真是印象深刻的收藏 你這裏確實有一些稀有的書 It's an impressive collection. You have some very rare editions here.
你們真的打算全部出手嗎？ Are you sure you want to send them all?
自從我父親變成這副樣子以來 They're of no use to father, not anymore.
它們就已經沒有用了 Not since he's been this way.
他的書房是他畢生的心血 而現在它們只是…… His library was his whole world. Now it's just...
一些痛苦的回憶 ...a painful memory.
不堪忍受的痛楚 Unbearably painful.
我明白 I understand.
呃…… Well,
據我的粗略估計 at a rough preliminary estimate
這裏的所有的藏書 you have a collection here
- 大概值60萬 - 60萬？ - worth around 600,000 dollars. - 600,000?
是的，差不多 Yes, worth that about.
我發現有兩卷 I have picked up one or two volumes
會有人非常感興趣 that merit special attention.
比如這套《貝爾雷斯》 就非常罕見 This "Persiles", for example, is important.
好好保存它 這東西永遠不會貶值 I'd hang on to that. It'll never depreciate.
- 不錯的東西 - 很值錢嗎？ - It's a good investment. - Valuable?
非常值錢 Very valuable.
至於這套1545年出版的 As for this "Hypneratomachia di Poliphilo"
威尼斯·科隆納所著的 《Hypneratomachia di Poliphilo》 by Colonna, Venice, 1545,
不愁沒有買家 I'm sure I can find you a buyer.
而剩下的藏書 無論如何... But I wouldn't let the rest go for less than 500,000
也決不會低於50萬 under any circumstances.
可能要花上一個月來仔細估價 It may take a month to sort of place them
所以這段時間 你們需要有點耐心 so in the meantime I advise you to be patient
要花一個月？ A month?
是啊，一到兩個月 要看你是不是急著要出手了 Yes, a month or two, depends on how much of a hurry you're in, and see,
越急著賣，越不值錢 more hurry, less money.
- 這樣啊 - 當然，只是我的忠告 - Of course. - Well, that's my advice anyway.
我想你們應該不至於那麼急吧 I'm sure you wouldn't want to rush things
當然你們大可找 其他專家來幫你們看 but please feel free to consult another expert
你們有任何問題 我隨時恭候指教 aand if you have any questions you know where to reach me.
順便提一下 這一套四冊的《唐吉訶德》 Incidentally, this four-volume edition
當然也很好， 但不是特別值錢 of "Don Quixote" is quite nice, but not particularly valuable.
我可以 Now, I could
現在 take it off your hands
就買下來 right away.
那你要出多少？ How much were you thinking of?
我最多只能出四千二 Oh, I couldn't go more than 4,000 - 4,200
好，成交 Oh, fine.
- 你怎麼在這？ - 你好，維特金 - You here? - Hello Witkin.
你倒是絲毫不浪費時間啊 You didn't waste much time.
嘿，你也可以進去搞點好東西 請便 Listen, there's a small fortune in there. Help yourself.
你真貪婪，高素！ 貪得無厭 You're a vulture Corso! A vulture!
- 做我們這行，誰不是？ - 你什麼卑鄙勾當都干 - Who isn't in our business? - You'd stuck to anything.
為了這套易巴拉版的《唐吉訶德》，我會的 For a Quixote by Ybarra? You bet I would.
沒道德的傢伙！ 你真是道德敗壞！ Unscrupulous! Thoroughly unscrupulous!
滿載而歸 Happy hunting.
維特金剛打電話來 他氣得吐血 I've just got on the phone with Witkin. He's spitting blood.
是嗎？他怎麼了？ Really? What's his problem?
他說你是一個奸詐的騙錢鬼 He said you're a double-dealing moneygrabbing bastard.
他本來快談成了那筆生意 而你扯了他後腳 He thought he had that deal sold up. He said you queered his pitch.
好事不等人 他應該比我先去 He should have been quicker and offer them more.
- 可以嗎？ - 當然 - May I? - Sure.
他還說你的估價高出行價 And he said your evaluation was way over the top.
賣主也實在太著急了 And those people coming out in a rash
他們現在正找人進行第二次估價 now they're asking twice what those books are worth.
面對現實吧！ Let's face it.
- 你的確出賣了他 - 是這樣嗎？ - You screw it off, that's what it's called. - That's what it's called.
他們說你搶了那套《唐- He also said that you snatched the "Don Qui-"
易巴拉版的《唐吉訶德》，1780出版 Ybarra, "Don Quixote", 1780.
全四冊 All four volumes.
你這衰人 真太棒了 Son of a bitch. Fantastic.
太厲害了，就你行 Fantastic, you are the best.
你那個瑞士客戶，他會感興趣嗎？ That client of yours, the Swiss, d'ya think he'd still be interested in this edition?
眼下維特金正氣的冒煙呢， 我跟他說過這事我沒有插手 I have Witkin on my ass, I really told him I had no part in this operation.
除非給你一成 Except 10%.
不，兩成。瑞士人是我的客戶 20%. The Swiss is my client.
不行 No deal.
- 一成半吧，看在我孩子的份上 - 你沒有子女吧 - 15, for my children's sake. - You don't have any children.
我還年輕，將來會有的 I'm still young, give me time.
一成 Ten.
1580年早期出版的《國家六論》 ...and earlier in 1580, in "De la D鑝onomanie des sorciers"
法國人讓·布丹的名著 by the French Jean Bodin.
布丹可能是第一個 嘗試建立新體制的人 Bodin was probably the first to attempt to estabilish a system,
這樣的體制可能仍適用於中世紀， if the term "system" may be applied to the Middle Ages,
因為他把當時的人們 對邪惡的認知進行分類 for classifying the contemporary perceptions of evil.
在布丹的書裏，我們發現了 首例給「巫師」的定義 In Bodin we find one of the first definitions of the word "witch".
他說： I quote:
「巫師就是那些 "A witch is a person
明知正邪不兩立， who, though cognizant in the laws of God,
又竭力通過某種媒介與魔鬼溝通的人 endeavours to act thorugh the medium of a pact with the Devil.
為了協助她們的工作 許多巫師都有親信 To assist them in their work, many witches kept familiars,
也就是某種動物 例如貓、蟾蜍等 that is to say creatures such as cats or toads
她們相信那些鬼魂、魔鬼們 會附身於這些動物 in which supernatural spirits or demons were thought to reside.
各位如果有興趣深入瞭解的話 For those of you, ladies and gentlemen who wish to dare more deeply
可以在以下... into the controvertial subject of witchcraft,
關於魔法的著作中 a great deal of relevant information
找到大量相關的資料 may be found in the following works:
尼古拉斯·雷米斯的《魔鬼書籍》 Nicolas Remis "Demonolatriae libri"
以及弗朗西斯·瑪利亞·瓜佐的 《邪術概略》 and "Compendium Maleficarum", by Francesco Maria Guazo.
我的演講讓你乏味了吧 高素先生 I see you were stimulated by my little talk, Mr. Corso.
我沒有打鼾吧？ Did I snore?
謝謝你還問這個 沒有，我沒注意 Most nice of you to ask. No, not that I noticed.
可以走嗎？ Shall we go?
- 昨晚睡得好嗎？ - 好極了 - Don't you sleep nice? - Like a baby.
那就奇怪了 Strange.
我敢拿一套古騰堡版的聖經打賭 I'd have bet a brace of Gutenberg Bibles
你昨晚肯定沒睡好覺 you spend half the night with your eyes peeled
你這種野心勃勃的人 You're one of those lean, hungry restless types
連朱利葉斯·凱撒也懼你三分 that put the wind up Julius Caesar.
而且你還出賣朋友 Men who stab their friends in the back.
否則我敢保證你很有人緣，高素先生 Not that I suspect you have many friends, do you Mr. Corso?
你現在沒幾個朋友 Your kind seldom does.
我們當然不一樣 That makes two of us.
是啊，當然 You're right, of course.
你的友誼絲毫不關我的事 Your friendships don't concern me in the least.
我們之間一直只是商業關係 而那正是我喜歡的 Our relations have always been strictly commercial, and that's the way I like it.
公私應該分明 The professional and the personal should be mutually exclusive.
聽著，我來這為了談生意 不是來聽你廢話的 Listen, I came here to do some business, not to shoot to breeze.
如果你想要宣揚你個人的哲學 去再寫一本書吧 If you want to expound you personal philosophies, write another book.
你討厭我，是嗎？ You don't like me, do you?
我沒必要討厭你 你只是我一個客戶，出手闊綽 I don't have to like you. You're a client and you pay well.
你享受特別待遇，高素先生 You're a priviledged, Mr. Corso.
沒有幾個人能進來這裏 Very few people ever set foot in here.
這些是我的私人藏書 This is my private collection.
一些藏書者專門研究哥特小說 Some bibliophiles specialise in gothic novels,
一些則偏愛歷史 others in Books of Hours.
而我這裏所有的善本 卻有一個共同的主題 All my own rare editions have the same protagonist:
「魔鬼」 the Devil.
- 我能看看嗎？ - 請便 - May I take a look? - Yes.
這就是我找你來的原因 That's why I brought you here.
很美，不是嗎？ Beautiful, aren't they?
它們柔和的光澤 它們華麗的裝幀 Their soft sheen, their superb guilding,
那個年代他們擁有的智慧 毋庸質疑 not to mention the centuries of wisdom they contain.
我知道有人為這些書而殺人 I know people who would kill for a collection like this.
「魔鬼的藝術」 The "Ars Diavoli".
同類主題的書， 你再也看不到這樣規模的了 You'll never see as many books on the subject anywhere else in the world.
這批珍藏，舉世無雙 They're the rarest, the choicest editions in existence.
我花了一生來收集它們 It's taken me a lifetime to assemble them.
唯一的遺憾是缺少 一件最偉大的著作 Only the supreme masterpiece was missing.
這邊 Come.
《地獄九道門》 "The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows".
- 你瞭解這個？ - 沒錯，1666年威尼斯出版 - You're familiar with it. - Yes, Venice 1666.
同是作者和印書者的阿里斯緹德·拓奇亞 被宗教裁判所執行火焚 The author and printer Aristide Torchia was burned by the Holy Inquisition
包括他所有的著作一起 together with all his works.
- 只有三本被倖存了下來 - 一本 - Only three copies survived. - One.
這三本現在被私人收藏 The Catalogue has three copies surviving, of private ownership:
法戈斯，科斯勒和特爾佛 the Fargas, the Kessler and the Telfer.
確實如此，你的確是行家 但是你錯了 It's true, you know your business. But you're mistaken nonetheless.
根據我的研究，只有一個是真本 According to my own research, only one is authentic.
我知道的就有三本 Well, three are known.
問題就在這裏 That's the trouble.
- 這本你怎麼搞到的？ - 從特爾佛手中買的 - Where did you get it? - I bought it from Telfer.
- 特爾佛？ - 是的，頗費周章 - Telfer? - Yes, he fnally sold it to me.
就在他自殺的前一天 The day before he killed himself.
真是個好時機 That's good timing.
"Silentium est aureum" "Silentium est aureum".
- 沉默是金 - 正是 - Silence is golden. - Precisely.
聽說過《Delomelanicon》嗎？ Ever heard of the "Delomelanicon"?
是啊，我知道一些 是個傳說，對吧？ I have heard of it, yes. It's a myth, isn't it?
據說是一本魔鬼（撒旦）親著的書 A book reputed to have been written by Satan himself
不是傳說，真的有這本書 No myth. That book existed.
事實上拓奇亞拿到了這本書 Torchia actually acquired it.
你現在欣賞的插圖 就是拓奇亞根據《Delomelanicon》改編的 The engravings you are now admiring were adapted by Torchia from the "Delomelanicon".
它們是邪惡的迷 They form a kind of satanic riddle.
依照原文的幫助正確轉譯而來 Correctly interpreted with the aid of the original text,
裏面充滿著玄機 and sufficient inside information,
據說通過它們可以召喚魔鬼 they're reputed to conjure up the Prince of Darkness in person.
我知道 You don't say.
你信仰宗教嗎，高素先生？ Are you a religious man, Mr. Corso?
我是說，你是否相信鬼神？ I mean, do you believe in the supernatural?
我相信我的佣金 I believe in my percentage.
你站在那兒暈不暈？ Aren't you getting dizzy standing there?
巴肯先生，請我來到底所為何事？ What is it that you want from me, Balkan?
我要你去歐洲調查 I want you to go to Europe and investigate.
另外兩本分別在葡萄牙和法國 The other two copies are in Portugal and France.
我要你拿它們與我的這本比較 I want you to find some way of comparing them with mine.
每一頁，每幅插圖 以及裝訂，所有一切 Every page, every engraving, the binding, everything.
我確信只有一本是真的 我想知道是哪本 I'm convinced only one is authentic I wanna know which.
這一趟肯定花費不少 That can be an expensive trip.
你儘管去做，費用不用擔心 That's to get you started. Spend what you need.
萬一我發現你這本是贗品呢？ What if I find that your copy's a forgery?
那很有可能 It's quite possible.
真的？ Really?
似乎不是贗品 It doesn't appear to be.
紙張聽來也正宗 Even the paper sounds couture.
雖然如此，一定有漏洞的 Even so, something's wrong.
你是說魔鬼不想公開露面 You mean the Devil won't show up.
一旦你發現三本都是贗品或殘本 你的工作就結束了 If all three copies turn out to be bogus or incomplete your work will be done.
反之，如果有一個是真本的話 我會增加你的酬勞 If, on the other hand, one of them turns out to be genuine, I'll finance you further.
我要你幫我弄到手 I want you to get it for me.
不惜成本，不擇手段 At all costs. Nevermind how.
「不擇手段」聽起來像非法勾當 "Nevermind how" sounds illegal.
不要跟我假裝你很清白 It wouldn't be the first time you've done something illegal.
- 信不信由你 - 看一下你的支票吧 - Not that illegal. - Hence the size of the check.
干漂亮點，酬金我會加倍 Do a good job. I'll double it.
你這麼信任我，讓我受寵若驚 There's gotta be something wrong with it if you're letting it out of your hands.
我對你期望很高，高素先生 I have the outmost faith in you, Mr. Corso.
沒有比一個能收買的男人更可靠的了 There's nothing more reliable than a man whose loyalty can be bought for hand cash.
早上好，我是迪安·高素 Good morning. Dean Corso.
我很抱歉這個時候打擾你 I'm terribly sorry to disturb you at a time like this.
夫人，如果你能告訴我這本書的任何事情 It would be very helpful ma'am if you could tell me what you know about
我將十分感謝 this book.
- 這不是我丈夫的書嗎？ - 沒錯 - Isn't this one of my husband's books? - Right.
直到他買給我的一個客戶之前還是 It was in his collection until very recently. He sold it to a client of mine.
我的工作是對它鑒定 I'm trying to authenticate it.
你說他把它買掉了？ He sold it, you say?
那怎麼可能，這可是他的寶貝 How strange, this was one of his most treasured possessions.
- 他沒告訴你？ - 不，我現在才知道 - He never mentioned this sale? - No, it's news to me.
- 他買給了誰？ - 一個私人收藏家 - Who bought it? - A private collector.
能告訴我名字嗎？ May I know his name?
對不起，我要保守商業秘密 I'm afraid that's confidential.
- 他有買賣單據嗎？ - 肯定有的 - I suppose he has a bill of sale. - No problem there.
你專門鑒定稀有書籍？ Is this your job? Authenticating rare books?
沒錯. 還替客戶搜集 And tracking them down, yes.
- 那你是書籍偵探了？ - 差不多 - You're a book-detective. - Kind of.
你還記得你丈夫從哪裏買到這本書的嗎？ Do you recall when and where your husband acquired this book?
在西班牙 In Spain.
我們當時在托萊多度假 安德魯發現它時很興奮 We were vacationing at Toledo. Andrew was very excited.
他付重金買下了它 He paid a great deal of money for it.
他曾經是一個狂熱的收藏家 He was a fanatical collector.
我猜也是 So I gather.
我帶你參觀 I'll show you.
很壯觀 It's impressive.
安德魯花了很多時間在這兒 Andrew used to spend many hours in here.
是太多時間... Too many.
他有沒有試過？ Did he ever try it out?
試什麼？ I don't understand.
那本書 The book.
他有沒有用它做過法式？ Did he ever use it to perform some kind of ritual
像是招魂一類的？ intended to produce a supernatural effect?
- 你不是在開玩笑吧？ - 當然不是 - Are you serious? - Yes, absolutely.
高素先生，安德魯的確有點古怪 Andrew was a trifle eccentric, Mr. Corso,
但還不至於有神經病 But he wasn't insane.
是啊，在他自殺的前幾天 It's true he'd been acting
確實有些異樣 strange in those last few days,
他整日把自己關在這裏 除了吃飯，很少出來 he shut himself up in here, he seldom emerged, except for meals.
直到那天早晨 我被女傭的尖叫聲嚇醒 That morning I was awoken by the screams of the maid.
他自縊身亡 He'd hanged himself.
不論他到底在做什麼， Whatever he was up to,
反正我沒聽他念過咒或想把死人復活 I certainly can't see him chanting mambo jambo or trying to raise the dead.
是魔鬼，特爾佛夫人 這本書能使魔鬼復活 The Devil, Mrs. Telfer. This book is designed to raise the Devil.
"Sic luceat lux" "Sic luceat lux".
「光芒如此耀眼」 "Thus might the light shine".
你這混蛋. 從哪搞到的？ Son of a bitch. Where did you get this?
巴肯 Balkan.
他要我幫他研究 He wants me to research it.
巴肯也有一本《九道門》？ Balkan owns a "Nine Gates"?
安德魯·特爾佛死前賣給了他 Recently acquired by the late lamented Andrew Telfer.
相信巴肯... Trust Balkan...
他想怎樣？別說他想賣掉 What does he need you for? I don't suppose he plans to sell it?
他要我找到其它兩本 跟他的這本比較 He wants me to compare it with the other two survival copies
那兩本在葡萄牙和法國 which are in Portugal and France.
所以我要去歐洲一趟 So I'm off to Europe.
進行比較？ Compare it?
是啊，他說只有一本是真貨 Yes. Only one of the three is authentic, he says.
這本看起來已經夠真的了 But this looks genuine enough.
上帝啊，這可值上百萬 小心保管啊 Chrissake, it's gotta be worth a million. Take care of it.
所以我過來找你 我要你把它藏好 That's why I'm here. I need you to stash it for me.
因為我都開始產生幻覺了 'Cause I'm starting to see things.
- 什麼幻覺？ - 不速之客，陌生面孔 - Like what? - Uninvited visitors, unfamiliar faces.
我誰也不相信 即使巴肯本人 I don't trust anyone, not even Balkan.
我在想是不是該相信你 I come to think I'm not even sure I trust you.
我一般是不會出賣你的 You know I wouldn't screw you unless there was a good reason:
除了給我錢、女人和生意... money, women, business...
別的我一概沒有興趣 Other than that you can relax.
- 上飛機時我會來取 - 好的 - I'll take it up on my way to the airport. - Sure.
這些插圖真是恐怖 These engravings are terrific.
或者說，毛骨悚然 Or horrific, whichever.
太棒了 真的太棒了 Sensational, absolutely sensational.
可以進來嗎？ May I come in?
請坐 Please, sit down.
我是來想跟你做筆生意的 I've come to talk business.
昨天你帶著那本書來找我 Yesterday, when you came to see me about that book,
我當時太激動了，沒有好好跟你談 I was too surprised to react as I should have done.
我是說，這本書真是安德魯的最愛 I mean it really was one of Andrew's favourites.
你說過 So you said.
我想把它要回來 I'd like to get it back.
- 這可能有點難 - 未必吧，要看情況了 - That could be a problem. - Not necessarily, it all depends.
- 什麼情況？ - 看你 - On what? - On you.
我不懂，特爾佛夫人 這本書又不是我的，我做不了主 I don't understand, Mrs. Terfel. The book is not mine to dispose of.
你為了錢幹這個，是吧 You work for money, I take it?
沒錯 What else?
- 我很有錢 - 我替你高興 - I have a great deal of money. - I'm very happy for you.
你可以演一齣失竊的好戲 You could stage a theft.
我猜你的客戶應該投了巨額保險 I imagine your client is well insured.
- 這是我的職業啊，夫人 - 不也是為了錢 - I'm a professional, ma'am. - You're a professional mercenary.
誰給價最高為誰工作 Mercenaries work for the highest bidder.
我以這個為生
我給你額外的酬勞 I could throw in a bonus.
- 這一幕好像在哪見過 - 我知道，在電影裏 - This has happened before in some place. - I know, in the movies.
女的長襪裏通常藏了槍... She had an automatic her stocking...
不一定 No automatic.
- 想喝一杯嗎？ - 好啊 - Would you like a drink? - Why not?
好吧，它在哪裏？ Okay. Where is it?
什麼東西在哪裏？ Where's what?
別玩我！ Don't fuck with me!
不是已經「玩」過了嗎？ I thought I already did.

上帝啊... Jesus Christ...
你沒事吧？ None problem?

靠邊停在電話亭旁 Stop by that phone booth, pull over.
好的，先生 No problem sir.
他現在沒空，能告訴我你是誰嗎？ He isn't available at the time. May I know who's calling?
- 你要留口信嗎？ - 不，我必須立即和他通話 - You'd like to leave a message? - No, I have to talk with him at once.
恐怕他趕不過來 I'm afraid he is in transit.
你可以留下你的號碼 If you can give me your number,
他來了讓他打給你 I'll have him return it when he checks us.
不，我在公共電話亭 我有急事 No, I'm in a phone booth. It's an emergency.
我必須馬上跟他講 馬上，你聽清楚了嗎？ I have to speak with him right now. Right now, do you hear me?
現在 Right now.
稍等 One moment.
- 你在嗎？高素先生 - 是 - Are you there, Mr. Corso? - Yeah.
好，我替你接通 Ok, I'll put him through.
高素先生，你有什麼發現？ Mr. Corso, what have you got for me?
比想像的糟多了 More than I'd bargained for.
- 你什麼意思？ - 我不幹了 - What do you mean? - I mean I quit.
你人在哪？我把書還你 I wanna return you the book. Where are you?
我對你很失望，高素先生 你以前不是這樣 I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Corso. You never let me down before.
但這次不同 Well, this is different.
你還記得班尼·奧倫斯丁嗎？ Do you remember Bernie Orenstein?
書店老闆？ The dealer?
我把你的書給他保管 I gave him your book to stash it for me
他剛剛死了，被謀殺 and now he's dead, murdered.
- 因為這本書？ - 不然是什麼？ - Because of the book? - What else?
聽著，我從沒說這件事容易 但如果是因為錢的問題... Look, I've never said it would be easy. If it's a question of money...
不關錢的事，我要退出 It isn't the money, I want out.
這件事對我很重要 高素先生 This matter means a great deal to me, Mr. Corso.
我不是小氣的人 這你也知道 I'm not an ungenerous man, you know that.
一切照常進行， 你可以在酬勞後再添個零 Proceed as arranged, and you can tack another zero onto your fee.
什麼... 嘿，你在哪裏？ What... Hey, where are you?
- 午安 - 午安，請進 - Good evening. - Good evening. Come in.

特爾佛的藏書 The Telfer copy.
對. 以前是你們的，對嗎？ Yes. You used to own it, right?
- 是啊，我們的 - 我們賣了它 - We used to, yes. - We sold it.
當時機成熟... 我們不會不捨得賣 ...when the opportunity presented itself. It was too good to..
我們賣了 賣了個好價錢 ...too good to miss. An excellent sale.
絕好的買賣 完美的時機 An excellent buying! Impeccable condition.
太完美了 你是現在的書主嗎？ Impeccable. Are you the present owner?
不，我的客戶是 No, A client of mine.
想不到那位夫人捨得賣 I would never have believed she would part with it. Never.
- 夫人？ - 特爾佛夫人 - She? - Mrs. Telfer.
買主不是特爾佛先生嗎？ I understood that it was Mr. Telfer that had bought it.
他只是了付錢 He'd pay for it.
他夫人要買它 It was Mrs. Telfer who made him buy it.
- 他似乎並不十分... - ...感興趣 - He didn't seem particularly... - ...interested.
非常奇怪 An exceptional specimen.
- 你覺得這個會是贗品嗎？ - 贗品？你聽到嗎，皮皮？ - Do you think it could be a forgery? - Forgery? Hear that, Pablo?
我以為你是專家呢 而你竟輕率的說它是贗品 I took you for a professional. You speak too lightly of forgeries.
太輕率了 Far too lightly.
有這樣的贗品也很值錢 Forging a book is very expensive.
當時的紙張，上好的油墨 毫無利益可圖 Paper of the period, right inks, Too expensive to be profitable.
- 現在還能偽造嗎？ - 當然 - Still it can be done. - Of course.
只要有高明的技術， 是的，能做出來 It requires a great skill, but yes it can be done.
你不覺得這就是問題嗎？ Do you think that could be the case here?
你想問什麼？ What makes you ask?
我的客戶對這本書的真偽很感興趣 My client wishes to satisfy himself on the book's authenticity.
他叫巴肯， 紐約的波利斯·巴肯 His name's Balkan. Boris Balkan of New York.
- 每一本書都有它自己的命運 - 它們有自己的宿命 - All books have a destiny of their own. - And a life of their own.
巴肯先生是位著名的收藏家 Mr. Balkan is a celebrated collector.
他不是笨蛋， 他應該知道這本書的真偽 He's no fool, he must know this book is authentic.
- 我們都知道 - 所以他也是 - We know it. - So must he.
- 我們擁有它已多年 - 很多年 - We've had this book for years. - Many years.
我們有足夠的時間來細細研究它 With ample opportunity to study it thoroughly.
它的印刷、裝訂 The printing, the binding,
絕對是十七世紀 威尼斯技術的至高典範 are magnificent examples of 17th century Venetian craftsmanship.
最好的碎布優質紙 能抵制歲月的侵蝕 Finest rag-paper. Resistent to the passage of time.
不像現代木質紙漿 None of your modern wood-pulp.
看這些水印，墨水 Watermarks, ink,
和字體... typefaces...
怎麼都不像是贗品 If this is a forgery,
如果這是仿造品， 那也算是大師之作了 or a copy with missing pages restored, is the work of a master.
你們有研究過插圖嗎？ 它們似乎有隱意 Have you studied the engravings? They seem to have some underlying significance.
確實是這樣 But of course.
比如，這幅圖 Here, for example.
這個可能是警告的意思 This one could be interpreted as a warning:
看上去好像說「危險在前方」 實則是「禍從天降」 "Venture too far" it seems to say, "and danger will descend on you from above".
這類書籍總是有些讓人疑惑之處 These types of books often contain little puzzles.
尤其是有一位如此傑出的合著者 Especially in the case of such an illustruous collaborator.
合著者？ Collaborator?
看來你的研究沒法繼續 你要走很多彎路啊，先生 You could have not proceeded, very far in your research, Se駉r.
這裏，仔細看 Here. look close.
看到了嗎？九幅插圖只有六幅 簽有作者阿里斯緹德·拓奇亞的名 Don't you see? Only six of the nine engravings were signed by Aristide Torchia.
是啊，那另外三幅呢？ Yes. And the other three?

拓奇亞被火活活燒死 Torchia was burnt alive
因為他與別人合寫這本書 because he wrote this book in collaboration with someone else.
算了吧，你不會這麼迷信吧... Come on. You can't honestly believe...
因為作者與魔鬼達成了同盟 The man who wrote this book did so in alliance with the Devil
所以他才被處以火刑 and went to the stake for it.
即使在地獄也有英雄的，先生 Even hell has its heroes, Se駉r.

老家族就像遠古社會 But old families are like ancient civilisations,
衰敗，然後消亡 they wither and die.
它們在那，一共834本 There they are, 834 of them.
很遺憾你見不到它們輝煌的時候 What a pity you didn't see them in better times.
我曾經有五千本 I used to have 5,000.
但現在就剩這些了 But these are the survivors.
這些就是法戈斯的藏書 So this is the Fargas collection.
與我想像的頗有出入 Not quite as I imagined it I must say.
這就是生活，我的朋友 C'est la vie, my friend.
即使如此，我還是悉心照料它們 避免受潮、強光、受熱和老鼠 But I keep them in perfect conditions, safe from damp, light, heat, rats.
我每天除塵，換新鮮空氣 I dust and air them every day.
這些都是玄學類 These are the occult.
- 你覺得怎樣？ - 不俗 - What do you think? - Not bad.
是很不俗，起碼有十本極其珍貴 Not bad indeed. At least ten of them are extremely rare.
看這本，普蘭西著的《地獄典故》 Here: Plancy, "Dictionnaire Infernal",
1844年的首印本 first edition, 1844.
1571年的李奧納多·菲奧納瓦帝的 《隱秘手冊》 Leonardo Fioravanti's "Compendi dei Secreti", 1571.
還有這一本 And there it is,
完美無暇 in perfect condition.
這本書存世已達三個半世紀 It has travelled the world for three and a half centuries,
至今仍跟新的一樣 yet it might have been printed yesterday.
正常嗎？我是說... 有沒有察覺不尋常的地方？ Is it in order? I mean you haven't detected anything unusual?
不尋常？沒有 Unusual? no.
正文沒有殘缺，插圖也毫髮無損 一如目錄中所示 The text is complete, the engravings too, nine plus the title page's,
跟巴黎科斯勒、紐約特爾佛的沒什麼兩樣 as the catalogue states, just like the Kessler in Paris and the Telfer in New York.
是啊... 不再是特爾佛的了 Yes... It isn't the Telfer anymore.
特爾佛自殺了 Telfer killed himself.
他死前把書買給了波利斯·巴肯 But he sold his copy to Boris Balkan first.
啊，巴肯 Oh, Balkan.
只要他看中一本書，再貴也要買 If he sets his eye on a book no price is too high.
不過，我這本絕對不會賣 多少錢都不賣 Not that I would ever sell this one. Not at any price.
很奇怪，他已經有了一本... It's strange that he should have sent you here if he...
...為什麼還派你過來？ ...already had...
你把它帶來了？ Do you have it here?
我能看看嗎？ May I see it?
啊，漂亮 Oh, superb.
太美了，一模一樣 Beautiful. Identical.
僅存的三本中，兩本已慾火重生了 Two of the only three to escape the flames
三個世紀來的第一次相聚 reunited for the first time in over three centuries.
不錯 Yes.
看這個小瑕疵 破損的「S」 Look at this slight imperfection here, the damaged "S"...
同一字體，同一印刷 The same type, the same impression.
哦，難以置信 Oh, incredible.
要不是你的這本後面有點脫色 As you see if it wasn't for this slight discoloration on the back of your copy
沒人能分清它們 no one could tell them apart.
如果不介意我想多呆一會兒 詳細研究一下 If you don't mind I would like to stay for a while and examine them in detail.
你想研究什麼？高素先生 What are you looking for, Mr. Corso?
還不知道 I'm not quite sure.
有些書很危險，開卷招禍 Some books are dangerous, not to be opened with impunity.
的確如此 Very true.
我會被詛咒的 I'll be damned!
又見面了 Hello again.
- 你沒說你要來辛特拉[葡萄牙西部城鎮] - 你也沒有 - You didn't say you were bound for Sintra. - Neither did you.
你在這裏做什麼？ What are you doing here?
看書 Reading.
我看到了 I can see that.
碰巧還會撞見某個熟人 And bumping into people unexpectedly.
是啊，「碰巧」 Yes, unexpected is right.
你出差嗎？所以總得帶著你那個包 Are you on a business trip? Is that why you always carry that thing around?
- 這是你的課本嗎？ - 我的課本？ - Just part of your course? - My course?
《贏得人心與交友》 你說過你是學生 "Winning friends and influencing people". You said you're a student.
我說過？ Did I?
某種成熟上是 So I am, in a way.
我喜歡書，你呢？ I like books. Do you?
- 你出門很久了？ - 一段日子 - You been travelling long? - A while.
我想你還騎摩托車旅行... I don't suppose you ever travel by motorbike?
對不起，先生 你的電話 Sir? Excuse me sir. Phone call for you, sir.
- 我的？你肯定？ - 是的先生，請接聽 - For me? Are you sure? - Yes sir. Please sir...
- 喂？ - 高素先生？ - Yes? - Mr. Corso?
天啊，你怎麼找到我的？ My God, how did you find me?
- 有進展嗎？ - 進展？是的，算是吧 - Made any progress? - Progress? Yeah, you can call it that.
是嗎？ Well?
我現在不方便聽電話，我在前台 我稍後打給你，你在哪裏？ Look, I can't talk here, I'm in the lobby. Let me call you back, where are you?
沒關係，讓他們接到你房間 Nevermind that. Get them to transfer it to your room.
- 我等你 - 好吧 - I'll wait. - Alright.
對不起，先生 可以接到我房間嗎？ Se駉r, pardon me. Could you send this up to my room?
- 好的 - 非常感謝 - Yes. - Thank you very much.
- 還在嗎？ - 是的 - Still there? - Yes.
我看過法戈斯的那本了 Alright. I've examined the Fargas copy.
也不像是假的 至少看起來不是 It's authentic enough, at least it looks that way.
跟你的很相似 但還是有所出入 It's like yours, but there are discrepancies.
出入？ Discrepancies?
插圖有細微的差異 The engravings are not identical.
比如握鑰匙的手不同 Just like keys in different hands,
一本的門是開的 另一本則用磚圍砌起來... doorways open in one copy and bricked up in the other...
- 還有一個地方 - 是嗎，是什麼？ - And there's another thing. - Yes. Yes, go on.
有些插圖的簽名不是拓奇亞 而是LCF The ones that differ aren't signed Torchia. They're signed LCF.
- 你在聽嗎？ - LCF - Still there? - LCF.
聽著，你究竟在哪裏？ Listen, where are you anyway?
我必須得到那本書 高素先生 I must have that copy, Mr. Corso.
幫我拿到它 Get it for me.
那老頭已經說白了，他堅決不賣 The old man wouldn't sell it to save his life. He said as much.
真的？ Did he?
喂？喂？ Hello? Hello?
等一下 Just a minute!
- 現在幾點了？ - 還早，但你要起程了 - What time is it? - Early, but you have to go.
- 起程？去哪？ - 法戈斯家 - Go? Go where? - To Fargas' place.
我已經拜訪過他了 I've already seen Fargas.
我想你最好再去一趟 I think you should see him again.
你這算什麼？惡作劇嗎？ 你到底是誰？ What is this, some kind of practical joke? Who are you?
- 你知道法戈斯什麼事？ - 穿衣服，我在外面等你 - What do you know about Fargas? - Get dressed. I'll wait for you outside.
別敲了，他不在裏面 Don't bother. He isn't there.
- 哦是嗎，那他在哪？ - 在那邊 - Oh really, then where is he? - Over there.
萬能的主啊... God Almighty...
你要進去？ You want to get inside?
是啊，這還用問 I had thought about it, yes.
你呆在這 You wait here.
可惡！ Shit!
你找到它了？ Well, did you find it?
嘿，我才意識到你知道的這麼多！ You know, it's come to my attention that you know too goddam much.
你為什麼跟蹤我？ 誰派你來的？ Why do you keep following me around? Who are you working for?
別浪費時間問東問西的了 我們最好先離開這裏 You're wasting time asking all these questions. We better get out of here.
中午有一趟從里斯本到巴黎的班機 我們必須趕上 There's a flight from Lisbon to Paris at noon. We should just make it.
- 「我們」是誰？ - 除了你跟我，還有誰？ - What's with the "we"? - There are two of us, aren't there?
那裏到底發生了什麼？ What happened back there?
我猜，老頭子是遇上了小偷了 The old man caught someone stealing, I guess.
- 那你認為他怎麼會喪命？ - 他溺水了 - And what do you guess happened to him? - He drowned.
- 誰淹死他的？ - 他已經死了，誰在乎？ - With a little help from who? - He's dead, who cares?
我在乎 I do.
我也可能會一不留神就掛掉 I could easily end up the same way.
跟我在一起就不會，我會保護你 Not with me around to look after you.
- 哦，是啊，你是我的守護天使 - 你說是就是 - Oh I see, you're my guardian angel. - If you say so...
- 有人在跟我玩遊戲 - 當然，你是主角之一 - Someone is playing a game with me. - Of course, you're part of it.
你會喜歡上它的 And you're getting to like it.
不用找了 Keep the change.
你好，古伯 Hello Gruber.
你好，高素先生 很高興又見到你 Hello Mr. Corso. Delighted to see you again.
我們雖然客滿，不過... We don't have any vacancies, but...
總會有辦法的，請你放心 I'm sure I'll be able to organise something.
- 非常感謝，請收下... - 謝謝，先生 - Thank you very much. Please... - Thank you, sir.
- 對不起 - 你好，夫人 - Excuse me? - Good morning madam.
科斯勒基金會在這嗎？ The Kessler Foundation, please.
- 二樓 - 謝謝 - Second floor. - Thank you.
下午好 Good afternoon.
我是迪安·高素 我和科斯勒男爵夫人約好了 I'm Dean Corso, I have an appointment with Baroness Kessler.
這邊 This way.
你有三十分鐘 You have thirty minutes.
- 什麼事？ - 高素先生來了 - Yes? - Monsieur Corso.
哦是的，高素先生，請進 Oh yes, Mr. Corso. Come in.
久仰你的大名啊 I've heard a great deal about you.
- 是臭名遠揚吧 - 你真識趣 - Nothing good I hope. - You hoped right.
謝謝你，西蒙尼 Thanks, Simone.
呃，很高興你這樣說 男爵夫人，因為... Well, I'm reassured, Baroness, because
幹我們這行，口碑好的... in my trade to be spoken well of
就只能喝西北風 can be professionally disastrous.
天啊 My God.
是的，這就是科斯勒藏書 Yes, there it is. The Kessler Collection.
你知道嗎，我幾乎背得出你的書目 You know I know your catalogue almost by heart?
真遺憾，我們早該見面 Strange we haven't met before.
藏書界中，你是響噹噹的人物 Your name is a byword among dealers and collectors.
當然，你的名聲你自己最清楚 But I imagine you know your own reputation better than I do.
是啊，也僅僅是勉強度日 Yes, well it does keep the wolf from the door, so to speak.
失禮了男爵夫人， 不知您最近在忙什麼？ I'm sorry Baroness. Where you in the middle of something?
我最近寫的書： Of my latest work:
《魔鬼的歷史和神話》 類似於自傳 "The Devil, History and Myth". A kind of biography.
在明年年初會出版 It will be published early next year.
- 為什麼寫魔鬼？ - 我曾經見過他一面 - Why the Devil? - I saw him one day.
我那時15歲，至今我還記得很清楚 I was 15 years old and I saw him as plain as I see you now.
就像一見鍾情 It was love at first sight.
你知道，在三百年前... You know, 300 years ago
你說這些話是要遭火焚的 you'd have been burned at the stake for saying something like that.
三百年前我就不會說了 300 years ago I wouldn't have said it.
當然也不會寫書來賺大錢 Nor would I have made a million by writing about it.
是啊 Yeah.
你來所為何事？高素先生 What is it you wish to discuss, Mr. Corso?
你這裏有一本書，我想研究研究 There's a book in your collection I'd like to examine if possible.
書名是《地獄九道門》 It's the book of "The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows".
《九道門》？ 一本獨特的著作 The "Nine Gates"? An interesting work.
最近似乎引起不少人興趣 Everyone's been asking me about it lately.
真的嗎？ Is that so?
跟我來 Follow me.
你真的相信魔鬼嗎？男爵夫人 You truly believe in the Devil, Baroness?
相信到願意為他 奉獻一生和我的圖書館 Enough to devote my life and my library to him.
更不用說我這些年寫的書了 Not to mention many years of work.
你不相信？ Don't you?
差點相信 Almost.
看這本書要有強烈的信念 This book demands a certain amount of faith.
是啊，可惜我最近信念不足 Well, I'm afraid my faith's in short supply these days.
我很熟悉這本書，研讀了多年 I know this work extremely well. I studied it for years.
你有沒有懷疑過不是真本？ Do you have any doubts about its authenticity?
毫不懷疑 Not wheresoever.
你肯定？ Are you sure?
我對這本書瞭若指掌 My knowledge of this book is profound.
還給其作者寫過傳記 I wrote a biography of its author.
是的，我拜過： 《魔鬼門生阿里斯緹德·拓奇亞》 Yes, I read it: "Aristide Torchia, the Devil's Apprentice",
精彩之作 Excellent work.
一個狂人 A corageous man.
他因為這本奇書死於1667年 He died for the sake of this very book in 1667.
他在布拉格學習魔法的時候 While studying the Black Arts in Prague,
得到了這一本恐怖的書 《Delomelanicon》 he acquired a copy of the dread "Delomelanicon".
這本撒旦親著的書， This is Torchia's adaptation of that work
被拓奇亞改編成了現在這本書 which was written by Lucifer himself.
就在他們燒死他之後 After they burned him at the stake, a secret society
有人組成秘密會社紀念他 was founded, to perpetuate its memory,
並把書的秘密代代相傳 and preserve its secrets.
「銀蛇會」 "The Order of the Silver Serpent".
什麼，是教派嗎？ What, a sect?
某種巫師聚會 A kind of witches' coven.
幾世紀來，他們在會上都要吟誦這本書 For centuries they've met to read from this book
膜拜魔鬼 and worship the Prince of Darkness.
如今這個組織淪為某種社交俱樂部 Today it's degenerated into a social club
只對那些有錢人或名人開放 for bored millionaires and celebrities,
他們用開會作幌子 who use its meetings as an excuse
實則是為了放縱他們低級的性慾 to indulge their jaded sexual appetites.
我曾經也是這個組織的會員 I myself belonged to the Order,
那是多年前的事了 years ago.
我現在的年紀，時間很寶貴 But time is too precious at my age
放蕩的日子已經過去了 besides my orgy days are over.
我跟讓他們說見鬼去吧 I told them to go to the Devil.
他們聚會就了縱慾？... You mean it's all about sex or...
當然不是 Of course not.
他們很愛虛榮，認為獲得會員資格 They're under the illusion that they owe their money and success
就是身份或成功的象徵 to membership in the Order.
- 他們仍有聚會嗎？ - 每年 - Do they still meet? - Every year,
每逢拓奇亞忌日 on the anniversary of Torchia's death.
會期很快就到了 They'll be meeting very soon now.
- 他們用的是你這本書？ - 不是 - And you said they read from this book. - Not this one.
莉阿娜·特爾佛從托萊多買了一本 我就把我的那本拿回來了 I took mine back when Liana Telfer acquired the one in Toledo.
維克托·法戈斯是異教徒 Victor Fargas is an unbeliever,
他一向拒絕參加， 所以他們自然就想到了特爾佛的那本 he's always refused to partecipate so naturally they use the Telfer copy.
但從沒有奏效 Not that it has ever worked.
安德魯·特爾佛從沒參加過？ Did Andrew Telfer ever take part?
特爾佛？不，沒有... Telfer? Oh, no, no...
那個婊子莉阿娜為了錢嫁給他 That creature Liana, married him for his money.
她出生於一個歷史悠久的法國貴族家庭 She comes from an old and aristocratic French family,
娘家姓「德·聖·馬丁」 這個家庭當時很潦倒 The "De Saint-Martins", but they were penniless.
莉阿娜利用特爾佛給她家治富 So Liana used his dollars to restore her castle
還讓他買下《九道門》 and buy the "Nine Gates".
要是特爾佛發現她老婆參與聚會 If he ever finds out what his wife gets up to at these gatherings
他很可能會自殺 he'll probably kill himself.
你不幸言中，男爵夫人 上個禮拜他上吊身亡 Funny you should say that, Baroness. He hung himself last week.
究竟誰派你來的？高素先生 Who exactly are you working for, Mr. Corso?
我客戶是誰並不重要，男爵夫人 My client's name is irrelevant, Baroness.
我只不過是給他鑒書 I'm simply trying to authenticate his copy,
就是特爾佛死前買給他的 just the one that Telfer sold him before he died.
我真是蠢！早就應該料到 How stupid of me! I should have guessed.
我要下逐客令了，高素先生 You've out stage of welcome, Mr. Corso.
我只是想詳細研究你那本書 I was hoping to examine your copy in detail.
休想 Certainly not.
告訴你的客戶， 也只可能是波利斯·巴肯 Tell your client, who can only be Boris Balkan,
他要是敢的話， 儘管親自過來研究 to come and examinate himself, if he dares.
叫他不必再派些「披羊皮的狼」來了 Tell him not to send any more wolves in sheep clothing.
現在立刻出去 Now kindly leave.
好吧，很抱歉打擾了 Well, I'm sorry if I troubled you.
十分感謝你抽空見我 Thank you very much for your time.
你搞不懂你現在的處境 高素先生 You don't know what you're getting yourself into, Mr. Corso.
剩還來的及趕快收手吧 Get out before it's too late.
恐怕已經來不及了 再見，男爵夫人 I'm afraid it already is, Baroness. Good day.
謝了 Thanks.
碎掉了 They're broken.
你應該小心點 You should be more careful.
- 有件事拜託你，古伯 - 儘管吩咐，高素先生 - I need a favour, Gruber. - Certainly, Mr. Corso.
莉阿娜·特爾佛 Liana Telfer,
婚前姓德·聖·馬丁 四十多歲，褐色皮膚，迷人 Maiden name De Saint-Martin, 40ish, brunette, dishy,
也許有個隨從... probably accompanied by
黑人紳士 a black gentleman with
平頭 closely cropped
銀灰色頭髮 留小鬍子 platinum blonde hair, and a moustache.
我想知道他們住在巴黎哪家賓館 I wanna know if they're staying in some hotel here in Paris.
這要花點時間... It'll take a little time...
是的，當然。從五星級賓館開始查 這是最快的 Yes, of course. Start with the "Five Stars". That's your best bet.
- 好的，先生 - 好的 - Very well sir. - Alright.
你還好吧？ Are you feeling alright?
我感覺好多了 謝謝你，古伯 I've felt better, Gruber. Thanks.
找到他們，通知我 Let me know if you locate.
把這個 Put this
敷在脖子後面 against the back of your neck.
你在河畔很有一手 You were really great on there by the river.
我還沒向你道謝呢 I haven't thanked you for that.
好吧，聽著... Alright. Look...
我想是時候你告訴我 這裏所發生的一切了 I think it's about time you told me what's going on here.
- 有人要搶你的書 - 別開玩笑了 - Someone's after your book. - No kidding.
那麼你呢，為誰工作？ And you? what do you feed into it?
是 Yeah?
我到前台接聽好嗎？ Can I take it in the reception please?
謝謝，我馬上下來 Alright. I'll be right down.
- 說吧 - 有新消息嗎？ - Yes? - Anything new?
啊，又是你 Oh, His Master's voice again.
沒有，沒新鮮的 No, not much,
事實上倒有人幾次想要我的命 aside from the fact somene has tried to take my life a couple of times
沒錯. 法戈斯被謀殺了 Oh yes. Fargas has been murdered.
被謀殺？你怎麼知道的？ Murdered? How do you know?
我親眼所見. 還有他的書 I saw him. And his copy.
或者說是別人丟掉的 Or what was left of it anyway.
有人把插圖撕下來，把剩下的燒掉了 Someone had snatched the engravings and tried to burn the rest.
- 你認為怎麼樣？ - 慘，好慘... - What do you make of it? - It's tragic, it's tragic...
科斯勒男爵夫人那邊呢？ 有沒有什麼進展？ What about Baroness Kessler? How did you get on today?
- 你究竟在哪？ - 看過她那本嗎？ - Where exactly are you? - What about her copy?
沒有，為什麼我總有種 被你掐緊喉嚨的感覺？ No, why do I get the impression that you've been breathing down my neck the entire time?
我花了錢雇你，高素先生 我真的很關心事情的進展 You're an investment of mine, Mr. Corso. I'm really looking after it.
老太太發誓她那本是真的 The old woman swears her copy's authentic.
但她不讓我仔細研究 But I didn't get the chance to examine it closely.
當她知道是你在背後指使， 我就被她趕了出來 She threw me out as soon as she guessed that you were behind my visit.
她對你沒有什麼好感 我想你明白我的意思 You're not exactly in her good books, if you know what I mean.
你必須再去一趟 You must see her again.
開玩笑嗎？ 你是沒見過她的秘書！ Are you kidding? Have you seen her secretary?
試試看午餐時間 Try the launch break.
喂？ Hello?
- 你們這有影印機嗎？ - 有的，先生 - Do you have a photocopy machine back there? - Yes sir.
- 我可以用嗎？ - 當然，先生 - Can I use it? - Of course, sir.
謝謝 Thank you.
你好，男爵夫人 是我，「披羊皮的狼」 Yes. Hello, Baroness. It's me, the wolf in sheep's clothing.
我想我講的很清楚了，高素 I thought I made myself bright clear, Mr. Corso.
好吧... Well...
我有件東西給你，男爵夫人 I've got something for you, Baroness.
一份友好的誠意 請允許我把它交給你？ Kind of peace offering. Will you allow me to give it to you?
好嗎？ Please?
首先容我道歉 First let me apologise.
我應該一開始就告訴你， 我替波利斯·巴肯做事 I should have told you right away that I work for Boris Balkan.
我真蠢， 以為能瞞過你這樣精明的人 It was foolish of me to think that I could deceive someone as astute as yourself, so
請原諒我 please forgive me.
不必奉承了，高素 Flattering will get you nowhere, Mr. Corso.
直說吧 Get on with it.
好吧 Right.
這些 These
是給你的 are for you.
這是什麼？ What is this?
這是怎麼回事？ What is this supposed to be?
你說你對《九道門》瞭若指掌對嗎 You said that your knowledge of "The Nine Gates" was extensive, but
但你有沒有拿兩本書進行過比較？ did you ever compare your copy with the other two?
沒有 No.
為何要？ Why?
你應該比較一下 Well, you should.
這些是巴肯那本中的插圖 These are copies of the engravings in Balkan's book.
- 你會發現跟你的有所不同 - 不同？ - You'll find that some of them differ from yours. - Differ?
你懷疑我的那本是假的？ So you question my book's authenticity, do you?
如果這就是你所謂的「誠意」 那麼你可以立馬走人 It that's your peace offering you can take it and go.
我的《九道門》絕對真實 Mine "Nine Gates" is absolutely genuine.
我可沒說話，男爵夫人 I don't dispute that, Baroness.
要我說，三本都是真的 In my opinion all three copies are genuine.
但事實上插圖的確有變化 But the fact remains they display variations.
變化？ Variations?
果真如此的話，那可是個新發現 If that were true it would be a revelation.
你怎麼這麼肯定？ What makes you so sure?
我已經對比過法戈斯這本的插圖 I've already compared these with the Fargas engravings.
在他的書裏 In his book
鑰匙在另一隻手中 th keys were in the other hand.
這堵門沒有結磚 Here the doorway wasn't bricked up.
這裏，被吊的人是另一支腳 And in this one the man was hanging by the other leg.
- 怎樣？ - 什麼怎樣？ - Well? - Well what?
近點看，男爵夫人 Look closely, Baroness.
塔樓 The turrets.
你這本是三座 巴肯的是四座 Three in yours, four in Balkan's.
太神奇了 Amazing.
我確信在這本書某處 會找到第三處不同 I'm convinced there'll be a third one in here somewhere.
三個版本，三個變化 加起來就是九個 Three variations in three copies makes nine.
是巧合嗎？抑或另有玄機？ Coincidence or something more.
拓奇亞可能將秘密 分別藏於這三本書中 Maybe Torchia hid the secret of "The Nine Gates" in three books, not one.
我承認你打動我了 I must admit I'm impressed.
現在事情的整個局面都不同了 This puts an entirely different complexion on the matter.
我同意你進行深入的研究，高素 You have my permission to investigate further, Mr. Corso.
花多長時間都行 Take as long as you need.
我可沒同意你吸煙啊，高素 My permission did not extend to that, Mr. Corso.
誰也不准在我的書房裏吸煙 Nobody smokes in my library.
男爵夫人 Baroness?
白癡！ Idiot!
對不起，我房間失竊了 Excuse me. There's something missing from my room.
- 我走了有人到過我房間嗎？ - 你夫人，先生 - Has anyone been up there while I was out? - Only your wife, sir.
我夫人？ 我還沒結婚呢 My wife? I don't have a wife!
對不起，先生 Excuse me sir.
喂？是，他在我前面 Yes? Yes, he's in front of me.
好的 Alright.
你的電話，先生 二號電話亭 For you sir. Booth nomber two.
是我 Yes?
有什麼新消息？ What news?
新消息？ News?
我想想看... 好吧, Let me see... Well,
好消息是我研究到了老太太的書 yes, the good news is that I got to examine the old woman's book.
其中有三幅圖簽名是LCF and three of her engravings were signed LCF.
壞消息是有人勒死了她 The bad news is that someone strangled her
