打开它 Open it.
不要 Don't.
- 我们得看下是不是有东西 - 我知道 We've got to see if there's anything- - I know.
但还不是时候 But not just yet.
我们等一分钟看看 Let's stay this way for a minute.
菲利普,我们时间无多 Phillip, we don't have too much time.
是这里的黑暗让你害怕吧 没人在黑暗中会感到安全的 It's the darkness that's got you down. Nobody ever feels really safe in the dark.
谁都会害怕的.对不 我拉开窗帘了,好吗？ Nobody who's ever a child, that is. I'll open these, all right ?
这样好多了 There, that's much better.
多么美丽的夜晚啊！ What a lovely evening.
我们没在明亮的日光下 干这事真是可惜 Pity we couldn't have done it with the curtains open in the bright sunlight.
哦...总不能 天时地利人和都有吧 Well... Can't have everything, can we ?
我们白天干的 好啦,菲利普？ We did do it in daytime. All right now, Phillip ?
- 是 - 好的.你最好把那些丢一边去 Yes. Good. You better put those away.
把他们夹在我那在 金属盒子后面的支票本里 Put them in my checkbook drawer behind that metal box.
现在... 它就像博物馆的展品似的 Now... it's a museum piece now.
我们真该把它 保存起来,留给子孙们 We really should preserve it for posterity,
这么美的水晶 我不舍得单独留一只 except, it's such good crystal and I'd hate to break up the set.
这个杯,就是 戴维.肯特里最后喝酒的杯子 Out of this, David Kentley had his last drink.
应该是姜酒或是啤酒 It should have been ginger ale or even beer.
我一直以为像戴维的性格 他不喝像威士忌那么烈的酒 I've always thought it was out of character for David to drink anything as corrupt as whisky.
像他的性格他还不会被人谋杀呢 Out of character for him to be murdered too.
没错,不是吗？好的美国人通常 青年时就战死在战场上,不是吗？ Yes, wasn't it ? But good Americans usually die young on the battlefield, don't they ?
哦,像这样的 戴维只会占地方 Well, the Davids of this world merely occupy space,
所以他是完美 谋杀的完美对像 which is why he was the perfect victim for the perfect murder.
还有因为他是 哈佛的毕业生 'Course, he was a Harvard undergraduate.
这更有理由让我们杀他 That might make it justifiable homicide.
他现在死了,我们也 杀了他.但是他还在这里 He's dead and we've killed him. But he's still here.
椄下来的八个小时里 他会安静地在湖底歇息 In less than eight hours he'll be resting gently at the bottom of a lake.
与此同时,他会在这里 Meanwhile, he's here.
- 你在做什么？ - 这还没上锁的 What are you doing ? It's not locked.
这更好.更危险了 锁旧了,不能用了 All the better. It's much more dangerous. The lock's old, it won't work.
我希望它还能用 我希望把他弄走 I wish it would. I wish we had him out of here.
我希望他是别人 I wish it were somebody else.
晚一点没什么大不了,不是吗？ It's a trifle late for that, don't you think ?
你比较喜欢谁？肯尼斯？ Whom would you have preferred ? Kenneth ?
我也不知道.我想 I don't know. I suppose anyone was as good...
谁或谁都一样 or as bad as any other.
也许是你.你吓到我了 You, perhaps. You frighten me.
你向来都是如此 读预科时候开始就这样了 You always have, from that very first day in prep school.
也许这也是 你迷人的地方 Part of your charm, I suppose.
我,我只是在开玩笑,布兰登 I, I'm only kidding, Brandon.
我不能像你处理得那么好 所以我就胡言乱语了 I can't take it as well as you, so I'm turning on you a little.
- 这么做真蠢,不是吗？ - 是的,很蠢 That's rather foolish, isn't it ? Yes, very.
我现在可以喝点东西了吗 May I have a drink now ?
一定要.这可是个节日 我们来点香槟如何 By all means. This is an occasion. It calls for champagne.
- 香槟？ - 我放了几瓶在冰箱里 Champagne ? I put some in the icebox.
- 你什么时候放的？ - 戴维来的时候放的 When did you put it there ? Just before David arrived.
- 你早知道会这样,不是吗？ - 没错 You were certain it would come off, weren't you ? Of course.
你知道我一动手 就要做到最好的 You know I never did anything unless I did it perfectly.
我常希望自己 能做得更有艺术性 I've always wished for more artistic talent.
哦,谋杀也是一种艺术 Well, murder can be an art too.
杀人能带来的 满足感就像创作一样 The power to kill can be just as satisfying as the power to create.
菲利普,你知道我们真的做了 就像我们计划的一样？ Phillip, do you realize we've actually done it, exactly as we planned ?
并且没有漏掉任何步骤 真是太完美了 And not a single thing has gone wrong. It was perfect.
- 没错 - 完美的谋杀！ Yes. An immaculate murder !
我们安全地杀掉了他 We've killed for the sake of danger and for the sake of killing.
我们还活着 真实地.美妙地活着 We're alive, truly and wonderfully alive.
喝香槟还不够,不够 Even champagne isn't equal to us, or the occasion. I'll take it, though.
你现在不怕了吧,对不？ You aren't really frightened any more, are you ?
你不能怕 我们两个都不能 You can't have fear. Neither of us can.
这就是我们和普通人的区别 That's the difference between us and the ordinary men.
他们只会说说那些 完美的案子却不敢去做 They talk about committing the perfect crime but nobody does it.
- 没人敢杀人... - 给我 Nobody commits a murder... Here.
没有人敢试下杀人的滋味 just for the experiment of committing it,
除了我们 nobody except us.
- 你不再怕了,对不？ - 我不怕了 You're not frightened any more, are you ? No.
也不怕我了？ Not even of me ?
- 不怕 - 那好 No. That's good.
你只是吓了我一跳 就像往常那样 You just astound me, as always.
那样更好 That's even better.
敬戴维 To David, of course.
- 布兰登,你觉得怎样？ - 什么时候？ Brandon, how did you feel ? When ?
杀的时候 During it.
我不知道,真的 我不记得当时有什么感觉 I don't know, really. I don't remember feeling very much of anything.
知道他的身子变软... Until his body went limp...
- 我才知道一切都结束了 - 然后呢？ and I knew it was over. And then ?
然后...我感到一阵狂喜 And then... I felt tremendously exhilarated.
你觉得呢？ H- How did you feel ?
哦,我... Oh, I- - I- -
布兰登,你不认为 举行宴会是个错误吗？ Brandon, you don't think the party's a mistake, do you ?
不,宴会能锦上添花 No, the party's the finishing touch to our work.
它还有更多意思 它是艺术的标志 It's more; it's the signature of the artist.
没有举行宴会就像 Not having it would be like, uh- -
画了画却不裱起来？ Painting the picture and not hanging it ?
我认为这么说不大恰当 I don't think that's a very good choice of words.
举行宴会给我们更多地选择 It may turn out to be a little too choice, thanks to the party.
哦,胡说.宴会将会 令人经历前所未有的兴奋 Oh, rot. This party will be the most exciting ever given.
- 和这些人们？ - 嗯,我知道他们很闷 With these people ? Oh, they're a dull crew, all right.
肯特里一家最闷.但是 无论如何我们都得忍受 The Kentleys couldn't be duller if they tried, but we did have to have them.
毕竟他们是戴维的父母亲 After all, they are David's mother and father.
所以和他们谈不容易 That doesn't make them any easier to talk to.
别担心.珍妮会拍 他们马屁的,可怜的女孩 Don't worry. Janet'll be buttering them up, poor girl.
她可是不惜 一切地在钓戴维上钩 She's banked everything on hooking David.
我总觉得她不会成功的 Somehow, I don't think she's going to succeed.
- 你也这么觉得？ - 不,我不这么认为 Do you ? No, somehow, I don't.
今晚她可以转去钓肯尼斯 Well, she can switch back to Kenneth tonight.
你必须得承认 我这人考虑周到 You must admit, it was most considerate of me,
特别是在处理近来的事情上 in view of recent events, to provi- -
- 菲利普 - 怎么了？ Phillip. What ?
- 拿另外一只 - 为什么？ Take the other one. What for ?
没事的.跟我来 Never mind. Come with me.
- 这要干嘛？ - 等着瞧,这一切会很棒的 What's this all about ? You'll see. It's brilliant !
你到底在搞什么鬼？ What the devil are you doing ?
让我们所作的一切成为杰作 Making our work of art a masterpiece.
- 别太过分了 - 为什么？你是什么意思？ You're going too far. Why? What do you mean ?
我只是想在 这里吃饭会不错的 I just thought it'd be nice to have supper in here.
在这上面 On this.
这不是很好吗？ Isn't it a good idea ?
起码这么做 没有人会想去打开它 Well, at least this way no one will try to open it.
我想你不会喜欢我的,菲利普 I don't think you appreciate me, Phillip.
我开始会了,勃兰顿 I'm beginning to, Brandon.
好了,来吧,我们没时间了 Well, come on, we don't have too much time.
威尔逊夫人很快就回来了 Mrs. Wilson will be coming back soon.
你忘了跟她借钥匙？ 我想最好... Did you forget to borrow her key ? I might've known better than to- -
我没忘.我有她的钥匙 我告诉她说我的那把丢了 I didn't forget. I have her key. I told her I lost mine.
哦,这很好 你打算跟他们解释吗？ Oh, good. How are you going to explain this to them ?
- 我不 - 我们得有其他借口 I'm not. We've got to have some excuse.
我们不想让我们尊贵的 客人吃饭时单独呆着 We don't want to leave our guest of honor alone during supper.
勃兰顿,我们得有个 借口向其他人解释 Brandon, we've got to have an excuse for the others.
够了,够了,让我想想 All right, all right. Let me think.
说真的,你太容易心烦了 Really, you get much too upset much too easily.
我们有个很简单的借口... We have a very simple excuse...
就在这 right here.
你在担心什么,菲利普？ What are you worrying about, Phillip ?
肯特里先生主要是 过来看这些书,不如... Mr. Kentley's coming mainly to look at these books. What could be better than...
我们把书摆到餐厅的桌上... to have them out laid out on the dining room table...
这样他会很容易找到这些书的 where the poor old man can easily get at them.
我们真是考虑周全 Considerate, aren't we ? [ Phone Ringing ]
你好？哦,当然 Hello ? Oh, of course.
- 你去弄书 - 谁？ You start on the books- - Who is it ?
威尔逊太太 Mrs. Wilson.
布兰登 Brandon.
布兰登！ Brandon !
搞什么鬼？难道你不知道... What the devil? Don't you have any more sense than to- -
这是什么？哦,继续 把它拖出去,我不行 What is it ? Well, go on, yank it out. I can't.
如果威尔逊太太在这 她会帮你把它拖出去的 If Mrs. Wilson were here, she'd yank it out for you.
在别人面前如此 愚蠢的展示就像认罪似的 A stupid display like that in front of somebody else will be just as good as a confession.
现在,你拿这些 还要把握好你自己 Now, take these and get ahold of yourself.
如果你不拉上窗帘的话 我一早就看到它了 If you'd let me keep the light on, I'd have seen it.
好了！你什么都好 All right ! You're perfect.
我们不得不如此,菲利普 你我只能承认做错了一件事 We have to be, Phillip. We agreed there was only one crime either of us could commit.
我们只做错了一件事 那就是太虚弱了 The crime of making a mistake. Being weak is a mistake.
- 难道是因为人的本性？ - 这很正常的 Because it's being human ? Because it's being ordinary.
我不会让你或者我做... I won't let either of us do- - [ Door Buzzer ]
你欠我2.40美元 的士费,加上小费 You owe me $2.40 for taxis, including the tip.
要不是因为塞车 我半个小时前就到了 If it weren't for the traffic, I'd have been here a half hour ago.
好了.我们也希望 你这个时候才到 It's just as well. We didn't expect you back until now.
我去了5家店才弄回来 我喜欢的特别的发型 I went to five stores for the special pate we like.
但是好贵.哼！我不知道 我干嘛那么浪费自己的钱 But the prices- - huh ! I couldn't see any reason for throwing away our good money.
所以,我去了那家 卡德先生常去的小餐馆 So, I went downtown to that little delicatessen where Mr. Cadell goes.
但是,下一次要是我们要 举行宴会的话,我打算只... But I tell ya, the next time we give a party, I'm only going- -
晚上好,威尔逊太太 Good evening, Mrs. Wilson.
什么,能不能告诉我 我的桌子怎么了？ What, may I ask, is happening to my table ?
我们打算搬些东西过来这边 We're just moving the things in here.
哦... Well...
我个人认为 我的桌子挺好看的 I personally thought my table was quite lovely.
噢,是很不错 Oh, it was quite lovely.
但您看,肯特里先生会 看下我放在箱子里的旧书 But you see, Mr. Kentley is coming to look at these old books I had in the chest.
我想您不喜欢看到那老头 得蹲下来看我那些书吧 And I'm sure you wouldn't want the poor old man to have to get down on his knees to see them.
- 嗯,我觉得它看起来很怪 - 很怪？ Well, I think it looks downright peculiar. Peculiar ?
很怪.尤其是那些蜡烛台 放在这很不适宜 Very. Particularly those candlesticks. They don't belong there.
我倒是觉得那些 有点像...像祭坛 On the contrary, I think they suggest a, a ceremonial altar...
可以堆放用来祭祀的牲口 which you can heap with the foods for our sacrificial feast.
哦,堆放起来倒是不错 对我来说,这地方还不够放 Hmph, heap is right. Isn't enough room for me to set things up properly,
- 是那吗,菲利普先生？ - 可以 is there, Mr. Phillip ? Oh, you can make it do.
- 你们别折磨我这老骨头了 - 这书怎么办？ You two'll be the death of me. What's to be done with the books ?
把他们放在餐桌上 Lay them on the dining room table.
我觉得这挺疯狂的 It's a crazy idea, if you ask me.
好了,我不和你们吵这个问题了 无论如何我还是觉得它很怪 Well, I have too much to do to discuss this thoroughly, dear. I still think it's peculiar.
- 怎么了？ - 我相信她一定注意到了 What's the matter ? I was sure she'd notice.
- 注意到什么？ - 当然是那绳了 Notice what ? The rope, of course.
- 我们得把它藏起来 - 为什么？ We've got to hide it. Why ?
为什么？对呀？为什么 要藏起来？那只是条绳 Why ? Yes, why ? It's only a piece of rope,
那只是普通家庭都会 有的东西,干嘛藏起来？ An ordinary household article, why hide it ?
它该放在厨房抽屉里的 It belongs in the kitchen drawer.
- 威尔逊太太？ - 怎么了？ Mrs. Wilson ? Yes ?
冰箱里有香槟 There's champagne in the icebox.
- 我们不打算喝香槟吧？ - 不,我们要喝 We're not giving them champagne ? We are.
哦,那真有开宴会的气氛了 我得打扮打扮才行 Oh, it's going to be that kind of party. I'd better doll up a little.
我们在卡德先生家时 只在重要场合才喝香槟的 We only serve champagne at Mr. Cadell's on very high occasions.
事实上 他在我生日时和我喝过一杯 Matter of fact, he and I once had a glass together on my birthday.
今晚你将有机会 和他重温下旧梦 Tonight you'll have an opportunity to renew that romance.
- 我能吗？ - 卡特先生就来了 May I ? Mr. Cadell's coming.
哦,卡特先生真好 Oh, my. Mr. Cadell is terribly nice.
- 茹伯特就来了？ - 是的,我想我告诉你了 Rupert's coming ? Yes, I thought I told you.
你没告诉我,我很高兴能为 卡特先生工作.他真是个绅士！ No, you didn't. I did enjoy working for Mr. Cadell. Such a gentleman !
有人说他有点怪,但我常想... Some people say he's a little peculiar, but I always thi- -
哦,你让我说完 Well, you might let me finish.
我以为你喜欢茹伯特 I thought you liked Rupert.
- 我是喜欢他 - 哦,那好 I do. Well, then.
茹伯特是这个世界上 最容易起疑心的人 Of all the people on this Earth, Rupert Cadell is the one man most likely to suspect.
他将会欣赏我们所做的事情 这样带有艺术气息的事情 He's the one man who might appreciate this from our angle, the artistic one.
那才让人兴奋,我很高兴 这令你很兴奋.这让我很紧张 That's what's exciting. I'm glad it excites you. It frightens me.
我想你最好小声点 I suggest you keep your voice down.
别人太好糊弄也太闷了 It would have been too easy with the others and too dull.
而茹伯特呢 我曾想让他加入我们 As for Rupert, I once thought of inviting him to join us.
- 你干嘛不呢？更多人更好玩 - 因为他没那勇气 Why didn't you ? The more the merrier. Because he hasn't the nerve.
说实在的,他才不会参加呢 他那么有才气 Oh, intellectually, he could've come along. He's brilliant.
但是他很挑剔.我们该邀请 他参加的.他会喜欢的 But he's a too fastidious. He could've invented, he could've admired.
他才不会参加我们.我们更优秀 我们有勇气,茹伯特才没有 He never could have acted. We're superior. We have courage, Rupert doesn't.
卡特先生为了他的勇气 在战争中坏了条腿 Mr. Cadell got a bad leg in the war for his courage.
菲利普先生 你的袖子弄到芹菜了 You've got your sleeve in the celery, Mr. Phillip.
他们到了.我们准备好了吗？ [ Door Buzzer ] They're here. Are we ready ?
准备好了 As ready as we'll ever be.
你该不是练琴太累了 什么也没吃吧.太瘦了 Don't you be so busy at that piano that you don't eat anything. Getting too thin.
你要在他们吃光 那菜前吃上几口 And don't you let them gobble up that pate before you have any.
希望能成功 噢,我的盘子 Let's hope it's a success. Oh, my tray.
拿去厨房.我去开门 Take it in the kitchen. I'll answer the door.
要是你不动我的桌子 会这么乱糟糟的吗？ There wouldn't be this last minute hustle bustle if you'd kept my table- -
好玩的现在开场了 Now the fun begins.
你好,请进.你好呀,布兰登 Hello, come in. [ Man ] How are you, Brandon ?
- 你好.把帽子放那就行了 - 谢谢 Fine. Just put your hat there. Thank you.
我等了会门是的 所以我在电话里语无伦次 It's been quite awhile. Yes, that's why I sounded so stupid on the phone.
感到惊奇吧 [ Man ] Surprised, I guess. [ Brandon Laughs ]
- 你好,肯尼斯.很高兴见到你 - 我也是 Hello, Kenneth. Good to see you. You too.
- 太晚起床了？ - 哦,没什么 Been up to much lately ? Oh, nothing to speak of. You ?
在给考试做准备 我得在考试前把东西都背熟 Trying to get ready for exams. I always have to start cramming before everybody else.
- 我是第一个到吗？ - 是的 Am I the first ? You are.
我怎么参加 宴会老是早到呢？ Why is it I'm always too early at parties ?
也许你常能准时 Probably because you're always on time.
威尔逊太太,香槟 Mrs. Wilson, champagne.
今天不是谁的生日吧？ It isn't someone's birthday, is it ?
别担心,肯尼斯 恰好与之相反 Don't look so worried, Kenneth. It's really almost the opposite.
相反？菲利普今晚 想暂时与世界告别 The opposite ? Phillip's bidding the world a temporary farewell tonight.
宴会后我开车 带他去康涅狄格州 I'm driving him up to Connecticut after the party.
- 你们去哪里？ - 去布兰登妈妈家几个星期 Where are you going ? Just to Brandon's mother's place for a few weeks.
- 我得闭关修炼 - 噢？ I'm to be locked up. What ?
确保每天他会练习6小时 我给他安排了初次表演 To make sure he practices six hours a day. I've finally wangled a debut for him.
- 市歌剧院 - 太厉害了,我希望你演出成功 Town Hall, at that. That's wonderful. I hope you knock 'em dead.
谢谢 Thank you.
- 嗯.很有装饰效果 - 你也这么觉得？ Mmm. Most decorative. Think so ?
嘿.这是什么？ Hey. What is it ?
- 我觉得很光荣 - 噢？为什么？ I feel pretty honored. Oh ? Why ?
感觉就像个 小小的告别宴会 It looks like a pretty small farewell party.
嗯,这聚会一石二鸟 Well, we're really killing two birds with one stone.
这个宴会也是为肯特里 先生准备的,戴维的爸爸？ The party's also for Mr. Kentley. David's father ?
是的 Yes.
戴维要过来吗？ Is David going to be here ?
当然 Of course.
还有谁要来？你都认识的 如果你担心这个的话 Who else is coming ? No one you don't know, if that's what's bothering you.
- 肯特里一家,珍妮.沃克... - 珍妮 The Kentleys, Janet Walker- - Janet.
是的,我以为 你会很高兴见到她的 Yes. I thought you'd be glad to see her.
你不想吗？ Won't you be ?
布兰登,珍妮和我都 不在一起了.你不知道吗？ Brandon,Janet and I are all washed up. Didn't you know ?
- 很抱歉,我不知道 - 你知道的菲利普 I'm sorry, I didn't. You knew, Phillip.
噢,我听过些传闻.但是我 从来没有留意过这些事 Oh, I'd heard vague rumors. But I never pay attention to that sort of thing.
- 我希望你留意过 - 为什么？ I wish you had. [ Door Buzzer ] Why ?
- 珍妮和戴维是... - 你好,威尔逊太太 Janet and David are- - [ Woman ] Hello, Mrs. Wilson.
- 再多点可以吗？ - 请便 May I ? Help yourself.
振作点.我觉得你跟她的 机会比你想像中的大 Cheer up. I have the feeling your chances with the young lady are better than you think.
你是什么意思？珍妮！ What do you mean ? [ Brandon ] Janet!
- 你好,伙计 - 宝贝！ Hello, ducks. Angel !
- 小心我的头发,弄了很久的 - 你的味道真好 Be careful of my hair, it took hours. You smell dreamy.
- 这是什么？ - 上次你送我的酒 What is it ? That swill you gave me last Christmas.
- 我知道我的品味不错 - 是不错,你看起来真可爱 I knew I had good taste. You do, you look lovely.
是吗.这可是花了钱弄的 I won't by the time it's all paid for. [ Laughing ]
什么那么好笑？我 从不知道自己这么好笑的 Was that funny ? I never know when I'm being funny.
每次我试着搞笑 总是弄得一团糟 Whenever I try to be, I lay the bomb of all time.
- 菲利普,宝贝 - 你好 Phillip, sweet. Hello.
好像我听过 你和汤.赫尔的传闻？ What's this rumor I hear about you and Town Hall ?
我猜你一定是要跟 我们开个大玩笑然后... I bet you're going to play a foul trick on all of us and become...
- 借此出大名 - 我想你们见过了 horribly famous. I believe you've met.
- 你好,肯 - 你好,珍 Hello, Ken. Hello,Jan.
真有趣,我能在这撞到你 That was fascinating, wasn't it ? I seem to have run down.
来点香槟？ What would you say to some champagne ?
“你好,香槟.” 瞧,我只想好玩点 ''Hello, champagne.'' You see what I mean about trying to be funny ?
近来如何,肯？挺好,谢谢 新工作怎么样？ How've you been, Ken ? Fine, thanks. How's the new job ?
你在忙什么？我在写关于 如何保持身体美丽的专栏 What are you doing ? Writing that dreary column on how to keep the body beautiful.
- 这次帮谁写？ - 一本叫<吸引>的杂志 For whom this time ? An untidy little magazine known as Allure.
多谢了 Thanks, chum.
- 噢,这画是新的吗？ - 是新的.你喜欢吗？ Oh, isn't that painting new ? [ Brandon ] Yes, it is. Do you like it ?
- 哦,是什么来的？ - 新美国人的作品 Well, what is it ? New young American primitive.
我有个小美国姐妹 她才3岁,她才够嫩 I have a new young American sister. She's only three and her stuff is really primitive.
你真可恶 [ Laughing ] [ Quietly ] You dirty dog.
- 为什么？ - 我看到大厅里也有新东西 Why ? Didn't I notice another new one in the foyer ?
我想没有吧.哪个？ I don't think so. Which ?
这个 This.
- 我真想扼死你 - 我怎么了？ I could really strangle you. What have I done now ?
有时候你的幽默 来得有点邪恶,宝贝 At times, your sense of humor is a little too malicious, chum.
你们在聊什么？ What are you chattering about ?
- 你干嘛邀请肯尼斯？ - 为什么不？ Why did you invite Kenneth ? Why not ?
你知道为什么不 You know perfectly well why not.
我们多年前分开了而我 现在和他的好朋友订婚了 We called it quits ages ago and I'm practically engaged to his best friend.
- 戴维？ - 是的,戴维 David ? Yes, David.
看来一切都很有意思 Which makes everything just ginger- peachy.
很抱歉,不过要跟上 你的罗曼史还真麻烦 I'm sorry, but it is difficult trying to keep up with your romances.
先是肯尼斯然后是戴维了 After me came Kenneth and now it's David.
为什么从肯尼斯转到戴维？ Why the switch from Kenneth to David, anyway ?
- 我想他人好点 - 哦,他有钱点 I think he's nicer. Well, he's certainly richer.
不要那样,伙计 That's a new low even for you, chum.
给我的操守打D分 [ Kenneth ] Gave me a ''D''in conduct.
- 喝得怎样了？ - 好了 [ Phillip ] How's your drink doing ? All right.
我老是说“噢,真好笑” 这话有多少年了？告诉我 How many years has it been since I said, ''Oh, it tickles.'' and don't you tell me.
我听说茹伯特也要来 我们也邀请他了,你不知道 I hear Rupert's coming. He was invited, but you never know.
- 我希望他来.他现在怎样？ - 他是谁？ I hope he does. How is he ? Who is he ?
茹伯特.卡德 我们读预科时的舍监 Rupert Cadell, our housemaster at prep school.
你们3个的舍监？ Housemaster for you three little dears ?
四个.他也叫过戴维 Four little dears. He tried to teach David too.
茹伯特现在是个出版商 Rupert's a publisher now.
也许他能给我找份工作 Maybe he can give me a job.
茹伯特只出版他喜欢的书 通常都是哲学之类的 Rupert only publishes books he likes, usually philosophy.
- 噢,小出版物,空话,销量差 - 没错 Oh. Small print, big words, no sales. Right.
茹伯特是个 彻底的激进分子 Rupert's extremely radical.
你不知道 他选书的时候是以... Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption...
读者不仅会读 还会想为前提的 that people can not only read but actually can think.
- 古怪的家伙,但是我喜欢他 - 你向来都喜欢他的 Curious fellow, but I like him. You always did.
还有你和他在大学时的 那些鲁莽好笑的事 Those bull sessions you and Rupert used to have at school.
布兰登可以整天 坐在那听老师讲课 Brandon would sit up till all hours at the master's feet.
布兰登能坐上一整天来听课？ 茹伯特是何方神圣？ Brandon at someone's feet ! Who is this Rupert ?
他过去老是说些 不可思议的事.什么事？ He used to tell you the weirdest things. What sort of things ?
我想肯尼斯是指茹伯特不能 忍受各种各样的社会惯例 I suppose Kenneth means Rupert's impatience with social conventions.
例如,他认为谋杀对于 大多数人来说是犯罪,而 For example, he thinks murder is a crime for most men, but- -
- 是一小部份人的特权 - 没错 A privilege for the few. Yes.
一小部分人的特权？ [ Door Buzzer ] A privilege for the few ?
- 没错,威尔逊太太 - 我去开门 It's all right, Mrs. Wilson. I'll answer the door.
- 噢,肯特里先生.很高兴你能来 - 谢谢,布兰登 Oh, Mr. Kentley. So glad you could come. Thank you, Brandon.
肯特里太太不大舒服,所以我就 和我小姨阿特沃特太太一起来 Mrs. Kentley isn't well, so I took the liberty of bringing my sister- in- law, Mrs. Atwater.
- 很高兴见到您 - 很荣幸 Delighted to have you. Delighted to come.
我在纽约两星期了 爱丽思老是生病 I've been in New York two weeks. Alice has been ill almost the whole time,
亨利老是在编他的目录 and Henry is forever cataloging his library.
噢,不,埃尼特,有时 我还看一下我那些书的 Oh, no, Anita. Occasionally I even read one of my books.
可是我是来做客的 这是我参加的第二个宴会 But I'm on a visit. This is just my second party.
- 我想这真好 - 让我帮您拿东西 I suppose it's only fair- - Let me take your things.
- 听到肯特里太太生病我真难过 - 只是小感冒 I'm sorry to hear Mrs. Kentley's so ill. It's just a cold.
这年头感冒也会很危险的 Colds can be very dangerous this time of the year.

- 你弹得更好了,菲利普 - 茹伯特！ Your touch has improved, Phillip. Rupert !
我还以为你不来了呢 I was beginning to think you weren't going to show.
你知道我会来的 You know me better than that.
阿特沃特夫人 这位是茹伯特.卡德 Mrs. Atwater, may I present Mr. Rupert Cadell ?
- 很高兴见到你 - 谢谢 Delighted. Thank you.
- 肯特里先生 - 你好,肯特里先生 Mr. Kentley. How do you do, Mr. Kentley ?
- 萨默维尔的校监？ - 我以前是 The housemaster at Somerville ? I used to be.
- 那你一定教过我儿子戴维了 - 您过奖了 Then you must have taught my son, David. You flatter me.

这就值得我们开香槟庆祝下 And that bears a curious resemblance to champagne.
- 没错.很好的香槟 - 这是什么好事？ It is. Very good champagne. What's the occasion ?
我在电话里告诉你了 I told you on the phone.
开始是开个 宴会给肯特里先生 It began as a little party for Mr. Kentley so he could look over those first editions.
- 然后因为我和菲利普将去 - 你告诉过我了 It turned out Phillip and I were going to the country- - You told me that too.
- 我有吗？ - 有 Did I ? Yeah.
我想这样子 帮菲利普开个告别会 I thought I'd make it sort of a farewell for Phillip.
- 所以,开香槟 - 噢,这样 Therefore, champagne. Uh, yes.
- 我明白了 - 这...这是真的 I see. Well, it- - I- It's true.
你一兴奋就老是说话打结 You always did stutter when you were excited.
我- 我猜我在宴会上 常会变得很兴奋的真的？ I- I guess I'm always excited when I give a party. Really ?
- 卡德先生！ - 噢,威尔逊太太 Mr. Cadell! Oh, Mrs. Wilson.
噢,我们怎么都跑这来了？ Well, what have we here ?
我弄了个你喜欢的发型 [ Whispering ] I got that special pate you like.
噢,我不再喜欢了 [ Whispering ] Oh, I don't like it any more.
- 噢不！ - 我只是开玩笑 Oh, no ! No, I'm just teasing.
- 真可恶 - 谢谢 You're awful. Thank you.
你最好别扯那些雕刻 You'd better get along with the carving.
东西放这里就好了 The rest of the things'll be here in two shakes.
噢,布兰登先生,我找到了 Oh, Mr. Brandon ! I found it.
我还不知道她丢了什么 I haven't the least notion what she lost.
太棒了,威尔逊太太 Wonderful Mrs. Wilson.
我该娶她 I may marry her.
- 看起来很好 - 我希望戴维早点到 It looks heavenly. I hope David gets here soon.
- 戴维在哪里？ - 我也不知道 Where is David ? I haven't the faintest idea.
他迟到这么久了 肯特里先生有点生气了 He's so late, Mr. Kentley's getting annoyed.
- 你呢？ - 我饿了 And you ? Me ? I'm hungry.
布兰登,这到底是什么？ Brandon, exactly what is this ?
- 我在意大利买的一个箱子 - 我们干嘛要在它上面吃饭？ A ''cassone'' I got in Italy. No, I mean why are we eating off of it ?
噢,我想把餐厅变成图书馆 Oh, I've turned the dining room into a library.
相信你给你的箱子 发明了新用法 Trust you to find a new use for a chest.
他在读预科的时候 他在睡觉之前常会说一个故事 One was always turning up in the bedtime stories he told in prep school.
“槲寄生的主枝” 你最喜欢的故事,对不？ ''The Mistletoe Bough,'' that was your favorite tale, wasn't it ?
那故事是讲什么的？ 我不记得开头那段了 What was that one about ? I don't remember how it started.
- 是讲一个可爱的女孩 - 她是个准新娘 It was about a lovely, young girl- - She was a bride- to- be.
在她结婚那天,她把自己 藏在一个箱子里头没错 On her wedding day, she playfully hid herself in a chest. That's right.
不幸的是 那箱子有个弹簧锁 Unfortunately, it had a spring lock.
50年后,人们在箱子 里找到她的遗骸 Fifty years later, they found her skeleton.
- 我想我不会这么玩 - 请自便 I don't think I'll get that playful. Please help yourselves.
说到遗骸,你看到 斯坦那里的新东西没？ Talking of skeletons, have you seen that new thing at the Strand ?
- 是的,我很喜欢 - 真的,这很好 Yes, I adored it. Did you ? Good.
- 我不喜欢那个新女孩 肯定是天蠍座的 I didn't like the new girl much. Definitely Scorpio.
我也不喜欢她 但是她的衣服很好看 I didn't like her either, but her clothes were fabulous.
- 很神圣！ - 很像天使！ Simply divine ! Absolute heaven !
- 我一定要看看 - 我喜欢的是詹姆斯.马森 I must see it. The man I have a passion for is James Mason.
- 他好吗？ - 绝对很伟大！ Is he good ? Absolutely terrific !
动人的险恶！金牛座 So attractively sinister ! Taurus, the bull, you know.
- 很倔强 - 真的？ Very obstinate. Really ?
我要剖析一下自己.我觉得 我喜欢马森就如喜欢爱罗.福林 I have a confession to make. I think I like Mason as much as Errol Flynn.
- 我会选卡里.格兰特 - 我也是 I'll take Cary Grant, myself. Oh, so will I !
山羊座.他超越神圣 Capricorn, the goat. He leaps divine !
- 老是说“嗯” - 没错 So much '' oomph.'' Yes.
- 就是这样 - 他对博孟的东西很感兴趣 Absolutely. He was thrilling in that new thing with Bergman.
怎么说来的？ “某事的某点” What was it called ? ''Something of the something.''
不,别的名称.只是 简单的“某事”.差不多吧 No, that's the other one. This was just plain ''Something.'' It was sort of, you know.
- 我就是说不出来 - 我也是 It was right on the tip of my tongue. Mine too.
- 只是很简单的“某事” - 我喜欢它 It was just plain ''Something.'' I adored it.
- 还有博孟！ - 她是处女座的 And Bergman ! She's the Virgo type !
- 就像这些一样 - 噢,我觉得她很可爱 Like all these, you know. Oh, I think she's lovely.
有一次我去看电影 我看到玛丽.皮佛 I once went to the movies. I saw Mary Pickford.
我好喜欢她！你不喜欢吗？ I was mad about her ! Didn't you love her ?
又是处女座的？ The Virgo type, like all of these.
- 你看到她穿什么了？ - 我不记得了 What did you see her in ? I don't quite recall.
“某事的某点” ''The Something Something.''
- 或只是“某事”？ - 也许吧 Or was it just plain ''Something'' ? Something rather like that.
我不相信你真的去了 I don't believe you ever went.
如果我是你 我会吃那的 If I were you, I'd go easy on the pate, dear.
- 卡路里 - 好了,不要那么客气了 Calories. Come on, don't be polite.
菲利普,帮下 阿特沃特太太好吗？ Phillip, would you mind helping Mrs. Atwater ?
我很乐意.请坐 阿特沃特太太.我帮您拿 I'd be glad to. Sit down, Mrs. Atwater. I'll bring it to you.
谢谢你,孩子 Thank you so much, dear boy.
我必须替戴维道歉 我不知道他怎么这么晚还没来 I must apologize for David. I can't think what's keeping him.
他只是周末去市中心走走 他可受人欢迎了 He's only in town for the weekend and David is a popular man.
让我帮你.白的或是深的？ Here, let me help. White or dark ?
两样都给 阿特沃特太太来点 A little of both on this for Mrs. Atwater.
- 你呢？ - 我不吃 What about you ? I don't eat it.
好奇怪！ 我从没听过有人不吃鸡肉的 How queer ! I never heard of anyone who didn't eat chicken.
你不吃吗,布兰登？ 噢,也许你不吃 Did you, Brandon ? Oh, you probably did.
- 你为什么不吃,菲利普？ - 我不吃了 Why don't you eat it, Phillip ? I just don't.
总有理由吧.没有无缘无故的爱 也没有无缘无故的恨 There must be a reason. Freud says there's a reason for everything, even me.
没什么理由,珍妮 There's no reason, Janet.
我记得你有个 很好笑的理由的 As I remember, you have a very funny reason.
- 是不是,布兰登？ - 是的 Doesn't he, Brandon ? Yes.
我知道总有理由的 什么理由？没什么 I knew there had to be one. What is it ? It's nothing too much.
- 真是迷人 - 来吧,布兰登,说吧 - [ Rupert ] It's fascinating. - Come on, Brandon, please.
那是3年前发生 在康涅狄格的事了 It happened about three years ago in Connecticut.
妈妈在那里有房子 Mother has a place there.
我们打算吃点鸡肉 所以我们朝农场走去 We were going to have chicken so we walked over to the farm.
那是晚春的 一个美丽的周日上午 It was a lovely Sunday morning in late spring.
教堂的钟声 在整个村庄里回响 Across the valley, the church bells were ringing.
在院子里 菲利普也在杀2或3只鸡 In the yard, Phillip was doing likewise to the necks of two or three chickens.
- 噢,天！ - 他常做得很漂亮 Oh, dear ! It was a task he usually performed competently.
这个上午,他的感觉 来的有点,有点脆弱 On this particular morning, his touch was, perhaps, a trifle too delicate;
因为那鸡突然间造反起来 because one of the subjects suddenly rebelled.
- 像得了麻风病似的他... - 骗鬼！ Like Lazarus, he rose- - That's a lie !
菲利普！ Phillip !
整个故事都在骗人 [ Phillip ] There isn't a word of truth in the whole story.
- 我这辈子都没杀过鸡！ - 瞧,菲利 I never strangled a chicken in my life! [ Brandon ] Look, Phillip- -
我从没扼死一只鸡过 这你知道的 I never strangled a chicken, and you know it.
对不起 可是我觉得很好笑... [Janet Laughing ] Forgive me, but it seemed very funny...
你们两对那只 死了的鸡也太认真了 you two being so intense about an old, dead chicken.
[布兰登]对不起 我们太荒谬太失礼了 [ Brandon ] Sorry. We were ridiculous and very rude.
我替我们两个 还有那故事道歉 I apologize for both of us and the story.
好了！ Well !
- 故事完了？ - 是的,茹伯特 Is it all over ? I'm afraid so, Rupert.
噢,真可惜,眼看你们 就要互相掐对方的脖子了... Oh, what a pity. In another moment, you might have been strangling each other...
- 而不是掐鸡的脖子 - 卡特先生说的没错！ instead of a chicken. [ Mrs. Atwater ] Mr. Cadell, really!
但是一个男人的 尊严可有危险了 But a man's honor was at stake.
我个人认为 那只鸡是谋杀的藉口 Personally, I think a chicken is as good a reason for murder...
就如一个金发美女 一张铺满金币的床 as a blonde, a mattress full of dollar bills,
以及那些常见的 毫无创造力的理由 or any of the customary, unimaginative reasons.
你不是真的赞同谋杀吧 茹伯特,如果我是的话 You don't really approve of murder, Rupert, if I may.
我会赞同的 想想那能解决的问题 You may, and I do. Think of the problems it would solve:
失业,贫穷,排队买票 unemployment, poverty, standing in line for theatre tickets.
我得承认 排队买新的歌剧票... I must say, I've had a perfectly dreadful time...
可真够辛苦的 那歌剧叫什么来的？ getting tickets for that new musical, what's it called ?
你知道的. “某事”是她的名字 You know. ''The Something,'' with what's her name ?
我亲爱的阿特沃特夫人 辛苦的排队... My dear Mrs. Atwater, careful application of the trigger finger...
就是为了买到第一行的票 and a pair of seats in the first row is yours for the shooting.
你去那个铺着天鹅绒的 餐厅没什么困难吧？ Have you had any difficulty getting into our velvet rope restaurants ?
- 太可怕了！ - 很简单的事 Frightful ! A very simple matter.
夫人,用把刀 A flick of the knife, madam,
然后前进 and if you'll kindly step this way- -
踏在服务生的身上走过去 Oh, no, step over the head waiter's body.
谢谢你,这是您的位子 Thank you, and here's your table.
茹伯特,够了 [Janet ] Rupert, you're the end.
有一个酒店服务生 我想对他动刀子的 [ Kenneth ] There's a hotel clerk I could flick a knife at!
噢,不.刀不适合 用在酒店服务生上 Oh, no, sorry. Knives may not be used on hotel employees.
应该是“折磨而死” The are in the ''death by slow torture'' category, Oh.
包括那些爱鸟的人 小孩,还有舞蹈演员 along with bird lovers, small children, and tap dancers.
房东肯定另当别论 Landlords, of course, are another matter.
你在找房子吗？ 打电话给萨丝.维特小姐... You seeking an apartment ? Call on our Miss Sash Weight...
她是卖五金的 of the blunt instrument department.
真是个好主意！ What a divine idea !
如果这符合你的想法,只需 If it suits your purpose, merely- -
但是那样的话 我们会杀掉对方的噢,不 But then we'd all be murdering each other. Oh, no.
毕竟,谋杀是 或应该是一种艺术 After all, murder is, or should be, an art;
不是七宗罪之一 但总算是一种艺术 not one of the seven lively, perhaps, but an art nevertheless.
这样的话 谋杀的权利该留给... As such, the privilege of committing it should be reserved...
留给那些高等人 for those few who are really superior individuals.
而那些受害人,他们 这些低等人的命不值什么 And the victims, inferior beings whose lives are unimportant anyway.
小心你的话 我不喜欢那些很偏激的人... [ Rupert ] Obviously. Mind you, I don't hold with the extremists...
那些认为该有 一年该有杀戮季节的人 who feel there should be open season for murder all year round.
事实上,我个人喜欢... No, personally, I would prefer to have...
- 来个“喉周” - 噢 ''Cut a Throat Week.'' Oh.
或是“扼杀节” Or ''Strangulation Day.'' [ Mumbling ]
也许我老了 但是我觉得... Probably a symptom of approaching senility, but I must confess...
我真的不欣赏这种可怕的 幽默,这些幽默是无意识的 I really don't appreciate this morbid humor. The humor was unintentional.
- 你不是对这些东西认真吧？ - 看来他是 You're not serious about these theories. Of course he is.
- 你们别开玩笑了 - 你怎么这么想？ You're both pulling my leg. Why do you think that ?
你们说的什么谋杀 是某些高等人可以做的艺术 The notion that murder is an art which a few superior beings should be allowed to practice- -
一年里都可以！ [ Rupert ] In season !
- 现在我知道你不是认真的了 - 可是我是认真的 Now I know you're not serious. But I am.
我是个很严肃的人 我可以问一下 I'm a very serious fellow. Then may I ask,
那谁来决定谁是低等人 谁是适合被人谋杀的人呢？ who is to decide if a human is inferior, and therefore a suitable victim for murder ?
- 谁是那些谋杀别人的人呢？ - 他们该是谁？ The few who are privileged to commit murder. Who might they be ?
噢,像我,菲利普 Oh, myself, Phillip,
也许茹伯特也可以 possibly Rupert.
肯尼思,真可惜,没算上你 [ Rupert ] I'm sorry, Kenneth, you're out.
- 先生们,我是认真的 - 我们也是 Gentlemen, I'm serious. So are we.
那小部分的人就是那些 聪明并且在文化上过人的人... The few are those men of such intellectual and cultural superiority...
他们超乎了 传统的道德理念 that they're above the traditional moral concepts.
好与坏 对与错是适用于普通人 Good and evil, right and wrong were invented for the average man;
特别是低等人 因为他需要这些 the inferior man, because he needs them.
你同意纳粹的观点和他的 超人理论是的,我同意 You agree with Nietzsche and his theory of the superman. Yes, I do.
- 希特勒也同意 - 希特勒是个偏执狂 So did Hitler. Hitler was a paranoiac savage.
所有的法西斯者都是没有 脑的刽子手.我会绞死他们 All fascist supermen were brainless murderers. I'd hang any who were left.
但是,如你所见,我绞死 他们是因为他们是笨蛋 But then, you see, I'd hang them first for being stupid.
我很想绞死所有低能儿和笨蛋 这个世界上太多这样的人了 I'd hang all incompetents and fools. There are far too many in the world.
那你该绞死我.我这么笨 我不知道你是不是认真的 Then you should hang me. I'm so stupid, I don't know whether you're serious or not.
我不想再听你说 任何关于人的观点了 In any case, I'd rather not hear any more of your... contempt for humanity,
还有你对这个我认为 早已文明进化了的社会的看法 and for the standards of a world that I believe is civilized.
- 文明进化？ - 没错 Civilized ? Yes.
- “文明世界”只是伪善的 - 也许 ''Civilization'' is hypocrisy. Perhaps.
好了,我相信茹伯特够聪明 可以现在,先生们 - Well, I'm sure Rupert has the intelligence- - - Now, gentlemen- -
够了,布兰登,我们听够了 Please, Brandon, we've had just about enough !
菲利普,你拿出来 给肯特里先生的书呢？ Phillip, where did you put those books you set out for Mr. Kentley ?
- 如果可以的话,我想看看 - 没问题,在餐厅里 I'd like to see them myself, if I may. Of course. They're in the dining room.
肯特里先生 您现在看下书如何？ Mr. Kentley, wouldn't you like to see the books now ?
我很抱歉,对不起了 [ Brandon ] I apologize, sir, again.
我想我说的太过分了 I'm afraid I let myself get carried away.
没事,孩子 That's quite all right, my boy.
我想那是很好的作品集,第一版 I think it's a good collection, the first editions, I mean.
- 是的,我想看看 - 我能用下电话吗？ Yes, I'd like to see them. May I use the telephone ?
我想打个电话给戴维 也许她有话要告诉他 I'd like to talk to my wife. She may have some word of David.
没问题.这边 [ Phillip ] Of course. It's this way.
- 噢,布兰登 - 嗯 Uh, Brandon ? Yes.
你太激动了 You were pushing your point rather hard.
你该不会有机会 就拿那些低等人试试吧 You aren't planning to do away with a few inferiors, by chance ?
- 我是幻想的怪物.难说呀 - 噢,我知道了 I'm a creature of whim. Who knows ? Oh, I see.
我想他一定是天蠍座 [Janet ] I think he's definitely Scorpio.
呃,阿特沃特太太 您想看下这些书吗？ Uh, Mrs. Atwater, wouldn't you like to see the books ?
噢,我想 Oh, I'd love it.
你知道吗？我做 小女孩的时候读很多书的 Do you know, when I was a girl, I used to read quite a bit.
我们小时候老做怪事的 We all do strange things in our childhood.
肯尼思,干嘛不开 收音机或是放点音乐？ Kenneth, why don't you switch on the radio or play some records ?
这样气氛好点 A little atmospheric music goes a long way.
他就是个狡猾的坏家伙,不是吗？ He is such a sly, little devil, isn't he ?
用美妙的音乐调节气氛 [ Record ] Bringing us back together again with sweet music !
别上他的当 他老是这么做 Don't let it get you. He's always doing something like this.
- 我去别的房间 - 看书吗？ I'm going in the other room. To see the books ?
不,只是让布兰登看到我 No, to let Brandon see me.
- 你介意他怎么看？ - 我知道他怎么想！ Do you care what he thinks ? I know what he thinks !
他以为我抛弃 你是因为戴维更有钱 He thinks I threw you over because David has a bigger bank account.
那样的话 你干嘛要过去？ Then, why do you go ?
因为 Because- -
因为我跟你 呆在这里我觉得很尴尬 Because I'm embarrassed at being here with you.
噢,珍妮！ Oh,Janet !
- 没想到吧？ - 坦白说？没有 Never thought I could be, did you ? Honestly ? No.
事实上我是 我也不喜欢这样 Well, I am and I don't like it one bit.
我想你也有尴尬的权利 I should think you'd have the decency to be embarrassed yourself.
- 为什么？ - 嗯 Why ? Well- -
是你抛弃我的,记得吗？ You threw me over, chum, remember ?
布兰登不是 挺喜欢听到这的吗？ My, wouldn't friend Brandon love to know that ?
- 怎么了？ - 没什么,我只是在想一些事 What's the matter ? Nothing. I'm just thinking.
你觉得女性的空虚感如何？ What about ? Female vanity.
同时,我也因为 其他东西而尴尬 Well, I'm also embarrassed because- -
继续 Go on.
嗯,你和戴维曾经是好朋友 Well, you and David used to be such good friends.
都是因为我 你们现在才没有在一起 You're not and it's my fault.
- 我真笨 - 不,你不 I'm such an idiot girl. No, you're not.
那我肯定是在模仿别人 Then I'm certainly giving a good imitation of one.
为什么我和别人在一起时老是 装得很聪明在戴维面前却不行？ Why must I try and be so smart with everyone but David ?
你也取笑戴维吗？ Don't you kid with David too ?
我跟戴维在一起时 很轻松,全因为你 I relax with David, thanks to you.
- 我？ - 没错 To me ? Yes.
那- 那哈佛严寒的周日 That- - That grim Sunday at Harvard,
当你打电话说要分手时 when you called it quits,
戴维陪我去外头散步 David took me for a walk.
我笑得合不拢嘴 My chin was about an inch from the ground.
我那天过得很开心 I just couldn't be the gay girl.
我很放松,并且向他 吐露了我所有的心事 I just relaxed and let everything pour out.
那个真真正正的我 The real, real me stuff.
你听到那话吗？ 我听到自己在说 Did you hear that phrase ? I hear myself saying things like that and- -
噢,戴维在哪里？ Oh, where's David ? You know,
我不是很聪明 I'm not very smart.
为什么？ Why ?
我从未意识到你 I never realized you were- -
布兰登和他的音乐 [ Sighs ] Brandon and his atmospheric music.
你和戴维在谈恋爱,对不？ You are in love with David, aren't you ?
没错 Yes.
- 我不明白 - 明白什么？ I don't get it. Get what ?
我来时布兰登跟我说了句话 他意思是我有机会... Brandon made a crack when I got here. He implied I'd have a chance...
再和你在一起 因为戴维将不会介入 with you again because David would be out of the running.
等一下.你是说,我来的时候 布兰登早就知道我们分手了 Wait. You mean, before I got here Brandon knew we had broken- -
- 他甚至知道你和戴维的事 - 什么？ He even knew about you and David. What ?
肯尼思,我告诉他时 他装做完全不知道 Kenneth, he pretended to be completely ignorant when I told him.
- 这到底怎么回事？ - 我也不知道 What's going on here ? I don't know,
但是我一定要查个水落石出 But I'm going to find out once and for all !
- 布兰登？ - 怎么了？ Brandon ? Yes ?
- 我能和你谈会吗？ - 没问题 May I see you for a moment ? Certainly.
他怎么老是和 这些人呆在一起？ Why can't he keep his hands off people ?
怎么了？ Well ?
- 你在那边干什么呢？ - 给你拿咖啡呀 Just exactly what are you up to, chum ? Up to getting you coffee.
少来了！我想知道 你为什么告诉肯尼思... Let's dispense with the charm ! I'd like to know why you had the gall to tell Kenneth...
他不必担心 我和戴维在一起？ he wouldn't have to worry much longer about David and me ?
- 我不是这么说的吧 - 你就是这个意思 I don't think that's precisely what I said. It's what you implied !
- 我想知道原因 - 有些女人生气时很迷人 I want to know why. Some women are quite charming when they're angry.
- 可是不幸的是,你并不 - 少废话 Unfortunately, you're not. Cut that out !
- 噢,有人暴跳如雷 - 我不相信戴维会来 Well, chivalry rears its ugly head ! I don't believe David's coming !
- 等着瞧 - 他从不迟到这么久的 Wait and see. I don't have to. He's never this late.
如果有什么事的话 他也会打电话来说一声的 If something had come up, he'd have phoned.
你分明就是安排好了 他不会来.我真是聪明！ You deliberately arranged it so that he wouldn't come. How clever of me !
我早该知道你才不会 维肯特里先生举行宴会的 I might have known you couldn't just give a party for Mr. Kentley.
你那反常的幽默 就证明了你有问题 You'd have to add something that appealed to your warped sense of humor.
我希望你能开心！ 而我则一点也不 I hope you've enjoyed yourself, Brandon. I haven't !
他太过分了！ [ Janet ] He's really impossible !
你不要让他坏了你的好心情 [ Kenneth ] You shouldn't let him upset you.
- 有什么不妥吗,布兰登？ - 没有 Something gone wrong, Brandon ? No.
有时珍妮就会惹麻烦 Janet has a talent for being bothersome at times.
然而,我想我最好 However, I suppose I'd better- -
噢,你说“有什么不妥” 是什么意思？ Uh, what did you mean, ''something gone wrong'' ?
你老是能将宴会安排得很好,所以 如有不妥的话就让人觉得奇怪 You always plan your parties so well, it's odd to have anything go wrong.
她看来在想戴维 She seems to be missing David.
事实上,我也在想他了 [ Rupert ] As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to miss him myself.
我们不都想他吗？ Aren't we all ?
两份餐后甜点,卡特先生？ Two desserts, Mr. Cadell ?
- 你一份我一份,亲爱的 - 噢,卡特先生 One for you and one for me, my love. Ah, Mr. C.
其他人好像没有 什么心情吃雪糕 The others don't seem to be in the mood for ice cream.
噢,他们都该冷静一下 Well, they could all do with a little cooling off.
我看,这真是个奇怪的宴会 有点不出我所料 My, it's a peculiar party, not that that surprises me.
- 为什么？ - 我今天上午就能预见到了 Why not ? I could have predicted it this morning.
他们该是从早上开始就一团糟 Both of them must have got up out of the wrong side of the bed.
他们今天一整天都这样 They've been in a state all day !
布兰登先生说 他一举行宴会就是这样 Mr. Brandon says he's always in a state when he gives a party.
这是第一次他们这个样子.通常 他们都会让我准备所有东西... It's the first time I've seen it. Usually, he lets me prepare everything...
随便我怎么安排.可是你看 这鸡根本没有人碰过！ in my own way; but, look at this, the chicken's hardly been touched !
- 今天有什么不同吗？ - 谁知道！ What was so different today ? Oh, what wasn't !
布兰登匆匆忙忙的擦了 桌子摆了东西在上面 Mr. Brandon was in the maddest rush to clean up and get the table set.
哦,它看起来多好看！但是 当我匆匆忙忙赶出去买东西时 Oh, it looked so lovely ! But when I was whisking out to do the shopping,
他突然告诉我 整个下午都不要回来 he suddenly told me to take the whole afternoon for it.
整个下午！ The whole afternoon, after that mad rush in the morning!
- 他告诉你原因了吗？ - 没有,我想他是一时兴起 Did he say why ? No, just a whim, I suppose.
可是当我回来时,他和 菲利普在弄着铁锤和钳子 But when I came back, he and Mr. Phillip were going at it hammer and tongs.
哦.怎么回事？ Oh. What about ?
卡特先生,即使我知道 你觉得我会说吗？ Mr. Cadell, even if I did know, do you think I'd tell?
- 我希望你会 - 不,我是守瓶如口的人 Well, I hope so. Not me. I'm like the grave.
瞧这堆乱糟糟的东西 重复劳动 Look at this mess ! Just makes double the work.
我打扫干净了这 After I have this cleaned off,
我还得打扫下餐厅的书 I have to clear all those books off the dining room table,
搬书过来,放进柜子里 这些书原先就放在那里面 bring them here, put them back in the chest, which is where they were in the first place.
- 你干嘛在这放吃的东西？ - 不是我要这么做的 Why did you serve from here, anyway ? It wasn't my idea.
我把东西放在餐厅 并且好看极了 I had everything laid out in the dining room and it was just beautiful.
这不就只有几步远 On this thing, there isn't half the room.
她还在讲她的桌子 还有从这边拿事物很差吗？ Is she still harping on her table and how awkward it is to serve from this ?
这样子更方便 大家不用走那么远去餐厅... It's much more convenient. This way, people don't have to go all the way into...
拿食物然后 再跑回来这边吃 the dining room to get food and come all the way back to eat it.
看来他们都去那边 拿甜点和咖啡了 Seems to me they've gone in there now for their dessert and coffee.
威尔逊太太,请你过去帮他们忙 不要老是对他们说教 Mrs. Wilson, please serve the guests. Don't lecture them.
看来我们真的 从一大早就不对劲了,是不？ We did get up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't we ?
我的情况挺尴尬的 I'm in quite an embarrassing position.
你是什么意思？ How do you mean ?
好像只有我感觉开心 I seem to be the only one having a good time.
你和阿特沃特太太 You and Mrs. Atwater.
怎么回事,菲利普？ What's going on, Phillip ?
你不介意关掉那灯吧？ Would you mind turning that off?
抱歉,我不喜欢 在灯光下弹琴 Sorry. I don't like to play with light in my eyes.
你知道的,菲利普 You know, Phillip,
当别人拒绝回答我的问题时 我更加有兴趣追根到底 I get quite intrigued when people don't answer questions.
- 我可是很好奇的 - 你问我问题了吗？ I'm quite curious. Did you ask me a question ?
是的,我问了 Yes, Phillip, I asked you a question.
哦,什么问题？ Well, what was it ?
我问你这里到底怎么回事？ I asked you what is going on here.
- 举行宴会 - 对,但是是一个奇怪的宴会 A party. Yes, but a rather peculiar party.
到底是怎么回事,菲利普？ What's it all about, Phillip ?
到底怎么回事？不要老是玩 “罪恶与惩罚”的游戏了,茹伯特！ What's what all about ? Stop playing ''crime and punishment,'' Rupert.
如果你想知道怎么回事 就查呀！小声点 If you want to know something come out with it ! Temper, temper.
别停.我想喝点酒 Don't stop. I'd like a drink.
我帮你倒.继续弹 你要来点什么,苏格兰酒？ I'll get it for you. keep playing. What would you like, Scotch ?
不,白兰地 No, brandy.
你很喜欢这调,对不？ You're very fond of that tune, aren't you ?
你知道,我希望能知道 我想知道的东西 You know, I wish I could come straight out with what I want to know.
对不起,我什么也不知道 Unfortunately, I don't know anything.
我只是怀疑 I merely suspect.
- 我说 - 我听到了 I said that- - I heard you.
- 够了吗？ - 谢谢 This all right ? Thank you.
好了 That's fine.
- 你用这个吗？ - 有时用 Do you use this ? Sometimes.
我以为只有初学者才用 I thought only beginners did.
- 我必须说 - 好了,茹伯特,我来问你 I must say- - All right, Rupert, I'll ask you.
你在怀疑什么？ What do you suspect ? [ Ticking ]
哦,我忘了 Oh, I've forgotten.
- 戴维在哪里？ - 我不知道 Where's David, Phillip ? I don't know.
- 为什么？ - 布兰登知道 Why ? Brandon knows.
- 他知道？ - 我什么都不知道.他不知道吗？ Does he ? Not that I know of. Doesn't he ?
- 哦,好了 - 我不知道,你干嘛不问布兰登？ Oh, come now. I don't. Why don't you ask Brandon ?
我问了 I have,
可是他忙着 理人家的三角关系 but he's too busy maneuvering the other two points of the triangle.
到底是为什么呢？ 布兰登做这些是为了什么呢？ What for, Phillip ? just what is Brandon trying to do...
他对珍妮 和肯尼思做的那些事？ with Janet and Kenneth ?
- 你笑什么？ - 没什么？ What are you laughing at ? Nothing.
怎么了？我说的太远了？ What is it ? Am I so far off the track ?
根本就没什么事,茹伯特 There's nothing going on at all, Rupert.
你,嗯 You're, uh,
今晚不只是对事情 比较过敏,菲利普 more than usually allergic to the truth tonight, Phillip.
这是你第二次 没有说出来了.谢谢 That's the second time you haven't told it. Thanks.
- 第一次是什么时候？ - 当你说你从没杀过鸡时 When was the first ? When you said you never strangled a chicken.
你弄糊涂了 布兰登只是在... You're confused. Brandon dreamt that up...
- 胡言乱语 - 不,他没有 for the sake of a very unfunny joke. No, he didn't.
他没有,菲利普 No, he didn't, Phillip.
如果你仔细想想,你该 会知道我为什么这么说了 And if you'll think back carefully, you'll realize that I know he didn't.
一年前,我也在农场,记得吗？ About a year ago, I was up at the farm. Remember ?
有一天我看到你杀鸡的 One morning I saw you display your handiwork.
你一下子就拧断了鸡的脖子 如果我没记错的话 You're quite a good chicken- strangler, as I recall.
哦,我- 我只是说 布兰登的故事不是真的 Well, I- - I just meant that Brandon's story wasn't true.
- 我不是说我没杀过鸡 - 可是你是这么说的 I didn't mean I hadn't killed any chickens. That's what you said.
好了,我认为那不是个好话题 尤其是我们都在吃饭的时候 Well, I didn't think it was a suitable topic of conversation while we were eating !
- 可是你可以这么说的 - 好了,我没说够了吧！ You could have said that. All right, I didn't !
我们现在不是在吃东西.可是你 为什么要说谎？我不喜欢谈论 We're not eating now. Why'd you lie to me ? I don't like to talk about- -
关于,拧断- 我不想在说了！ About what, strangling- - I can't play with that thing !
- 我想您拿走这些书 - 你真是太客 [ Brandon ] I want you to have them. It's extremely generous of you.
我想您会比我更欣赏这些书的 I know you appreciate first editions far more than I, Mr. Kentley.
- 你太好了,布兰登 - 怎么了？ It's very nice of you, Brandon. What's wrong ?
- 你和菲利普一定要来吃顿饭 - 怎 You and Phillip must come to dinner soon. What's wrong ?
你不想肯肯特里先生拿走那些书吗？ Don't you want Mr. Kentley to have the books ? No !
- 我不介意他拿走那书.我只是 - 什么？ I don't care if he has them, I just- - What ?
我觉得那么绑书很笨 I think it's a clumsy way of tying them up.
戴维从来都是把 自己照顾得很好的 [ Brandon ] David never had trouble taking care of himself.
可是我不明白 [ Mr. Kentley ] But I can't understand this.
每次他晚到 他都会打电话说一声的 Whenever he's been detained, he's telephoned.
他跟我在一起的时候总是 很守时的你有那么守时吗 [Janet ] He's always been after to me to be punctual. [ Brandon ] As well he might.
你不知道我近来不同了 我现在就跟时钟一样守时 You wouldn't know me these days. I'm a new woman. punctual as a clock.
这可不像个女孩,亲爱的 [ Mrs. Atwater ] That's very unfeminine, my dear.
也许是,可是我觉得 这是礼貌的问题 [ Mr. Kentley ] Perhaps, but I prefer manners to femininity.
你说话的语气就像 父亲一样.我记得有一次 [ Mrs. Atwater ] You sound just like Daddy. I remember once- -
别紧张,菲利普 Take it easy, Phillip.
- 茹伯特好像知道什么 - 他才不呢.别担心 Rupert's on to something. He isn't. Now, let up.
- 我要喝点酒 - 你喝的够多了 I've got to have a drink. You've had enough.
拿开你的手！ Take your hand off my arm !
不用你来告诉我 该做什么不该做什么 Don't you ever again tell me what to do and what not to do.
- 我不喜欢这样 - 小声点 I don't like it and- - Keep your voice down !
我,嗯,我希望 你没有让菲利普难过 I, uh, hope I didn't upset Phillip.
没有,他把酒混在一起了 No, he's more likely mixing his drinks.
- 你看起来有些难过 - 我有吗？ You seem rather upset yourself. Do I ?
有,你们俩看起来 都有什么事烦心 Yes, there's something upsetting both of you a great deal,
- 一些事像 - 打断一下,先生们 something that- - [ Mrs. Wilson ] Excuse me, sir.
有位夫人打电话找肯特里先生 或是阿特沃特太太 There's a lady phoning for Mr. Kentley or Mrs. Atwater.
一定是爱丽思 我去椄,肯特里 It must be Alice. I'll talk to her, Henry.
楼下大厅往左拐 第一个卧室里谢谢你 Down the hall to your left, dear. The first bedroom. Thank you.
肯特里先生,你要回去吗？ 我想回去 [Janet ] Mr. Kentley, do you suppose David could be home ? I hope so.
我不想扫兴 [ Rupert ] I hate to throw a damper,
但如果戴维在家,打电话来的 就是他而不是肯特里太太了 but if David was home, I think he'd be calling instead of Mrs. Kentley.
- 你觉得呢,布兰登？ - 我也不知道 Wouldn't you say so, Brandon ? I wouldn't know.
我印像中的戴维是很礼貌 很准时的他还是那个样 [ Rupert ] The David I remember was polite as well as punctual. [Janet ] He hasn't changed.
但是如果他不在家 他会去哪里？我不知道 [ Rupert ] If he's not home, where could he be ? [ Phillip ] I don't know.
也许他在其他地方 例如俱乐部 [ Brandon ] He might be any number of places, such as the club,
去巴得里家的聚会了 还是在珍妮家？ or the Bradleys are giving a party, or maybe he went to Janet's.
为什么这么说？ 老是要扯到她身上去？ [ Rupert ] Why ? To pick her up after all.
- 我打电话回去过了 - 他不在？ [Janet ] I phoned my place. [ Kentley ] He wasn't there ?
他不在.我留了口迅但是 [Janet ] No. I left a message but- -
我们会找出他在哪里的... [ Rupert ] We might find out where he is now...
条件是我们知道 他今天下午去了哪里 if we knew where he was this afternoon.
我可不知道他在哪里 [ Brandon ] I haven't the least idea where he was.
- 如果我们知道会很有帮助的 - 也许吧 [ Rupert ] It would help if we found out. [ Brandon ] I suppose so.
他去了俱乐部.我知道 他在那里为什么？ [ Kentley ] He went to the club. I know he got there. Why?
有人在那里打电话告诉我们 说戴维会在这里见我们 Someone phoned from there with a message that David would meet us here.
- 你知道那电话是谁打的吗？ - 不知道 [ Rupert ] Do you know who gave the message ? No.
看来,戴维在俱乐部碰上了 谁然后改变了主意 Obviously, David ran into someone at the club who changed his plans.
- 你今天下午没在那吧,肯尼思？ - 我希望我在 You weren't there this afternoon, were you, Kenneth ? I wish I had been.
我猜你和布兰登 不在那吧,菲利普不在 I don't suppose you or Brandon were, Phillip. No.
我们在忙着准备宴会 [ Brandon ] We had our hands full getting ready for the party.
那要做许多事的.你知道 [ Rupert ] There was a lot to be done. You know.
是的.你今天 没和戴维说过话？ Yes, I see. You didn't speak to David at all today ?
没有,你为什么这么问？ [ Brandon ] No. Why do you ask ?
我以为他会打 电话来说他晚点到 I thought he might have called to say he'd be late.
他没有.菲利普和我自从... He didn't. Neither Phillip nor I have talked to David...
那天我们邀请他来宴会后 就没再通过话奇怪 since the day we invited him to the party. [ Kentley ] That's odd.
你的意思是？我以为我今天上午 听到戴维和菲利普通电话了 What do you mean? I thought I heard David on the phone to Phillip yesterday morning.
没错.我忘了 [ Phillip ] Yes, you did. I'd forgotten.
他有讲关于聚会的事吗？ [ Brandon ] Did he call about the party ?
是的,他想确定下时间 [ Phillip ] Yes, he wanted to make sure about the time.
- 来,我帮你 - 谢谢,卡特先生 Here, I'll help you with that. Thank you, Mr. Cadell.
- 很好 - 没事的,威尔逊太太 Very good. That's all right, Mrs. Wilson.
你可以早上才把书放回去 You can put the books back in the morning.
- 我不打算上午再过来一次 - 我想你得过来一下 I didn't have any idea of coming in in the morning. I'm afraid you have to.
- 现在把书放那就好了 - 哦,好吧 Just let the books go for now. Well, all right.
亨利,爱丽思那也没有 戴维的消息.她很担心 Henry, Alice hasn't had a word from David. She's frantic.
我最好和她说说 - 她挂了 她开始哭得很厉害了 I better talk to her. She hung up. She began to cry so badly.
- 哦,亨利,我很担心 - 她说什么了？ Oh, Henry, I'm worried. What did she say ?
她往他可能去的地方打了电话 不止一次,打了好几次 She's been calling every place he might be, not once, but several times.
现在,亨利,她想他可能出事了 And now, Henry, she thinks he may have had an accident.
- 她想你打电话给警察 - 警察？ She wants you to call the police. [Janet ] The police ?
哦,不,埃尼特 我认为没有那必要 [ Kentley ] Oh, no, Anita, I don't think that's necessary.
戴维不是小孩子 David's no longer a child.
我相信他没事的.我 I'm quite sure he's all right. I- -
布兰登,我想我最好回去了 我太太需要我 Brandon, I think I'd better go home. My wife needs me.
- 戴维不是这样子的.他 - 我理解 This isn't like David. He- - Of course. I understand.
要我跟您一起去吗 特里先生？谢谢,珍妮 May I go with you, Mr. Kentley ? Thank you,Janet.
- 我帮你拿东西 - 谢谢 I'll get your things. Thank you.
- 哦,肯特里先生,你的书 - 哦,对 Oh, Mr. Kentley, your books. Oh. Oh, yes.
我真是觉得很难过 I can't tell you how sorry I am.
你能一有戴维的消息 就告诉我一声吗？好的 Would you call me as soon as you hear from David ? [ Kentley ] Be glad to.
我想那孩子没事的 [ Mrs. Atwater ] I'm sure the dear boy will turn up.
- 珍妮 - 嗯？ Janet. Yes ?
我很高兴我们刚才的 那一番话我也是 This is hardly the time, but I'm very glad we had that talk. So am I.
- 戴维也会的 - 好 And David will be too. Good.
哦,肯尼思,你不一起来吗？ Well- - Kenneth, why don't you come along with us ?
- 哦,我不了 - 求你了 Oh, I don't- - Please.
- 谢谢 - 这是你的,珍妮？ Thanks. This yours,Janet ?
- 是的,给我吧 - 哦,谢谢 Yes, I'll just carry it. Oh, thanks.
- 我去拿帽子 - 哦,你跟珍妮一起走？ I'll get my hat. Oh, going with Janet ?
- 是的,我们一起走 - 我的猜想对了 Yes, we're all going together. What did I predict ?
晚安,肯特里先生 [ Brandon ] Good night, Mr. Kentley.
我希望肯特里太太 很快就没事了谢谢 I hope Mrs. Kentley's feeling better very soon. Thank you.
记得一有戴维的消息 就打电话给我？我会的 Call me the moment you hear from David? I will.
- 跟菲利普说晚安 - 我帮你拿帽子,卡特先生 [ Kentley ] Say good night to Phillip. I'll get your hat, Mr. Cadell.
阿特沃特太太 谢谢您能来 [ Brandon ] Mrs. Atwater, thank you for coming.
谢谢！我们得走了 [ Mrs. Atwater ] Thank you for letting me come. I'm so sorry we have to leave.
再见 [ Brandon ] Good night.
- 哦,这不是你的 - 哦 [ Laughs ] Oh, that's not yours. Oh.
- 哦 - 很抱歉,我们弄砸了宴会 Oh- - Oh- - [ Kentley ] I'm very sorry we had to spoil it.
不会的 [ Brandon ] You couldn't possibly spoil it.
我指我们这么早就走了 [ Kentley ] I meant by leaving so early.
- 小心楼梯 - 我们走了 Be careful of those stairs, Anita. Here we are.
- 谢谢你,威尔逊太太 - 再见,卡特先生 Thank you, Mrs. Wilson. Good night, Mr. Cadell.
- 你也要走了吗？ - 是的,晚安 Oh, you going too ? Yes, I must. Good night.
- 晚安 - 让我帮你 拿那些书吧,肯特里先生？ Good night. [ Rupert ] Can I help you with those books, Mr. Kentley ?
- 谢谢你的招待.再见 - 再见.真迷人 Thank you for a lovely evening. Good night, good night. It's been charming.
哦,菲利普,这宴会 真该记载在历史上 Oh, Phillip, this party really deserves to go down in history.
喂,好了,结束了 没有比这更漂亮的了 Well, come on, it's over, and it couldn't have gone more beautifully.
要是没有茹伯特的话更美 Yes, it could, without Rupert.
他帮我在这些傻瓜 面前说出了我想说的话 He helped me say all I wanted to say to those idiots.
- 如我所想,他给了 这宴会灵气 - 什么灵气？ He gave the party the touch I predicted. The touch of what ?
爱探听或是多管闲事？ Prying, snooping or just plain pumping ?
- 你知道他老是在盘问我吗？ - 盘问你什么？ Do you know how busy he was questioning me ? About what ?
哼,有什么关系？你老是 在忙着感受你的灵气 Oh, what difference ? You were busy arranging that other little touch of yours.
- 什么灵气？ - 那样子绑书 What touch ? Tying up the books that way.
哦,我觉得那很好呀 你不喜欢吗？ Oh, I thought that was wonderful. Didn't you like it ?
不,我一点也不喜欢 No, I didn't like it one bit.
有你的那些灵气 他会破坏所有事情的 He'll ruin everything with your neat little touches.
安静点.威尔逊太太在这 Be quiet. Mrs. Wilson's still here.
- 想喝醉吗？ - 我本来就醉了 Determined to get drunk, aren't you ? I am drunk.
当你说我是个 说谎鬼时一样的孩子气 And just as childish as you were before when you called me a liar.
你干嘛要说那个故事？ 你干嘛要撒谎？ You had no business telling that story. Why did you lie ?
- 我不得不 - 你知道别人会怎么想吗？ I had to. Have you ever bothered to understand how someone else might feel ?
我不是很多愁善感.我不是 这个意思,但是也没有关系了 I'm not sentimental. That's not what I mean, but it doesn't matter.
没关系,除了 布兰登喜欢这宴会外 Nothing matters, except that Mr. Brandon liked the party.
布兰登举行的宴会 Mr. Brandon gave the party.
布兰登有个开心的夜晚 Mr. Brandon had a delightful evening.
哼,我有个糟糕的夜晚 Well, I had a rotten evening.
继续喝下去 你会觉得更糟糕 Keep drinking and you'll have a worse morning.
除非我来个宿醉,这样更好 At least if I have a hangover, it'll be all mine.
你- 你知道吗,我一直在想 Y- You know, Phillip, I've been thinking.
当一切完结后我们 该有个真正的假期 We deserve a real holiday after it's all over.
当然,我们得回来 这里几天.不然的话 Of course, we should come back here for a few days. Otherwise, it might look- -
我一直在祈求我睡醒来 然后一切都没有发生为什么？ I've been praying I'd wake up and find we hadn't done it yet. But why ?
我怕死,布兰登 我想我们会被别人抓起来 I'm scared to death, Brandon. I think we're going to get caught.
- 哦,没有可能.没有可能 - 为什么 Oh, there's not a chance, not any more. Why, we're pra- -
是你吗？威尔逊太太？ [ Door Opening, Footsteps ] Is that you, Mrs. Wilson ?
是的,我得有把钥匙明天用 Yes. I'll need a key to get in in the morning...

- 你们俩看上去脸色不是很好 - 哦,谢谢 You don't look well, either one of you. Oh, thanks.
我该休息下 I could do with a rest myself,
但是我想你们俩 又会变瘦的我们会的 but I want both of you to come back in tip- top shape. We will.
好了我走了.玩得开心点 别忘了给我写信 Well, I'm off. Enjoy yourselves. Don't forget to write.
还有要注意下 你那些P和Q的拼写 嗯 And mind your P's and Q's. Mm- hm.

好吧,让他上了可是你知道 他在骗人.他上来调查的！ Well, let him come. But you know he's lying ! He's caught on !
- 回去椄电话 - 我不！ Get back to that phone. I won't.
- 回去椄 - 不,我不能 Get back to that phone. Brandon, I can't.
- 你必须去 - 不！他什么都知道！ You've got to. No ! He knows !
闭嘴 Shut up.
茹伯特？上来吧 Rupert? Come on up.
不,当然不 他只是有点紧张 No, uh, course not. He's just a little tight.
不,但是我们很快会找到的 No, but we'll find it in no time.
好 Right.
菲利普...菲利普,听我说 Phillip... Phillip, listen to me.
茹伯特现在上来 你最好表现自然点 Rupert's on his way up now, and you've got to pull yourself together.
菲利普,听到我说话了吗？ Phillip, did you hear me ?
来吧,如果你 必须喝多杯酒的话 Come on, have another drink if you must,
但是要表现自然,不要开口 but get hold of yourself and keep your mouth shut.
只要5分钟就了结了 It'll be over in five minutes.
我不知道,要是茹伯特知道什么 东西的话,我可以向你保证... I don't know how much, if anything, Rupert knows, but I promise you...
他5分钟后就会离开 怎样都得走 he'll be out of here in five minutes, one way or the other.

瞧,我不打算被人捉走... Now look, I'm not going to get caught...
不会因为你或是其他人 because of you or anyone else.
没人能挡我的路 No one is going to get in my way now.
布兰登,那没上档的吧？ Brandon, it's not loaded, is it ?
- 不好意思打搅了 - 没关系,请进 [ Rupert ] Sorry to bother you, Brandon. It's no bother. Come in.
我知道你今晚就走了 I knew you were leaving tonight.
我不想落下我的烟盒 你好,菲利普你好 I didn't want to be left without my case. Hello, Phillip. Hello.
- 我不是想吓你的 - 你没吓到他 I didn't mean to alarm you before. You didn't alarm him.
菲利普今晚有点反常 哦,我想 Phillip's a little antisocial tonight. Oh ? I thought- -
- 你知道你的烟盒放哪里吗？ - 我不记得了 Any idea where you left the case ? No, none at all.
我不应该忘记的,对不？ Completely unlike me to forget it, isn't it ?
我想心理学家能 告诉我我并没有忘记 I suppose a psychoanalyst would say that I didn't really forget it at all.
我潜意识的落下 它是因为我想回来 I unconsciously left it because I wanted to come back.
但是,我为什么想回来呢？ But, uh, why should I want to come back ?
是呀,为什么？因为有 你们相伴或是想喝多杯酒 Yes, why ? For the pleasure of our company or another drink.
- 好主意.我能喝一杯吗？ - 当然 That's a good idea. May I have one for the road ? Of course.
一小杯？不,我想大杯点 如果你不介意的话 A short one ? No, I'd prefer a long one if you don't mind.
菲利普,你给茹伯特 倒杯酒如何？让我想想 Phillip, will you fix Rupert a drink ? Now let me see.
我最后看到那烟盒是... The last I remember having the case...
我在这里的时候 was when I was there.
我那时刚想帮 威尔逊太太打开这箱子 I was just going to open the chest for Mrs. Wilson when you came over.
然后呢？ And then what ?
我想想 I think I, uh- -
可能在这.哦,它在这 Wonder where it could be. Oh, well, here it is right where I left it.
绅士们,不好意思 Gentlemen, I beg your pardon. I'm very sorry.
我,嗯 I, uh- -
- 我能再来一杯吗？ - 当然 Well, may I have that drink anyway ? Of course.
- 你真的不介意？ - 不,我们干嘛要介意呢？ You really don't mind ? No. Why should we ?
- 哦,你有点 - 什么？ Well, you might be- - What ?
累了.你确定没什么事吧？ - 他说你可以的 Tired. You're sure it's all right ? He said you could have it.
- 谢谢 - 别理菲利普.我想他喝多了 Thank you. Don't mind Phillip. I'm afraid he's had a few too many.
哦,干嘛不呢？ 毕竟这是个宴会 Well, why not ? Why not ? After all, it was a party.
哦,坐在这里喝美酒 有你们相伴真是享受 Well, it's very pleasant to sit here with a good drink and good company.
我很高兴 I'm glad.
- 别让我那样 - 怎样？ Please don't let me be in the way. Of what ?
- 我知道你们有事要做 - 你这话是什么意思？ I know you have things to do. What do you mean ?
收拾东西 收拾零零星星的东西 Packing, last- minute odds and ends.
- 你们今晚就去康涅狄格,不是吗？ - 是的,不过我们收拾好了 You are driving to Connecticut tonight, aren't you ? Yes, but we're all packed.
哦,都准备好了 Oh, I see. All ready.
除了一个客人必须走了 All except one guest, who must be gotten rid of.
哦,我要走了... Well, I'll be off...
喝完这杯酒吧 as, uh, as soon as I finish my drink.
别急,茹伯特 There's no need to hurry, Rupert.
谢谢.我想留久点 Thank you. I, uh, would like to stay a bit.
也许送你们走 Perhaps even see you off.
我向来不喜欢宴会结束 I always hate to leave a party,
尤其是令人兴奋的夜晚 especially when the evening has been unusually stimulating...
例如奇怪的今晚 or strange, like this evening.
“奇怪”是什么意思？ What do you mean, ''strange'' ?
我说“奇怪”了吗？ Did I say ''strange,'' Brandon ?
你老是选词看音不看意思 You often pick words for sound rather than meaning.
我不知道我自己在说什么 I don't exactly know what I meant...
除了我知道我在想戴维外 unless I was thinking about David.
- 戴维怎么了？ - 他没来 What was strange about David ? His not showing up.
你不觉得他该是出了意外吗？ You don't think anything really did happen to him ?
有可能吗？他也许是 车祸了或是被绑架了 What could have ? He could have been run over or held up.
- 大白天的？ - 是的.我忘了 In broad daylight ? That's right. I'd forgotten.
没错,应该是大白天时发生的 Yes, it must have been broad daylight when it happened.
什么时候,发生什么事？ When, uh, what happened ?
任何发生在戴维身上的事 When whatever did happen to David.
也许什么事也没 Nothing, probably.
言归正传,他在哪里？ Still, where is he ?
- 你看呢？ - 我？ What's your theory ? Mine ?
我想他在珍妮那 I was considering Janet's for the moment.
- 哦？我可不这么想 - 你是这么想的 Oh ? I didn't know she had one. Yes, you do.
我忍不住偷听珍妮说话 I couldn't help overhearing Janet.
她认为是你绑架了戴维 或者令他不能来 She thinks you kidnapped David, or did something to prevent him from coming.
我才对珍妮的胡话没兴趣呢 但是你常对我感兴趣,茹伯特 I'm not interested in Janet's prattle, but you always interest me, Rupert.
你认为我“绑架”了戴维？ Do you think I, uh, ''kidnapped'' David ?
你在学校时常做这种恶作剧... It's the sort of mischief that would have appealed to you in school...
只是为了感受刺激 经历和危险 for the experience, the excitement, the danger.
但是现在真的来做 这事的话有点难,你觉得呢？ But it would be slightly more difficult to pull off now, though, don't you think ?
- 哦,你找到法子 - 怎么做？ Ah, you'd find a way. How ?
我的意思是 假设你是我的话 I mean, suppose you were I.
你该如何除掉戴维？ How would you get David out of the way ?
你干这个比我在行了 你会怎么做？ You're much better at this than I am. What would you do?
如果我想除掉戴维的话 Well, if I wanted to get rid of David,
我会约他来俱乐部 或是安静的酒吧喝下酒 I'd invite him for a drink at the club or some quiet bar,
或是邀请他来这里 or better still, I'd invite him here.
这样就没有人看到我们 在一起了,很好,没有目击者 Then no one would see us together. That's good. And no witnesses.
- 是的没错 - 然后呢？ Yes, that's right. Then what ?
然后 Well- -
然后,我想想 Well, let me see.
在约定的时间里 戴维会来这 At the appointed time, David would arrive.
我会走出房间见他 I'd walk slowly out of the room into the hall.
我会欢迎他 告诉他看起来很好... I'd greet him, tell him how fine he's looking and so forth...
然后,拿走他的帽子 and, uh, take his hat.
然后带他来这里 Then I'd bring him in here,
跟他聊下天让他放松 make some small talk to put him at his ease,
也许倒杯酒给他 probably offer him a drink...
- 然后他坐下来 - 椄着？ and then he'd sit down. [ Brandon ] Yes ?
我会尽量让 他觉得很舒服的 I'd try to make it all very pleasant, you understand.
菲利普也许会在弹钢琴 Phillip would probably play the piano.
据我所知,戴维挺强壮的 Now, as I recall, David was quite strong.
要把他敲晕 He'd have to be knocked out.
所以我会悄悄地走到椅子 后面然后用东西砸他的头 So I'd move quietly around behind the chair and hit him on the head with something.
他的尸体就会向前倒在地上 His body would fall forward on the floor.
然后呢？ 你会把他放哪里？ [ Brandon ] Then where would you put him ?
嗯 Well, uh- -
让我想想 Well, let me see.
我想我会要菲利普 帮我把他搬出去 Well, I think I'd get Phillip to help me carry him out of the room,
下楼梯,放到车里 down the back stairs, and the two of us would put him into the car.
- 你都看到了 - 什么？ You'd be seen. What ?
你说要是什么事发生的话 You said that if anything did happen,
也是白天发生的 it must have happened in broad daylight.
对,我忘了这点 That's right. I'd forgotten.
我在黑夜来之前 找地方藏起来 I'd find someplace to hide the body until dark.
- 没错,可是你要放哪里呢？ - 对 Yes, you would, but where, Rupert ? Yes.
对,放哪里？ Yes, where ?
猫和老鼠！ 猫和老鼠！菲利普 Cat and mouse ! Cat and mouse ! Phillip.
- 谁是猫谁是老鼠？ - 够了 Which is the cat and which is the mouse ? That's enough.
- 管你自己的事好了 - 够了,菲利普 Mind your own business. That's enough, Phillip.
我告诉过你的 管你自己的事好了 I told you before, mind your own business !
- 这不是我的事 - 我不是他的保姆 It really isn't any of my business. I'm not his keeper.
看他的情况 Uh, with him in this condition, though,
茹伯特,你再呆下去 也没有什么意思了 there doesn't seem to be much point in your staying, Rupert.
那就是说,除非你回来... That is, unless you came back...
不是为了你的烟盒 to find something besides your cigarette case.
你是指,例如 为了查出你真的除掉戴维 You mean, for example, to find if you really got rid of David.
- 是的,我就是这个意思 - 哦,你跟珍妮一样浪漫 Yes, that's what I mean. Oh, you're as romantic as Janet.
我不认为你绑架了戴维 I don't think you kidnapped David.
我知道我有点受珍妮影响 但是我从没提到这... I admit Janet put the notion in my head, but I never would have mentioned it...
你是不是怕让我知道真相？ if it weren't that you seem to be carrying fear of discovery in your pocket.
- 什么？ - 那是只枪,对吗？ What ? That's a gun, isn't it ?
哦 [ Laughing ] Oh.
这更加引起我猜疑了 告诉你吧 That teased my suspicions more than anything else, and to tell you the truth,
- 这真令我有点怕 - 很抱歉,茹伯特 it really scares me a little. I'm terribly sorry, Rupert.
我没有责怪你,但是,这里 I don't blame you, but- - Well, here.
你可以放松点 我打算带这个出门的 You can relax. I have to take it up to the country.
那里有劫案 妈妈有点担心 There've been several burglars, and Mother's a bit on edge.
- 哦,没讲完呢,菲利普？ - 好了 Uh, finished, Phillip ? [ Phillip ] All right.
你听到茹伯特 怎么说那枪的吗？ [ Brandon ] Did you hear what Rupert said about the gun ?
他以为 He thought- - [ Laughing ]
人能把小小的事情 上升到恐怖事件也真行 It's odd the way one can pyramid simple facts into wild fantasies.
我们是这么想的 对不,菲利普？没错 [ Brandon ] We all do it, don't we, Phillip ? [ Phillip ] Yes.
尤其是喝了酒后 你呢,茹伯特？ [ Brandon ] Particularly after a few drinks. Uh, how is yours, Rupert ?
我想我该走了 I think I'll be running along.
菲利普,如果你去 外头的话,感觉会好点 [ Brandon ] Phillip, you'll feel better once you get out in the air.
我不这么认为 我们该过得好点 I don't think there'll be much traffic. We ought to make good time.
夜色很美.开车更好 It's a lovely night. You'll be driving up in good weather.
我希望我能和你一起去 应该会很令人兴奋的 I almost wish I were going with you. It might be rather exciting.
晚上开车就是这样 Driving at night always is,
但是现在和你跟 菲利普一起开车的话... but driving with you and Phillip now...
则会令人起疑心的 might have an additional element of, uh, suspense.
你说的没错 那些书绑得很差 You were right, Phillip. Those books were tied clumsily.
- 他知道！他知道！ - 菲利普 He's got it. He's got it ! Phillip.
他知道.他知道.他知道 He knows. He knows. He knows.
- 好了,放松点.我来处理 - 你才不呢 All right, easy. I'll take care of it. No, you won't.
我杀你易如反掌.更容易 I'd just as soon kill you as kill him. Sooner !
这就是你要的,要别人知道 This is what you wanted: somebody else to know.
让别人看看你多聪明 就像在学校里一样 Somebody else to see how brilliant you are, just like at school.
我告诉你他会知道的 而你还让他来 I told you he'd find out, but you had to have him here.
- 闭嘴！ - 不,你让我做的,我恨你.我恨 Shut up ! No ! You made me do it, and I hate you. I hate both- -
讨厌的醉鬼 [ Brandon ] Stupid babbling drunk.
- 对不起,茹伯特 - 没事了 I'm sorry, Rupert. It's all right.
没事了.如果你真的 想杀的话,不会射不准的 It's all right. If you really want to kill, you don't miss,
- 我不在那范围里 - 当然他不是真的想杀你 not at that range. Of course he didn't want to kill you.
他不知道自己在说什么 自己在做什么 He didn't know what he was doing, any more than he knew what he was saying.
他快成酒鬼了,茹伯特 He's becoming an alcoholic, Rupert- -
布兰登,你站在那里好吗？ Brandon, will you step over there, please ?
菲利普喝醉了,茹伯特 Phillip's drunk, Rupert.
你当然不会把那些话当真 Surely you don't take those nightmare ideas seriously- -
布兰登,布兰登,我累了 Brandon. Brandon, I'm tired.
同时,我也觉得很吃惊 但是我不想在废话了 And in a way, I'm frightened too, but I don't want to fence any more.
- 你打算做什么？ - 我不想 What are you going to do ? I don't want to,
但是我要看下那个箱子 but I'm gonna look inside that chest.
你疯了吗？我也希望是 我真的希望我是疯了 Are you crazy ? I hope so. With all my heart, I hope I'm crazy.
- 这跟你无关 - 我要看下那个箱子 This has nothing to do with you. I've got to look inside that chest.
好啊！你看！ All right ! Go ahead and look.
我希望你会 满意你所看到的 I hope you like what you see.
哦,不,不！ Oh, no. No !
- 茹伯特 - 我不相信这是真的 Rupert- - I couldn't believe it was true.
- 茹伯特,求你了 - 求我什么？ Rupert, please- - Please what ?
- 听我说.我解释给你听 - 你觉得你能解释得清？ Listen to me. Let me explain. Do you think you can explain that ?
是的,对于你可以 因为你能理解理解？ Yes, to you I can, because you'll understand. Understand ?
茹伯特,记得我们和 肯特里先生讨论的话吗？记得 Rupert, remember the discussion we had before with Mr. Kentley ? Yes.
记得我们说 “低等人的生命无关紧要”？ Remember we said, ''the lives of inferior beings are unimportant'' ?
记得我们说,我们常说 Remember we said- - we've always said, you and I- -
好与坏,对与错的道德观念 that moral concepts of good and evil and right and wrong...
不适用于聪明的上等人？ don't hold for the intellectually superior.
- 记得吧,茹伯特？ - 是的 Remember, Rupert ? Yes, I remember.
这就是我们做的事 我和菲利普做的事 That's all we've done. That's all Phillip and I have done.
他和我过着 你和我讨论的生活 He and I have lived what you and I have talked.
我知道你明白的 因为你必须明白的.你必须要 I knew you'd understand, because you have to, don't you see ? You have to.
布兰登 Brandon- -
布兰登,直到这一刻为止 Brandon, till this very moment,
这个世界和这个世界的人 this world and the people in it...
对我来说都是 黑暗和不可理喻的 have always been dark and incomprehensible to me,
我曾试着用我的逻辑 开辟另一条思路... and I've tried to clear my way with logic...
还有赞同高等人的聪明 and superior intellect.
而你让我搬石头 砸自己的脚,布兰登 And you've thrown my own words right back in my face, Brandon.
你事对的.如果没有别的事 一个人该坚持他说过的话 You were right to. If nothing else, a man should stand by his words.
但是你让我的话 有了前所未有的意义 But you've given my words a meaning that I never dreamed of !
你扭曲他们... And you've tried to twist them...
使他们成为你 罪恶的谋杀的借口 into a cold, logical excuse for your ugly murder !
哦,他们不是的.布兰登 Well, they never were that, Brandon,
你不能这样做 and you can't make them that.
应该是有什么东西 从一开始就令你... There must have been something deep inside you from the very start...
这么做 that let you do this thing,
但是我的内心深处 不会让我这么做... but there's always been something deep inside me that would never let me do it...
- 更不会让我举行个宴会 - 你是什么意思？ and would never let me be a party to it now. What do you mean ?
我的意思是今晚 你令我对我以前所有... I mean that tonight you've made me ashamed of every concept I ever had...
关于高等人或 低等人的言论蒙羞 of superior or inferior beings.
但是我感谢你 因为直到现在我才知道... But I thank you for that shame, because now I know...
我们每个人都是 独立的个体,布兰登 that we are each of us a separate human being, Brandon,
每个人有权生存 工作和思考 with the right to live and work and think as individuals,
但是我们都得 服从社会的规则 but with an obligation to the society we live in.
你有什么权利说... By what right do you dare say...
你是属于高等人？ that there's a superior few to which you belong ?
你有什么权利可以决定... By what right did you dare decide...
那个孩子是低等人,并且该死？ that that boy in there was inferior and therefore could be killed ?
你以为你是上帝吗,布兰登？ Did you think you were God, Brandon ?
这就是你在 夺取他生命时想的吗？ Is that what you thought when you choked the life out of him ?
这就是你在他的坟墓上 摆放食物时想的吗？ Is that what you thought when you served food from his grave ?
我不认识你 但是我知道你做了什么 I don't know what you thought, but I know what you've done.
你杀了人！ You've murdered !
你杀了一个 You've strangled a fellow human being...
可以过着你永远 也过不上的生活的人 who could live and love as you never could, and never will again.
- 你在做什么？ - 这不会是我会做的 What are you doing ? It's not what I'm going to do.
这是社会将会做的 我不知道,但是我猜得到 It's what society's going to do. I don't know what that will be, but I can guess.
我能尽一点力.你会死的 布兰登,你们两个都会！ And I can help. You're going to die, Brandon, both of you !
你们都得死 You're going to die.
- 什么枪声？ - 我听到三声枪声 [ Woman ] Was that a gun? [ Man #1 ] Yes, I heard three shots.
没错,是上面的枪声 [ Man #2 ] Yeah, they came from up there.
我想最好打电话给警察 [ Man #1 ] I think somebody better call the police.
你们听到枪声了吗？ [ Man #3 ] Did anyone hear any shots fired?
我能用你的电话吗？ [ Man #3 ] Can I use your phone ?
警车来了 [ Man On Street ] Here comes a squad car now.
他们来了 They're coming.
