那个办了一场聚会 The man who gave the get-together party
后来再也没看到的男人 and was never seen again.
你还记得吗 最后那天傍晚 太阳和今天一样 Do you remember how the sun came out on our last evening
喷薄而出 just as it has done today?
要记住的太多 So much to remember.
从那之后 我们有多少天 How many days have there been since then
没有见到彼此了 when we haven't seen each other?
一百天 你觉得呢 A hundred, do you think?
哦 没这么多 Oh, not so many.
两个圣诞节 Two Christmases
为了孩子 保持现状 to keep up appearances for the sake of the children.

之前美好的三天 before I followed you to Capri.
我们的第一个夏天 Our first summer.
你记得吗 我当时在那不勒斯闲逛 Do you remember how I hung about in Naples
然后才跟着你 and then followed?
我们约定在山径上见面 How we met by arrangement on the hill path
结果却很无聊 and how flat it felt?
我回到别墅 说 I went back to the villa and said,
“爸爸 你猜谁到了酒店” "Papa, who do you think's arrived at the hotel?"
他说 “我猜 查尔斯·赖德” And he said, "Charles Ryder, I suppose."
我说 “你怎么会想到是他” And I said, "Whatever made you think of him?"
他说 “他似乎很喜欢我的孩子们” And he said, "He seems to have a penchant for my children."
那时你得了黄疸 There was the time you had jaundice
不让我见你 and wouldn't let me see you.
然后我又得了流感 你不敢过来 And when I had flu, and you were afraid to come.
对 Yes.
一百天 A hundred days.
在两年多当中 Out of two years and a bit.
没有一天冷漠 猜疑或失望 Not a day's coldness or mistrust or disappointment.
从来没有 Never that.
我们去换衣服吧 Let's go and change.
你觉得我们还有多久 How many more do you think?
再一百天吗 Another hundred?
一辈子 A lifetime.
我想和你结婚 查尔斯 I want to marry you, Charles.
总有一天会的 为什么是现在 One day. Why now?
战争 今年 明年 很快就要开战了 War, this year, next year, sometime soon.
我想和你过一两年真正和平的日子 I want a year or two with you of real peace.
这不就是和平吗 Isn't this peace?
如果这不是 那你说的和平是什么意思 What do you mean by peace if not this?
多很多 So much more.
结婚不是我们想到 Marriage isn't a thing we can take
就能做到的事情 when the mood strikes us.
必须先离婚 两边都要离婚 There must be a divorce, two divorces.
我们得制定计划 We must make plans.
计划 离婚 战争 Plans, divorce, war.
在这样一个傍晚 说这些 On an evening like this?
有时 我感觉过去和未来 Sometimes I feel the past and future
互相紧逼 pressing so hard on either side,
似乎不给现在留下一点空间 there doesn't seem room for the present at all.
怎么了 威尔克斯 Yes, Wilcox?
布赖兹赫德爵爷刚打电话过来 夫人 Lord Brideshead's just telephoned, milady.
他说 请不要等他回来吃晚餐 He says not to wait dinner for him, please.
他会晚一点 He'll be a little late.
谢谢你 威尔克斯 Thank you, Wilcox.
他上一次来这 好像是几个月前 It seems months since he was last here.
对 Yes.
他在伦敦做什么 What does he do in London?
这是我们经常猜测的一件事 It was often a matter for speculation between us,
衍生出很多奇思妙想 giving birth to many fantasies,
因为布赖迪是个谜 for Bridey was a mystery.
他谈论过加入军队 The talk of his going into the army
加入议会 去修道院 and into parliament and into a monastery
但一事无成 had all come to nothing.
大家唯一确定知道的 他做成了的事—— All that he was known with certainty to have done-
这是因为 在缺乏新闻的那段时间 and this because, in a season of scant news,
这件事被写成了一篇新闻报道 it had formed the subject of a newspaper article
题目是《贵族的奇特爱好》 entitled "Peer's Unusual Hobby"-
——是养成了收集火柴盒的爱好 was to form a collection of matchboxes.
你是说 这都是你的错 You mean it's all your fault?
呃 Well...
你好 布赖迪 Hello, Bridey.
布赖迪 我们快吃完了 Bridey, we're almost finished.
哦 好吧 只有你们两个 Oh, well. Only you two?
我本希望看到雷克斯的 I hoped to find Rex here.
你好吗 How are you?
有什么新闻吗 What's the news?
呃 其实 我确实有些新闻 Well, as a matter of fact, I do have some news,
但可以待会再说 but it can wait.
现在就告诉我们 Tell us now.
你的画画得怎么样 查尔斯 How's the painting, Charles?
哪一幅 Which painting?
你正在画的一幅 Whatever you have on the stocks.
好吧 我开始画一幅朱丽娅的画像 Well, I've begun a picture of Julia,
但今天一整天 光线都不好 but the light was difficult all day today.
朱丽娅 你以前没有画过吗 Julia? Haven't you done her before?
我觉得 从建筑画到人物画的转变 I suppose it's a change from architecture
一定困难很多吧 and much more difficult.
世界上有各种不同的(绘画)主题 The world is full of different subjects.
非常对 布赖迪 Very true, Bridey.
如果我是一个画家 If I were a painter,
我会每次选一个不同的主题 I should choose a different subject every time.
真的吗 Really?
哪种主题 What sort of subjects?
哦 我不太清楚 Oh, I don't know really.
有很多情节的主题 Subjects with plenty of action in them,
可能就像《麦克白》 like Macbeth, perhaps.
顺便一问 我一直想问你来着 By the way, I've been meaning to ask you,
母亲的珠宝都去哪了 what happened to Mother's jewels?
大部分都在科迪莉娅和我这里 Cordelia and I had most of her things.
这就是她的 This was hers.
还有这个 And this.
其余的都在银行 The rest went to the bank.
是不是有些挺好的红宝石 Aren't there some rather famous rubies
有人跟我说的 someone was telling me?
对 有串项链 妈咪过去经常戴 Yes, a necklace. Mummy often used to wear it.
你不记得了吗 Don't you remember?
到底为什么问 Why, anyway?
我只是想 我要找天去看一眼 I just thought I'd like to take a look at them someday.
我说 爸爸不是想要当掉吧 是吗 I say Papa isn't going to pop them, is he?
他又欠债了吗 He's not in debt again?
不 不 不是这样的 No, no, nothing like that.
拜托 布赖迪 别这么神秘 Come on, Bridey, don't be so mysterious.
说出来吧 Out with it.
好吧 你只需要等到周一 Well, you have only to wait until Monday
就能看到报纸上的白纸黑字(的报道) to see it in black and white in the newspapers.
我订婚了 I am engaged to be married.
我希望你们为我高兴 I hope you're pleased.
布赖迪 真让人激动 Bridey! How very exciting!
跟谁 Who to?
哦 你不认识 Oh, no one you know.
她漂亮吗 Is she pretty?
我觉得 称她漂亮并不准确 I don't think you would exactly call her pretty.
我能想到形容她的词是 标致 Comely is the word I think of in her connection.
她是个大块头的女人 She's a big woman.
什么 胖吗 What, fat?
不 是高大 No, big.
她叫马斯帕特女士 She's called Mrs. Muspratt.
她的教名是贝瑞尔[绿宝石] Her Christian name is Beryl.
我认识她蛮久了 I've known her for quite a long time,
但她丈夫去年还在 but until last year, she had a husband.
现在她是寡妇了 Now she's a widow.
你为什么要笑 Why do you laugh?
抱歉 这不好笑 I'm sorry. It's not in the least funny.
只是很意外 It's just so unexpected.
她是… Is she...
她是和你差不多的年纪吗 is she about your own age?
差不多吧 我想 Just about, I believe.
她有三个孩子 She has three children.
最大的男孩刚去了安普福斯 The eldest boy has just gone to Ampleforth.
她境况很不好 She is not at all well off.
你在哪认识她的 Where did you find her?
她去世的丈夫 马斯帕特海军上将 Her late husband, Admiral Muspratt,
也收集火柴盒 collected matchboxes.
你和她结婚 不是为了她的火柴盒吧 You're not marrying her for her matchboxes?
不 他的全部收藏都送去了法尔茅斯镇图书馆 No, the whole collection went to Falmouth Town Library.
我很喜欢她 I have a great affection for her.
尽管处境艰难 In spite of all her difficulties,
但她还是个非常快乐的女人 she's a very cheerful woman,
很喜欢表演 very fond of acting.
她是天主教演员协会的成员 She's a member of the Catholic Players Guild.
爸爸知道了吗 Does Papa know?
我今天收到了他的信 I had a letter from him this morning
得到了他的同意 giving me his approval.
他催我定下婚期 He's been urging me for some time to marry.
好吧 Well...
恭喜你 布赖迪 congratulations, Bridey.
对 Yes.
恭喜你 Congratulations.
谢谢你们 谢谢你们 Thank you. Thank you.
我觉得我非常幸运 I think I'm very fortunate.
布赖迪 我们什么时候能见到她 Bridey, when are we going to meet her?
我觉得 你应该把她一起带过来 I do think you might have brought her down with you.
布赖迪 Bridey,
你这个狡猾的 自鸣得意的家伙 you sly, smug old brute,
你为什么不带她过来呢 why didn't you bring her here?
哦 我不能那么做 你知道 Oh, I couldn't do that, you know.
为什么不能 Why couldn't you?
我迫不及待地想见她 I'm dying to meet her.
我们打电话邀请她吧 Let's ring her up and ask her.
这种时候 我们留她一个人(在家) She'll think us most peculiar
她会觉得我们很奇怪的 leaving her alone at a time like this.
她有孩子呢 She has the children.
再说了 你们就是很奇怪 不是吗 Besides, you are peculiar, aren't you?
你是什么意思 What can you mean?
现在这种情况 我很难邀请她过来 I could hardly ask her here as things are.
这很不合适 It wouldn't be suitable.
毕竟 我在这只是个住客 After all, I'm only a lodger here.
现在这里是雷克斯的家 This is Rex's house at the moment
如果这里是谁的家的话 so far as it's anybody's.
这里发生的事 都是雷克斯的事 What goes on here is his business.
但我不能带贝瑞尔过来 But I couldn't bring Beryl here.
我真是不理解 I simply don't understand.
雷克斯和我当然想让她来 Of course Rex and I want her to come.
哦 对 我不怀疑这一点 Oh, yes, I don't doubt that.
困难的是另一件事 But the difficulty is quite otherwise.
你得理解 贝瑞尔是个 You must understand that Beryl is a woman
严守天主教原则的女人 of strict Catholic principle,
又被中产阶级的偏见强化 fortified by the prejudices of the middle classes.
我不可能带她过来 I couldn't possibly bring her here.
你选择跟雷克斯还是查尔斯姘居 It is a matter of indifference
或者跟两个人一起姘居 whether you choose to live in sin
这无关紧要 with Rex or Charles or both.
我一直无意探究你私生活的细节 I have always avoided inquiry into the details of your ménage,
但无论如何 贝瑞尔不会同意做你的客人 but in no case would Beryl consent to be your guest.
为什么 你这个自以为是的混蛋 Why, you pompous ass.
我也许给大家留下的印象 I may have given the impression
是这场婚姻出于利益 that this was a marriage of convenience.
我不能为贝瑞尔辩护 I cannot speak for Beryl.
毫无疑问 我地位的稳固 No doubt the security of my position
确实对她有利 has some influence on her.
其实 她也这么说了 Indeed, she has said as much.
但对我自己来说 让我强调一下 But for myself, let me emphasize
我真的很爱她 I am ardently attracted.
布赖迪 Bridey,
你对朱丽娅说的话太过分了 what a bloody offensive thing to say to Julia.
她应该没什么可以反驳的 There was nothing she should object to.
我只是在陈述 她也非常清楚的事实 I was merely stating a fact well known to her.
你不冷吗 Aren't you cold?
亲爱的 怎么了 My darling, what is it?
你为什么这么介意 Why do you mind?
那个老笨蛋说了什么 有什么关系呢 What does it matter what the old booby says?
我不介意 I don't.
没关系 It doesn't.
只是震惊 It's just the shock.
别笑我 Don't laugh at me.
他怎么敢那样对你说话 How dare he speak to you like that?
那个冷血的老骗子 The cold-blooded old humbug.
不 不是这样的 No, it's not that.
他说得很对 He's quite right.
他们全都知道 布赖迪和他的寡妇 They know all about it, Bridey and his widow.
他们在教堂门口用一便士买的 They bought it for a penny at the church door.
在那里 你用一便士能买到任何消息 白纸黑字的 You can get anything there for a penny in black and white,
没人会看到你付钱 and nobody to see that you paid.
只要拿走你的小册子 Just take your tract.
就得到了 There you've got it.
一言蔽之 All in one word too,
一个小小的 简单的但致命的词 概括了一生 one little, flat, deadly word that covers a lifetime.
姘居 Living in sin,
不只是做了错事 比如我去美国是做了错事 not just doing wrong, as I did when I went to America,
做了错事 知道做错了 doing wrong, knowing it's wrong,
停止再犯 然后忘记 stopping doing it, forgetting it.
他们不是这个意思 那不是布赖迪花一便士买来的东西 That's not what they mean. That's not Bridey's pennyworth.
他的意思就是那白纸黑字 He means just what it says.
生活在罪孽之中 每时每刻 Living in sin every hour,
living in sin：骈居 字面意思是生活在罪孽之中
每一天 每一年 every day, year in, year out.
一直是一样的 It's always the same.
像个白痴小孩 被小心地照顾着 Like an idiot child, carefully nursed,
保护着 远离这个世界(的纷扰) guarded from the world.
“可怜的朱丽娅” 他们说 “她走不出来了 "Poor Julia," they say. "She can't go out.
她得为她的罪孽负责” "She's got to take care of her little sin."
“真遗憾 还有这样的罪孽” 他们说 "A pity it ever lived," they say.
但它太强大了 But it's so strong.
那样的孩子总是很强大 Children like that always are.
朱丽娅太容忍她疯狂的小罪孽了 Julia's so good to her little, mad sin.
这么多年来 我一直试着 All those years when I was trying...
做一个好妻子 to be a good wife
在雪茄烟气中 in the cigar smoke...
当我怀着他的孩子 when I was trying to bear his child...
被已经死去的东西[死胎]折磨的时候 torn in pieces by something already dead,
远离他 原谅他 putting him away, forgetting him,
找到你 finding you,
和你度过的这两年 the past two years with you...
有你或没有你的未来 all the future with you or without you...
战争将会来临 war coming...
世界将会终结 world ending,
罪孽 sin.
这是我很久以前听到的词 It's a word from so long ago.
那时 霍金斯奶奶在壁炉边做针线 From Nanny Hawkins stitching by the hearth
圣心前的夜灯还亮着 and the night-light burning before the Sacred Heart.
我和科迪莉娅拿着教理问答书 Me and Cordelia with the catechism
在周日午餐前 坐在妈咪房间里 in Mummy's room before lunch and on Sundays.
妈咪把我的罪孽带去教堂 Mummy carrying my sin with her to church,
弯腰低头 bowed under it.
妈咪带着我的罪孽去世了 这比她自己的 Mummy dying with my sin eating at her
致命疾病更加残忍地侵蚀着她 more cruelly than her own deadly illness.
妈咪带着(我的)罪孽死去 Mummy dying with it.
耶稣带着(世人的)罪恶死去 Christ dying with it,
手脚被钉(在十字架上) nailed hand and foot,
高悬在人群和士兵的头顶 high among the crowds and the soldiers.
除了浸满醋的海绵和小偷的友善话语 There's no comfort except a sponge of vinegar
没有其他任何慰藉 and the kind words of a thief,
永远悬挂在 hanging forever
夜晚育婴室的床上 over the bed in the night nursery.
没有退路 There's no way back.
大门已被堵住 The gate's barred.
所有的圣徒和天使驻守在墙边 All the saints and angels posted along the wall.
被抛弃 报废 腐烂 Thrown away, scrapped, rotting down.
无名无姓地死去 Nameless and dead.
就像那个我还没来得及看一眼 Like the baby they wrapped up
就被他们包起来拿走的孩子 and took away before I had a chance to see her.
唉 布赖迪总喜欢扔这种重磅炸弹 不是吗 Well, Bridey is one for bombshells, isn't he?
考虑到我刚从歇斯底里中 Considering that I've just recovered
恢复过来 from a fit of hysteria,
我觉得这样不算特别糟糕 I don't call that at all bad.
大部分歇斯底里的女人 看起来都像得了重感冒 Most hysterical women look as if they got a bad cold.
走吧 Come on.
我们不下去吗 We're not going down again?
当然 Of course.
我们不能让布赖迪在订婚夜独自一人 We can't leave Bridey alone on his engagement night.
对吧 Can't we?
很抱歉让你看到可怕的场景 查尔斯 I'm sorry about that appalling scene, Charles.
我没法解释 I can't explain it.
外面舒服吗 Was it nice out?
如果我知道你们要出去 我就也跟着去了 If I had known you were going, I'd have gone too.
外面挺冷的 It was rather cold.
我希望 让雷克斯从这里搬出去 I hope it's not going to be inconvenient for Rex
不会太不方便 moving out of here.
你看 巴顿街的房子对我们和三个孩子 You see, Barton Street is much too small for us
来说 太小了 and the three children.
另外 贝瑞尔很喜欢乡村 Besides, Beryl likes the country.
在信里 爸爸提议 In his letter, Papa proposed
立刻转让整个庄园 making over the whole estate right away.
我肯定 让他离开 他会很伤心 I'm sure he'll be sorry to leave.
哦 别担心 Oh, don't worry.
雷克斯会在别的地方找到交易的 Rex will find another bargain somewhere.
相信他 Trust him.
贝瑞尔自己有些她 Beryl has some furniture of her own
非常喜欢的家具 she's very attached to.
我觉得 放在这里不会好看 I don't think it would go very well here.
你知道 橡木梳妆台 四角凳之类的 You know, oak dressers and coffin stools and things.
我觉得 可以把它们放在母亲的房间 I thought you could put it in Mother's room.
对 可以放在那 Yes, that would be the place for it.
当然 很多年没人用那个房间了 Of course, nobody's used that room for years...
就这样 兄妹俩坐着谈论 So brother and sister sat and talked
房子的相关安排 直到就寝 about the arrangement of the house until bedtime.
我想 一小时前 An hour ago, I thought,
她还在喷泉边 为上帝之死 by the fountain, she wept her heart out
哭得肝肠寸断 for the death of her God.
现在 她却讨论起 贝瑞尔孩子们的房间 Now she is discussing whether Beryl's children
应该是旧吸烟室 shall take the old smoking room
还是教室 or the schoolroom for their own.
我迷惑了 I was all at sea.
我不相信 布赖迪的寥寥数语 I won't believe that great spout of tears
就让你这样大哭一场 came just from a few words of Bridey's.
你之前一定想过这些 You must have been thinking about it before.
并没有 Hardly at all.
只是偶尔 Now and then.
最近 随着审判号声越来越近 才想得多一点 More lately with the Last Trump so near.
当然 这是心理学家能解释的事情 Of course, it's a thing psychologists could explain.
从童年开始的思想准备 A pre-conditioning from childhood,
在育婴室接受的 所有胡说八道的教育 feelings of guilt from all the nonsense
让你感到愧疚 you were taught in the nursery.
但你心里知道 But you do know in your heart
这都是胡扯 对吗 that it's all bosh, don't you?
我希望是这样 How I wish it was.
你知道吗 有一次 塞巴斯蒂安 Do you know, Sebastian once said
跟我说了几乎一样的话 almost the same thing to me.
他回归宗教了 你知道 He's gone back to the Church, you know.
当然 他从不曾像我这样明确地离开 Of course, he's never left it as definitely as I did.
我走得太远 I've gone too far.
回不了头了 There's no turning back.
如果你认为这些都是胡扯 I know that, if that's what you mean
是这个意思 那我知道 by thinking it all bosh.
我们再到外面去吧 Let's go out again.
这就像一出喜剧的背景 It's like the setting for a comedy.
场景 贵族家 庭院里的巴洛克式喷泉 Scene: A baroque fountain in the nobleman's grounds.
第一幕 日落 Act one, sunset.
第二幕 月夜 Act two, moonlight.
第三幕 黎明 Act three, towards dawn.
角色们聚集在喷泉周围 The characters keep assembling at the fountain
没有特别清楚的原因 for no very clear reason.
喜剧 Comedy.
戏剧 Drama,
悲剧 闹剧 tragedy, farce.
你想什么(就是什么) What you will.
这是一场和解的戏 This is the reconciliation scene.
有过争吵吗 Was there a quarrel?
第二幕里有误解和疏远 Misunderstanding and estrangement in Act Two.
别用那种该死的没教养的语气说话 Don't talk in that damned bounderish way.
你为什么一定要间接地看待一切呢 Why must you see everything secondhand?
这为什么一定要是一出戏 Why must this be a play?
这是我的一种方式 It's a way I have.
我讨厌它 I hate it.
你现在看到我有多讨厌它了吧 Now do you see how I hate it?
疼吗 Did that hurt?
嗯 Yes.
是吗 Did it?
我呢 Did I?
屋顶上的猫 Cat on the rooftop.
哦 讨厌 Oh, beast.
月光下的猫 Cat in the moonlight.
你可怜的脸 Your poor face.
明天会有疤痕吗 Will there be a mark tomorrow?
我… 我觉得会 I... I expect so.
查尔斯 我要疯了吗 Charles, am I going crazy?
今晚这里发生了什么 What's happened here tonight?
嘘 Shh.
我好累 I'm so tired.
好累 So tired.
疲倦 疯狂 什么也不好 Tired and crazy and good for nothing.
我唯一能希望的 就是让我的生活变得有某种条理 All I can hope to do is put my life in some sort of order.
那就是为什么我想和你结婚 That's why I want to marry you.
我应该还想要个孩子 I should like to have a child.
那是我能做的一件事 That's one thing I can do.
所以你要离婚 So you're being divorced.
过了这么多年幸福日子 Isn't that rather unnecessary
没这个必要吧 after being happy together all these years?
我们不是很幸福 您知道 We weren't particularly happy, you know.
不是吗 Weren't you?
你不幸福吗 Were you not?
我清楚地记得 上个圣诞 I distinctly remember last Christmas
看到你们在一起 想着 你看起来多幸福 seeing you together and thinking how happy you looked
思考那是为什么 and wondering why.
你知道 你会发现离婚非常烦人 要重新开始 You'll find it very disturbing, you know, starting off again.
你多少岁了 34岁 How old are you? 34?
那可不是重新开始的时候 你本该安定下来了 That's no time to be starting. You ought to be settling down.
你定下计划了吗 Have you made any plans?
嗯 Yes.
离婚手续一办好 I intend to get married again
我就打算再婚 as soon as the divorce is through.
哦 我说 那真是胡扯 Well, I do call that a lot of nonsense.
我能理解 一个男人希望自己没有结婚 I can understand a man wishing he hadn't married
试图赶快离婚 and trying to get out of it.
尽管我自己没有过这种感觉 Though I never felt anything of the kind myself.
但是 刚摆脱一个妻子 But to get rid of one wife
就立刻跟另一个结婚 and take up with another immediately
简直毫无道理 is beyond all reason.
我这辈子也见过几次离婚 I've seen a few divorces in my time.
我不知道哪一桩 能让各方面都这么满意 I've never known one work out so happily for all concerned.
通常 Almost always,
不论人们一开始多么友善 however matey people are at the start,
一旦落实到细节上 就会反目成仇 bad blood crops up as soon as they get down to detail.
听着 我不介意说 Mind you, I don't mind saying
过去几年中 有很多次 there have been times in the last couple of years
我觉得你对西莉娅太过分了 when I thought you were a bit rough on Celia.
当然 一个人评价自己的妹妹很难(客观) Of course it's different when it's one's own sister,
但我一直觉得 她是个招人喜欢的可爱姑娘 but I've always thought her a jolly attractive girl.
任何家伙都乐意相处的那种姑娘 The sort of girl any chap would be glad to have.
也很有艺术才华 Artistic too.
正好和你志同道合 Just down your street.
我得承认 你很会挑 I must admit, you're a good picker.
我一直很喜欢朱丽娅 I've always had a soft spot for Julia.
好吧 我想 如果朱丽娅坚持要离婚 Well, I suppose if Julia insists on a divorce,
她一定会离的 she must have one.
我的天 她选了一个最糟糕的时候 My God, she couldn't have chosen a worse time.
事情的发展不像雷克斯计划的 Things had not gone as smoothly for Rex
那样顺利 as he had planned.
一次战争可以改变他的运势 Only war could put his fortunes right
让他执掌权力 and carry him into power.
一次离婚不会对他造成很大的伤害 A divorce would do him no great harm,
但他就像一个 操纵着一大笔筹码的赌徒 but he was like a gambler with a big bank running.
他没法从赌桌上抬起头 He could not look up from the table.
告诉她 Tell her to...
让她等一会 查尔斯 tell her to hang on a bit, Charles.
你是个好人 There's a good fellow.
午饭时我见到了那个寡妇 I met the widow at luncheon.
是吗 Did you?
你知道她跟我说了什么吗 Do you know what she said to me?
“所以 你要和一个离过婚的男人离婚 "So you're divorcing one divorced man
再跟一个离婚过的男人结婚 "and marrying another.
这听上去很复杂 "It sounds rather complicated,
但是 亲爱的” but, my dear"-
她喊我“亲爱的”大概20遍 she called me "my dear" about 20 times-
“我经常发现 每一个天主教家庭 "I've usually found that every Catholic family
都会有一个堕落的人 "has one lapsed member,
这里指背弃宗教信仰
而且经常是最漂亮的那个” and it's often the nicest."
她什么样 What's she like?
人高马大 Majestic.
丰满性感 And voluptuous.
当然 非常普通 Common, of course.
我告诉你一件事 I'll tell you one thing.
她在年纪上对布赖迪撒谎了 She's lied to Bridey about her age.
她至少45岁了 She's a good 45.
我觉得她生不出孩子[继承人]了 I don't see her providing an heir.
布赖迪不能把视线从她身上移开 Bridey can't take his eyes off her.
整个午饭期间 他都用最令人作呕的方式 He was gloating on her in the most revolting way
充满爱意地看着她 all through luncheon.
她友好吗 Was she friendly?
天哪 是的 Goodness, yes.
以一种居高临下的态度 In a condescending way.
我觉得 我这匹害群之马在那 I think it put her rather at ease
让她自在很多 to have me there as the black sheep.
实际上 她很关注我 She concentrated on me, in fact,
直截了当地说 希望经常在伦敦见到我 said rather pointedly she hoped to see me often in London.
我觉得 布赖迪的顾虑只在于 I think Bridey's scruples only extend to her sleeping
她和我睡在同一屋檐下 under the same roof with me.
显然 在帽子店和美发店 Apparently, I can do her no serious harm
我不会真的对她造成伤害 in a hat shop or hairdresser's.
总之 所有的顾虑都在布赖迪这边 The scruples are all on Bridey's part, anyway.
那个寡妇非常彪悍 The widow is madly tough.
她对他颐指气使吗 Does she boss him?
还没有 没那么过分 Not yet, much.
他沉迷在热恋之中 可怜的傻瓜 He's in an amorous stupor, poor beast,
完全不知道他身在何处了 and doesn't really know where he is.
她只是一个好心的女人 She's just a good-hearted woman
想给她的孩子找个好家庭 who wants a good home for her children
不会让任何事情挡她的道 and isn't going to let anything stand in her way.
夫人 科迪莉娅小姐打电话过来 留了口信 A telephone message, milady, from Lady Cordelia.
科迪莉娅小姐 真好 Lady Cordelia? How marvelous.
她在哪 Where is she?
在伦敦 夫人 In London, milady.
威尔克斯 真好 Wilcox, how lovely.
她要回家吗 Is she coming home?
刚从车站出发 夫人 Just starting for the station, milady.
她会回来吃晚餐 She'll be here after dinner.
谢谢你 Thank you.
从我带她去瑞兹吃晚饭之后 就再没见过她 I haven't seen her since I took her to dinner at the Ritz
当时 她说要成为修女 and she talked about becoming a nun.
已经12年了 It must be 12 years.
她以前是个招人喜欢的小孩 She was an enchanting child.
她过着奇怪的生活 She's had an odd life.
先去了女修道院 First the convent,
后来在那里过得不好 就去了西班牙战场 and when that was no good, the war in Spain.
战争结束之后 她留在那里 Then staying on when the war was over
去战俘营帮忙 and helping in the camps.
她长大了 变得挺平庸的 你知道 She's grown up quite plain, you know.
她知道我们(的事)吗 Does she know about us?
嗯 Yes.
她给我写了一封很贴心的信 She wrote me a sweet letter.
想到科迪莉娅长大了变得很平庸 再想到 It hurt to think of Cordelia growing up quite plain,
她的一腔炽爱都花费在 to think of all that burning love
血清注射和灭虱粉上 spending itself on serum injections
我不免痛心 and delousing powder.
当她到家时 旅途劳顿 When she arrived, tired from her journey,
衣衫褴褛 rather shabby,
举动的状态透露着无意取悦他人的意思 moving in the manner of one who has no interest in pleasing,
我觉得 她是个丑陋的女人 I thought her an ugly woman.
我想 这很奇怪 It was odd, I thought,
同样的部分 以不同的方式组合 how the same ingredients, differently dispersed,
竟然可以产生 布赖兹赫德 塞巴斯蒂安 朱丽娅和她 could produce Brideshead, Sebastian, Julia, and her.
回家真好 It's wonderful to be home.
我在西班牙的工作结束了 My job's over in Spain.
当局非常客气 The authorities were very polite,
感谢我所作的一切 thanked me for all I'd done,
授予我一枚勋章 gave me a medal,
然后就让我去收拾东西了 and sent me packing.
听着 看上去 很快这里就会有 Mind you, it looks as though there'll be plenty
很多同种工作了 of the same sort of work over here soon.
雷克斯似乎十分肯定 Rex seems pretty certain.
他非常确信 将会爆发战争 He's made up his mind there's going to be war.
我在想 爸爸会怎么做 I wonder what Papa will do.
雷克斯在哪 他会下来吗 Where is Rex? Is he coming down?
不 No.
律师们坚持(让我们)正式分居 The lawyers insisted on a formal separation,
所以他搬回伦敦了 so he's moved back to London.
我只住到布赖迪和寡妇 I'm only staying until Bridey's installed
还有她的三个孩子安顿下来 with the widow and her children.
他写信给我说 如果我没地方住 He wrote to me and said if I was homeless,
他们搬进来之后 我可以住在这 I could stay here after they moved in.
但我不知道 I don't know, though.
马斯帕特女士和三个男孩 Mrs. Muspratt and the three boys.
也许我可以在伦敦给自己找间公寓 Maybe I'll get myself a flat in London.
情况变成越来越严重的事件之一… Situation became one of increasing gravity...
直到最终… till at last...
你好 奶奶 Hello, Nanny.
啊 哦 Ah! Oh!
我就知道你们会上来 I knew you'd be up.
威尔克斯先生派人来告诉我 说你们要来 Mr. Wilcox sent to tell me you were coming.
我给你带了一些花边 I brought you some lace.
哦 真好 亲爱的 Oh, that is nice, dear.
就像可怜的夫人 从前在做弥撒时戴的 Just like her poor ladyship used to wear at mass.
虽然我从来不理解 他们为什么要做成黑的 Though why they made it black I never did understand,
花边本该是白的 seeing lace is white naturally.
嗯 那会很受欢迎 我确定 Well, that'll be very welcome I'm sure.
现在 Now...
我能把无线电关掉吗 奶奶 May we turn the wireless off, Nanny?
哦 为什么 当然 Oh, why, of course.
看到你们 我真高兴 I didn't notice it was on
都没注意到还开着 in the pleasure of seeing you.
朱丽娅和查尔斯要结婚了 是不是很棒 Isn't it splendid about Julia and Charles getting married?
呃 我希望会有好结果 Well, I hope it's all for the best.
布赖兹赫德花了很久 才下定决心 Brideshead has certainly taken long enough to make up his mind.
我翻遍了《德布雷特贵族年鉴》 找不到任何 I've hunted all through Debrett, and I couldn't find any mention
跟马斯帕特女士有关的 of Mrs. Muspratt's connections.
她抓住了他(的心) 我敢说 She caught him, I daresay.
你的头发怎么了 What have you done to your hair?
哦 我知道 很难看 Oh, I know, it's terrible.
现在我回来了 我一定要把它弄好 I must get all that put right now I'm back.
亲爱的奶奶 Darling Nanny.
我上个月见到塞巴斯蒂安了 I saw Sebastian last month.
他离开好久了 他还好吗 What a time he's been gone. Was he quite well?
不太好 Not very. That's why I went.
你知道 西班牙和突尼斯挺近的 It's quite near, you know, from Spain to Tunis.
他在那 跟一群修士在一起 He's with the monks there.
哦 好吧 我希望他们能照顾好他 Oh, well, I hope they look after him properly.
我想 他们会发现他是个难搞的人 I expect they find him a regular handful.
他总是在圣诞节给我寄(贺卡) He always sends to me at Christmas.
但这还是和他在家不一样 Though it's not the same as having him home.
他现在留胡子了 而且非常虔诚 He's got a beard now, and he's very religious.
我不相信 就算我亲眼看到 That I won't believe, not even if I see it.
他一直有点异教徒的气质 He was always a little heathen.
布赖兹赫德是那种会去教堂的人 塞巴斯蒂安不是 Brideshead was one for church, not Sebastian.
还有胡子 And a beard!
只能想象了 Only fancy.
他的皮肤那么好 那么白 Such a nice, fair skin as he had,
总是看起来很干净 always looked clean,
即使他一整天都没沾水 though he'd not been near water all day.
而布赖兹赫德呢 怎么洗都没有用 While Brideshead, there was no doing anything with.
科迪莉娅 Cordelia!
什么 What?
过来跟我说说塞巴斯蒂安 Come and tell me about Sebastian.
不是现在 查尔斯 Not now, Charles.
这是个很长的故事 明天吧 It's a long story. Tomorrow.
晚安 Good night.
我没有忘记塞巴斯蒂安 I had not forgotten Sebastian.
在朱丽娅的身体里 他每天都和我在一起 He was with me daily in Julia,
又或者 在那些遥远的如世外桃源般的日子里 or perhaps it was Julia I had known in him
我在他身上认识了朱丽娅 in those distant Arcadian days.
那幢房子的每一块石头上 都有关于他的回忆 Every stone of the house had a memory of him,
听科迪莉娅说起他 and hearing him spoken of by Cordelia
说她在一个月前见过他 as someone she had seen a month ago,
我失去的朋友重新占据了我的思绪 my lost friend filled my thoughts.
当时 我听说他快要死了 I heard he was dying.
一个刚从北非来到 A journalist in Burgos told me
布尔戈斯[西班牙城市]的记者告诉我的 who'd just arrived from North Africa.
一个穷困潦倒的人 叫弗莱特 A down-and-out called Flyte,
他们说他是个英国爵爷 whom the people said was an English lord,
被发现时正在挨饿 had been found starving
迦太基[突尼斯城市]附近的一家修道院收留了他 and taken in to a monastery near Carthage.
那就是我听到的故事 That was how the story reached me.
我知道 这不完全真实 I knew it couldn't quite be true.
虽然我们为塞巴斯蒂安做的很少 However little we did for Sebastian,
但至少 他收得到寄给他的钱 at least he got his money sent to him.
但我立刻出发了 But I started off at once.
找到他挺容易的 It was quite easy to find him.
我就去了领事馆 I just went to the consulate.
据他们说 有一天 他出现在突尼斯 Apparently he'd turned up in Tunis one day
请求成为传教会的凡人修士 and applied to be taken on as a missionary lay brother.
凡人修士：修会中从事庶务工作的修士 又称庶务修士
神父们看了他一眼 拒绝了他 The fathers took one look at him and turned him down.
然后他就又开始酗酒了 Then he started drinking again.
他住在阿拉伯社区边上的一家小旅馆 He lived in a little hotel on the edge of the Arab Quarter.
后来 我去看了那个地方 I went to see the place later.
那是一间酒吧 上面有几个房间 It was a bar with a few rooms over it
闻着有热油 大蒜和陈酒的味道 smelling of hot oil and garlic and stale wine.
他在那待了一个月 喝希腊苦艾酒 He stayed there a month drinking Greek absinthe.
那里的人很喜欢他 They loved him there.
他仍然受人喜爱 你看 He's still loved, you see,
不管他做什么 不管他处于怎样的境况 whatever he does, whatever condition he's in.
那是他永远不会失去的东西 It's a thing about him that he'll never lose.
他们谴责他的家人 They thought very ill of his family
这样丢下他不管 for leaving him like that.
他们说 这样的事不会发生在他们那里的人身上 It wouldn't happen with their people, they said.
我敢说 他们是对的 And I daresay they're right.
总之 这些都是后话 Anyway, that was later.
去过领事馆之后 我直接去了修道院 After the consulate, I went straight to the monastery,
见到了院长 and I saw the superior.
他告诉了我 他知道的那部分故事 He told me his part of the story.
所以 我把他送走了 So I sent him away.
他每周都要来两三次 He kept coming back two, three times a week,
总是喝醉了 always drunk,
直到我下了命令 让门房把他拦在外面 until I gave orders to the porter to keep him out.
他对你来说 一定是个很讨厌的人吧 He must have been a terrible nuisance to you.
我不知道我能怎么帮他 I don't know what I can do to help him,
除了祈祷 except pray.
最终 我们发现他不省人事地 Finally, we found him unconscious
躺在大门外面 outside the main gate.
他摔倒了 在那躺了一整夜 He had fallen down and had lain there all night.
起初 我们以为他只是又喝醉了 At first, we thought that he was merely drunk again.
然后 我们才意识到 他病得很重 Then we realized that he was very ill.
所以 我们带他去了医务室 So we took him to the infirmary.
从那之后 他一直待在那里 He has been there ever since.
他们给了他一个房间 They'd given him a room to himself
就是个修行室 just off the cloisters.
他看起来很糟糕 He looked terrible.
看不出年纪 Any age.
起初 他说不了太多话 At first, he couldn't talk much.
但我陪了他两周 But I stayed a fortnight with him
直到他度过病情最严重的阶段 until he was over the worst of his illness.
然后 他告诉了我 发生了什么 And then he told me what had been happening to him.
主要是关于科特 他的德国朋友 It was mostly about Kurt, his German friend.
嗯 你见过他 所以你应该很清楚 Well, you've met him, so you know all about that.
他听起来很让人讨厌 He sounds gruesome.
他说 他们去了希腊 He said they went to Greece,
一次斗殴之后 科特被逮捕 and Kurt had got arrested after some brawl
遣返了德国 and sent back to Germany.
那时 德国政府正从世界各处围捕 It was the time when they were rounding up all their nationals
他们的国民 逼迫他们成为纳粹 from all parts of the world to make them into Nazis.
塞巴斯蒂安跟去了 Sebastian followed.
那一年 他都找不到他的任何踪迹 For a year, he couldn't find any trace of him.
最后 他终于找到了他 Then in the end, he ran him to earth
穿着纳粹突击队员的衣服 在一个乡下小镇 dressed as a storm trooper in a provincial town.
起初 他不愿跟塞巴斯蒂安扯上关系 At first, he wouldn't have anything to do with Sebastian,
喋喋不休地说着那些官方口号 spouting all that official jargon
他的祖国重生之类的 about the rebirth of his country.
但那只是表面的 But it was only skin-deep with him.
塞巴斯蒂安六年来 Six years of Sebastian
教给他的东西 超过了希特勒一年的影响 had taught him more than a year of Hitler.
最终 科特放弃了 Eventually, Kurt chucked it
承认他恨德国 and admitted that he hated Germany
想要逃离 and wanted to get out.
我不知道 这在多大程度上 是对安逸生活的向往 I don't know how much it was simply the call of the easy life
依赖塞巴斯蒂安生活 sponging on Sebastian.
他说不完全是这样 He said it wasn't entirely that,
而是科特开始长大了 but Kurt had just begun to grow up.
也许他是对的 Maybe he's right.
总之 这没有成功 Anyway, it didn't work.
不管做什么 科特总是陷入麻烦 Kurt always got into trouble whatever he did.
最终 他们抓住了他 Finally, they caught him,
把他送进了集中营 and they put him in a concentration camp.
塞巴斯蒂安没法接近他 Sebastian couldn't get near him.
他甚至不知道 他在哪个集中营 He didn't even know what camp he was in.
所以 他又在德国徘徊了一年 So he hung about in Germany for another year,
又开始喝酒 drinking again,
直到有一天 他在喝酒时 until one day in his cups,
认识了一个刚从科特被送去的 he took up with a man who'd just been out of the camp
那个集中营出来的人 where Kurt had been...
这才知道 他在进集中营的第一周 and learned that he'd hanged himself in his hut
就在自己的牢房上吊了 in the first week.
所以 塞巴斯蒂安的欧洲之行就这样结束了 So that was the end of Europe for Sebastian.
他回到北非 那个曾经让他快乐的地方 He went back to North Africa where he'd been happy.
我曾经有个女家庭教师 I once had a governess
从这座桥跳下去 淹死[自杀]了 who jumped off this bridge and drowned herself.
我知道 I know.
你怎么知道 How could you know?
这是我听说的关于你的第一件事 It was the first thing I ever heard about you
甚至在我见到你之前 before I ever met you.
真奇怪 How very odd.
你跟朱丽娅说过塞巴斯蒂安的事了吗 Have you told Julia this about Sebastian?
说了重点 The substance of it.
没我跟你说的这么详细 Not quite as I told you.
你知道 她从没像我们这样 She never really loved him, you know,
爱过他 as we do.
可怜的老塞巴斯蒂安 Poor old Sebastian.
太可怜了 It's quite pitiful.
这会怎么收场呢 How will it end?
我想 我能准确地告诉你 查尔斯 I think I can tell you exactly, Charles.
我见过像他这样的人 I've seen others like him.
我相信 他们更接近 更亲近上帝 And I believe that they are very near and dear to God.
他们会让他活下去 They'll let him stay there,
一半身陷俗世 一半超脱凡尘 living half in and half out of the community.
他会成为老神父最喜欢的人 He'll be a great favorite with the old fathers
也会成为新信徒嘲笑的人 and something of a joke with the novices.
一个修道院里 总会有几个 There are usually a few odd hangers-on
吃闲饭的怪人 in a religious house.
你知道的 You know,
既不太适应外面的世界 又不太适应修道的规矩 people who don't quite fit in to either the world
的那些人 or the monastic rule.
我觉得 我自己也是那种人 I suppose I'm something of that sort myself,
但我正好不喝酒 所以更容易找到工作 but as I don't happen to drink, I'm more employable.
每个月 他会消失两三天 He'll disappear for two or three days every month or so,
他们都会点点头 笑着说 and they'll all nod and smile and say,
“老塞巴斯蒂安又去找乐子了” "Old Sebastian on a spree again."
然后 有一天 在他大喝一场之后 Then one day, after one of his drinking bouts,
他会被发现倒在门口 he'll be picked up at the gate dying
他们给他做最后的圣礼时 and show by the mere flicker of his eyelids
只有他眼皮的微微颤动 that he is conscious
表明他还有意识 when they give him the last sacraments.
这样度过一生 并不是很糟糕 Not such a bad way of getting through one's life.
这不是一个人会预想的 It's not what one would have foretold.
我想 他不会受很多苦吧 I suppose he doesn't suffer?
哦 不 我觉得他会 Oh, yes, I think he does.
没有人知道 像他一样残疾 One has no idea what the suffering may be
会有多么痛苦 to be as maimed as he is.
没有尊严 No dignity.
没有意愿 No power of will.
没有人能不受苦就成为圣洁之人 No one is truly holy without suffering.
圣洁 Holy?
嗯 Yes.
那就是你要理解塞巴斯蒂安的地方了 That's what you've got to understand about Sebastian.
他在很美的地方 你知道 He's in a very beautiful place, you know.
白色的修道院 钟楼 White cloisters, a bell tower,
一排排绿色蔬菜 rows of green vegetables,
夕阳西下时 有个修道士给它们浇水 and a monk watering them when the sun is low.
你知道我不能理解的 You knew I wouldn't understand.
你和朱丽娅 You and Julia.
告诉我 查尔斯 Tell me, Charles,
你昨晚第一次见到我的时候 when you first met me last night,
有没有想 “可怜的科迪莉娅 原来是个多可爱的小女孩” did you think, "Poor Cordelia, such an engaging child",
“长成了一个平庸的 虔诚的老姑娘 "grown into a plain and pious spinster,
做了很多好事” full of good works"?
你有没有想 Did you think...
挫败的 thwarted?
嗯 我有 Yes, I did.
但我现在不确定了 But now I'm not so sure.
很搞笑 你知道 It's funny, you know.
当我在楼上的育婴室 看到你们和奶奶在一起时 That's exactly the word that I thought for you and Julia
想到的也是这个词 when I saw you up in the nursery with Nanny.
挫败的热恋 我想 Thwarted passion, I thought.
我的离婚案 My divorce case,
或者说 是我妻子的离婚案 or rather my wife's,
被安排在和布赖兹赫德的婚期 was due to be heard about the same time
差不多的时候听审 as Brideshead was married.
但他没有凯旋而归 But he was to have no triumphal return.
马奇曼侯爵 Lord Marchmain,
带着戏剧性的不合时宜的喜好 with a taste for the dramatically inopportune,
宣布了他的意图 declared his intention,
考虑到国际形势 in view of the international situation,
他要返回英国 of returning to England
在他的老宅安度晚年 and passing his declining years in his old home.
