纽约城，1941年
我跟它彻底再见了 这四堵臭墙，六层高楼 I'm kissing it all goodbye.These four stinking walls, six flights up.
还有凌晨3点呼啸而过的高架列车，如同一股强劲的风 The el that roars by at 3am, like a cast-iron wind.
替我向它们吻别吧，莫瑞，我会想念它们， Kiss 'em goodbye for me, Maury,I'll miss 'em.
-我真的会。-又在做梦了。 - Like hell I will. - Dreaming again.
再也不了，莉尔，我已经醒来，这些年第一次醒来 Not anymore, Lil. I'm awake now,awake for the first time in years.
大卫叔叔说过， Uncle Dave said it.
如果你闭上眼 白日就是梦 Daylight is a dream if you've lived,with your eyes closed.
好吧，现在我的眼睛睁开了， Well, my eyes are open now.
我看见了唱诗班，我知道他们衣衫褴褛 I see the choir,and I know they're dressed in rags
但我们也是其中之一，是的，我们都是 but we're part of that choir, yeah, both of us.
-还有你，莫瑞，大卫叔叔也是。 -太阳升起来了，孩子。 - And you, Maury, and Uncle Dave,too. - The sun's coming up, kid.
他们会沿富尔顿街吆喝卖鱼。 They'll be hawking the fish,down on Fulton Street.
让他们吆喝吧，让他们唱出心声， Let 'em hawk.Let 'em sing their hearts out.
没错，孩子。唱诗班已经毁了，但我们要让它重新歌唱。 That's it, kid.Take that ruined choir. Make it sing.
再见，莫瑞。再见。 So long, Maury.So long.
我们会收到那孩子的来信。我说的可不是明信片。 We'll hear from that kid. And I don't mean a postcard.
卖鱼啦！新鲜的鱼！ Fish! Fresh fish!
大家准备一下，开始干活吧。 已经晚了，莫瑞。 Let's spit on our hands and get to work. It's late, Maury.
不会再晚了，莉尔。现在还早。 Not anymore, Lil. It's early.
好！ Bravo!
太好了！ Bravo!
棒极了！ Bravo!
作者！作者！ Author! Author!
您那桌已经准备好了，芬克先生。 Your table is ready, Monsieur Fink.
其实你们团队中有些人已经到了。 In fact, several members of your party have already arrived.
-加兰·斯坦福在吗？ -他晚几分钟到。这边请。 - Is Garland Stanford here? - He'll be a few minutes late. Here we are.
恭喜，恭喜，这次大获成功啊。 Barton, Barton, so glad you could make it.
介绍下，这是理查德·圣·克莱尔和波比·嘉娜汉 You know Richard St. Claire, and Poppy Carnahan.
不胜荣幸，不胜荣幸啊。 Charmed, charmed, charmed.
为此我们特地准备了香槟呢。看过先驱报吗？ We're drinking champagne in honor of the occasion. Have you seen the Herald?
-还没。 -我不想让你尴尬， - Not yet. - I don't want to embarrass you
凯文兴奋得溢于言表。 but Caven could hardly contain himself.
不过，更重要的是， 我们的理查德和波比喜欢这个戏。 But, more important, Richard and Poppy here loved the play.
催人泪下，我简直泪如泉涌。 先驱报怎么说？ Weeping. Copious tears. What did the Herald say?
-我刚好带了。 -读一下吧，德里克。 - I happened to have it with me. - Please, Derek.
“毁弃的唱诗台（见莎士比亚十四行诗 73） ——平民百姓的胜利。 "Bare Ruined Choirs - Triumph Of The Common Man.
“昨晚巴拉斯科舞台上难觅明星的踪迹， "The star was nowhere to be seen on the stage of the Belasco last night,
“尽管演员的表现都可圈可点， "though the thespians all acquitted themselves admirably.
"但整晚的亮点却在本剧的作者。 他在剧中展现了平民百姓—— "The evening's find was the author of this drama about simple folk -
"该剧是关于普通渔民的" "fishmongers, in fact -
"艰苦的生活并不能压制他们 去追求更高的目标" "whose brute struggle to exist cannot quell their longing for something higher.
"作者在贫穷的角落找到高贵，在粗话中找到诗意" "The playwright finds nobility in squalid corners and poetry in callous speech.
"一个坚韧而全新的声音 从此出现在美国戏剧界。 "A tough new voice in the American theater has arrived
"这个声音就来自于巴顿 · 芬克" "and the owner of that voice is named Barton Fink. "
他们明天就会用这报纸来包鱼 所以不完全是浪费 They'll wrap fish in it tomorrow, so it's not a total waste.
-真讽刺 -这些评论我一句也听不进， - Cynic. - I can't start listening to the critics
我不能拿自 己的作品开玩笑 and I can't kid myself about my own work.
作者根据他的感觉去写， A writer writes from his gut.
他的直觉告诉他哪些是好的， 哪些只是……差强人意。 His gut tells him what's good and what's... merely adequate.
我不想装成评论家， I don't pretend to be a critic
但上帝知道我直觉敏锐， but Lord knows I have a gut
而我的直觉告诉我，这部戏实在是……美妙绝伦。 and my gut tells me it's simply... marvelous.
多迷人的直觉啊！ And a charming gut it is.
噢，你这老骗子。 Oh, you dog.
噢，得了得了。 Oh, stop.
我以为你会一起来， I thought you were going to join us.
呼叫。。。巴顿 · 芬克
我以为你会加入我们
天那，你就把我丢给那些人？ Jesus, you left me alone with those people?
别慌，马上就来。 Don't panic. I'll join you in a minute.
我们要谈点正事 We have to talk a little business.
我刚和洛杉矶那边通过电话， I've just been on the phone to Los Angeles.
巴顿，神殿电影公司想跟你签约。 Barton, Capitol Pictures wants to put you under contract.
他们开价每周一千美元，我觉得能谈到两千。 They've offered you $1,000 a week. I think I can get them up to two.
-叫我干啥？ -你靠什么吃饭？ - To do what? - What do you do for a living?
现在我也不清楚了。我只是想有所改变。 I'm not sure anymore. I guess I try to make a difference.
别感到有压力，我尊重你的决定。 There's no pressure because I respect you.
但只要在好莱坞干一阵子， But a brief tenure in Hollywood
赚的钱随便你写多少戏剧都行。 could support you through the writing of any number of plays.
我不知道，加兰。 现在，我的位置在这儿。 I don't know, Garland. My place is here right now.
我……我能感到自己就在成功的边缘。 I... I feel I'm on the brink of success.
你已经小有成就 You're already enjoying some.
难道你不明白？无论是被评论家追捧， Don't you see? Not the kind of success where the critics fawn over you
还是像制片商德雷克那样大赚一笔， 都不是我想要的成功。 or the producers like Derek make a lot of money.
不，而是一种真正的成功。 No, a real success.
我们梦寐以求的成功。 The success we've been dreaming about.
创造出一种全新的、活生生的戏剧， The creation of a new, living theater -
属于平民，关于平民，为了平民（林肯的名言） of and about and for the common man.
如果现在逃到好莱坞去， If I ran off to Hollywood now,
我也许能赚钱，参加聚会， 结交大人物， I'd be making money, going to parties, meeting big shots
却会让自己远离成功之源， but I'd be cutting myself off from the wellspring of that success,
远离平民百姓。 from the common man.
-我又说多了 -你有没有看过凯文的评论？ - I'm spouting off again. - Have you seen Caven's review?
-没有，他说什么？ -我这儿有一份，你拿去看看吧。 - No, what did it say? - Here, take my copy.
你是百老汇的新宠。 You're the toast of Broadway
你可以为此换一笔小钱， 不，是一大笔钱。 and you can redeem that for a little cash - strike that, a lot of cash.
等你回来，平民百姓还在。 The common man'll still be here when you get back.
谁知道呢？ 好莱坞那儿可能也有几个 Who knows? They may even have one or two of them out in Hollywood.
加兰，你真能算计 That's a rationalization, Garland.
巴顿，我只是在说笑。 Barton, it was a joke.
欢迎光临厄尔旅馆 有什么能帮您的吗？ Welcome to the Hotel Earle. May I help you?
我来办理登记——巴顿·芬克 I'm checking in - Barton Fink.
好的 All righty.
好 OK.
That's F-I-N-K? F-I-N-K?
巴顿·芬克。应该是您吧，嗯？ Fink, Barton. That must be you, huh?
应该是。 Must be.
好的，一切都很顺利， OK, then, everything seems to be in order.
一切都很顺利，嗯，这儿…… Everything seems to be in order. Just...
-您办短期还是长期? -什么？ - Are you a trans or a res? - Excuse me?
您暂住还是长住？ Transient or resident?
我，呃……我不知道， 我是说，不知道要住多久 I- I-I don't know. I mean, I'll be here indefinitely.
那就是常住咯，25.50美金一周， 请预先支付。 Res. That'll be 25.50 a week, payable in advance.
退房时间是12点，不过既然您长住就不用管它了。 Checkout is 12 but forget that on account of you're a res.
如果您有什么需要，打内线找我，我叫查特 If you need anything, pick up your in-room telephone. My name is Chet.
我们为房客保全隐私 但提供全面的服务 We provide privacy for residents but are a full-service hotel,
包括免费的擦鞋服务。 我叫查特。 including complimentary shoeshine - my name is Chet.
好的。 OK.
您的行李就这些？ Those your only bags?
其它的还在路上。 The others are being sent.
欢迎您来洛杉矶，芬克先生。 Welcome to Los Angeles, Mr. Fink.
六楼，谢谢。 Six, please.
下一层，六楼。 Next stop... six.
电梯
本层，六楼。 This stop, six.
EARLE旅店 纽约东区 建于1909
EARLE旅店 “一天或一辈子”
是他吗？ 这就是巴顿 · 芬克吧？ Is that him? Is that Barton Fink?
让我伸出双臂拥抱这个伙计 Let me at him. Let me put my arms around this guy.
让我来拥抱他，你好吗？ Let me hug this guy. How the hell are you?
旅途顺利吗？我叫杰克·里普尼 我经营这破地方。你看过协议肯定知道。 Good trip? My name is Jack Lipnick. I run this dump. You know cuase you read the papers.
卢把需要的东西都给你了吗？ Lou got you everything you need?
你的脸怎么啦？ 他的脸倒是怎么啦，卢？ What 's the matter with your face？ What the hell's the matter with his face, lou?
没看上去那么糟吧， 房间里有个蚊子罢了。 It's not as bad as it looks. Just a mosquito in my room.
-住得惯吗？我们把他安排在哪儿？ -我住Earle旅馆。 - Place OK? Where'd we put him? - I'm at the Earle.
没听说过。把他转到格兰德或威尔希尔…… 或者我家！ Never heard of that. Move him to the Grand or the Wilshire... or my place!
-谢谢，但我想要一个不那么…… -不那么好莱坞的地方 - Thanks. But I wanted somewhere less... - Less Hollywood.
当然。尽管说，又不是脏话。 Sure. Say it. It's not a dirty word.
想到什么说什么好了。 在神殿影片公司，作家就是国王。 Say what you want. The writer is king at Capitol Pictures.
不相信？看看你每周的薪水支票。 这就是我们眼中作家的价值。 You don't believe in me? Look at your paycheck every week. That's what we think of the writer.
那么他喜欢哪种电影呢？ So what kind of pictures does he like?
芬克先生没提到有什么偏好，里普尼先生。 Mr. Fink hasn't given a preference, Mr. Lipnick.
你怎么想呢，小巴？ So how about it, Bart?
恩，老实说，我不怎么看电影。 Well, to be honest, I don't go to the pictures much.
没关系，这挺好。 That's OK. That's just fine.
你以为这是个障碍吗？ You thought that was a handicap,
你以为我们需要精通媒体的人？ that we wanted people who knew about the medium,
可能要学各种各样的技术术语， maybe that there's all kinds of technical mumbo jumbo to learn.
错，我们只对一件事感兴趣： Wrong. We're only interested in one thing.
你会讲故事吗，小巴？ 你能不能让我们开怀大笑，痛哭流涕？ Can you tell a story, Bart, make us laugh, make us cry?
或者，让我们想放声大唱，高歌一曲？ 不止一件事了是吧？好 Can you make us want to break out in joyous song? Is that more than one thing? OK.
问题是，这破公司是我开的， 我不懂什么术语 The point is I run this dump and I don't know the mumbo jumbo.
为什么我能开？因为我直觉敏锐， 他妈的，我会作秀！ Why do I run it? Cos I got horse sense, goddamnit. Showmanship!
而且，我想卢已经告诉过你了 ——我比城里任何犹太人 And also - I hope Lou told you this - I am bigger, meaner and louder
都更大，更卑鄙，更招摇。 than any other kike in this town.
我不是说我的老二更大， 这和性事无关。要咖啡吗？ I don't mean my dick is bigger, it's not a sexual thing. Coffee?
-好的，谢谢。 -卢！ - Yes, thank you. - Lou!
以前他在公司有股份， 20年代卖掉了， Used to have shares in the company. Got bought out in the '20s.
后来被赶出公司，被某些人，被我。 Muscled out, according to some. According to me.
我们还是让他跟着干，他要养家。 算了还是不提过去了。 So we keep him around. He's got a family. But don't mention the old days.
嗨，你想要什么就直说吧。你看，小巴， Hell, say whatever you want. Look, Bart.
我们想让你写部摔跤片 华勒斯·比利主演 We're gonna put you on a wrestling picture. Wallace Beery.
我提这个是因为他们告诉我你懂平民艺术， I say this because they tell me you know the poetry of the streets.
这样就排除了西部片，海盗片，荒诞喜剧，圣经，罗马历史…… so that rules out Westerns, pirates, screwball, Bible, Roman...
要知道，我觉得诗歌不需要搞笑。 Look. I don't think poetic has gotta be fruity.
我们观点一致不是吗？ 我也从纽约来的， We're together on that, aren't we? I'm from New York myself.
我的老家在明斯克（白俄首都），如果你要追根溯源的话 Minsk, if you wanna go all the way back.
我们不想问你的老家 Which we won't and I ain't asking.
人家也许会说“华莱士·比利，摔跤片，准是B级片” People will say, "Wallace Beery, wrestling, it's a B-picture. "
你要告诉他们：“一派胡言”。 You tell them, "Bullshit!"
我们神殿影片从来不拍B级片 We do not make B-pictures here at Capitol.
我们要终止这种谣言， Let's put a stop to that rumor...
……现在就要。 ...right now.
谢谢，卢，过来吧，一起来吧。 Thanks, Lou. Join us. Join us.
-我们在谈比利的那部片子。 -很棒的片子。 - We're talking about the Beery picture. - Excellent picture.
-我们有剧情提纲了吗？ -还没有 - We got a treatment on it yet? - Not yet.
-我们刚买下，周六晚报 -别管那个故事了 - We just bought it. Saturday Evening Post. - To hell with the story.
如果你来写一个摔跤手，我想知道他的愿望，他的梦想。 What if you are writing a wrestler, I wanna know his hopes, his dreams.
当然，他得有点坏坏的气质， Natually, he'll have to get mixed up with a bad element.
有点浪漫色彩，你知道这一套 或者一个少年，一个孤儿 And a romantic interest, you know the drill. A romantic interest or else a young kid, an orphan.
你觉得怎么样，卢？ 瓦利拍感情戏是不是太老了？ What do you think, Lou? Wally a little too old for a romantic interest?
你看我 Look at me.
屋里明明有个作家， 我还要问卢故事该怎么写？ A writer in the room and I'm asking Lou what the story should be.
你觉得哪个点子好，小巴，孤儿还是女人？ Which is it, Bart? Orphan? Dame?
都要吧，也许？ Both, maybe?
也许我们该好好讨论一下。 Maybe we should do a treatment.
该死，让小巴试一下 Hell. Let Bart take a crack at it.
他很快就能上手的，要么就是我不了解作家。 He'll get into the swing or I don't know writers.
用女人吧 我们不用拯救全世界 Let's make it a dame and keep it simple. We don't gotta tackle the world the first time.
重要的是，要有巴顿·芬克的感觉。 The important thing is it should have that Barton Fink feeling.
我们都有巴顿·芬克的感觉 We all have that Barton Fink feeling
可是既然你是巴特 · 芬克 你肯定有更多 but since you're Barton Fink, you must have it in .
说真的，小巴， 我喜欢你，我们会有个好的开始。 Seriously, Bart, I like you. We're off to a good start.
如果我所有的作家都像你一样， 我就不会这么操心了。 If all my writers were like you, I wouldn't get so involved.
我希望周末能看到点东西。 I'd like to see something by the end of the week.
还有，我听说过你的戏 I heard about your show, by the way.
我们在纽约的人告诉我，影响很大，很感人。 My man in New York tells me it's pretty powerful, moving.
听他说挺搞笑的， 但我想你知道自己在做什么。 A little fruity, he said, but I guess you know what you're doing.
谢谢你的诚意。 我们需要在电影里投入更多真情实意。 Thanks for your heart. We need more heart in motion pictures.
我们都在期盼你的杰作 We're all expecting great things.
淡入，一个曼哈顿东区公寓楼
清晨可以听到车声
-“前台，请讲。” -你好，嗯……查特吗？ - 'Front desk. ' - Hello, er... Chet?
-“我就是” -我是621房间的巴顿·芬克 - 'Speaking. ' - This is Barton Fink in room 621.
是的，有人…… Yes, there's...
有人在我隔壁，623 there's someone in the room next door to mine, 623,
他在，呃…… and he's, er...
他在，呃…… He's, er...
不停地发出……噪音 making a lot of... noise.
“我会处理的，先生。” 'I'll take care of it right away, sir. '
谢谢。 Thank you.
喂， Hello.
什么？ What?
嗯？ Huh?
谁？ Who?
你有没有…… Did you...
-刚才有人投诉我。 -没，我没有。 - Somebody just complained. - No, I didn't.
我是说，我是打过电话， 但不是投诉。 I mean, I did call down. Not to complain exactly.
我只是担心，你也许…… I was just concerned that you might...
虽然不关我的事， not that it's my business,
但也许，你……心情不好。 but that you might be in some kind of... distress.
你看，我正要工作，但是， See, I was trying to work and it's,
嗯，但是很难……继续。 well, it was... difficult.
是啊…… Yeah...
该死，抱歉打扰你了。 这该死的墙，实在不好意思。 I'm damn sorry if I bothered you. The damn walls. I just apologize like hell.
我叫查理·迈兜， 我想我们是邻居吧。 My name's Charlie Meadows. I guess we're neighbors.
巴顿·芬克。 Barton Fink.
兄弟，我请你喝一杯吧， Neighbor, I'd feel better about the damned inconvenience
这样我会好受些。 if you let me buy you a drink.
-没事，真的。谢谢你。 -好的，见鬼。 - That's all right, really. Thank you. - All right, hell.
你要干活，我却在那里吵个不停。 You trying to work, me carrying on in there.
看，这酒不错，你觉得呢？ Look, the liquor's good. What do you say?
有杯子吗？至少让我请你喝一杯。 You got a glass? It's the least I can do.
好。 OK.
匆匆喝一口没问题。 A quick one. Sure.
对，就抿一口。 Yeah, just a nip.
我有时候肯定有点旁若无人， I sure do forget myself sometimes.
简直太过分了， 在隔壁吵个不停。 I feel like a heel, all the carryings-on next door.
没关系的，我可以保证。 我只是想开始干活儿。 That's OK, I assure you. It's just I was trying to work.
你是做什么的，巴顿， 如果你不介意的话？ What kind of work do you do, Barton, if you don't mind my asking?
-嗯，其实我是个作家。 -你别说， - Well, I'm a writer, actually. - You don't say.
这可不是个容易行当， 我对干这行的都非常敬重。 That's a tough racket. My hat's off to anyone who does it.
-这活儿有趣极了。 -可能吧，是不太容易，不过…… - Damned interesting work. - Can be. It's not easy but...
太他妈难了，我想想也难。 Damned difficult, I'd imagine.
-你做哪一行呢，迈兜先生？ -见鬼，别，叫我查理。 - And what's your line, Mr. Meadows? - Hell, no, call me Charlie.
你可以说我兜售安宁 Well, Barton, you might say I sell peace of mind.
我卖保险，挨家挨户 这仍然是做生意唯一的方法 Insurance is my game. Door to door. Still the only way to move the merchandise.
不管你怎么想，我就擅长这个。 In spite of what you might think, I'm good at it.
-我一点也不惊讶。 -我很相信保险 - It doesn't surprise me. - Oh, yes. Because I believe in it.
火灾、偷盗和受伤 不仅仅发生在别人身上 Fire, theft and casualty are not things that only happen to other people.
万一写作这行干不下去了，你来干这行 Writing doesn't work out. You may want to look into it.
能提供人的基本需要， 有些事儿年轻人可能会搞砸。 Providing for a basic human need - a fella could do worse.
谢谢，我会留意的。 Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
你是哪种写手呢？ What kind of scribbler are you?
你刚才说新闻记者？ Newspaperman, did you say?
不，其实，我目前在写电影剧本。 No. Actually, I'm writing for the pictures now.
电影？天哪！ Pictures? Jesus!
噢，抱歉，兄弟。 Oh, I'm sorry, brother.
我还以为在和一心往上爬的新手说话呢， I was just thinking I was talking to some ambitious youngster eager to make good.
你早就成功了，都在写电影剧本了！ 还扫平了一堆竞争者。 You've got it made. Writing for the pictures! Beating out that competition.
我还神气活现的， And me being patronizing?
这家伙是在表现还是什么？ Is the egg showing or what?
没关系，我在电影圈才刚起步。 That's OK, I am just starting out in the movies,
虽然在纽约颇有地位， though I was pretty well established in New York.
-算是小有名气吧 -太棒了。 - Some renown there. - It's an exciting time, then.
我没读过什么书， I'm not the best-read mug on the planet
所以不知道你的名字也很正常。 so it's not surprising I didn't recognize your name.
天哪，我觉得自己太渺小了。 Jesus, I feel like a heel.
这没什么，查理。 That's OK, Charlie.
我是个剧作家， 我的戏只在纽约上演过。 I'm a playwright. My shows have only played New York.
最近这部得到评论界一片喝彩， 所以他们让我到这儿来。 The last one got a hell of a write-up so they wanted me here.
见鬼，为什么不呢，每个人都想要好的。 Hell, why not? Everyone wants quality.
你写哪种立场…… What kind of venue...
怎么讲呢，从主题上说…… That is to say, thematically...
呃…… Erm...
我写什么内容？ What do I write about?
我想卖弄下反而被你取笑了吧，就是这个意思。 Caught me trying to be fancy. That's it.
嗯，问得好。 Well, that's a good question.
听起来可能有点奇怪， 我就写像你这样的人。 Strange as it may seem, I guess I write about people like you.
普通劳动阶层， 平民百姓。 The average working stiff, the common man.
-真是不可思议。 -我想是的， - Well, ain't that a kick in the head. - I guess it is.
但某种程度上说，的确就是这样。 But in a way, that's exactly the point.
在纽约有一小部分人—— 可能人数还在增长—— There's a few people in New York - hopefully our numbers are growing -
感觉到我们现在有机会 who feel we have an opportunity now
从日常生活中提炼出一些真实的东西。 to forge something real out of everyday experience.
为大众创造出一种基于简单事实的戏剧， Create a theater for the masses based on a few simple truths,
而不是从过时戏剧中提炼出的陈芝麻烂谷子， 如果它们曾经有生命力的话。 not on shopworn abstractions about drama that don't hold true today, if they ever did.
-这对你也许意义不大。 -我可以给你讲些故事。 - This can't mean much to you. - I could tell you some stories.
这就是关键——我们都有故事。 And that's the point. That we all have stories.
平民百姓的希望和梦想跟国王的一样高贵 The hopes and dreams of the common man are as noble as those of any king.
这是生活的素材， 为什么就不能成为戏剧的素材呢？ It's the stuff of life, why not the stuff of theater?
该死的，它为什么就这样难以下咽？ Goddamnit, why should that be such a hard pill to swallow?
别叫它新戏剧，查理， 叫它真实的戏剧， Don't call it new theater, Charlie, call it real theater.
叫它我们的戏剧。 Call it our theater.
看得出来，讲到这些你就激动。 I can see you feel pretty strongly about it.
嗯，我不是要摆架子， Well, I don't mean to get up on my high horse.
可是我们为什么 不能高看我们自 己？ But why shouldn't we look at ourselves up there?
谁在乎巴斯特鲁伯爵五世和西京伯顿夫人？ Who cares about the 5th Earl of Bastrop and Lady Higginbottom
还有谁杀了奈杰尔·格林奇-吉彭？ and who killed Nigel Grinch-Gibbons?
-我听着都头疼。 -没错。 - I can feel my butt getting sore already. - Exactly.
你比那些文人更懂我的意思 You understand what I'm saying more than these literary types
-因为你是个真实的人。 -我可以给你讲些故事…… - because you're a real man. - I could tell you some stories...
当然，很多作家千方百计 Sure you could, and yet many writers do everything in their power
远离普通人，远离他们赖以生存、谋生， to insulate themselves from the common man, from where they live and trade,
他们斗争、热爱和息息相关的生活，而且…… from where they fight and love and converse and...
所以自然，他们逐渐江郎才尽， 作品倒退为空洞的形式主义。 So naturally, their work suffers and regresses into empty formalism.
我又在滔滔不绝了。 但用你的话来说， I'm spouting off again but to put it in your language,
戏院成了和三元伪钞一样的东西。 the theater becomes as phony as a three-dollar bill.
真是悲剧啊。 That's a tragedy right there.
没错，查理。 You're all right, Charlie.
很高兴你来串门，抱歉…… 我有时候一开口就停不下来。 I'm glad you stopped by. I'm sorry if... I know sometimes I run on.
哦，天哪，如果有什么地方我可以效劳或者帮忙的…… Well, Christ. If there's any way I can contribute or help or whatever...
当然，你只要做你自己就行。 Sure, you can help by just being yourself.
好的，我可以给你讲些故事 Well, I can tell you some stories.
你看，刚才打扰你实在不好意思。 And look, I'm sorry as hell about the interruption.
晚上狂欢过度，忘了还有其它人了。 Too much revelry late at night, you forget there's other people in the world.
淡入，曼哈顿东下区一栋公寓楼
清晨可以听到车声 还有鱼贩的喊叫声
根据你12日的来信
我今天在外景地吃饭。 I'll be eating on the lot today.
-这是谁？ -巴顿·芬克，季斯勒先生。 - Who's this? - Barton Fink, Mr. Geesler.
-是盖斯勒，详细点。 -我是个作家，盖斯勒先生。 泰德·欧克姆让我早上来拜访你…… - Geisler. More, please. - I'm a writer, Mr. Geisler. Ted Okum said I should drop by this morning...
-演过戏吗？ -没有，我是个…… - Ever act? - No, I'm a...
-斯蒂尔的西部片需要印第安人。 -我是个作家。 - Need Indians for a Steele western. - I'm a writer.
你看，作家来来往往， 我们始终需要印第安人。 Think. Writers come and go. We always need Indians.
我是个作家。 泰德·欧克姆说你是这部比利电影的制片。 I'm a writer. Ted Okum said you're producing this Beery picture.
泰德·欧克姆懂个屁， 我今年片子够多了。 Ted Okum doesn't know shit. I've got enough pictures for a year.
泰德·欧克姆不知道连你都能挤进好莱坞露天剧场。 Ted Okum doesn't know you could almost squeeze into the Hollywood Bowl.
那我该找谁呢？ Then who should I talk to?
帮我接卢·布里兹。 Get me Lou Breeze.
-他在吗，季斯勒先生找？ -是盖斯勒。 - Is he in for Mr. Geesler? - Geisler.
卢，里普尼的屁股 今早臭不臭？ Lou, how's Lipnick's ass smell this morning?
嗯？嗯？ Yeah? Yeah?
我找你什么事？我这里有个作家，芬克，怪模怪样的。 The reason I'm calling, I got a writer here. Fink. All screwy.
说我在拍那部比利的摔跤片。我成什么人了，看门的？ Says I'm producing that Beery wrestling picture. What am I, the goddamn janitor?
嗯？你听谁说的？ Yeah? Who'd you get that from?
告诉里普尼，他可以亲我微笑的小菊花。 Tell Lipnick he can kiss my dimpled ass.
不不，好！靠。好的，不，好的。 No no, all right! Shit. All right. No, all right.
好吧，芬克，我们去搓一顿。 OK, Fink, let's chow.
别担心了，就是个B级片。 Don't worry about it. It's just a B-picture.
我把它拉进预算，他们都没审查过， 人生短暂啊。 I bring it in on budget, they don't screen it. Life is too short.
里普尼说周末他要看到点东西。 Lipnick said he wanted to see something by the end of the week.
当然，那天你屁股还没离开沙发他就忘了。 Sure he did. He forgot about it before your ass left his sofa.
哦。 OK.
我就是觉得开个头很难。 I'm just having trouble getting started.
很奇怪，思维好像卡住了。 It's funny, I'm blocked up.
我想我需要些指点，到底有什么要求呢？ I just feel like I need some indication of what's expected.
华莱士·比利，摔跤片， 你还要什么指南？ Wallace Beery, wrestling picture, you need a road map?
看，你很困惑，你需要指导？ Look, you're confused. You need guidance?
-找个作家谈谈吧。 -找谁呢？ - Talk to another writer. - Who?
天哪，在这里扔块石头都能砸到一个。 Oh, Jesus. You throw a rock in here, you'll hit one.
帮个忙，芬克， Do me a favor, Fink?
石头给我使劲扔。 Throw it hard.
比尔·梅耶，刚才散发气味很抱歉。 Bill Mayhew. Sorry about the odor.
巴顿·芬克。 Barton Fink.
天哪，W.P? Jesus, W. P?
-您说什么？ -作家W.P梅耶？ - I beg your pardon? - W.P. Mayhew, the writer?
请叫我比尔好了。 Just Bill, please.
比尔， Bill,
你是当代最好的小说家。 you're the finest novelist of our time.
喔，谢谢你，孩子，你真好。 Why, thank you, son. How kind.
我的上帝啊，没想到你也在好莱坞。 My God, I had no idea you were in Hollywood.
我们这些未经驯服的作家 All of us undomesticated writers
最后都要跋涉到这块大盐地， eventually make our way out here to the Great Salt Lick.
这就是为何我总是渴得厉害。 That's probably why I always have such a powerful thirst.
来点社交润滑剂吗，芬克先生？ A little social lubricant, Mr. Fink?
不，现在喝酒对我来说太早了。 No, it's a little early for me.
比尔，如果我让你为难，你可以直说， 我知道你很忙。 Bill, if I'm imposing, you should say so, I know you're very busy.
我只想请你……你帮一个忙。 I just wanted to ask y-you a favor.
你写过摔跤片吗？ Have you ever written a wrestling picture?
你的手在滴水，先生。 You are drippin', sir.
他们还没发明出哪种电影风格 They have not invented a genre of picture
连比尔·梅耶都没写过。 that Bill Mayhew has not at one time or other been invited to essay.
-好的，那么…… -是的，我曾经尝试过摔跤类型的片子， - Well, what... - Yes, I have taken my stab at the wrestlin' form,
正如我尝试过其它风格。 as I have stabbed at others
-而且都同样不成功。 -怎么会？ - and with as little success. - How do?
我猜你还是个新人，渴望得到高年级学生的忠告。 I gather you are a freshman, eager for an upperclassman's counsel.
不过现在，我得去喝酒了。 However, at the moment, I have drinking to do.
今天下午请到我的小屋一坐，15号房， Stop by my bungalow, number 15, later on this afternoon
我们可以讨论摔跤片剧本 和其它文学问题。 and we will discuss wrestling scenarios and other things literary.
狗娘养的！ Sons of bitches!

我快被水吞没了，宝贝儿！ The water's lapping up on me, Honey!
作家：梅耶 影片：奴隶船
不行，我已经在尽力帮你了。 I can't, I'm trying to help you.
有什么能帮您吗？ Can I help you?
- Why, dammit！ -抱歉，我…… -呃，他妈的！ - I'm sorry, I...

……在吗？ ...in?
-梅耶先生现在不太舒服。 -我的宝贝儿呢？ - Mr. Mayhew is indisposed at the moment. - Where's my honey?
他没事吧？ Is he OK?
他会没事的。 He'll be fine.
芬克先生，我叫奥黛丽·泰勒， 梅耶先生的私人秘书。 Mr. Fink, I'm Audrey Taylor, Mr. Mayhew's personal secretary.
-我的宝贝儿呢？ -我知道这一切看起来让人不寒而栗。 - Where's my honey? - I know this all must sound horrid.
-我真的很抱歉。 -你在哪儿，他妈的？ - I really do apologize. - Where are you, dammit?
他写不出的时候就喝酒。 When he can't write, he drinks.
真让人难堪。 It's so embarrassing.
你呢？你不会有事吧？ How about you? Will you be all right?
我没事。 I'll be fine.
-你是个作家吗，芬克先生？ -是的，我在写一部摔跤…… - Are you a writer, Mr. Fink? - Yes. I'm writing a wrestling...
请叫我巴顿。 Please, call me Barton.
我会告诉比尔你来拜访过。 I'll tell Bill you dropped by.
我想他肯定会跟你重约时间的。 I'm sure he'll wanna reschedule.
也许什么时候我们俩可以一起聊聊。 Perhaps you and I can get together at some point.
抱歉如果你觉得唐突的话，我只是…… I'm sorry if that sounds abrupt, I just...
我在这里什么人都不认识。 I don't know anyone here in town.
-也许我们三个一起更好，芬克先生。 -叫我巴顿吧。 - Perhaps the three of us, Mr. Fink. - Please, Barton.
巴顿。 Barton.
你知道，巴顿， You see, Barton,
我不仅是比尔的秘书， I'm not just Bill's secretary.
比尔和我是…… Bill and I are...
恋人。 in love.
我的宝贝儿呢？ Where's my honey?
我知道这看起来肯定很…… I know this must look...
……可笑。 ...funny.
-狗娘养的混蛋！ -对不起。 - Bastard-ass sons of bitches! - I'm sorry.
请不要评判我们，芬克先生。 Please, don't judge us, Mr. Fink.
狗娘养的混蛋， 水淹过来了！ Bastard-ass sons of bitches, the water's lapping up!
宝贝儿！ Honey!
-你好啊，邻居。 -查理，你好吗？ - Howdy, neighbor. - Charlie, how are you?
噢，天哪， 希望这次没再打扰你。 Ah, Jesus, I hope I'm not interrupting you again.
听到你在房里来回走动，觉得我得来看看。 Heard you walking around in here, figured I'd drop by.
是啊，进来吧。坐。 Yeah, come on in. Have a seat.
我还没真正进入状态呢。 I hadn't really gotten started yet.
-你耳朵怎么了？ -哦，一只耳朵感染了。 - What happened to your ear? - Yeah, an ear infection.
慢性病，时好时坏。 Chronic thing. It goes away for a while, then it comes back.
我塞了团棉花堵住浓液。 I put cotton in it to stanch the flow of pus.
-这病不传染的。 -看过医生了吗？ - It's not contagious. - Have you seen a doctor?
医生，他能说什么？ 又不能给我换个脑袋。 Doctors. What's he gonna tell me? Can't trade my head in for a new one.
是啊，你得接着用现在这个。 Yeah, I guess you're stuck with the one you got.
要不是我那儿乱得一团糟，还想请你过去坐坐呢。 I'd invite you over to my place but it's a goddamn mess.
-你结婚了吗，巴特？ -没有。 - You married, Bart? - No.
我也没被套牢呢。 I myself have yet to be lassoed.
嘿，巴特， Hey, Bart.
噢喔！ Ouch!
有情人吗？ Got a sweetheart?
没。 No.
我想可能是工作关系吧， 在工作上太投入， I guess it's something about my work. I get so worked-up over it.
其它就没多少精力关注了。 I don't really have a lot of attention left over,
所以，这有点不公平。 so it would be a little unfair.
是啊，女人总想引人注目。 Yeah, ladies do ask for attention.
她们假装注意你， They pretend to give it
但这只是烟幕，其实要让你反过来注意她。 but it's a smoke screen for demanding it back with interest.
你的家人呢？ 你们家几口人？ How about family? How're you fixed in that department?
-我父母和我叔叔一起住在布鲁克林。 -我的家人都过世了。 - My folks live in Brooklyn with my uncle. - Mine have passed on.
现在就剩三个了， 那句话怎么说来着？ It's just the three of us now. What's that expression?
-举杯邀明月，对影成三人。 -没错。 - Me, myself and I. - Sure.
太难了。 That's tough.
但某种程度上说，我们都形单影只， 是吗，查理？ But in a sense, we're all alone in the world, aren't we, Charlie?
我身边总有亲友相伴，但是…… I'm often surrounded by family and friends but...
嗯…… Hmm...
孤独对你并不陌生吧。 You're no stranger to loneliness, then.
我没什么好抱怨的，尤其在女人这方面。 I got no beef, especially where the dames are concerned.
干我这行的，机会有的是， 一刻没闲着。 In my line of work, I get opportunities galore, always on the wing.
我给你讲些故事吧，可以让你寒毛直竖， 也许你听说过。 I could tell you stories to curl your hair but it looks like you've already heard 'em.
这张是在堪萨斯城拉生意时一个投保人帮我拍的。 That's me in Kansas City, plying my trade. Taken by one of my policy holders.
他们不仅是客户， 他们欣赏我的服务。 They're more than customers, they appreciate what I have to offer.
她丈夫出城去了， 他们买了火灾险和寿险。 Her hubby was out of town and they were carrying fire and life.
第三季度保费刚好过期…… The third quarter payment was overdue...
真羡慕你，日常生活都有自己的轨道， 而且知道自己想要什么。 I envy you. Your daily routine, you know what's expected.
你懂得生活常规。 You know the drill.
我的工作却要探索人性深处，可以说， My job is to plumb the depths, so to speak,
是要从心底挖掘出一些东西来， dredge up something from inside.
一些真实诚恳的东西。 Something honest.
我可以告诉你，在心智的领域里 I gotta tell you, the life of the mind,
没有地图可以参考， there's no road map for that territory.
探索起来可能非常痛苦， Exploring it can be painful.
这是多数人一无所知的痛苦。 A kind of pain most people don't know anything about.
-你肯定觉得很枯燥。 -哪里，太他妈有趣了。 - This must be boring you. - No, it's damned interesting.
是啊， Yeah.
从一个写华勒斯比利摔跤片的人嘴里说出来 显得尤其好是吧？ Sounds grand from someone writing a wrestling picture for Wallace Beery.
比利？没什么可抱怨的啊， 作为一个演员，他好得没话说。 Beery? You got no beef there. He's a hell of an actor.
虽然在我看来， 没人能比得上杰克·欧克伊。 Though for my money, you can't beat Jack Oakie.
欧克伊，有意思，有意思。 A stitch, Oakie. Funny stuff, funny stuff.
但别误会， 比利，摔跤片，哪里差劲了？ But don't get me wrong. Beery, wrestling picture, could be a pip.
我在学校练过摔跤。 你知道基本动作吗？ I wrestled in school. You know the basic moves?
不知道，我从来没看过摔跤片， 对摔跤也没兴趣。 No, I never even watched any. I'm not that interested in the act itself.
老天，但你得知道摔跤是怎么回事。 But hell, you should know what it's about.
我可以在30秒内让你明白什么是基本步。 I can show you the basics in about 30 seconds.
虽然你跟我不是一个重量级的， 就作个示范。 You're out of your weight class but just for the purposes of demonstration.
-没关系，真的。 -一点都不难，世上最容易的事。 - That's all right, really. - Not a bit. Easiest thing in the world.
你只要跪下来顶住我的左侧， You just get down on your knees to my left,
右手放这儿， 左手放这儿。 slap your right hand here, your left hand here.
来吧，快点，你行的，来啊。 Come on, champ, you can do it. Come on.
来吧，来吧。 Come on. Come on.
好，就放这儿。 OK, right there.
好的。 All right.
我说“预备，摔”， 我们就使劲摔倒对方。 When I say, "Ready, wrestle," you try and pin me and I try and pin you
-整个过程就这样，明白吗？ -恩，好的。 - and that's the whole game, got it? - Yeah, OK.
-预备，摔！ -呃噢！ - Ready, wrestle! - Ohhh!
嗨，二，三。 Hup, two, three.
我又来了， 楼下邻居非被我吵醒不可。 There I go again, gonna wake up the downstairs neighbors.
-没伤到你吧？ -没事。 - I didn't hurt you, did I? - It's OK.
就是这样，不过一般在摔倒前还有很多扭动。 That's it, except usually there's more squirming before the pin.
你这是第一次，而且你块头小。 It's your first time and you're small.
天哪，我伤到你了吧。 Jesus, I did hurt you.
真抱歉，我这人粗手大脚的，实在笨死了。 I sure do apologize. I'm just a big, clumsy lug.
真的很抱歉，你确定没事吧？ I sure do apologize. You sure you're OK?
我没事，真的。 I'm fine, really.
其实，还挺有帮助的。 Actually, it's been helpful.
不过我想，呃……我该去干活了。 But I guess I... I should get to work.
哎，这样对你不太公平， Well, it wasn't fair of me to do that.
我天生四肢发达。 I'm pretty well-endowed physically.
别丧气， Don't feel bad, though.
拼脑力我比你差太远了。 I wouldn't be much of a match for you at mental gymnastics.
需要什么的话，招呼一声。 Give me a holler, if you need anything.
尼布甲尼撒 作者：WP梅耶
给巴顿 希望这个小娱乐能引导你
渡过在非利士的逗留，比尔
闭上眼睛， 我简直可以闻到槲树的气味。 If I close my eyes, I can almost smell the live oak.
那是鸡油，比尔。 That's chicken fat, Bill.
原来我的嗅觉也变得像女人一样—— 虚伪狡诈。 My olfactory's turning womanish on me - lying and deceitful.
但我还是要说， 自写作全盛期以来， Still, I must say, I haven't felt a peace like this
我从未感到如此平静过。 since the grand productive days.
你不觉得吗，巴顿？ Don't you find it so, Barton?
写作使人身心宁静，不是吗？ Ain't writing peace?
嗯， Well,
事实上，比尔，我觉得不是这样。 actually, no, Bill.
相反，我常常觉得写作来自内心一股强大的痛苦。 No, I've always found that writing comes from a great inner pain.
可能这个痛苦是由于意识到 Maybe it's a pain that comes from a realization
你必须为你的同胞做些事 that one must do something for one's fellow man
来减少他们的痛苦 to help somehow ease the suffering.
也许，这只是个人的痛苦。 Maybe it's personal pain.
无论如何，我相信 好的作品都会这样 At any rate, I don't believe good work is possible without it.
而我呢，我就是喜欢编造。 Well, me, I just enjoy making things up.
没错，先生，逃避。 Yes, sir, escape.
一旦我不能写作，不能逃避自己， It's when I can't write, can't escape myself
我就想把脑袋拧下来，然后尖叫着跑过街道， that I wanna rip my head off and run screaming through the street
把我的蛋蛋扔在水果桶里 with my balls in a fruit-picker's pail.
-有时候这东西能起作用。 -这毫无用处。 - This'll sometimes help. - That doesn't help anything.
是的，我从没发现酒精对我的写作有任何帮助。 That's true. I've never found that to help my writing.
你的写作？ Your writin'?
小子，你听说过 所罗门王母亲的故事吗？ Son, have you ever heard the story of Solomon's mammy?
巴顿，你该读一下这本书， 我觉得这是比尔最好的作品，至少是最好的作品之一。 Barton, you should read this, I think it's Bill's finest or among his finest.
现在我是不是该摇尾乞怜，感激涕零？ Now I roll over like a bitch dog gettin' my belly scratched?
你看，也许这和我无关， Look, maybe it's none of my business
但像你这样有天赋的人， 难道不该对自己的才华负责吗？ but a man with your talent, isn't your first obligation to your gift?
不该竭尽全力，重新投入工作吗？ Shouldn't you be doing whatever you have to do to work again?
-你指什么呢？ -准确来讲我不清楚。 - And what would that be? - I don't know exactly.
But I do know what you’re doing with that drink. 但你怎么用酒来作践自己我是一清二楚。 我眼看着你糟蹋自己的才华、 You're cutting yourself off from your gift and from Audrey,
远离奥黛丽和你的同伴、切断自己和艺术的联系。 and from your fellow men and from everything your art is about.
不，孩子，我在造一座堤坝， No, son. I'm building a levee.
一砖一瓦地砌。 Gulp by gulp, brick by brick.
我要堆起一座堤坝，以防被肆虐的废物洪流淹没。 Puttin' up a levee to keep that ragin' river of manure from lappin' at my door.
也许你最好也这样， Maybe you'd better too,
以防被他的废话淹没。 before you get buried under his manure.
她看起来很不耐烦， 其实她能忍受一切， She seems impatient but she'll put up with anything.
不可能是一切，比尔，别试探我的底线。 Not anything, Bill. Don't test me.
你很幸运，她能忍受你。 You're lucky she puts up with you.
是吗？也许在小男生看来算幸运吧。 Am I? Maybe to a schoolboy's eye.
深谙人性的也许会说， People who know about the human heart, maybe they'd say,
“比尔，他把爱献给他的宝贝，而她只是报以怜悯。” "Bill, he gives his honey love and she pays him back with pity. "
-最不值钱的铜板 -够了，比尔 - The basest coin there is. - Stop it, Bill.
远去了，过去的好时光， 那时候我朝气蓬勃，愉悦欢畅。 Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
远去了，亲爱的朋友们， Gone all my friends
昔日棉花地里寂静空旷； From the cotton fields away
他们远离尘世， Gone from the earth
去往那个更好的地方。 To a better land I know
耳边却传来声声温柔的呼唤， I hear their gentle voices callin'
嗨，老黑乔。 Old Black Joe
我来了，我来了， I'm comin', I'm comin'
尽管我垂头弯腰， Though my head is bending low
耳边却传来他们温柔的…… I hear their gentle...
亲爱的，事实。。 是个无法细看的妓女 The truth, my honey, is a tart that does not bear scrutiny.
谁敢打破我的堤坝，后果自负。 Breach my levee at your peril.
远去了，朋友们， Gone all my friends...
狗娘养的，他这狗娘养的！ Son of a bitch. That son of a bitch!
别误会我，他是个难得的作家。 Don't get me wrong, he's a fine writer.
-……去往一个更好的地方…… -你没事吧？ - ... from the earth to a better land... - Are you all right?
-奥黛丽…… -耳边传来他们天使般的声音…… - Audrey... - I hear their angel voices...
-……你不能…… -别管我，巴顿。 -...you can't... - Go, Barton.
你不能连这个都忍受吧。 You can't put up with this.
-……老黑乔…… -我替他可惜。 - ... Old Black Joe... - I feel so sorry for him.
什么？他就是个狗娘养的。 What? He's a son of a bitch.
-不，不是…… -我来了…… - No, no... - I'm coming...
他，他有时候只是…… He, he sometimes just...
耳边传来他们天使般的声音…… I hear their angel voices...
嗯，他想起艾斯黛拉了。 Well, he thinks about Estelle.
他的妻子还住在法耶特维尔。 His wife still lives in Fayettesville.
-老黑乔 -她…… - Old Black Joe... - She's...
精神不正常。 disturbed.
真的？ Really?
我要一路走到太平洋，在那里即兴创作。 I'll just walk on down to the Pacific and from there I'll improvise.
他清醒之后会逛回来向我道歉，他总是这样。 He'll wander back when he's sober and apologize. He always does.
-恩，但这不能替他的行为开脱。 - OK, but that doesn't excuse his behavior. - Silence upon a hill in Darien.
同情必需先去理解。 Empathy requires understanding.
-我来了…… -什么？ 有什么我不明白的？ - I'm comin'... - What? What don't I understand?
尽管我垂头弯腰， Though my head is hangin' low
耳边传来他们天使般的声音…… I hear their gentle voices calling
老黑乔 Old Black Joe

穿运动衣的大块头
-这是你的鞋吧。 -查理？ - I hope these are your shoes. - Charlie?
看样子他们把我的给你了。 Because that would mean they gave you mine.
是啊，他们确实搞错了。 Yeah. As a matter of fact, they did.
进来吧。 Come on in.
天哪，今天糟透了。 你有这样的时候吗？ Jesus, what a day I had. You ever had one of those days?
-好像只有最近才这样。 -天哪，今天太糟了。 - Seems like nothing but lately. - Jesus, what a day.
好像在撒哈拉也卖不出冰水。 Felt like I couldn't have sold ice water in the Sahara.
天哪。好吧，你不想买保险， 可以，这是你的损失。 Jesus. OK, so you don't want insurance. OK, so that's your loss.
但上帝啊，有时候那些人真粗鲁。 But God, people can be rude.
我得找个像你这样的正常人谈谈， I have to talk to a normal person like you
恢复一点我的…… just to restore a little of my...
很乐意，我自己也需要振作一下。 It's my pleasure. I could use a little lift myself.
是啊，振作一下。 Little lift, yeah.
兄弟，还好有这东西，嗯？ Good thing they bottle it, huh, pal?
我说到粗鲁是吗？ 有时候人真他妈残酷。 Did I say rude? People can be goddamn cruel.
尤其是一些家庭主妇。 Especially some of these housewives.
没错，我是太胖了。 OK, so I have a weight problem.
那我就该认命咯，我不知道。 That's my cross to bear. I don't know.
-这是个防卫机制。 -针对保险？ - It's a defense mechanism. - Against insurance?
他们应该感谢我的服务才对， Something they should be grateful to me for offering?
买保险就是买平安啊。 A little peace of mind.
后来我提前收工了， Finally decided to knock off early.
听你的建议，去看了医生。 Take your advice. Went to see a doctor about this.
他告诉我耳朵感染了， 请付10美元。 He told me I had an ear infection, $10, please.
我说，“该死的，是我告诉你我耳朵感染了， 怎么你不付我10美元？” I says, "Hell, I told you my ear was infected. Why don't you give me $10?"
好，然后就吵起来了。 Well, that led to an argument.
你听我发了这么多牢骚， Listen to me bellyaching.
好像这些问题多严重似的。 As if my problems amounted to a hill of beans.
内心世界的进展怎么样了呢？ How goes the life of the mind?
恩，好一点儿了。 Well, it's been better.
但好像就是没法继续。 I just can't seem to get going on this thing.
那个思路， 那个能让你进入状态的思路， The one idea, the one that lets you get started,
我还是没有找到。 I still haven't gotten it.
也许我只有一种思路，在我的戏里。 Maybe I only had one idea in me. My play.
也许我一旦用过了， 我的作家生涯就结束了。 Maybe once that was done, I was done being a writer.
天哪，我觉得自己像个骗子。 Christ. I feel like a fraud.
坐在那里，干瞪着稿纸。 Sittin' here, staring at this paper.
隔壁那对鸳鸯有没有把你逼疯？ Those two lovebirds next door driving you nuts?
你怎么知道的？ How do you know about that?
我怎么知道？我简直可以看到他们是怎么做的。 Know about it? I can practically see how they're doing it.
兄弟，真希望我也有份。 Brother, I wish I had a piece of that.
我听到这个鸟地方 发生的每一件事 I hear everything that goes on in this dump.
-可能是管道或别的什么。 -是啊，不过…… - Pipes or something. - Yeah, but...
你能搞定的，你有头脑。 You'll lick this. You got a head on your shoulders.
那句话怎么说来着， 留得人头在，不怕没柴烧。 What do they say? Where there's a head, there's hope.
-是留得青山在，不怕没柴烧。 -不愧是作家。 - Where there's life, there's hope. - That proves you are a writer.
你也有希望。 There's hope for you too.
明天，我打赌你能卖出半打保险。 Tomorrow, I bet you sell a half-dozen policies.
谢谢，兄弟。不过我要暂时挪窝了。 Thanks, brother, but I gotta pull up stakes for a while.
-你要离开？ -过两天就走。 - You're leaving? - In a few days.
到你的地盘——纽约市去。 Out to your stomping ground, New York City.
总部事情堆成山了。 Things have gotten all balled up at the head office.
知道你要走我真的很难过，我会想你的。 I'm truly sorry to hear that. I'll miss you.

纽约对生人很不友好 New York can be pretty cruel to strangers.

你房间也这样。 Your room does that too.
墙壁都热得蜕皮了。 I guess the heat's sweating off the wallpaper.
这破地方。 What a dump.
对你这样的人来说，实在让人丧气。 I guess this must seem pretty pathetic to a guy like you.
呃…… Well...
是很让人丧气，不是吗？ But it's pathetic, isn't it?
我是说，对一个从纽约来的人而言。 I mean, to a guy from New York?
你指什么？ What do you mean?
这种酷热，太衰了。 This kind of heat. Pathetic.
我猜你带上酒了吧。 I guess you pick your poison.
可以这么说。 So they say.
可别打起行李不告别就走人 Don't pick up and leave without saying goodbye.
当然不会，朋友。 Course not, compadre.

你给我带什么来了？ 你的脸到底怎么了？ What do you got for me? What the hell happened to your face?
-只是被蚊子咬了一下。 -洛杉矶没有蚊子。 - It's just a mosquito bite. - There are no mosquitoes in Los Angeles.

-呃，我…… -关于比利那部片子，进展怎么样了？ - Well, I... - On the Beery picture. What do you got?
我发现比较困难的还是开头。 I'm having a little trouble getting started.
开……天哪，你说开头？ 你什么都没写吗？ Getting... Christ Jesus, started? You don't have anything yet?
-没写多少。 -你以为这是什么？哈姆雷特？ - Not much. - What do you think this is? Hamlet?
乱世佳人？风雨血痕？ Gone With The Wind? Ruggles Of Red?
就是个B级片，穿紧身衣的肌肉男。 你知道常规做法。 It's a B-picture. Big men in tights. You know the drill.

你不理解，他写不出来所以很痛苦。 You don't understand. He's in pain because he can't write.
酒鬼！他只会在薪水单后面签字。 Souse! He manages to write his name on the back of his paycheck.
-我觉得好像没人关心这部片子。 -你听谁说的？ - I thought no one cared about this picture. - Where did you get that from?
听着，我不知道你跟里普尼说了些什么， 但这狗娘养的喜欢你。 Listen. I don't know what you said to Lipnick but the son of a bitch likes you.
你明白吗，芬克。他喜欢你。 他有兴趣。 You understand that, Fink? He likes you. He's taken an interest.
绝不要里让普尼喜欢上你 绝不要！ Never make Lipnick like you. Never!
我不明白。 I don't understand.
你聋了吗？他喜欢你，他有兴趣。 你到底跟他说了些什么？ Are you deaf? He likes you. He's taken an interest. What the hell did you say to him?
-什么也没说。 -他感兴趣。 - Nothing. - He's taken an interest.
那意味着他会让你下地狱，虽然这跟我无关。 That means he'll make your life hell, not that I care.
但既然我管这破事， 他就会跟我没完。 But since I'm supervising this turkey, he's gonna be all over me too.
这肥屁股狗娘养的昨天打电话来， 问我进展如何。 Fat-assed son of a bitch called yesterday to ask how it's going.
别担心，我罩着你。我告诉他正在进行中， 我们都很兴奋。 Don't worry, I covered for you. I told him you were making progress, we were all very excited.
我告诉他……写得太棒了。 I told him... it was great.
明白吗？现在我也骑虎难下了 Understand? So now my ass is on the line.
他要你明天跟他讲讲。 He wants you to tell him all about it tomorrow.
-我不可能明天就写完。 -谁让你写了？杰克根本就不识字。 - I can't write anything by tomorrow. - Who said write? Jack can't read.
你得说给他听。 随便说点什么，看在上帝的份上。 You gotta tell it to him. Tell him something, for Christ's sake.
我……我跟他说什么呢？ W- What do I tell him?
-“喂，盖斯勒先生。” “接放映室”。 - 'Yes, Mr. Geisler. ' - Projection.
杰瑞！我是本·盖斯勒。 有闲着的放映室吗？ Jerry! Ben Geisler here. Any screening rooms free?
好！帮我定一个。我这里有个作家——芬克。 Good! Book it for me. I got a writer - Fink.
-给他放部摔跤片。 -“哪部？” - Show him wrestling pictures. - 'Which ones? '
我他妈管你放哪部呢，摔跤片就行。 I don't give a shit which ones. Wrestling pictures.
等等，维克多·索德伯格不是在拍吗？ Wait. Isn't Victor Sjoderberg shooting one now?
-给他看点样片。 -“好的，我会……” - Show him some of the dailies. - 'OK, I'll... '
好了，这能给你点思路。 All right. This'll give you some ideas.
明早8:15在里普尼家。 8:15 tomorrow morning at Lipnick's house.
关键是思路。 Ideas.
框架结构就行。 Broad strokes.
别害我，芬克。 Don't cross me, Fink.

你好吗？对不起，你一切都好吗？ How are you? I'm sorry. You doing OK?
-“是谁啊？” -巴顿。对不起，我是巴顿·芬克。 - 'Who is this? ' - Barton. I'm sorry. It's Barton Fink.
“恐怕现在不是时候。” 'I'm afraid it's not a good time. '
对不起，我只是觉得我需要…… I'm sorry, I just feel like I need...
我知道我不该问，我只是需要你帮个忙，我就是…… I know I shouldn't ask. I just need some kind of help, I just...
明天要交稿了。 I have a deadline tomorrow.
“好的，巴顿，我看看是不是可以溜出来。” 'All right, Barton. I'll see if I can slip away. '

-他开始失去理智了。 -恩，恩。 - 'He becomes irrational. - Uh-huh, uh-huh.
-“我看看能不能溜出来。” -“谁打来的？” - 'I'll see if I can slip away. ' - 'Who is that? '

比尔怎样了？ How's Bill?
噢，他…… Oh, he's...
他慢慢睡着了，会睡一段时间。 He drifted off. He'll sleep for a while now.
-你要写什么呢？ -嗯， - What is it you have to do, exactly? - Well.
我在考虑一个提纲，可以这样说吧。 I have to come up with an outline, I guess you'd call it.
情节，该死的整个故事情节。 The story. The whole goddamn story.
从头到尾，三幕剧，该死的…… Soup to nuts. Three acts. The whole goddamn...
那还好，你不需要写具体的场景。 That's all right. You don't have to write actual scenes.
不，但是整个该死的…… No, but the whole goddamn...
奥黛丽……你有没有读过什么比尔的摔跤片剧本吗？ Audrey... Have you ever read any of Bill's wrestling scenarios?
是的，我想我读过。 Yes, I'm afraid I have.
什么样的呢？有什么内容呢？ What are they like? What are they about?
嗯，通常都是些简单的道德故事。 Well, usually they're simple morality tales.
一个好摔跤手和一个坏摔跤手， 最后他们正面交锋了。 There's a good wrestler and a bad wrestler whom he confronts at the end.
好摔跤手身上会发生一段爱情故事， In between the good wrestler has a love interest
或者有个小孩儿需要他去保护。 or a small child he has to protect.
比尔通常会把好摔跤手写成个乡巴佬或者逃犯。 Bill would usually make the good wrestler a backwoods type or a convict.
有时候，他要保护的不是流浪儿， And sometimes, instead of a waif,
而是个长不大的白痴。 he'd have the wrestler protecting an idiot man-child.
制片厂总是讨厌这套。 The studio always hated that.
有些剧本是如此……充满了激情。 Some of the scripts were so... spirited.
巴顿…… Barton...
这只是公式，你不需要全身心投入。 it's just a formula. You don't have to type your soul into it.
我们可以创造些名字和新套路。 我来帮你，用不了多久。 We'll invent some names, a new setting. I'll help you. Won't take any time at all.
我帮比尔做过很多次了。 I did it for Bill so many times.
你帮比尔做什么？ You did what for Bill?
嗯，这种事。 Well, this.
你帮他写剧本？ You wrote his scripts for him?
嗯，基，基本思路大多是他的。 Well, th-the basic ideas were frequently his.
比尔的剧本是你写的？ You wrote Bill's scripts?
天哪，你帮他写…… 那以前呢？ Jesus, you wrote his... What about before that?
-什么以前？ -比尔来好莱坞以前。 - Before what? - Before Bill came to Hollywood.
比尔一直都是作者，可以这么说吧。 Bill was always the author, so to speak.
什么叫“可以这么说”？ What do you mean "so to speak"?
奥黛丽，你做他的……秘书有多久了？ Audrey, how long have you been his... secretary?
我看我们还是回到正题上来吧。 I think we should concentrate on our project.
我想知道比尔的书有多少是你写的。 I wanna know how many of Bill's books you wrote.
-我想知道！ -巴顿，坦白说。 - I wanna know! - Barton, honestly.
只有最近两本。 Only the last couple.
-哈！-我做的主要是编辑修改，真的…… - Ha! - And my input was mostly editorial, really...
-在他喝醉以后。 -我敢打赌。 - after he'd been drinking. - I'll bet.
天哪，伟大的全盛期。 Jesus, the grand productive days.
该死的伪君子。 What a goddamn phony.
WP梅优原来是 威廉 · 冒牌 · 梅耶 W.P. Mayhew. William goddamn Phony Mayhew.
满嘴都是逃避的鬼话， 我说 真让他逃脱了！ All his guff about escape. I'll say he escaped!
好了，我们时间不多了。 Well, we don't have much time.
会搞定的。 It'll be fine.
不要评判他，巴顿。 Don't judge him, Barton.
不要对他这么傲慢。 Don't condescend to him.
我帮助他的主要方式就是去理解他， I help Bill most by understandin' him,
欣赏他。 by appreciatin' him.
我们都需要被理解，巴顿。 We all need understandin', Barton.
今晚你也需要。 Even you, tonight.
这才是你真正需要的。 It's all you really need.
巴顿？ Barton?
-巴顿，你没事吧？ -我很好，谢谢。 - Barton, are you all right? - I'm fine, thank you.
-真的没事？ -没事，没事。 - Are you sure? - No, no.
巴顿，你没事吧？ Barton, are you all right?
不，我能进来吗？ No. Can I come in?
我们到你那儿去吧。 Let's go to your room.
查理，我有麻烦了。 你得帮我。 Charlie, I'm in trouble. You gotta help me.
冷静。不管什么问题，我们都能解决。 Get a grip on yourself. Whatever the problem is, we can sort it out.
我有麻烦了，发生了件可怕的事。 I'm in trouble. Something horrible's happened.
我想报警。警察来之前你能陪着我吗？ I gotta call the police. Will you stay with me till they get here?
别担心，我们能解决。 Don't worry about it. We can work it out.
你进去之前，要知道不是我干的。 Before you go in, I didn't do this.
我不知道一切怎么发生的， 但我没有…… I don't know how it happened but I didn't...
我要你知道这些 I want you to know that.
好的。 OK.
噢！ Oh!
天哪，巴顿，到底怎么回事？ 我们该怎么办？ Jesus, Barton, what the hell is this? What are we gonna do?
-我想报警。 -等等。 - I gotta call the police. - Hold on.
-我没干，我没干。 -等等。 - I didn't do this, I did not do this. - Hold on.
等等！停下来。现在深呼吸。 Hold on! Stop. Take a deep breath now.
-告诉我整个经过。 -我昏睡过去了。警察难道不会……？ - Tell me what happened. - I passed out. Won't the police?
别提警察了！醒醒吧， 朋友！遇到这种事他们会绞死你的。 Stop with the police! Wake up, friend! They hang people for this.
但我没有杀人。 你不相信我吗？ But I didn't do it. Don't you believe me?
我相信你，我了解你。 警察凭什么相信你？ I believe you, I know you. Why should the police?
你有没有…… Did you...
巴顿，你私下里告诉我， Barton, between you and me,
你有没有和她发生关系？ did you have sexual intercourse?
天哪，他们能查出来的。 Jesus, they can tell that.
他们得相信我啊。 They gotta believe me.
他们要有怜悯之心。 They gotta have mercy.
你还在拍电影啊，巴顿。 You're in pictures, Barton.
即使最后证明你是清白的， 这件事也能毁了你。 Even if they cleared you eventually, this would ruin you.
来吧，等在洗手间。 Come on, wait in the bathroom.
噢，上帝，噢，上帝。噢，我的上帝啊。 Oh, Lord. Oh, Lordy. Oh, my Lord.
噢，我的上帝。 Oh, my Lord.
你昏过去了。 You passed out.
-奥黛丽呢？ -她死了，巴顿。 - Where's Audrey? - She's dead, Barton.
如果她叫这个名字，她死了 She's dead, if that was her name.
听我说，巴顿，你要表现得什么事都没发生过一样， 把一切从你脑子里统统抹去。 Barton, listen to me. You gotta act as if nothing has happened. Put this totally out of your head.
我知道这很难，但你的剧本还得照写不误。 I know that's hard but your play is to go on about your business as usual.
给我们点时间来解决一切。 Give us some time to sort this out.
巴特！见到你太高兴了。 Bart! So happy to see you.
坐吧，说吧。 放松下，然后跟我说说。 Sit, talk. Relax for a minute, then talk.
-喝酒吗？ -呃…… - Drink? - Er...
好的，有没有黑麦威士忌？ Yeah. Rye whiskey?
小子，你们这些作家又会工作又会玩。 Boy, you writers work hard, play hard.
反正我听说是这样。卢！ That's what I hear, anyway. Lou!
不管怎样，本·盖斯勒告诉我一切进展顺利。 Anyway. Ben Geisler tells me things are going along great.
他说我们有一个真正的胜利者。 Says we got a real winner here.
告诉你吧，我对这个充满了期待。 我有兴趣，不过要注意，我不是想干扰你。 Let me tell you, I'm counting on it. I've taken an interest. Not to interfere, mind you.
对你没必要， 像你这样水平的作家，这样会讲故事的人。 Hardly seems necessary in your case. A writer, a storyteller of your stature.
给我大致谈谈， 说些粗略的概要。 Give it to me in bold strokes. Give me the broad outlines.
我在观众席，灯光暗下来了。 I'm in the audience, the lights go down.
神殿片厂的标志出现 Capitol logo comes up.
你开始讲吧，嗯？ You're on. Hm?
是的，呃……好。 Yeah, uh... OK.
那个，呃……我们淡入。 Well, er... we fade in.
这是纽约东部贫民区的一所出租房。 It's a tenement building on the Lower East Side.
好，这个摔跤手很穷 他得与生活搏斗 Great. He's poor, this wrestler. He's had to struggle.
-然后呢…… -嗯？ - And then... - Uh-huh?
那个，呃…… Well, er...
我能不能坦白说，里普尼先生？ Can I be honest, Mr. Lipnick?
你能不能？ Can you?
天啊，你最好直说 Jesus, you damn well better be.
天，如果我干这行不诚实… Jesus, if I wasn't honest in my business...
你不能总是诚实 这城里有鲨鱼 You can't always be honest, not with the sharks in this town.
如果我一直诚实 我只能在这里清扫泳池 If I had been honest, I wouldn't be near this pool unless I was cleaning it.
但你没有道理不这样。 But that's no reason for you not to be.
诚实，我是说，不是打扫泳池 Honest, I mean. Not cleaning the pool.
哦…… Oh...
坦白说， To be honest,
讨论进行中的作品总让我忐忑不安。 I'm never really comfortable discussing work in progress.
一切都在脑子里，但有时候， I got it all worked out in my head but sometimes,
如果你非要在不成熟的时候写下来， if you force it into words prematurely,
一旦用了错误的字眼， the wrong words,
你的意思就变了， 脑子里的东西就一变再也找不回来。 your meaning changes in... changes in your own mind and you never get it back,
所以我现在宁可不说。 so I'd just as soon as not talk about it.
芬克先生，别管我在电影界干了多少年， Mr. Fink, never mind how long I've been in pictures.
里普尼先生在电影刚发明的时候就开始干了。 Mr. Lipnick has been in pictures since they was invented.
他简直是电影的发明者。 He practically invented them.
我想，如果他有兴趣知道他的雇员在干什么， I think if he's interested in what one of his contract employees is doing,
那个雇员就应该告诉他， that employee should be able to tell him,
如果他还想被雇佣的话。 if he wants to stay an employee.
现在，你脑子里的东西就是神殿制片厂的财产。 Right now, the contents of your head are the property of Capitol Pictures.
如果我是你， If I was you,
我会清楚地说出来， 而且马上就说。 I would speak up and pretty goddamn fast.
你这卑鄙的狗娘养的臭犹太佬 You lousy kike son of a bitch.
你在教这个人，这个艺术家该怎么做？ You're telling this man, this artist, what to do?
-里普尼先生，我…… -这个人是以创作为生的。 - Mr. Lipnick, I... - This man creates for a living.
这个人靠创作吃饭 要感谢他，不然你就滚蛋 Thank him for it, you son of a bitch, or you're fired.
-真的没关系。 -跪下来，你这狗娘养的。 - That's really not necessary. - Get down on your knees, you son of a bitch.
你给我跪下来，吻他的脚。 Get down on your knees and kiss this man's feet.
-里普尼先生，别这样。 -吻他的脚！ - Mr. Lipnick, please. - Kiss this man's feet!
滚出去，你明白吗？ Get outta here. You understand me?
给我离开这儿，你被解雇了。 别让我再看到你。 You're outta here. You're fired. Get outta my sight.
-我向你道歉。 -不，布里兹先生帮了很大忙。 - I apologize. - No, Mr. Breeze has been a great help.
你不必为他打掩护 这样事出现过 You don't have to cover for him. These things happen.
-如果你能重新考虑一下，我会好受些。 -忘了它吧，把这些从脑子里抹去。 - I'd feel better if you'd reconsider. - Forget it. Put it out of your head.
如果他不向你道歉， 那么我来道歉。 If he wouldn't apologize to you then I will.
我尊敬你的艺术和方式 I respect your artistry and your methods.
如果你还不能告诉我们故事情节 我们也该为你的努力工作吻你的脚。 And if you can't fill us in yet, we should be kissing your feet for your fine efforts.
你知道， You know,
在我们老家 我们小时候就被教导 in the old country we were taught as children
恳求自己敬重的人并不可耻。 there's no shame in supplicating yourself when you respect someone.
我代表神殿公司，代表管理者， On behalf of Capitol Pictures, the administration
and all of the stockholders,、 和所有股东，
请接受这个作为我们的道歉和敬意。 please accept this as a symbol of our apology and respect.
巴顿，我能进来吗？ Barton, can I come in?
天哪，你要走了？ Jesus, you're leaving?
我必须走，老朋友， 就离开一会儿。 I have to, old-timer, just for a little while.
天哪，查理，我…… Jesus. Charlie, I...
一切都好，相信我。 Everything's OK, believe me.
我知道这很难， 不过一切都处理好了。 I know it's rough but everything's been taken care of.
查理，我在这里举目无亲。 Charlie, I got no one else here.
在洛杉矶我只有你这么一个…… You're the only person I know in Los Angeles...
可以说话的人。 that I can talk to.
我觉得我要失去理智了，我要疯了。 I feel like I'm losing my mind, like I'm going crazy.
我不知道该怎么办。 I don't know what to do.
我没有干，相信我， 我肯定没有，查理，我…… I didn't do it, believe me, I'm sure of that, Charlie, I...
你要镇定下来，兄弟。 You gotta get a grip on, brother.
再坚持几天我就回来了。 Just carry on for a few days till I get back.
待在这里，锁上门， 不要和任何人说话。 Stay here, keep your door locked, don't talk to anyone.
我们要保持冷静， 问题会解决的。 We gotta keep our heads and we'll figure it out.
-好的，但如果…… -别争了。 - OK, but what if... - Don't argue.
你要我相信你，我相信。 别和我争了。 You asked me to believe you and I do. Don't argue with me.
你看，朋友，能帮个忙吗？ Look, pal, can you do something for me?
帮我保管这个，直到我回来。 Keep that for me till I get back.
就是些私人物品， 不过我不想带在身边。 It's just personal stuff but I don't want to drag it with me.
而且我希望它留在可靠的人手里。 可笑吧，嗯？ And I'd like to think it's in good hands. Funny, huh?
对一个人来说所有重要的东西， When everything that's important to a guy,
所有他一生中想保留的东西， everything he wants to keep from a lifetime,
就只能放进一个这么小的盒子里。 and he can fit it all into a little box like that.
我觉得…… I guess...
-我觉得实在是可悲。 -已经比我得到的要多了。 - I guess it's pretty pathetic. - It's more than I've got.
帮我保管吧，也许能带给你好运。 它能帮你完成剧本呢。 Keep it for me, maybe it'll bring you luck. It'll help you finish your script.
把我当作你的摔跤手 那你就能写出你的故事了 Make me your wrestler, then you'll lick that story of yours.
-谢谢，查理。 -恩，恩。 - Thanks, Charlie. - Yeah. Yeah, sure.
-我快去快回，你不会有事的 -你会回来吧？ - I'll see you soon, friend. You'll be fine. - And you'll be back?
别担心，伙计，我会回来的。 Don't worry about that, compadre, I'll be back.

你知道，一般我们认为你回忆的东西都是有用的。 You know, ordinarily we say anything you might remember could be helpful.
但坦白说，芬克， 那些没用。 But I'll be frank with you, Fink, that is not helpful.
注意到吗，他连笔都懒得动。 Notice how he's not writin' it down?

告诉粗胖子我们得扣除这笔费用。 'Tell Burlyman we have to deduct those expenses from his purse.
我不在乎。这是多年来的寂寞…… 'I don't care. It's lonely after all these years... '

我在打长途。 I'm calling long distance.
“什么事？你一切都好吗？” 'What is it? Are you OK? '
我很好，但我必须和你谈谈， 关于我正在写的东西。 I'm fine but I have to talk to you. It's about what I'm writing.
我觉得……这次真的…… I think... it's really...
我想这次真的玩大了。 I think it's really big.
-“嗯？你说什么？” -不是说规模大， - 'Er, what do you mean? ' - Not big in the sense of large,
虽然规模也很大，我是说重要性。 although it's that too, I mean important.
这也许是我所有作品中最重要的一部。 This may be the most important work I've ever done.
“巴顿，一切都好吧？” 'Barton, is everything OK?
“你听起来有点……” 'You sound a little... '
-听起来有点什么？ -“你听起来有点，呃……” - Sound a little what? - 'You sound a little, er... '

是我，查理。 It's just me, Charlie.
我听说是蒙特，疯子蒙特。 I hear it's Mundt. Madman Mundt.
天哪，有时候人真残酷。 Jesus, people can be cruel.
不是嫌我胖， 就说我性格有问题。 If it's not my build, it's my personality.
他们说我是疯子，巴特， 但我对谁都没发过怒。 They say I'm a madman, Bart, but I'm not mad at anyone.
真的，我从来没有。 Honest I'm not.
对大部分人，我有的只是同情。 Most guys I just feel sorry for.
一想到他们的遭遇，他们的困境， It tears me up to think about what they're going through,
我就撕心裂肺般痛苦。 how trapped they are.
我能理解他们， I understand it.
感同身受， I feel for 'em.

你以为你知道什么是痛苦？ You think you know pain?

看一看这个垃圾场， Take a look around this dump.
你只是个带打字机的游客， 我才是住在这里的人。你明白吗？ You're just a tourist with a typewriter, I live here. Don't you understand that?
是你闯进我的家， And you come into my home
你还抱怨， and you complain
说我发出太多噪音。 that I'm making too much noise.
我很抱歉。 I'm sorry.
别这样。 Don't be.
需要我的话我就在隔壁。 I'll be next door if you need me.
噢，顺道拜访了你在纽约的父母和莫瑞叔叔。 Oh, I dropped in on your folks in New York and Uncle Maury.
都是好人那。 Good people.
顺便说一下，我给你的那个包裹， By the way, that package I gave you,
是骗你的，不是我的。 I lied. It isn't mine.
芬克，萨缪尔或莉莲芬克。 富尔顿街85号。 Fink. Samuel or Lillian Fink. 85 Fulton Street.
-或者莫瑞叔叔。 -“我知道，但没人接。” - Or Uncle Maury. - 'I understand but there's still no answer. '
-芬克先生！ -“需要我查一下电话故障吗？” - Mr. Fink! - 'Shall I check for trouble on the line? '
-芬克。 -里普尼先生。 - Fink. - Mr. Lipnick?
如果不介意的话，请叫我里普尼上校。 坐吧。 Colonel Lipnick if you don't mind. Sit down.
我昨天被委任到预备役部队， 是由亨利·摩根安排的。 I was commissioned yesterday in the Army Reserve. Henry Morgenthau arranged it.
-恭喜。 -还没正式通过呢。 - Congratulations. - It hasn't gone through yet.
这是戏服，服装部搞的 在这个城市里干什么都得等 Wardrobe did this. You gotta pull teeth to get anything done in this town.
在和平年代，官僚主义可以理解， 但现在是对日全面战争时期。 I can understand red tape in peacetime but now it's all-out war against the Japs.
-他们喜欢看到我这样穿戴 -是的，先生。 - They'd love to see me sit this one out. - Yes, sir.
不管怎样，我让卢给我读了你的剧本。 Anyway. I had Lou read your script for me.
我得告诉你，芬克……这样可不行 I gotta tell you, Fink... it won't wash.
恕我冒昧 我想这是我最好的作品 With respect, I think it's the best work I've done.
别跟我吹牛了，芬克。 Don't gas me, Fink.
如果你的意见有用，公司早就是你开的了。 这话没用，你也开不了。 If your opinion mattered, you'd run the studio. It doesn't and you won't.
傻子才开不了这家收容所， 所以我们要终止这种谣言， The lunatics will not run this asylum so let's put a stop to that rumor...
-现在就要。 -是的，先生。 - right now. - Yes, sir.
我只能打电话给比利， 告诉他片期延迟了。 I had to call Beery, tell him we're pushing the picture back,
毕竟，我得跟他讲讲巴顿·芬克的感觉。 after all I'd told him about that Barton Fink feeling.
你知道我们有多失望。 瓦利心都要碎了，整个人精神崩溃。 How disappointed we were. Wally was heartbroken, devastated.
他……嗯，实际上我没打电话给他， 是卢打的。 He was... Well, I didn't actually call him, Lou did.
-我刚才的描述不夸张吧？ -是的，上校。 - But that's a fair description, isn't it? - Yes, Colonel.
我可以一点一点分析给你听， 为什么你的故事很烂 I could go through it step by step explaining why your story stinks.
但我不想侮辱你的智力。 好吧，还是说一下。 But I won't insult your intelligence. Well, all right.
首先……既然这是个摔跤片， First of all... this is a wrestling picture.
观众想看到打斗、摔跤， 诸如此类的东西。 The audience wants to see action, wrestling and plenty of it.
他们不想看一个人和他的灵魂摔跤， 只有少数评论家才会喜欢。 They don't want a guy wrestling with his soul - a little for the critics -
但你丢了南瓜捡了芝麻， 到时候观众肯定会直奔出口退场 but you make it the carrot that wags the dog, they'll head for the exits.
那个摔跤台上就有很多诗意，芬克。 There's plenty of poetry right inside that ring, Fink.
看看 “地狱的十平方英尺” 吧 Look at Hell Ten Feet Square.
- “鲜血、汗水和帆布” - “鲜血、汗水和帆布” - Blood, Sweat And Canvas. - Blood, Sweat And Canvas.
这些都是大片，关于穿紧身衣的大人物。 These are big movies, about big men - in tights.
不管是肉体上还是精神上， Both physically and mentally.
尤其是肉体上。 Especially physically.
我们不会让瓦利·比利去演一部灵魂挣扎的搞笑片。 We don't put Wally Beery in a fruity movie about suffering.
我以为这点上我们见解一致。 I thought we were together on that.
-对不起让你失望了。 -你没让我失望。 - Sorry if I let you down. - You didn't let me down.
你随手涂鸦的东西不会决定我们的生死， 但你让本·盖斯勒失望了。 We don't live or die by what you scribble. You let Ben Geisler down.
他喜欢你，信任你。 所以他被解雇了。 He liked you, trusted you. And that's why he's fired.
他这人心比天高， 但你耍了他。 He had a heart as big as the outdoors and you fucked him.
他想说服我连你一起解雇了， 但没这么容易。 He tried to convince me to fire you too but that'd be too easy.
你还在合同期， 你写的任何东西都属于神殿公司， You're under contract. Anything you write belongs to Capitol Pictures
但神殿不会出版你的任何作品， and Capitol Pictures won't produce anything you write.
除非你能成熟一点。 Not until you grow up a little.
你根本就不是个作家，芬克， 你他妈是个“作”家。 You ain't no writer, Fink, you're a goddamn write-off.
我想让你看一些美好的东西， I tried to show you something beautiful,
一些关于我们所有人的东西。 something about all of us.
你这狂妄自大的狗娘养的， You arrogant son of a bitch.
你以为自己是唯一能给我巴顿芬克感觉的人？ You think you're the only writer that can give me that Barton Fink feeling?
我有20个签约作家， 他们都可以给我芬克类型的东西。 I got 20 writers under contract I can ask for a Fink-type thing from.
你这个伪君子，难道你就是不明白吗？ You hypocrite, you just don't get it, do you?
就你那些犹太脑袋里嘎嘎作响的破玩意儿， 你以为整个世界都围着它转吗？ You think the whole world revolves around whatever rattles inside your kike head.
把他带走，卢， Get him outta my sight, Lou.
不过我要他继续呆在城里， 合同还没到期。 I want him in town, though. He's still under contract.
我要你继续呆在城里， 芬克，但在我眼前消失！ I want you in town, Fink, and out of my sight.
现在，给我滚吧。 Now, get lost.
战争已经开始了。 There's a war on.
天气真好。 It's a beautiful day.
呃？ Huh?
我说天气真好。 I said it's a beautiful day.
是的，是很好。 Yes. It is.
盒子里有什么？ What's in the box?
我不知道。 I don't know.
不是你的吗？ Isn't it yours?
我不知道。 I don't know.
你真美。 You're very beautiful.
你是电影明星吗？ Are you in pictures?
别犯傻了 Don't be silly.
