在这39岁的年纪 Here, at the age of 39,
我开始变老了 I began to be old.
当我在那黑暗的一小时里躺着时 As I lay in that dark hour,
我惊讶地意识到 I was aghast to realize
我内心某种长期处于病态的东西 that something within me long sickening
悄然逝去了 had quietly died.
我的感觉就像一位丈夫 I felt as a husband might feel
在他婚姻第四年的感觉 who, in the fourth year of his marriage,
忽然发现他对于曾经挚爱的妻子 suddenly knew he had no longer any desire
不再有任何渴望 柔情 尊重 or tenderness or esteem for a once-beloved wife.
我们一起经历过这些 军队和我 We had been through it together, the army and I,
从一开始纠缠不休的追求 到现在 from the first importunate courtship until now,
我们之间再没剩下什么 when nothing remained to us
除了法律 责任和习惯的冰冷关联 except the chill bonds of law and duty and custom.
那天我们准备离开 我发现 We were leaving that day, and I reflected
无论摆在我们面前的景象多么荒芜 that whatever scenes of desolation lay ahead of us,
我也从来不担心会比这一个更加残凉 I never feared one more brutal than this.
左 右 左 右 左 右 左 Left, right, left, right, left, right, left!
所以 我们开拔的这个早晨 So on this morning of our move,
我对于我们的目的地毫不关心 I was entirely indifferent to our destination.
我可以继续我的工作 I would go on with my job,
但我能付出的 不过是默然接受罢了 but I could bring to it nothing more than acquiescence.
当我们在1943年冬天进驻这里的时候 When we had marched into this camp in the winter of 1943,
我带在身边的是一群强壮而充满希望的人 I had brought with me a company of strong and hopeful men.
他们当中传言说 我们终于 Word had gone round among them that we were at last
在去中东的路上了 in transit for the Middle East.
但是 随着一周周过去 积雪也开始被清扫掉 But as the weeks passed and the snow began to clear,
我看着他们的失望转变为听任 I saw their disappointment change to resignation,
而我 不管怎么说 都应该去鼓舞他们 and I, who by every precept should have put heart into them,
但就连我自己也帮助不了 我又要怎么帮助他们 how could I help them, who could so little help myself?
早上好 长官 Morning, sir.
早上好 军士长 开拔准备得怎么样了 Good morning, Sergeant Major. How's the move going?
最后的物品准备好15点装车 长官 Last stores ready for loading 15:00, sir.
很好 胡珀先生来了吗 Good. Has Mr. Hooper appeared yet?
整个早上都没见到他 长官 Haven't seen him at all this morning, sir.
哦 Oh.
那个登记在清单里了吗 Has that been entered into the book?
夜里被风吹的吧 长官 Wind in the night, sir?
是这样啊 That'll do.
—早上好 胡珀 —早上好 长官 -Morning, Hooper. -Morning, sir.
我要和胡珀先生说话 军士长 I should like to speak to Mr. Hooper, Sergeant Major.
好的 长官 Very good, sir.
你到底去哪了 Where the devil have you been?
我叫你去检查队伍的 I told you to inspect the lines.
我迟到了吗 抱歉 Am I late? Sorry.
我忙着收拾我的装备呢 Had a rush getting my gear together.
那是你勤务兵做的事 That's what you have a servant for.
呃 严格来说 我想你是对的 Well, I suppose you're right, strictly speaking.
但你知道的 他有他自己的事情要做 But you know how it is; He had his own stuff to do.
戴斯蒙德的麻烦是 The trouble with Desmond
如果我惹他不高兴了 is that if I get on the wrong side of him,
他就会以别的方式报复我 he takes it out of me in other ways.
我不惊讶 如果你跟他这么熟悉的话 I'm not surprised, if you're so familiar with him.
帽徽 胡珀 Cap badge, Hooper.
是 Yeah.
指挥官的命令 C.O.'s orders:
所有不同的标记都要去掉 All distinguishing marks to be removed.
哦 Oh.
还有 你带着这些装备又是干什么 And what are you wearing all that gear for anyway?
你又不在先遣部队里 You're not in the advance party.
我在 I am.
不是吗 Aren't I?
当然不是 Of course you're not.
命令改变了 The orders were changed.
你到底有没有看过连队公告栏 Don't you ever read the company notice board?
你不是说他们又全改了一次吧 You don't mean they've changed it all again.
哦 又来了 Oh, there you go.
典型的混乱 Typical shambles.
完全的无效率 Total inefficiency.
他们在做生意的时候可摆脱不了 我可以告诉你 They couldn't get away with this in business, I can tell you.
胡珀 你现在可以去检查D班了吗 Hooper, do you mind inspecting D squad now?
好嘞 Righty-oh.
看在老天的份上 别说“好嘞”了 And for Christ's sake, don't say "righty-oh."
抱歉 Sorry.
我有试着记住 I do try to remember.
刚刚就脱口而出了 It just slips out.
指挥官刚刚上路 长官 C.O. just coming up, sir.
谢谢你 军士长 Thank you, Sergeant Major.
早上好 长官 Good morning, sir.
嗯 赖德 这里一切都清点好了吗 Well, Ryder, everything squared up here?
对 我想是的 长官 Yes, I think so, sir.
你想是的 你应该清楚 Think so? You ought to know.
啊 Ah!
那个登记进营房损毁清单里了吗 Has that been entered in barrack damages?
—还没有 长官 —还没有 啊 -Not yet, sir. -Not yet, eh?
我想知道 如果我没看到 这什么时候能登记进去 I wonder when it would have been if I hadn't seen it.
啊哈 Aha!
看看那里 Just look at that!
这会给接替我们的团 Fine impression that gives
留下多好的印象啊 to the regiment taking over from us.
你不知道是什么给一个团设立了标准吗 Don't you know what sets the standard of a regiment?
是这个团离开营地的样子 赖德 The way it leaves camp, Ryder.
是的 那很糟糕 长官 Yes, that's bad, sir.
这是耻辱 It's a disgrace.
在我们离开之前 确保这里的东西都被烧掉了 See that everything here is burned before we leave.
好的 长官 Very good, sir.
军士长 请你派人去运输排 Sergeant Major, will you send over to the carrier platoon
告诉布朗上尉 指挥官 and tell Captain Brown that the C.O.
非常希望这条水沟被清理干净 would very much like this ditch cleared up?
是 长官 Right, sir.
提醒我一下 赖德 Remind me, Ryder,
你入伍前是做什么的 what were you in civilian life?
我是个画家 长官 I was a painter, sir.
您不该那样做的 长官 您真的不应该 You shouldn't do it, sir. You shouldn't, really.
那不是我们扔的垃圾 That's not our rubbish.
也许不是 长官 但您知道的 Maybe it's not, sir, but you know how it is.
如果您惹上级不高兴了 If you get on the wrong side of senior officers,
他们会用另外的方式报复您的 they'll take it out of you in other ways.
这是最高安保 This is top security.
当我们到那的时候 如果我发现任何营妓 If I find any of those female camp followers when we arrive,
我就会知道有人泄露消息了 I shall know there's been a leakage.
是 长官 我会确认新命令的 Right, sir. I'll see there's a new order.
昨晚我给我妻子打了电话 I called my wife last night.
她对我在哪里一点也不了解 She hasn't the slightest idea where I am.
这说不通 Doesn't make sense.
这是我们这周之内第三次遭受这些了 That's the third time we've copped it this week.
他们捉弄你呢 老弟 They're picking on you, old boy.
顺便一问 你家人怎么样 How is the family, by the way?
听起来孩子们有点麻烦 The children sound a bit difficult.
珍妮弗说 当我假期结束的那一刻 Jennifer says they always turn into monsters
他们就都变成怪物了 the minute my leave is over.
那边那个年轻军官 他是你的部下吧 That young officer over there, isn't he one of yours?
—是的 长官 —他叫什么名字来着 -Yes, sir. -What's his name again?
胡珀中尉 长官 Lieutenant Hooper, sir.
他的头发需要剪剪 His hair needs cutting.
他这样子绝对去不了新总部 He's in no shape to go to a new HQ.
我会让他剪的 长官 I'll tell him, sir.
就是这种事情 赖德 That's the sort of thing, Ryder,
给我们团抹黑 that lets down the regiment.
是的 长官 我会看着他剪好头发的 It does, sir. I'll see that it's done.
我的天 他们现在给我们派的什么军官啊 My God, the officers they send us now.
在我上一个团 如果一个年轻军官试图 In my late regiment, if a young officer was intending
那个样子去新总部 其他中尉 to go to a new HQ like that, the other subalterns
一定会替他剪头发的 would bloody well have cut his hair for him!
是吗 长官 Would they, sir?
我告诉你 赖德 I'll tell you something, Ryder.
我不想让 I do not intend to have
我的专业名声受到质疑 my professional reputation compromised
就为几个临时军官懈怠的表现 by the slack appearance of a few temporary officers!
—迪金下士 —到 长官 -Corporal Deakin? -Yes, sir.
—拿把剪刀来 —是 -Get a pair of scissors. -Very good.
—詹姆斯中尉 —长官 -Lieutenant James? -Sir?
给那个人剪头发 Cut that man's hair for him.
长官 Sir?
我说 给那个人剪头发 I said cut that man's hair for him.
对不起 长官 我不太理解 I'm sorry, sir. I don't quite understand.
那是命令吗 长官 Is that an order, sir?
这是你指挥官想要的 It is your commander officer's wish,
那是我知道的最好的命令 and that's the best kind of order I know.
去吧 把他收拾干净 Go on. Get him tidied up!
我们打算帮你收拾干净一点 We're going to tidy you up a bit.
坐下 胡珀先生 Sit down, Mr. Hooper.
您要的剪刀 长官 Your scissors, sir.
给詹姆斯中尉 Give them to Lieutenant James.
你听不懂命令吗 去啊 Can't you understand an order? Get on with it!
去啊 开始剪啊 Go on. Start cutting it.
继续 继续啊 Carry on. Keep at it.
剪啊 Cut it!
连队 走 Company, go!
连队 扛枪 Company, slope arms!
连队将3人一排向左移动 Company will move to the left in threes.
向左转 Left turn!
连队 向左对齐 动作快点 Company, by the left, quick march!
很抱歉你头发的遭遇 胡珀 I'm sorry about your hair, Hooper.
哦 没什么 Oh, that's all right.
这不是这个团里 It's not the sort of thing
经常会发生的事 that used to happen in this regiment.
不生气 我能承受这点玩笑 No hard feelings. I can take a bit of sport.
我想问 您知道我们要去哪吗 I say, any idea where we're off to?
不知道 None.
你觉得这次要来真的了吗 Do you think it's the real thing?
不会 No.
只是又一次虚张声势 Just another flap?
是的 Yes.
每个人都说我们要打仗了 Everyone's been saying we're for it.
我不知道该怎么想 说真的 I don't know what to think, really.
这经常发生 It happens so often.
我同意 I wouldn't argue with that.
这6个月里有3次 Three times in the last six months.
所有这些演习和训练总显得有点蠢 Seems so silly somehow, all this drill and training
如果我们永远不打仗的话 if we never go into action.
我不担心 胡珀 I shouldn't worry, Hooper.
适当的时候 每个人都会有很多仗打的 There'll be plenty for everyone in time.
哦 我不想打很多 你知道 Oh, I don't want much, you know,
只要能说我参与过就够了 just enough to say I've been in it.

到底发生什么了 What the hell's going on?
我们被喷射液体芥子气[军用毒气]了 We are being sprayed by liquid mustard gas.
那是指挥官的玩笑 It's the C.O.'s joke.
胡珀 你去看看窗户有没有关 Hooper, can you see that the windows are shut?
检查一下有没有伤亡 Check there are no casualties.
然后写一份简短的情况报告给我 And write me a short situation report.
C连还得再开一会 长官 C Company is to drive on for a bit, sir.
走右边的岔道 Take the right fork.
你们会看到路边的(军需物品)临时摆放堆 You'll see a dump post on the road.
早上好 赖德 我能搭一程吗 Morning, Ryder. Can I have a lift?
这显然是个不错的营地 It's not a bad camp, apparently.
巨大的私宅 有两三个湖 Big private house with two or three lakes.
看起来 如果幸运的话 我们也许能抓到一些鸭子 Looks as if we might get some duck if we're lucky.
很棒 坐后面 胡珀 Excellent. In the back, Hooper.
早上好 胡珀 Morning, Hooper.
快速集合 Quick march.
好了 你们下来吧 Right, you lot. Get it moving.
—早上好 军士 —早上好 长官 -Morning, Sergeant. -Morning, sir.
有人知道我们在哪里吗 Does anybody know where we are?
没有官方的 长官 Not officially, sir,
但我听到有人提到了宅子的名字 but I did hear someone mentions the name of the house.
叫做布赖兹赫德 It's a place called Brideshead.
您可以从那里看到 You can see it from over there.
那地方能够建一个很大的营地 Huge great barrack of a place.
谢谢你 军士 忙你的去吧 Thank you, Sergeant. Carry on.
谢谢您 长官 Thank you, sir.
好了 你们 Right, you lot.
加速 快点 At the double. Come on.
那感觉好像有人关掉了无线电 It was as though someone had switched off the wireless
一个曾经在我耳朵里不停地愚蠢地 and a voice that had been bawling in my ears
号叫了无数日子的声音 incessantly, fatuously, for days beyond number
忽然被切断了 had been suddenly cut short.
随之而来的是无边无际的沉默 An immense silence followed,
起初空虚 但逐渐地 被众多的 empty at first but gradually filled with a multitude
甜蜜 自然 长久忘记的声音填满 of sweet, natural, and long-forgotten sounds,
他说出了一个对我而言如此熟悉的名字 for he had spoken a name that was so familiar to me,
拥有古老力量的魔术师的名字 a conjurer's name of such ancient power
只要听到声音 that at its mere sound,
反复回想的过往年岁的幻象 the phantoms of those haunted late years
就开始腾空而起 began to take flight.
你要去哪 胡珀 Where are you off to, Hooper?
B连来解救我们了 B company have relieved us.
我才让小伙子们去洗漱一下 I've just sent the chaps off to get cleaned up.
很好 Good.
旅总部下周过来 Brigade headquarters are coming here next week.
我刚绕着宅子打探了一圈 I've just had a snoop around the house.
我会说很华丽 Very ornate, I'd call it.
还有件奇怪的事 And a queer thing:
里面有个罗马天主教堂 There's a sort of RC church attached to it.
我看了一眼 I had a look in.
里面正在做礼拜 There was a kind of service going on,
只有一个神父和一个老头 just the padre and one old man.
我觉得很尴尬 I felt very awkward.
您比我更适合这种东西 More in your line than mine.
那里还有一个可怕的大喷泉 在后面 There's a frightful great fountain thing too out the back,
全是石头 刻着吹喇叭的老头 all rocks and carved old men with trumpets.
你一定没见过这种东西 You never saw such a thing.
不 胡珀 我见过 Yes, Hooper, I did.
我以前来过这里 I've been here before.
哦 好吧 那你一定完全了解 Oh, well, you'll know all about it, then.
我走了 我去洗漱了 I'll just go and get myself cleaned up.
回见 赖德 See you, Ryder.
我以前去过那里 I had been there before.
我完全了解 I knew all about it.
第一次 是在20多年前 6月的一个万里无云的日子 First with Sebastian more than 20 years ago
和塞巴斯蒂安一起来的 on a cloudless day in June.
那一天也是 我来的时候并不知道目的地就是这里 That day, too, I had come not knowing my destination.
那时的牛津还是一座精雕细刻的城市 Oxford, in those days, was still a city of aquatint.
那时的栗子树开着花 钟声嘹亮而清晰 When the chestnut was in flower and the bells rang out
余音环绕着山墙和穹顶 high and clear over her gables and cupolas,
散发出数百年青春的柔软气息 she exhaled the soft airs of centuries of youth.
这遁世的静谧给我们的笑声带来它的共鸣 It was this cloistral hush that gave our laughter its resonance
在喧嚣之中仍然欢乐地回响 and carried it still joyously over the intervening clamor.
那是八人划船竞赛周的时候 It was Eights Week.
牛津大学每年5月 第3学期第5周的周三至周六举行校内划船比赛 这一周称为八人划船竞赛周
这里来了一群格格不入的女人 Here, discordantly, came a rabble of womankind.
这些侵入者的声响渗透到每一个角落 Echoes of the intruders penetrated every corner,
我的学院也没有例外 and my own college was no exception.
我们要举办一个舞会 We were giving a ball.
早上好 朗特 Morning, Lunt.
早上好 赖德先生 Morning, Mr. Ryder.
啊 谢谢你 Ah, thank you.
没有女伴的男士们 Gentlemen who haven't got ladies
被要求在这几天里 are asked to eat out as far as possible
尽可能远离这里用餐 in the next few days.
你会在这里吃饭吗 Will you be lunching in?
不会 朗特 No, Lunt.
给侍应们一个机会 他们说 To give the servants a chance, they say.
哈 多好的机会 Huh! What a chance!
我还得给女士衣帽间买一个针垫 I've got to buy a pincushion for the ladies' cloakroom.
他们想办舞会做什么 What do they want with dancing?
我不明白意义何在 I don't see the reason in it.
以前在划船周从来没有舞会 There's never been dancing before in Eights Week.
好像茶会和游河还不够一样 As if the teas and the river weren't enough.
如果你问我 先生 这都是因为战争 If you ask me, sir, it's all on account of the war.
如果不是打仗 不可能发生这样的事 It couldn't have happened but for that.
现在 人们傍晚就喝酒 Now, wine in the evening
或者一两位绅士共进午餐 or one or two gentlemen for luncheon,
我能理解原因 I can see the reasoning.
但舞会不是 But not dancing.
这是他们从战场上带回来的 It came in with them back from the war.
他们年纪太大了 They were too old,
他们不知道 他们不愿意学习 they didn't know, and they wouldn't learn.
相信我的话 Take my word.
还有人跑去共济会 And there's some what goes dancing
共济会：出现在18世纪的伦敦 一种带有宗教色彩的兄弟会组织
和镇上的人跳舞 with the town at the Masonic,
但学监会抓到他们的 你看着吧 but the proctor will have them; You'll see.
啊 塞巴斯蒂安爵爷来了 Ah, here's Lord Sebastian.
好吧 我不能站在这聊天了 Well, I mustn't stand here talking,
我得去买针垫了 not with pincushions to get.
早上好 朗特 Good morning, Lunt.
查尔斯 你们学院到底发生什么了 Charles, what in the world is happening at your college?
那是个马戏团吗 Is there a circus?
我看除了大象 什么都有了 I've seen everything except elephants.
我必须得说 整个牛津大学 I must say, the whole of Oxford
忽然变得非常怪异 is becoming very peculiar suddenly.
昨晚 这里到处都是女人 Last night, it was pullulating with women.
你马上跟我离开 远离危险 You're to come away with me at once, out of danger.
我有辆汽车停在外面 还有一篮草莓 I've a motorcar outside, a basket of strawberries,
和一瓶佩拉酒庄的酒 and a bottle of Chateau Peyraguey,
是你没尝过的 所以别装了 which is not a wine you've ever tasted, so don't pretend.
配上草莓犹如天堂 It's heaven with strawberries.
我要去拿上我的东西 I shall go and get my things.
带点钱 万一我们看到什么想买的东西 And bring some money in case we see anything we want to buy.
好的 Yes.
“有人会对一只蝴蝶或者一朵花 "Does anyone feel the same emotion
怀有对一座教堂或者一幅画 "for a butterfly or a flower
同样的感觉吗” as he feels for a cathedral or a picture?"
有的 我就是 Yes. I do.
准备好了吗 Ready?
好了 Yes.
就在那 It's over there.
—现在还早吧 —是的 -Isn't it early? -Yes!
女人们还在做 The women are still doing
她们下楼前做的事 whatever women do before they come downstairs.
懒惰毁了她们 我们走 Sloth has undone them. We're away.
我们去哪 Where are we going?
去见一个朋友 To see a friend.
现在 照顾好阿洛伊修斯 Now, take care of Aloysius.
确保他没有生病 Make sure he isn't sick.
你从哪弄来的这辆车 Where did you get the car?
一位非常忧郁的男人 叫做… Property of a very gloomy man called...
哈德卡斯 Hardcastle.
如果我害死自己了 请你把车剩下的部分还给他 Do please return the bits to him if I kill myself.
我不太擅长开车 I'm not very good at driving.
老天保佑哈德卡斯 God bless Hardcastle!
不管他是谁 Whoever he may be!
他本该和我们一起来的 He was supposed to be coming with us.
哼 我跟他说过10点 Well, I did tell him 10:00.
但他8点还在床上 But he was still in bed at 8:00,
所以我想 “好吧 他不是很热切 so I thought-l thought, "Well, he's not very eager.
还是不带他去比较好” Much kinder to go without him."
哦 我们都不会唱歌 有点遗憾 Oh, it's a pity neither of us can sing.
大概11点的时候 没有提醒我 It was about 11:00 when Sebastian,
塞巴斯蒂安就把车开上一条马车道 停了下来 without warning, turned the car into a cart track and stopped.
我们吃了草莓 喝了酒 We ate the strawberries and drank the wine.
就像塞巴斯蒂安保证的那样 它们合起来非常美味 As Sebastian promised, they were delicious together.
醇香的金色葡萄酒 The fumes of the sweet golden wine
似乎让我们在草坪上 seemed to lift us a finger's breadth
一指高的空中悬浮着 above the turf and hold us suspended.
应该在这里埋下一坛黄金 Just the place to bury a crock of gold.
我应该在每个我开心的地方 I should like to bury something precious
埋下一点珍贵的东西 in every place that I've been happy
这样当我又老又丑又悲惨的时候 so that when I'm old and ugly and miserable,
我可以回来 把它们挖出来 回忆过往 I could come back and dig it up and remember.
这是我大学第三学期的事情 This was my third term at university,
但我认为 我的牛津生活 but I date my Oxford life
始于我和塞巴斯蒂安的初次见面 from my first meeting with Sebastian,
那是一次偶然的相遇 which had happened by chance
发生在第二学期期中的时候 in the middle of the term before.
我们就读于不同的学院 来自不同的中学 We were in different colleges and came from different schools,
所以 我度过三四年的大学时光 so I might well have spent my three or four years
可能永远也不会遇见他 in university and never have met him
如果不是碰巧那一晚 but for the chance of his getting drunk
他在我们学院喝醉 one evening in my college
而我的房间又在四方院 and of my having ground-floor rooms
前院的一楼 in the front quadrangle.
我的堂兄贾斯珀警告过我 一楼的房间是危险的 I had been warned of the dangers of these rooms
当我刚刚进校的时候 只有他 by my cousin Jasper, who alone, when I first came up,
认为我应该接受详细的指导 thought me a subject for detailed guidance.
你读什么专业 So what are you reading?
历史 History.
哦 那是一门非常好的学科 Oh, that's a perfectly respectable school.
最差的是英国文学 The very worst is English Literature.
倒数第二的是现代经学 The next worst is Modern Greats.
现代经学：由哲学 政治学 经济学组成的跨学科课程 牛津大学是首家提供该学位的高等院校
你要么争取一等荣誉学位 要么混个四等 You want either a first or a fourth;
英国大学学位按成绩分为四等 一等荣誉学位 二等荣誉学位 三等荣誉学位和普通学位
中间的等级没有任何价值 There is no value in anything between.
花时间得到二等学位是浪费 Time spent on a good second is time thrown away.
你应该去听最好的讲座 You should go to the very best lectures -
比如阿克莱特关于德摩斯梯尼的 Arkwright on Demosthenes, for instance -
德摩斯梯尼：前384-前322 古雅典雄辩家 民主派政治家
不管它们是不是你们学院的 irrespective of whether they're in your school or not.
着装 就像在乡间别墅里那样穿 Clothes: Dress as you do in a country house.
永远不要穿花呢夹克和法兰绒裤子 Never wear a tweed jacket and flannel trousers.
总是穿套装 Always wear a suit.
去找伦敦的裁缝 And go to a London tailor;
他们做的更好 赊账时间也更长 You get better cut and longer credit.
下午好 先生 Good afternoon, sir.
不要像对待中学校长那样对待大学导师 Don't treat dons like schoolmasters.
要像对待家里的牧师那样对待他们 Treat them as you would the vicar at home.
社团 现在加入卡尔顿 Clubs: Join the Carlton now
第二学年初在加入格瑞德 and the Grid at the beginning of your second year.
如果你想竞选参加辩论社 If you want to run for the Union,
主意不错 it's not a bad idea.
首先在外面树立好名声 Make your reputation outside first
通过加入查塔姆或者坎宁 at the Chatham or the Canning.
哦 离野猪山远点 Oh, and keep clear of Boar's Hill.
—下午好 赖德 —你好 -Good afternoon, Ryder. -Hello.
至于朋友 And friends-
查尔斯 一定要注意你交朋友的人 Charles, do watch the people you make friends with.
你会发现自己第二学年 You'll find you spend your second year
都在摆脱你在第一学年 getting rid of the undesirable ones
结交的坏朋友 you made in your first.
哦 小心盎格鲁天主教 Oh, and beware of Anglo-Catholics.
他们都是口音难听的鸡奸者 They're all sodomites with unpleasant accents.
其实 要和所有的宗教团体保持距离 In fact, steer clear of all religious groups.
他们只会造成伤害 They do nothing but harm.
我要问 你来的时候这个就在这了吗 I say, was this here when you arrived?
不是 那是我的 No, it's mine.
我挂上去的 I put it up.
是梵·高的画 It's Van Gogh.
真的吗 Really?
这很漂亮 This is very pretty.
好吧 我得走了 Well, I must be off.
半点时我在公用室有个会 I've got a JCR meeting at half past.
哦 顺便一说 最后一点 Oh, by the way, one last point.
换个房间 Change your rooms.
但我能分到这里很幸运 But I was lucky to get them.
前院一楼的房间 Ground-floor rooms on the front quad.
极度危险 我见到过住这里的人堕落 Terribly dangerous. I've seen men ruined.
人们开始顺道走进来 People start dropping in.
他们把外衣留在这里 They leave their gowns here
然后在去礼堂的路上来拿 then pick them up on the way to hall.
然后你就开始请他们喝雪莉酒 Then you'll start giving them sherry.
在你意识到自己还在念书之前 你已经给学院里的坏学生 Before you know where you are, you'll have opened a free bar
开免费酒吧很久了 to all the undesirables in the college.
我不知道 I do not know
自己有没有自觉遵守过任何一条建议 that I ever consciously followed any of this advice.
但我肯定没有换过房间 I certainly never changed my rooms.
窗下生长着紫罗兰 There were gillyflowers growing below the windows,
夏日傍晚 芬芳满屋 which on summer evenings, filled them with fragrance.
但那是现代美学的 But that's the complete fallacy
彻底谬误 查尔斯 of modern aesthetics, Charles.
你看不出来吗 Can't you see?
你是说 蕴意形式的整个论据 You mean, the whole argument of significant form
是否成立 取决于数量 stands or falls by volume?
正是如此 Precisely.
如果你允许塞尚 If you allow Cezanne to represent a third dimension

埃德温·亨利·兰塞尔：1802-1873 英国画家 以描绘狗和鹿的感性作品而闻名
在西班牙猎犬眼中画出忠诚的目光 in the spaniel's eye.
我最早的朋友有柯林斯 My earliest friends were Collins -
一个温彻斯特校友 未来的导师 a Wykehamist and an embryo don,
拥有广博阅识和童真幽默的人 a man of solid reading and childlike humor -
还有一小群学院知识分子 and a small circle of college intellectuals
他们在华丽唯美主义者和无产阶级学者 who maintained a middle course of culture
之间保持着文化的中立路线 between the flamboyant aesthetes and the proletarian scholars.
第一学期 我在这群人中间 It was by this circle that I found myself adopted
感受到被接纳 during my first term.
他们给我提供了我在六年级时 They provided the kind of company I had enjoyed
拥有的那种陪伴 in the sixth form at school
这种陪伴让我(为大学生活)做好准备 and for which the sixth form had prepared me.
但就算在刚入学的日子里 But even in the earliest days,
有自己的房间和支票簿 when the whole business of living at Oxford
当在牛津的全部生活 with rooms of my own and my own checkbook
还是一种兴奋时 was a source of excitement,
我内心觉得 I felt at heart
这不是牛津能提供的全部 that this was not all which Oxford had to offer.
我在认识塞巴斯蒂安之前很久就见过他 I knew Sebastian by sight long before I met him.
那是难免的 因为从他入学第一周开始 That was unavoidable, for from his first week,
就是他们年级最引人注目的 he was the most conspicuous man of his year
这是由于他引人注意的美丽 by reason of his beauty, which was arresting,
和他似乎没有限制的 and his eccentricities of behavior,
古怪的行为 which seemed to know no bounds.
我第一次见到他是在杰莫理发店门口 My first sight of him was in the door of Germer's,
那一次 相比于他的外貌 and on that occasion, I was struck less by his looks
我更震惊于他拿着一只很大的泰迪熊 than by the fact that he was carrying a large teddy bear.
—十足的表现狂 —嗯 -Sheer exhibitionism. -Hmm.
那是塞巴斯蒂安·弗莱特爵爷 一个非常有趣的年轻人 That was Lord Sebastian Flyte, a most amusing young gentleman.
显然 Apparently.
这边 先生 This way, sir.
他是马奇曼侯爵的次子 He's the Marquess of Marchmain's second boy.
他哥哥 布赖兹赫德伯爵 His brother, the Earl of Brideshead,
上学期走了 went down last term.
哦 他也很特别 很像个老人家 Oh, he was very different, quite like an old man.
你猜塞巴斯蒂安爵爷来做什么 What do you suppose Lord Sebastian wanted?
给他的泰迪熊找一把毛刷 A hairbrush for his teddy bear.
必需得有很硬的刚毛 It had to have very stiff bristles.
塞巴斯蒂安爵爷说 那不是用来给他刷毛的 Not, Lord Sebastian said, to brush him with
而是在他生闷气时用来恐吓打他屁股的 but to threaten him with a spanking when he was sulky.
他买了一把很好的象牙背梳子 He bought a very nice one with an ivory back,
他还让人在上面刻了“阿洛伊修斯” and he's going to have "Aloysius" engraved on it.
那只泰迪熊的名字 That's the teddy bear's name.
那个理发师活了这么久 有足够的机会 The barber, who, in his time, had had ample chance
消除对大学生的幻想 to tire of undergraduate fantasy,
很明显也被他迷住了 was plainly captivated by him.
而我保持着挑剔的态度 I, however, remained censorious.
随后几次的相遇并没有让我的态度有所缓和 And subsequent glimpses of him did not soften me,
尽管正在阅读弗洛伊德的柯林斯 although Collins, who was reading Freud,
有很多专业术语来解释一切 had a number of technical terms to cover everything.
我们最终的见面 Nor, when at last we met,
情况也不合适 were the circumstances propitious.
以下讨论关于形而上学的理论
一旦我们把几率归纳为数学公式 Once we reduce chance to a mathematical formula,
我们可以使其服从于可能性的管制 we may subject it to the rules of probability.
而且 实际上 我们抢劫几率本身 因此 And, indeed, we rob chance itself, therefore,
几率的元素 如果你知道我的意思 of the element of chance, which, if you see what I mean,
一定是非常坚固逻辑的解答 must seem a solution of quite impregnable logic.
—哦 非常好 —绝佳的论文 -Oh, very good. -Excellent paper.
非常好 Very good.
非常感谢你们 Thank you very much.
有一个问题 There was a question?
我只是想问 如果数学的规律 I wanted simply to ask if the laws of mathematics
可以用原因来理解 can be understood by reason -
我想我可以预测你的问题 I think I can anticipate your question.
如果可能性存在于几率本身存在的 If the possibility exists that chance itself exists
理性宇宙中 那么几率的运作 in a rational universe, then the workings of chance
一定可以用理性过程解释 must be explained by rational processes.
如果我们相信上帝创造了这个理性世界 If we believe that God created this rational world,
那么非常可能地相信 then it's perfectly possible to believe -
那些讨厌的人是谁 Who are those awful people?
他们在这干什么 What are they doing in there?
我说看起来像一个该死的祷告集会 Looks like a bloody prayer meeting to me.
听着 如果根本上是上帝 Look, if God is ultimately responsible
构建了牛顿重力规则 for formulating Newton's law of gravity,
我的论点是 祂可能没有 may He not, so runs my argument,
使用被我们称为几率的无限事例 fulfill His purpose by using the infinite instances
实现祂的目的 which we call chance?
那么我们是不是应该说 Shouldn't we say, then,
几率是我们在这个理性宇宙的 that chance is the very basic principle
生活中最基本的原则 of our life in this rational univer-

我猜你要出去吃午饭了吧 先生 I take it you're lunching out, sir.
我已经跟柯林斯先生和帕特里奇先生这么说了 I told Mr. Collins and Mr. Partridge so.
他们原本打算和往常一样在你这里吃的 They wanted to take their commons in here with you.
是的 朗特 出去吃 Yes, Lunt. Lunching out.

我迟疑不决 因为那是陌生的地方 I went there uncertainly, for it was foreign ground,

都先去拿千鸟蛋 he made first for the plovers' eggs
然后才注意到塞巴斯蒂安 再然后才是我 then noticed Sebastian and then myself
带着礼貌的无趣 似乎在对我说 with a polite lack of curiosity which seemed to say,
“我们做梦也不敢冒昧地暗示你 "We should not dream of being so offensive as to suggest
我们从未见过呢” that you never met us before."
我说 千鸟蛋 I say, plovers' eggs.

看着他嘴唇里吐出的烟气飘进枝桠 watching the smoke from his lips drift into the branches.
你还没有告诉我 我们要去哪里 You still haven't told me where we're going.

我想带你见见霍金斯奶奶[保姆] I want you to meet Nanny Hawkins.
这就是我们来这的目的 That's what we've come for.
好吧 这真是个惊喜 Well, this is a surprise.
他是谁 我想我不认识他 Who's this? I don't think I know him.

朱丽娅今天来了 Julia's here for the day.
她陪了我将近一早上 She was up with me nearly all the morning,
跟我说伦敦的事 telling me about London.
他们玩得真开心 Such a time they're all having.
你一定正好错过了她 You must have just missed her.
是那个保守妇女会 It's the Conservative women.
她不会待很久的 She won't be long.
她演讲完就会立刻离开 在下午茶之前 She's leaving immediately after her speech, before the tea.
恐怕我们要再次错过她了 奶奶 I'm afraid we may miss her again, Nanny.
哦 别这样 亲爱的 Oh, don't do that, dear.
见到你 她一定会很惊喜的 It'll be such a surprise to her, seeing you,
虽然她应该等喝完下午茶再走 though she ought to wait for the tea.
我跟她说 保守妇女会就是为了喝下午茶来的 I told her, it's what the Conservative women come for.
好吧 有什么新闻 Well, what's the news?
你在认真念书吗 Are you studying hard at your books?
恐怕不是很认真 奶奶 Not very, I'm afraid, Nanny.

但他也找时间学习了 He found time to study too, though.
哦 你看过报纸上那篇关于朱丽娅的文章了吗 Oh, did you see that piece about Julia in the paper?

度假纪念品 the souvenirs of many holidays.
现在是喝下午茶的时候了 Presently, it was time for tea.
听着 奶奶 我们恐怕不能留下来喝茶了 Look, Nanny, I'm afraid we can't stay for tea.

可怜的奶奶 Poor Nanny.
她的生活如此无聊 She does lead such a dull life.
我有个好主意 带她和我一起去牛津 I've a good mind to bring her to Oxford to live with me,
但她一定总会试着送我去教堂 only she'd always be trying to send me to church.
我们得在我妹妹回来之前赶紧走 We must go quickly before my sister gets back.
你为谁感到羞耻 她还是我 Who are you ashamed of, her or me?
我为自己感到羞耻 I'm ashamed of myself.
我不会让你和我的家人混到一起 I'm not going to let you get mixed up with my family.
他们太迷人了 They're so madly charming.
我的一生中 他们都在夺走我的东西 All my life, they've been taking things away from me.
如果他们用魅力迷住了你 If they once got hold of you with their charm,
他们就会把你变成他们的朋友 而不是我的 they'd make you their friend and not mine,
而我不会让他们这么做的 and I won't let them.
好吧 All right.
我非常高兴 I'm perfectly content.
但我们不去看看这间房子的其他地方吗 But aren't we going to see some more of the house?
都关着呢 我们是来见奶奶的 It's all shut up. We came to see Nanny.
在亚历山德拉王后日 这里都会开放 门票只要一先令 On Queen Alexandra's day, it's all open for a shilling.
如果你想的话 过来看吧 Come and look, if you want to.
都是这样的 你看 Well, it's all like this, you see.
没什么好看的 Nothing to see.
有些漂亮的东西 哪一天我想带你看看 A few pretty things I'd like to show you some day.
不是现在 Not now.
但那里有个小教堂 你一定要看看 But there's the chapel. You must see that.
走这边 This way.
你为什么要那么做 Why'd you do that?
只是出于礼貌 Just good manners.
好吧 你不需要为了我这样做 Well, you needn't on my account.
所以你想参观一下 So you wanted to do sightseeing.
你觉得这里怎么样 What do you think of this?
天哪 Golly.
爸爸为妈妈修复的 Papa had it restored for Mama.

布赖兹赫德总是能影响我 Brideshead often has that effect on me.
但我得带你见见奶奶 But I had to take you to see Nanny.
我可没有一直问你的家人 I don't keep asking you questions about your family.
我也没有问你啊 Neither do I about yours.
但你看起来很想问 But you look so inquisitive.
你对他们太神秘了 You're so mysterious about them.
我倒希望我对一切都很神秘 I'd hoped I was mysterious about everything.
可能我的确对别人的家庭感到好奇 Perhaps I am rather curious about people's families.
你看 我对家庭知道的很少 You see, it's not a thing I know much about.

现在 和塞巴斯蒂安度过的那个夏季学期 Now, that summer term with Sebastian,
好像我获得了一个短暂的魔法 it seemed as though I was being given a brief spell
感受到了我从不知道的 快乐的童年 of what I had never known, a happy childhood.
尽管这个童年的玩具是丝绸衬衣 And though its toys were silk shirts
烈性甜酒和雪茄 and liqueurs and cigars
而且它的顽皮高居严重罪孽的名录之上 and its naughtiness high in the catalog of grave sins,
我们有着某种孩童般的清新 there was something of a nursery freshness about us
这种快乐纯真无暇 that fell little short of the joy of innocence.
那个学期快结束的时候 我第一次参加(大学)考试 Towards the end of that term, I took my first exams.
如果我还想留在牛津 考试一定得通过 It was necessary to pass if I was to remain at Oxford,
我最终通过了 and pass I did
在那一周 我禁止塞巴斯蒂安进入我房间 after a week in which I forbade Sebastian my rooms
就着冰黑咖啡和炭烤饼干 and sat up to a late hour with iced black coffee
学习到深夜 and charcoal biscuits,
将忘记的课文塞满脑袋 cramming myself with neglected texts.
我现在一个音节也记不得了 I remember no syllable of them now,
但其他的 我在那学期获得的古老之爱 but the other, more ancient love which I acquired that term
会以这样那样的形式继续陪伴着我 will be with me in one shape or another

那学期的结尾也正好是我堂兄贾斯珀 The end of that term was also the occasion of the last visit
最后一次拜访 并郑重劝诫我 and grand remonstrance of my cousin Jasper.
我刚刚好没课了 I was just free of the schools, having taken
前一天才考完历史的最后一门 the last paper of History previous the day before.

我不知道叔叔给了你多少零用钱 I don't know what sort of allowance my uncle makes you,
但你一定花了两倍那么多 but you must be spending double.
那个付过钱了吗 Is that paid for?
那些呢 Or these?
还有这个特别恶心的东西 Or this peculiarly noisome object?
付了 我买那个骷髅付的是现金 Yes, I had to pay cash for the skull.
还有你的穿着 And your clothes.
你现在穿的好像是糟糕地混杂着 Your present getup seems an unhappy compromise
去参加梅登赫德 between the correct wear
戏剧节的衣服 for a theatrical garden party in Maidenhead
和去郊区花园参加欢乐合唱比赛的衣服 and a glee singing competition in a garden suburb.
我很抱歉这让你不舒服了 I'm sorry if it disturbs you.
还有喝酒 And drink!
没有人会介意一个男人一学期喝醉一两次 No one minds a man getting tight once or twice a term.
其实 在某些特定的场合 他理应喝醉 In fact, he ought to, on certain occasions.
但你 我亲爱的查尔斯 But you, my dear Charles,
经常有人看到你下午就喝醉了 are constantly seen drunk in the middle of the afternoon!
我想那是我的私事 贾斯珀 I think that's my affair, Jasper.
听着 查尔斯 Look, Charles,
我预感到你第一学期 I expected you to make mistakes
会犯错 in your first year.
我们都会 We all do.
我曾经和几个非常讨厌的基督教联盟成员 I got in with some thoroughly objectionable
混在一起 他们在长假期间 Christian Union men who ran a mission to hop-pickers
为啤酒花采摘工人传教 during the long vac.
但你 我亲爱的查尔斯 不管你有没有意识到 But you, my dear Charles, whether you realize it or not,
已经径直走向 勾搭上 共沉沦 have gone hook, line, and sinker
和这所大学里最差劲的那群人 to the very worst set in the university.
所以这就是你担心的 So that's what's worrying you.
好吧 安东尼·布兰奇 Well, Anthony Blanche.
这是你没有任何理由结交的人 There's a man there's absolutely no excuse for.
我自己也不太喜欢他 I don't particularly like him myself.
哼 很明显他总是在这里转悠 Well, he's certainly always hanging about here.
你知道 学院里的强硬派不喜欢他 You realize, the stiffer element in college don't like it.
他们忍受不了他的存在 They won't stand for him at the house.
昨晚 他们把他丢进了水星喷泉 They threw him in Mercury last night.
我听说了 I heard.
你可能觉得 我住在自己的宿舍里 You may think that living in digs,
不会知道你们学院里正在发生什么 I don't know what goes on in college,
但我听说了 but I hear things.
实际上 我听说了很多 In fact, I hear too much.
我发现我成为晚宴俱乐部[定期聚餐演讲] I find I've become a figure of mockery
你讲述时调侃的对象 on your account at the Dining Club.
然后就是塞巴斯蒂安·弗莱特那家伙 And then there's that chap Sebastian Flyte
你似乎和他形影不离 you seem inseparable from.
好吧 也许他没什么 我不知道 Well, he may be all right; I don't know.
他哥哥 布赖兹赫德 是一个非常聪明的家伙 His brother, Brideshead, was a very sound fellow.
但你的这个朋友 在我看来很奇怪 But this friend of yours, well, he looks odd to me,
他让自己成为谈资 and he gets himself talked about.
对不起 贾斯珀 I'm sorry, Jasper.
我知道这一定让你很尴尬 I know it must be embarrassing for you,
但我就是喜欢这群坏人 but I happen to like this bad set.
我喜欢吃午饭时喝醉 I like getting drunk at luncheon.
尽管我现在还没有 And although I haven't quite spent
花掉零用钱的双倍 double my allowance yet,
但毫无疑问 学期末我一定能花到 I undoubtedly shall by the end of term.
你要一起吗 Will you join me?
这时候我经常会喝一杯香槟 I usually have a glass of champagne about this time.
如果你留下来 可能会遇到讨厌的布兰奇先生 If you stay, you might meet the despicable Mr. Blanche.
我今晚和他一起吃晚饭 I'm dining with him tonight.
不了 谢谢你 No, thank you.
周一我有《希腊历史与道德》考试 I have Greek History and Morals on Monday.
所以我的堂兄贾斯珀绝望了 So my cousin Jasper despaired.
回首过往 Looking back,
如果重新选择 没有什么我要不去做或者去做的事 there is little I would have left undone or done otherwise.
可能现在我能够达到 Perhaps now I could match
我堂兄贾斯珀斗鸡般的成熟了 my cousin Jasper's gamecock maturity
通过一只更强壮的斗鸟 with a sturdier fowl.
我可以告诉他 与另一个人相知相爱 I could tell him that to know and love one other human being
是所有智慧的根本 is the root of all wisdom.
两杯给你 Two for you...
两杯给我 and two for me.
啧 啧 Yum, yum.
我以为你会更喜欢雪莉酒 I expect you would prefer sherry,
但是 我亲爱的查尔斯 but, my dear Charles,
你喝不到雪莉酒了 you are not going to have sherry.
你要尝尝这杯美味的调制酒 You're going to try this delicious concoction instead.
这是什么 What is it?
白兰地亚历山大 Brandy Alexander.
你不喜欢吗 You don't like it?
那我替你喝了吧 Then I'll drink it for you.
一 One.
二 Two.
三 Three.
四 Four.
顺着喉咙都下去咯 Down the little red lane they go.
那些学生怎么都盯着我 How the students stare.
我不惊讶 安东尼 I'm not surprised, Anthony.
我现在不怎么同情那些 I'm a little out of sympathy with the undergraduates
本科生 for the moment.
这就是为什么我们要在泰姆吃饭 That's why we're dining at Thame.
—还有谁要来 —没有了 -Who else is coming? -No one.
今晚就我们两个 I've got you to myself tonight.
那有家很棒的酒店 很幸运 There's a delightful hotel there which, luckily,
还没有引起布灵顿社团核心成员的注意 doesn't appeal to the hearties of the Bullingdon.
你听说了他们昨晚对我做了什么吗 You heard what they did to me last night?
是的 我… Yes, I -
那太过分了 it's too naughty.
据我所知 那不是第一次 It was not, I knew, the first time
安东尼被人丢进水里 that Anthony had been ducked.
但那个意外似乎让他无法释怀 But the incident seemed much on his mind.
我不想让他们变得太暴力 I didn't want them to start getting rough,
所以我平和地对他们说 “亲爱的 可爱的乡巴佬 so I said to them pacifically, "Dear, sweet clodhoppers,
如果你们对性心理有一点了解 "if you knew anything of sexual psychology,
你们就会知道没什么比你们这些 "you would know that nothing could give me keener pleasure
小胖子的粗暴行为让我更快活了 "than to be manhandled by you meaty boys.
最下流的那种迷幻感觉 "Ecstasy of the naughtiest kind.
如果你们中的任何人希望成为我的愉悦伴侣 "If any of you wishes to be my partner in joy,
那就过来抓我吧 "then come and seize me.
另外 如果你们想满足某种隐晦的 "If, on the other hand, you wish to satisfy some obscure
不容易分类的性欲 "and less easily classified libido,
那就跟我安静地下水吧” then come with me quietly to the water."
所以我就跳进喷泉 So I just got in the fountain,
你知道吗 那真的非常清爽 and, do you know, it really was rather refreshing.
所以我在那玩了一会 摆出高傲的姿态 So I sported there and struck some attitudes.
哦 北方人真讨厌[法语] Oh, la fatigue du Nord!
你没法想象 这样不愉快的事情 Now, you can't imagine an unpleasantness like that
发生在塞巴斯蒂安身上 不是吗 happening to Sebastian, can you?
—是啊 我不能 —是吧 -No, I can't. -No.
塞巴斯蒂安有魅力 好有魅力 Sebastian has charm, such charm.
当然 你认识他的时间没有我长 Of course, you haven't known him as long as I have.
你认识他多久了 安东尼 How long have you known him, Anthony?
我们一起上的中学 I was at school with him.
你可能不相信 但那时候 You wouldn't believe it, but in those days,
大家总是说他是个小贱人 people used to say he was a little bitch.
我们其他人经常被打 The rest of us were constantly being beaten
因为最琐碎的借口 被最凶狠地毒打 in the most savage way on the most frivolous pretexts,
但塞巴斯蒂安从没有过 but never Sebastian.
我现在还能看到15岁的他 I can see him now at the age of 15.
他从来没有长过粉刺 你知道吗 He never had spots, you know.
博伊·马卡斯特好像得了淋巴结核 Boy Mulcaster was positively scrofulous,
但塞巴斯蒂安没有 but not Sebastian.
还是他有一个很顽固的 Or did he have one rather a stubborn one
长在他脖子后面 at the back of his neck?
是的 现在我想起来了 他有一个 Yes, now I think of it, he did.
那喀索斯还有一个脓包呢 Narcissus with one pustule.
那喀索斯：古希腊神话中的美少年 爱上自己水中的影子 赴水求欢溺水死亡
你知道 他和我都是天主教徒 You know, he and I were both Catholics,
所以我们经常一起做弥撒 so we used to go to mass together.
他总是在忏悔室花很多时间 He used to spend such time in the confessional,
我曾经好奇他有什么要说 I used to wonder what he had to say,
因为他从来没有做过任何错事 because he never did anything wrong, never quite.
至少他从来没有受过罚 At least he never got punished.
也许他只是借此变得更加有魅力吧 Perhaps he was just being charming through the grill.
我跟科克托说过你 I told Cocktail all about you.
他非常想了解你 He's absolutely agog.
你看 我亲爱的查尔斯 你非常与众不同 You see, my dear Charles, you are that very rare thing:
一位艺术家 An artist.
但谁赏识你呢 But who recognizes you?
那一天 我跟塞巴斯蒂安说 The other day, I told Sebastian
你画画就像一个年轻的安格尔 that you drew like a young lngres.
让·奥古斯特·多米尼克·安格尔：1780-1876 法国新古典主义画家 美学理论家 教育家
你知道他说了什么吗 And do you know what he said?
“是啊 阿洛伊修斯也画得很漂亮 "Yes, Aloysius draws very prettily too,
但当然 他的风格更现代” but of course, he's rather more modern."
多么迷人 多么有趣 So charming, so amusing.
你希望塞巴斯蒂安和我们一起吗 Do you wish Sebastian was with us?
—没有 —你当然有 -No. -Of course you do.
我呢 我不-不-不知道 And do I? I w-w-wonder.
嗯 我们的都在想那个迷人的小可爱 Hmm, how our thoughts do run on that little bundle of charm,
这是肯定的 to be sure.
我觉得你一定催眠了我 查尔斯 I think you must be mesmerizing me, Charles.
我带你来这 以相当大的代价 I bring you here, at very considerable expense,
只是为了聊聊我自己 simply to talk about myself,
而我发现 我只聊了塞巴斯蒂安 and I find I talk of no one except Sebastian.
这很奇怪 因为他并没有什么神秘的 It's odd, because there's really no mystery about him,
除了他怎么会出生在那样一个邪恶的家庭 except how he came to be born of such a very sinister family.
当一个人说到父母时 It's when one gets to the parents
就打开了一个无底洞 that a bottomless pit opens.
我亲爱的 那一对夫妻啊 My dear, such a pair.
他们结婚了差不多15年 They were married for 15 years or so,
然后马奇曼爵爷去战场了 and then Lord Marchmain went off to war.
他再也没有回来 He never came back
但和一个天赋很高的舞者有了关系 but formed a connection with a highly talented dancer.
她为什么不和他离婚 Why doesn't she divorce him?
因为她太虔诚了 Because she's so pious.
我亲爱的 你可能会觉得那个老无赖 My dear, you would think that old reprobate
折磨她 偷走她的遗产 had tortured her; Stolen her patrimony;
把她赶出家门 Flung her out of doors;
把她的孩子们塞满馅料 烤熟 吃掉 Roasted, stuffed, and eaten her children;
然后在所多玛与蛾摩拉 And gone frolicking about wreathed in all the flowers
所多玛与蛾摩拉：圣经中 因罪恶深重而被神毁灭的两座城市]
的花丛中寻欢作乐 of Sodom and Gomorrah.
她是个吸血虫 我亲爱的 一个吸-吸血虫 She's a bloodsucker, my dear, a b-bloodsucker.
你能在她所有的受害者身上看到牙印 You can see the tooth marks on all her victims.
那是巫术 没有其他解释 It's witchcraft. There's no other explanation.
所以 你看 我们不能全怪塞巴斯蒂安 So, you see, we mustn't altogether blame Sebastian.
为什么 For what?
因为他似乎有点无趣 For seeming a little insipid.
但是 当然 你不-不怪塞巴斯蒂安 But then, of course, you d-don't blame Sebastian,
是吧 查尔斯 do you, Charles?
有着那样阴暗的(家庭)背景 他还能怎么做 With that very murky background, what could he do
除了保持单纯和迷人呢 except set up as being simple and charming,
尤其是他的脑子还不是那么聪明 particularly as he isn't very well endowed in the top story.
我们不能过分要求他 是吧 查尔斯 We couldn't claim that for him, could we, Charles,
我们这么爱他 much as we love him?
坦白讲 Tell me candidly,
你听到塞巴斯蒂安说过的话里 have you ever heard Sebastian say anything
有什么是你超过五分钟还记得的 嗯 that you have remembered for more than five minutes, hmm?
你知道 当我听他说话的时候 You know, when I hear him talk,
我就会想起那幅恶心的画《空泡》 I'm reminded of that nauseating picture Bubbles.
英国画家约翰·埃弗瑞特·米莱斯所作 金发小孩吹肥皂泡的名画 后被数家公司用作香皂的广告宣传
对话应该像杂耍 Conversation should be like juggling.
把球和盘子往上扔 Up go the balls and plates,
上上下下 里里外外 在脚灯下发光 up and over, in and out, glittering in the footlights.
但当亲爱的塞巴斯蒂安说话时 But when dear Sebastian speaks,
就像一个小小的肥皂泡 it is like a little sphere of soapsud
从一根古老的陶管末端飘出 drifting off the end of an old clay pipe,
一瞬间充满彩虹之光 full of rainbow light for a second
然后… 噗 and then... fft!
消失了 什么都没有留下 Vanished with nothing left at all.
什么都没有 Nothing.
我们走吧 安东尼 Shall we go, Anthony?
什么时候了 What's the time?
9点过了 我让你一直睡着 It's after 9:00. I let you lie in.
我觉得你不会去参加领圣餐仪式 I didn't think you'd be going to corporate communion.
你完全正确 朗特 And you were absolutely right, Lunt.
那是那学期 也是那学年的最后一个周日 It was the last Sunday of term, the last of the year.
我离开时接近11点 走在路上的时候 It was nearly 11:00 when I left, and during my walk,
我听到整个小镇的钟声都停了 I heard the change ringing cease and, all over the town,
取而代之的是单一的谐钟之音 提醒整座城市 give place to the single chime which warned the city
仪式即将开始 that service was about to start.
那天早晨出门的除了常去教堂的 没有其他人 None but churchgoers seemed abroad that morning,
在他们去圣巴拿巴斯教堂 圣哥伦布教堂 圣阿洛伊修斯教堂 on their way to St. Barnabas, St. Columba, St. Aloysius,
圣玛丽教堂 蒲赛礼堂 黑衣修士院的路上 St. Mary's, Pusey House, Blackfriars,
都笼罩在夏日阳光之下 all in the summer sunshine,
走向各种民族的神殿 going to the temples of their race.
只有四个异教徒宣告了他们的异议 Four proud infidels alone proclaimed their dissent,
四个从贝列尔学院大门走出来的印度人 four lndians from the gates of Balliol
走向河边 making for the river.
穿过虔诚者的世界 So through a world of piety,
我去找塞巴斯蒂安了 I made my way to Sebastian.
你好 Hello.
我去做弥撒了 I've been to mass.
我知道妈咪一直在给贝尔主教写信 I knew Mummy'd been writing to Monsignor Bell.
他上周两次请我去吃晚饭 He's asked me to dinner twice last week.
所以(今天)我猛地坐在前面 So I sat bang in the front
大喊 万福玛利亚 and absolutely shouted the Hail Marys.
我很高兴那结束了 I'm glad that's over.
所以你和安托万[安东尼]的晚餐如何 So how was dinner with Antoine?
你们聊了什么 What did you talk about?
呃 大部分是他在说 Well, he did most of the talking.
那不奇怪 That's not unusual.
你在伊顿公学时认识他吗 Did you know him at Eton?
不太熟 Hardly.
我第一学期时 他就被开除了 He was sacked in my first half.
但我记得见过他几次 Though I do remember seeing him about a bit.
他和你一起去教堂吗 Did he go to church with you?
没有吧 为什么问 Don't think so. Why?
他见过你的家人吗 Has he met any of your family?
查尔斯 你今天好奇怪 Charles, how very peculiar you're being today.
没有 我想没有 No, I don't suppose so.
你为什么这么感兴趣 So why all this interest?
呃 我… Well, I'm-
我在试着找出他昨晚说的话里 I was trying to find out how much truth there was
有多少是真的 in what he said last night.
很少 我觉得 Very little, I should think.
那就是他的魅力 That's his great charm.
好吧 也许你觉得这有魅力 Well, you may think it charming.
但我觉得很可怕 I think it's devilish.
你知道他昨晚大部分时候都在 Do you know he spent most of last evening
试着让我不喜欢你吗 trying to turn me against you?
而且他差点就成功了 And he almost succeeded.
是吗 Did he?
好傻 How silly.
阿洛伊修斯不会赞同那一切的 Aloysius would not have approved of that at all.
是吧 爱炫的老熊 Would you, you pompous old bear?
长假到来 The long vacation came,
塞巴斯蒂安消失在他的另一半生活当中 and Sebastian disappeared into that other life of his
不让我同行 where I was not asked to follow.
我被丢下了 孤独而懊悔 I was left, instead, forlorn and regretful.
我回到我父亲的家 没有计划 I returned to my father's house without plans
也没有钱 and without money.
我面对着惨淡的前景 I faced a bleak prospect.
我在银行透支了 I was overdrawn at the bank,
没有我父亲的授权 我不能再取钱 and without my father's authority, I could draw no more.
我亲爱的儿子 他们没告诉我你回来了 My dear boy, they never told me you were here.
您好 父亲 Hello, Father.
你的旅途是不是很劳累 Did you have a very exhausting journey?
他们给你喝茶了吗 They gave you tea?
是的 阿贝尔女士给我倒了一些 Yes, Mrs. Abel brought me some.
你还好吗 You're well?

没有 我买到了一个角落的位置 No, I managed to get a corner seat.
很好 Good.
黑特给你拿了晚报 Hayter brought you the evening paper.
没有新闻 当然 都是一堆废话 No news, of course. Such a lot of nonsense.
你想喝什么 What do you like to drink?
黑特 我们有什么可以给查尔斯先生喝 Hayter, what have we for Mr. Charles to drink?
有些威士忌 There's some whisky.
有威士忌 可能你想喝点别的 There's whisky. Perhaps you like something else?
我们还有什么 What else have we?
家里没有别的了 老爷 There isn't anything else in the house, sir.
没有别的了 There's nothing else.
你一定要告诉黑特你喜欢什么 You must tell Hayter what you would like,
他会买回来的 and he will get it in.
我现在不存酒了 I never keep any wine now.
我不能喝 也没人来看我 I am forbidden it, and no one comes to see me.
但你在家的时候 一定要喝你想喝的 But while you are here, you must have what you like.
你会在家待很久吗 You are here for long?
我不太确定 父亲 I'm not quite sure, Father.
这是个很长的假期 It's a very long vacation.
在我那时候 我们会去所谓的读书会 In my day, we used to go on what was called reading parties,
一般在山区 always in mountainous areas.
为什么 为什么高山风景被认为有利于学习 Why? Why should alpine scenery be thought conducive to study?
我想过去艺术学校学习一段时间 I had thought of putting in some time at an art school.
我亲爱的儿子 你会发现它们都关门了 My dear boy, you'll find them all shut.
学生们都去巴比松 The students go to Barbizon or such places

好多狗屁 Such a lot of nonsense.
我想现在应该还在 I expect they still go on.
你可以试试那个 You might try that.
假期的一个问题 父亲 One of the problems of the vacation, Father,
是钱 is money.
哦 我在你的年纪 不会担心那个 Oh, I shouldn't worry about a thing like that at your age.
您看 我现在没什么钱了 You see, I've run rather short.
是吗 Yes?
其实 我不知道我要怎么度过 In fact, I don't know how I'm going to get through
接下来两个月 the next couple of months.
好吧 我是最不合适寻求建议的人 Well, I'm the worst person to come to for advice.
我从来不缺钱 像你说的那么痛苦 I've never been short, as you so painfully call it.
你还能怎么说呢 And yet what else could you say?
拮据 贫穷 贫困 Hard up? Penurious? Distressed?
窘迫 身无分文 破产 Embarrassed? Stoney-broke? On the rocks?
陷入经济困境 In Queer Street?

他连续好几小时待在书房 He spent hours on end in his study.
偶尔 我会听到他出来 Now and again, I would hear him go out,
有时半小时 或者更少 sometimes for half an hour or less,
有时是一整天 sometimes for a whole day.
啊 所以你在这里 Ah, so there you are.
很好 很好 Splendid, splendid.
今天好热 好热 Very warm today, very warm.

他从来不解释他在干什么 His errands were never explained.
晚餐的餐桌是我们的战场 The dinner table was our battlefield.
我真的觉得 查尔斯 你可以跟我聊聊 I do think, Charles, you might talk to me.
我过了非常疲惫的一天 I've had a very exhausting day.
我很期待聊一会 I was looking forward to a little conversation.
当然 父亲 Of course, Father.
我们要聊什么 What shall we talk about?

一个年轻人整晚整晚 It isn't natural in a young man
都待在家太不正常了 to spend all his evenings at home.
父亲 我告诉过你 Well, Father, as I told you,
我拿不出钱去剧院 I haven't much money to spare for theatergoing.
我亲爱的儿子 你不能让钱 My dear boy, you must not allow money
以这种方式掌控你 to become your master in this way.
为什么 在你的年纪 你堂叔梅尔基奥 Why, at your age, your cousin Melchior
已经是一首曲子的联合作者了 was part owner of a musical piece.
那是他少数几个成功经历之一 It was one of his few successful ventures.
你应该去看剧 作为你教育的一部分 You should go to the play as part of your education.
我收到了塞巴斯蒂安的一封信 I received one letter from Sebastian.
信纸和信封都是 It was written on and enveloped in

印着黑色的皇冠和黑色的边框 black-coroneted and black-bordered.
最亲爱的查尔斯 我在书桌后面找到了 Dearest Charles, I found a box of this paper
一盒这种纸 所以我一定要写信给你 at the back of the bureau, so I must write to you,
以悼念我失去的纯真 as I am mourning for my lost innocence.
它似乎从未存在过 It never looked like living.
医生们从一开始就丧失信心 The doctors despaired of it from the start.
很快 我就要去威尼斯了 Soon, I am off to Venice
去和爸爸住在他的罪恶城堡 to stay with Papa in his palace of sin.
我希望你能来 I wish you were coming.
我希望你在那 I wish you were here.
我从来不是一个人 I'm never quite alone.
我的家人一直出现 Members of my family keep turning up

有一天 碰巧有一件武器送上门来 One day, by chance, a weapon came to hand.
我遇到了中学时代的老熟人 叫乔金斯 I met an old acquaintance of school days named Jorkins.
我从来都不太喜欢乔金斯 I never had much liking for Jorkins,
但我热情地和他打招呼 but I greeted him with enthusiasm
还请他来吃晚饭 and asked him to dinner.
我父亲很快就反击了 My father was quick to retaliate.
他给自己制造了一个小小幻想 He made a little fantasy for himself
认为乔金斯应该是美国人 that Jorkins should be an American.
你大老远跑过来 真好 乔金斯先生 So nice of you to come all this way, Mr. Jorkins.
哦 不远 Oh, it isn't far.
真的只有几分钟的路 It's really only a matter of minutes.
啊 科学战胜了距离 Ah. Science annihilates distance.
你过来出差吗 You are over here on business?

我有个堂弟也做过生意 I had a cousin who was in business.
你不认识他 那是很久以前 You wouldn't know him; It was before your time.
那天晚上 我还和查尔斯说起他 I was telling Charles about him only the other night.
我总是想起他 He has been much in my mind.
他惨败了 He came a cropper.
你觉得他的不幸很好笑吗 You find his misfortune a subject for mirth?
或者也许你不熟悉我用的词 Or perhaps you were unfamiliar with the word I used.
come a cropper是英式用语
你无疑会说“破产”吧 You, no doubt, would say "folded up."
好吧 我不知道 Well, I don't know that.
我是说 I mean -
我想 按照你们的标准 I suppose, with your standards,
你会觉得我们这里的生活非常狭小吧 you find our life here very parochial.
我父亲掌控着局面 My father was master of the situation.
但是 也有好戏可看 Nonetheless, there are fine things to see.
整个晚上 他跟他玩着 Throughout the evening, he played
一个微妙的 单方面的室内[猜谜]游戏 a delicate, one-sided parlor game with him,
解释对话中的每一个特殊的 explaining any peculiarly English terms
英式用语 把英镑换算成美元 in the conversation, translating pounds into dollars
以至于我的客人有种隐约的感觉 so that my guest was left with the vague sense
我父亲对他的身份有所误解 that there was a misconception somewhere as to his identity

我是说 如果… I mean, if -
有一次 我觉得我父亲过分了 Only once, I thought my father had gone too far.

我真的得走了 I really have to go.
拜托 Please.
恐怕乔金斯得走了 父亲 I'm afraid Jorkins has to go, Father.
他明早得很早起 He has to be up very early in the morning.
哦 好遗憾 Oh, what a pity.
那就再见了 乔金斯先生 Good-bye then, Mr. Jorkins.
我希望你下一次横跨重洋的时候 I hope that you will pay us another visit
还能来寒舍做客 the next time you cross the herring pond.
再见 赖德先生 谢谢您 Good-bye, Mr. Ryder, and thank you.
我很抱歉我得走了 I'm so sorry I have to leave.
我送他出去 父亲 I'll just see him out, Father.
真是个多才多艺的年轻人 Such a versatile young man.
你最近一定要请他再来一次 You must ask him again soon.
晚安 乔金斯 Good night, Jorkins.
我的朋友们真无趣 What very dull friends I have.
你知道 要不是你在家 You know, without the spur of your presence,
我绝对不会主动邀请他们 I would never have roused myself to invite them.
我最近对娱乐没什么兴趣 I've been very neglectful about entertaining lately.
现在你长期在家 Now you are paying me a long visit,
我会有很多这样的夜晚 I will have many such evenings.
你喜欢奥姆·赫瑞克女士吗 You liked Miss Orme Herrick?
—不喜欢 —不喜欢吗 -No. -No?
你不喜欢她的小胡子 Was it her little moustache you objected to
还是她的大脚 or her very large feet?
你觉得她玩得开心吗 Do you think she enjoyed herself?
不 No.
我感觉也是这样 That was my impression also.
我怀疑我们的客人中 I doubt if any of our guests will count this
没有人觉得今晚玩得开心 among their happiest evenings.
我觉得那个年轻的外国人弹琴好可怕 That young foreigner plays atrociously, I thought.
我是在哪认识他的呢 Where can I have met him?
还有康斯坦莎·斯梅西克女士 And Miss Constantia Smethwick,
我又是在哪认识她的呢 where can I have met her?
但好客之道必需遵守 But the obligations of hospitality must be observed.
你在这里 就不能无趣 While you are here, you shall not be dull.
终于 一个周日下午 Finally, one Sunday afternoon,
我收到了塞巴斯蒂安发来的一封电报 a telegram arrived from Sebastian
使我陷入激动而焦虑的状态 which threw me into a state of fevered anxiety.
父亲 Father.
您绝对猜不到我今天是怎么过的 You'll never guess where I've spent the day.
我去动物园了 I've been to the zoo.
真是好玩 It was most agreeable.
动物们似乎非常喜欢阳光 The animals seem to like the sunshine so much.
父亲 我得马上走了 Father, I have to leave at once.
是吗 Yes?
我的一个朋友 他受伤很重 A friend of mine, he's gravely injured.
我必需去找他 I must go to him.
半小时后有一班火车 There's a train in about half an hour.
“受伤很重 立刻过来 塞巴斯蒂安” "Gravely injured. Come at once. Sebastian."
好吧 我很抱歉你这么伤心 Well, I'm sorry you are upset.
看完这封电报 Reading this message,
我不觉得事故有你想的 I do not think that the accident could be quite so serious
那么严重 as you seem to think.
否则 受伤者本人 Otherwise, it would hardly be signed
很难自己署名 by the victim himself.
当然 他也很可能完全清醒 Still, of course, he may well be fully conscious
但是失明了 或者脊柱断裂而瘫痪了 but blind or paralyzed with a broken back.
为什么你的到场那么必要呢 Why exactly is your presence so necessary?
你没有医学知识 You have no medical knowledge.
你也没有神职 You are not in holy orders.
你希望去继承遗产吗 Do you hope for a legacy?
我跟你说了 他是我的好朋友 I told you; He's a great friend.
好吧 奥姆·赫瑞克也是我的一个好朋友 Well, Orme Herrick is a very great friend of mine,
但我不会在一个温暖的周日下午 but I should not go tearing off to his deathbed
冲到他的病榻前 on a warm Sunday afternoon.
我非常怀疑 I rather doubt
奥姆·赫瑞克夫人会不会欢迎我 whether Lady Orme Herrick would welcome me.
但是 我看你没有这样的疑虑 However, I see you have no such doubts.
我会想你的 我亲爱的儿子 I shall miss you, my dear boy.
但不要为了我急着赶回来 But do not hurry back on my account.
恐惧就像我思想里的酵母 Fear worked like yeast in my thoughts,
灾难的图像就像发酵过程中的 and the fermentation brought to the surface,
巨大泡沫一样 涌上表面 in great gobs of scum, the images of disaster.
一把上膛的枪 漫不经心地握着 A loaded gun, held carelessly at a stile.
一匹马高高立起 又翻滚倒下 A horse rearing and rolling over.
一个阴森的水池里淹没着一段树桩 A shaded pool with a submerged stake.
一辆驶至盲区的车 A car at a blind corner.
文明生活中所有种类的威胁 All the catalog of threats to civilized life
出现并缠扰着我 rose and haunted me.
我甚至想象了一个嗜杀的疯子 I even pictured a homicidal maniac,
在阴影中嘀咕 挥舞着长长的铅管 mouthing in the shadows, swinging a length of lead pipe.
请出示车票 先生 Ticket, please, sir.
—是去布赖兹赫德吗 先生 —是的 -Brideshead, sir? -Yes.
朱丽娅小姐在院子里等着呢 Lady Julia's waiting in the yard.
谢谢你 Thank you.
—你是赖德先生吗 —是的 -You're Mr. Ryder? -Yes.
上车吧 Jump in.
—他怎么样 —哦 他没事 -How is he? -Oh, he's fine.
你吃晚饭了吗 对 在火车上吃的 Have you had dinner? Yes, on the train.
我猜那很难吃吧 家里还有吃的 Well, I expect it was beastly. There's some more at home.
只有我和塞巴斯蒂安 所以我们想着等你(一起吃) Sebastian and I are alone, so we thought we'd wait for you.
他发生什么了 What's happened to him?
他没说吗 Didn't he say?
我猜 他觉得 如果你知道了 就不会来了 I expect he thought you wouldn't come if you knew.
他脚上的一根骨头裂了 很小 甚至没有名字 He cracked a bone in his foot so tiny that it hasn't a name.
但他们昨天照了X光 But they X-rayed it yesterday
告诉他要休养一个月 and told him to keep it up for a month.
这对他来说太无聊了 所有计划都泡汤了 It's a great bore to him, putting out all his plans.
他前所未有的大惊小怪 He's been making the most enormous fuss.
其他人都走了 Everybody else has gone.
起初 他试着让我留下来陪他 At first, he tried to make me stay back with him.
我猜你知道 他的(装)可怜能有多令人恼火 Well, I expect you know how maddeningly pathetic he can be.
我差点屈服了 然后我说 I almost gave in, and then I said,
“一定有什么人你能找来的吧” "Surely there must be someone you can get hold of?"
然后他说 每个人都不在(英国)或者很忙 And he said everybody was away or busy,
总之 没人能来 and anyway no one else would do.
但最后 他同意试试找你 But at last, he agreed to try you,
我承诺我会留下来 如果你不来的话 and I promised I'd stay if you failed him,
所以你能想象 我有多欢迎你 so you can imagine how popular you are with me.
我必须要说 我觉得你一接到消息 I must say, I think it's noble of you
就大老远赶过来 非常高尚 to come all this way at a moment's notice.
他怎么受伤的 How did he do it?
不管你信不信 是打槌球的 Believe it or not, playing croquet.
他发脾气了 被铁圈绊倒了 He lost his temper and tripped over a hoop.
不是一个很光荣的伤疤 Not a very honorable scar.
她很像塞巴斯蒂安 She so much resembled Sebastian
坐在她旁边 that sitting beside her,
我非常困惑于既熟悉 I was confused by the double illusion
又陌生的双重幻觉 of familiarity and strangeness.
我讨厌在这个时候开车 I hate driving at this time of the day.
但家里似乎没有别人会开车了 There doesn't seem anyone left at home who can drive a car.
塞巴斯蒂安和我几乎是在露营 Sebastian and I are practically camping out.
—抽烟吗 —不了 谢谢 -Cigarette? -No, thanks.
帮我点一支 好吗 Light one for me, will you?
那是我人生中第一次 It was the first time in my life
有人请我做这样的事 that anyone had asked this of me,
当我把香烟从我唇间取下 塞进她嘴里的时候 and as I took the cigarette from my lips and put it in hers,
我听到蝙蝠交配的吱吱声 I caught a thin bat's squeak of sexuality
只有我听得见 inaudible to any but me.
谢谢 Thanks.
你来过这里 奶奶告诉我的 You've been here before. Nanny reported it.
我们都觉得你们没有留下来 We both thought it very odd of you
跟我喝茶 很奇怪 not to stay to tea with me.
是塞巴斯蒂安的决定 That was Sebastian.
你似乎总是听他发号施令 You seem to let him boss you around a good deal.
你不应该这样 这对他不好 You shouldn't. It's very bad for him.
我们到了 Here we are.
如果塞巴斯蒂安没等你就开始吃饭了 I wouldn't have put it past Sebastian
我一定不会放过他 to have started dinner without you.
谢谢你 Thank you.
你好 亲爱的 Hello, darling.
谢谢你 威尔克斯 Thank you, Wilcox.
好了 亲爱的 我接到你的好朋友了 Well, darling, I've collected your chum.
我还以为你要死了 I thought you were dying.
我也这么以为 I thought so too.
疼痛太折磨人了 The pain was excruciating.
朱丽娅 你觉不觉得 如果你去问他 Julia, do you think, if you asked him,
威尔克斯今晚会给我们一点香槟 Wilcox would give us champagne tonight?
我讨厌香槟 I hate champagne.
而且赖德先生已经吃过晚饭了 And Mr. Ryder has already had dinner.
赖德先生 赖德先生 Mr. Ryder? Mr. Ryder?
查尔斯任何时候都喝香槟 Charles drinks champagne at all hours.
你知道吗 看着我这只紧紧包扎的脚 Do you know, looking at this great swaddled foot of mine,
我总觉得自己得了痛风 I can't get it out of my head that I've got gout,
特别渴望香槟 and that gives me a craving for champagne.
哇哦 Ow!
走哪边 Which way?
走这边 This way.
晚餐是在红餐厅吃的 Dinner was served in the Red Dining Room.
他们吃饭的时候 我吃了一个桃子 While they dined, I ate a peach
跟他们讲了我和我父亲的战争 and told them of the war with my father.
他对他说 “住在伦敦 And he said to him, "Living in London,
你一定错过了你的国家游戏” you must miss your national game."
乔金斯说 “什么国家游戏” And Jorkins said, "What national game?"
我父亲说 “什么 当然是板球” And my father said, "Why, cricket, of course."
我是说 我真的觉得他有时候挺疯的 I mean, I-l really think he's sometimes quite mad.
要我说 他听起来像个完美的宝贝 He sounds a perfect poppet to me.
现在我要离开你们男孩了 And now I'm going to leave you boys.
—你要去哪 —育婴室 -Where are you off to? -The nursery.
我答应奶奶 再玩最后一局跳棋 I promised Nanny a last game of halma.
亲爱的霍金斯奶奶 Dear Nanny Hawkins.
她只为快乐活着 She lives entirely for pleasure.
晚安 赖德先生 还有再见 Good night, Mr. Ryder, and good-bye.
我明天很早就走 I'm leaving early.
我无法表达我对你将我 I can't tell you how grateful I am to you
从病床前解救出来的感激 for relieving me at the sickbed.
我妹妹今晚很高傲 My sister's very pompous tonight.
我觉得她不在乎我 I don't think she cares for me.
我不觉得她在乎任何人 I don't think she cares for anyone very much.
我爱她 她很像我 I love her. She's so like me.
是吗 是吗 Do you? Is she?
我是说长相 还有她说话的方式 In looks, I mean, and the way she talks.
我不会爱任何一个跟我性格相像的人 I wouldn't love anyone with a character like mine.
查尔斯 我们将度过天堂般的时光 Charles, we're going to have a heavenly time alone.
第二天早晨 When, next morning,
我看到朱丽娅开车从前院消失 I saw Julia drive from the forecourt and disappear,
我感受到解脱和平静 I felt a sense of liberation and peace
就像我多年后 such as I was to know years later when,
经过一夜不安之后 after a night of unrest,
听到警报解除的汽笛声 the sirens sounded the all clear.
我相信自己在布赖兹赫德的 I believed myself very close to heaven
那些慵懒的日子里 非常接近天堂 during those languid days at Brideshead.
因此我喜欢回想塞巴斯蒂安 It is thus I like to remember Sebastian
那个夏天的样子 as he was that summer
我们漫步在那个魔幻城堡中的时候 when we wandered alone through that enchanted palace.
