湛的约翰巴瑞摩 I'm John Barrymore before the movies got him by the throat.
我是杰西詹姆士和他的两个兄弟 I'm JesseJames and his two brothers.
我是他们三人的综合体 All three of them!
我是莎士比亚 I'm W. Shakespeare.
而在那外面 那不再是第三大道 And out there, it's not 3rd Avenue any longer.
那是尼罗河 It's the Nile, Nat, the Nile...
河面上飘来的是埃及艳后的小船 and down it floats the barge of Cleopatra.
过来 Come here.
"紫色的帆 空气中弥漫着香气" "Purple the sails and so perfumed"
"连风儿都爱上了它们" "that the winds were lovesick with them."
"银色的船浆 随着悠扬的笛声而滑动" "The oars were silver, which to the tune offlutes kept stroke."
或许 他去了马蓝地或是奈特酒吧 Maybe he's at Mirandi's or Nat's Bar
那在四十二街上 or that place on 42nd Street.
是又怎么样？ What difference does it make?
- 你该不会真的要一个人去？- 我正是要如此 - You're not really going. - I certainly am.
- 你不能放任他独自一人四天 - 我当然能 - You can't leave him alone, not for four days. - Yes, I can.
老天 要是他独自一人 任何事都有可能发生 Oh, for heaven's sake, Wick. If he's left alone, anything can happen.
我这个星期六日都要上整天班 I'm tied up at the office every minute all Saturday, all Sunday.
我没办法看着他 I can't look out for him.
你也知道他会怎样 他可能会被车撞伤 You know how he gets. He'll be run over by a car.
也可能会被逮捕 他根本不知道自己在做什么 He'll be arrested. He doesn't know what he's doing.
他可能会抽着香烟睡着 他这样会被烧死的 A cigarette might fall from his mouth and he'd burn in bed.
该发生的就会发生 我倒希望他死了算了 Oh, Helen, if it happens, it happens, and I hope it does.
我过了六年这种日子 我已经受够了 I've had six years of this. I've had my bellyful!
- 你不是认真的 - 我就是 - Wick, you can't mean that. - Yes, I do.
我知道这很残忍 但是我不在乎 It's terrible, I know, but I mean it.
看在老天爷的份上 For heaven's sakes!
我们别再自欺欺人了 Who are we fooling?
我们什么都试过了 不是吗？ We've tried everything, haven't we?
我们试过跟他讲道理 由着他 We've reasoned with him. We've babied him.
寸步不离的看着他 我们甚至试着相信他 We've watched him like a hawk. We've tried trusting him.
你试着帮他多少次了？而我又狠狠打了他几次？ How often have you cried? How often have I beaten him up?
他总是搞得自己灰头土脸 Scrape him out of a gutter
而我们总是尽力帮他善后 and pump some kind of self-respect into him...
但他却一犯再犯 而且屡试不爽 and back he falls... back in every time.
他是个有病的人 He's a sick person.
那就好像他的心脏 It's as though there were something wrong
或是肺脏出了问题一样 with his heart or his lungs.
要是他患了心脏病 你绝不会不管他 You wouldn't walk out on him if he had an attack.
他需要我们的帮助 He needs our help.
可他不接受我们的帮助 他痛恨我们 He won't accept our help... not Don. He hates us.
他只想和他的酒瓶作伴 He wants to be alone with that bottle of his.
那是他现在唯一在乎的 It's all he gives a hang about.
我们何苦自欺欺人？他是个无可救药的酒鬼 Why kid ourselves? He's a hopeless alcoholic.
"白云覆盖的高塔 富丽堂皇的宫殿" "The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces...
奈特 Nat!
"庄严的寺庙和美丽的世界" The solemn temples, the great globe itself."
柏南先生 你该快点回家 现在已经很晚了 Mr. Birnam, you ought to go home. It's late.
"总有一天 我们所继承的必将逝去" "Yea, all which it inherits shall dissolve."
- 你快点回家吧 你弟弟还在等你呢 - 谁说的？ - You ought to go home on account of your brother. - Who says so?
你说你们约好了要一起出去的 你不记得了吗？ You said you're going away somewhere. Don't you remember?
- 现在几点了？- 六点十分 - What time is it? - Ten past 6:00.
你怎么不早说呢？ Why didn't you tell me?
我已经跟你说了半个小时了 What do you think I've been doing for half an hour?
别忘了你的零钱啊 Hey, hey! Your change!
计程车 计程车 Taxi! Taxi!
我可以顺道载你到中央车站 I'll give you a lift as far as Grand Central.
- 不用了 谢谢你 我要在这里等他 - 你疯了 - No, thanks. I'm gonna wait here. - You're crazy.
就因为我不放弃他？或许我是疯了 Because I won't give up? Maybe I am.
放弃他吧 给你自己一个机会 Let go of him, Helen. Give yourself a chance.
再见 韦克 Good-bye, Wick.
"唐 吾爱 我苦候多时 你却没有回来"
"一切请务必小心 别忘了好好睡觉"
"记得吃饭 请打电话给我 务必要打电话给我 海伦"
嗨 Hi.
我还以为你这个周末要出城去 I thought you was going away for the weekend.
你在干嘛？给我倒一杯酒 For Pete's sake, what are you doing? Come on and give me a drink.
马上就来 我正在准备我的午餐 Be right with you. Just fixing myself some lunch.
别弄了 先给我来杯酒吧 Stop it and give me a drink, for heaven's sake.
- 快啊 快啊 - 好吧 - Come on. Come on! - Okay.
- 你不能动作快点吗？- 来了 - Can't you hurry it up a little? - Here you are, Mr. Birnam.
昨晚那个小姐来找过你 That young lady stopped in last night looking for you.
- 哪个小姐？- 穿豹纹大衣的那个 - What young lady? - The one with the leopard coat.
- 然后呢？- 她装作一副好像刚好经过的样子 - Yeah? - She acted like she just happened to drop in...
但我知道 她是一间间酒吧在找你 but I know she was making the rounds after you.
你跟她说了什么？ What did you say to her?
我说你已经两个星期没来过了 Said you haven't been in for two weeks.
很好 我不能让她见我 That's good. I can't let her see me,
尤其是当我又开始酗酒时 not now when I'm off like this.
为什么你不干脆戒了算了 Why don't you cut it short?
我不能戒 Don't talk like a child. You can't cut it short.
这就好比旋转木马 Get on the merry-go-round,
除非机器停了 不然你就得坐下去 you gotta ride it all the way.
转啊转的 直到那刺耳的音乐停止 'Round and 'round till that blasted music wears itself out...
等到机器再也转不动而停下来为止 and the thing dies down and clunks to a stop.
- 你吃点东西吧 - 快拿开 - Hey, how about you eating some of this? - Take it away.
你总得吃点东西 You gotta eat something sometime.
再给我来一杯 Just give me another drink.
柏南先生 现在还是早上 Mr. Birnam, this is the morning.
那才是我最饥渴的时候 That's when you need it most, in the morning.
难道你不知道吗？ Haven't you learned that yet?
在夜晚 酒只是酒 在早上 酒则变成了解药 At night, the stuff s a drink. In the morning, it's medicine.

因为如果是黎明 你就死定了 Because if it's dawn, you're dead.
所有酒吧都关门了 The bars are closed,
所有卖烟酒的商店要到九点才开 the liquor stores don't open until 9:00...

既然如此 为何不试试短篇小说 Well, in that case, why don't you write short stories?
我有写过很多故事的第一段 I have some of those... first paragraph.
还写过一句剧本的前半幕 Then there's one half of the opening scene of a play...
故事发生在比萨斜塔 which takes place in the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
内容试图解释斜塔为何倾斜 It attempts to explain why it leans
还有为何其他的建筑也应该跟进 and why all sensible buildings should lean.

当然啰 来吧 Of course. Come on.
我知道 然后他们去到派对 Okay, so they go to that party,
他却喝得烂醉如泥 不省人事 对吧 and he gets stinko and falls flat on his face.
才怪 He does not.
这个时候 他已经深深的爱上了这个女孩 By this time, he's crazy about the girl.
他改喝番茄汁 整整一个星期都滴酒不沾 He drinks tomato juice. Doesn't touch liquor that whole week.
- 然后两个星期 六个星期 - 爱情的力量 是吧 - For two weeks, for six weeks. - In love, huh?
这就是为什么这个故事如此难写 That's what's gonna be so hard to write.
爱情是这个世界上最难描写的东西 Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about.
它是如此简单 你必须从细节去捕捉它 It's so simple. You gotta catch it through details...
像是早晨的阳光 like the early morning sunlight...
如何打在她屋前银灰色的水管上 hitting the gray tin of the rainspout in front of her house.
还有电话铃声 如何让你想起贝多芬的田园交响曲 The ringing of a telephone that sounds like Beethoven's "Pastoral."
你随身携带着 A letter scribbled on her office stationary

只因为那闻起来像俄亥俄州的紫丁香 because it smells like all the lilacs in Ohio.
奈特 再给我倒 Pour it, Nat.
他以为他痊愈了 He thinks he's cured.
如果他能找到一个工作 If he could only get a job now,
他们便能结婚 从此一帆风顺 they could be married and that's that.
但事情没那么容易 奈特 But it's not, Nat. Not quite.
- 因为有一天 那可恨的一天- 继续说 - Because one day, one terrible day... - Yeah, go on.
是这样的 女孩不断写信回托利多市给她的父母 You see, this girl has been writing to her people in Toledo.
他们也想见见这位年轻人 于是他们来到纽约 They wanna meet the young man, so they come to New York.
住进了曼哈顿大饭店 They stay at the Hotel Manhattan.
就在他们抵达的第一天 她决定将他介绍给父母认识 Their very first day, she's to introduce him to her parents.
他们约好一点钟 在饭店大厅见 1.00, lobby of the hotel.
这对纽约的标准来说是不够的 Oh, that wasn't enough, not for New York.
他帮我洗头 按摩头皮 还有剪指甲 He gave me a shampoo, scalp massage and a manicure.
我还以为他们会把我的鞋子剥掉 I thought they were going to tear off my shoes
顺便帮我涂指甲油 and paint my toenails.
我的早晨倒是很愉快 I had a lovely morning.
我四处逛了一下 Just did a little window shopping.
我想保留体力来应付这个午餐 Didn't want to get tired.
就为了见这个年轻人？ On account of meeting that young man?
老婆 你也太慎重了 Now, Mother.
那你干嘛去剪头发？ Who did you get that haircut for?
- 海伦怎么还不来啊 - 她很快就会到了 - I wonder what's keeping Helen. - She'll be here.
这个柏南小子 以前是康奈尔的学生 是吧 This Birnam fellow... went to Cornell, didn't he?
我记得是的 I believe so.
可他半途休学了 不知道为什么 But he never graduated. I wonder why.
- 他今年几岁？ - 三十三 - How old is he? - Thirty-three.
他没有工作 据我所知 他从来没工作过 He has no job. As far as I can find out, he never had one.
我真希望海伦能讲清楚一点 I wish Helen wasn't so vague.
或许他家里很有钱 Maybe he has a little money.
所以不必工作 老公 Some people do, you know, Father.
- 可是男人总该找点事做 - 他是个作家 - He ought to have a job anyway. - He's a writer.
他写过些什么？我从来没听过他的名字 What did he write? I never heard his name.
老公 放轻松 你总是往坏的方向想 Now, Father, relax. You always expect the worst.
我希望他了解 海伦是我们唯一的女儿 I hope he realizes that Helen's our only daughter.
我们该多知道一些他的事 We ought to know a few things about him.
我们早晚会知道的 It'll all come out...
像成长背景 对未来的期望 和他的宗教背景 his background, his prospects, his church affiliation.
是曼哈顿大饭店吗？ Hotel Manhattan?
麻烦你广播一下 海伦圣詹姆斯小姐 Could you please page Miss Helen St. James?
圣詹姆斯 是的 她就在大厅里 St. James. Yes, she's in the lobby.
海伦吗？我是唐 Helen? Don.
非常抱歉 Darling, I'm terribly sorry,
但是我要晚一点才会到 but I won't be able to get there for a while.
你帮我跟你父母说一声 Will you please go ahead and have your lunch
你们先吃吧 and apologize to your parents?
没什么大事 我晚点就到 Oh, nothing serious. I'll be there.
再见 Good-bye.
- 把灯关掉 - 唐？ - Turn off that light. - Don?
- 快关掉 - 你在搞什么啊 - Turn it off! - For heaven's sake, Don!
我以为你和海伦的父母约了见面 I thought you were with Helen and her father and mother.
发生什么事了？ What happened?
- 说啊 - 我无法面对他们 - Come on, Don. - I couldn't face it.
你无法面对什么？你没去见他们吗？ Couldn't face what? Didn't you go to see them?
我去了 一点整就去了 Certainly I went... 1:00 sharp.
我是见了他们 只是他们没见着我 I saw them, all right, only they didn't see me.
- 那是什么意思？- 他们是正经的好人家 - Why was that? - Such nice, respectable people.
我怎么能面对他们和他们所有的问题呢？ I couldn't face them, Wick. And all the questions they'd ask me?
我就是做不到 我太紧张了 I just couldn't do it, not cold.
所以我打算先喝一杯 就一杯 I had to have a drink first, just one...
可惜一杯对我来说根本不够 only the one didn't do anything to me.
于是你喝了一杯又一杯 你这个可怜的傻瓜 So you had another and another. You poor idiot, Don.
你怎么就学不会教训呢？一杯对你来说 Won't you ever learn that, with you, it's like stepping off a roof...
永远是不够的 and expecting to fall just one floor?
你能帮我打电话给她吗？ Will you call her, Wick?
你跟她说 你跟她说我病了 或者说我死了 Tell her something. Tell her I'm sick. Tell her I'm dead.
- 你能给她打电话吗？- 好的 我帮你打给她 - Will you call? - Yes, I'll call.
她一定跟他们说尽了我的好话 She must've written them a lot of nice things about me.
说我是如何的绅士 是个白马王子 What a gentleman I am, a prince.
- 他们住哪家饭店？- 曼哈顿大饭店 - Which hotel is it? - The Manhattan.
来自俄亥俄州托利多市的查尔斯圣詹姆斯夫妇 Mr. And Mrs. Charles St. James ofToledo, Ohio.
快起来 Get up, Don!
等等 海伦 Just a minute, Helen.
哈啰 韦克 唐在吗？ Hello, Wick. Is Don here?
- 唐？他不在 - 知道他可能上哪去了吗？ - Don? No. - Any idea where he could be?
他不是在跟你见面吗？ Wasn't he meeting you?
我们本来约好要吃午餐的 He was supposed to meet us for lunch...
但他来电说 他会晚到 and then he telephoned he'd be late.
我妈开始怀疑 他是我捏造出来的人物 Mother's beginning to think I just made him up.
你想他该不会发生什么事了吧 Do you suppose something happened to him?
别胡思乱想 Nonsense.
但要是他没事的话 也该打个电话来啊 But surely he'd have called back if he were all right.
- 他是从哪里打给你的 - 我不知道 - Where did he call you from? - I don't know.
我大概知道了 他一定是从别的城市打来给你的 I think I have an idea. He called you from out of town.
- 哪个城市？- 费城 - Out of town? Where? - Philadelphia.
他在那里做什么？ What's he doing there?
那里的杂志社有个职缺 There's an opening on the Philadelphia Inquirer.
唐跟他们联系了许久 The book section. Don wrote them, he wired them...
今早大概是坐火车去洽谈了 and I think this morning he just took an early train.
他一个字都没跟我谈过 Oh. Why, he didn't tell me a word about it.
其实我也不应该告诉你 I'm not supposed to tell you either.
- 他想要给你一个惊喜 - 是吗？是的 - He wanted it to be a surprise. - He did?
他或许有事耽搁了 Yes. He probably couldn't meet the right people right away.
你也是知道那种情形的 Missed a train. You know how it is.
要是他能找到工作 那就太棒了 It would be wonderful if he got the job and started working.
可是 话又说回来 Or would it, Wick...
这样他在费城 我在纽约 with him in Philadelphia and me in New York?
你可千万别告诉他 我这样说过 Don't ever tell him I said that though, will you?
- 我当然不会 - 我总是想不透 - Of course not. - I could never understand...
像唐这么有内涵 why somebody like Don... a person with such talent...
又这么有才气的人 such flashes of real brilliance...
或许我的立场并不公正 Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced.
- 你在干什么？- 它刚好滚了出来 - What are you doing, Wick? - Nothing.
- 是从沙发底下吗？- 是的 - From under the couch? - Yes, Helen.
你知道的 我认为唐搭乘了 You know, it's my guess that Don caught an early train and...
那个是唐的酒瓶吗？ Is that Don's bottle?
你为何那样说？ What makes you think that?
我们第一次见面时 也有一个这样的酒瓶 There was a bottle the first time we met.
- 是吗？- 它从唐的口袋里掉了出来 - There was? - Fell out of Don's pocket.
那瓶是我的 这瓶也是我的 That was for me, Helen. This one's mine too.
我干脆将家里的丑闻一起告诉你 我喜欢喝酒 You might as well hear the family scandal: I drink.
唐认为我喝得太多 Don thinks I drink too much.
我也答应他要戒了这个毛病 I had to promise to go on the wagon.
我把这酒瓶藏起来 就是为了不被他发现 That's why I hid the bottle so he wouldn't see it.
真抱歉 我不该问那么多问题 Oh, I'm sorry, Wick. I shouldn't have started asking questions.
毕竟那不关我的事 It's really none of my business.
没关系 Forget it, Helen.
我该赶紧赶回饭店去 I'd better be getting back to the hotel.
唐搞不好已经到了别担心 Don's probably there already. And don't worry, Wick.
- 我什么都不会说的 - 谢谢 再见 - I won't mention a word of it to him. Bye. - Thank you, Helen.
海伦 Helen!
对不起 我不能让你离开 至少不是像这样 I'm sorry, Helen. I can't let you go... not like this.
- 唐 - 唐 什么都别说 我送你下楼去吧 - Don! - Shut your mouth, Don. I'll take you downstairs.
感谢你为我编造了这个费城的故事 你很卖力 Thanks very much for your Philadelphia story, Wick. Nice try.
这酒和你真不相称 That looks so silly on you.
你别听他瞎说 Don't listen to him.
她不必听我们说 只要看看我们两个就好了 She doesn't have to. Just look at the two of us.
你们为什么要编这么多故事？ Yes. What is all this covering-up?
唐为了见你父母的事 All that happened is that Don was nervous
非常紧张 at the idea of meeting your parents...
- 所以他喝了点酒 如此而已 - 韦克 别装了 - and so he had a couple of drinks. - Come on, Wick.
反正她迟早都会知道真相 She'd have found out sooner or later.
你们两个都别说了 唐只不过是有点紧张 Stop it, both of you. Don's a little tight.
换作是别人也会喝上两杯 Most people drink a little.
很多人偶尔会喝醉 这没什么 A lot of them get tight once in a while.
是啊 只是那些幸运的人拿得起也放得下 Sure, the lucky ones who can take it or leave it.
其他的人 But then there are the ones
则是拿不起又放不下 who can't take it and can't leave it either.
我想要对你说的是 What I'm trying to say is,
我不仅是平常小酌而已 I'm not a drinker.
我根本就是个酒鬼 I'm a drunk.
他们甚至曾经把我送去医院关过 They had to put me away once.
- 他去的是戒酒中心 - 可惜一点用也没有 - He went to a cure. - Which didn't take.
知道吗 我们第一次见面时 You see, that first time we met,
为了你好 我应该当着你的面喝醉 I should've had the decency to get drunk just for your sake.
为了我好？我们现在讨论的是你啊 For my sake? We're talking about you.
- 真的有那么糟糕吗？- 是的 - Is it really that bad, Wick? - Yes, it is.
我们可以等你明天 Can't we go over this tomorrow, Don,
精神好一点的时候再来谈 when you're feeling more like yourself?
海伦已经听到实话了 而事实就是如此 Helen's heard the facts. That's all there is to it.
是的 我听到了 情况听起来的确不太好 Yes, I've heard them, and they're not too pleasant.
但事情有可能更糟糕 But they could be worse.
你毕竟不是强盗或杀人犯 After all, you're not an embezzler or a murderer.
你不过比较贪杯 那也不是什么要人命的事 You drink too much, and that's not fatal.
就算上次戒酒没有成效 也还有其他种治疗方法 One cure didn't take. There are others.
- 那是当然的 - 这听起来好像老调重弹 - Of course there are. - This has a familiar ring.
但你一定有酗酒的理由 But there must be a reason why you drink, Don.
我们可以去请教医师 The right doctor could find it.
这个用不着请教医师 Look, I'm way ahead of the right doctor.
我知道理由 理由就是我自己本身 I know the reason. The reason is me, what I am.
或者应该说 理由在于我的不足 Or rather, what I'm not...
酗酒弥补了我所不能成就的事 what I wanted to become and didn't.
你到底想成就什么？ What is it you want to be so much that you're not?
我想成为一个作家 A writer.
很蠢 是不是？ Silly, isn't it?
在学校里的时候 大家都认为我是天才 You know, in college, I passed for a genius.
大学的校刊没有我的文章 They couldn't get out the college magazine
是出不了刊的 without one of my stories.
我那时真行 简直可以媲美海明威 Boy, was I hot. Hemingway stuff.
我十九岁时攀上了事业的高峰 I reached my peak when I was 19.
我将一篇文章卖给亚特兰大月刊 Sold a piece to the Atlantic Monthly...
其后又被读者文摘转载 reprinted in the reader's Digest.
我既然有海明威的才华 那又何必要上大学呢 Who wants to stay in college when he's Hemingway?
我母亲买了一台全新的打字机给我 My mother bought me a brand-new typewriter...
我立刻搬到纽约 and I moved right in on New York.
之后 我写的第一篇文章并不太成功 Well, the first thing I wrote, that didn't quite come off.
第二篇 也不符合大众的胃口 And the second, I dropped. The public wasn't ready for that one.
我写了第三篇 第四篇 I started a third and a forth.
到了那个时候 已经有个家伙常常在我背后 Only by then, somebody began to look over my shoulder...
用小提琴般清澈的声音对我说 and whisper in a thin, clear voice...like the "E" string on a violin.
"唐柏南"他低语 "Don Birnam," he'd whisper.
"这不够好 你写的不够好" "It's not good enough, not that way.
"不如先喝个两杯 再来修饰看看" How about a couple of drinks, just to set it on its feet?"
所以我喝了两杯 So I had a couple.
那真是个好主意 Oh, what a great idea that was.
简直有天壤之别 That made all the difference.
突然间 我可以洞悉一切 Suddenly, I could see the whole thing.
在我眼前 清楚呈现一部优美流畅的小说 The tragic sweep of the great novel, beautifully proportioned.
但在我能将一切付诸于纸笔前 But before I could really grab it and throw it down on paper...
酒精的作用开始逝去 the drinks would wear off
所有灵感也像海市蜃楼一样消失 and everything would be gone like a mirage.
我心中只留下一股空虚 Then there was despair.
我为了抹去这股空虚而喝酒 I'd drink to counterbalance despair.
就这样一杯接一杯 And then one to counterbalance the counterbalance.
我枯坐在打字机前 I'd sit in front of that typewriter...
绞尽脑汁 就为了挤出一些像样的东西 trying to squeeze out one page that was halfway decent.
然后那个家伙又会跑出来 And that guy would pop up again.
什么家伙 你在说谁啊？ What guy? Who are you talking about?
那是另一个唐柏南 这里总共有两个我 The other Don Birnam. There are two of us, you know.
一个是酒鬼 一个是作家 Don the Drunk and Don the Writer.
酒鬼总会对作家说 "来吧 你这个蠢材" The drunk would say to the writer, "Come on, you idiot.
"把这台没用的破机器卖了" "Let's get some good out of that portable.
"我们把它拿去第三大道上的当铺" "Let's hock it. Let's take it to that pawn shop over on 3rd Avenue.
"至少能当十块钱" It's always good for ten dollars."
"再一杯美酒 再一次狂欢 再一次喧乐 再一次畅饮" Another drink, another binge, another bender, another spree.
他总是如此风趣 Such humorous words.
好几次 我试图离开那个家伙 但是没有用 I've tried to break away from that guy a lot of times, but... no good.
知道吗 有一次我甚至买了枪跟子弹 You know, once I even got myself a gun and some bullets.
我准备在我三十岁的生日那天结束自己生命 I was gonna do it on my 30th birthday.
子弹在这里 Here are the bullets.
那把枪被我拿去换成三瓶威士忌 The gun went for three quarts of whiskey.
另外一个唐 希望我们能先喝一杯 That other Don wanted us to have a drink first.
他总是希望我们能先喝一杯 He always wants us to have a drink first.
一个失败作家的失败自杀经验 The flop suicide of a flop writer.
好吧 或许你不是作家 All right, maybe you're not a writer.
但你可以试着做点别的 Why don't you do something else?
当然 我可以找个普通的工作 Sure, take a nice job.
会计 房屋销售 Public accountant, real estate salesman.
问题是 我没这个胆子 I haven't the guts, Helen.
大部份的人生活在宁静的绝望中 Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.
- 可是我办不到 - 但你的确是个作家 - I can't take quiet desperation! - But you are a writer.
你具有作家的每种特质 想像力 机智 同情心 You have every quality for it... imagination, wit, pity.
别傻了 面对现实吧 Come on. Let's face reality.
我今年三十三岁 却还靠着我弟弟的接济过活 I'm 33. I'm living on the charity of my brother.
食宿完全免费 Room and board free...
每星期有五毛钱买香烟 fifty cents a week for cigarettes...
偶尔还有看音乐表演的票 an occasional ticket to a show or a concert.
这全都要归功于他宽大的心胸 All out of the bigness of his heart.
而他既善良又有耐心 And it is a big heart and a patient one.
- 我只不过是- 闭嘴 - Don, I've only been carrying you along for... - Shut up, Wick!
我以前完全不事生产 I've never done anything.
现在完全不事生产 以后还是一样完全不事生产 I'm not doing anything. I never will do anything!
零 零 零 Zero, zero, zero!
现在换你闭嘴 我们会想办法改善你的问题 Now, you shut up. We'll straighten it out.
你听着 韦克很倒霉 生来注定是我兄弟 Look, Wick has the misfortune to be my brother.
但我俩只是萍水相逢 You just happened to walk in on this.
要是你还有点判断能力 If you know what's good for you,
就赶紧离开吧 you'll turn around and walk out again...
而且走快点 千万别回头 and walk fast and don't turn back.
你去煮三杯咖啡 煮浓一点 Why don't you make some coffee, Wick? Strong, three cups.
你听我说 帮你自己一个大忙 快走吧 Look, Helen, do yourself a favor. Go on. Clear out.
就因为我遭遇了劲敌？就因为你贪恋杯中物？ Because I've got a rival? Because you're in love with this?
你太不了解我了 You don't know me, Don.
我会继续奋战 努力奋战 弯下腰来 I'm gonna fight and fight and fight. Bend down.
好吧 All right.
这已经是三年前的事了 That was three years ago, Nat.
三年的持续奋战和保持信念是很漫长的 That's a long time to keep fighting, to keep believing.
她知道她是在玩火 可她就是不肯放手 She knows she's clutching a razor blade, but she won't let go.
三年了 Three years of it.
然后呢？这个故事会如何结束？ And what? How's it come out?
这我还没想出来 I don't know. I haven't figured that far.
要我告诉你吗？ Want me to tell you?
有一天 这家伙想通了 会去把他的枪买回来 One day, a guy gets wise to himself and gets back that gun.
要是他只有一块一毛钱 If he's only got $1.10,
也可以跑到帝国大厦 he goes to the top of the Empire State Building.
爬上顶楼 然后... Way up on top. And then...
或者你可以花五分钱 去地铁站跳铁轨 Or you can do it for a nickel in the subway under a train.
你真的如此认为？ You think so, Nat?
可是 海伦可能是对的 What if Helen is right
或许这家伙可以写出什么好东西来 and this guy sits down and turns out something good, but good?
那甚至可以终结他的酒瘾 And that pulls him up and snaps him out of it.
就你吗？我可不这么乐观 This guy? Not from where I sit.
你闭嘴 我要做给你看 我故事都想好了 你也听到了 Oh, shut up, Nat! I'm gonna do it now! It's all there. You heard it.
是的 柏南先生 Yes, Mr. Birnam.
这就是为什么我没去乡下 That's why I didn't go away on that weekend, see?
这样 我就可以独自一人跟我的打字机共处 So I can be all alone up there and sit down at my typewriter.
这一次 我要把我的故事写下来 This time I'm gonna do it, Nat! I'm gonna do it!
- 或许你会 - 谢谢 - Maybe you will. - Thank you, Nat.
- 我钱都付清了吗？- 是的 柏南先生 - Am I all paid up? - Yes, Mr. Birnam.
再见 我要回家了 Good-bye, Nat. I'm going home.
这一次 我都想好了 我要把它写下来 This time I've got it. I'm gonna write!
祝你好运 Good luck to you.

别跟我扯些别的 我只要一瓶稞麦酒 No cracks, no questions... just a quart of rye.
- 一共是两块一毛五 - 快点 我需要那些酒精 - That'll be $2.15. - Come on, I need that liquor.
酒我是非拿到手不可 你懂吗？ I want it, and I'm gonna get it, understand?
不管用什么方法都好 I'm gonna walk out of here with that quart of rye,
我要带着那瓶稞麦酒离开这里 one way or another.
是圣詹姆斯小姐吗？他回来了 Miss St. James? He's back.
现在就在楼上 我是戴文瑞区太太 He's upstairs. This is Mrs. Deveridge.
是的 他已经回到了公寓 Yes, he's back up in his apartment.
我听到他尖叫的声音 I heard him yelling.
唐 拜托你开门啊 Don, open the door. Open it, please!
唐 让我进去 我知道你在 Don, won't you let me in? I know you're there.
拜托你快开门 Please, open the door.
唐 你听得到我说话吗？让我帮你吧 Don, don't you hear me? I want to help you.
我绝对不会离开的 Don, I won't go away.
难道我非得下楼找工友 借备份钥匙不可吗？ Do I have to get thejanitor with a passkey to let me in?
- 戴夫 - 什么事 戴文瑞区太太 - Dave? Dave! - Yes, Mrs. Deveridge?
麻烦快点拿备份钥匙上来 快啊 Come on up with the passkey. Come on! Come on!
非常感谢你 Thank you very much.
你最好让我们陪你 You'd better let us come too.
你不能自己一个人进去 You can't go in there alone.
- 我不会有事的 谢谢 - 算了 我们走吧 - I'll be all right, thank you. - Come, Sophie, let's go.
- 唐 亲爱的 - 走开 海伦 - Don, darling. - Go away, Helen.
- 我是来帮助你的啊 亲爱的 - 不 不 - I'm here to help you, darling. - No, no.
你看看你 Look at you.
让我帮你站起来 把手臂放在我的肩膀上 You want to get up, Don. Put your arm on my shoulder.
我让你泡个澡 帮你刮刮胡子 You'll have a bath, and I'll help you shave,
然后你先吃点东西 再去睡觉 and you'll eat and sleep...
当韦克回来的时候 一切都会没事的 and when Wick comes back, everything'll be all right.
- 不 不要 - 怎么了？ - No, Helen! Don't look! - What's the matter, Don?
- 那面墙 - 什么墙？ - That wall! - What wall?
- 有老鼠跟蝙蝠 - 什么老鼠跟蝙蝠？ - The mouse and the bat. - The mouse and the bat?
就在你后面墙上的洞里 Yes, that hole in the wall right behind you.
我后面的墙上根本没有洞 - There's no hole in the wall, Don. - Yes, there is.
看啊 唐 拜托你看清楚 Come on. Come on, Don. Please look.
看到了吗？ You see?
一切都会没事的 我会陪你待在这里 Everything's going to be all right. I'll stay right with you.
宾恩说的没错 酒鬼看见的总是小动物 It's little animals. It's always little animals. That's what Bim said.
我不懂你在说些什么 唐 You're not making much sense, Don.
你知道奈特说我的下场会是如何吗？ And you know what Nat said about the ending?
像是这样 或是那样 Like this... or like that.
唐 唐 Don! Don!
你要去哪里啊 唐？ Where are you going, Don? Don!
"现金交换大衣及女士皮草"
把那张当票给我 All right, Don, give me the pawn ticket.
拜托你 不要大声嚷嚷 No scene, please.
快把当票给我 Just give me the pawn ticket.
我不要你现在去把皮草赎回来 I don't want you to claim it now.
那样太明显了 It'd look queer.
你会在乎那个当铺老板如何看 You're ashamed of what the pawnbroker will think?
你 难道你就不在乎我怎么看你吗？ It doesn't matter what I think.
韦克会帮你把大衣赎回来 Wick'll get you back your coat.
你为什么不拿我的手链或是薪水 You couldn't have taken my bracelet or my paycheck.
为什么偏偏要拿那件大衣 It had to be that coat.
就算那是我们的定情物又怎样 You mean the one that brought us together?
别傻了 Stop being sentimental.
相信我 唐 我已经不再在乎 Oh, I have, I assure you. It's finished. It's dead!
三年来 没有人能说服我放弃你 For three years they couldn't talk me out of you.
也只有我真正了解你 I was the only one that understood you.
我知道你内心一定存在着些什么 I knew there was a core of something. Well, there is a core...
现在我知道了 你是一只海绵 and now I know what it is: A sponge!
为了吸取更多酒精 And to soak it full you'll do anything
你愿意做尽所有自私无耻下流的事 that's ruthless, selfish, dishonest...
我叫你不要大声嚷嚷 I asked you not to make a scene.
那就把当票给我 Then give me the ticket!
现在不行 求求你 No, Helen, not now please.
那些钱你可以留着 I don't want the money.
你高兴去买醉就去吧 我不在乎了 Get drunk for all I care!
谢谢 Thank you.
刚才有位男士进来过 A gentleman came in a while ago.
你拿多少钱跟他交换那件大衣？ How much did you give him for that coat?
- 为什么？- 我要把它赎回来 那是我的大衣 - Why? - Well, I want it back. It's my coat.
这是你的？ It's your coat?
没关系 是我让他拿来当的 He had my permission.
你给了他多少钱？ How much did you give him?
他不要钱 他只想跟我换一件东西 He didn't want any money. He just wanted to swap it.
换东西？他想换什么？ Swap it? For what?
一件他很久以前拿来典当的东西 Oh, something he hocked here a long while back.
那是什么？ What?
一把枪 A gun.
一把枪 A gun?
如果你想把大衣赎回去 Now, if you want the coat back, I can...
"亲爱的韦克 至于我的告别式"
"我不求任何鲜花 只求有几个好笑话伴我上路"
"永别了 唐 绝笔"
什么事 海伦？ What is it, Helen?
你怎么了吗？ What's the matter?
没事 戴夫把备份钥匙给了我 Nothing. Dave gave me the keys.
我以为你不在家 I didn't think you were here.
你想要干嘛？ What do you want here?
外面的雨很大 我又叫不到计程车 It's just the rain is worse, and I couldn't get a taxi.
所以 我想上来 I thought perhaps
跟你借一件大衣 I could borrow a-a coat under the circumstances.
没问题 就拿我的风衣如何？ Sure. How 'bout my raincoat?
没想到这么多年之后 Funny that we should wind up
我们又再次回到当初相遇的场景 after all these years just as we met...
- 我拿着你的风衣 - 而我持有你的豹纹大衣 - I with your raincoat... - And I with your leopard coat.
我总是得到最好的买卖 I always got the best of the bargain.
再见了 海伦 Good-bye, Helen.
你在找些什么？ What are you looking for?
我在想也许 也许你能借我东西遮遮头发 Oh, I thought perhaps you might have something for my hair.
你要借我的黑帽子吗？ Would you care to wear my black derby?
任何你不要用的旧东西都行 Any old thing... any old scarf.
没问题 All right.
- 拿去吧 - 谢谢 - Here you are. - Thank you.
再见 So long.
在我打扫时所找到的威士忌 Do you know, Don, there was some whiskey in the bottle
瓶子里还有剩一点酒 after I cleaned up last night.
- 是吗？- 你想知道我把它放哪了吗？ - Was there? - Wouldn't you like to know where I put it?
- 不想 - 你不想来一杯吗 唐？ - No. - Don't you want a drink, Don?
不想 No.
就在这里 你来一杯嘛 只要一杯就好 Here it is, right here. Why don't you have one? Just one.
你到底想干什么 What are you up to?
没什么 我只是很后悔刚才那样跟你说话 Nothing. I'm just ashamed of the way I talked to you:
我简直就像一个自私 小心眼 又不体贴的乡巴佬 Like a narrow-minded, insensitive, small-town teetotaler.
我跟你说了我不想喝酒 至少现在不想 I told you I don't feel like a drink, not now.
来嘛 唐 只要一杯 Come on, Don. Just one.
我陪你喝一杯 反正我不急着走 I'll have one with you. I'm in no hurry.
今天我办公室刚好很闲 This is my easy day at the office.
海伦 在韦克回来之前 Look, Helen, there are a few things I want to put in order
我有几件事想先处理好 before Wick comes.
- 让我留下来 求求你 - 不行 - Let me stay... please. - No.
我不想无礼 可是你必须离开 I don't want to sound rude, but I'm afraid you'll have to leave now.
拿去 唐 Here, Don.
你真是太善良了 You're very sweet.
再见 别让我干耗在这里 Good-bye. Don't let me bend for nothing.
你需要喝一杯 唐 我知道你很想喝酒 You need this, Don. Drink it. I want you to drink it.
我会买更多酒给你 你要多少我就买多少 I'll get you some more. I'll get you all you want!
你说的这是什么话 What kind of talk is that?
我宁愿要一个活的酒鬼 也不要一具冰冷的死尸 It's just that I'd rather have you drunk than dead.
- 是谁要死了？- 你别骗我了 - Who wants to be dead? - Stop lying to me.
把枪给我 Give it to me.
好了 你走吧 拜托你 别再阻止我 All right, now go. And no fuss, please.
也别打电话给邻居 And don't call in the neighbors.
这对大家都没好处 It won't do any good, I promise you.
我不会的 因为你的心意已定 I won't. You've made up your mind.
但求求你 告诉我为什么 But could you tell me why?
因为这对大家都是最好的 Because it's best all around, for everybody...
对你 对韦克 对我也是 for you, for Wick and for me.
那不是真的 我们爱你 But we love you, Wick and I.
那就算为我吧 我又自私自利了 All right then, for me. Selfish again.
唐 这样的遗言未免太悲伤了 That's a sad, final word, Don.
不如这样看吧 我这样做只是为了慎重起见 Look at it this way, Helen: This is just a formality.
反正唐柏南早已经死了 Don Birnam is dead already.
他这个周末就已经死了 He died over this weekend.
是吗？他是怎么死的？ Did he? What did he die of?
死因很复杂 包括酒精 道德的贫脊症 Of a lot of things... of alcohol, of moral anemia...
恐惧 羞耻感 还有酒精中毒症 of fear, shame, d.t.'s.
你是说那个唐柏南啊 Oh, that Don Birnam.
那你现在要杀的是另外一个吗？ And now you want to kill the other one?
什么另外一个 What other?
是你自己跟我说 有两个唐柏南的 There were two Dons, you told me:
一个是酒鬼 另外一个是作家 The drunk and the writer.
我们别在言语上玩花样了 Let's not go back to a fancy figure of speech.
这个世界上只有一个唐柏南 There's only one Don.
- 我已经完蛋了 - 唐 - He's through. - Oh, Don.
我没事 我还有足够的力气来扣扳机 I'm all right. I still have enough strength left.
我知道 我看得出来 I know you have. I can see it.
别把力气浪费在扣扳机上 Don't waste it by pulling a trigger, Don.
让我结束这一切吧 Oh, let me get it over with.
你难道希望我再给你一个我无法遵守的承诺吗？ Or do you want another one of my promises that I never keep?
我不要你的承诺 I don't want you to give your promise
你除了你自己之外 不需要给任何人承诺 to anybody but Don Birnam.
太迟了 我不知道如何重新开始 It's too late! I wouldn't know how to start!
重新开始的唯一方法在于放弃一切 The only way to start is to stop.
你唯一的解药就是彻底放弃酒精 There is no cure besides just stopping.
- 我做不到 - 可是有那么多人成功过 - Can't be done. - Other people have stopped.
那些人有理想及抱负在支持他们 People with a purpose, with something to do!
但你也有你的才华和野心啊 You've got talent and ambition!
才华？野心？那些早就死了 它们都淹死了 Talent, ambition... that's dead long ago. That's drowned!
它们现在正挺着大肚子 在酒精打泊中随波逐流 That's drifting around with a bloated belly on a lake of alcohol.
不 你错了 它们都还存在 No, it isn't. You still have it!
别试着拖延时间 海伦 这已经太迟了 Quit trying to stall me, Helen. It's too late.
我的心中已经不再有文采 There's no more writing left in me. It's gone.
你期望什么？一个奇迹吗？ What do you expect... a miracle?
是的 是的 我只希望能让你了解 Yes, yes, yes! If I could just make you un... -
- 谁啊？- 是我 柏南先生 - Who is it? - It's me, Mr. Birnam.
- 有事吗 奈特？- 我带了点东西来 - What is it, Nat? - I got somethin'for you, Mr. Birnam.
- 希望我没有打扰到你 - 请说 - I hope I ain't intrudin'. - What is it?
你知道你上次发生意外之后 When you had that accident... afterward,
我在尼罗河上捞起了这个 I found this floatin' around on the Nile.
它是台很棒的机器 She writes pretty good.
我给它上了点油 I oiled her up a little,
不过 我照顾它可不是为了让你再把它拿去典当 and I didn't oil her up so you can hock her!
- 把它给我吧 奈特 - 你好啊 小姐 - I'll take it, Nat. - Hello, miss.
- 谢谢你 奈特 - 俄亥俄州的紫丁香还好吧 - Thank you, Nat. - How are all them lilacs in Ohio?
你看 唐 这就是证明 Well, Don, here it is.
你现在有什么好说的？ What do you say now?
你在说什么？这个 Say about what?
某人从某处把它送了回来 为什么呢？ Someone, somewhere sent it back. Why?
因为他希望你勇敢活下去 Because he means you to stay alive.
因为他希望你继续写作 Because he wants you to write.
是你说希望奇迹出现的 I didn't ask for a big miracle.
你要我用这双颤抖的手和醉昏了的脑袋来写作吗？ Write with these hands and a brain that's all out of focus?
你会清醒过来的 It'll clear up. You'll be well.
我只会呆坐在这里 害怕的盯着白纸发呆 I'll be sitting there, staring at that white sheet, scared!
不 你不会的 你只是忘记了身体健康的感觉 No, you won't. You've forgotten what it feels like to be well.
我该写什么好呢 What am I gonna write about?
写你准备要写的东西 What you've always wanted to write.
我找到的那张纸去哪了？ Where was the page I found?
"瓶中物 唐柏南的长篇小说" "The Bottle... A Novel by Don Birnam."
这是个什么样的故事 What was that to be?
这是一个悲惨的故事 About a messed-up life...
主角是一个男人 一个女人和一个酒瓶 about a man and a woman and a bottle...
内容包括恶梦 恐惧和耻辱 about nightmares, horrors, humiliations...
全是些我想遗忘的东西 all the things I want to forget.
那就把它写下来吧 Put it all down on paper.
这样 你就可以摆脱它们了 Get rid of it that way.
把这个故事传达给那些需要帮助的人 Tell it all to whom it may concern,
而那些人不在少数 and it concerns so many people, Don.
是啊 Yeah.
我去做早餐 I'll fix us some breakfast.
我们有非常多牛奶 We have quite a supply of milk.
你可以看到 我连第一行都写不出来 You'll notice I didn't even find a first line.
你写不出来 Of course you couldn't write the beginning,
是因为你并不知道这故事会如何结束 because you didn't know the ending.
可是现在 Only now...
现在你知道结局了 only now you know the ending.
写好后我要寄一份给宾恩 I'm going to send one copy to Bim...
再寄一份给那位借我大衣的医生 还要寄一份给奈特 one to the doctor who loaned me his coat and one to Nat.
你能想像韦克站在书店前 Imagine Wick standing in front of a bookstore...
看到用我的小说 所高高舼起的金字塔 a great big pyramid of my books... "A Novel by Don Birnam."
他会说"那是我小弟" "That's by my brother, you know."
我男朋友是个作家 That's by my fellow.
我早跟你们说过了 Didn't I always tell you?
我要把这个周末写下来 I'm gonna put this whole weekend down, minute by minute.
为什么不呢？ Why not?
- 我要写下我是如何站在那里打包 The way I stood in there, packing my suitcase.
可是我的心却不在行李箱上 Only my mind wasn't on the suitcase,
我不在乎渡假的事 and it wasn't on the weekend.
我也不关心要带哪件衬衫去旅行 Nor was it on the shirts I was putting in the suitcase, either.
我的心悬在那窗外 My mind was hanging outside the window.
它就吊在窗台旁十八呎下的位置 It was suspended, just about 18 inches below.
在外面那一望无际的水泥丛林里 And out there in that great big concretejungle...
我在想有多少人和我一样 I wonder how many others there are like me.
是个可怜又迷惑的家伙 因为渴望酒精而痛不欲生 Poor bedeviled guys on fire with thirst...
在其他人眼中 我们是可笑又可悲的人物 such comical figures to the rest of the world
我们生存的目的 as they stagger blindly...
只为了能再一次狂欢 再一次喧乐 再一次畅饮 towards another binge, another bender, another spree.
