第一季 第三集
奥萝拉·费恩在组织另一次慈善活动吗 Aurora Fane is organizing another charity?
上次之后还要办 她一定是 She must be a glutton for punishment
受虐狂 after the last time.
说是这么说 但那次义卖筹到了两千多美元 You say that, but the bazaar made over $2,000,
简直闻所未闻 which no one's ever heard of.
她和安妮·莫里斯就是个笑柄 She and Anne Morris were a laughingstock.
有意思 This is interesting.
你知道一位叫克拉拉·巴顿的女士吗 Do you know a woman called Clara Barton?
美国红十字会创始人
-不知道 -打扰一下 - No. - Excuse me.
什么事 斯科特小姐 What is it, Miss Scott?
有封信需要你签名 Just a letter for you to sign.
我想在午餐前把它寄出去 But I'd like to get it into the post before luncheon.
总 监 苏葵
很好 Quite right.
巴顿小姐开始在美国筹办 Miss Barton has started a branch of the Red Cross
红十字会的分会了 in the United States.
她要在奥萝拉家演讲 She's giving a talk at Aurora's house.
我想听巴顿小姐演讲 I'd like to hear Miss Barton.
-我能跟你一起去吗 -当然 - May I come with you? - Of course.
谢谢你 斯科特小姐 Thank you, Miss Scott.
看啊 Oh, look.
罗素小姐出门了 Miss Russell is going out.
和她那个烦人的家庭教师 With her wretched governess.
她怎么能受得了 How can she stand it?
我不会谴责罗素夫人 I will not criticize Mrs. Russell
仅有的美德 for her only virtue.
至少她能控制住她女儿 At least she keeps her daughter under control.
更像是把女儿当成囚犯 Under arrest, more like.
我不知道为什么 I wonder why her mother
她母亲还没有让她正式亮相 hasn't brought her out properly yet.
因为罗素夫人还不确定 Because Mrs. Russell is not sure
她的倾慕者是否能把舞厅填满 she can fill the ballroom.
看到了吗 You see?
我对这种事的了解比你们想像的要多 I know more about these things than you give me credit for.
你知道如果你母亲怀疑我 我就会失业 You know I'd lose my job if your mother even suspects.
我知道如果她发现 I know you'll lose your job if she finds out
你从餐厅里偷白兰地 你就会失业 you've been taking brandy from the dining room.
这纯粹是药用的 It was purely medicinal.
不管怎样 这个年轻人是谁 Who is this young man anyway?
阿奇·鲍德温 Archie Baldwin.
他很值得尊敬 He's very respectable.
他祖父是位大使 His grandfather was an ambassador.
他父亲是银行家 他也是 His father is a banker, and so is he.
他母亲那边的亲戚是乘五月花号来的 His mother's people came over on the "Mayflower."
如果所有声称 Hmm, if everyone who claimed
自己乘过五月花号的人说的都是真话 to be on the "Mayflower" really was,
那它一定跟白星航运公司的船一样大 it would have to be the size of a White Star liner.
白星航运公司 英国专门建造巨轮的航运公司
他住在哪里 Where does he live?
35街 35th Street.
而且他父母正在纽波特建造避暑别墅 And his parents are building a summer home at Newport.
那为什么不直接把他介绍给你母亲 Well, why not just introduce him to your mother?
-他听着不错 -没那么简单 - He sounds ideal. - It's not as simple as that.
我们到了 Here we are.
帕斯彻先生要在他百老汇的剧院里 Mr. Pasture's opening a magic lantern show
办一场魔术灯光表演 in his theater on Broadway.
这周五开始 It starts this Friday.
有意思 Fancy.
你想在休假的那晚去看吗 Would you like to see it on your night off?
什么 我一个人去吗 What, all alone?
那晚我也可以休假 That could be my free night too.
如果那晚我们不招待客人 Mr. Bannister wouldn't mind,
班尼斯特先生就不会介意 not if we aren't entertaining.
我得考虑一下 I'll have to think.
别考虑太久 这个表演只办一周 Don't think too long. It's only running a week.
去吧 也许你会喜欢 Go on. You might enjoy it.
班尼斯特先生 你不介意 对吗 Mr. Bannister, you wouldn't mind, would you,
如果这周布丽姬特和我同一个晚上休假 if Bridget and I had the same free night this week?
那我就得一个人上晚餐了 I would have to serve dinner alone.
但只要我晚上休假你就得一个人上晚餐 But you do that when I have a free evening anyway.
现在的年轻人真会享受生活 Today's young live for pleasure.
你们不知道什么是辛勤工作 You don't know what hard work is.
而我们不知道什么是享乐 And we don't know what fun is.
星期五行吗 What--what about Friday?
我会感激不尽的 布丽姬特也是 I'd be very grateful. So would Bridget.
我还没答应去呢 I haven't said I'll go yet.
但你知道你想去 But you know you want to.
我以为你几小时前就走了 I thought you'd gone hours ago.
我想写完几封信 I wanted to finish some letters.
新火车站已经一切就绪了吗 Is everything set with the new station?
法案已经通过了 The bill's been passed.
股价高吗 And the stocks are high?
比天还高 As high as the sky.
那这是怎么回事 Then what's this about?
他们什么意思 有传言说 What do they mean, there's a rumor that the law
-法案可能会被撤销 -让我看看 - may be rescinded? - Let me see that.
如果法案被撤销了 车站还能继续建造吗 If it's canceled, will the station go ahead anyway?
不能 No, it can't.
格拉迪斯去哪了 Where's Gladys?
她跟格兰特小姐出去了 怎么了 She went out with Miss Grant. Why?
这样不对 It isn't right, you know.
格兰特小姐也许人不错 但她就是个狱卒 Miss Grant may be nice, but she's a jailer.
不管你喜不喜欢 格拉迪斯都成年了 And Gladys is a grown woman whether you like it or not.
-她这个年纪的女孩该结婚了 -然后悔恨终身 - Girls get married at her age. - And live to regret it.
我心里有数 乔治 I know what I'm doing, George.
我该走了 I should go.
你料到会发生这种事吗 Were you expecting that?
没有 No.
但我也不觉得意外 But it doesn't surprise me.
你想告诉我什么 What are you trying to tell me?
你没必要用跟车夫说话的语气跟我说话 There's no need to talk as if I were your chauffeur.
等我说完 你会希望你是我的车夫 When I've finished, you'll wish you were my chauffeur.
是你叫我来的 You summoned me here.
你来是因为如果你不来 You came because if you had not,
我就会出现在你的办公室 I would have turned up at your place of business
向所有想听的人大声说出真相 and shouted the truth to anyone who'd listen,
市参议员是骗子 that the aldermen are liars
你言而无信 and you have reneged on your deal.
我应你的要求 来你的办公室 I've come to your office at your request
是为了表示我的诚意 罗素先生 to show goodwill, Mr. Russell.
我不会留在这被你侮辱 I will not stay and be insulted.
但我同意 But I agree.
你该知道民意已经 It is time you knew public opinion has moved away
不站在你这边了 from your position.
换句话说 In other words,
你们都用保证金买入股票 you all bought shares on margin,
法案通过后 大赚了一笔 passed the law, and made a fat profit.
我想你们现在已把股票全都抛空了 Now I imagine you've sold them short.
你们故意撤消自己的法案 And you mean to cancel your own law,
赌定股价会暴跌 betting that the value will plummet.
让后当股价触底时再买回来 Then you'll buy them again when they hit rock bottom
在此过程中 将你们的不义之财翻两至三倍 and in the process double or triple your ill-gotten gains.
这纯属无端揣测 That is pure speculation.
我甚至不知道我们会撤销该法案 I don't even know if we will cancel the law.
但在城里建座新火车站的想法 But the idea of having a new rail station in the city
没有我们希望的那样收到大众欢迎 isn't as popular as we'd hoped it might be.
我明白了 I see.
你们真的只关心公共利益 So you're really only concerned with the common good.
参议员是公仆 The aldermen are public servants.
我们必须为公众服务 We must serve the public.
我没想到会这样 I didn't see this coming.
我承认 I admit it.
我以为你们是体面人 I thought you were honorable men.
当然 没体面到会错失大赚一笔的机会 Not too honorable to miss the chance of a fat buck, of course,
而不是一群贪婪肮脏的贼 but not greedy, dirty thieves.
罗素先生 Mr. Russell.
我以为我才是那个会使诈的人 I thought I was the one who might throw a curveball.
现在看来 And now look.
你们早已设下陷阱等我 You've caught me out.
再见 罗素先生 Good day to you, Mr. Russell.
再见 莫里斯先生 Good day to you, Mr. Morris.
最后 我想说 It only remains to say
希望你们能和我一样 that I hope you can see, as I can,
相信我们很有可能建立 the vast possibilities for building
世界上有史以来最伟大的 one of the grandest humanitarian institutions
人道主义机构 the world has ever seen
以救援世界各地的人们 for the relief of people everywhere.
巴顿小姐 Miss Barton,
如果海斯总统之前拒绝支持 if President Hayes declined to support the establishment
拉瑟福德·伯查德·海斯 美国第19任总统
设立美国红十字会 of an American Red Cross
加菲尔德总统也拒绝签字 and President Garfield never managed to sign either,
詹姆斯·艾伯拉姆·加菲尔德 美国第20任总统
你凭什么认为你现在能得到支持 what makes you think you can find support now?
恐怕一系列不幸事件已改变了华盛顿的局面 I'm afraid unfortunate events have altered things in Washington.
而且亚瑟总统可能更支持 对吗 And President Arthur may be more enthusiastic?
切斯特·A·亚瑟 美国第21任总统
有理由这样认为 是的 I have reason to believe so, yes.
这只是基本介绍 This has been an introduction only.
那个人是谁 Who's that man?
感谢你们耐心聆听 And I thank you for your courtesy.
如果想了解更多 请与我联系 If you would like to know more, then please keep in touch.
感谢巴顿小姐 Our thanks to Miss Barton,
我们的战地天使 our very own angel of the battlefield.
她已有卓越的成就 She has already achieved a great deal.
如今作为美国红十字会的负责人 And now at the head of the American Red Cross,
她注定会取得更多成就 she is destined to do a great deal more.
我能自我介绍一下吗 Might I present myself?
我想你是布鲁克小姐 艾达·布鲁克小姐吗 You are Miss Brook, I think. Miss Ada Brook?
是的 这是我侄女玛丽安·布鲁克小姐 I am. And this is my niece, Miss Marian Brook.
我是科尼利厄斯·埃克哈德三世 I am Cornelius Eckhard III.
我刚才就觉得是你 I thought it was you.
我已有多年没叫过你的名字了 艾达 I'm afraid it's been too many years for me to call you Ada?
但这太感人了 But this is too touching.
不是这样的 Oh, not really.
我们年轻时在宾夕法尼亚州就认识 We knew each other when we were young in Pennsylvania.
在生活让我们各奔东西之前 Before life drove us to the four corners of the Earth.
你在纽约住很久了吗 Have you been in New York for long?
没有 我住在康涅狄格州 No, I settled in Connecticut.
但现在 我在那里已没任何羁绊 But now I have nothing to hold me there.
所以我来到了纽约 So I came to the city.
你为什么来这个集会 What brings you to this gathering?
是对红十字会感兴趣吗 An interest in the Red Cross?
并不完全是 莫里斯夫人是我外甥女 Not entirely. Mrs. Morris is my niece.
当她说你会来这里时 And when she said you'd be here,
我想看看是否能重新唤起我们昔日的友情 I was tempted to see if we might revive an old friendship.
看来并不是太昔日 Not very old, surely.
你姐姐怎么样 How is your sister?
她现在怎么称呼 What--what is she called now?
她在大概四十年前嫁给了范莱茵先生 She married Mr. Van Rhijn almost 40 years ago.
请代我向她问好 Please give her my regards.
他必须来拜访我们 亲自问好 He must call on us and give them himself,
对吧 艾达姑姑 mustn't he, Aunt Ada?
再会 女士们 Ladies.
我们能请你参加慈善活动吗 Can we persuade you to the cause?
我会参加 但还是那句话 I am persuaded, but, once again,
如果巴顿小姐需要钱 if it's money Miss Barton needs,
我们为什么不邀请罗素夫人呢 why don't we ask Mrs. Russell?
别提那个名字 Don't speak that name.
阿斯特夫人在屋里时不要提 Perhaps not when Mrs. Astor's in the room.
莫里斯先生告诉我 Mr. Morris tells me
罗素先生可耻地羞辱了他 Mr. Russell has insulted him disgracefully.
什么 为什么 What? Why?
为什么 因为他不是位绅士 亲爱的 Why? Because he is not a gentleman, my dear,
正如我一直告诉你的那样 as I keep telling you.
事情也许有另一面 There may be another side to it.
你也太通情达理了 You are too reasonable to live.
我必须去照顾客人了 Now I must see to my guests.
但股价下跌他们怎么挣钱 But how will they make money when the stock falls?
相信我 他们会的 Trust me, they will.
股价下跌后 他们会再次买入 And when they have fallen, they'll buy them again,
重新通过法案 第三次大捞一笔 repass the law, make a third fortune,
并且偷走我的公司 and steal my company.
我很自责 I blame myself.
我放松了警惕 My guard was down.
-你不能反抗吗 -在法庭上不行 - Can't you fight it? - Not in court.
这不合法 It's not illegal.
一定有其他办法 There must be other ways.
如果我这么做 我们的大部分资产都将有风险 If I do, I will have to put a large part of our capital at risk.
那就这样吧 Very well.
你明白我在说什么吗 You understand what I'm saying?
我们可能失去这一切 All this may be lost.
这都是你赚来的 You've made it once.
你想的话还可以再赚回来 You can make it again if you have to.
有些时候 亲爱的 There are moments, my dear,
你真令人叹为观止 when you are quite marvelous.
没有彼此欣赏的话 也毫无价值 Useless, each without the other.
你要上楼换衣服吗 Are you going up to change?
是啊 你也该去换衣服了 I am. And so should you.
是这样 我想请你帮个忙 The thing is, I have a favor to ask.
你是说你想做什么 You mean you want something
却没问过你母亲 and you haven't asked your mother.
我的确记得埃克哈德一家 I do remember the Eckhards.
他们家有两个男孩和一个女孩 There were two boys and a girl.
我似乎记得他们 I seem to recall they sold up
在我来纽约后不久变卖了家产 not long after I'd left for New York.
他说话听起来像个旧相识 He talked like an old beau.
不过我当时就只是个小女孩 Well, you know, I was just a girl.
不管怎么说 埃克哈德没有钱 Anyway, Eckhard had no money,
所以爸爸不喜欢他 which did not endear him to Papa.
没有钱 也没有前途 No money and no prospects.
恐怕是这样 I'm afraid not.
真不知他现在想干什么 I wonder what he wants now.
他很孤独 He's lonely.
他刚到这个城市 He's just arrived in the city,
所以他希望找到一些老朋友 and he hopes to find some old friends.
所以一直以来 他都期盼再见到艾达吗 So all this time, he's dreamed of seeing Ada again?
没必要这么刻薄 There's no need to be unkind.
也许他是真的想见艾达姑姑 Maybe he has dreamed of seeing Aunt Ada.
这有什么不对呢 What's wrong with that?
奥斯卡 亲爱的 没想到你会回来 Oscar, dear, I didn't expect you.
我要和拉里·罗素一起吃晚餐 Oh, I'm dining with Larry Russell.
在哪 Where?
当然是在他父母家 At his parents' house, of course.
你说这些话时 就像在对我捅刀子 When you say those words, you stab me in the side.
那真是万幸 你的皮像犀牛一样厚 Then it's lucky you have the skin of a rhinoceros.
我们上楼换衣服吧 亲爱的 Shall we go up and get changed, dear?
你的女主人什么时候下楼 When will your mistress be down?
马上了 老爷 In a moment, sir.
还有什么事吗 Is there something else?
就是夫人似乎认为 Only that Madam seemed to suggest
这对您来说是个重要时刻 this is an important time for you.
是吗 Did she?
我想是吧 Well, I suppose it is.
我只是想让您知道 I just want you to know that
我们都非常支持您 we are all very much on your side.
谢谢 Thank you.
你向来都对银行业感兴趣吗 Were you always drawn to banking?
本来没什么兴趣的 That didn't come into it.
美国曼哈顿信托是于1797年 The United Manhattan Trust was founded in 1797
由阿诺德·范莱茵与其他人一同创立 by Arnold van Rhijn, among others.
从那之后我们就一直在运作这个信托了 We've been at it ever since.
我明白了 真是个了不起的传统 I see. What a wonderful tradition.
这样你就不用浪费时间 So you don't have to waste your time
去考虑你想做什么了 worrying about what you want to do.
已经决定好了 It's already decided.
范莱茵先生只是在谦虚罢了 Mr. Van Rhijn is only being modest.
不 我没有 No, I'm not.
我们能说说阿奇·鲍德温吗 Can we talk about Archie Baldwin?
这话题对范莱茵先生来说会很无聊 It would be very dull for Mr. Van Rhijn.
我不介意 I don't mind.
我认识阿奇 他阿姨是我的教母 I know Archie. His aunt is my godmother.
但他...对你来说不会太年轻了点吗 But isn't he, uh, a little young for you?
他只是个朋友 He's just a friend.
不过父亲想请他来吃晚餐 But father wants to ask him to dine.
-什么 -我说的是我不反对 - What? - I said I had no objection.
但她得征求你的同意 But she had to get your permission.
我来决定谁能来这个家里吃饭 I will decide who comes to dinner in this house.
他是个很体面的人 He's quite respectable.
他母亲那支的祖辈 A forebear on his mother's side
是参加约克镇战役的一名军官 was an officer at the battle of Yorktown.
是吗 Indeed.
你祖上有人打过约克镇战役吗 母亲 Did your ancestors fight at Yorktown, Mother?
还是他们太忙了 忙着在凯里郡挖土豆 Or were they too busy digging potatoes in Kerry?
你对母亲说话礼貌点 You will be civil to your mother.
记住 她的祖辈也是你的祖辈 Remember, her ancestors are your ancestors too.
是的 父亲 Yes, Father.
新铁路怎样了 先生 How is it going with the new railroad, sir?
这个嘛... Well...
这种事需要时间 these things take time.
和我说说 范莱茵先生 Tell me, Mr. Van Rhijn,
你觉得普斯特先生为布鲁克林历史学会 what do you think of Mr. Post's new building
新建的大楼怎么样 for the Brooklyn Historical Society?
我觉得还不错 It's all right, I suppose.
但我不太喜欢罗马风格 But I'm not an admirer of the Romanesque style.
你呢 罗素小姐 Are you, Miss Russell?
我不太了解罗马风格 I don't know, exactly.
或许不喜欢吧 Perhaps not.
那么我的观点得到认可了 Then my opinion is reenforced.
谁寄来的 Who sent it?
她看完信会告诉我们 She'll tell us when she's ready.
是雷克斯先生寄来的 It's from Mr. Raikes.
他得到了之前来这里面试的那份工作 He got the job he was here to interview for,
所以他现在住在纽约了 so he's living in New York.
这跟你有什么关系 And what is that to you?
你不能让我当他不存在吧 You can't ask me to cut him dead.
亲爱的 你要是在街上碰见雷克斯先生 My dear, should you meet Mr. Raikes in the street,
那当然不行 then of course not.
但我只是想说你别约他见面 But I suggest only that you do not seek him out.
他不是你这个圈子的人 He is not fit to be one of your circle.
他不是个适合的伴侣 就这样 He is not a suitable companion, that is all.
就这样 All?
这对我来说似乎过分了 It seems like a great deal to me.
我没有想要嫁给雷克斯先生 I do not wish to marry Mr. Raikes.
那我们就没什么分歧了 Then we have no quarrel.
但我不接受他不能做我朋友的这个说法 But I don't accept that he's not fit to keep me company.
他从我们第一次见面起就一直 Certainly, he has behaved like a gentleman to me
对我表现得很绅士 from our first meeting.
我认为有他这个朋友我该感到幸运 I think I should be lucky to be in his company.
亨利 你一定要附在你孩子身上吗 Oh, Henry, Henry, must you live on in your child?
看在老天的份上 你能放过她吗 Can you not set her free, for pity's sake?
但他有什么问题 But what's wrong with him?
他是个投机者 He is an adventurer.
你就不能相信我的年龄和阅历吗 Will you concede nothing to my age and experience?
我告诉你他就是个投机者 I tell you, he is an adventurer.
而我从未看走眼过 And I am never wrong.
谢谢你在晚餐时帮我说话 Thanks for saving me at dinner.
我可不想被那个 I didn't want to be cross-examined
傲慢的小鬼质问 by that young jackanapes.
我不知道他会回家跟他母亲报告些什么 I don't know what report he'll take home to his mother.
为什么要让他目睹你们像恶狼一般 Why did he have to witness all of you pounding me
对我群起而攻之呢 like a trio of prizefighters?
格拉迪斯得交点朋友 贝莎 Gladys must make friends, Bertha.
鲍德温先生不是我们想要的人 Mr. Baldwin is not what we want.
你怎么知道 How do you know?
因为他不是我想要的人 Because he's not what I want.
你觉得范瑞恩先生也对格拉迪斯感兴趣吗 Do you think Mr. Van Rhijn is interested in Gladys too?
这从何讲起 What makes you say that?
直觉而已 Instinct.
我觉得有可能 但我认为他动机不纯 I think he may be, but I question his motives.
格拉迪斯将会是个很富有的年轻女孩 Gladys will be a very rich young woman.
而任何想要为钱财而迎娶她的人 And if anyone plans to marry her for money,
都得拿出比奥斯卡·范赖恩更大的诚意 he'll need much more to offer than Oscar van Rhijn.
你这话什么意思 What do you mean by that?
你想好怎么应对市政议会的人了吗 Have you thought about how to deal with the aldermen?
我想是的 I believe so.
但在他们废除自己的法案前 我插不进手 But I can do nothing until they repeal their own law.
我想做的事情得花好大一笔钱 亲爱的 What I am planning may take a great many dollars, my dear.
但如果我成功了 But if I am successful,
那就是值得的 it will be worth it.
我之前就说了 I told you before.
我们曾经一起赚了大钱 We've made one fortune together.
如果有需要 我们能再赚一次 And if needs be, we'll make and spend another.
我今晚能和你一起睡吗 May I stay with you tonight?
无比欢迎 You have only to ask.
怎么了 What's the matter?
你看着像在神游天外 You seem preoccupied.
我的确在神游 但这不重要 I am preoccupied, but nothing's the matter.
我想我遇到了我要娶的女孩 I think I've met the girl I'm going to marry.
我们从一开始就知道自己最终会结婚 We always knew we were going to have to marry in the end.
是吗 Did we?
也许是吧 I suppose we did.
不然还能怎样 隐居吗 What's the alternative, to live in the shadows?
不了 谢谢 No, thank you.
这女孩是谁 Who is she, this girl?
现在说还为时尚早 Too early to say.
但她很完美 But she's perfect.
她将会很富有 这是关键 She'll have lots of money, which is essential.
她天真无邪 因此不会疑神疑鬼 She's an innocent, so she will suspect nothing.
而且她看着很善良 And she seems nice.
我想我们能幸福 I think we could be happy.
真的吗 Really?
约翰 有很多男人 John, there are plenty of men
都需要做出这种抉择 who have had to make exactly the same decision.
他们总不会个个都不幸吧 They can't all be wretched.
那我们会怎样呢 And what about us?
我们为什么要变 Why should it make any difference?
我懂了 Oh, I see.
除非我发现与和她是天作之合 Unless I take to it like a duck to water.
这事说不准 You never know.
我开玩笑的 I'm only teasing.
罗素联合信托
混蛋 Bastards.
他们废除了法案 They've rescinded the law?
是的 Well, that's it.
纽约市不会有新的火车站了 There will be no new railroad station in New York City.
暂时不会 For now.
我们该怎么办 What are we going to do?
我们去收购 We buy.
收购 We buy?
收购公司在市面上流通的所有股份 Every piece of company stock that comes on the market.
而且这事不能让任何人知道 And not a soul is to hear about it.
做隐蔽些 Hide the purchases.
我暂时不想让他们查出是我买入的 I don't want them traced back to me, not yet.
安斯利小姐 Miss Ainsley.
你今早看着真精神 先生 You look well this morning, sir.
谢谢 Thank you.
我现在和华盛顿 I feel as well as Washington
看到约克镇外的防御塔的心情一样 looking down at the redoubts outside Yorktown.
他知道大战将至了 He knew a great battle was coming.
而且是场必胜的大战 A great battle he would win.
他当时可不知道 He can't have known that.
但他知道这是场他能打赢的仗 But he knew it was a battle he could win.
真是意外之喜 What a wonderful surprise.
别担心 我不会待久 Don't worry, I'm not staying.
这就不太美妙了 Then it's a little less wonderful.
但请进来坐一会吧 好吗 But come in for a moment. Please?
你能让我们单独待会吗 斯科特小姐 Will you excuse us, Miss Scott?
-我们不该在这独处 -待一会而已 - We shouldn't be in here. - Just for a moment.
我真的不能久待 I can't stay, really.
我还有个午宴 和艾达姑姑见面 I'm meeting Aunt Ada at a luncheon party.
太遗憾了 My loss.
说起来 So...
我们上次见面后你都在忙些什么 what have you been doing since I last saw you?
你在纽约的这段时间过得还愉快吗 Are you enjoying your stay in New York?
这段时间还是我的新生活 My stay or my new life?
我很愿意对你知无不言 I'd love to tell you all about it,
但我想我不能去你姑姑家拜访你 but I suppose I can't call at your aunt's house.
我们约在戴尔莫尼科餐厅进午餐如何 What about luncheon at Delmonico's?
麦迪逊广场那间 不是百老汇那个 Madison Square, I mean, of course, not Broadway.
我不知道这两家有何区别 但不了 I don't know the difference, but no.
那一起喝咖啡如何 Well, what about coffee?
去哪 Where?
在一间舒适的酒店里 In some salubrious hotel.
圣克劳德酒店或者大都会酒店 The St. Cloud or the Metropolitan.
你已经对纽约了如指掌了 You know your way around already.
我学东西很快 I'm a quick learner.
我们当然不能在酒店里见面 Of course we can't meet in a hotel.
无论是喝咖啡还是做其他事 For coffee or anything else.
你看着不像是个被礼教束缚的人 You don't seem to me to be a person governed by petty rules.
束缚倒不一定 Not governed, I hope.
但我必须向其他人一样遵守规矩 But I must live in the same world as everyone else.
我们可以在麦迪逊广场偶遇 We could bump into each other in Madison Square.
-在自由之臂雕像旁边 -什么 - By Liberty's hand? - What?
拟议中的自由女神雕像的手臂 The hand from the proposed Statue of Liberty.
它于六年前被送到这里 为募集资金 It was sent over here six years ago to raise funds.
但很快它就会回法国了 But soon it's going back to France.
听起来是个我愿意看的东西 That sounds like something I would like to see.
那我们就来回走走 好好欣赏 Then we'll walk up and down and admire it.
那样还有谁会反对呢 Who'd object to that?
艾格妮丝姑姑 Aunt Agnes.
反正我会去的 I'll be there.
什么时候 When?
下周一 Next Monday.
五点钟 5:00.
你真够执着的 雷克斯先生 You are incorrigible, Mr. Raikes.
现在我得赶紧走了 And now I must fly.
斯科特小姐 进来吧 Miss Scott, come in.
我得说 你的怀疑无误 I must tell you I can confirm your suspicions,
即便我并不知道该如何解决其带来的问题 even if I have no answers for the questions they raise.
你看到发生了什么情况吗 Have you seen what's happening?
看到了 是真的 股票涨了 I have, and it's true. The stock has gone up.
这没道理啊 It makes no sense.
法律被撤回了 车站不会建了 The law's been reversed. The station won't be built.
-股票已经涨了... -不算太多 - And the stock has risen- - Not by much.
还没有涨太多 Not by much yet.
可本应一泻千里的股票 But they haven't even fallen a cent
一分钱都没跌 when they should have gone through the floor.
一定是罗素在背后搞鬼 Russell must be behind it.
一有人卖他就买进 Buying them as they come on the market.
大家都是这么说 That's what everyone's saying.
可这要赌上多少钱啊 But how much money would one man risk?
这家伙得有多少钱啊 How much money has one man got?
你说到点上了 And there you have it.
即便是乔治·罗素本人 Even George Russell himself
也只能维持住一天或者两天股价 can only hold up the crash for a day or two.
你确定吗 You're sure?
你做空了多少 How deeply are you in?
太多了 多到让我抬不起头了 So deep, I cannot see the sky.
我把所有身家都押上了 I bet all I have.
所以我不但会损失钱 还会失掉名下的一切 So I won't just lose the money. I'll lose everything I own.
没有那个法律 公司的股价就是哄抬虚高 Without the law, the company is ludicrously overpriced.
延缓股价的暴跌会吞噬他的所有财富 Delaying the fall will consume his fortune.
我祈祷你的判断正确 I hope to God you're right.
我说的肯定对 I must be right.
莫里斯 Morris.
你来干什么 What are you doing here?
我刚在查尔斯·费恩的办公室 Well, I've just left a meeting
开完会 at Charles Fane's office.
你...你听说乔治·罗素的 Have you, uh-have you heard the rumors
谣传了吗 about George Russell?
联合俱乐部有人说他破产了 They're saying at the Union that he's ruined
如果他还没有的话 那也快了 or if he isn't yet, he soon will be.
他想要保住公司的市值 He's trying to maintain the value of his company
只要有人卖出 他就全部买进 by buying all the shares as they come out.
他一旦放手不管 And when he lets them go,
股价就会跌得一塌糊涂 they'll crash through the floor,
并带走他所有财产 taking his fortune with him.
大家是这么说的 That's what they say.
我得走了 但... I'd better run, but, uh,
我真是无法相信 I can't get over it.
乔治·罗素完蛋了 George Russell is finished.
老天保佑吧 Please, God.
你可回来了 Oh, there you are.
我担心你会吃不上午餐了呢 I was afraid you were going to miss your lunch.
不过还剩了些食物 But there's still some food left.
不用不高兴 No need to get upset.
不是因为那个 而是... It's not that. It's--
怎么了 What?
你信里的事吗 是有人去世了吗 Something in your letter? Did someone die?
没有 没有 No, no.
那你要让我们好奇多久呢 Well, how long are you going to keep us in suspense?
是《基督教倡导者》出版商的来信 It's from the publisher of "The Christian Advocate."
他为什么给你写信 Why is he writing you?
他想约我见面 He wants to meet
谈谈刊登几篇我的短篇小说 to discuss publishing some of my short stories.
什么 What?
我认识的人里从没有谁在报纸上印过一个字 I've never known anyone who's had something published in the paper.
这和你有什么关系 你又不识字 Why should you care? You don't read.
-我勉强可以 -你太厉害了 - I get by. - This is very impressive.
你自己写的小说要出版了 One of your own stories in print.
别这么扫兴 Don't spoil it.
我们的午餐好了吗 Is our luncheon ready?
好了 It is.
斯科特小姐刚刚收到信 Miss Scott just got word
说有位出版商想和她见面谈谈她的文章 that a publisher wants to talk to her about her writing.
恭喜啊 斯科特小姐 Congratulations, Miss Scott.
谢谢 Thank you.
失陪 Excuse me.
可你还没吃午饭呢 Oh, but you didn't eat your lunch.
如果她东西发表了文章 I wonder how long she'll keep working
不知道还会为范莱茵夫人工作多久 for Mrs. Van Rhijn once she gets in the papers.
这些事轮不到我们猜测 It is not for us to speculate on such things.
是 班尼斯特先生 Yes, Mr. Bannister.
斯科特小姐不是我们这里 Miss Scott isn't the only one around here
唯一遇上有趣事的人 doing something exciting.
我们买到今晚魔术灯光表演的票了 We got tickets to the magic lantern show tonight.
没错 That's right.
提醒你看完直接回来 Well, mind you come straight back.
十点宵禁 Curfew's at 10:00.
我们会的 班尼斯特先生 We will, Mr. Bannister.
一定会的 Definitely.
我们当然得要募捐 Well, of course we'll have to raise funds.
总是会有募捐活动 There's always fundraising.
但这一次 But in this instance,
我们可能还要去对付政治家们 we may have to take on the politicians too.
天啊 艾格妮丝姑妈会怎么看待这事 Goodness, what will your Aunt Agnes say about such a thing?
范莱茵夫人会理解有时候 Mrs. Van Rhijn will know that sometimes a fight
-对抗无法避免 -说得好 - can't be avoided. - Brava.
我要给她做条绶带披上 I'll make a sash for her to wear.
"生命 自由 红十字会万岁" "Life, Liberty, and the Red Cross forever."
你当然是说笑的 可你让我直哆嗦 Of course you're joking, but you make me tremble.
我更了解你 I know better.
艾达·布鲁克小姐才不会哆嗦 Miss Ada Brook would never tremble.
她会为她相信的事业而战 She'd always fight for any cause she believed in.
你肯定把我和我姐姐搞混了 You may have confused me with my sister.
我的记忆力不会有错 There's nothing wrong with my memory.
事实上 我很高兴你今天能来 In fact, I'm glad you're here,
我想借机问问 as it allows me to ask
可否到61街贵府上拜访 whether I really may call at 61st Street.
我想艾格尼丝姑姑肯定会很高兴 Aunt Agnes would like to see
再次见到埃克哈德先生 Mr. Eckhard again, I'm sure.
这样的话那好吧 Well, if you think so.
你在那里住了多久了 How long have you lived there?
我姐夫于1850年在那盖了房子 My brother-in-law built the house in 1850.
十年前我姐夫过世以后 And I joined my sister there
我搬了过去和我姐姐一起住 when her husband died ten years ago.
他们刚刚搬过去的时候 They must have been marooned in a desert
那地方还很荒凉吧 when they first arrived.
范莱茵夫人真有眼光 Mrs. Van Rhijn had great foresight.
-其实不是 -不是 - Not really. - No?
她本来想在华盛顿广场买房子 She wanted to buy in Washington Square,
但是她丈夫坚持认为城市会向北迁移 but her husband insisted the city would move north.
他买了不少地皮 He bought quite a few lots.
现在纽约大道慢慢繁荣起来 And now New York has crept up the avenue
使之变成无价之宝 and made them priceless.
事实证明他很明智 没错 It has proved to be sensible, yes.
你们听说了歌剧院的事吗 Have you heard about this opera business?
什么事 What's that?
一些纽约新贵想要挑战音乐学院的权威 A group of new people mean to challenge the Academy of Music
再建造一个歌剧院 and create another opera house.
-他们不可以 -他们觉得自己可以 - They can't. - They think they can.
上周他们在戴尔莫尼科餐厅约谈 They met at Delmonico's last week
他们决定既然不允许他们使用 and decided that since they weren't allowed
学院的包厢 boxes at the Academy,
他们打算建一个自己的歌剧院 they were going to build their own house.
知道这些心怀怨气的家伙们都是谁吗 Do we know of whom this group of malcontents consists?
当然还是那几个 JP摩根家 The usual. JP Morgan, of course.
洛克菲勒家 范德比尔特家 The Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts.
纽约所有的投机分子 Every opportunist in New York.
我不会到处乱说 My lips are sealed.
怪不得学院不给他们包厢 No wonder they couldn't get a box at the Academy.
如果他们有能力建一座比现有剧院 But what is the point of shutting out these men
好二十倍的剧院的话 and their families when they could probably build
把这些人和他们的家族 an opera house that's 20 times better
拒之门外又有什么意义呢 than the one we have now?
真的假的 玛丽安 Really, Marian?
看来我们得好好盯着你了 I can see we're going to have to take you in hand.
-但... -够了 亲爱的 - But surely-- That's enough, dear.
是时候让别人说说话了 Time to let other people speak.
给你 Here you are.
这很好 弗雷德里克 Oh, this is good, Frederick.
-还需要别的吗 先生 -暂时不需要了 - Anything else, sir? - It's enough for now.
斯科特小姐 Miss Scott.
前门有位男士要找你 A man was asking for you at the front door.
我让他在街上等你 I asked him to wait in the street,
但是他说会在公园和你见面 but he said he'd meet you at the park.
什么样的男士 What sort of man?
父亲 Father.
你不来见我 我只好来见你了 I thought it was time the mountain came to Mohammed.
我已经回来一段时间了 I've been here awhile.
但就是没空来探望你的父亲 But not long enough to come and see your father.
-我不想吵架 -你不和我吵 我就不和你吵 - I don't want to quarrel. - I won't quarrel if you won't.
你母亲的生日快到了 Your mother's birthday is approaching.
我知道 I know.
我来这里是... I come here to--
你刚刚在说... You were saying?
-我们希望你能回家 -父亲 - We want you to come home. - Father.
不是长住 Not to stay.
你母亲说这事对你来说没得商量 Your mother said you're unmovable on that.
只是给她庆祝生日 Just for her birthday.
自从你离开家她就一直状态不好 She hasn't been herself since you decided to leave.
我不是因为她才离开 She's not the reason I left.
我可以原谅你 既往不咎 But I can forgive you and get past it all.
-原谅我 -是的 - Forgive me? - Yep.
你母亲会很高兴看到 It would make your mother happy
我们可以坐下来像一家人一样 if we could sit down and break bread
和睦地吃一顿饭 as a family in peace.
我会回家 但只是给她庆祝生日 I will come home but just for her birthday.
你母亲说 Your mother mentioned something about
-你在当秘书 -是的 - working as a secretary? - Yes.
那你具体做什么 What does that entail, exactly?
帮某个老妇人写写信吗 Writing letters for some old lady?
这是适合受过教育的女性的工作 It's a job for an educated woman
-前景非常广阔 -真的吗 - that could lead to anything. - Really?
那你的卧室在那房子的哪个位置呢 Exactly where is your room in that house?
好吧 All right.
我是和仆人们住在一起 It's in the servants' quarters.
但我不会永远替范莱茵夫人工作 But I won't be working for Mrs. Van Rhijn forever.
这份工作让我有时间写作 And the job allows me time to write.
我不明白你为什么一直要花时间做这个 I don't know why you're bothering with that.
从来没有那个黑人作家 There aren't any colored writers,
尤其是黑人女作家 能够靠写作糊口 especially women writers, who can make a living wage.
我很快可以知道黑人女作家可以挣多少钱了 I will soon find out how much colored women writers make.
怎么说 How's that?
卡尔顿波特出版社 I have a meeting with the publisher
要约我谈谈 at Carlton and Porter.
那是《基督教倡导者》的出版商 They put out "The Christian Advocate."
那是白人报纸 The white newspaper.
是的 Yes.
卡尔顿先生有兴趣想要发表 And Mr. Carlton is interested in publishing
一些我写的小说 some of my stories.
你为什么不试试《纽约环球报》 Why didn't you try "The New York Globe"?
我试过了 他们压根没回复 I did, but they never answered.
好吧 Well...
如果这事没成 if it doesn't pan out,
你总可以回家 you can always come home.
替我工作 And work for me.
我该回去了 I should get back.
怎么了 What's wrong?
-出什么事了 -没事 - What happened? - Nothing.
我可以告诉你母亲替你留个位置吗 I can tell your mother to set a place for you?
是的 Yes.
再见 父亲 Goodbye, Father.
如果有人问起 就说我出去了 I'm going out, if anyone asks.
我会在替老爷更衣前回来 I'll be back in time to get him changed.
你去哪 沃森先生 Where do you go, Mr. Watson?
你这是什么意思 What do you mean?
你经常在下午溜出去一小时 Well, you often slip out for an hour in the afternoon.
我想知道你去哪了 I wondered where you go to.
没有特定的地方 Nowhere in particular.
有时去公园之类的 Sometimes the park.
我只是喜欢走走 I like to walk.
可能是我的错觉吧 不过我认为沃森先生 I may be imagining it, but I think Mr. Watson
很喜欢你 has a soft spot for you.
那他是在浪费时间 Then he's wasting his time.
我的目标可比落魄男仆大多了 I've got bigger plans than a broken-down old valet.
听起来有点残忍 That seems rather cruel.
生活就是残忍 布鲁斯太太 Life can be cruel, Mrs. Bruce.
但我要战胜残酷的生活 But I mean to get the better of it.
我觉得拒绝罗素夫人的钱简直是令人费解 It seems mad to me not to take Mrs. Russell's money
毕竟她那么有钱 when she has so much of it to give.
还有张伯伦夫人的 也一样 Or Mrs. Chamberlain's, for that matter,
无论她有怎样的过去 whatever her past.
关于罗素夫人 你说的或许没错 You may have a point when it comes to Mrs. Russell
-但张伯伦夫人不是这样 -不是吗 - but not with Mrs. Chamberlain. - No?
他们说她也很有钱 They say she's very rich, too,
她对慈善事业也真的很有兴趣 and that she has a real interest in charitable causes.
也许确实如此 但生活总还有底线 It may be so, but there are limits.
她之前到底做了什么事 What is she supposed to have done?
在她结婚之前 Well, before their marriage,
张伯伦先生和夫人 Mr. And Mrs. Chamberlain...
就认识彼此 Knew each other.
大多数人在结婚前不是都 Don't most people know their wives and husbands
认识自己的另一半吗 before they marry them?
我猜除了一些东方国家吧 Except in some Eastern countries, I suppose.
是的 但他们的儿子... Yes, but their son is...
-比他应该的年纪大了些 -我以为他是领养的 - older than he ought to be. - I thought he was adopted.
确实是这样没错 Well, so he is.
从某种意义上来说 In a way.
但这是很久以前的事了 And it was all a long time ago now.
这座城市的人们会记得很久以前的事 People have long memories in this town.
班尼斯特来了 Oh, there's Bannister.
下午好 班尼斯特 Good afternoon, Bannister.
-艾达小姐 玛丽安小姐 -班尼斯特 - Miss Ada, Miss Marian. - Bannister.
谢谢 Oh, thank you.
你怎么会没料到这个情况 Why couldn't you see it coming?
因为从前这招都很有效 Because it's always worked before.
那这次怎么不行了 Then why isn't it working this time?
罗素简直是太有钱了 Russell has more money than God.
你就不能告诉他 他无法从这场交易中获利吗 Can't you tell him there'll be no profit in the deal?
我们之前试图蒙骗他 We tried to make a fool of him.
他不会那么轻易原谅我们 He won't find that easy to forgive.
你该换衣服了 You should get changed.
如果他一直购入 我会失去一切 If he keeps going, I'll lose everything I own.
是我们 We!
我们将失去拥有的一切 We will lose everything we own.
你和安妮·莫里斯实在不应该 It's a pity you and Anne Morris
羞辱他的妻子 decided to humiliate his wife.
这可没什么好处 I guess that won't have helped.
那是安妮 不是我 That was Anne, not me.
我想用他们的舞厅举行义卖 I wanted to use their ballroom for the fair.
那你为什么不坚持呢 Then why didn't you insist?
你一定还有办法 There must be something you can do.
求他良心发现 Appeal to his better nature.
太棒了 That was terrific.
欢迎
吓了我一跳 That made me jump.
别担心 我会保护你的 Don't worry. I'll look after you.
不要这样 Not like that.
-我只是... -不要这样 - I only-- - Not like that.
你就不能去找他吗 Could you go to him?
在你大肆羞辱了他妻子之后吗 After the insults you heaped on his wife?
-还是算了吧 -我只是做了... - I don't think so. - I only did what I--
你只是做了你认为正确的事 You only did what you thought was right.
我必须得听奥萝拉的话 I had to follow Aurora's lead--
不要侮辱我的智商 Don't insult my intelligence.
我不明白你这是什么意思 I don't know what you mean.
你看到了毁掉你的义卖他有多开心 You saw the fun he had destroying your bazaar.
现在他有机会摧毁你的家庭了 Well, now he has the chance to destroy your family.
不至于糟糕到这种地步吧 It can't be as bad as that.
你必须去找罗素夫人 You have to go to Mrs. Russell.
请求她的原谅 Ask her forgiveness.
谄媚 赔笑 卑躬屈膝 Call, grovel, kiss her feet.
竭尽所能让她帮我们制止她丈夫 Do what you have to do to get her to stop him.
帕特里克 你不能让我这么做 Patrick, you can't ask that of me.
我不是在拜托你 是在通知你 I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.
不然你就再也无法拥有地位 房子 Or you'll have no position, no house,
还有供你颐指气使的佣人了 and no one left to boss around.
托尼·帕斯彻剧院
或许我们可以一起吃个冰淇淋 I thought we might stop for an ice cream, maybe?
或者喝一杯咖啡 Or just a cup of coffee?
你听到班尼斯特先生的话了 You heard Mr. Bannister.
我们必须马上回去 十点钟就宵禁了 We're to go straight back. The curfew's at 10:00.
他们并不能掌控我们 布丽姬特 They don't own us, Bridget.
今晚我们休息 This is our night off.
我们没有多少这样的机会 We don't get many.
我们不能错过宵禁 We can't miss the curfew,
而且我们说过会直接回去 and we said we'd go straight home.
如果你希望如此的话 If that's the way you want it.
这就是 It is.
我可以牵你的手吗 Can I hold your hand?
我说过 我不喜欢这样 I've told you. I don't like that stuff.
快走吧 Now, come on.
款式齐全 价格优惠
你想上床睡觉吗 Do you want to come to bed?
还不想 Not yet.
我需要喝一杯 I need a drink.
怎么了 What's happened?
没什么 Nothing.
只是我的计划被打乱了 Only that my plan has come apart
我必须要重新开始 and I have to start again.
我想你是指那个完美女孩吧 I presume you mean the perfect girl?
你也该知道了 About time you knew.
她的名字是 Her name is
格拉迪斯·罗素 Gladys Russell.
乔治·罗素的女儿吗 George Russell's daughter?
但现在 该死的 街上都传言 But now, God damn it, the word on the street
罗素已经完蛋了 is that Russell is finished.
或是快了 Or he soon will be.
他试图通过回购公司的所有股份 He's trying to hold up the value of his company
来撑住公司市值 by buying all the shares.
但这终究不是长久之计 But no one can continue that forever.
外界都认为他不出几日就会破产 They think he'll be wiped out in a matter of days.
而这个女孩在她父亲破产后 And the girl is not perfect enough
也将无以为继 to survive her father's ruin.
我不能娶没有钱的女人 I can't marry without money.
我必须得到更多的钱 I must have more money.
-你会找到其他女人的 -也许吧 - You'll find another one. - Maybe.
那不重要 That's not the point.
她本来那么完美 She was perfect.
斯科特小姐 Miss Scott?
但你在信中说你是一个秘书 But in your letter, you said that you're a secretary.
如假包换 我是范莱茵夫人的秘书 So I am. To a Mrs. Van Rhijn.
但你没说你是个... But you never mentioned you were...
我不确定今天能与你会面 I'm not sure we can see you today.
但卡尔顿来信说他想见面 But Mr. Carlton's letter said he wanted to meet.
你想从我们这里得到什么 What is it you expect of us?
我希望你们的编辑能出版我的短篇小说 I'd like your editor to publish my short stories.
这不够清楚吗 Wasn't that clear?
在《基督教倡导者》上吗 In "The Christian Advocate"?
真的吗 Really?
难道有规定禁止刊登像我这样的人 Is there a rule against publishing the work
写的小说吗 of people like me?
没有明令禁止 Well, not a rule.
我是贵社的忠实读者 I read your magazine a lot.
我喜欢你们的社论 I like your editorials.
我还喜欢最近读到 And I liked a recent article
贵社的一篇关于平权重要性的社论 about the importance of equal rights.
我想亲自来试试 I want to test it.
卡尔顿先生很忙 Mr. Carlton is very busy.
不一定有时间见你 I doubt he'll have time for you.
但你大可以在这里等 But you're free to wait.
我会的 I will.
奥布里先生 Mr. Aubrey.
是我 Yes.
夫人在家吗 Is Mrs. Russell at home?
她在客厅 老爷 还有莫里斯夫人也在 She's in the drawing room, sir, with Mrs. Morris.
是吗 Is she indeed?
那我还是不打扰了 I won't disturb them.
我不明白 I do not understand.
你是说我该干涉 You are suggesting I should interfere
我丈夫的事业吗 in my husband's business?
"干涉"有点说得太过了 "Interfere" makes it sound so very bad.
看来帕特里克和其他议员 It seems that Patrick and the other aldermen
算错了 have miscalculated.
他们以为股票会下跌 They thought the stock would go down.
但反而上涨了 But they have gone up.
你已经清晰地概括了股市交易的本质 You have neatly encapsulated the nature of dealing in stock.
你试图预测它们的走向 You try to guess which way they'll go.
猜对了你就赚钱 If you're right, you make money.
猜错了就亏钱 And if you get it wrong, you don't.
我当然知道这点 Of course I know that.
那你到底想让我做什么 So what is it you want me to do?
我希望你能让他高抬贵手 I want you to ask him to show a little pity.
手下留情 To show mercy.
不好意思 但这到底是为了什么 Forgive me, but this is in payment for what?
我不明白你的意思 I don't understand.
你来到我的房子 提出一个奇怪的要求 You come into my house, you make this strange request,
我只是想知道为什么 and I'm trying to establish why.
你是觉得我欠了你什么吗 Do you feel I owe a debt of gratitude?
你做过什么事 要让我感恩戴德吗 Have you granted me a favor that merits a return?
-没有 -确实没有 - No. - No.
莫里斯夫人 我不愿对你说教 Mrs. Morris, I hesitate to teach the basics,
但生活就像一个银行账户 but life is like a bank account.
如果不提前存款 你就写不了支票 You cannot write a check without first making a deposit.
莫里斯夫人要离开了 Mrs. Morris is leaving.
好的 夫人 Yes, ma'am.
你可以见卡尔顿先生了 Mr. Carlton will see you now.
请进我办公室吧 斯科特小姐 Won't you come into my office, Miss Scott?
抱歉让你久等了 I apologize for making you wait.
当我从亚伦口中得知你是那个作者时 When Aaron informed me that you were the writer,
-我们需要想个方案 -明白了 - we needed a strategy. - I see.
首先我要问你一个问题 First, I have a question for you.
那些小说真是你写的吗 Did you really write these stories?
你说什么 I'm sorry?
这些小说结构优美 情节生动 They are beautifully constructed and executed.
受到了广泛的好评和推荐 They came back with the strongest recommendations.
我只是想确定是你本人写的 And I want to be sure you wrote them.
确实是 I did.
那你一定天赋异禀 Then you're very talented.
谢谢 Thank you.
正如我信件中所说 As I stated in my letter,
我们想要出版其中一篇小说 we would like to publish one of them.
那太好了 That's wonderful.
我真是受宠若惊 In fact, it's amazing, really.
哪一篇呢 Which one?
我们想从住在海湾边的小女孩 We'll start with the story about the little girl
那篇小说开始发表 who lives by the bay.
我们还希望你能进行几处调整 Now, there are adjustments we'd ask you to make
让我们的读者更好地接受你的作品 so that your work is more palatable to our readers.
没问题 Of course.
我们希望那个黑人小女孩能够修改为 The little colored girl would need to be changed
一个穷苦的白人小孩 to a poor white child.
为什么呢 But why?
我们的读者无法与 Our readers will not identify
黑人女孩的救赎故事感同身受 with a colored girl's story of redemption.
但你说我的小说受到了 But you said my stories came back
广泛的好评和推荐 with the strongest recommendations.
那些评价是白人给的吗 Were those from white people?
当然 Of course.
那难道他们的反馈不能代表 But then wouldn't their reaction be indicative
你们的读者吗 of your readers?
为什么你们要修改这么重要的部分 Why would you change an integral part of the story?
因为这会让我们损失 Because it would cost us
南方的一大部分读者 most of our readership in the South.
我个人也不赞同当下的社会制度 I don't approve of the system, I can say that.
但一旦读者流失了 他们就再也不会回来 But once gone, those people would not be back.
我明白了 I see.
你说"几处调整" You said "adjustments."
我还需要做什么改变 才能被出版 Well, what other changes must I make to be published?
你的名字没问题 Your name is fine.
看不出你的背景 It does not suggest anything about your background,
所以这个可以保留 so we can keep it.
但你的种族必须保密 But your race would have to remain concealed.
这要怎么操作 How would that work?
我们会让你签一份文件 接受我们的条款 We'd have you sign a document that you accept our policy,
这样你就不能向公众透露 which would prevent you from divulging publicly
你是我们今后可能发布的小说的作家 that you are the writer of any stories we might publish.
我自己的小说都不行吗 My own stories?
一旦我们购入 那些就成了我们的小说 Once we buy them, they would be ours.
那么... So...
你理解我说的意思吗 you understand what I'm saying?
-理解了 -很好 - I think so. - Good.
《基督教倡导者》让我撒谎 "The Christian Advocate" is asking me to lie.
这是我能给的最好条件 It's the best arrangement I can offer.
你会收到丰厚稿费 You'd be paid handsomely.
比任何有色人种出版社给的都多 More than you could make at any colored publication.
这点我懂 I realize that.
现在至少有两个男人坐在酒吧角落 There at least two white men sitting at a bar
借酒浇愁 暗自伤神 around the corner drinking away their sorrows
因为我拒绝了他们 because I turned them down.
他们做梦都希望处在你现在的位置 They'd kill to be in your position.
但他们绝不会落入我这种境地 But they'd never be in my position.
我做错了吗 Did I make a mistake?
我现在就可以在报纸上刊登我的小说 I could have my stories published in a newspaper right now.
但你却终身无法承认那是你的作品 But you'd never be able to claim them.
不 你没有犯错 And no, you did not make a mistake.
他竟然提出这种要求 是他无耻 It was a disgraceful thing for him to ask.
最糟糕的是 我父亲说得对 The worst part is, my father was right.
现在他定会幸灾乐祸 强迫我去给他工作 Now he'll gloat and insist that I come and work for him.
可是你有工作 But you have a job.
这无所谓 It doesn't matter.
他的行事方法和言语胜过 His way and his word trumps anything
我的所说所想 至少他这么认为 I say or want to do, at least in his mind.
肯定还有其他报纸 There must be other papers.
是的 There are.
只是我没收到任何一家的回复 But I haven't heard back from any of them.
一定会有向你敞开的大门 Somewhere there's an open door.
到时你就能昂首阔步走进去 And you're going to walk through it.
如果这是她的手 那自由女神像的本尊该有多大 If that's her hand, what size will the Statue of Liberty be?
非常大 Big.
雷克斯先生 Mr. Raikes.
所以这手臂会远洋去法国 So when it goes to France
安装到雕塑身上 and get stuck onto the statue's arm,
-随后再被运回这里吗 -是这么计划的 - then it will come back here? - That's the idea.
但他们依然没有足够的钱建造雕塑基座 But they still haven't got enough money for the plinth.
-政府拒绝资助 -他们会想到办法 - The government refuses. - They'll find it.
你想跟我们一起散步吗 斯科特小姐 Would you like to walk with us, Miss Scott?
不了 谢谢邀请 先生 No. Thank you, sir.
跟我说说你在城里的奇遇 So...tell me about your adventures in the city.
我很享受 I'm enjoying myself.
纽约生活非常对我的胃口 Life in New York is very much to my taste.
我现在能去61街拜访你了吗 Can I come to 61st Street yet?
暂时不行 Not quite.
你姑姑还那么不讲理吗 Is your aunt still being unreasonable?
她什么时候讲过理了 Who said she was ever reasonable?
真可惜 That's a shame.
我有些话想对她说 I have things I want to say to her.
-对她们俩 -什么话 - To them both. - What things?
让我想想 Well, now, let me see.
我可以先承认自己在社交方面并不抢手 I could start by admitting that I'm no great catch socially.
