但我不知道最後我會落腳在何處 I just don't know where I'm gonna end up, though.
我等著 I'll hold.
我感到很對不起她 I feel bad for her.
她只是個教文法基礎的老師 她不是社工 She just an ABC teacher. She ain't no social worker.

- 喬安 有什麼好笑的? - 不好笑! 但是到底發生什麼了? - Joann, what's so funny? - For real. What happened?
你不會想知道的 You don't wanna know is how it got on the blanket.
你知道你的問題所在麼 喬安? You know what your problem is, Joann?
就是你無法嚴肅處事 That you can't take anything serious enough.

棒極了 Perfect. You get a gold star.

哦 我的天 她們原來是女同性戀 Oh, my God. These straight- up lesbians.
- 這位是阿杜 - 太漂亮了 他看上去就像你一樣 - This is Abdul. - He's gorgeous. He looks just like you.
- 阿珍 我能抱抱麼? - 你知道怎麼抱麼? - Precious, can I hold him? - You know how to?
但她們是那麼好心 讓我在找到安定的地方前 They still nice enough to let us stay in their home
住在她們家裡 until I get situated, though.
- 還挺沉! 我的天 - 真是... - He's heavy. Oh, my God! - You wanna hold him?
我猜這就是電視中的那些人 過耶誕節時的感覺吧 I guess this is how the peoples on TV feel at Christmastime.
- 別掉了 - 哦 拜託 我對小孩兒當然小心了 - Don't drop him. - Come on. I only work with children.
我還記得 You know how you are. I saw you...
你裝飾聖誕樹的時候 什麼都掉地上 When we were putting up the tree, you dropped half the top of it.
她們對我和阿杜那麼的好 They're so nice to me and Abdul.
小心點 兩隻手都用上 - Be careful. Hold him with both hands. - Please.
小阿杜 Oh, Abdul.
聖誕快樂 阿珍 Merry Christmas, Precious.
謝謝你 Thank you.
為什麼幾乎不認識我的人 Why peoples that barely know me
待我都比我爸爸我媽媽要好? should be nicer to me than my mother and my father?
- 我感覺到溫暖 - 你把貓關起來了麼? - I felt warm.
- 什麼?! - 我就是... - What? - I'm just...
我就是擔心寶寶 貓還在樓上 I'm just concerned about the baby and the cats upstairs.
- 沒事的 - 好吧 - They're fine. - OK
奶奶害怕媽媽 Grandmother's scared of Momma.
這知道這就是她不讓我和她住一起的原因 I know that's why she ain't Letting me stay with her.
如果麥當勞... lf Ronald McDonald were running things...
雨小姐說什麼都不要怕 Ms. Rain say don't be afraid of nothing.
那漢堡的售價...
我打賭她不會害怕我媽媽 I bet she ain't scared of Momma.
難道你不會心生疑惑麼? Wouldn't you be a little bit suspicious?
那你寫成書吧 Just write the book.
- 那誰來看呢? - 你不寫也沒人看啊 - Well, who's gonna read it? - Nobody, if you don't write it.
知道麼 阿珍天天都寫作 You know, Precious writes every day. You should try it.
是麼? 你都寫些什麼呢 阿珍? is that right? What do you write about, Precious?
就是 Stuff.
我的生活 阿杜... My life. Abdul.
你們怎麼會都不喜歡麥當勞呢? How come y'all don't like McDonald's?
卡瑟琳只是做些比較... Katherine was just drawing a comparison
這樣她的觀點可以更容易被理解... so that her point could be more easily understood. Yes.
她們說話就像我不看的電視頻道 They talk Like TV channels I don't watch.
- 誰會看呢? - 比如 克力頓大叔 My Uncle Clayton.
我很高興阿杜也能聽著 因為我知道她們很聰明 I'm glad Abdul here to Listen in on them, though, 'cause I know they're smart. Before he got saved,
他吸起煙來就像個煙囪 喝起酒來像條魚 he used to smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish.
她們說的我一個字都聽不懂 I don't understand a word they're saying.
明白麼? You understand?
你們都看歌劇麼? Y'all be watching Oprah?
不 其實我不看 你知道我下班回家都幾點了? No. I don't, actually. You know what time I get home from work.
- 我看 - 媽媽說同性戀都是壞人 - I watch it. - Momma say homos is bad peoples.
那你應該寫作啊 you should write
但是媽媽 同性戀不是對我暴力的人 But Momma, homos not ones who raped me.
為什麼你是? And what do that make you?
同性戀讓我學到了我在學校 那麼多年沒有學到的東西 Homos not ones who let me sit in class all them years and never Learn nothing.
同性戀也不是黑人區賣毒品的那些 The homos not ones who sell crack to peoples in Harlem.
- 我從沒見過 告訴她! - ...that I have ever seen. Tell her! - That doesn't work.
歌劇裡是怎樣描述這些的? I wonder what Oprah got to say about that.
是雨小姐將粉筆遞在我手中 Ms. Rain is the one who put the chalk in my hand,
讓我成為字母表的女王 made me queen of the ABC's.
自從我在一間中轉房落腳後 After I settled at the halfway house,
我開始盡我的努力學習 記憶 I worked my hardest to memorize Letter sounds,
寫筆記 讀各種書 writing in the journal, and reading smaller and fatter books.
後來我發現 市長辦公室... 給我頒發了文明進步獎 還有獎金支票 Then I found out the Mayor's office give me a Literacy award and a check for progress.
1, 2, 3. One, two, three.
派對開始了 The party is on.
約翰 Go, Joann!
每個人都來了 護士約翰... 所有的工作人員都來了 Let me see what you got! Everybody come. Nurse John, Cornrows, all the staff was out there.
連卡瑟琳都來了 Even Ms. Katherine showed up.
阿珍! Precious.
怎麼了? What's up?
讓我看一下? What's that?
這看上去像啥? What does it look like?
就個塑膠蘋果唄 Plastic stupid apple.
給你點東西 A little something for you.
- 是給我的錢麼? - 你怎麼那麼貪呢 - is there more money in it? - You're so greedy.
那個...那兩位是誰? Yo, who's that?
雜了? What?
- 怎麼啦?! - 過來! - What? - Come on.
阿珍 你要帶我去哪兒? Precious, where are you taking me?
那我該怎麼辦 事兒媽? 沒錯 先等下 先別掛 姑娘 什麼事 阿... What am I supposed to do, diva? Yeah? Wait a minute. Hold on, girl. Yeah...
我媽昨晚打電話給我 My mom called last night.
而...我們沒怎麼有來往 And we don't really have a relationship.
我們不談話 她對我是... We don't talk, because she really has a problem with...
有些人就像一盞明燈照亮周圍的人 Some folks got a light around them that shine for other peoples.
有些人曾經就像生活在隧道裡 I think maybe some of them was in tunnels,
而那隧道 唯一的光亮就是 and in that tunnel, maybe the only Light they had
內心的光亮 was inside of them.
我想過你要多堅強來承受這一切 Then I thought about how strong you've had to be.
而然後 即使在逃離了隧道很久之後... And then, even Long after they escaped that tunnel...
- 我來打掃 - 好吧 - I'll help you clean up. - Okay.
內心的光亮依然照耀著別人 ...they still be shining for everybody else.
雨小姐對我來說就是這樣 That's Ms. Rain to me.
在我讀的這本書裡 有一個女人逃到了中轉房 In a book I read, this Lady escaped to a halfway house.
當她在那裡時 And when she was there,
她問那裡的人 中轉房是什麼意思 she asked the people there what a halfway house was.
他們告訴他 這就是你過去 的生活和你想要的生活的中轉站 They told her it was halfway between her old life and where she wanna be.
感覺挺好的 That's kind of nice.
這也意味著我不能一輩子待在這裡 That also mean I can't stay here forever.
還有很長的路要走 There's still a way to go.
要是我有了自己的公寓該多好 It'd be something to get my own apartment.
阿杜九個月大了 差不多能走路了 他也很聰明 Abdul nine months and almost walking. He's smart, too.
從他出生的那天起我就讀書給他聽 I've been reading to him since the day he was born.
他還不會說話 但他已經懂一些了 He's barely talking, but he's already counting.
媽媽 爸爸 Momma, Daddy,
林克斯大道444號的日子 在我看來已經是過去的噩夢了 444 Lenox all seem Like some old, bad dream.
我真希望一切是從這裡開始 但還是和阿杜在一起 I wish I could've just started out here, but still with Abdul.
還有小芒果 我要把小芒果帶回來 I'm gonna get Mongo, too. I gotta get Mongo back.
嗨 湯森夫人 Hey, Miss Cassidy.
嗨 阿珍 下麵有人在等你 Hey, Precious, somebody downstairs for you.
- 是誰? - 我不知道是誰 - Who is it? - I didn't ask who it was.
用我幫你看孩子麼? You want me to watch the baby?
不用了 我正好也要下去 No, I gotta go down and get him anyway.
你爸死了 Your daddy dead.
就說這? That's all?
他得了愛滋 He had that AlDS virus.
阿珍! Precious
There you go, dreaming again!
阿珍 你聽到我跟你說話了麼? Precious, do you hear me talking to you?
你聽到我說什麼了麼? Did you hear what I said?
你得了麼? You got it?
得啥? Got what?
- 愛滋病 - 沒 - The AlDS virus. - No.
你怎麼知道? How do you know?
我們從沒做過肛交的 所以我知道 We never did it up in the ass, so I know.
你最好去看看醫生 媽 You better get to a doctor, Mom.
你回家不? You coming home?
喲 阿珍! Yo, Precious!
莉塔 Rita,
如果一個作者寫一個人是 what do I mean when I say the author describes her protagonist's
不知天高地厚 是什麼意思 circumstances as "unrelenting"?
我不知道 不知道 I don't know. I don't know.
比方說麗塔 朝一個方向走路 it's like, say, like if Rita, she tries to do something,
該停的時候 又接著走 and she's going and she's going, and me, I try to stop her
她不停 又接著走 and she no stop, she keep on going.
不管周圍 那樣 Relentless- un.
那稍後見 再見 I'll see you tonight. Bye.
為什麼是我?
來一下 Come with me.
阿珍? Precious?
抱歉? Excuse me?
護士說我HIV陽性 Nurse say I'm HlV positive.
我今天什麼都不想寫 I don't got nothing to write today.
孩子們還好麼? is your baby okay?
沒事 只要我不用母乳喂他們的話 He all right. I just got to stop breastfeeding him.
還記得曾經有一次你告訴我... Remember, you once told me
你還沒有好好的和他講過故事 you never really got to tell your story.
- 寫下來 - 操你! - Write. - Fuck you!
我所經歷的你知道個屁! You know nothing of what I've been through.
我從沒有過男朋友 I don't never had no boyfriend.
我爸爸說他想娶我 My daddy said he gonna marry me.
為什麼呢? 因為他想合法操我! How he gonna do that? it would fucking be illegal!
寫 Write.
我受夠了 雨小姐 I'm tired, Ms. Rain.
如果不想為自己寫 那為愛你的人寫 lf not for yourself, then for the people who love you.
沒人愛我 Nobody loves me.
人們愛你 阿珍 People do love you, Precious.
請你別騙我了 雨小姐 Please don't lie to me, Ms. Rain.
愛從來沒為我帶來什麼好處 Love ain't done nothing for me.
愛 打我 強姦我 Love beat me, raped me,
稱我為野獸 讓我覺得自己一無是處 讓我得病 called me an animal, make me feel worthless. Make me sick.
那不是愛 阿珍 That wasn't love, Precious.
你的寶寶愛你 Your baby loves you.
我愛你 I love you.
寫 Write.
你在想些什麼呢? What are you thinking?
你從沒跟我說過 你和你媽媽的關係 You never told me about your relationship with your mother.
我是沒說過 是吧? I didn't, did l?
真的 我來這裡是幫助你 Really, I'm here to help you.
你可以和我談 這裡很安全 You can talk to me. This is a safe environment.
你說得沒錯 You're right.
要不然談談你爸爸也可以 We could talk about your daddy instead.
我們可以談談我媽媽 我爸爸 我姨媽... We could talk about my mother, my father,
我姐姐和我哥哥 但這都不會幫到你 my aunts or my sister or my brother, but none of it's gonna help you.
你一點都不喜歡我 You don't even like me.
我們不是已經在這房間裡 Have we not been in this room together
相處有一年時間 討論你的生活麼? for, like, a year, discussing your life?
就是說討論了我的生活 我們就可以互相喜歡了麼? Does that mean we like each other, because we discuss my life?
我不能替你說 我只能說我自己的想法 而我是喜歡你的 I can't speak for you. I can only speak for me, and I do like you. I do.
那 你是義大利人 So, are you Italian, or...
算是什麼人種呢? What color are you, anyway?
算是某種黑人還是西班牙人? Are you some type of black or Spanish?
你覺得我算什麼人種呢? What color do you think I am?
現在我挺想知道的 你覺得我是什麼人種呢? No, I'd like to know. What color do you think I am?
我喉嚨幹了 My throat is dry.
- 你喉嚨幹了? - 這裡挺熱的 - Your throat is dry? - it's really hot in here.
這兒是挺熱的 it is kind of hot in here.
我去買瓶汽水 你要什麼? I'm gonna go get a soda. What do you want?
我也要汽水就行 Soda sounds fine.
好的 All right.
謝謝你 Thank you.
不客氣 No problem.
那麼 我必須跟你談談你媽媽的事 So, I have to talk to you about your mother,
我不知道你做何感想 但是 and I don't know how you're gonna feel about this,
她說她想看看你... but she says she wants to see you
她想和你還有孫子重聚 and she wants to be reunited with you and her grandchildren.
她想來和你會面談談 She wants to come and have a session here with you.
你怎麼跟她說的? What did you tell her?
我說我會轉告給你的 I said I had to speak to you about it.
你來決定 it's up to you.
我不知道 我也從沒有想過 I don't know. I never thought about it before.
懷斯小姐說沒什麼比的上HIV病毒 Ms. Weiss said in that flee I got HIV.
她說我會因此而死 She said I was supposed to die from it.
我不擔心我死 I ain't worried about dying.
我擔心怎樣才能養大我的孩子 Shit, I gotta worry about how I'm supposed to raise these kids.
我剛寫的是關於... I was just writing, like, about...
我想開這麼一個診所 I wanna open up this clinic
關注母親和孩子... about, like, mothers and their children.
就是有病或者之類的... You know, just, if they're sick or something like that.
我總是想這麼做 幫助鄰里 因為我知道我媽媽 I always wanted to do that, give back to the community.
一定會為我感到驕傲 還有我的孩子也是 Because I know my mom would be proud of me if I did that, and my children, too.
我想我的孩子為媽媽感到驕傲 是吧? I want my children to be proud of their mother, you know?
- 這就是我想做的 所以... - 就這樣 挺好的 - That's always what I wanted to do, so... - That's good. That's really nice.
我希望大家都能聽一下 我是想說一下怎麼回事 I don't really want to read the whole thing, I kind of just wanna say what it's about.
好的... 救助中心去談話的事 Okay, the counselors at Advancement House,
是因為我爸爸和媽媽 對吧? they were quizzing me about my mother and my father, right?
其實不是關於他們的 But it's not really about them.
他們想讓我在那裡工作 They're trying to get me to do workfare.
- 他們想讓我做陪護員 - 你怎麼知道的? - They want me to be a home attendant. - How do you know?
因為我在那兒偷了我的檔案 Because I stole my file and I read it.
他們想讓我做的就是工作 All they want me to do is work.
我是想要工作 但我不想要賺得不夠養活自己的工作 Now, I do wanna work, but not for no welfare check. What kind of sense that make,
這樣做到底意義何在? 像阿珍這樣高中沒畢業就被退學 for somebody like Precious to quit school before she got her GED
然後去不知道什麼地方給白人老人幹活? and go work for some old white people somewhere?
她什麼壞事也沒做 沒理由被害得被困在這上面 She ain't never gonna be nothing if she gets stuck in some shit like that.
蘭達曾經當過陪護員 Rhonda used to home attend.
她去過布利萊頓海灘 She used to have to go all the way out to Brighton Beach.
好的 蘭達曾經作陪護整天整夜 Yeah, okay, Rhonda would be working there all day and night.
隨時搖鈴呼喚 是吧? She'd be on call, right?
賺時薪6.37美元 按照八小時工作制 She made $6.37 an hour, but for only eight hours.
所以一天是50.96美元 That equal out to $50.96.
但這可沒多少錢 But that's not a whole lot of money,
因為事實 她工作24小時 especially 'cause, for real, she there for 24 hours.
所以... 50.96除以24 那就是時薪2,06美元 這可沒多少錢 So, $50.96 divided by 24 is $2.1 2 an hour. That's not a lot of money.
她說那個老賤人會搖鈴鐺 貨真價實的鈴鐺 She said that old bitch would ring a bell, like, a real life, actual bell
如果她半夜想要她幹點啥 when she wanted something from her in the middle of the night.
- 誰想幹那破事 - 蘭達 是真的麼 蘭達? - You don't want to do that shit. - Rhonda, is that true? Rhonda!
陪護員一天要工作6天 Them home attendants be working for, like, six days a week.
那我只能在周日見阿杜了 而且還不能上課了? I'd only see Abdul on Sunday. Plus, I'd have to leave class.
那麼 那不可行 你不能離開課堂 Well, that's not an option. You're not leaving class.
另外 下次還要去討論"insect(蟲子)"問題 Plus, I'm gonna start going to insect survivor meetings.
那是"incest"(亂倫) it's "incest."
- 我不是那麼說的麼? - 不是 你說的是insect - That ain't what I said? - No, you said "insect."
有啥區別? What's the difference?
一個是指你家庭內問題 Well, one's where your family molests you,
另一個是指蟲子 昆蟲 the other's like a roach or bugs.
- 哦 你現在是科學家了? - 我就是說一下嗎 - So, you a scientist now? - I'm just saying.
沒事 挺好 謝謝你 No, that's cool. Thank you. Thank you.
當知道爸死了時 是一種既難過又奇怪的感覺 It was hard telling them strangers there what my father did.
有時候感覺很好 Sometimes it felt good.
上一周雨小姐讓我們寫自己夢想的樣子 Last week, Ms. Rain asked us to write down what we wanna be like.
我寫的是 我想要非常苗條 I wrote that I be real skinny,
黑皮膚 長頭髮 with Light skin and Long hair.
路易桑·赫盧威? Loretta Holloway?
馬上就到 Go on back there.
她回寫道 我現在就很漂亮 She read it and said I'm beautiful like I am.
這兒也沒人和我一起玩 But, there's no kids back there for me to play with.
閉嘴好好坐著 Just shut up and sit there, then.
我去和那娘們談談話 免得我們飯錢給斷了 Gonna talk to this lady before my shit gets cut off.
不知怎的... But somehow,
現在... 我不知道為什麼 但是... right now... And I don't know why, but...
我想她說得沒錯 I think she right.
給你 Here.
柯瑞絲·鐘斯! Clarence Jones?
我想她說得沒錯 I think she right.
好的 鐘斯女士 我們來談談虐待(abuse也指'濫用')問題 Okay, Mrs. Johnston, let's talk about the abuse.
我們家可沒有毒品 我不來那個 There were no drugs in my house.
我們家沒毒品 阿珍知道... I didn't play that. There weren't no drugs in my house. Precious knew I would whup her ass
如果她帶毒品回家 我讓她吃不了兜著走 if she gonna bring some drugs up in my house.
你知道我指的什麼 You know what I'm talking about.
我想特指的是身體上的 性行為上的虐待 I'm referring to specific sexual and physical acts
涉及到阿珍的 involving Precious.
你為啥那麼說? Why you ain't say that?
沒錯 就是 Yes, that.
你...你想知道什麼? What do you wanna know?
如阿珍的檔案所寫 她已經生過兩個孩子 According to Precious' files, she has now had two children
父親是 賴特·卡爾·溫伍德·鐘斯... 同時也是阿珍的生父? by your boyfriend. the late Carl Kenwood Jones, who was also her father.
- 是的 - 這是沒錯的? - Yeah. - This is accurate?
是的 懷斯小姐 Yes, Ms. Weiss.
而你來這裡的原因 是因為你打電話到這個辦公室 I need to know why you're here. You've been calling this office
說想要和阿珍重聚 還有你的孫子 saying you want to be reunited with Precious and your grandchild.
我真的需要知道 那個家裡 到底發生了什麼? Now, I really need to know what's gone on in that home.
懷斯小姐 我明白你想討論什麼 但是... Ms. Weiss, I understand we need to discuss it,
我想告訴你 你說我打電話到這裡 but I'm just telling you.
說想再見到阿珍和孫子 You said I've been calling here and I've been wanting to see Precious and my grandson.
這太逑對了 我就是想見 他們就是屬於我的 好麼 You're goddamn right I wanna see them. Because they belong to me. Okay?
曾經有那麼一段時間 阿珍什麼都不缺 Now, there was a time Precious had everything,
這你就不知道 and I done told her that.
而我和卡爾 我們愛阿珍 And me and Carl, we loved Precious. And you need to know that.
這你應該知道 我們愛阿珍 我們也有過夢想 We loved Precious and we had dreams.
阿珍出生正好是... 維絲大媽兒子死的時候 Precious was born around the same time Ms. West's son got killed.
是夏天 她是生在... 在夏天 The summertime. She was born in the summertime.
還記得麼 記得...? Remember? Remember that?
我十一月生的 I was born in November.
十一月... November.
沒錯... 說得沒錯... Yeah, that's right.
蛇蠍心腸的孩子 My Scorpio child.
你知道麼... You know...
蛇蠍心腸 可是... 會很狡猾的 Scorpios, they can be tricky.
我不是說...我不是說她撒謊了 And, I'm not saying that they lie. I'm not saying that.
我沒有說 但你要注意著點 But you just gotta watch them.
我們能不能談談 Can we talk about the actual acts
確切發生的事情和性虐待 of physical and sexual abuse
發生在你家裡的 that occurred in your household?
最早是從什麼時候開始? When it first began,
在哪裡發生的? 你作何反應? where it happened and how did you respond?
阿珍還是個小女孩時 Precious was a little girl.
試試看想起當時她有多大? Try and remember how old you think she was.
她當時3歲 She was three.
我當時... 用奶瓶喂她 And I had been giving her the bottle
而奶子給卡爾吃 and I was giving Carl the tit tie
因為我乳房的奶都沒了 because my milk hadn't dried up in my breasts
不過不是因為她 是因為卡爾 but not from her, but because Carl was...
因為卡爾喝我的奶 Because Carl was sucking on them
所以我的奶水就不夠了 and that's what kept my milk in my breasts.
而我以為這都是為了衛生 And I thought that that was for hygiene.
我做的都是我媽媽教給我的... I did what my mother told me
做了對我孩子該做的 這就是我做的 that I was supposed to do with my child, so that's what I did.
而你就那麼坐在那裡 想來審判我 And you're sitting up there and you're trying to judge me...
我不是想審判你 但是如果你想申請補助的話 I'm not judging you, but you're asking me for money
你想和你的孫子重聚的話 and you're asking me to be reunited with your grandson.
但是 懷斯小姐 我不想讓你用那種眼神看著我 But, Ms. Weiss, I don't like you looking at me like that.
你使喚這個婊子看著我... 好像看著什麼操他媽的怪物 You got this bitch looking at me like I'm some kind of fucking monster.
在我的辦公室不允許這麼說話 好麼? We don't talk like this in my office, okay?
我不想他和她做愛 很噁心 I didn't want her sucking behind him, because that was nasty.
而事情就是那麼... 事情就是很骯髒 懷斯小姐 And things that he was... it was just nasty, Ms. Weiss.
我...我... I... I...
我有男人 我有孩子 I had a man, and I have a child
我兩個都要照顧 是吧? and I had to take care of both of them. Okay?
難道我想卡爾... 動我的孩子? Did I want Carl to touch my baby?
當孩子躺在我身邊時 Because I would lay my baby.
就躺在我身邊的枕頭上 I would lay her on the side of me, on this pillow
是個... 那是個粉紅的小枕頭 and it was pink
白色的花邊 還寫著她的名字 and it had this little white writing on it
就是阿珍 and it had her name, because she was precious.
我讓我的寶貝睡這個枕頭 And I would lay my baby on that pillow
而卡爾躺在床的另一邊 and Carl would be laying on the other side
然後 我們開始...開始 做的時候 and then we would... We would start doing it
他摸了過來 and he reached over
他動了我的寶寶 and he touched my baby.
然後我質問他 And I asked him,
我說 卡爾 你幹什麼呢? I said, "Carl, what are you doing?"
他跟我說 And he told me to shut...
閉上你的臭嘴 這是為了她好 To shut my fat ass up, and it was good for her.
- 那你接下來怎麼做了呢? - 我閉上了我的臭嘴啊 - And what did you do then? - I shut my fat ass up.
我不想你坐在那裡審判我 懷斯小姐 And I don't want you to sit there and judge me, Ms. Weiss.
你閉了嘴 你就讓他虐待你的女兒 You shut up and you let him abuse your daughter?
我不想他虐待我的女兒 I did not want him to abuse my daughter.
- 我不想他虐待我的女兒 - 但是你允許了 - I did not want him to hurt her. - But you allowed him
- 讓他那樣做 - 我不想讓他對她做任何事 我想他和我做愛 - to hurt her. - I did not want him to do nothing to her. I wanted him to make love to me.
那是我的男人 那是我的男人 That was my man. That was my fucking man.
他是我的男人 但他想要我的女兒 That was my man and he wanted my daughter.
這就是我之所以恨她 And that's why I hated her.
因為我的男人應該愛我 Because my man, who was supposed to be loving me,
應該和我做愛 who was supposed to be making love to me,
卻和我的孩子做愛 而她導致他離開 was fucking my baby.
是她導致他不回家 She made him leave. She made him go away.
那到底是誰的錯呢? So, whose fault was it, then?
那是這個賤人的錯! 因為她讓我的男人佔有她 it's this bitch's fault because she let my man have her
但她啥也沒有做! 她沒有尖叫 她什麼也沒有做! and she didn't say nothing. She didn't scream. She didn't do nothing.
那麼 她給你說的那麼多我怎麼對待她 So, those things she told you I did to her,
那誰...誰 來愛我呢? who else was gonna love me?
你以為你有學歷 你他媽的就什麼東西都懂? Since you got your degree and you know every fucking thing?
誰又來愛我? 誰來讓我覺得好受? who was gonna love me, who was gonna make me feel good?
誰又能撫摸我 讓我快樂 當夜晚到來的時候? Who was gonna touch me and make me feel good late at night?
她使得他一去不回 And she made him go away,
所以 當你坐在那裡 在你的筆記本上寫下這紀錄時 so... When you sit there and you write them fucking notes on your pad
寫你覺得我怎麼樣 我都做過什麼 這一切 about who you think I am, and why I did it, all of that.
因為我也一無所有 Because I didn't have nobody.
那些人... 來自... The people from
一對一教學的那些 Each One Teach One,
他們曾... 他們告訴我... they had... They called me
他們告訴我我的孩子在寫詩 and they told me that my baby was writing poems.
事實上...知道麼? 我拿來了... in fact, you know what, I got...
等一下... Wait a minute.
對不起 對不起 I'm sorry.
懷斯小姐 我不想要支票 I'm sorry. And, Ms. Weiss, I don't want no checks.
我不想要錢 拜託了 我很抱歉 I don't need no more money. Please. I'm so sorry.
我又做了一次那個測試 I took that TABE test again.
怎麼樣? And what happened?
我得了7.8分 I scored a 7.8.
上一次是2.8分 Last time it was 2.8.
按照那個測試 According to that test,
我讀書是7- 8年級的水準了 I'm reading at a seventh and eighth- grade level.
接下來我要讀高中 再接下來讀大學 Next year, high school. After that, college.
但我也喜歡你 Well, I like you, too.
但你不能解決我的事 But you can't handle me.
這些都不是你的能力範圍 You can't handle none of this.
知道麼 直到今天我才知道你的過去 You know, I never knew what you was until this day.
在你做的那一切之後 Not even after all them things you did.
或許是我太傻 也許是我就是不想要 Maybe I was too stupid, or maybe I just didn't want to.
你再也別想見到我了 You ain't gonna see me no more.
再見 Bye!
我不想他傷害我的孩子 I didn't want him to hurt my baby.
拜託 天啊 我從來沒想傷害我的孩子 Please, God, I didn't want him to hurt my baby.
懷斯小姐 我不想他傷害我的孩子 Ms. Weiss, I didn't want him to hurt my baby.
我跟他說了 I would say to him, I would say...
我說 卡爾 你在幹什麼? 你在幹什麼 你在幹什麼? "Carl, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?"
你能讓她回來麼? Can you go get her back?
你能做到的 因為這是你的工作 You can do that, because that's what you do.
這是你的工作 That's what you do.
我需要你去 把我的孩子帶回來 I need you to go and I need you to get my baby back.
你告訴我 我可以來這裡 你...可以... You told me that I could come in here and you could get...
讓阿珍和我談 You could get Precious to say...
懷斯小姐 懷斯小姐 Ms. Weiss? Ms. Weiss? Ms. Weiss?
