我没听明白 什么 I don't understand you. What?
他想学建筑 He wants to study architecture.
而且当然 我很乐意帮助他 And, of course, I'd be only too happy to help him.
你怎么会想到要做建筑师的 Where has this come from?
我一直想找时间告诉你 I've been trying to tell you for some time.
不 你没有 No, you haven't.
我一直想告诉你 Well, I've wanted to tell you.
但你已经有工作了 But you have a job.
-在这里帮我 -我知道 不过... - Here, with me. - I know. But--
罗素先生 我觉得拉里只是想 Mr. Russell, I think that Larry just wants
了解些建筑原理 to learn about the principles of architecture.
三四年之后 他就可以运用这些技术来 After three or four years, he could then employ his skills
管理您的生意 in the management of your business interests.
-你是这样想的吗 -不是 - Is that what you want? - No.
我想做建筑师 I want to be an architect.
你看 怀特先生 You see, Mr. White?
我儿子看不上你这种息事宁人的折中说法 My son disdains your peacemaking compromise.
我认为拉里有天赋 I believe Larry has talent,
如果这样说能让你改变主意的话 if that might make a difference.
不能 It won't.
我要送你母亲和妹妹去乘马车了 And now I'll put your mother and sister into the carriage.
麻烦你照顾一下客人 Please see to our guests.
但奥斯卡回来时我该怎么跟他说 But what do I say to Oscar when he gets here?
我能说什么 What can I say?
他玷污了自己的人格 That he has disgraced his character?
他的名声 His name?
和他母亲吗 And his mother?
不过... Well...
你说"不过"是什么意思 What do you mean, "Well"?
只不过所有男人 或者几乎所有男人 Only that all men, or almost all,
年轻时都有风流韵事 have a fling of some sort when they're young,
他们还会到处吹嘘 and they live to tell the tale.
我可不想听到别人跟我说这些 This is a tale I'd rather were not told.
我只是觉得这是常有的事 I just think these things happen.
你怎么知道 How do you know?
你过着双重生活吗 Have you been leading a double life?
没 但我也没单纯到什么都不知道 No, but I'm not so simple that I don't know what goes on.
接下去你就要说自己是未来世界的女人 You'll be calling yourself a woman of the world next.
但我也不是瑞普·凡·温克尔 艾格妮丝 Well, I'm not Rip Van Winkle, Agnes.
美国作家华盛顿·欧文的短篇小说的主人公 因为喝了仙酒沉睡二十年而与时代严重脱节
而且我理解年轻男人需要放荡不羁 And I understand that young men have to sow their wild oats.
就算你说得对 Even if that were true,
他们也不用非得跟仆人搞在一起 they do not have to sow them with servants.
那你喜欢什么样的人 女演员 What would you prefer? An actress?
-还是妓女 -艾达 - Or a prostitute? - Ada!
如果你再这么说话毫无节制 I'm going to have to ring for my smelling salts
我得按铃把嗅盐拿来了 if you do not moderate your tone.
你根本就不该知道这些词的存在 You should not even know these words exist.
但我知道 Well, I do.
而且我知道有教养的年轻淑女 And I know that well brought up young ladies
可不会在 are not the girls lighting
戴尔莫尼科餐厅为男伴点雪茄 the cigars of their escorts at Delmonico's.
美国第一家提供菜单点菜的现代餐厅 于1837年开业 接待过众多政客名流
你在逼我重新评估你的性格 You are forcing me to reevaluate your character.
那我也无能为力 I can't help that.
关键是他今晚要来吃晚饭 The point is, he's coming for dinner this evening,
而我不知道该怎么办 and I don't know what to do.
换了我就什么都不做 I should do nothing.
不动声色 Do nothing and say nothing.
但当然 你不会听我的 But of course, you won't listen to me.
鲍尔太太想问问今晚上第一道菜的 Mrs. Bauer asks if she might have a precise time
确切时间 to serve the first course this evening.
艾格妮丝 Agnes?
亲爱的艾达 你能否告诉鲍尔太太 Ada, dear, would you tell Mrs. Bauer
我觉得今晚八点半 I think it would be nice to sit down
能开始用晚餐就很可以 to dinner tonight at half past eight?
谢谢你 班尼斯特 Thank you, Bannister.
干得漂亮 Well done.
罗素联合信托
这个亮灯的招数还真不错 That was quite a trick with the lighting.

等车站建好时 By the time the station is built,
电力会成为我们生活的一部分 electricity will be part of our lives.
爱迪生会在9月4日 Edison is mounting a demonstration
-做个展示 -他有什么计划 - on September 4th. - What's he got planned?
首先 他会启动他在珍珠街上的发电厂 First, he'll switch on his plant on Pearl Street.
然后 到10点 But later, at 10:00,
他点亮公园街的 he will illuminate the offices of
曼哈顿区的一条街道 高楼林立 纽约时报等联邦办公大楼的集中地
《纽约时报》办公大楼 "The New York Times" on Park Row.
你怎么会知道这么多 How do you know so much about it?
他邀请我参加 He invited me to attend.
我要跟他共进庆祝亮灯之夜的 I'm to meet him for a terribly grand dinner
盛大晚宴 in time for the evening illuminations.
你以前怎么从没提起过 Well, why didn't you say this before?
我以为你对这事没兴趣 I didn't think it would interest you.
我当然有兴趣 Of course it does.
我只想知道 我们还得等多久 All I want to know is, how long do we have to wait
才能在家里装上电灯 before we install it at home?
还有件事 Oh, one thing.
这里结束之后我和克雷要去见律师 Clay and I are meeting lawyers after this,
所以我可能会晚点回家 so I may be home late.
我们会挺过去的 乔治 We'll get through this, George.
不过我们必须要坚强 We just have to be strong.
你胜利的信心 You always hearten me,
总是能鼓舞我 with your confidence of victory.
你要用这笔钱做什么 What will you do with that?
你没有银行账户 You don't have a bank account.
也许我会开一个 鲍尔太太 Perhaps I plan to open one, Mrs. Bauer.
不过我要查清是谁给范莱茵夫人写的那封信 And I'm going to find out who wrote that letter
就算这是我走前的最后一件事 to Mrs. Van Rhijn if it's the last thing I do.
怎么查 How?
可能是罗素家中任何一个人干的 It could have been anyone in the Russells' house.
有人知道是谁干的 Someone will know who did it.
停车 Whoa, there!
开心点 罗素先生 Cheer up, Mr. Russell.
-情况没那么糟吧 -没有吗 - It can't be as bad as all that. - Can't it?
我和我父亲吵了一架 I've quarreled with my father.
很快还会吵 Or at least we soon will.
-是有关建筑学吗 -你怎么知道 - Is this over architecture? - How did you know?
因为你那天在怀特先生的办公室外告诉过我 Because you told me, that day outside Mr. White's office.
你得给你父亲一些时间 You must give your father time.
他爱你 不想和你翻脸 He loves you. He won't want to fall out.
布鲁克小姐 想要我父亲的爱 When my father loves, Miss Brook,

母亲 我 格拉迪斯 Mother, me, Gladys,
我们都必须遵从他的安排 we must all keep to the steps he has laid down.
人只有一生 罗素先生 You have one life, Mr. Russell.
如果你走错了路 If you take the wrong path,

我现在必须送小南瓜回家了 Now I must escort Pumpkin home.
再见 Good day.
夫人要在9月4日爱迪生先生 Mistress is getting up a party for September 4th
点亮电灯时举办一场宴会 when Mr. Edison turns on his electric lights.
为什么那么在意爱迪生先生 Why the fuss about Mr. Edison?
一百年前我们就知道有电 We've known about electricity for a hundred years.
几个世纪来 一直都有雷电风暴 And there have been electric storms for centuries.
但爱迪生先生驯化了电 特纳小姐 But Mr. Edison has tamed it, Miss Turner.
完全征服了它 He has mastered it.
他知道如何生产和储存电 He knows how to make it, how to store it,
知道如何利用电为我们谋福利 how to use it - for our benefit.
我觉得这很令人激动 I think it's exciting.
是吗 Is it?
电来了以后 我们的一半工作都将不复存在 When electricity comes, half our jobs go up in smoke.
烹饪 清扫 Cooking, cleaning,
很快就都由电完成了 it'll all be done with electricity before you know it.
点灯仪式那晚 What is the mistress planning for the night
夫人的安排是什么 when the lights are turned on?
人数不多 也不在这里 Not a large party, and not here.
更像是野餐 就8个人 It's more of a picnic. Eight people.
4人在有厢马车里 Four in the landau,
4人在另一辆租来的马车里 four in another rented carriage.
他们7点整在此会面 然后乘车前往公园街 They'll meet here at 7:00 and drive to Park Row.
他们会在车里用餐 以确保有个好位置 They'll dine in the carriages to make sure of a good place
观看10点整 爱迪生点亮《时报》大楼 and watch Edison illuminate the "Times" building at 10:00.
谁来服侍他们 Who will they get to serve?
两位男仆会作为车夫跟着去 Two of the footmen can go as postilions.
他们能服侍 They'll manage.
我很好奇 她打算把谁拉入她的计划 I wonder who she's planning to hook into her scheme.
费恩夫妇会去 The Fanes will be there.
但我想她会再次去找麦卡利斯特先生 But I think she'll try for Mr. McAllister again,
如果她说服他和自己一起公开露面 if she can persuade him to be seen with her in public.
我想他一定很高兴和她一起公开露面 I'm sure he'd be very glad to be seen with her in public.
布鲁斯太太 即使你不相信这一点 Even you don't believe that, Mrs. Bruce.
但为了一顿丰盛的晚餐和一个良好的观看座位 But he may tolerate it for the sake of a good dinner
他或许可以忍受这一点 and a decent seat for the display.
请别再说这些刻薄话了 特纳小姐 Please give us a rest from your nastiness, Miss Turner.
你说什么 丘奇先生 What's that, Mr. Church?
天啊 My golly.
我想我们可以在这里练习 I thought we might practice in here.
我们可以在这里排演一部新《阿依达》 We could rehearse a new production of "Aida" in here
威尔第创作的一部以古埃及为故事背景的四幕七景歌剧
都还有富余的地方 and still have plenty of room to spare.
问题是 我觉得我们需要更多的人 The thing is, I assume we need some more people.
方阵舞再加6个人 Six more for a quadrille.
2位女士 4位男士 但别担心 Two more girls and four men, but don't worry.
安吉拉·舍默霍恩喜欢跳舞 Angela Schermerhorn loves dancing,
并且她是我的堂表亲 and she's a cousin of mine.
还有萨丽·卓克索 And Sally Drexel.
我很容易就能请来几位年轻男士 And I can easily round up a few young men.
我们或许可以邀请奥默·威尔逊 Maybe we could ask Orme Wilson.
你母亲为什么如此坚决地反对他 Why is your mother so dead set against him?
从社交报上看 他的家人遍布上流社会每个角落 Judging by the society pages, his family goes everywhere.
这就是问题所在 她认为他们太过野心勃勃 That's the problem. She thinks them pushy.
据说他父亲是个靠战争发家的人 The father was a war profiteer, or so they say,
姐姐嫁给了奥格登·戈莱特 and the sister has married Ogden Goelet,
全美最有钱的人 one of the richest men in America.
当然 所有人都会认为他想更上一层楼 Of course, everyone thinks he's been caught.
所以你母亲认为威尔逊先生动机不纯吗 So your mother doesn't trust Mr. Wilson's motives?
-何止如此 -但你相信他吗 - To put it mildly. - But you do?
何止相信 To put it mildly.
那样的话 我们一定要邀请他来跳舞 In that case, we'll definitely have him as one of our dancers.
我们需要告诉被邀请人 We need to be able to tell anyone we ask
舞会什么时候举行 when the ball is happening.
-那我们最好就别邀请了 -你为什么这么说 - Then we'd better call it off. - Why do you say that?
因为你不会定下舞会日期 Because you won't set a date.
我每次问你 你都拒绝 Every time I ask, you refuse.
那是在房子装修好之前 That was before the house was ready.
现在已经装修好了 Now it is.
我会写信给麦卡利斯特先生 找个有空的日子 I'll write to Mr. McAllister to find a date that's free.
我们不想有什么竞争 We don't want to be in competition.
你怎么突然改变心意了 母亲 What's changed, Mother?
为什么你说得好像我故意让你成为 Why are you talking as if I meant you to be
城中首个从未亮相的上流社会年轻女子 the first debutante in the city who never made her debut?
我们要请位钢琴师陪你们练习 We'll get a pianist in for your practice.
你有合适的舞蹈老师人选吗 And perhaps you have the name of a dancing instructor?
当然 Of course.
参加你们方阵舞的男士和女士 The men and girls who will join in your quadrille,
我需要征求他们父母的同意吗 should I ask their parents if they mind?
不用 他们都很喜欢格拉迪斯 Oh, no, they'll all love Gladys.
都非常想看看这幢房子里面的样子 And they're dying to see inside this house.
每位都是 Everyone is.
那我就邀请他们参加舞会 Well, I'll ask them to the ball
让他们看到自己孩子的表演 so they can watch their children perform.
他们绝对不能错过那个 They mustn't miss that.
先生们 我想我的第一个问题是 Gentlemen, I suppose my first question is,
你们见过迪克逊先生所说 have you seen the paper
我寄给他的那封信吗 that Mr. Dixon says I sent him?
-布兰德先生 -我见过 - Mr. Brand? - I've seen it.
信看上去是真的 I'm afraid it appears genuine.
当然 我们会请笔迹专家来检验 We'll have a handwriting expert examine it, of course.
但我们不能抱太多期望 But we can't expect too much from that.
上面到底写了些什么 What does it say, exactly?
"价格贵得离谱 找个更便宜的 "The price is ridiculous. Find a cheaper option.
我不管你怎么做 或付出什么代价" I don't care what it takes or how you do it."
后面是你的签名 Followed by your signature.
他把信封弄丢了 但这对我们没有帮助 He's lost the envelope, but that won't help us.
听起来像是我的口吻 Certainly sounds like me.
我们能与这位迪克逊对质吗 Can we confront this Dixon?
之后会有一场初审听证会 There'll be a preliminary hearing.
我们会在那里与他见面 We'll face him there.
但我们当时不是付了全款吗 But didn't we pay the full price?
钱哪去了呢 路易斯先生 What happened to the money, Mr. Lewis?
迪克逊说估价款 Dixon claims the estimate
是在他不知情的情况下上交的 was submitted for payment without his knowledge.
-所以钱现在到哪去了 -不见了 - So where's the money now? - Missing.
但很不幸的是 无法追溯到他身上 But not traceable to him, unfortunately.
这对罗素先生的案子不是更有利吗 Doesn't that strengthen Mr. Russell's case?
这取决于听证会上法官选择相信谁 It depends whom the judge chooses to believe at the hearing.
他如果相信罗素先生 If he believes Mr. Russell,
迪克逊就得接受庭审 then Dixon will go forward for trial.
罗素先生只会作为证人被传唤 And Mr. Russell will only be called as a witness.
但他要是相信迪克逊呢 But if he believes Dixon?
那么罗素先生可能会被以 Then Mr. Russell may be charged
过失杀人罪被起诉 with manslaughter by negligence.
这么想太悲观了 That is very pessimistic.
罗素先生应该做好最坏的打算 Mr. Russell should be ready for the worst.
相信我 Believe me,
罗素先生总会做好最坏的打算 Mr. Russell is always ready for the worst.
奥斯卡表哥 Cousin Oscar.
没出什么事吧 Is everything all right?
奥斯卡走了 Oscar's gone.
他生我气了 但他没权利这么做 He's angry with me, but he has no right to be.
我才是那个应该生气的人 I'm the one to be angry.
为什么 出什么事了 Why? What's happened?
奥斯卡做了不光彩的事 Oscar has disgraced himself.
和罗素夫人的女仆 With Mrs. Russell's maid.
他真是不计身份 How democratic.
这事并不可笑 It is no laughing matter.
真的 Really.
再加上班尼斯特的背叛 我受够了 On top of Bannister's betrayal, it is too much.
奥斯卡试图否认 Oscar tried to deny it.
是你在说 还是我在说 Are you telling this story, or am I?
不过话说回来 我们干嘛把这事告诉玛丽安 Although, why either of us are telling it to Marian,
我不知道 I do not know.
他说他们不过是关系较好的熟人 He said they were friendly acquaintances and that was all.
-我想... -就好像我儿子 - Well, I suppose-- - As if my son
会把一个女仆当朋友似的 would number a lady's maid among his friends.
就连艾达都觉得这是在胡扯 Even Ada thought that was nonsense,
而她根本不知道孩子是怎么出生的 and she barely knows how babies are born.
艾格妮丝 你的怒气已经让你丧失理智了 Agnes, your anger is making you indelicate.
那现在怎么办 So what happens now?
我要她被解雇 I want her sacked.
我要她明晚之前滚蛋 I want her out on her ear by tomorrow night.
那你必须写信给罗素夫人 Then you must write to Mrs. Russell.
我要说些什么 What would I say?
我母亲常跟我说 My mother always told me
千万别写我不希望被刊登 never to write anything I wouldn't want printed
流行报刊读者来信页的内容 on the letters page of a popular journal.
-那你打算怎么做 -我什么也不做 - Then what will you do? - I'll do nothing.
你去见罗素夫人 You will go and see Mrs. Russell.
毕竟是你认识她 我不认识 After all, you know her. I do not.
但这事与我无关 But it isn't my quarrel.
你的家族名誉就要岌岌可危了 Your family's honor is in danger.
这当然和你有关 Certainly it is your quarrel.
我有什么权利要求一位夫人 What right have I to ask a woman
去炒了她自己的仆人 to fire her own servant?
-这是个不可能的任务 -玛丽安 - It's an impossible task. - Marian.
我或许是爱说教 但我不常命令人 I may be didactic, but I do not often give orders.
这是直接的命令 你要违背我吗 This is a direct order. Will you defy me?
你要这样报答我吗 Is that what we have come to?
你们听到了吗 Did you hear the noise?
夫人朝奥斯卡先生大喊大叫时 我正好在走廊 I was in the hall when Mistress started shouting at Mr. Oscar.
然后他就夺门而出了 Then he marched out and slammed the door.
所以晚餐少了一位 Which made one less for dinner,
我们才能分省下的那份冰淇淋 And we got the rest of the ice cream to share.
这是常有的事 These things happen.
你似乎不怎么惊讶 You don't sound very surprised.
母子之间 With a mother and son,
有时难免会有争吵 there's bound to be fireworks sometimes.
你不知道在吵什么吗 You don't know what it's about?
拜托 我们不要去打探范莱茵夫人的事 Please, we owe it to Mrs. Van Rhijn not to pry.
她不会那么轻易饶恕你的 You won't get back into her good graces that easily.
看我多傻 Silly me.
我落了几件东西在楼上 I've left some things upstairs that I need to wash
我得在睡前洗掉 before I sleep.
她有事瞒着我们 She knows more than she's saying.
所有的贴身女仆都是如此 All ladies' maids know more than they say.
-丘奇说你在这 -我叫他这么说的 - Church said you were here. - I told him to.
希望你不介意我没换衣服 I hope you don't mind that I haven't changed.
一点也不 Not at all.
律师们和你谈到这么晚吗 Did the lawyers keep you this late?
不 但在他们走后 我留下和克雷聊了聊 No, but after they'd gone, I stayed talking to Clay,
可怜的家伙 poor devil.
我想没人给他留晚餐 I doubt anyone's kept dinner for him.
结果呢 And?
会有一场听证会 There'll be a hearing
来决定是否存在犯罪行为 to determine if a crime's been committed
并且是否要接受庭审 and whether it should go for trial.
他们不是已经找到罪魁祸首了吗 Well, haven't they already found the man to blame?
这不好说 That depends.
有些人可能觉得罪魁祸首是你丈夫 Some people may think the man to blame is your husband.
别拿这事开玩笑 乔治 Don't joke about this, George.
-我没有在开玩笑 -我们经不起这种丑闻 - I'm not joking. - We can't afford a scandal.
尤其是在我就快要成功的时候 Not when I'm so near.
我要举办一个派对去看爱迪生先生的电灯 I'm taking a party to see Mr. Edison's lights,
我还订好了格拉迪斯的亮相舞会 and I've set a date for Gladys's ball.
这很好 I'm glad to hear it.
但如果你要上庭 一切都会化为乌有 But it won't happen if you're on trial.
我得全部取消 I'd have to cancel.
亲爱的 法规不是我定的 My dear, I don't make the rules.
我会竭尽全力去为自己辩护 I will do everything within my power to defend myself.
我还能说什么 What more can I say?
但我已经和麦卡利斯特先生约好了日子 But I've already settled a date with Mr. McAllister.
请原谅 我得让麦卡利斯特先生失望了 Well, God forbid I should be a disappointment for Mr. McAllister.
你要是觉得这很好笑... If you think this is funny--
我有可能要坐牢了 I don't think it in the least funny
而我妻子却更在意舞会的时间 that I'm facing the possibility of prison,
我一点也不觉得这很好笑 and my wife is more concerned with the date of a ball.
-福琼先生 -早上好 斯科特小姐 - Mr. Fortune. - Good day, Miss Scott.
我把我的文稿放你桌上了 I've left the draft of my article on your desk.
我会看的 I'll take a look.
你跟我说说 你觉得电怎么样 Tell me, what are your thoughts on electricity?
你是指爱迪生先生的电灯吗 Are you talking about Mr. Edison's lights?
那不完全是爱迪生先生的功劳 Well, Mr. Edison is not solely responsible.
还有谁 Who else was involved?
叫路易斯·拉蒂默 一个黑人投资商 Namely, Lewis Latimer, a colored inventor.
他研发了更好的碳灯丝 He created a better carbon filament.
简单来说就是在灯泡里 That's the thing in the bulb
使其持续发光的东西 that helps keep the lights on, so to speak.
我相信爱迪生 Well, I'm sure that Mr. Edison
会在典礼上给拉蒂默先生应有的荣誉 will give Mr. Latimer his due credit at the ceremony.
我很欣赏你的风趣 斯科特小姐 I admire your wit, Miss Scott.
不开玩笑了 我无法想象一整栋建筑物 Joking aside, I can't imagine seeing an entire building
瞬间被点亮 lit up all at once.
这既具有历史意义 又前卫创新 It's both historic and futuristic all at the same time.
你不用去想象了 Well, you're not going to have to imagine it,
因为我们会看见它实现 because we're going to see it.
-我们吗 -是的 - We? - Yes.
我们要为报纸报道此事 We're reporting on it for the paper.
我需要你帮忙访问观看的人群 I need you to help interview people in the crowd
写下他们和你自己的感受 and get their impressions as well as your own.
我们晚上在此碰面 We'll meet here on the night
然后一起去公园街 and travel to Park Row together.
我太惊喜了 谢谢你 I can't believe it. Thank you.
我得把你带上 好提醒爱迪生先生 I've got to bring you along to remind Mr. Edison
有色人种能为他的科技增色 that a colored man will make his technology better.
很抱歉我今早没能见你 I'm sorry I couldn't see you this morning.
我有数不清的事情要处理 I had a thousand things going on.
我很抱歉给你带来困扰了 I'm sorry to be such a nuisance.
完全没有 Nonsense.
我们自己来就好 法兰西斯 谢谢 We'll manage for ourselves, Francis, thank you.
我有什么能帮上忙的 So how can I help?
我只是个传信人 I'm only the messenger.
-我的姑姑相当焦虑 -焦虑什么 - But my aunt is rather anxious. - Anxious about what?
我不知该如何开口 I don't know how to say it.
你这样说可吓到我了 Now you're frightening me.
她想让你解雇你的女仆 She asks you to fire your maid.
-什么 -她的名字应该是叫特纳 - What? - I think she's called Turner.
我能知道为什么吗 Am I to know why?
她和我姑姑的一个熟人在交往 She's been seeing a man well known to my aunt.
你知道的肯定不止这些 You must have something more than that.
那个熟人是谁 What man?
他的名字不重要 His name is not important,
但范莱茵夫人坚信 but Mrs. Van Rhijn strongly believes
他们之间是苟合 that it is an improper liaison.
这有什么证据吗 What proof is there?
他们一起上街 They were in the street together,
她将手放在他手臂上 and she laid her hand on his arm.
每个触碰男人袖子的女人 Is every woman who touches a man's sleeve
都是苟合吗 in the middle of an improper affair?
我姑姑认为如果男女双方 My aunt believes that is generally the case
阶级差别很大那通常就是 when the couple are of a very different rank.
我会和特纳说 I will speak to her,
但我不能就此做出任何保证 but I cannot guarantee anything.
这人或者可能会是她的兄弟或者表兄弟 Suppose it was her brother, or even a cousin.
我们认识男方 他不是她的兄弟 We know the man, and he is not her brother.
但我跟姑姑说过 我需要更多证据来说服你 But I told my aunt I would need more evidence to convince you.
我们先不聊这个 Let us move on.
我很高兴你来了 我有事想问问你的意见 I'm glad you've come. I want to ask your advice.
-或者说是你的许可 -什么事 - Or perhaps your permission. - Yes?
我在策划一个野餐会 我想邀请雷克斯先生 I'm planning a picnic, and I want to ask Mr. Raikes.
奥萝拉说这阵他四处留踪 Aurora says she sees him everywhere these days.
如果你不反对的话 That's if you don't object, of course.
我为何会反对呢 Why should I object?
因为恐怕这次你没法出席 Because I'm afraid there won't be room for you.
我们会在两架马车上用餐 这意味着位置很少 We're going in two carriages, so each place is at a premium.
在马车里野餐吗 A picnic in carriages?
这主意棒极了 一定很有趣 That's a lovely idea. What fun you'll have.
我真羡慕 我很乐意出席 I'm jealous. I'd love to be there.
问题是 我们只有八个席位 The trouble is, we have only eight seats.
我请了拉里 格拉迪斯 麦卡利斯特先生 I've got Larry, Gladys, Mr. McAllister,
费恩夫妇以及奥萝拉的一个朋友 the Fanes, and a friend of Aurora's,
这下就只有一个空位了 而我们需要找个男人 which leaves one to fill, and we need a man to fill it.
罗素先生不出席吗 Not Mr. Russell?
罗素先生是爱迪生先生的客人 Mr. Russell is a guest of Mr. Edison.
那你找汤姆·雷斯克就对了 Then Tom Raikes is the man for you.
奥萝拉请了宾瀚小姐可真让我费解 It's so maddening of Aurora to land me with Miss Bingham.
不然我就能请你来了 Otherwise it could have been you.
再来点咖啡吗 More coffee?
很简单 It is quite simple.
离开这时要做引马人 You will be postilions when you leave here.
但当你们到达公园街后 你们得下车 Then when you get to Park Row, you will step down from the box
然后侍奉晚餐 and serve the dinner.
但我不喜欢马 丘奇先生 But I don't like horses, Mr. Church.
你是引马人 不是马夫 You're a postilion, not a jockey.
你不会靠近马三尺内的 You won't go anywhere near a horse.
晚餐需要用到的所有东西 Everything you need for the dinner
都会打包好在食篮里 will be packed in a hamper
然后绑在马车的行李架上 and strapped to the luggage rack.
她还是请来了麦卡利斯特先生 So she got Mr. McAllister after all.
她宴请他的那场午餐帮了不少忙 The luncheon she gave him has worked wonders.
还是说你介意我们提起这件事呢 丘奇先生 Or do you not care to be reminded of that, Mr. Church?
我不喜欢你这种傲慢的态度 特纳小姐 I do not care for insolence, Miss Turner,
无论是你或来自其他人 from you or anyone else.
班尼斯特先生主持地真成功 Mr. Bannister made such a success of it.
你还是快离开为好 Get back in your cave.
别理睬她 丘奇先生 Pay no attention to her, Mr. Church.
我并无此打算 I don't intend to.
跟我来 我告诉你们 Now come with me, and I'll show you
引马人的制服放在哪里 where to find the postilion's livery.
你为什么要这样招惹他 Why do you take him on like that?
他太多管闲事了 He's too big for his britches.
雷克斯先生 Mr. Raikes?
-你怎么在这 -我在等你 布鲁克小姐 - What are you doing here? - Waiting for you, Miss Brook.
那万一我没回来呢 But suppose I hadn't come back?
那我会等上大概一小时 I'd have stayed for an hour or so.
然后我会走回家 And then I would have walked home.
这又不是第一次了 Wouldn't be the first time.
那今天又有何特别 And why today particularly?
因为我得时常见你一下 Because I need to see your face at regular intervals
好让我神清气爽 to keep me on the straight and narrow.
艾格尼斯姑姑随时都可能 Any minute now, Aunt Agnes
从客厅的窗户看到我们 will look out the drawing room window,
然后我就肯定要被她训个没完 and I'll never hear the end of it.
你不觉得我们是时候别再担心 Don't you think it's time we stopped worrying
艾格尼斯姑姑怎么看了吗 about Aunt Agnes?
我想见你 我想和你聊天 I need to see you. To talk to you.
如果你是真心的 If you mean it,
张伯伦夫人想邀请我们去她府上一叙 Mrs. Chamberlain has offered to entertain us both at her house.
我们可以在那聊天 We could talk there.
-那我就放心多了 -为何 - Now I'm encouraged. - Why?
因为如果你都做好准备拜访张伯伦夫人了 Because if you're prepared to call on Mrs. Chamberlain,
那意味着你不惧承担风险 it means you're not afraid to take risks.
我得走了 I must go.
我会给你传信 I'll send a message.
我要上楼换衣服 特纳在等我 I'm going up to change. Turner will be waiting.
说起来 By the way,
布鲁克小姐今天下午来访 Miss Brook called this afternoon
让我解雇她 to ask me to dismiss her.
什么 What?
你要解雇特纳吗 You're to dismiss Turner?
是不是很奇怪 Wasn't it strange?
范莱茵夫人认为她在搞私情 Mrs. Van Rhijn thinks she's been having an affair.
她是怎么知道的 How does she know?
我认为情夫一定是她的儿子 I think the culprit must be her son.
我不能完全肯定 但这是我的怀疑 I'm not completely sure, but that's what I suspect.
奥斯卡·范莱茵吗 Oscar van Rhijn?
-我今天还收到他的一封信呢 -他有什么事 - I had a letter from him today. - What did he want?
只是对我表示支持 Just to lend me a bit of support.
那你会吗 So will you?
-解雇特纳 -为什么 你觉得我应该吗 - Fire Turner? - Why? Do you think I should?
这轮不到我决定 It's not for me to say.
这里面一定能找到点什么 There must be something here.
怎么会有人相信你会和迪克逊这样 How can anyone believe you'd make direct contact
无足轻重的人直接联系呢 with some minor little cog like Dixon?
太荒唐了 It's absurd.
我的确会给各个部门的人写指示 I do write notes to people in every department.
他们可以证实这点 They can prove that.
别忘了 我是个有钱人 And remember, I'm a rich man,
也就是说我是个恶棍 which means I'm a villain.
如果真上法庭的话 陪审团肯定这么认为 Certainly in a jury's eyes, if it ever gets that far.
我准备不去理会这件事 Well, I intend to pay it no notice.
我已经确认了 And I've confirmed the excursion
去观看爱迪生先生亮灯的出行安排 to watch Mr. Edison turn on his lights.
真的 你不取消吗 Really? You won't cancel?
我还准备告诉他我无法出席了呢 I was going to tell him I can't come.
那可不行 You'll do no such thing.
我们一起面对这件事 乔治 We'll face this together, George.
我们告诉大家结局会怎样 We'll tell them how it's going to be.
如果这样有助于你相信我们控制着局面的话 If it helps you to believe we're in control of things.
-奥斯卡 -玛丽安 - Oscar. - Marian.
希望这意味着你和你母亲的关系 I hope this means things are better
-有所改善了 -一点点吧 - between you and your mother. - A little.
她怎么都不肯接受真相 She won't be persuaded of the truth,
所以我只能接受那个假话 so I've had to agree to the lie.
是你告诉她的吗 Was it you who told her?
不是 我并不知道 No. I didn't know.
但即使我知道也不会说 But I wouldn't have, even if I did.
是吗 Really?
该来的总会来 Well, what will be, will be.
对于这些不愉快我感到很难过 I'm sorry about all the upset.
我知道你母亲非常不愿意这样 I know it's the last thing your mother would want.
对 我母亲希望我能拥有一切 Oh, yes, my mother wants me to have everything.
除了生活 Except a life.
我才不会让丘奇先生教训我呢 谢了 I don't believe I will take any lessons from Mr. Church, thank you.
如果换作是我 我倒会教训教训他 I should teach him a lesson, if I were you.
好好教训教训 A sharp one.
夫人有阵子没戴这条项链了 You haven't worn this one for a while.
特纳 我近来一直在想 Turner, I've been thinking,
不知是否到了我们 and I wonder if it isn't time
暂别一阵的时候了 for us to take a rest from each other.
什么 What?
我们处得不像以前那么好了 We don't get on as we used to.
如同所有的雇主 定基调的人是您 Like all employers, you set the tone.
我说什么来着 See what I mean?
这是罗素先生的意思吗 因为... Is this Mr. Russell's idea? Because--
不是 但他让我给你写封好推荐信 No, but he's asked me to give you a good reference,
尽管我有些疑问 我还是会写 and despite some misgivings, I will.
我不是暗示你的工作能力不优秀 There's no need to imply your work's not excellent.
他... He--
你要说什么 What were you going to say?
没什么 夫人 Nothing, Madam.
没什么 Nothing at all.
问问他是什么时候送来的 Ask him when it was delivered.
班尼斯特 信是什么时候送来的 When was it delivered, Bannister?
刚刚 夫人 Just now, ma'am.
刚刚 Just now.
他走之前 告诉他去请教约翰 Before he goes, tell him to ask John
一些服侍午餐的诀窍 for some tips on serving luncheon.
约翰负责时一切都非常妥帖 Everything went so smoothly when John was at the helm.
-什么 -谢谢你 班尼斯特 - What? - Thank you, Bannister.
这边没事了 That will be all.
你到什么时候才会原谅他啊 When are you going to forgive him?
等他值得我的原谅之时 When he has earned my forgiveness.
你过得开心吗 亲爱的 Did you have a nice time, dear?
我想是吧 I think so.
每次去布鲁明戴尔百货我都会目不暇接 I'm always overwhelmed by Bloomingdale's.
这一家店里的东西要比 There are more items in that one store
整个多伊尔斯敦的还要多 than there were in the whole of Doylestown.
罗素夫人解雇了她的贴身女仆 Mrs. Russell has fired her maid.
真让我吃惊 I'm amazed.
我和她谈时 她完全没表现出要解雇的意思 She didn't give a hint of it when I was with her.
你一定比自己想象的更加能言善辩吧 You must have been more eloquent than you realized.
你会给她回信吗 Will you write to her?
我当然不会给她回信 Of course I won't write to her.
她可能会再给我回信 She might write back.
你得要对收到信有所表示啊 You must acknowledge the letter.
她都按你的要求做了 She's done what you asked.
在为您更衣前 Is there anything you'd like me to do
还有什么吩咐吗 before you get changed?
请谢谢罗素夫人的信 Please thank Mrs. Russell for this note,
但不能有一丝一毫的热情 but without a trace of warmth.
然后派约翰送过去 And have John take it over.
你来这干什么 What are you doing here?
是你让我被解雇的吗 Did you have me sacked?
不是 No.
而且我还为你争取到好的推荐 And I got you a good reference.
那我应该感激涕零了 So I should be grateful?
那是你的事 That's up to you.
火车出轨的调查怎么样了 How's the train crash inquiry?
和你有什么关系 What do you care?
我很在意你能否平安脱险 I care very much that you should emerge unscathed.
你看... You see...
你忽略了我身上的某些情况 you missed something in me.
身为女人我许诺要把自己的一生奉献给 I was offering you a woman who would devote her life
你的成功 你的健康和你的幸福 to your success, your health, and your happiness.
罗素夫人也能这么说吗 Could Mrs. Russell say the same?
我本会爱你 I'd have loved you
爱到可以抛开一切 to the exclusion of everything else.
晚安吧 I'll say good night.
也许我们还会再见面 Perhaps we'll meet again.
我想不会了 I doubt it.
雷克斯先生到 Mr. Raikes.
您真是太好了 This is very kind of you.
我很高兴能帮上忙 I'm delighted to help.
你好 我是张伯伦夫人 How do you do? I'm Mrs. Chamberlain.
我知道 著名的张伯伦夫人 I know. The famous Mrs. Chamberlain.
您的这些画正如我听说那样 And I see that your pictures are quite as fine
精美绝伦 as I've been told.
午餐后我带你参观一下画廊 After luncheon, I'll show you the gallery.
但现在我有些正事要处理 But now I have business to attend to.
失陪了 If you'll excuse me.
我想她的正事就是让我们单独相处吧 I suppose her business is to leave us alone.
你的艾格妮丝姑姑会知道了会怎么样呢 What would your Aunt Agnes make of that?
先想想她要知道我来这里会怎么样吧 What would she make of my being in this house at all?
我承认这非常大胆 Well, I confess, it feels very daring.
我想你4号会去观看 I gather you're going to watch
爱迪生先生的电灯仪式吧 Mr. Edison's electrics on the 4th?
你会参加罗素夫人的派对吗 Will you be in Mrs. Russell's party?
不 No.
你们要乘坐两辆马车 并在车里用餐 You're to travel and dine in two carriages,
-但已经没地方坐了 -真的 - and there's no room. - Really?
那我也可以不去 你代替我 Then why don't I cancel? You can go in my place.
谢谢 但不必了 Thank you, but no.
那会打乱宾客的男女比例 毕竟都安排好了 It would spoil the numbers, and it's settled now.
费恩夫妇会去的 The Fanes are coming.
奥萝拉的朋友西茜·宾瀚也会去 And a friend of Aurora's, Cissie Bingham.
一定是她占用了你的位置 She must have taken your seat.
我不熟悉她 I don't remember her.
她好像是亨利·弗拉格勒的侄女 She's supposed to be a niece of Henry Flagler,
亨利·弗拉格勒 美国工业家 标准石油 佛罗里达州东海岸铁路的创始人
就是那个 the fellow who set up
和洛克菲勒一起创立标准石油公司的人 the Standard Oil Trust with Rockefeller.
为什么你说她"好像"是他的侄女 What do you mean, she's "supposed" to be his niece?
没人搞得清楚她到底是谁 Well, no one can work out how she could be,
但他给她大笔零花钱 but he gives her a huge allowance,
所以他们肯定有关系 so there must be a link.
无论如何 她母亲很受人尊重 Her mother is most respectable, at any rate,
不管真相如何 她们都云游各处 whatever the truth of it, and they both go everywhere.
真奇怪有些人的错误会被轻易原谅 It's odd how some people are forgiven their past misdemeanors,
而另一些人 比如张伯伦夫人 while others, like Mrs. Chamberlain,
要为此付出永恒的代价 must pay for them forever.
秘诀就是进入第一种人的圈子里 The trick is to find your way into the first group.
显然 你已经找到了在纽约的生存之道 Certainly, you've found your way around New York.
我很羡慕你 I envy you.
先别说这些了 Never mind that now.
那该说什么 What should I mind?
我爱你 That I love you.
爱上你是我今生最好的事 That my love for you is the best part of me by far.
你是个好人 汤姆 You're a good man, Tom.
当我身处绝境时 你与我还只是陌生人 Think of your kindness to me when I was a stranger
你却对我施以援助 in desperate straits.
难道现在不该由我们掌控自己的生活吗 Isn't it time we took control of our own lives?
我们还年轻 玛丽安 We're young, Marian.
我们彼此相爱 We love each other.
无需多言 What more do we need to know?
-否则 -否则什么 - Otherwise- - Otherwise what?
纽约的诱惑太多 There are so many distractions in New York.
太多使人分心的东西了 So many sideshows.
就算人们找到对的人 It must be easy for people to drift down the wrong path,
也很容易误入歧途 even when they know the right one.
何出此言 Why do you say that?
我只想让趁现在还有机会 I just want us to be strong enough,
让我们的关系坚定到能掌控未来 to take hold of our future now, when we have the chance.
打扰了 我们该用餐了吧 Excuse me, but shall we have some luncheon?
-她没警告你吗 -没有 - She gave you no warning? - Nothing.
完全出乎意料 Out of the blue.
她说这话时我正在帮她更换晚餐的衣服 I was helping her to change for dinner when she said it.
"我觉得是时候分道扬镳了" "I think it's time for us to part."
我的手当时在她脖子上 Had my hands on her neck at the time.
我就该一使劲 I wanted to tighten my grip
把她勒死 and squeeze the life out of her.
我真希望你那么做 I wish you had.
这会让我们都省事不少 It would have made things simpler for us both.
-那你打算立马走了吗 -是的 - So you're leaving right away? - I am.
但我走之前要去见见丘奇先生 But I may see to Mr. Church before I go.
他和她一样 都想让我走 He wanted me out as much as she did.
等我回到那家里 Well, I shall miss your instruction
我会想念你的建议 when I get back in that house.
一切对你来说很快就会容易些 Things will be easier for you soon.
罗素夫人终于肯打算让女儿亮相了 Mrs. Russell is bringing her daughter out, at last,
到时候你就能在各处见到她 so you'll be able to meet her all over town.
真是好消息 That's good news.
别太高调 但要迅速 Go gently, but get in there fast.
格拉迪斯小姐很固执 如果你能让她爱上你 Miss Gladys can be stubborn, but that can work in your favor
她肯定会痴心一片 if you can make her think she loves you.
他们摆脱了阿奇·鲍德温 They got rid of Archie Baldwin.
她下次会更坚强 She'll be stronger next time.
为什么这事对你这么重要 Why does it matter so much to you?
因为那野心勃勃的女人 Because the she-wolf
对格拉迪斯小姐的婚事期望很高 is planning something big for Miss Gladys,
看到她梦想幻灭 and it would warm my heart
会令我非常高兴 to see her high hopes shattered.
怎么听着不像好话呢 Not much of a compliment for me.
-这是给你的 -谁送来的 - This was left for you. - By whom?
对街女士的女佣 That lady's maid from across the street.
叫特纳小姐吧 Miss Turner, is it?
看来她要离职了 It seems she's leaving.
她写信来道别吗 Has she written to say goodbye?
算是吧 In a way.
顺便来告诉我 And to tell me
我在对面罗素家 who wrote the letter which came
而你在这服侍午餐的那天 while you were serving luncheon
是谁写了信送到这里来 and I was across the road in Mrs. Russell's house.
-我很抱歉 -无妨 你也不知道信的内容 - I'm sorry about that. - Well, you weren't to know.
那你打算怎么办 What will you do about it?
我不确定 I'm not sure.
我得考虑一下 I'll have to think about that.
俗话说君子报仇十年不晚 They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
真美妙 This is marvelous.
谢谢你 这是德加的作品 I'm so pleased. It's by Monsieur Degas.
德加 法国画家 雕塑家 该作品为著名雕塑的《小舞女》
他是印象派画家之一 He's one of the group they call the Impressionists.
1863年的时候我们在巴黎 We were in Paris in 1863
当时他们首次办展 when they mounted their first exhibition.
名为"落选者沙龙" It was known as Le Salon des Refusés.
因为他们的作品 They'd been turned down
被法兰西艺术学院拒绝了 by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, you see.
这是我的最爱 It's a favorite of mine.
你真是独具慧眼 You have a wonderful eye.
我走之前 能否多言一句 Before I go, may I offer a little
从我亲身经历中学到的箴言 of what I've gleaned from my own experience?
当然 Of course.
年轻时你觉得 When you're young,
背离社会不是什么大问题 it feels a small thing to turn your back on society,
但年岁渐长 but as the years go on,
便会变得孤独寂寞 it can be a lonely place out there.
你们要确保像我当年那样深深相爱 Make sure you are very much in love, as I was,
否则终有一日 or there may come a day
你会后悔选择了这条路 when the road you've taken does not seem worth it.
我不打扰你们了 And now I must leave you.
请不要不辞而别 Please don't go without coming to find me.
真是能言善辩 Ever the diplomat.
但我们的爱已足矣 But our love will be enough.
我知道 I know it.
你听上去像是在说服自己 You sound as if you're trying to convince yourself.
我很坚定 I am convinced.
但依旧 The fact remains,
我不想引起争议或丑闻 I don't want a quarrel, and I don't want a scandal.
如果能避免的话 Not if we can avoid it.
你是说你姑姑 I know you mean your aunts,
为何不挺身而出反抗她们 but why can't we just stand up to them?
不是艾达姑姑 她会尽力帮我们 It isn't Aunt Ada. She'll help us if she can.
艾格妮丝姑姑才是问题 It's Aunt Agnes.
玛丽安 你爱我吗 Do you love me, Marian?
你的爱和我一样深吗 As much as I love you?
我需要知道这点 That's what I need to know.
你觉得呢 What do you think?
嫁给我 Marry me.
现在就嫁给我 Marry me now.
我去找张伯伦夫人 I'll go and find Mrs. Chamberlain
与她道别 and say goodbye.
她是个聪慧风趣的女人 She's a clever and interesting woman.
但这句话最好还是别让阿斯特夫人听见 Although, I better not let Mrs. Astor hear me.
没错 Touché.
我希望这里再填满一点 I'd like it a little fuller here.
如您所愿 夫人 If madam wishes, of course.
但我得说 But I should point out
多数人开始穿小一号的裙撑了 that bustles are getting smaller for most people.
我不是多数人 I am not most people.
艾格妮丝 Agnes.
如果玛丽安和雷克斯先生想出了办法 If Marian and Mr. Raikes did come to an arrangement--
你听说什么了 What have you heard?
没有 Nothing.
我是想说 如果他们真的结婚 I just meant that if they did marry,
你不会真的与他们断绝关系吧 you wouldn't really cut them, would you?
你不想我这么做吗 Don't you want me to?
不想 No.
完全不想 Not at all.
我希望他们觉得我会 I'd like them to think I would.
但对玛丽安来说没有太大区别 It wouldn't make much difference to Marian.
她不在乎阿斯特夫人是否会接受她 She doesn't care whether Mrs. Astor receives her.
也许吧 但雷克斯在乎 Maybe not, but he does.
玛丽安可能以为他会毫不犹豫地放弃一切 She may think he can give it all up without a pang,
但我才不信 but I know better.
是否有可能你错看他了呢 Isn't it just possible you may have misjudged him?
地震有可能摧毁纽约 但可能性不大 It is just possible an earthquake may destroy New York,
我看错的可能性也不大 but it is not likely.
这条不合适 This isn't right.
你好 Hello.
有什么事吗 What can I do for you?
我知道你还在 我想见您 I knew you were still here, and I wanted to see you.
单独会面 Alone.
天啊 Goodness.
听上去是很重要的事 This sounds serious.
我想再谈谈 I want to talk some more
关于我从事建筑设计行业的事 about my having a career in architecture.
别又是这个 Not this again.
你提过了 我拒绝了 You've asked once, and I've said no.
斯坦福·怀特先生可能是最伟大的建筑师之一 So it didn't make any difference that Stanford White,
他觉得我有建筑设计的天赋 potentially one of our greatest architects,
这也不能让您改变心意吗 thought I might have talent?
伟大的斯坦福·怀特在建造我们房子时 Great Stanford White turned your head
把你带上了歧路 when he built our house.
我倒也不完全怪他 I don't entirely blame him.
我也怪自己 I blame myself.
我应该好好监督你的 I should have been watching.
那您想让我从事什么行业 What would you prefer me to do?
当然是你现在在做的 What you're doing now, of course.
你必须得学习我的行业 将来继承生意 You must study my business and take it over in time.
怎么了 What is it?
父亲 您是位天才 Father, you're a genius.
您创造了一笔可称为传奇的财富 You made a fortune that will go down in legend.
整个国家可与您并肩的人不会超过十个 I doubt there are a dozen men as successful as you in this country.
全世界都不会有一百人 I doubt there are a hundred in the world.
你过奖了 You are very kind.
您觉得 如果我追随您的脚步 What chance do you think I have of equaling
有多大可能达到同等成就 that if I follow in your footsteps?
别人一定会说虎父犬子 I must always be the disappointing son of a great man.
说我不争气 是个失败者 The poor second act. The failure.
但如果我走截然不同的道路 比如建筑设计 But if I take another path entirely, like architecture,
我就有机会留下自己的成就 I have the chance to make a mark of my own.
那我的公司呢 And my companies?
你会找到合适人选 培养他们接管公司 You'll find and train men to take them over,
让他们保护我和格拉迪斯的家业 who'll protect my future and Gladys's
确保您的事业能传承下去 and make sure the business outlives us all.
你很有说服力 You're persuasive.
我承认 I'll give you that.
我保证会好好考虑 And I promise to think about it.
但我现在有些紧急事务 But right now I have some pressing matters of my own
必须要集中精神处理 which stop me concentrating much on anything else.
火车事故 我知道 The train business, I know.
我们家里见 Well, I'll see you at the house.
父亲 And, Father,
我真心地祝您好运 I wish you luck, really.
我也祝你好运 And I wish you luck.
我希望您是真心的 I wish you would.
她走了 So she's gone,
你在罗素家的奸细没了 and you've lost your spy in the Russell house.
对 Yes.
但以后事情会容易点 But things will be easier in the future.
格拉迪斯的母亲要让她亮相了 Gladys's mother is bringing her out,
之后 她将参加城里各处的宴会 and after that, she'll be at plenty of parties all over town.
-而且... -而且什么 - Besides... - Besides what?
如果格拉迪斯听说了 对我的打算没好处 It won't help with Gladys, if she hears of it,
但如果人们听说特纳被送走 but it may play well when people learn
是因为她是我的情人 可能对我有益 Turner was sent away because she and I were lovers.
掩藏你本性的障眼法 A smokescreen to hide your true nature?
别这么说 我不喜欢被贴标签 Don't talk like that. I hate to be defined.
就算特纳只是夫人的贴身女仆也没关系吗 And it doesn't matter that she was a lady's maid?
别这么势利 Don't be such a snob.
夫人们可能对此有异议 The ladies might take exception,
但她们的丈夫可不会 but their husbands won't.
你第一次约特纳小姐出来时 就计划好了吗 Did you plan this when you first took up with Miss Turner?
不 No.
但我深信一个准则 But I'm a great believer
"抓住每次机缘 将其转换为自己的好处" in turning every chance encounter to my own advantage.
你在街上看见雷克斯先生了 You saw Mr. Raikes in the street?
你知道她的意思 艾格妮丝 You know what she means, Agnes.
雷克斯先生是玛丽安的老朋友 Mr. Raikes is an old friend of Marian's,
他们在街上偶遇了 and they met by chance.
真是偶遇吗 But was it by chance?
重点是 我很高兴听说 The point is, I was pleased to hear
他到这之后取得了这么大成功 how far he's come since he arrived,
我觉得你听了也会高兴 and I thought you would be too.
他真的取得很大成功了吗 Has he come so very far?
他现在与莱克一家交好 Well, he's friendly with the Rikers now,
还有洛克威尔一家 and the Rockwells,
上周 他与兰道夫夫人共进晚餐 and last week, he dined with Mrs. Randolph.
他所有的朋友姓氏都是以"R"开头吗 Do all his friends have names beginning with R?
我知道 你觉得他只和新贵来往 I know you think he only mixes with the new people--
比如罗素夫人 又一个"R" Like Mrs. Russell. Another R.
是的 但不只是这样 Exactly, but it isn't true.
你也认识莱克一家 认识兰道夫夫人 You know the Rikers, and you know Mrs. Randolph.
奥萝拉·费恩就很喜欢他 Aurora Fane loves him.
奥萝拉最近的社交圈子很混乱 Aurora has developed a certain social promiscuity recently.
-但你喜欢奥萝拉 -我也喜欢你 - But you're fond of Aurora. - I'm fond of you.
但不代表你就没有缺点 It doesn't mean you are without fault.
你这样不公平 艾格妮丝姑姑 You are not being fair, Aunt Agnes.
如果你想说 我没有被他的外表所迷惑 If you are saying I am not blinded by his looks
和所谓的魅力 那你说得没错 and so-called charm, then you would be right.
你要出去吗 Oh, you're going out?
我正犹豫要不要告诉你 I was of two minds about telling you.
福琼先生让我陪他一起 Mr. Fortune has asked me to accompany him
去观看点灯仪式 to the turning on of the lights.
我们都要为《环球报》撰写此次报道 We're both going to write about it for the Globe.
-我好羡慕 -我就知道你会羡慕 - I'm so jealous. - I knew you would be.
我觉得你不跟雷克斯先生一起 I think it's a shame you're not going
去参加罗素夫人的派对真是可惜了 with Mr. Raikes to Mrs. Russell's party.
马车坐不下了 There's no more room in the carriage.
她该叫一辆更大的马车 She should get a bigger carriage.
你的军团都在客厅等你呢 亲爱的 Your troops are waiting for you in the drawing room, my dear.
我也要走了 And I'm leaving too.
真希望你能跟我们一起走 I wish you were coming with us.
我喜欢你的精气神 I like your spirit.
我们不会被打败 乔治 We won't be defeated, George.
控制电力大概是 Taming electricity is probably
我们这辈子最重要的发明了 the most important innovation of our lifetime.
这是值得庆祝的事吗 And is that something to celebrate?
我想是的 真希望我在场 I think so. I wish I was there.
看公园街被点亮吗 To see Park Row illuminated?
但跟哪些人作伴 But with what sort of people?
暴徒 窃贼和更糟的乌合之众 Ruffians, thieves, and worse.
罗素夫人要举办派对 Mrs. Russell's taking a party.
我说什么来着 I rest my case.
斯科特小姐也要去 Miss Scott's going too.
为她的报纸写报道 To cover it for her newspaper.
之后我会去看 And I will read about it,
