1939年冬天 马奇曼侯爵 In the winter of 1939, Lord Marchmain,
考虑到国际形势 in view of the international situation,
宣布他意图返回英国 declared his intention of returning to England
在他的老宅安度晚年 and passing his declining years in his old home.
不论刺耳的声音 Whatever harsh voices
怎样通过传声器对中欧大声呼喊 might be bawling into the microphones of Central Europe
无论机床怎样在军工厂中飞速旋转 and whatever lathes spinning in the armament factories,
马奇曼侯爵的回归 the return of Lord Marchmain
才是他的乡邻们的头等大事 took precedence in his own neighborhood.
朱丽娅和我 Julia and I,
一个月前就离开了布赖兹赫德庄园 who had left Brideshead a month before
以为我们不会再回来了 thinking we should not return,
为了迎接侯爵 又搬了回去 moved back for the reception.
是因为冷 It's-it's the cold.
我忘记英国有多冷了 I'd forgotten how cold it is in England.
确实打倒我了 Quite bowled me over.
您需要什么吗 老爷 Can I get you anything, my lord?
不需要 谢谢你 Nothing, thank you.
卡拉 那些讨厌的药片在哪 Cara, where are those confounded pills?
医生说 每天吃药不能超过三次 The doctor said not more than three times a day.
该死的医生 Damn the doctor!
我受不了了 I feel quite bowled over.
—一杯水 —是 先生 -A glass of water. -Yes, sir.
我今天感觉很不舒服 I don't feel at all a thing today.
这趟旅行让我很累 The journey took it out of me.
应该在多佛[英国东南部港口]住一晚的 Ought to have waited a night at Dover.
威尔克斯 你给我准备了哪些房间 Wilcox, which rooms have you prepared for me?
您的老房间 老爷 Your old rooms, my lord.
哦 不行 太… Oh, it won't do. It's too...
在我恢复之前不行 Not till I'm fit again.
太多楼梯了 Too many stairs.
得在一楼 It has to be on the ground floor.
普楞德 在楼下给我准备一个房间 Plender, get a bed made up for me downstairs.
好的 老爷 Very good, my lord.
我们要把床铺在哪个房间 老爷 Which room shall we put it in, my lord?
啊 Ahh...
中式客厅吧 The Chinese drawing room.
好的 老爷 Very good, my lord.
还有 威尔克斯 And, Wilcox?
要女王床 The queen's bed.
老爷 中式客厅 The Chinese drawing room, my lord,
和女王床 and the queen's bed.
对 对 Yes, yes.
对 Yes.
很少有事情能在家里引起这么多变动 Few things could have caused more stir in the house.
我从没见过有人使用中式客厅 The Chinese drawing room was one I'd never seen used.
女王床是展品之一 The queen's bed was an exhibition piece,
巨大的锦缎床幔 a vast brocade tent
就像圣彼得教堂的祭坛华盖 like the baldachino at Saint Peter's.
大家预见的是充满各种礼节的一天 So what had been foreseen as a day of formality
现在变成了非常忙碌的一天 became one of fierce exertion.
庄园里的木匠都集中过来 The estate carpenters were collected
拆掉大床 to dismantle the bed,
在下午 一块一块地 and it came down the main staircase
从主楼梯运下来 at intervals during the afternoon.
马奇曼侯爵似乎从他心血来潮 Lord Marchmain seemed to derive comfort
引发的结果中得到了满足 from the consequences of his whim.
他也没有表现出想离开的意思 And as he showed no inclination to move,
有人给我们送茶进来 tea was brought to us in the hall.
我敢说 在夏天到来之前 I daresay I shan't really be fit again
我都不会恢复了 until the summer comes.
我指望着你们四个逗我开心了 I look to you four to amuse me.
跟我说说布赖兹赫德的求爱 Tell me the circumstances of Brideshead's courtship.
似乎他是先遇到她先夫的 It seems he met her late husband first.
他们有共同的爱好 They shared the same hobby.
是什么 What was that?
(收集)火柴盒 Matchboxes.
显然 马斯帕特海军上将有着这个国家 Admiral Muspratt apparently had one on the finest collections
最好的收藏 in the country.
火柴盒 Matchboxes.
我想 她过了生育年龄吧 I think she's past childbearing.
谢谢你 Thank you.
在意大利 没人相信将会有战争 In ltaly, no one believes there's going to be a war.
他们觉得 一切都会被安排好 They think it'll all be arranged.
朱丽娅 我猜 你再也没有接触 I suppose, Julia, you no longer have access
政治信息的途径了 to political information.
幸好 卡拉通过婚姻 成为了英国公民 Cara here is fortunately a British citizen by marriage.
这不是她习惯提起的 It's not a thing she customarily mentions,
但事实证明很有价值 but it may prove valuable.
法律上讲 她是希克斯女士 是吧 亲爱的 She is legally Mrs. Hicks, are you not, my dear?
我们对希克斯了解很少 We know little of Hicks,
但是 尽管如此 如果战争来临 but we shall be grateful to him nonetheless
我们要感谢他 if it comes to war.
而你 我猜 会成为一名官方画家吧 And you, you will, I suppose, be an official artist?
一战期间 英国战争部指定一批画家描绘战争进程 二战期间也有类似之举
不 实际上 No, as a matter of fact.
我现在在和特殊预备队商谈 I am negotiating now
准备接受他们的委任 for a commission in the Special Reserve.
哦 Oh.
唉 你应该成为画家 Well, you should be an artist.
上次打仗的时候[指一战] 有个画家跟了我几周 I had one with me during the last war for weeks,
直到我们上前线 till we went up the line.
哦 Oh!
哦 这看上去真的非常好 Oh, it really looks remarkably well.
哦 我真的祝贺你们 Oh, I do congratulate you.
啊 对 真的 Ah, yes, indeed.
威尔克斯 我似乎记得有个银盆和银壶 Wilcox, I seem to remember a silver basin and ewer.
原来放在我们过去称为“爱尔兰更衣室”的房间 It stood in what we used to call "The lrish Dressing Room."
想想看 我们把它们放在这个台子上(怎么样) Suppose we put it here on the console.
好的 Very good.
让普楞德和加斯通过来找我 Send Plender and Gaston to me.
告诉他们 别担心行李了 Tell them not to worry about the luggage.
只需要我的衣物箱和今晚要用的东西 Just my dressing case and things for the night.
哦 普楞德会知道的 Oh, Plender will know.
现在 你们都走吧 Now, if you'll all leave me,
我要睡觉 I'll go to bed.
我们待会见 We'll meet later.
你们都要过来 跟我一起吃饭 You'll all come and dine with me here
逗我开心 and keep me amused.
当然 爸爸 Of course, Papa.
查尔斯 Charles?
这里看上去真的不错 对吧 It really looks very well, doesn't it?
非常好 Very well.
你会画下来吧 嗯 You might paint it, eh?
就叫《临终病榻》 Call it The Death Bed.
他是什么意思 Did he mean that?
对 他是回家来等死的 Yes. He has come home to die.
但今天下午 But this afternoon,
他还非常自信地说起恢复 he was speaking so confidently of recovery.
那是因为他病得太重 That's because he was so ill.
当他清醒时 When he is himself,
他知道他要死了 也接受了 he knows he's dying and accepts it.
他的病时好时坏 His sickness is up and down.
有时候一天 或者好几天 One day, sometimes several days,
他都很硬朗 充满活力 准备好面对死亡 he is strong and lively and then ready for death.
剩下的日子 他消沉而害怕 Other days, he is down and afraid.
我不知道 当他越来越消沉时 会怎么样 I don't know how it will be when he is more and more down.
那很快就要到来了 That will come in good time.
罗马的医生说 他只能活不到一年了 The doctors in Rome gave him less than a year.
有个人正从伦敦过来 我想明天会到 There is someone coming from London, I think, tomorrow,
他会告诉我们更多 who will tell us more.
是什么病 What is it?
他的心脏 His heart,
一种名字很长的心脏病 some long word of the heart.
他将死于一种名字很长的病 He is dying of a long word.
我从没像现在一样 在乎过家庭信仰的问题 I've not been much moved by family piety until now,
但我一想到贝瑞尔将会坐到 but I am frankly appalled at the prospect
我母亲从前在这个家里坐的位置 of Beryl taking what was once my mother's place
就感觉非常惊恐 in this house.
为什么要让那对没教养 没孩子的夫妻坐在这里 Why should that uncouth couple sit here childless
眼看着房子在他们周围崩塌 while the house crumbles about their ears?
我不跟你们装 I will not disguise from you
我不喜欢贝瑞尔 that I have taken a dislike to Beryl.
也许 我们在罗马见面是个错误 Perhaps it was unfortunate that we should meet in Rome.
几乎其他任何地方 Almost any other place
都会让我更有同情心 would have been more sympathetic.
但考虑一下 Yet, when one considers it,
我在哪里见她 才不会觉得反感呢 where could I have met her without repugnance?
我们在瑞涅利吃饭 一个很多年来 We dined at Raineri's, a quiet little restaurant
我经常去的安静的小餐厅 which I have frequented for years.
毫无疑问 你们知道的 No doubt you know it.
贝瑞尔似乎占满了整个餐厅 Beryl seemed to fill the place.
当然 我是主人 I, of course, was host,
但听到贝瑞尔催我儿子吃饭 but to hear Beryl press my son with food,
你会另作他想 you would have thought otherwise.
布赖兹赫德一直是个贪吃的孩子 Brideshead was always a greedy boy.
真心为他考虑的妻子 A wife with his best interests at heart
理应试着约束他 would rather have tried to restrain him.
但那也不太重要 But that's a matter of small importance.
毫无疑问 她听说了我是个生活不规矩的人 No doubt she had heard of me as a man of irregular life.
她对我的态度 我只能用无赖来描述 I can only describe her manner to me as roguish.
一个下流的老头 那就是她对我的看法 A naughty old man, that's what I was.
我想 她见过下流的海军上将 I suppose she's met naughty old admirals
知道如何取悦他们 and knew how they were to be humored.
我不想重复她的话 I will not attempt to describe her conversation.
但我会给你们举个例子 But I will give you one example.
那天早上 他们去梵蒂冈听教皇布道 They had been to an audience at the Vatican that morning,
教皇还祝福了他们的婚姻 a blessing on their marriage.
你们知道 她对我说了什么吗 And do you know what she said to me?
“马奇曼侯爵” 她说 "Lord Marchmain," she said,
“我感觉好像我才是那个 牵着新娘的人” "I felt as though it was I who was leading the bride."
她说这话时非常粗俗 it was said with great indelicacy.
到现在 我都还没弄清楚她的意思 I can't yet quite fathom what she meant.
她是在取笑我儿子的名字 Was she making a play on my son's name,
新娘Bride和布赖迪Bridey非常接近
又或者 你们觉得呢 or was she, do you think,
是暗指他还守着处男之身 referring to his undoubted virginity?
我觉得是后者 I fancy the latter.
我觉得 她在这 I don't think she would quite be
也不太适应 你们觉得呢 in her proper element here, do you?
我应该把这留给谁呢 Who shall I leave it to?
限定继承到我这就结束了 你们知道吗 The entail ended with me, you know?
限定继承：继承财产必须遵照特定的继承人顺序 一般第一顺次为长子
塞巴斯蒂安 唉 不用说了 Sebastian, alas, is out of the question.
谁想要 Who wants it?
小测试 A quiz!
你想要吗 卡拉 Would you like it, Cara?
哈 Huh?
不 你当然不想要 No, of course you would not.
科迪莉娅 Cordelia?
嗯 Mm...
我想 我应该留给朱丽娅和查尔斯 I think I shall leave it to Julia and Charles.
当然不行 爸爸 这是布赖迪的 Of course not, Papa. It's Bridey's.
也是贝瑞尔的咯 And Beryl's?
我要让格雷森哪天赶紧过来一趟 I shall have Gregson down one day soon
解决这件事 and go over the matter.
是时候改改我的遗嘱了 It's time I brought my will up to date.
里面都是不正常的 过时的东西 It's full of anomalies and anachronisms.
我想让朱丽娅住在这 I have taken a fancy to the idea of installing Julia here.
今晚真美 亲爱的 So beautiful this evening, my dear.
一直都很美 So beautiful always.
更适合(这里) Much more suitable.
你觉得 他真的打算把庄园留给我们吗 Do you think he really means to leave it to us?
对 我觉得是 Yes, I think he does.
但这对布赖迪很不公平 But it's monstrous for Bridey.
是吗 Is it?
我觉得他并不很在乎这里 I don't think he cares much for the place.
我在乎 你知道吗 I do, you know?
他和贝瑞尔在别处的小房子里 He and Beryl will be much more content
会更满足 in some little house somewhere.
所以 你打算接受 So you mean to accept?
当然 Certainly.
这是爸爸想留给我们的 It's Papa's to leave as he likes.
我觉得 你和我住在这会很幸福 I think you and I could be very happy here.
布赖兹赫德和他妻子度完蜜月回来 Brideshead and his wife returned from their honeymoon
住了几晚 and stayed a few nights.
那正是病重期 It was one of the bad times,
马奇曼侯爵拒绝让他们靠近他 and Lord Marchmain refused to have them near him.
“张伯伦先生在伯明翰公开演讲 "Mr. Chamberlain opened his speech in Birmingham
说 明天 "by saying that tomorrow
他将迎来70岁生日 "he would attain his 70th birthday
既然他仍然身体健全 "and that as he felt still sound in mind and limb,
他希望 在他下台之前 还能有几年 "he hoped he might have a few more years before him
为这个国家做出他的贡献” in which to give what service he could to the state."
“这番言论受到了欢呼喝彩” "This remark was greeted with cheers."
我要继续吗 Shall I go on?
好的 如果这不让你觉得厌烦的话 Yes, do, if it's not boring you.
不会 No.
张伯伦 Chamberlain...
我认识他 I knew him.
平庸之辈 Mediocre fellow.
布赖迪 抱歉 Bridey, I'm sorry.
他很累 He's terribly tired.
他今天不能见任何人 He can't see anyone else today.
哦 亲爱的 Oh, dear.
真让人失望 你确定吗 How very disappointing. Are you quite sure?
他筋疲力尽了 He's very exhausted.
对 我看出来了 Yes, I do see.
也许明天他会好些 Perhaps tomorrow, he'll be brighter.
好吧 我恐怕贝瑞尔等不了那么久 Well, I'm afraid Beryl simply can't wait any longer.
她得回去看孩子 She has to get back to the children.
你能想象 As you can imagine,
这对她来说非常痛苦 this is very distressing for her.
她最急着想见他 She was most anxious to see him.
你知道 在罗马 她很快就喜欢他了 You know, she formed an instant liking to him in Rome.
一天早上 麦凯神父 One morning, Father Mackay,
梅尔斯蒂的教区神父 the parish priest from Melstead,
出于礼节过来拜访 came to call as a matter of politeness.
不 别麻烦了 我没事 No, don't bother. I'll be all right.
早上好 Good morning.
科迪莉娅用道歉和借口敷衍了他一番 Cordelia put him off with apologies and excuses,
当他走后 她说 “还不行” but when he was gone, she said, "Not yet."
“爸爸现在还不想见他” "Papa doesn't want him yet."
查尔斯 我看宗教会是很大的问题 Charles, I see great church trouble ahead.
他们就不能让他平静地死去吗 Can't they even let him die in peace?
他们的平静有完全不同的意思 They mean something so different by peace.
这简直是暴行 It would be an outrage.
没人能说清楚 他这一辈子里 No one could have made it plainer in his life
对宗教的看法 what he thought of religion.
现在 他的意识模糊了 没有力气反抗的时候 They come to him now when his mind's wandering
他们过来了 and he hasn't the strength to resist
宣称他要做临终忏悔 and claim him as a death bed penitent.
到目前为止 我对他们的宗教还有点尊重 I've had some respect for their religion up to now,
但如果他们那么做 but if they do that,
那我就会知道 愚蠢的人们说的都是真的 then I'll know that what stupid people say is true,
那都是迷信和诡计 that it is all superstition and trickery.
你不同意吗 嗯 Don't you agree? Hmm?
我不知道 查尔斯 我就是不知道 I don't know, Charles. I simply don't know.
病重的几周过得很慢 The weeks of illness wore on,
全家人的生活与病人 and the life of the house kept pace
衰弱的状况保持步调一致 with the faltering strength of the sick man.
哦 嚯 哦 嚯 不 不 Oh, ho! Oh, ho, no, no.
太好了 我不相信 It's too good. I don't believe it.
我不-不… I don't-don't-
科迪莉娅 你没有故意让我赢 对吧 Cordelia, you didn't let me win on purpose, did you?
当然没有 爸爸 Of course not, Papa.
威尔克斯说 画厅准备好了 Wilcox says the painted parlor's ready.
您真的想这么做吗 Do you really want to do this?
做什么 朱丽娅 What's that, Julia?
爸爸似乎今早跟威尔克斯说 Apparently Papa told Wilcox this morning
他想搬到画厅去 he wants to move to the painted parlor.
呃 我改变主意了 Well, I've changed my mind.
您为什么一定要搬呢 Why should you move?
您在这很舒服 You're comfortable here.
她要去哪 Where's she going?
别担心 亚历克斯 她会回来的 Don't worry, Alex. She's coming back.
你想让我读报给你听吗 Do you want me to read to you?
不 No.
我要先报仇 I'll get my revenge first.
我猜 你想让白棋赢这一局 I suppose you want the whites to win this one.
二月末的一天 他叫了一辆汽车 Once, at the end of February, he called for a car
走到了北门前阶 and got as far as the north front steps.
然后他突然失去了乘车的兴趣 Then suddenly he lost interest in the drive.
不 现在不行 No, not now.
以后再说 Later.
夏天再说吧 Sometime... in the summer.
病重期越来越长 越来越频繁 The bad spells became longer and more frequent.
他分不清白天黑夜 Days and nights became indistinguishable to him.
(家里)请了一位护士 A nurse was engaged.
我可要好好诉诉苦 I have a very serious complaint to make,
科迪莉娅小姐 Lady Cordelia.
我从没见过这样的房间 I've never seen such a room,
我在哪都没见过 nothing like it anywhere in all my experience.
这样的条件下 我怎么可能 How can I possibly nurse his lordship
照顾好老爷 in conditions like this?
我一定要坚持让我的病人搬到 I must insist that my patient is moved
有热自来水 where there's running hot water,
和一张我可以躺躺的小床 a small, narrow bed that I can get round,
还有我自己的更衣室的房间 and a dressing room for myself.
那都是我习惯的东西 It's only what I'm used to.
对不起 护士 I'm sorry, Nurse.
我们试过 但这不可能 We have tried, but it's hopeless.
他不愿意搬 He won't be moved.
那我可不负责任 Then I can't answer for the consequences.
不久 就没有复原期了 Presently, there were no good spells,
在他的迅速衰退中只有片刻的起伏好转了 merely brief fluctuations in the speed of his decline.
布赖迪被叫回来了 Bridey was called back.
那是复活节假期 It was the Easter holidays,
贝瑞尔忙于照顾她的孩子 and Beryl was busy with her children.
他独自前来 He came alone.
爸爸必须见见神父 Papa must see a priest.
哦 布赖迪 你觉得他会见吗 Oh, Bridey, do you think he would?
我得让他同意 I shall see that he does.
我让麦凯神父明天就过来 I've just asked Father Mackay to come tomorrow.
我会亲自带他进来 I'll take him in myself.
尽管我们都没有提起 Although none of us had spoken of it,
但我感觉 在马奇曼侯爵 I felt the question ever present
病重的那几周 这个问题一直存在 through the weeks of Lord Marchmain's illness.
当科迪莉娅清晨 I saw it when Cordelia
开车去做弥撒时 我看到了 drove off early in the mornings to Mass.
当卡拉开始和她一起去时 我看到了 I saw it as Cara took to going with her.
现在 布赖兹赫德用他自己的冷酷方式 Now Brideshead, in his own ruthless way,
把这个问题甩在我们面前 had planted the problem down before us.
好吧 布赖兹赫德爵爷 Well, now, Lord Brideshead,
您觉得那位可怜的老人 现在准备好见我了吗 do you think the poor soul would be ready to see me?
我确定 神父 I'm sure, Father.
护士说他昨晚睡得很好 The nurse said he had a good night.
您跟我一起去吧 Would you care to come with me?
这些都好严肃 This is all so serious.
听着 “利埃维拉的四月活动” Listen, "April events on the Riviera:".
“蒙特卡洛将会举办一次义卖集会 "There will be a fête in Monte Carlo,
瑞吉纳德·费洛斯女士组织了一次慈善晚会” and Mrs. Reginald Fellows has organized a charity gala."
不知疲倦的老家伙 Indefatigable old bag!
我带麦凯神父来见您 爸爸 I've brought Father Mackay to see you, Papa.
谁 Who?
麦凯神父 爸爸 Father Mackay, Papa.
麦凯神父 Father Mackay.
你被带到这来 我恐怕 I'm afraid you've been brought here
这当中有误会 under a misapprehension.
我还没到要死的时候呢 I am not in extremis,
我也有25年 and I have not been
没参加过你们教会的活动了 a practicing member of your church for 25 years.
布赖兹赫德 Brideshead...
我觉得 你应该送麦凯神父出去 I think you should see Father Mackay out,
是不是 don't you?
继续读吧 亲爱的 Do go on reading, darling.
请吧 我的爱 Please, love.
“俄国的芭蕾舞季将在 "The Russian ballet season will open
马西涅先生的指导下开幕 "under the direction of Monsieur Massine,
《群花之争》将会在尼斯上演” and the Battle of Flowers will take place at Nice."
神父 我只能向您道歉了 Father, I can only apologize.
可怜的老人 Poor soul.
听着 他看到了一张陌生的脸 Mark you, it was seeing the strange face.
就是这个原因 You may depend on it.
就是因为这个 陌生的不速之客 That's what it was: The unexpected stranger.
其实 我自己很能理解 Indeed I can understand it well myself.
抱歉 神父 I'm sorry, Father.
让您这么大老远过来 It's wretched to have brought you all this way.
千万别这么说 科迪莉娅小姐 Don't talk about it at all, Lady Cordelia.
唉 我在戈伯斯还被扔过瓶子呢 Why, I've had bottles thrown at me in the Gorbals.
给他点时间 Give him time.
我见过更糟糕的病人 最终优雅地死去 I've known worse cases make beautiful deaths.
现在 如果你们不介意 Now, if you'll excuse me,
我去看看霍金斯女士 I'll pay a visit to Mrs. Hawkins.
我会再打电话的 I'll call again.
为他祈祷 Pray for him.
您认识路吗 神父 Do you know your way, Father?
我认识 Indeed I do.
我想 这次会面似乎不成功 Do I gather the visit was not a success?
是的 It was not.
科迪莉娅 等麦凯神父从奶奶那里下来 Cordelia, will you drive Father Mackay home
你能开车送他回去吗 when he comes down from Nanny's?
我要去给贝瑞尔打电话 看看她需不需要我回去 I'm going to telephone Beryl to see if she needs me at home.
布赖迪 Bridey...
这很恐怖 it was horrible.
我们要怎么做 What are we going to do?
我们把眼下能做的都做了 We've done all we can for the moment.
要命的布赖迪 Damn Bridey.
我就知道不行 I knew it wouldn't work.
我感觉大获全胜 I felt triumphant.
我是对的 其他所有人都是错的 I had been right. Everyone else had been wrong.
真理胜利了 Truth had prevailed.
在喷泉那里 The threat I had felt
我感觉到的 悬在朱丽娅和我头顶的威胁 hanging over Julia and me at the fountain
被解除了 也许永远消失了 had been averted, perhaps dispelled forever.
胡言乱语走了 Mumbo jumbo's off.
那个巫医走了 The witch doctor's gone.
可怜的爸爸 Poor Papa.
这对布赖迪来说一定很失望 It's great sucks to Bridey.
我不太明白 为什么你这么在意 I can't quite see why you've taken it so much to heart
不想让我父亲接受临终圣礼 that my father shall not have the last sacraments.
呃 那都是些巫术和虚伪的东西 Well, it's such a lot of witchcraft and hypocrisy,
不是吗 isn't it?
是吗 Is it?
这仪式已经延续了两千多年 It's been going on for nearly 2,000 years.
我真的不知道为什么 I really don't know why
你现在忽然对这件事这么激动 you should suddenly get so excited about it now.
看在上帝的份上 For Christ's sake,
写封信给《泰晤士报》 write a letter to The Times,
去海德公园做演讲 get up and make a speech in Hyde Park,
发动一场“消灭罗马天主教”暴动 start a "No Popery" riot,
但别拿这件事来烦我了 but don't bore me about it.
我父亲见不见教区神父 What's it got to do with you or me
跟你我有什么关系 whether my father sees his parish priest?
还有—— There was also-
我现在能承认了—— I can now confess it-
另一个意想不到的 不可言说的 another unexpressed, inexpressible,
不合时宜的小胜利 indecent little victory
我在暗中庆祝 that I was furtively celebrating.
我猜 早上发生的事 I guessed that the morning's business
让布赖兹赫德离他的合法遗产 had put Brideshead some considerable way further
更远了 from his rightful inheritance.
这一点上 我是对的 In that, I was correct.
那天下午 A man was sent for
伦敦的律师们派了一个人过来 from the solicitors in London that afternoon.
很快 全家人都知道了 It soon became known throughout the house
马奇曼侯爵另立了新遗嘱 that Lord Marchmain had made a new will.
但我认为宗教论战 But I was wrong in thinking
已经平息的想法是错的 that the religious controversy was quashed.
那晚 吃过晚饭之后 论战再度爆发 It flared up again that evening after dinner.
爸爸说的是 “我还没到要死的时候 What Papa said was, "I am not in extremis.
我有25年没参加过 "I have not been a practicing member
教会的活动了” of the church for 25 years."
不是“教会” 是“你们的教会” Not "the church," "your church."
我看没有区别 I don't see the difference.
很有区别 There's every difference.
布赖迪 他的意思非常清楚 Bridey, it is perfectly plain what he meant.
我想 他的意思就是字面意思 I presume he meant what he said.
他的意思是 他不习惯 He meant he was not accustomed
定期接受圣礼 regularly to receive the sacrament,
既然他还没到要死的时候 and since he was not at that moment dying,
他就还不打算改变 he did not intend to change his ways yet.
那是诡辩 But that's simply a quibble.
为什么一个人试图表达准确的时候 Why do people always think one is quibbling
人们总觉得他是在诡辩呢 when one tries to be precise?
他的意思很简单 就是 His plain meaning was that
那天他不想见到神父 he did not wish to see a priest that day
但他要死的时候 就会见的 but that he would when he was in extremis.
我要再喝点咖啡 I wonder if there's any more coffee.
我希望有人能跟我解释 I wish somebody would explain to me
这些圣礼有什么意义 what the significance of these sacraments is.
你们的意思是 如果没有神父在场 Do you mean that if he dies without a priest,
他独自死去 就会下地狱 quite alone, that he goes to hell?
而如果神父在场 在他身上涂了圣油… And that if the priest is there and puts oil on him-
不 不是圣油的问题 No, it's not the oil.
那是为了治愈他 That heals him.
这就更奇怪了 Odder still.
好吧 不管他做什么 Well, whatever it is he does,
做完之后 他就能升入天堂 that then he goes to heaven?
你们相信的就是这个吗 Now, is that what you believe?
我记得 我的护士告诉我 要不就是别人说的 I think my nurse told me, or someone did anyway,
如果神父在尸体变冷之前进去 that if the priest got there before the body was cold,
就没关系 it was all right.
是这样吗 That's so, isn't it?
不 卡拉 不是 No, Cara. It isn't.
当然不是 Certainly not.
你完全理解错了 You've got it all wrong.
你们这些天主教徒 到底知不知道 Do any of you Catholics know exactly what good
神父能有什么好处 you think this priest will do?
你们这样安排 只是为了 Do you simply want to arrange it
能让你们的父亲有一场基督教葬礼吗 so that your father can have a Christian burial?
或者说 你们不想让他下地狱 Or do you want to keep him out of hell?
我只是想听你们说 I only want to be told.
那是同一件事 They're the same thing.
就像你说的 不下地狱 To keep out of hell, as you put it,
和举行基督教葬礼 and to have a Christian burial,
他必须按照(自己的)意愿行事 he must make an act of the will.
他必须悔悟 想得到救赎 He has to be contrite and wish to be reconciled.
只有上帝知道 他有没有按照(自己的)意愿行事 Only God knows whether he has made that act of will.
你是说 有时候神父并不知道 You mean sometimes the priest doesn't know?
他未必知道 Not necessarily.
所以 很有可能 So it's quite possible
一个人的意愿可能还存在 that the will may still be working
但他太虚弱 无法外在地表现出来 when a man is too weak to make any outward sign of it?
他可能躺着(不动) 好像死了 He may be lying as though dead.
对 而且一直想要被救赎 Yes, and willing all the time to be reconciled.
上帝理解的 God understands that.
教会也是 So does the Church.
所以她[指教会]能给他临终圣礼 So she is able to give him the last sacraments.
我以前从没听过这些 I never heard that before.
所以 如果没有神父在场 So if the priest isn't there,
他独自按照意愿行事 and he makes the act of will alone,
那跟有神父在场一样 that's as good as if there is a priest.
对吗 Is that right?
差不多吧 More or less.
好吧 看在上帝的份上 Well, for heaven's sake,
神父有什么用呢 what's the priest for?
我只知道 All that I know
(如果是我) 在请神父这件事上 is that I shall take very good care
我会非常谨慎 to have a priest.
愿上帝保佑你 Bless you.
我相信 那就是最好的答案 I believe that's the best answer.
我希望 你不要再挑起这些关于宗教的争论了 I wish you wouldn't start these religious arguments.
不是我挑起的 I didn't start it.
你说服不了任何人 You don't convince anyone else,
你甚至没有真正说服你自己 and you don't really convince yourself.
我只是想知道 这些人相信的是什么 I only want to know what these people believe.
他们说 一切都基于逻辑 They say it's all based on logic.
如果你让布赖迪说完 If you'd let Bridey finish,
他会把一切说得很有逻辑 he would have made it all quite logical.
你们有四个人 There were four of you.
卡拉对此一无所知 Cara didn't know the first thing it was about
可能相信 可能不相信 and may or may not have believed it.
你了解一点 但完全不相信 You knew a bit and didn't believe a word.
科迪莉娅(跟你)了解的差不多 但疯狂地相信 Cordelia knew about as much and believed it madly.
只有可怜的布赖迪 很了解 也很相信 Only poor Bridey both knew and believed,
我觉得 一旦要他解释 and I thought he made a pretty poor show
他就表现得很差劲 when it came to explaining.
人们开始说 And people go about saying,
“至少天主教徒了解他们相信的是什么” "At least Catholics know what they believe."
好吧 今晚 我们进行了一次公正的剖析 Well, we had a fair cross section there tonight.
哦 查尔斯 不要夸夸其谈 Oh, Charles, don't rant.
我开始觉得 你要产生疑惑了 I shall begin to think you're getting doubts.
一周周过去 The weeks passed,
马奇曼侯爵还活着 and still Lord Marchmain lived on.
六月 我的离婚案终结了 In June, my divorce was made absolute.
朱丽娅九月才能获得自由 Julia would be free in September.
我们的婚期越来越临近 The nearer our marriage got,
我发现 朱丽娅说起时变得越来越渴望 the more wistfully I noticed Julia spoke of it.
战争也在逼近 War was growing nearer too.
但马奇曼侯爵的思绪早已远离世界大事 But Lord Marchmain's mind was far from world affairs.
那时那地 他只关心自己 It was there on the spot, turned in on himself.
他没有力气关心其他战争 He had no strength for any other war
除了他自己的 为了活下去而做的孤独斗争 than his own solitary struggle to keep alive.
今天好点了 Better today.
我现在能看到 I can see now,
那些鹅从百合花上飞过 where the geese are flying over the lilies,
昨天我糊涂了 where yesterday I was confused
把百合花当成了天鹅 and took the lilies for swans.
很快 我就会看到那些鹅出发 Soon I shall see where the geese are headed
聚集起来 飞过镜子 when they gather to fly over the looking glass.
明天会更好 Better tomorrow.
我们家的人都活得长 结婚晚 We live long in our family and marry late.
73岁 73.
不算太老 No great age.
朱丽娅姑祖母 我父亲的姑母 Aunt Julia, my father's aunt,
活到了88岁 lived to be 88.
生在这 死在这 Born and died here.
一生未婚 Never married.
(她)看到特拉法加之战时 毕肯山上的火光 Saw the fire on Beacon Hill for the battle of Trafalgar.
特拉法加之战：1805年发生的海战 英国击败法国和西班牙联军 巩固海上霸主地位
总把这里叫做“新房子” Always called it "the new house."
那是他们在育婴室和田地里时 That was their name for it in the nursery
对这里的称呼 那时 不识字的人 and in the fields when unlettered men
有长久的记忆 had long memories.
你能看到 旧房子曾坐落在 You can see where the old house stood
乡村教堂旁边 near the village church.
他们把那里叫做“城堡山” They called the field Castle Hill,
霍利克的地 地面不平 Horlick's Field, where the ground's uneven,
大部分都荒废了 and most of it waste,
荨麻和石楠 nettle, and briar
长在很深的坑洼里 没法耕种 in hollows too deep for plowing.
那是我们的根 Those were our roots,
在城堡山荒废的坑洼里 in the waste hollows of Castle Hill.
那时 我们都是骑士 We were knights then,
阿金库尔战役之后 我们才成为男爵 barons since Agincourt.
阿金库尔战役：1415年爆发的一次军事冲突 英法百年战争中著名的以少胜多的战役
更高的荣誉最后才来 The larger honors came the last,
却最先走了 and they'll go the first.
大概是说最后被封的最高荣誉 在继承的降级中最先失去
男爵的爵位一直继承下去 The barony goes on.
等布赖兹赫德去世之后 When Brideshead's buried,
朱丽娅的儿子会以 Julia's son will be called
他出生在全盛时期 by the name his fathers bore
之前的祖先命名 before the fat days.
从剪羊毛和广阔的 The days of wool shearing
玉米地的日子 and the wide corn lands
到生长 搭建的日子 to the days of growth and building
那时 沼泽被排干 when the marshes were drained
荒地被开垦为耕地 and the waste land brought under the plow.
一个人建了房子 When one built the house,
他的儿子加上穹顶 his son added the dome.
他(儿子)的儿子添上两翼[侧房] His son spread the wings
筑起河堤 and dammed the river.
他有活下去的强烈意愿 不是吗 He's got a wonderful will to live, hasn't he?
你要这么说吗 Would you put it like that?
我会说 是对死亡的极度恐惧 I'd say a great fear of death.
有区别吗 Is there a difference?
哦 哎呀 有 Oh, dear me, yes.
从恐惧中 他得不到任何力量 He doesn't derive any strength from his fear.
这让他筋疲力尽 It's wearing him out.
再见 赖德先生 Good-bye, Mr. Ryder.
再见 医生 Good-bye, Doctor.
我明早会打电话过来 I'll call in tomorrow morning.
嗯 Mm.
今天好点了 Better today.
我很小心 I've lived carefully,
没让自己吹到冷风 protected myself from the cold winds,
适量地吃当季的食物 eaten moderately of what was in season,
喝上好的葡萄酒 drunk fine claret,
睡在我自己的床铺上 slept in my own sheets.
我会活得很长的 I shall live long.
当我50岁时 When I was 50,
他们让我们下车 把我们送上前线 they dismounted us and sent us up the line.
“年纪大的人待在基地” 指令这样说 "Old men stay at the base," the orders said.
沃尔特·维纳布斯 我的指挥官 Walter Venables, my commanding officer,
我最近的邻居 他说 my nearest neighbor, he said,
“你跟他们当中最年轻的小伙子一样强壮 亚历克斯” "You are as fit as the youngest of them, Alex."
那时是的 So I was.
现在还是 So I am now,
如果我 if l...
如果我还能呼吸的话 If I could breathe.
等夏天到了 When summer comes,
我就会下床 I shall leave my bed
坐在外面 and... sit in the open air,
自由地呼吸 breathe more freely.
当风吹下山谷 When the wind comes down the valley
一个人转身迎上 and a man can turn to meet it
大口呼吸空气 and fill himself with air
就像水边的野兽 like a beast at water.
我会接受的 I'll take it.
他们为什么要给我挖这个洞 Why have they dug this hole for me?
一个人一定得在自己的地窖里闷死吗 Must a man stifle to death in his own cellar?
普楞德 加斯通 开窗 Plender, Gaston, open the windows.
窗户都开得很大 老爷 The windows are all wide open, my lord.
空了 It's empty.
护士 看看 这里没有气出来 Look, Nurse. There's nothing comes out.
不 马奇曼侯爵 挺满的 No, Lord Marchmain, it's quite full.
您能从这里的刻度看出来 You can tell from this dial here.
气压很足呢 It's at full pressure.
听听 您听不到嘶嘶声吗 Listen, can't you hear it hiss?
现在 Now...
试着慢慢呼吸 马奇曼侯爵 try and breathe slowly, Lord Marchmain,
轻轻地 quite gently.
然后你就会很舒服了 Then you'll get the benefit.
就是这样 There.
像空气一样自由 Free as air.
他们这么说 That's what they say.
像空气一样自由 Free as air.
现在 他们把空气装在铁桶里带给我 Now they bring me my air in an iron barrel.
我曾经自由过一次 I was free once.
我以自由之名 I committed a crime
犯过一次罪 in the name of freedom.
科迪莉娅 Cordelia,
小教堂怎么样了 what became of the chapel?
他们把它锁起来了 爸爸 They locked it up, Papa,
在妈咪去世之后 when Mummy died.
那是她的 It was hers.
我为她建的 I built it for her.
那里曾经有位牧师 直到战争爆发 There was a chaplain here until the war.
你还记得他吗 Do you remember him?
那时我太小了 I was too young.
然后我就走了 Then I went away.
我留下她在小教堂祈祷 I left her praying in the chapel.
那是她的 It was hers.
那是她的地方 It was the place for her.
我再也没有回来 打扰过她的祈祷 I never came back to disturb her prayers.
他们说 我们在为自由而战 They said we were fighting for freedom.
我获得了我的胜利 I had my victory.
那是一种罪行吗 Was that a crime?
我觉得是的 爸爸 I think it was, Papa.
你这样觉得吗 孩子 Do you think that, child?
就这样 马奇曼侯爵躺着 等待死亡 Thus Lord Marchmain lay dying,
为活下去的斗争 将自己累得筋疲力尽 wearing himself down in the struggle to live.
因为病情不会迅速恶化 Since there was no reason to expect an immediate change,
科迪莉娅去了伦敦 去和她的妇女组织 Cordelia went to London to see her women's organization
准备应对即将到来的危机 about the coming emergency.
那一天 朱丽娅和我跟卡拉在一起 That day, when Julia and I were alone with Cara,
他的病情忽然恶化 he became suddenly worse.
他要死了吗 Is he dying?
很难说 It's difficult to say.
他真的要死的时候 可能会是这个样子 When he does die, it will probably be like this.
他也可能会从现在的状况中恢复过来 He may recover from the present attack.
唯一能做的 是不要打扰他 The only thing is not to disturb him.
最小的惊吓也会致命 The least shock will be fatal.
我去给麦凯神父打电话 I'm going to telephone Father Mackay.
格兰特医生 我们得阻止这场闹剧 Dr. Grant, we must stop this nonsense.
我负责的是病人的身体 My business is with the body.
这不是我的职责 去争论 It's not my business to argue
人是活着还是死了更好 whether people are better alive or dead
或者他们死后会发生什么 or what happens to them after death.
我只努力让他们活着 I only try to keep them alive.
但你刚刚才说 And you said just now
最小的惊吓也会要他的命 that the least shock would kill him.
对于像他这样怕死的人来说 有什么是比 What could be worse for a man who fears death, as he does,
把一位神父带到他面前更可怕的呢 than to have a priest brought to him?
一位当他还有力气的时候 就拒之门外的神父 A priest he turned out when he had the strength?
我觉得这可能会要他的命 I think it may kill him.
那你会阻止吗 Then you will forbid it?
我没有权力阻止任何事 I have no authority to forbid anything.
我只能提出建议 I can only give an opinion.
医生 Doctor?
抱歉 Excuse me.
卡拉 你怎么想 Cara, what do you think?
我不想让他不高兴 I don't want him made unhappy.
现在的全部希望 That is all there is to hope for now,
就是他能在不知不觉中死去 that he'll die without knowing it.
但尽管如此 我还是觉得应该有神父在场 But I should like the priest there all the same.
但你会试着劝劝朱丽娅 But will you try and persuade Julia
让他到最后再进去 to keep him away until the end?
这样他就不会造成伤害 Then he can do no harm.
我会请她让亚历克斯高兴的 I will ask her to leave Alex happy.
好吧 Yes.
我给布赖迪和科迪莉娅打过电话了 I've telegraphed Bridey and Cordelia.
我希望你同意 I hope you agree that
在他们到这之前 什么都不做 nothing should be done until they arrive.
我希望他们现在就在这 I wish they were here now.
你不能独自承担责任 You can't take the responsibility alone.
(现在在场的)其他人都反对你 Everyone else is against you.
格兰特医生 Dr. Grant,
跟她说说 你刚才跟我说的话 tell her what you told me just now.
我说 见到一位神父的惊吓 I said that the shock of seeing a priest
有可能会要他的命 might well kill him.
如果没有 他可能会熬过这一次 Without that, he may survive this attack.
作为他的医生 As his medical man,
我必须反对任何会打扰他的事 I must protest against anything being done to disturb him.
卡拉 Cara?
我知道你想做到最好 朱丽娅 I know you are doing for the best, Julia,
但你看到了 亚历克斯不是一个虔诚信教的人 but you see, Alex was not a religious man.
他总是(对宗教)嗤之以鼻 He scoffed always.
现在他很虚弱 我们不能乘虚而入 We mustn't take advantage of him, now he's weak,
只为安抚我们自己的良知 to comfort our own consciences.
如果麦凯神父等他没有意识的时候再去 If Father Mackay comes to him when he is unconscious,
那他仍然可以得到一个体面的葬礼 then he can be buried in the proper way,
是不是 神父 can he not, Father?
我去看看他怎么了 I'll go and see how he is.
麦凯神父 您还记得 Father Mackay, do you remember
上一次 马奇曼侯爵是怎么对待您的吗 how Lord Marchmain greeted you last time?
您觉得 他现在有可能改变了吗 Do you think it possible he can have changed now?
感谢上帝 蒙祂恩泽 这有可能 Thank God, by His grace, it is possible.
也许您可以在他睡觉时进去 Perhaps you could go in while he is sleeping,
对他说一些赦罪的话 say the words of absolution over him.
他永远不会知道 He would never know.
我见过很多男女死去 I've seen so many men and women die.
我从不知道有谁后悔临终时有我陪伴 I never knew them sorry to have me there at the end.
是 但他们是天主教徒 Yes, but they were Catholics.
马奇曼侯爵从来不是天主教徒 只是名义上的 Lord Marchmain has never been one except in name.
至少 很多年都不是了 Well, at any rate, not for years.
他对天主教嗤之以鼻 He was a scoffer.
卡拉这么说的 Cara said so.
情况没什么变化 There's no change.
医生 我怎么会对任何人造成惊吓 Now, Doctor, how could I be a shock to anyone?
你知道我要做什么吗 Do you know what I'm going to do?
是很小的一件事 It's something so small.
没什么场面 There's no show about it.
我不穿特别的衣服 你知道吗 I don't wear special clothes, you know?
我就这样进去 I go just as I am.
他知道我现在的样子 不会吓到他的 He knows the look of me now. It's nothing alarming.
哦 朱丽娅 我们要说什么 Oh, Julia. What are we to say?
让我跟他说吧 Let me speak to him.
神父 我真的觉得我们… Father, I really think we-
我只想让他表现出一点小小的同意的意思 I just want him to make some little sign of assent.
不管怎样 我想让他不要拒绝我 I want him, anyway, not to refuse me,
然后我会给他上帝的宽恕 then I want to give him God's pardon.
亚历克斯 Alex?
你还记得梅尔斯蒂的那位神父吗 You remember the priest from Melstead?
麦凯神父 Father Mackay?
他上次来看你时 你对他非常不礼貌 You were very naughty with him when he came to see you.
你深深伤害了他的情感 You hurt his feelings very much.
现在他又来了 Now he's here again.
我想让你见见他 就算看在我的份上 I want you to see him just for my sake...
交个朋友 To make friends.
尽管不是必须的 但我还想给他涂圣油 Though it's not essential, I wanted to anoint him.
这没什么的 只是手指碰一下 It's nothing, a touch of the fingers,
沾一点这个盒子里的油 a little oil from this box,
不会伤害他的 nothing to hurt him.
我觉得 他没听见我说的话 I don't think he heard me.
我以为我知道怎么跟他说 I thought I knew how to put it to him,
但他没有回答我 but he didn't answer me.
如果他没有意识 If he is unconscious,
让他见见神父 不会让他不高兴 it couldn't make him unhappy to see the priest,
对吧 医生 could it, Doctor?
谢谢你的建议 医生 Thank you for your advice, Doctor.
不管发生什么 我会负全部责任 I take full responsibility for whatever happens.
麦凯神父 现在请您过来 见见我父亲 Father Mackay, will you please come and see my father now?
你们现在不会打扰到他了 You won't disturb him now.
—你的意思是… —不 不 -Do you mean... -No, no.
但他现在什么都感觉不到了 But he is past noticing anything.
[拉丁语]
现在 我知道你为一生中的 Now, I know that you are sorry
种种罪孽深感悔悟 是不是 for all the sins of your life, aren't you?
如果可以 就表示一下 Make a sign, if you can.
你真心悔悟 是不是 You are sorry, aren't you?
试着回忆你的罪孽 Try and remember your sins,
然后告诉上帝 你悔悟了 and tell God that you are sorry.
我要给你赦免罪孽 I'm going to give you absolution.
在我给你举行仪式时 And while I'm giving it,
告诉上帝 你悔悟了 你不该违逆祂的旨意 tell God that you are sorry that you have offended Him.
[拉丁语] 我以天父之名赦免你的罪孽… Ego te absolvo ad ómnibus censuria et peccatis...
我听出了赦罪的话语 I recognized the words of absolution
看到神父画了个十字 and saw the priest make the sign of the cross.
然后我也跪下祈祷 Then I knelt too and prayed.
哦 上帝 如果真的有上帝 Oh, God, if there is a God,
请原谅他的罪孽 forgive him his sins,
如果真的有罪孽这种东西 if there is such a thing as sin.
[拉丁语]
我忽然想看到他有所表示 I suddenly felt the longing for a sign,
就算只是出于礼貌 if only of courtesy,
就算只是为了这个我爱着的 if only for the sake of the woman I loved
跪在我前面祈祷的女人 我知道 她在祈祷一个表示 who knelt in front of me praying, I knew, for a sign.
她祈求的似乎是一件很小的事 It seemed so small a thing that was asked,
对收到一个礼物最简单的感谢 the bare acknowledgement of a present,
人群中的一个点头 a nod in the crowd.
我祈祷得更简单 I prayed more simply.
上帝 原谅他的罪孽 God, forgive him his sins,
还有 上帝 请让他接受你的原谅 and, please, God, make him accept Your forgiveness.
我祈求的是多小的一件事啊 So small a thing to ask.
拉丁语 此处翻译为大意
愿光荣归于圣父 圣子 圣神 Ego, facultate mihi ab Apostolica Sede tributa.
起初如何 Indulgentiam plenarium
今日亦然 直到永远 et remissionem omnium pessatorum tibi concedo.
奉圣父 圣子 Et benedico te in nominee Patris
圣灵之名 et Fillii et Spiritus Sancti.
阿门 Amen.
然后 我明白了 我祈求的表示 Then I knew that the sign I had asked for
并不是一件小事 was not a little thing,
不是认出(对方)的短暂颔首 not a passing nod of recognition.
我想起童年时见到的一幕 And a phrase came back to me from my childhood
圣殿的帷帐从上到下被揭开了 of the veil of the temple being rent from top to bottom.
你能送麦凯神父出去吗 Will you see Father Mackay out?
我要在这待一会 I'm staying here for a little.
那真是美好的一幕 Now, that was a beautiful thing to see.
我一次又一次看到 事情这样发生 I've seen it happen that way again and again.
恶魔抵抗到最后一刻 The devil resists to the last moment,
而上帝的恩泽对他来说是无法抵抗的 and then the grace of God is too much for him.
我想 你不是天主教徒吧 赖德先生 You're not a Catholic, I think, Mr. Ryder,
但你很高兴看到小姐夫人们 but you'll be glad for the ladies
借此得到慰藉 to have the comfort of it.
神父 Father,
麻烦您了 我们应该有所表示 we should give you something for your trouble.
哦 不用费心了 赖德先生 Oh, don't think about it, Mr. Ryder.
这是我的荣幸 It was a pleasure.
但不论你愿意给点什么 在我的教区都会有用的 But anything you care to give is useful in a parish like mine.
这可以吗 Is this all right?
嗯 这真是太慷慨了 赖德先生 Well, that's more than generous, Mr. Ryder.
愿上帝保佑你 God bless you.
晚些 我会再过来的 I'll call again later,
但我觉得 那个可怜的老人对这个世界没什么留恋了 but I don't think the poor soul has long for this world.
再见 Good-bye.
朱丽娅一直待在中式客厅 Julia remained in the Chinese drawing room
直到那晚五点 她父亲去世了 until, at 5:00 that evening, her father died,
证明争论的双方 神父和医生 proving both sides right in the dispute,
都是对的 priest and doctor.
马奇曼侯爵去世了 先生 Lord Marchmain's passed away, sir.
非常安详 It was very peaceful.
节哀顺变 先生 If you will excuse me, sir.
朱丽娅 Julia?
我… I...
现在不行 Not now.
我要送卡拉去她房间 I'm taking Cara to her room.
待会吧 Later.
因此 我回想起朱丽娅和我 Thus, I come to the broken sentences
之间最后的谈话 which were the last words spoken
只有只言片语 between Julia and me,
那是我们最后的回忆 the last memories.
她还在楼上的时候 While she was still upstairs,
布赖兹赫德和科迪莉娅从伦敦回来了 Brideshead and Cordelia arrived from London.
最终 我们偷偷地 When at last we met alone,
单独见面时 it was by stealth...
就像年轻的爱侣 Like young lovers.
就在这楼梯上 用一分钟来告别吧 Here on the stairs, a minute to say good-bye.
过了这么久 So long
你只有这么少的话要说 to say so little.
你早就知道了吗 You knew?
今天早上就知道了 Since this morning.
今天早上之前 这一整年都知道 Since before this morning, all this year.
我是直到今天才知道的 I didn't know till today.
哦 亲爱的 如果你能理解我 Oh, my dear, if you could only understand,
那我就能忍受分离 或者能更容易忍受 then I could bear to part or bear it better.
如果我相信有心碎这回事 I'd say my heart were breaking
那我得说 我的心碎了 if I believed in broken hearts.
我不能和你结婚 查尔斯 I can't marry you, Charles.
我再也不能和你在一起了 I can't be with you ever again.
我知道 I know.
你怎么会知道 How can you know?
你要怎么做 What will you do?
就这样继续下去 Just go on.
独自一人 Alone.
我怎么知道 我要怎么做呢 How can I tell what I shall do?
你非常了解我 You know the whole of me.
你知道 我不是那种会用一生哀悼的人 You know I'm not one for a life of mourning.
我一直很坏 I've always been bad.
也许我又会变坏 Probably I shall be bad again,
又被惩罚 punished again.
但我变得越坏 But the worse I am,
我就越需要上帝 the more I need God.
我没法拒绝祂的恩泽 I can't shut myself out from His mercy.
这就是我想说的 和你开始新生活 That is what it would mean, starting a life with you,
就要离开祂 without Him.
一个人只能看到眼前的下一步 One can only see one step ahead.
但我今天看到了一件不可原谅的事 But I saw today, there's one thing unforgivable.
就像在学校教室里犯下的错 Like things in the schoolroom
太过分 以致无法惩罚 so bad they're unpunishable,
只有妈咪能够处理 that only Mummy could deal with.
我差点做出的那件坏事 The bad thing I was on the point of doing
又因为我不够坏 而没有做出的 that I'm not quite bad enough to do,
就是对抗上帝 to set up a rival good to God's.
这可能是因为妈咪 It may be because of Mummy,
奶奶 塞巴斯蒂安 科迪莉娅 Nanny, Sebastian, Cordelia,
也许是布赖迪和马斯帕特女士 perhaps Bridey and Mrs. Muspratt
一直为我祈祷 keeping my name in their prayers.
又或者 这可能是我和上帝私下达成的协议 Or it may be a private bargain between me and God,
如果我放弃一件我非常想做的事 that if I give up this one thing I want so much,
不管我有多坏 however bad I am,
祂最终都不会对我完全绝望 He won't quite despair of me in the end.
现在 我们都要孤身一人 Now we shall both be alone...
而我没有办法让你理解 And I shall have no way of making you understand.
我不想让你好过 I don't want to make it easier for you.
我希望你会心碎 I hope your heart may break.
但我理解 But I do understand.
这是我们遇到过的最差的地方 The worst place we've struck yet.
没有场所 没有设施 No facilities, no amenities,
而且旅部下周就要到了 and brigade headquarters arriving next week,
就驻扎在我们头顶 sitting right on top of us.
马奇曼庄园 Marchmain, the town,
在十英里外 等你们到了那 会发现也很差 is ten miles away and damn-all when you get there.
所以 尉官们首要关注的 It will therefore be the first concern
是要组织 of company officers
他们手下的士兵修养消遣 to organize recreation for their men.
军医 你去看看那些湖 M.O., I want you to take a look at the lakes
适不适合洗澡 to see if they're fit for bathing.
是 长官 Very good, sir.
旅部希望我们替他们打扫房子 Brigade expects us to clean up the house for them.
我想 I should have thought
我看到在总部外面闲逛的 some of those half-shaven scrim-shankers
那些胡子拉扎 吊儿郎当的人 I see lounging around headquarters
会给我们省去这个麻烦 might have saved us the trouble.
但是 However...
赖德 你要去找一个杂役队 Ryder, you will find a fatigue party
在十点三刻之前 到庄园 and report to the quartering commandant
向营地指挥官报道 at the house at 10:45 hours.
他会带你看看 我们要接管的是什么 He'll show you what we're taking over.
是 长官 Very good, sir.
有谁碰巧熟悉这个地方吗 Anyone happen to know this district?
那就这样 开始行动 That's all, then. Get cracking.
—早上好 长官 —早上好 -Good morning, sir. -Morning.
杂役队来报道 接受任务 Fatigue party reporting for duty.
很好 Well done.
啊 这是个很好看的地方 Ah, it's wonderful place in its way.
可惜被破坏得太严重了 Pity to knock it about too much.
进来吧 我带你到处看看 Come in. I'll show you over.
谢谢你 长官 Thank you, sir.
这是个很大的地方 It's a vast warren,
但我们只征用了一楼 but we've only requisitioned the ground floor
和六间卧室 and half a dozen bedrooms.
所以楼上其余的一切都还是私人财产 So everything else upstairs is private property.
有一个看门人和两个老仆人 住在顶楼 There's a caretaker and a couple of old servants live at the top.
他们不会打扰到你们的 They won't be any trouble to you.
小教堂开着 允许军队的人进去 The chapel is open, in bounds to the troops,
竟然有很多人去呢 and a surprising number use it.
这个地方属于朱丽娅·弗莱特小姐 The place belongs to Lady Julia Flyte,
她现在这么称呼自己 as she calls herself now.
她曾经跟莫特兰结过婚 She used to be married to Mottram,
不知道哪个部的部长 the minister for whatever it is.
她为一些妇女工作出国了 She's abroad on some women's service.
我试着替她看管看管 I try to keep an eye on things for her.
真让人惊讶 老侯爵竟然把一切都留给了她 Surprising, the old marquis leaving everything to her.
男孩们就不好受了 Bit rough on the boys.
嗯 Mm.
谢谢你 Thank you.
这是通讯室 This is the signals room.
总之 地方很大 Plenty of space, anyway.
上一拨人把这里弄得一团乱 The last lot made absolute hay of the place.
真可耻 Rather a shame.
我们没把这些画盖起来 真可惜 Pity we didn't have those paintings covered up.
我猜 是现代风格吧 Modern work, I think,
但如果你问我 but if you ask me,
我觉得这是这里最漂亮的东西 quite the prettiest in the place.
有人在这里乱来了 Somebody's made rather a beast of himself there.
都是些搞破坏的穷鬼 Destructive beggars soldiers are.
看到那边的那座喷泉了吗 See that fountain out there?
是我们的女主人很钟爱的地方 Rather a tender spot for our landlady.
在招待宾客的夜晚 年轻军官们 The young officers used to lark about in it
总是在里面胡闹 on guest nights,
现在看起来很脏 and it was all looking a bit the worse for wear,
所以我把它拦起来了 把水关掉了 so I boarded it up and turned the water off.
很壮观 不是吗 Florid great thing, isn't it?
他们把文员安排在这 They put the clerks in here.
不知道为什么 Don't know why, really.
冬天特别冷 Gets bloody cold in winter.
试过油加热器 但没什么用 Tried these oil heaters, but it didn't do much good.
注意点那些半身像 Now, keep an eye on the busts.
有个聪明小伙 Some bright spark managed
把其中一个的头弄下来了 to knock the head off one of them,
打室内冰球 对不起 playing indoor hockey, if you please.
别担心 Don't worry.
不会算在你们头上的 It won't be charged to your lot.
我会建议你 把这个房间给旅长作办公室 I'd advise you to give this room to the brigadier for his office.

里面有张特别大的床 It's got a bloody great bed in it

胡珀 Hooper?
我能不能把你留下来 Is there any chance I can safely leave you
负责管理好这群人半小时 in charge of the working party for half an hour?
我只是在想 我们能不能找点茶喝 I was just wondering if we could scrounge some tea.
看在老天的份上 你们才刚刚开始 For Christ's sake, you've only just started.
他们都很厌烦 They're awfully browned off.
让他们继续干活 Keep them at it.
好嘞 Righty-o.
去把最后四个箱子从卡车上拿下来 Go and get the last four crates out of the truck, will you?
喝口茶吧 Now, what about a sip of tea?
哎呀 是不是赖德先生 Why, isn't it Mr. Ryder?

朱丽娅小姐不在这 Lady Julia's not here,
只有我和两个女孩 only myself here and the two girls
还有可怜的蒙布灵神父 他家被炸了 and poor Father Membling, who was blown up,
片瓦无存 什么家具也没有了 not a roof to his head, not a stick of furniture,
直到朱丽娅好心地收留他 till Julia took him in with the kind heart she's got,
他的精神受到了刺激 and his nerves something shocking.
哦哦 Ooh.
你昨晚听莫特兰先生的演讲了吗 Did you listen to Mr. Mottram last night?
他狠狠骂了希特勒一顿 Very nasty about Hitler, he was.
我对埃菲 那个照顾我的姑娘说 I said to Effie, the girl who does for me,
我说 “如果希特勒在听 I said, "if Hitler was listening
如果他听得懂英语 "and if he understands English,
这点我很怀疑 "which I doubt,
他会觉得很丢人的” he'll feel very small."
你有朱丽娅的消息吗 Have you heard from Julia?
科迪莉娅上周才给我写信过来 From Cordelia, only last week.
他们还在一起 They're together still,
就像以前一样 一直在一起 as they have been all the time,
信的末尾 朱丽娅向我致爱 and Julia sent me love at the bottom of the page.
她们都非常好 但她们不说她们在哪里 They're both very well, but they couldn't say where,
但蒙布灵神父说 从字里行间能看出 but Father Membling said, reading between the lines,
她们在巴勒斯坦 it was Palestine,
布赖迪的义勇骑兵队也在那里 which is where Bridey's yeomanry is,
所以 这对他们来说都很好 so that's all very nice for them.
科迪莉娅说 他们都盼望 Cordelia said they were all looking forward
战争结束 早日回家 to coming home after the war,
我相信我们都这样盼望 which I'm sure we all are.
不过 我能不能活着看到那一天 Though, whether I live to see it
还要另说 is another story.
喂 那些人到底都去哪了 胡珀 Well, where on Earth are the men, Hooper?
呃 他们都去拉垫床草了 Well, they had to go off to draw the bedstraw.
在布洛克中士告诉我之前 我什么都不知道 I didn't know anything about it till Sergeant Block told me.
我不知道他们还会不会回来 I don't know whether they'll be coming back.
你不知道 你下的是什么命令 Don't know? What orders did you give?
呃 我告诉布洛克中士 如果他认为有必要 Well, I told Sergeant Block to bring them back
就把他们带回来 if he thought it was worthwhile,
如果晚饭前还有时间的话 if there'll be time between now and dinner.
你又头脑发热了 胡珀 You've been hotted again, Hooper.
今晚六点之前不该去拉那些草 That straw wasn't to be drawn till 6:00 this evening.
哦 天哪 抱歉 赖德 Oh, Lord. Sorry, Ryder.
是布洛克中士 It was Sergeant Block.
不 是我的错 是我离开了 No, it was my fault for going away.
午饭之后 立刻让这群人集合 Fall in the same party immediately after lunch,
把他们带到这来 bring them back here,
让他们一直待在这 直到工作做完 and keep them here until the job's done.
好嘞 Righty-o.
哦 Oh.
谢谢 Thanks.
我说 I say,
你刚才是不是说 你以前就知道这个地方 did you say you knew this place before?
对 非常熟悉 Yes, very well.
它属于我的朋友 It belongs to friends of mine.
这说不通 It doesn't make any sense,
一家人住在这么大的地方 one family in a place this size.
有什么用 What's the use of it?
我猜 旅部觉得很有用 I suppose brigade finds it useful.
但那不是他们建房子时的目的 对吧 That's not what it's built for, though, is it?
对 No.
这不是他们建房子的目的 It's not what it was built for.
也许那就是建筑的乐趣之一 Maybe that's one of the pleasures of building,
就像生了一个儿子 想着他会怎么长大 like having a son, wondering how he'll grow up.
我不知道 I don't know.
我没修建过什么 I've never built anything.
而且我被剥夺了看我儿子长大的权利 And I forfeited the right to watch my son grow up.
我无家可归 I'm homeless,
无儿无女 childless,
人到中年 middle-aged,
断情绝爱 胡珀 and loveless, Hooper.
你现在回营地去 如果指挥官回来了 Now go on back to camp and keep out of the CO's way
不要碍他的事 if he's back from the recce.
好的 赖德 Okay, Ryder.
还有 胡珀 不要让任何人知道 And, Hooper, don't let on to anyone
我们今天上午什么也没做 that we made a nonsense of this morning.
长久以来无人问津的小教堂 没有显露出破败的样子 The chapel showed no ill effects of its long neglect.
油漆鲜亮 一如既往 The paint was as fresh and bright as ever.
灯光在圣坛前再一次点亮 And the lamp burned once more before the altar.
我跪下 念了祷文 I knelt and said a prayer,
刚学会的 古老的文字 an ancient, newly learned form of words.
我想 建造者们不知道他们的作品 I thought, the builders did not know the uses
会落得什么用途 to which their work would descend.
他们用老城堡的石头建造了一座新房子 They made a new house with the stones of the old castle.
一年又一年 公园里最粗壮的树木 Year by year, the great harvest of timber in the park
长大成材 grew to ripeness,
直到突然霜降 until, in sudden frost,
胡珀的时代到来了 came the age of Hooper.
这个地方荒废了 The place was desolate,
一切成就化为虚无 and the work all brought to nothing.
城市为何孤寂而立 Quomodo sedet sola civitas.
虚无的虚无 Vanity of vanities,
都是虚无 all is vanity.
但我想 And yet, I thought,
那不是最后的话语 that is not the last word.
那甚至不是恰当的话语 It is not even an apt word.
那是十年前就死去的话语 It is a dead word from ten years back.
令建造者们 Something quite remote
始料未及的一些东西 from anything the builders intended
从他们的作品 had come out of their work
和我参演的惨烈的 小小的人类悲剧中 and out of the fierce little human tragedy
产生了 in which I played.
一些当时我们没人想到的东西 Something none of us thought about at the time:
一团小小的红色火焰 A small red flame,
一盏设计很糟糕的铜灯 a beaten copper lamp of deplorable design
在临时营地的铜门前再次点亮 relit before the beaten copper doors of a tabernacle.
这团火焰 This flame,
古老的骑士曾在他们的坟墓里见过 which the old knights saw from their tombs,
他们见过它被扑灭 which they saw put out,
这团火焰又为远离家乡的战士们 the flame burns again for other soldiers
再次燃烧 far from home,
他们的心灵比阿克里和耶路撒冷更远 farther in heart than Acre or Jerusalem.
如果不是因为这些建造者 It could not have been lit
和悲剧演员 灯光不会被点亮 but for the builders and the tragedians,
今早 我发现了它 and there I found it that morning,
在古老的石头中再度燃起 burning anew among the old stones.
早上好 赖德 Morning, Ryder.
你今天看起来非常振奋 You're looking remarkably cheerful today.
