本片讲述了霍华德·比厄的故事，一位联合广播公司《台网新闻》节目的主持人 This story is about Howard Beale, who was the Network News anchorman on UBS TV.
早年间，霍华德·比厄曾是电视界的风云人物 In his time, Howard Beale had been a mandarin of television.
新闻界的元老，他的节目的家庭开机率达16%，观众占有率为28% The grand old man of news, with a HUT rating of 16 and a 28 audience share.
HUT rating/Household Using TV：家庭开机率 Audience share：观众占有率 Television rating：俗称收视率，但本片中没有出现
然而，到了1969年，他的命运开始跌落 In 1969, however, his fortunes began to decline.
观众占有率降到22% He fell to a 22 share.
第二年，他的妻子过世， The following year his wife died,
他成了个无儿无女的鳏夫 and he was left a childless widower
开机率降到8% 观众占有率只有12% with an 8 rating and a 12 share.
他变得情绪低落，离群索居，并开始酗酒 He became morose and isolated, began to drink heavily.
1975年9月22日，他被解雇了， And on September 22, 1975, he was fired
解雇令两周后生效 effective in two weeks.
这个消息是麦克斯·舒马赫透露给他的， The news was broken to him by Max Schumacher
他是UBS的新闻部门的主席 who was the president of the news division at UBS.
两个老朋友为此愤懑不已 The two old friends got properly pissed.
51年那会儿，我和埃德·默罗一起 I was at CBS with Ed Murrow
在CBS（哥伦比亚广播公司）工作 in 1951.
应该是1950年 Must've been 1950, then.
我是NBC（美国全国广播公司）的，呃，早间新闻的助理制片人 I was NBC, uh, associate producer, Morning News.
那会儿我还是个毛头小子，才26岁 I was just a kid, 26 years old.
当时，他们正在建乔治·华盛顿大桥的下层 Anyway, they were building the lower level of the George Washington Bridge.
我们在那儿作远程直播 We were doing a remote from there.
可是没有人通知我 And nobody told me.
过了早上7点，我接到一个电话 Then after 7 in the morning, I get a call.
“你死哪去了？你应该在乔治·华盛顿大桥上！” "Where the hell are you? You're supposed to be on the George Washington Bridge."
我蹦下床，在睡衣外面套了件雨衣 I jump out of bed, throw my raincoat over my pajamas.
冲下楼，跑到街上， I run down the stairs, I run out in the street,
拦了辆出租 对司机说： hail a cab. And I say to the cabby,
“带我到乔治·华盛顿大桥中央” "Take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge."
司机扭过头说， And the cabbie turns around and he says.
他说，“别做傻事儿，老兄” He says,"Don't do it, buddy.
“你还年轻 还有大把的前途在等着你呢” You're a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you."
我以前没跟你说过这事儿吗？ Didn't I ever tell you that one before?
我想要自杀 I'm gonna kill myself.
哦，放屁，霍华德 Oh, shit, Howard.
我要在直播的时候把我的脑浆轰出来 I'm gonna blow my brains out right on the air.
就在7点钟新闻的中间 Right in the middle of the 7:00 news.
那你的收视率要上天，我向你保证 Well, you'll get a hell of a rating, I'll guarantee you that.
50%是小意思 50 share easy.
-你当真？ -那当然 -You think so? -Well, sure.
我们可以把它做成一个系列节目 就叫《本周自杀要闻》 We could make a series out of it. Suicide of the Week.
害，这么保守干嘛？ 应该叫《本周处决要闻》 Hell. Why limit ourselves? Execution of the Week.

那在第一部分，我要把莎拉·简·摩尔和梅贝瑞在旧金山的报导当头条 In one then, I'll do a lead on Sara Jane Moore to Mayberry in San Francisco.
我看的那部电影，名字叫《探长》 In the film I saw, it was the chief of detectives.

说旧金山时你用了张地图？ Now, you using a map going into San Francisco?

乍得的游击队，维也纳的欧佩克 Guerrillas in Chad, OPEC in Vienna.
你好，霍华德，过得怎么样？ -还好 -Hello, Howard, how are you? -Hi. Okay.
别忘了，霍华德，罗恩·内森现在是第16条了 Don't forget, Howard, Ron Nessen is now 16, okay?
本台词在简中/繁中/西班牙语字幕中均译为“我们不说第16条了” 但译者并未检索到Ron Nessen可作为俚语/行话使用 此人是著名的新闻从业人物，本片1976年上映时他正主持《周六夜现场》
对福特总统的第一次袭击发生在18天前 The first attempt on President Ford's life was 18 days ago
昨天在旧金山，又发生了第二次袭击 and again yesterday in San Francisco.
尽管遭遇了两次暗杀， In spite of the two attempts
福特总统依然表示，他既不会成为总统办公室里的囚徒， Mr. Ford says he will not become a prisoner of the Oval Office,
也不会成为未来的暗杀者的人质 a hostage of would-be assassins.
美国人民是善良的： The American people are good people:
无论民主党，无党派，共和党还是其他人士 Democrats, Independents, Republicans and others.
-你干嘛跟那种人搞到一起？ -我不知道 How the hell you always get mixed up? -Under no circumstances will I.
我希望没有人，会向那些试图破坏美国一切美好事物的人屈服 and I hope no others, capitulate to those that want to undercut what's all good in America.
2号机就位，提示霍华德 Two, cue Howard.
女士们，先生们，我想在此宣布， Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce
我将在两周后退出这个节目 that I will be retiring from this program in two weeks' time
原因是收视率不佳 because of poor ratings.
这个节目是我人生唯一的寄托 Since this show was the only thing I had going for me in my life
-所以我决定自杀 -所以, 她怎么说？ -I have decided to kill myself. -So, what did she say?
我要在本节目播出时让我的脑袋开花，就在一周后的今天 I'm gonna blow my brains out right on this program, a week from today.
10秒后进广告 Ten seconds to commercial.
所以下周二敬请收看 So tune in next Tuesday.
这样好给公关人员一周的时间为节目做宣传 That should give the public-relations people a week to promote the show.
这样一来收视率应该会大幅窜升 We ought to get a hell of a rating out of that.
50%是轻而易举 A 50 share, easy.
-嘿，你们听到那个了吗？ -怎么了？ -Uh, did you hear that? -What was that about?
霍华德刚才说下周二他要让自己的脑袋开花 Howard just said he was going to blow his brains out next Tuesday.
-你在说什么？ -你没听见他刚才说吗？ -What are you talking about? -Didn't you hear him? He just said
霍华德刚才说下周二他让把自己的脑袋开花 Howard just said he was going to kill himself next Tuesday.
你啥意思，“霍华德刚才说下周二他要让自己的脑袋开花”？ What do you mean, "Howard just said he was going to kill himself next Tuesday"?
他本该报导罗恩·内森 He was supposed to do a tag on Ron Nessen--
他说，“下周二敬请收看，我要自杀” He said, "Tune in next Tuesday. I'm gonna shoot myself."
到底是怎么回事？ What the hell's going on?
我不知道 他刚才说他要一枪打爆自己的头 I don't know. He just said he was going to blow his brains out.
霍华德，你他妈是怎么回事儿？ What the fuck's going on, Howard?
他们想知道你他妈是怎么回事，霍华德 They wanna know what the fuck's going on Howard.
我听不见你说什么 I can't hear you.
-把演播室的麦克风打开 -我们在11秒后重新开始 -Turn the studio mike on. -We're back on in 11 seconds.
-十秒 -霍华德，你想干什么？ 你疯了吗？ -Ten seconds. -Howard, what are you doing? Have you flipped?
-我们最好把他弄下来 -拉他下来 -I think we better get him off. -Get him off.
-你们这帮人干什么呢？ 把你们的脏手拿开 -What's the matter with you fellows? Get your fucking hands off.
把声音切掉 他还在直播呢！ Turn the fucking sound off. He's going out live!
-切到2号画面 -我们这儿出了点问题 -Take two. -We're in a lot of fucking trouble down here.
-这是我见过的最蠢的事儿了 -别碰我的头 -This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. -That's my fucking head.
-转到待机画面 -你个猪头！ -Go to standby. -You dumb schmuck!
卢，我们不能把大厅的人赶走吗？ Lou, can't we clear out that downstairs lobby?
那里至少有上百人 There must be a hundred people.
-你叫我怎么赶？ -全市所有的电视台和通讯社都来了 -How am I gonna to get them out there? -Every TV station and wire service in the city.
我差点都挤不进来了 I could barely get in.
-亚瑟，有什么可以诉讼的吗？ -目前还没有 -Arthur, anything litigable? -Not so far.
弗兰克·哈克特刚刚进来了 我们得中止节目 我们能做点什么？ Frank Hackett just walked in. We had to abort. Anything else could we do?
他在和惠勒说话 目前为止已经有超过900个电话， He's talking to Wheeler. So far over 900 phone calls
-投诉主持人用语不文明 -该死 -complaining about foul language. -Shit.
-来啊，米奇，你把它放在哪一版了？ -哈克特进来了 -Come on, Mickey, what page are you putting it on? -Hackett just walked in.
又是ABC（美国广播公司），他们要录像带 ABC again, they want the tape.
让他们去死吧 你也是，马蒂 Tell him to go fuck himself. That goes for you too, Marty.
从现在起你不用上节目了 You're off the air as of now.
-他想和你谈谈 -明天谁来接替比厄？ -He wants to talk to you. -Who's replacing Beale tomorrow?
-我们叫斯诺登从华盛顿飞过来接替 -各位，请稍等 -We're flying Snowden up from Washington. -Everybody, hold it.
我们看其他的电视网怎么报导这个 Let's see how the other networks handle this.
十点新闻一开场就是这事儿 Ten o'clock news opened with it.
晚上好 霍华德·比厄，电视界的一位…… Good evening. Howard Beale, one of television's.
他们都会把这个当作头条新闻 They're all gonna make it their lead story.
霍华德·比厄在今晚的《台网新闻》节目播出时 Howard Beale interrupted his Network News program tonight
宣称他要自杀 to announce that he was gonna kill himself.
我们的兄弟台UBS，今晚出了件大事 An unusual thing happened at one of our sister networks, UBS, this evening.
我们该怎么办？ How are we handling it?
哈洛威会在节目结束时做一个简短的声明， Halloway's going to make a brief statement at the end of the show
称霍华德是由于个人压力过大之类的 that Howard's been under great personal stress, et cetera.
我再打给你，约翰 好了 我们明天有一个股东大会， I'll call you back, John. All right. We've got a stockholders' meeting tomorrow
我们将在会上宣布管理层重组计划 at which we're gonna announce the restructuring-of-management plan.
我不希望这件鸟事儿影响到明天的会议 I don't want this grotesque incident to interfere with that.
我建议卢迪先生就以简要声明作为开场白，把整件事洗脱干净 I'll suggest Mr. Ruddy open with a short statement, washing this whole thing off.
而你，麦克斯，最好给那些 And you, Max, you better have some answers for those nuts
从不缺席股东大会的蠢货准备一些交代 that always come to stockholders' meetings.
比厄先生一直处于职业和个人生活的双重压力之下 Mr. Beale has been under professional and personal strain.
我他妈也给你准备了一份"惊喜"，舒马赫 I've got some goddamned surprises for you too, Schumacher.
我已经受够了 I've had it up to here
你那个破部门和它每年3300万美元的亏损！ with your cruddy division and its annual $33 million deficit!
我的新闻部用不着你管，弗兰克 Keep your hands off my news division, Frank.
我们是对公司层负责，不是对你 We're responsible to corporate level, not you.
好啊，混蛋，那我们走着瞧 Well, goddamn, we'll see about that.
好了，别吵了 现在，我们怎么才能把比厄弄出去？ All right, take it easy. Right now, how do we get Beale out of here?
我知道大厅里有上百名记者和摄影师 I understand there's at least a hundred reporters and camera crews in the lobby.
我们在货运出口给你准备了辆豪车 We got a limo at the freight exit.
霍华德，你就去我家过夜吧 Howard, you're gonna spend the night at my place.
你家肯定都被媒体包围了 There's bound to be press around yours.
我要斯诺登中午之前赶来 I want Snowden here by noon.
让莱斯特报导CIA（中情局）的听证会 Have Lester cover the CIA hearings
白宫那块儿交给多丽丝负责 and give the White House to Doris.
你的放映会要迟到了，麦克斯 You're late for your screening, Max.
好的 来了 Right. Okay.
要是约翰·惠勒打电话来，把电话转到7号放映室来 If John Wheeler calls, switch him to Projection Room 7.
玛格特，进来一下 Margot, come in here a minute.
-比厄这事真对不住 -没事儿的 坐吧 -I'm sorry. This Beale business. -It's all right. Sit down.
戴安娜问她能不能在这儿听我们说 Diana asked if she could sit in on this.
没问题 怎么样了？ Fine. How's it going?
你肯定会比上次我给你看时更喜欢这段镜头的 I think you'll like this footage better than the stuff I showed you last time, Max.
麦克斯·舒马赫 Max Schumacher.
真该死 什么时候，路易斯？ God damn it. When, Louise?
劳伦？ Laureen?
他还说什么了？ Well, did he say anything?
好吧，谢谢你 All right, thank you.
共产党相信， The Communist Party believes
当今最紧迫的政治需要， that the most pressing political necessity today
是把革命的、激进的和民主的运动整合成一个统一战线 is the consolidation of the revolutionary, radical and democratic movements into a united front.
哈利，霍华德·比厄大概20分钟前离开我家 Harry, Howard Beale left my house about 20 minutes ago.
他到了吗？ Has he come in yet?
好的，等他到了告诉我一声 Well, let me know when he arrives, huh?
-那是劳伦·霍布斯，对吗？ -对 -That's Laureen Hobbs, isn't it? -Yeah.
这是不久前从大卫·萨斯金德那儿截出来的 Yeah. This is from a David Susskind thing a while back.
我想有一些我们可以用 I think we can use some of this stuff.
下面要看的会是非常激动人心的东西 What we're going to see now is something really sensational.
亚利桑那州的弗拉格斯塔夫独立银行，上周 The Flagstaff Independent Bank of Arizona was ripped off last week
被一个叫做“普世解放军”的恐怖组织抢劫了 by a terrorist group called the Ecumenical Liberation Army.
他们自己还在将它洗劫一空的时候录了相 And they themselves actually took movies of the rip-off while they were ripping it off.
“普世解放军” 不是绑架帕蒂·赫斯特的那个吗？ The Ecumenical Liberation Army. That's not the one that kidnapped Patty Hearst?
不是 那个是"共生解放军" No, no. That's the Symbionese Liberation Army.
这个是“普世解放军” This is the Ecumenical Liberation Army.
他们是三周前绑架玛丽·安·吉福德的那帮人 They're the ones who kidnapped Mary Ann Gifford three weeks ago.
现在有很多地下革命组织"解放军" There's a heal lot of liberation armies in the revolutionary underground
还有很多被绑架的女继承人 and a lot of kidnapped heiresses.
这就是玛丽·安·吉福德 This is Mary Ann Gifford.
那是“伟大的艾哈迈德可汗”，他们的领袖 That's the Great Ahmed Kahn, he's their leader.
你是说，他们真的是在抢劫时拍的这个吗？ You mean, they actually shot this film while they were ripping off the bank?
等会儿你就能看到了 Wait till you see it.
我不知道是该剪辑一下，还是就像这样保留原样 I don't know whether to edit or leave it raw like this.
这东西太棒了 从哪儿弄来的？ This is total terrific stuff. Where did you get it?
我这些东西都是从劳伦·霍布斯那儿弄的 I got everything through Laureen Hobbs.
她是让我搞到这些东西的联络人 She's my contact for all this stuff.
麦克斯，霍华德从另一条线上打来 Max, I've got Howard on the other line.
好了，接通他 All right, put him on.
霍华德，麦克斯在四号线 接电话 Howard, I've got Max on 4. Would you pick up?
听着，麦克斯，我想再录一次节目 Listen, Max, I'd like another shot.
-哦，算了吧，霍华德 -我不是说整个一期节目 -Oh, come on, Howard. -I don't mean the whole show.
我只是想上台，做一个简短的告别， I'd just like to come on, make some brief farewell statement
然后把节目交给杰克·斯诺登 and then turn the show over to Jack Snowden.
我在这个电视网干了11年，麦克斯 I have 11 years at this network, Max.
在这一行我还有点地位 I have some standing in the industry.
我只是不想像个小丑一样，就这么下台 I just don't wanna go out like a clown.
这会是个简短、严肃的告别 It'll be simple, dignified.
你和哈利可以检查拷贝 You and Harry can check the copy.
我想这样能平息节目的风波，麦克斯 I think it'll take the strain off the show, Max.
-那你是怎么想的？ -嗯，好吧 -Well, what do you think? -Well, okay.
今天不要再喝酒了，霍华德 And no booze today, Howard.
不会喝的 No booze.
-乔治，你能到我办公室来一趟吗？ -好的 -George, can, uh, you come into my office for a minute? -Right.
-芭芭拉，汤米在吗？ -应该在 -Barbara, is Tommy around anywhere? -I think so.
你们俩过来一下 I'd like to see the two of you for a moment.
这是我们西海岸特别项目部的比尔·赫伦 Uh, this is Bill Herron from our West Coast Special Programs Department.
乔治·博世 芭芭拉·施莱辛格 汤米·佩莱格里诺 George Bosch, Barbara Schlesinger, Tommy Pellegrino.
我刚才看了比尔正在做的一个关于地下革命的一些样片 Look, I just saw some rough footage of a special Bill's doing on the revolutionary underground.
大部分是有关劳伦·霍布斯和两个跟班 Most is tedious stuff of Laureen Hobbs and two fatigue jackets
嘀咕着残缺的马克思主义什么的无聊的东西 muttering mutilated Marxism.
但是，里面有8分钟的抢银行的镜头 But, he's got about eight minutes of a bank robbery
绝对是轰动性的 that is absolutely sensational.
是真实画面 事实上，就是在抢劫过程中拍摄的 Authentic stuff. Actually shot while the robbery was going on.
记得玛丽·安·吉福德的绑架案吗？ You remember the Mary Ann Gifford kidnapping?
就是那帮疯子 It's that bunch of nuts.
她在那片子里拿着机关枪扫射 She's in the movie shooting off machine guns.
真是超赞的片子 That's really terrific footage.
我们可以拿它做本周精选影片，甚至可以做成一个系列 I think we can get a hell of a Movie of the Week out of it maybe even a series.
关于什么的系列？ 我们在说啥呢？ A series out of what? What are we talking about?
听着，我们有一帮古里古怪的激进分子， Look, we've got a bunch of hobgoblin radicals
叫做“普世解放军” called the Ecumenical Liberation Army
这些人到处拍摄自己抢银行的家庭自制影片 who go around taking home movies of themselves robbing banks.
也许以后他们还会拍下自己绑架女继承人， And maybe they'll take movies of themselves kidnapping heiresses,
劫持波音747，炸大桥，杀大使的片子 um, hijacking 747s, bombing bridges, assassinating ambassadors.
我们每周的节目都可以用他们的真实镜头作开场 We'd open each week's segment with that authentic footage
请些编剧写写镜头背后的故事 hire writers to write some story behind that footage
这样我们就做成系列片了 and we've got ourselves a series.
一个关于一帮抢银行的游击队的系列节目？ A series about a bunch of, uh, bank-robbing guerillas?
我们管它叫什么呢，《毛泽东时间》？ What are we gonna call it, The Mao Tse-Tung Hour?
为什么不呢？ Why not?
他们已经有了打击部队，特遣部队，特种武器和战术部队 They've got Strike Force, Task Force, SWAT,
要不就叫“切格瓦拉和他的劫掠小队”？ why not Che Guevara and his own little mod squad?
我昨天给你们每个人都发了一份概念分析报告 Look, I sent you all a concept-analysis report yesterday.
你们有谁读了？ Did any of you read it?
一句话概括，里面说的是美国人正在变得死气沉沉 Well, in a nutshell, it said the American people are turning sullen.
他们被越南战争，水门事件， They've been clobbered on all sides by Vietnam, Watergate,
通货膨胀和大萧条彻底打垮 inflation, the Depression.
他们拒绝面对，开枪自杀，纵欲无度 They've turned off, shot up and fucked themselves limp.
却都无济于事 And nothing helps.
所以这个概念分析报告总结说， So this concept-analysis report concludes
美国人希望能有人替他们宣泄心中的愤怒 the American people want somebody to articulate their rage for them.
自从我六个月前接手这份工作以来，就一直在跟你们说 I've been telling you people since I took this job six months ago
我要的是愤怒的节目 that I want angry shows.
这个电视台不需要老掉牙的节目 I don't want conventional programming on this network,
我要的是反主流文化、反传统建制 I want counterculture. I want antiestablishment.
我并不想对你们这些人下狠手 I don't wanna play butch boss with you people.
可当我接手这个部门时， But when I took over this department
它创下了电视史上最差的节目记录 it had the worst programming record in television history.
整个电视网没一个节目能排进前20 This network hasn't one show in the top 20.
它简直就是个业界笑柄 This network is an industry joke.
我们最好能为明年九月的评选，攒出一个好节目 And we better start putting together one winner for next September.
我希望以这群恐怖分子的 I want a show developed based on
活动为基础开发一档节目 the activities of a terrorist group.
"约瑟夫·斯大林和他的搞笑布尔什维克党人" Joseph Stalin and his merry band of Bolsheviks.
我想听听你们的意见 你们就是拿钱干这个的 I want ideas from you people. That is what you're paid for.
而且，顺便说一句，下次我再把收视研究报告发给你们， And, by the way, the next time I send an audience research report around
你们最好都抓紧时间看，否则我就把你们全炒了 you'd all better read it, or I'll sack the fucking lot of you,
都听明白了吗？ is that clear?
四个星期之内我要去西海岸 I'll be out on the coast in, uh, four weeks.
-你能安排我跟劳伦·霍布斯见一次面吗？ -好的 -Will you set up a meeting with Laureen Hobbs? -Sure.
但是管理层的职责就在于管理 But the business of management is management.
在CCA（美国通讯公司）掌管UBS的电视网之时 And at the time CCA took control of the UBS TV Network
它正摇摇欲坠，只占全国电视总营收的不到7% it was foundering with less than 7 percent of national television revenues
大部分的全国联播节目却被以电视台制作的价钱售出 most network programs being sold at station rates.
我很高兴地宣布 I am pleased to announce
我将向董事会提交一份计划书 I am submitting to the board of directors a plan
关于协调主要利润中心 for the coordination of the main profit centers.
意在强调各部门应该对管理层 And with the specific intention of making each division
更加负责 more responsive to management.
第一点 Point one.
一直以来收益率最低的部门是新闻部 The division producing the lowest rate of return has been the news division
其预算为9800万美元，年平均赤字为3200万美元 with its $98 million budget and its average annual deficit of 32 million.
我知道，跟据以往的经验，新闻部向来都是亏损的 I know that, historically, news divisions are expected to lose money.
但在我们看来，此种观念是对财务的肆意侮辱 But to our minds, this philosophy is a wanton fiscal affront
应予以坚决抵制 to be resolutely resisted.
新计划要求把本地新闻移交给自有电台的部门 The new plan calls for local news to be transferred to owned stations' divisions.
把新闻广播移交给UBS的广播部 News radio would be transferred to the UBS Radio Division and in effect
新闻部将从独立部门降级为 the news division would be reduced from an independent division
电视网的下属部门 to a department accountable to network.
这到底是怎么回事，埃德？ What was that all about, Ed?
现在不是说这个的时候，麦克斯 This is not the time, Max.
为什么没有人事先告知我？ Why wasn't I told about this?
为什么让我坐在台上 Why was I led up onto that podium
被当着股东的面羞辱？ and publicly humiliated in front of the stockholders?
妈的，我今天早上刚跟约翰·惠勒谈过 Goddamn it, I spoke to John Wheeler this morning
他向我保证新闻部不会有事 and he assured me the news division was safe.
你想让我辞职的话，使这招也未免太卑劣了 I'm here trying to get me a way to resign, that's one hell of a way to it.
我们明天早上的例会上再讨论这个 We'll talk about this tomorrow at our regular morning meeting.

晚上好，今天是9月24日，星期三 Good evening. Today is Wednesday, September the 24th
也是我最后一次播音 and this is my last broadcast.
昨天我在这个节目中宣称 Yesterday I announced on this program
我将会在公众面前自杀，毫无疑问，这是一个疯狂的举动 that I was going to commit public suicide. Admittedly an act of madness.
现在，我要告诉大家原因何在 Well, I'll tell you what happened.
因为我的屁话都说尽了 I just ran out of bullshit.
-好了，切断直播 -让他继续说 -All right, cut him off. -Leave him on.
我还在直播吗？ Am I still on the air?
如果他想这样告别，那就让他告别吧 If this is how he wants to go out, this is how he goes out.
我想不到其他的描述方式了，除了“我的屁话都说尽了” I don't know any way to say it, except I just ran out of bullshit.
哦，听着，舒马赫先生就在这里 要不要和他说两句？ Oh, look, Mr. Schumacher's right here. Wanna talk to him?
我们活着的全部原因就是这些屁话 Bullshit is all the reasons we give for living.
如果我们自己想不出原因， If we can't think up any reasons of our own,
我们就有了上帝的屁话 we have the God bullshit.
圣母玛丽亚啊 Holy Mary, Mother of Christ.
-我们不知道 -汤姆，这是什么鬼？ -We don't know why we are going -Tom, what is it?
自己为何要遭受这些毫无意义的痛苦、屈辱和衰落 through all this pointless pain, humiliation and decay
所以，我们希望能有某个人做出解答 so there better be someone who does know.
于是就有了上帝的屁话 That's the God bullshit.
他说活着就是放屁，的确如此啊 He's saying that life is bullshit and it is.
那你有什么可大呼小叫的？ So what are you screaming about?
人是一种可以创造自己的世界的高等生物 Man is a noble creature that can order his own world.
谁还需要上帝？ Who needs God?
如果有谁能在环顾了 If there's anybody out there that can look around
我们生活的这个屠宰场之后， this slaughterhouse of a world we live in
对我说出“人是高等生物” and tell me that man is a noble creature
相信我，那个人绝对是满口屁话 believe me, that man is full of bullshit.
这他妈有什么好笑的？ What's so goddamn funny?
我只是忍不住了，哈利 真的很好笑 I can't help it, Harry. It's funny.
我没什么可说的…… I don't have any thing to say.
-麦克斯，这个是在对67个子公司直播的 -我没有孩子 -Max, this is going out live to 67 affiliates. -I don't have any kids.
让他说下去 Leave him on.
我33年的婚姻生活不过是场刺耳的骗局 And I was married for 33 years of shrill, shrieking fraud.
-哈克特先生找您通话 -告诉他，让他去死吧 -Mr. Hackett's trying to get through to you. -Tell Mr. Hackett to go fuck himself.
所以我的屁话都说尽了 So I don't have any bullshit left.
我已经说完了，你看 I just ran out of it, you see.
卢迪先生，我们想请您发表一点声明？ Mr. Ruddy, could we have just one statement from you?
对不起，我还未能完全搞清事态 Sorry, I don't have all the information yet.
我们只是想请您评价一下比厄事件 Could we have just one, one statement about Mr. Beale.
麦克斯？ Max?
结束之后我要见比厄先生 I'll want to see Mr. Beale after this.
据我所知，麦克斯，你要对 The way I hear it, Max, you were primarily responsible
这场愚蠢的大型闹剧负主要责任 for this colossally stupid prank.
-我说的没错吧，麦克斯？ -没错 -Is that the fact, Max? -That's the fact.
真是太过分了 It was unconscionable.
我真不知道还有什么可说的了 There doesn't seem to be anything more to say.
我倒是有话要说，埃德 I have something to say, Ed.
我想知道为什么新闻部被降级的消息 I want to know why that whole debasement of the news division
直到今天下午对股东大会宣布，之前却一直对我保密 announced at the stockholders' meeting this afternoon was kept secret from me.
咱俩共事20年了，埃德 You and I go back 20 years, Ed.
我接下这份工作时，有你向我亲口保证 I took this job with your personal assurance
你会支持我的自主权，反对任何干涉行为 that you'd back my autonomy against any encroachment.
可自从十个月前CCA收购了UBS后， But ever since CCA acquired control of UBS Systems 10 months ago
哈克特就把什么都接管了 Hackett's been taking over everything.
现在到底是谁在掌管这个电视网？ Now who the hell is running this network?
是你还是那个叫CCA的集团？ You or some conglomerate called CCA?
我想说，你才是这个系统的总裁 I mean you're president of the Systems Group
而哈克特不过是CCA手下的一条狗 and Hackett's nothing but a hatchet man for CCA.
尼尔森也在这儿，也是一家电视网的总裁 Nelson here, president of a network
而他现在对任何事情都没有发言权了 and he hasn't a dame thing to say about anything anymore.
我在股东大会的时候就跟你说了，麦克斯 I told you at the stockholders' meeting, Max
这些等我们明天早上开例会的时候再谈 that we would discuss all that at our regular meeting tomorrow morning.
如果你当时有点耐心，我就会解释说 If you had been patient, I would've explained that
我也认为弗兰克·哈克特太草率了， I too thought Frank Hackett precipitate
新闻部的重组， and that the reorganization of the division
在没有征求所有人 特别是你——麦克斯的意见、并取得你们的同意之前， would not be executed until everyone, specifically you, Max
是不应该执行的 then consulted and satisfied.
可是，你那会儿像个小孩一样发脾气，让电视网陷入这样丢人现眼的境地 Instead, you sulked off like a child and engaged this network in a shocking and disgraceful episode.
不管管理层怎么调整，你的位子都保不住了 Your position is no longer tenable, regardless of how management is restructured.
明天早上10点，我等着你的辞职信 I will expect your resignation at 10:00 tomorrow morning
我们会合写一份声明，尽可能减小对每个人的损害 and we will coordinate our statements to the least detriment of everyone.
在我们把一切都解决之前，鲍勃·麦克唐纳会接管新闻部 Bob McDonough will take over the news division until we can sort all this out.
我现在想见一下比厄 I'd like to see Mr. Beale now.
他们也在找，埃德 可是那儿都找不到他 They're looking for him, Ed. They don't know where he is.
15年来，一周五天，我每天 Every day, five days a week for 15 years,
都坐在那张桌子后面 I've been sitting behind that desk.
以一个冷静的权威人士的身份， The dispassionate pundit
用看似的不偏不依的态度报导每天那一大帮子蠢事，那些被称之为新闻的东西 reporting with seemly detachment the daily parade of lunacies that constitute the news.
但这一次，我想说出我的真实感受 And just once I wanted to say what I really felt.
别闹了，亚瑟 Knock it off, Arthur.
毕竟，这是我最后一次了 It was, after all, my last.
-昨晚的收视率出来了吗？ -放你桌上了 -Did the overnight ratings come in yet? -They're on your desk.
前天晚上的还在吗？ Have you still got yesterday's overnights?

《纽约时报》首页也有个两栏的报导 There's also a two-column story on Page 1 of the Times.
海伦，给哈克特先生的办公室打电话 Helen, call Mr. Hackett's office.
看看他今早能不能花几分钟跟我谈谈 See if he can give me a few minutes this morning.
堪萨斯城的KTNS拒绝再转播我们的《台网新闻》节目了 KTNS, Kansas City, refuses to carry our Network News show anymore
除非把比厄撤下来 unless Beale is taken off the air.
你看到昨晚的《台网新闻》的收视率了吗？ Did you see the overnights on the Network News?
纽约的开机率是8%，洛杉矶的是9% It has an eight in New York, a nine in L.A.
两地的观众占有率都是27% and a 27 share in both cities.
昨晚霍华德·比厄在直播中嚷嚷了两分钟的“屁话”， Last night Howard Beale went on the air and yelled "bullshit" for two minutes
我现在就可以告诉你，今晚节目的观众占有率至少30% and I can tell you right now that tonight's show will get a 30 share, at least.
我觉得我们交上好运了 I think we've lucked into something.
哦，看在上帝的份上，戴安娜 Oh! For God's sakes, Diana.
你是在建议我们让那个疯子回到台上并大喊“屁话”吗？ Are you suggesting that we put that lunatic back on the air yelling "bullshit"?
对 我想我们今晚可以让比厄回到直播间， Yes. I think we should put Beale back on the air tonight
让他继续主持 and keep him on.
你看到今早的新闻了吗？ 你看《纽约时报》了吗？ Did you see the news this morning? Did you see the Times?
这些报纸的报导 We've got press on this
是你花一百万也买不来的 you couldn't buy for a million dollars.
弗兰克，这个蠢节目的收视率一晚上跃升了5个百分点 Frank. That dumb show jumped five rating points in one night.
今天晚上至少可以达到15% Tonight's show has gotta be at least 15.
我们昨天一个晚上就增加了两、三千万的观众 We've just increased our audience by 20 or 30 million people in one night.
你这辈子都不可能再碰到这样天上掉馅饼的好事了 You're not gonna get this dumped in your lap for the rest of your days.
别让这次机会溜走 You can't just piss it away.
霍华德·比厄昨晚说出了每个美国人的心声：他受够了所有的屁话 Howard Beale said what every American feels that he's tired of all the bullshit.
他说出了大众的愤怒 He's articulating the popular rage.
我想要这个节目，弗兰克 I want that show, Frank.
我可以把这个节目办成电视上最火的节目 I can turn that show into the biggest smash on television.
你想要这个节目是什么意思？ What do you mean you want that show?
这是个新闻节目 不属于你的部门 It's a news show. It's not your department.
我认为霍华德是一位当代的预言家 I see Howard Beale as a latter-day prophet
一个伟大的救世主式的人物，猛烈地抨击着我们这个时代的虚伪 A magnificent, messianic figure inveighing against the hypocrisies of our times.
一个跳脱衣舞的萨沃纳罗拉，从周一到周五 A strip Savonarola, Monday through Friday
我告诉你，弗兰克，收视率一定会直冲云霄 that I tell you, Frank, could just go through the roof
每千次播放成本仅为6美元 and I'm talking about a $6 cost per thousand show.
每分钟可赚10到13万美元 I'm talking about a hundred, a 130,000-dollar minutes.
你想知道一个每分钟卖10万美元的脱衣舞表演，总收入是多少吗？ Do you wanna figure out the revenues of a strip show that sells for 100,000 bucks a minute?
一个这样的节目就能把整个电视网从悬崖边上拉回来 One show like that could pull this network out of the hole.
弗兰克，鸭子已经到嘴边了，可别让它飞了 Frank, it's being handed to us on a plate. Let's not blow it.
是我 Yes?
告诉他我几分钟后到 Tell him I'll be a few minutes.
-让我考虑一下 -弗兰克，别把这事交给委员会讨论 -Let me think it over. -Frank, let's not go to committee on this.
现在是10点20分 我希望比厄6点半前到直播间 It's 20 after 10. We want Beale in that studio by half past 6.
我们不希望失掉这个势头 We don't wanna lose the momentum.
看在上帝的份上，戴安娜，我们真的要把一个极度不负责任的人推上全国电视吗 For God's sake, Diana, we're talking about putting a manifestly irresponsible man on national television.
我想至少先跟法务部和赫伯·萨克雷谈，当然还有标准和执行部的乔伊·唐纳利 I'd like to talk to Legal Affairs at least and Herb Thackeray and certainly Joe Donnelly in Standards and Practices.
你知道，在这件事上我将要和卢迪先生针锋相对 And you know, I'm going to be eyeball to eyeball with Mr. Ruddy on this.
如果要跟卢迪先生交手， If I'm going to the mat with Ruddy,
我得先弄清楚我的立场 I wanna make sure of some of my ground.
我才是那个要豁出去的人 I'm the one whose ass is going on the line.
我会再联系你的，戴安娜 I'll get back to you, Diana.
我真不敢相信一个全国性电视网的 I don't believe this.
真不敢相信一个全国性电视网的高层领导还能围坐在这儿吃恺撒沙拉 I don't believe the top brass of a national television network are sitting around their salads
这群人的电视网都要破产了 The top brass of a bankrupt national television network
预计亏损将高达1.5个亿 with projected losses of close to $150 million.
我才不管破不破产 I don't care how bankrupt.
你不会当真要提议，我们也不会当真去考虑播出一档色情新闻节目吧 You can't be seriously proposing, and the rest of us seriously considering putting on a pornographic Network News show.
-FCC（联邦通信委员会）会杀了我们的 -坐下，尼尔森 -The FCC'd kill us. -Sit down, Nelson.
FCC除了恐吓我们两句，还能干什么 The FCC can't do anything except rap our knuckles.
我都不敢想象如果吃上官司，弗兰克 I don't even wanna think about the litigious possibilities, Frank.
我们会被告得团团转 Could be up to our ears in lawsuits.
子公司不会同意转播的 The affiliates won't carry it.
只要你能给他们一档热门节目，他们巴结你都来不及 Affiliates will kiss your ass, if you can hand them a hit show.
-但是公众的反应…… -我们还不知道公众会作何反应 -The popular reaction... -We don't know the popular reaction.
-那得靠我们去调查 -可《纽约时报》 -That's what we have to find out. -The New York Times
《纽约时报》又不是我们的广告客户 The New York Times doesn't advertise on our network.
我只知道，这违背了有名望的广播公司的每一条准则 All I know is this violates every canon of respectable broadcasting.
我们的电视网可不是什么名门正派 我们就是个青楼妓院 We're not a respectable network. We're a whorehouse network.
我们必须不折手段 We have to take whatever we can get.
好吧，我可不想掺和这个 Well, I don't want any part of it.
我从没把自己想成妓院的老鸨 I don't fancy myself the president of a whorehouse.
你可真令人佩服啊 尼尔森 坐下 That's very commendable of you, Nelson. Now, sit down.
你的义愤填膺我们全记下了 Your indignation has been duly recorded.
你明天随时都可以辞职了 You can always resign tomorrow.
现在听着，我们的建议实质上是什么？ Now look, what in substance are we proposing?
仅仅是为我们的《台网新闻》节目增加编辑的评论 Merely to add editorial comment to our Network News show.
布林克利，塞瓦里德，里森纳，都有自己的评论 Brinkley, Sevareid, Reasoner, all have their comments.
从现在起，霍华德·比厄也能发表他的 Now Howard Beale will have his.
我想我们应该试一试 I think we ought to give it a shot.
看看今晚效果如何 电话拿过来一下 Let's see what happens tonight. Telephone, please.
我可不想做传话给麦克斯·舒马赫的那个人 Oh, I don't wanna be the messenger that has to tell Max Schumacher about this.
麦克斯已经不在本台工作了 Max Schumacher doesn't work at this network anymore.
卢迪先生昨晚把他炒了 Mr. Ruddy fired him last night.
鲍勃·麦克唐纳现在负责新闻部 Bob McDonough's running the news division now.
请接新闻部的鲍勃·麦克唐纳 Bob McDonough in News, please.
哦，我不知道 Oh, I don't know.
我可能去教书或是写本书 I may teach or I may write a book
其他人到了中年会去干啥，我就去干啥 whatever the hell one does when one approaches the autumn of one's years.
老天，这是我吗？ My God, is that me?
我也曾这么年轻过吗？ Was I ever that young?
不是 霍华德刚刚拿来一张埃德·默罗 No. Howard just brought in a picture of Ed Murrow
和我们在CBS时的全体同仁照的照片 and the whole CBS gang when we were there.
你不会相信的 You wouldn't believe it.
沃尔特·克朗凯特，哈利·里森纳， Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner,
霍伦贝克，鲍勃·特劳特 Hollenbeck, Bob Trout.
-那是你吗，霍华德？ -嗯，是的 -Is that you, Howard? -Mm-hm. Yeah.
好的，迪克，我们再联系 好的 Okay, Dick, we'll be in touch. Right.
记得这个年轻人吗？ You remember this kid?
我记得有次你让他去采访克利夫兰·艾默里，关于活体解剖 He's the kid I think you once sent out to interview Cleveland Amory on vivisection.
有什么好笑的？ What's so funny?
所以我蹦下床，穿着睡衣，抓上雨衣，冲下楼， So I jump out of bed in my pajamas, I grab my raincoat, I run downstairs.
跑到街上，拦了辆出租 I run out in the street and I hail a cab.
跳进车里，冲着司机喊道： And I jumped in and I yell at the driver:
“带我去乔治·华盛顿桥大桥中央” "Take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge."
司机扭过头说：“别干傻事，老兄 And the driver turns around and he says: "Don't do it, buddy, don't do it.
你还年轻，还有大把的前途在等着你呢” You're young, you got your whole life ahead of you."
等一等！ Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
如果你们觉得这个好笑，听听这个 If you think that's funny, wait till you hear this.
我刚从弗兰克·哈克特的办公室出来 I've just come back from Frank Hackett's office.
他想让霍华德今晚重回直播间 He wants to put Howard on the air tonight.
显然昨晚的收视率涨了5个百分点 Apparently the ratings went up five points last night
他希望霍华德回来，继续扮演他的“愤怒者” and he wants Howard to go back on and do his angry-man thing.
你在说什么？ What are you talking about?
我是说，他们要让霍华德回来，继续嚷嚷他的“屁话” I'm telling you. They want Howard to go back on and yell "bullshit."
他们让霍华德继续随意地发泄他的怒火 They want Howard to go on spontaneously letting out his anger.
一位当代预言家声讨我们这个时代的虚伪 A latter-day prophet denouncing the hypocrisies of our times.
听上去真不错 Hey, that sounds pretty good.
“他们”都有谁？ Who's this "they"?
哈克特 切尼也在 Hackett. Chaney was there.
管法务的那人 还有那个女制片人 The Legal Affairs guy. Oh, and that girl from Programming.
克里斯滕森？ 她和这有什么关系？ Christensen? What's she got to do with this?
-你在说笑吧？ -我没开玩笑 -You're kidding, aren't you? -I'm not kidding.
我告诉他们 我说：“听着，我们这儿是新闻部， I told them. I said:"Look, we're running a news department down here,
不是马戏团” not a circus."
霍华德·比厄也不是什么大胡子女人 And Howard Beale's not a bearded lady.
如果你认为我会容许这种作践， If you think I'm gonna go along with this bastardizations
我现在就可以和麦克斯·舒马赫一起辞职 you can have my resignation along with Max Schumacher's right now.
我觉得我是在帮霍华德、还有在座的每一个人说话的…… And I think I'm speaking for Howard Beale and everybody else down there...
嘿，不行！ 你要拒掉的是我的工作 Hi, no! That's my job you're turning down.
没有工作我会发疯的 I'd go nuts without some kind of work.
当一个愤怒的预言家，声讨这个时代的虚伪有什么不好？ What's wrong with being an angry prophet denouncing the hypocrisies of our times?
你怎么想的，麦克斯？ What do you think, Max?
你想当一个愤怒的预言家声讨这个时代的虚伪吗？ Do you want to be an angry prophet denouncing the hypocrisies of our times?
是的，我愿意当一个愤怒的预言家声讨这个时代的虚伪 Yeah, I think I'd like to be an angry prophet denouncing the hypocrisies of our times.
那就好好把握吧！ Then grab it. Grab it!
-下午好，卢迪先生 -下午好 -Afternoon, Mr. Ruddy. -Good afternoon.
下午好，卢迪先生 Good afternoon, Mr. Ruddy.
-他在等你，卢迪先生 -谢谢 -He's waiting for you, Mr. Ruddy. -Thank you.
尼尔森·切尼告诉我，比厄今晚可能真的要重回直播间 Nelson Chaney tells me Beale may actually go on the air this evening.
据我所知，霍华德同意这么做 As far as I know, Howard's going to do it.
-你就准备坐视不管了，埃德？ -是的 -You going to sit still for this, Ed? -Yes.
我觉得哈克特有点做过头了 I think Hackett's overstepped himself.
肯定有人在合谋些什么，麦克斯 There's some kind of corporate maneuvering going on, Max.
哈克特显然是在挑事呢 Hackett is clearly forcing a confrontation.
这就可以解释他在股东大会上的举动 That would account for his behavior at the stockholders' meeting.
不过，我认为他在比厄这件事上犯了个大错 However, I think he's making a serious mistake with this Beale business.
我怀疑CCA会为哈克特的狂妄感到头疼 I suspect CCA will be upset at Hackett's presumptuousness.
詹森先生肯定会的 Certainly Mr. Jensen will.
所以我准备让哈克特先得意一阵 So I'm going to let Hackett have his head for a while.
比厄这事儿可能最终会让他输个精光 He just might lose it over this Beale business.
我希望你能重新考虑你的辞职，麦克斯 I'd like you to reconsider your resignation, Max.
我想如果没有CCA董事会的支持，哈克特是不敢这么做的 I have assumed that Hackett wouldn't take such steps without some support on the CCA board.
我得直接面见詹森先生 I'll have to go directly to Mr. Jensen.
到时侯，我会需要每一位朋友的支持 When that happens, I'm going to need every friend I've got.
而且我绝不希望每个部门的职位都被哈克特的人占据 And I certainly don't want Hackett's people in all of the divisional positions.
所以，我希望你能留下，麦克斯 So I'd like you to stay on, Max.
没问题，埃德 Of course, Ed.
谢谢你，麦克斯 Thank you, Max.
这里是UBS《晚间新闻》 This has been the UBS evening news
霍华德·比厄为您主持 with Howard Beale.
最初这个新的《霍华德·比厄秀》并没有取得开门红 The initial response to the new Howard Beale Show was not auspicatory.
媒体们不出所料地表现出敌意，业界的评价也很负面 The press was without exception hostile and the industry reaction negative.
周四和周五节目的收视率都是14% The ratings for the Thursday and Friday shows were both 14.
但是周一降了一个百分点 But Monday's rating dropped a point.
清楚地表明观众的新鲜劲儿在消退 clearly suggesting the novelty was wearing off.
你知道有一群拥有经纪人执照的灵媒在华尔街工作吗？ Did you know there are a number of psychics working as licensed brokers on Wall Street?
他们中有人靠塔罗牌给客户提供咨询 Some of them counsel their clients by use of tarot cards.
他们都很成功，即使在熊市和放空的时候也是如此 They're all pretty successful, even in a bear market and selling short.
上周我就遇到了其中一位 I met one of them last week
我想围绕她做一个节目 and thought of doing a show around her.
华尔街捉摸不定的女巫，诸如此类 The Wayward Witch of Wall Street, something like that.
当然了，要是她的嘴巴管用，市场岂不是任她宰割 Of course, if her tips were any good, she could wreck the market.
所以我今早给她打电话， So I called her this morning
问她是怎么预测未来的 and asked her how she was on predicting the future.
她说她偶尔才能预见一次 She said she was occasionally prescient.
比如，她说：“刚刚我眼前闪过一个影像， For example, she said:"I just had a fleeting vision of you
你和一个面色沧桑的中年男子一起坐在办公室里， sitting in an office with a craggy middle-aged man
你和他将会发生感情上的纠葛” with whom you are, or will be, emotionally involved."
所以我就到这儿来了 And here I am.
她是靠塔罗牌预测这些的吗？ And she does all this with tarot cards?
不 这次是靠超心灵学 No. This one operates on parapsychology.
她进入恍惚状态，在她的能量场里去感受事物 She has trance-like episodes and feels things in her energy field.
-我想这位女士可能会对你大有帮助，麦克斯 -怎么个帮法？ -I think this lady couldbe very useful to you, Max. -In what way?
你可以搞个新闻节目， Well, you put on a news show
而她可以给你预测明天的新闻 and here's somebody who can predict tomorrow's news for you.
她的名字也恰如其分，叫西比尔 Her name, aptly enough, is Sybil.
占卜者西比尔 Sybil the Soothsayer.
Sybil：古希腊时女先知/女祭司的通称
你可以在《霍华德·比厄秀》末尾给她两分钟时间做预言，比如说每周一次，每周五 You could give her two minutes of trance at the end of a Howard Beale Show say, once a week, Friday
这些有暗示性的玄妙预言，将由她来解读 which is suggestively occult, and she could oraculate.
下一周观众会继续收看，看看她预测的有多准 Then next week everyone tunes in to see how good her predictions were.
也许她可以做天气预报 Maybe she could do the weather.
你的《台网新闻》要是想维系下去，就需要帮助，麦克斯 比厄的“愤怒者”演的并都不好 Your Network News is going to need some help, Max, if it's gonna hold. Beale doesn't do the angry-man thing well at all.
他太爱发牢骚 太暴躁 He's too, uh, kvetchy. He's being irascible.
我们要的是预言家，不是个爆脾气的老头 We want a prophet, not a curmudgeon.
他应该多说些末日审判的话 He should do more apocalyptic doom.
我想你需要找几个作家为他写点哀婉的故事 I think you should take on a couple of writers to write some jeremiads for him.
我看你并不喜欢我的建议 I see you don't fancy my suggestions.
见鬼，你不是认真的吧？ Hell, you're not serious, are you?
哦，我是认真的 Oh, I'm serious.
事实上，我可以把你的《比厄秀》 The fact is I could make your Beale Show
做成电视上收视率最高的新闻节目 the highest-rated news show in television,
如果你肯让我插手一下的话 if you'd let me have a crack at it.
什么叫“插手一下”？ What do you mean, "have a crack at it"?
我来帮你制片 I'd like to program it for you.
开发它 Develop it.
我不会干涉新闻本身，但电视节目也是演艺事业，麦克斯 I wouldn't interfere with the actual news itself, but TV is showbiz, Max.
即使是新闻也要有点表演的成分 And even the news has to have a little showmanship.
老天，你是认真的 My God, you are serious.
我看了你今天6点的新闻 纯粹就是小报风格 Oh. I watched your 6:00 news today. It's straight tabloid.
你花了一分半钟讲那个在中央公园全裸骑车的女人 And you had a minute and a half of that lady riding a bike naked in Central Park.
另一方面，你总共只用了一分钟不到报导重要的国内外新闻 And on the other hand, you had less than a minute of hard national and international news at all.
里面全是性爱、丑闻、暴力犯罪和体育运动 It was all sex, scandal, brutal crimes, sports,
身患绝症的小孩和丢失的小狗 children with incurable diseases and lost puppies.
所以我不接受你一面抗议说新闻该保持高水准， I don't think I'll listen to any protestations of high standards of journalism
一面却在像我们其他人一样上街拉客 when you're right down the street, soliciting audiences like the rest of us.
听着 我要说的是，既然你要拉客，至少应该找准诀窍 Look. All I'm saying is, if you're gonna hustle, at least do it right.
我要在明天的会议上提出这个议题 但我不希望给电视台添乱 I'm gonna bring this up at tomorrow's meeting. I don't like network hassles.
所以我希望你我二人能把这个问题解决掉 So I was hoping you and I could work this out between us.
这就是我为什么来这儿 Now that's why I'm here.
我还以为你是想去跟一个面色沧桑的中年男人 And I was hoping that you were looking for an emotional involvement
发生感情纠葛的 with a craggy middle-aged man.
哦，我也不完全排除这个的可能性 Oh, I wouldn't rule that out entirely.
好吧，戴安娜 All right, Diana
明天会上把你所有想法都提出来吧 You bring up all your ideasat the meeting tomorrow
因为就算你不提，我也会提 because if you don't, I will.
我认为霍华德是在自我欺骗， I think Howard's making a goddamn fool of himself
我们在业界认识的每一个人都这么觉得 and so does everybody that Howard and I know in this industry.
那只是个侥幸 它是行不通的 It was a fluke. It didn't work.
所以明天，霍华德会变回老样子 So tomorrow, Howard goes back to the old format
所有这些上不了台面的伎俩也该到此为止了 and all of this gutter depravity comes to an end.
好吧 Okay.
我不明白，戴安娜 I don't get it, Diana.
你一直待到7点半，然后大老远地跑到这儿来， You hung around until 7:30 and then came all the way down here
就为了告诉我几个疯狂的娱乐业的点子 just to pitch a couple of loony showbiz ideas
你清楚地知道我可能会大笑着把你赶出办公室 when you knew goddamn well I'd laugh you right out of the office.
我不明白 I don't get it.
你在耍什么花招？ What's your scam in this?
麦克斯，我今晚来这儿是为了向你的业界地位表示尊重 Max, my little visit here tonight was a gesture made out of your stature in the industry
也因为我自打在密苏里大学主修演讲时就很崇拜你 and because I personally admired you since I was a kid majoring in speech at the University of Missouri.
不过迟早，无论有没有您 But sooner or later, with or without you
我都会接管您的台网新闻节目 I'm going to take over your Network News show
所以我想不妨就从今晚开始吧 and I figured I might as well start tonight.
我记得我曾在密苏里大学 I, uh, think I once gave a lecture
做过一次演讲 at the University of Missouri.
我当时在观众席上 I was in the audience.
我以一种女学生特有的方式，疯狂地迷恋上了您好几个月 I had a terrible schoolgirl crush on you for a couple of months.
如果我们能回到那个吉卜赛人预言 If we could get back for a moment to that gypsy
你会和一个中年男子发生感情纠葛的那个时刻 who predicted all that about, uh, emotional involvements and middle-aged men.
你今晚准备吃什么？ What are you doing for dinner tonight?
我今晚去不了了，亲爱的 明天打给我吧 I can't make it tonight, love. Call me tomorrow.
-你有喜欢的餐厅吗 -我什么都吃 -Do you have a favorite restaurant? -I eat anything.
见鬼，我感觉我中了美人计 Son of a bitch, I get a feeling I'm being made.
你就是 You are.
啊，我得警告你，我第一次约会时什么都不会做 Ah, I've got to warn you, I don't do anything on my first date.
走着瞧吧 We'll see.
笨蛋，你在干嘛？ Schmuck, what are you getting into?
我结过四年婚，假装自己生活幸福 I was married for four years and pretended to be happy
我做过六年精神分析，假装自己神志正常 and had six years of analysis and pretended to be sane.
我丈夫和他的男朋友私奔了 My husband ran off with his boyfriend
我和我的心理分析师发生了关系 when I had an affair with my analyst.
他说我是他碰到过的最差的床伴 He told me I was the worst lay he'd ever had.
我都说不清有多少男人告诉我，我是最差劲的床伴 I can't tell you how many men have told me what a lousy lay I am.
显然我有一种男性化的气质 I apparently have a masculine temperament.
我会很快地产生快感，过早地达到高潮 I arouse quickly, consummate prematurely
然后迫不及待地穿上衣服，离开卧室 and can't wait to get my clothes back on and get out of that bedroom.
除了工作我似乎什么事都不擅长 I seem to be inept at everything except my work.
我对工作很在行 I'm good at my work.
所以我就死磕在工作上 So I confine myself to that.
我对生活的全部要求就是30%的观众占有率和20%的开机率 All I want out of life is a 30 share and a 20 rating.
想必你已经结婚了吧？ You're married, surely?
25年了 Twenty-five years.
我在西雅图有一个已婚的女儿 I have a married daughter in Seattle
她现在怀孕六个月了 who's six months pregnant
还有一个小女儿要上西北大学，1月份开学 and a younger girl who's starting at Northwestern in January.
好了，麦克斯，我们到了这儿 Well, Max, here we are.
一个想重申他中年男性魅力的中年男子 Middle-aged man reaffirming his middle-aged manhood
和一个羞怯的有着恋父情结的年轻女子 and a terrified young woman with a father complex.
你觉得我们可以发展出怎样的剧本？ What sort of script do you think we can make out of this?
小道消息说你是弗兰克·哈克特的秘密情人 Corridor gossip, uh, says that you are Frank Hackett's backstage girl.
我不是 Ha, ha. I'm not.
弗兰克是个彻头彻尾的生意人 Frank is a corporation man, body and soul.
他全部的热爱、欲望和忠诚 He has no loves, lusts or allegiances
无一不用于竭力成为CCA董事会成员 that are not consummately directed toward becoming a CCA board member.
所以，他干嘛来找我呢？ 我连股东都不是 So why should he bother with me? I'm not even a stockholder.
那你的爱情，欲望和忠诚呢？ What about your loves, lusts and allegiances?
你妻子在城里吗？ Is your wife in town?
在 Yes.
那么，我们最好到我那儿去 Well, then, we better go to my place.
我听不见你 你得大点声 I can't hear you. You will have to talk a little louder.
是的 我听见了 Yes. I hear you.
好的 Yes.
为什么是我？ Why me?
我说，“为什么是我？” I said, "Why me?"
好吧 Ok.
霍华德在办公室里吗？ Howard in his office?
哦，哈利，我要把《愤怒的预言家》那整一个白痴玩意砍了 Oh, Harry, I'm killing this whole screwball, angry-prophet thing.
今晚我们像以前一样正常播报新闻 Tonight we go back to straight news.
麦克斯，我告诉你，他很好 Max, I'm telling you, he's fine.
他整天都很精神 不停地说笑 He's been sharp all day. He's been funny as hell.
新闻核校会议上的每个人都夸他 Had everybody cracking up at the rundown meeting.
我告诉他了 I told him. I told him.
开机 提示VTA Up. Cue VTA.
二号机准备 Ready, two.
-提示播音员 -UBS《晚间新闻》 -Cue announcer. -The UBS Evening News
霍华德·比厄为您主持 with Howard Beale.
昨晚，凌晨两点多钟， Last night, I was awakened from a fitful sleep
我被从断断续续的睡眠中惊醒， shortly after 2:00 in the morning
那是一个尖锐的嘶嘶声，不见其人只闻其声 by a shrill, sibilant, faceless voice.
起初，在黑暗的卧室里，我听不清那个声响 I couldn't make it out at first in the dark bedroom
于是我说：“对不起，你得大点儿声” and I said, "I'm sorry, you will have to talk a little louder."
-“你想让我做什么？” -“没什么” -What do you want me to do? -Nothing.
那声音对我说，“我想要你告诉人们真理， And the voice said to me, "I want you to tell the people the truth.
这并非易事，因为人们并不想知道真理” Not an easy thing to do because the people don't want to know the truth."
我说，“你在开玩笑吧 And I said, "You're kidding.
我哪知道什么是真理呢？” What the hell should I know about the truth?"
但那个声音对我说，“不必担心真理 But the voice said to me, "Don't worry about the truth.
我自会透过你的嘴传达” I will put the words in your mouth."
我说，“这是在干什么，燃烧的灌木？看在上帝的份上，我可不是摩西” I said, "What's this, the Burning Bush? For God's sake, I'm not Moses."
Burning Bush：出自《圣经·出埃及记》3: 2 耶和华的天使在荆棘里的火焰中向摩西显现
那个声音对我说，“我也不是上帝 那个和我一点关系也没有 Then the voice said to me, "And I'm not God. What has that got to do with it?"
那个声音又说： The voice said to me:
“我们所谈论的不是永恒的、绝对的、终极的真理， "We're not talking about eternal or absolute or ultimate truth.
而是无常的、短暂的、人类的真理 We're talking about impermanent, transient, human truth.
我不指望你们能够拥有真理， I don't expect you people to be capable of truth
但至少你们要能够自我保护吧” but goddame it at least you're capable of self-preservation."
我又问，“为什么是我？” And I said, "Why me?"
那个声音说，“因为你上电视，笨蛋” And the voice said, "Because you're on television, dummy."
漂亮 Beautiful.
“你有4000万美国人在听你讲话 "You have 40 million Americans listening to you.
这次节目播出之后，可能会变成5000万 After this show, you could have 50 million.
我不是要你身披麻布走在大地上，布道传讲哈米吉多顿的末日 For peace sake, I'm not asking you to walk the land in sackcloth, preaching the Armageddon.
sackcloth可能出自《圣经·耶利米书》6: 26 百姓啊，你们要身披麻布，在灰中打滚； 你们要悲伤痛哭，如丧独子， 因为毁灭者将突然临到我们 Armageddon出自《圣经·启示录》16: 16 善恶势力进行最后一战的地方
你上电视啊，伙计” You're on TV, man."
所以我想了一会儿 So I thought about it for a moment
然后我说，“好吧” and then I said, "Okay."
把门关掉，哈利 Close the door, Harry.
霍华德，我要让你停播 Howard, I'm taking you off the air.
我想你已经精神崩溃了 需要治疗 I think you're having a breakdown. Require treatment.
那不是在发神经 This is not a psychotic episode.
那是一个涤荡心灵的时刻 This is a cleansing moment of clarity.
我被附体了，麦克斯 I'm imbued, Max.
我被某种特殊的圣灵附体 I'm imbued with some special spirit.
它根本不是某种宗教情愫 It's not a religious feeling at all.
它是一股巨大电能的震撼迸发 It's a shocking eruption of great electrical energy.
我感到了活力和闪耀， I feel vivid and flashing,
就像突然间我被接入某种巨大的磁场 as if suddenly I'd been plugged into some great electromagnetic field.
我感到了与万物的联系 I feel connected to all living things.
花儿，鸟儿 To flowers, birds,
世上所有的动物 all the animals of the world
甚至还有某种巨大的不可见的生命力 and even to some great unseen living force.
我想，这就是印度人所说的"普拉纳" What I think the Hindus call prana.
prana出自梵语“生命的气息”
那并不是精神崩溃 It is not a breakdown.
我还从未感到自己的生活如此有序 I've never felt more orderly in my life.
它是一种振奋而美好的感受 It is a shattering and beautiful sensation.
它是时空合一的伟大洪流——不，它更是无边无尽的 It is the exalted flow of the space-time continuum save that it is spaceless and timeless and
至高的爱 of such loveliness.
我觉得我正处于某种伟大的终极真理的边缘了 I feel on the verge of some great ultimate truth.
而你不能让我停播，现在不行， And you will not take me off the air for now,
今后永恒的时间里也不行 or for any other spaceless time.
-他还好吗？ -他只是昏过去了 -Is he okay? -He's just fainted.
我今晚最好再把他带回我家一回 I'd better get him back to my house again tonight.
帮我把他扶起来 Help me get him up.
所有人都疯了 Everyone's going crazy.
这儿的所有人都疯了 The whole place has gone crazy.
他们只是呆坐在家里，什么也不做 They just sitting in their house and they don't do anything about it.
醒醒，麦克斯，霍华德已经走了 Wake up, Max, because Howard's gone.
我给你弄点咖啡 I'll make you some coffee.
你不知道他在哪儿？ What do you mean you don't know where he is?
那王八蛋爆火啦， The son of a bitch is a hit,
天杀的！ 2000多通电话！ goddamn it! Over 2000 phone calls.
去收发室看看 截至目前 来了14000多封电报！ Go down to the mail room. As of this minute, over 14,000 telegrams!
反响空前！ 赫伯跟他说说 赫伯的电话就没停过 The response is sensational! Herb tell him. Herb's phone hasn't stopped ringing.
每个该死的子公司，从阿尔伯克基到桑德斯基 Every goddamned affiliate from Albuquerque to Sandusky.
反响是轰动性的！ The response is sensational!
是的 好的 Yes. All right.
给你的，赫伯 回你办公室去 For you, Herb. Get back to your office.
摩尔丹给和乔伊·唐纳利都给我打电话 妈的，我们彻底火了 Moldanian called me. Joe Donnelly called me. We got a goddamn hit, goddamn it.
戴安娜，把《纽约时报》给他看 Diana, show him the Times.
《纽约时报》上有篇专门写我们的社论 We got an editorial in the holy goddamn New York Times.
-“呼唤道德” -我不知道他在哪儿 -"A call to morality." -I don't know where he is.
那个混蛋比厄已经红得发紫了 That son of a bitch Beale has caught on.
别告诉我你不知道他在哪儿 So don't tell me you don't know where he is.
据我所知，他可能正要从楼顶上往下跳呢 He could be jumping off a roof for all I know.
他就是个疯子 他对自己失去了控制 The man is insane. He's not responsible for himself.
他需要照顾和治疗 He needs care and treatment.
可所有你们这些盗墓贼只想到他火了 And all you grave robbers think about is that he's a hit.
你知道吗，麦克斯，他可能并没有疯 You know, Max, it's just possible that he isn't insane.
他实际上真的被某种圣灵附体了 That he is, in fact, imbued with some special spirit.
上帝啊，不是应该我是浪漫主义者，你们是坚定的现实主义者吗？ My God, I'm supposed to be the romantic you're the hard-bitten realist.
好了，霍华德·比厄显然是填补了某种空虚 All right. Howard Beale obviously fills a void.
这儿的观众们需要一个预言家，即使他是假的，或者他和摩西一样疯狂 The audience out there wants a prophet, even a manufactured one, even if he's as mad as Moses.
到了明天，他会获得50%的占有率，甚至60% By tomorrow he'll have a 50 share, maybe even a 60.
霍华德·比厄就是一个被加工出来的、速成的上帝 Howard Beale is processed, instant God.
现在看来，他的风头可能会盖过玛丽·泰勒·摩尔 And right now, it looks like he may just go bigger than Mary Tyler Moore.
我不会让霍华德重回节目的 I am not putting Howard back on the air.
这已经不是你的节目了，麦克斯 是我的 It's not your show anymore, Max, it's mine.
我把节目给了她，舒马赫 I gave her the show, Schumacher.
我现在在着手制作《台网新闻》节目 I'm putting the Network News show under programming.
卢迪先生心脏病轻度发作，现在接不了电话 Mr. Ruddy has had a mild heart attack and is not taking calls.
他病休期间，由我负责整个电视网的决策 In his absence, I'm making all network decisions
其中一项是我一直想做的: including one I've been wanting to make a long time.
你被炒了 我要你中午之前离开这栋大楼 You're fired. I want you out of this building by noon.
要是你赖在这里不走，我就叫保安把你扔出去 I'll call the security guards and have you thrown out, if you're still here.
好吧，我只能说，“去你妈的，哈克特” Well, let's say, "Fuck you, Hackett."
你想让我走，就得把我拖出去，我会又踢又叫， You want me out of here, you're gonna have to drag me out kicking and screaming
而且整个部门的人都会跟着我一起抗议！ and the whole division kicking with me!
你以为他们会为了你辞掉工作？ You think they're gonna quit their jobs for you?
在现在这个萧条期，不可能的，伙计 Not in this recession, buddy.
等卢迪回来，他会找你算账的 When Ruddy gets back he'll have your ass.
我的节目火了，舒马赫，卢迪说话不顶用了 I got a hit, Schumacher, and Ruddy doesn't count anymore.
他希望我在这个比厄秀上栽跟头，可我没有 He was hoping I'd fall on my face with this Beale Show, but I didn't.
它现在大红特红， It's a big, fat, big-titted hit
而我再不用被卢迪牵着鼻子走了 and I don't have to waffle around with Ruddy anymore.
如果他想在CCA董事会上告我的状，随他去好了 If he wants to take me up before the CCA Board, let him.
你以为卢迪会蠢到去和CCA董事会说： You think Ruddy is stupid enough to go to the CCA Board and say:
“我要把我们的热门节目停播”？ "I'm taking our one hit show off the air"?
到了11月14号， And comes November 14,
我将站在CCA管理层的年度评审大会上， I'm going to be standing up there at the annual CCA management meeting.
宣布本电视网的预计盈余 I'm gonna announce projected earnings for this network
五年来的头一次 for the first time in five years.
相信我，詹森先生会坐在他的小椅子上， And believe me, Mr. Jensen's going to be sitting there
摇啊摇， rocking back and forth
然后说： in his little chair and he's going to say:
“干得好，弗兰克，继续保持” "That's very good, Frank, keep it up."
所以不要对今后谁将掌管这个电视网抱有丝毫幻想 So don't have any illusions about who's running this network from now on. You're fired!
我要你中午之前离开你的办公室 I want you out of your office before noon
否则我会把你扔出去 or I'll have you thrown out.
你也跟他是一伙的？ You go along with this?
麦克斯，我告诉过你，我不希望公司在这事上产生矛盾 Max, I told you I didn't want a network hassle on this.
我告诉过你，我更希望在我们二人之间把比厄秀安排妥当 I told you I'd much rather work the Beale Show out just between the two of us.
好吧，我只能说，“也去你妈的，亲爱的” Well, let's just say, "Fuck you too, honey."
即使霍华德·比厄是我最好的朋友 我也不惜对簿公堂 Howard Beale may be my best friend. I'll go to court.
我要在你们把他当作怪胎来展览之前，把他送进医院 I'll put him in a hospital before I'll let you exploit him like a freak.
去找你的心理医生吧，我也去找我的 You get your psychiatrists, I'll get mine.
我要把这件腌臜事公布给全国的每家报纸、 I'm gonna spread this whole reeking business in every newspaper
每家电视网、每个集团和其分支机构 on every network, group and affiliate in this country.
我要把这事儿闹得沸沸扬扬 I'm gonna make a lot of noise about this.
很好 我们正需要尽可能地向媒体炒作 Great. We need all the press we can get.
你跟舒马赫之间是不是发生了什么？ Something going on between you and Schumacher?
再也不会了 Not anymore.
-你还好吗，比厄先生？ -我必须去做见证 -How do you do, Mr. Beale? -I must make my witness.
没问题，比厄先生 Sure thing, Mr. Beale.
欧佩克组织的石油部长们，在维也纳举行的会议上， Oil ministers of the OPEC nations meeting in Vienna
仍未确定油价上调的幅度 still haven't decided how much more to increase the price of oil.
喂 他五分钟前进来了 Ok. He came in the building about five minutes ago.
告诉斯诺登，等霍华德进来后让他继续主持 Tell Snowden when he comes in to let him go on.
你听见了吗，保罗？ Did you get that, Paul?
6 5 4 3 2 1 Six, five, four, three, two, one
这是欧佩克组织自成立以来分歧最大的一次会议 This has been the most divisive meeting the oil states have ever had.
其十三个成员国至今未能决定油价的上涨幅度 沙特阿拉伯…… The 13 nations of OPEC have still not been able to decide by how much to increase the price of oil. Saudi Arabian.
还有多少时间？ How much time we got?
他回到了维也纳 He returned to the Vienna.
二号机准备，提示霍华德 Take two, cue Howard.
我用不着告诉你们形势有多糟 I don't have to tell you things are bad,
因为每个人都知道 everybody knows things are bad.
现在是大萧条 It's a depression.
每个人不是已经失业，就算在害怕失业 Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
一块钱的购买力只相当五分钱 银行一个接一个地破产 The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust.
店家把枪藏在柜台下面 Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
朋克在大街上撒野 Punks are running wild in the streets.
没人知道该怎么办，这态势看不到个头 There's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.
我们知道，这儿的空气不适合呼吸， We know the air is unfit to breathe
我们的食物不适合食用， and our food is unfit to eat.
我们坐在电视机前，听着当地的新闻播报员告诉我们： We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us
今天有15起凶杀案和63起暴力犯罪 that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes
就好像这世界本该如此 as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
我们知道形势很糟糕 不只是“糟糕”，简直是“疯狂” We know things are bad. Worse than bad, they're crazy.
就好像一切的一切都疯了，所以我们哪也不去 It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore.
我们干坐在家里，慢慢地我们生活的世界越来越小 We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
我们只能说，“拜托了， and all we say is, "Please,
至少可以让我们一个人在家呆着吧 at least leave us alone in our living rooms.
让我和我的烤箱、电视还有钢丝辐射轮胎呆在一起， Let me have my toaster and my TV, and my steel-belted radials
我就满足了 让我一个人呆着就好！” and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone!"
但是，我偏不让你自娱自乐 我要让你发疯！ Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad!
我不是让你们去抗议、去暴动 I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot.
我不是让你们给国会议员写信，因为我也不知道让你们写些什么 I don't want you to write to your congressmen, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
我不知道该怎么应对大萧条和俄国佬，以及大街上的犯罪 I don't know what to do about the depression and the Russians, and the crime in the street.
我只知道，首先，你们必须发疯 All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
你们得说，：我是个人，去你的 You've got to say, "I'm a human being, god damn it.
我的生活是有意义的” My life has value."
所以，我要你们现在都站起来 So I want you to get up now.
我要你们所有人都从椅子上站起来 I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
我要你们现在都站起来，走到窗户边上， I want you to get up right now and go to the window
打开它，把头伸出去大喊： open it and stick your head out and yell:
“我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！” "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!"
我要你们现在都站起来，站起来…… I want you to get up right now, get up.
-跟着他 -走到窗户边上， -Stay with him. -go to your windows,
打开它，把头伸出去大喊： open them and stick your head out and yell:
“我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！” "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
事情必须要改变，但首先，你们必须发疯…… Things have got to change, but first, you've got to get mad...
-有多少家电视台正在直播？ -67家 -How many stations does this go to? -Sixty-seven.
你们得大喊，“我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！” You've got to say, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!"
然后我们再去想办法应对萧条、通胀和石油危机 Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis,
但首先，你得从椅子上站起来 but first get up out of your chairs
打开窗户，把头伸出去大喊： open the window, stick your head out and yell and say it!
“我彻底疯啦， "I'm as mad as hell
我再也不要忍受下去了！” and I'm not gonna take this anymore!"
-你在跟谁说话，赫伯？ -亚特兰大的WCGG -Who are you talking to, Herb? -WCGG, Atlanta.
亚特兰大那儿有人在喊吗？ Are they yelling in Atlanta?
但首先你们得发疯 But first you've got to get mad.
你们得说：“我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！” You've gotta say: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
他们在巴吞鲁日大喊 They're yelling in Baton Rouge.
站起来，都从椅子上站起来 Get up, get up out of your chairs.
乖乖，我们挖到宝了！ Son of a bitch, we struck the mother lode!
把头伸出窗户……打开它，把头伸出去大喊： Stick your head out of the window, open it and stick your head out and keep yelling and yell:
“我彻底疯了 "I'm as mad as hell.
我再也不要忍受下去了！” I'm not gonna take this anymore!"
就现在，从椅子上站起来，走到窗户边上…… Just get up from your chairs, right now, go to the window!
-你要去哪儿？ -我想去看看有没有人在喊 -Where you going? -I wanna see if anybody's yelling.
打开它，把头伸出去， Open it, and stick your head out,
不停地喊，就喊：“我…… and yell, and keep yelling:" I'm ...
我彻底疯了 I'm as mad as hell
我再也不要忍受下去了！ and I'm not gonna take it anymore!
我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！ I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！ I'm not gonna take it anymore. I'm mad as hell!
到十月中旬，《霍华德·比厄秀》的观众占有率已经达到了42% By mid-October the Howard Beale Show had settled in on a 42 share
比其他所有电视网的新闻节目的收视率总和还要高 more than equaling all the other network news shows combined.
据尼尔森收视率调查显示，《霍华德·比厄秀》已成为本月收视率第四高的节目， In the Nielsen ratings, the Howard Beale Show was listed as the fourth highest rated show of the month
仅次于《无敌金刚》《全家福》和《菲利斯》 surpassed only by The Six Million Dollar Man, All in the Family and Phyllis.
对一个新闻节目来说，这是前所未有的盛况 A phenomenal state of affairs for a news show.
10月15日，戴安娜·克里斯滕森飞往洛杉矶， And on October 15, Diana Christensen flew to Los Angeles
与我们西海岸的节目主管们进行业界所谓的印地安帕瓦聚会 for what the trade calls pow-wows and confabs with our West Coast programming execs
pow-wow：北美原住民的神圣社交聚会
同时为下一季的节目制作作准备 and to get production rolling on the shows for the coming season.
上帝啊！ 你把半个威廉·莫里斯西海岸办公室的人都带来了吧 Christ. Christ! You brought half the William Morris West Coast office along with you.
嗨，我是戴安娜·克里斯滕森 Hi, I'm Diana Christensen,
帝国主义统治集团的种族主义走狗 a racist lackey of the imperialist ruling circles.
我是劳伦·霍布斯，无法无天的共产主义黑鬼 I'm Laureen Hobbs, a bad-ass commie nigger.
听上去有着坚实的友谊基础了 Sounds like the basis of a firm friendship.
-我们需要再多几把椅子 -有人要咖啡吗？ -We're gonna need more chairs. -Anybody want coffee?
我要来点 I'd love some.
这是我的律师山姆·海伍德，和他的助手梅里尔·格兰特 This is my lawyer, Sam Haywood, and his associate, Merrill Grant.
好了，克里斯滕森小姐，这到底是怎么回事？ Well... Ms. Christensen, just what the hell's this all about?
因为，有家全国性的电视网的蠢材代表 Because when a national television network
过来找我， in the person of booby here, comes to me
说，他们想把被压迫的群众正在进行的斗争，放到黄金时段播出 and says they want to put the on-going struggle of the oppressed masses on prime-time television,
我不得不对此表示怀疑 I have to regard this askance.
海伍德先生想表达的是，克里斯滕森女士，我们的客户霍布斯女士希望 What Mr. Haywood was saying, Ms. Christensen, was that our client Ms. Hobbs,
节目中的政治方面的内容， wants it up-front that the political content of the show
必须完全由她做主 has to be entirely in her control.
没问题 我毫不关心政治议题 She can have it. I don't give a damn about the political content.
你想做个什么样的节目？ What kind of show did you have in mind?
我有兴趣做一个每周播出的系列剧情片， I'm interested in a weekly dramatic series
取材于“普世解放军” based on the Ecumenical Liberation Army.
我现在就告诉你第一集是什么：两小时的专题节目，聚焦于玛丽·安·吉福德 And I'll tell you right now what the first show has to be: a two-hour special on Mary Ann Gifford.
而我需要的是更多的录像带，就像上次抢银行的“普世解放军”提供的那样 Let me tell you what I want: I want a lot more film like the bank rip-off the Ecumenical sent in.
我对这个系列的想法是， The way I see the series is
我们每周以一个真实的政治恐怖主义行动作开场， each week we open with an authentic act of political terrorism
用现场的实况录像 taken on the spot, in the actual moment.
然后我们转而挖掘这段录像背后的戏剧性故事 Then we go to the drama behind the opening film footage.
那就是你要做的，霍布斯女士 That's your job, Ms. Hobbs.
你得让“普世解放军”给我们提供录像带 You gotta get the Ecumenicals to bring in that film footage for us.
电视网不能直接跟他们打交道 The network can't deal with them directly.
毕竟，他们是被通缉的罪犯 They are, after all, wanted criminals.
“普世解放军”是一个极左派别 The Ecumenical Liberation Army is an ultra-left sect
用野蛮的暴力和伪造的叛乱 creating political confusion
制造政治纷争 with wildcat violence and pseudo-insurrectionary acts
这些行为是共产党不会认可的 which the Communist Party does not endorse.
美国民众还没有准备好公开造反 The American masses are not yet ready for open revolt.
我们并不想做这样的电视节目 We would not want to produce a television show
来为背离历史正轨的恐怖主义庆功 celebrating historically deviational terrorism.
我每周为你提供一小时的黄金时段， Ms. Hobbs, I'm offering an hour of prime-time television every week
在里面你想做什么政治宣传都可以 into which you can stick whatever propaganda you want.
“普世解放军”是一个毫无纪律可言的极左帮派 The Ecumenicals are an undisciplined ultra-left gang
他们的领导是一个怪人，这还是最温和的形容了 whose leader is an eccentric, to say the least.
他自称是“伟大的艾哈迈德可汗” He calls himself the Great Ahmed Kahn
头上还戴个轻骑兵的帽子 and wears a hussar's shako.
霍布斯女士，我们谈论的是一集就有3000到5000万观众收看的节目 Ms. Hobbs, we're talking about 30 to 50 million people a shot.
这可比在贫民区的街角发放油印的小册子要好多了 It's a lot better than handing out mimeographed pamphlets on ghetto street corners.
这事儿我得去跟中央委员会商量一下， I'll have to take this matter to the central Committee
而且我还得和“伟大的艾哈迈德可汗”确认一下 and I'd better check it out with the Great Ahmed Kahn.
我会在洛杉矶一直呆到周六， I'll be in L.A. until Saturday,
我希望看到一切顺利 and I'd like to get it rolling.
艾哈迈德，你不会相信这个的： Well, Ahmed, you ain't gonna believe this.
我要让你成为一个电视明星啦 But I'm gonna make a TV star out of you.
就像阿契·邦克一样 Just like Archie Bunker.
你会成为一个家喻户晓的人物 You gonna be a household word.
你他妈在说些什么？ What the fuck are you talking about?

我们彻底疯啦，再也不要忍受下去了！ We're mad as hell and we're not going to take this anymore!
女士们先生们，这里是《台网新闻时间》 Ladies and gentlemen, the Network News Hour
有请“占卜师”西比尔！ with Sybil the Soothsayer!
吉姆·韦宾和他的“这就是真相”真理部 Jim Webbing and his It's-the-Emes Truth Department.
Der Emes，希伯来语，即"The Truth" 曾是苏共的反对反犹主义的报纸
马塔·哈里女士和她的“衣橱里的骷髅” Ms. Mata Hari and her Skeletons in the Closet.
Skeletons in the Closet，谚语，“未公开的丑闻”
今晚，又一个环节的“人民之声” And tonight, another segment of Vox Populi.
有请主持人，“直播间里的疯狂预言家”，霍华德·比厄！ And starring the Mad Prophet of the Airways, Howard Beale!
埃德·乔治·卢迪死于今日！ Edward George Ruddy died today.
埃德·乔治·卢迪是 Edward George Ruddy was the chairman of the board
联合广播公司的董事会主席 of the Union Broadcasting Systems
他于今天上午11点死于心脏病发作 and he died at 11:00 this morning of a heart condition,
现在我们有祸了，我们麻烦大了 and woe is us, we're in a lot of trouble.
woe is us直译为“这是我们的不幸” 但此处参考了《圣经·耶利米书》15: 10的和合本译法
所以，一个有钱的白发小老头死了， So a rich little man with white hair died.
这又跟米价有什么关系，对吧？ What has that got to do with the price of rice, right?
这又为何是我们的祸事呢？ And why is that woe to us?
因为你们， Because you people
还有其他正在观看我的节目的6200万美国人 and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now.
因为你们当中，看书的人不到3% Because less than 3 percent of you people read books.
看报纸的不到15% Because less than 15 percent of you read newspapers.
因为你们所知的唯一真理，就是从电视上获得的东西 Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube.
现在，有那么整整一代人 Right now, there is a whole and entire generation
除了电视上讲的，以外的东西一概不知 that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube.
电视即是福音书，即是终极的启示 This tube is the Gospel. The ultimate revelation.
电视能够制造或是扳倒总统、教宗、首相！ This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers!
电视就是这个不信神的世界里，最可诅的、最可畏的力量 This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world!
如果它一旦落入恶人之手，我们就有祸了 And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people.
这就是为何埃德·乔治·卢迪之死，是我们的祸事 And that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died.
因为这个公司现在落入了CCA手里 Because this company is now in the hands of CCA
即美国通讯公司 the Communication Corporation of America.
董事会有了一个新的主席 There's a new chairman in the broad.
一个名叫弗兰克·哈克特的男人， A man called Frank Hackett
正坐在卢迪先生第20层的办公室里！ sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the 20th floor!
当世界上第12大的公司 And when the 12th largest company in the world
控制了这个不信神的世界里，最可诅的、最可畏的宣传力量 controls the most awesome, goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world,
谁知道这家电视网会把多少狗屎当作真理兜售 who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network.
所以听我说 听我说！ So you listen to me. Listen to me!
电视里的不是真理 Television is not the truth.
电视是个该死的游乐场 Television's a goddamned amusement park.
电视是马戏团，是狂欢节，是一个由杂技演员、 Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats
说书的、跳舞的、唱歌的、变戏法的、助兴的、驯兽的和橄榄球运动员组成的巡回演出团 storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion-tamers and football players.
我们的工作就是打发无聊 We're in the boredom-killing business.
所以，如果你想获得真理，去找上帝吧 So if you want the truth, go to God.
去找你的精神导师 Go to your gurus.
guru：印度教中的宗教导师或精神导师
去找你自己 Go to yourselves.
因为只有在那里，你才能找到真正的真理 Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth.
但是，伙计，你永远不会从我们这儿获得任何真理 But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us.
我们只会说你爱听的 我们说谎都不眨眼睛 We'll tell you anything you want to hear. We lie like hell.
我们会告诉你柯捷警官总能抓到凶手 We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer
而且阿契·邦克家里从没有人得癌症 and that nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker's house.
无论英雄们遇上多大的麻烦，不必担心， No matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry
看看时间，这个钟头过完他保准会赢！ just look at your watch, at the end of the hour he's gonna win!
我们会告诉你想听的任何屁话 We'll tell you any shit you want to hear.
我们制造了虚幻，伙计 这一切都不是真的 We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true.
可你们这些无论年纪、肤色或信仰的人，却日复一日、夜复一夜地守在这里 But you people sit there, day after day, night after night all ages, colors, creeds.
我们是你们所知的一切 We're all you know.
你们开始相信我们在这里织造的幻影了 You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here.
你们开始以为电视是真实，而自己的生活是虚幻 You're beginning to think the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal.
你们对电视言听计从 You do whatever the tube tells you.
你们像电视里一样穿戴，一样吃喝 You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube
像电视里一样养育后代，甚至像电视里一样思考 you raise your children like the tube, you think like the tube.
这是集体的疯狂啊，你们这些疯子! This is mass madness, you maniacs.
以上帝的名义，你们才是真实的存在 In God's name, you people are the real thing.
我们是虚幻的存在 We are the illusion.
所以，把你们的电视关掉 现在就关掉 So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now.
现在就把它们关掉 再也不要打开 Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off.
就在我说这句话的时侯 把它们关掉 Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now.
关掉电视！ Turn them off!
在计入了电视网的1.1亿负债后， UBS was running at a cash flow break-even point
现在，UBS的现金收支保持平衡 after taking into account $110 million of negative cash flow from the network.
显然，电视网的盈余部分必须被分割出去 It was clear the fat on the network had to be flitched off.
请注意，预计的节目初始收入增加了2100万美元， Please note an increase in projected initial programming revenues in the amount of $21 million,
这要归功于《霍华德·比厄秀》的大获成功 due to the phenomenal success of the Howard Beale Show.
我预计整个联合公司在本财年的现金收益可达4500万 I expect a positive cash flow for the entire complex of 45 million
简而言之，比既定目标提前了一年 achievable in this fiscal year, a year, in short, ahead of schedule.
除此之外 I go beyond that.
电视网可能会成为整个通讯集团最主要的盈利中心 This network may well be the most significant profit center of the communications complex.
根据对投入资金回报率的预测， And based upon the projected rate of return on invested capital
并且如果合并进行完毕 and if merger is eventually accomplished
本通讯集团将会成为整个CCA帝国中 the communications complex may well become the towering and most profitable center
最顶级的、最能盈利的中心 in the entire CCA empire.
诸位还有什么疑问和指教吗？ I await your questions and comments.
詹森先生？ Mr. Jensen?
很好，弗兰克 堪称典范 继续保持 Very good, Frank. Exemplary. Keep it up.
请你喝杯咖啡？ Buy you a cup of coffee?
哦，好的 Hell, yes.
你必须赶回公司吗？ Do you have to get back to the office?
没什么要紧事儿 Nothing that can't wait.
我时不时地去新闻演播室， I drop down to the news studios every now and then
跟霍华德·比厄打听你的情况 and ask Howard Beale about you,
-他说你干得不错 是吗？ -不是 -and he says you're doing fine. Are you? -No.
你一直都很忙吗？ Are you keeping busy?
哦，算是吧 Oh, in a fashion.
这是我两个星期内参加的第三个葬礼了 This is the, uh, third funeral I've been to in two weeks.
我还时常去看看两位住院的朋友 I have two other friends in the hospital whom I visit regularly
还参加了几次洗礼 and, uh, been to a couple of christenings.
似乎我所有的朋友们不是去世，就是抱了孙子 All my friends seem to be dying or having grandchildren.
你自己现在也该当爷爷了 You should be a grandfather yourself about now.
你不是有个怀孕的女儿在西雅图吗？ You have a pregnant daughter in Seattle, don't you?
就快生了 Any day now.
我妻子已经过去守着了 My wife's out there for the occasion.
很多次我想给你打电话 I've thought many times of calling you.
我真希望你打了 I wish you had.
我上个礼拜在电梯里碰到了“占卜师”西比尔 You know, I bumped into Sybil the Soothsayer in the elevator last week.
我说，“知道吗，西比尔，大约四个月前， I said, "You know, Sybil, about four months ago,
你预言我会和一个面色沧桑的中年男子产生感情纠葛 you predicted I would get involved with a craggy, middle-aged man
到现在为止 除了一夜春宵，其他什么也没发生 and so far, all that's happened has been one many-splendored night.
我不认为这能叫“产生纠葛” I don't call that 'getting involved."'
她却说，“别担心，会发生的” And she said, "Don't worry, you will."
那是个美好的夜晚，不是吗，麦克斯？ It was a many-splendored night, wasn't it, Max?
是的 Yes, it was.
我们会继续纠葛下去吗，麦克斯？ Are we going to get involved, Max?
会的 我很想继续下去 Yes. I need to become involved very much.
你呢？ How about you?
我无数次抓起电话想打给你 I've reached for the phone to call you a hundred times. But...
但我知道，我把你的新闻秀抢走了，你一定会恨我 I was sure you hated me for my part in taking your news show away.
我也许恨过 但现在我也不知道了 I probably did. I don't know anymore.
我只知道， All I know is,
我已经无法把你从心里抹去了 I can't get you out of my mind.
马蒂 马蒂，我知道NBC开价多少 Marty. Marty, I know what NBC offered them
所以我建议加到350万，而且要加一条：每部三次播放 so I'm saying go to 3.5 and I want an option for a third run on all of them.
马蒂，我在赶时间 Marty, I'm in a big hurry
由你和查理负责这项谈判 and you and Charlie are supposed to be negotiating this
那么拜拜喽，祝你好运，下周一见 so goodbye, good luck, I'll see you Monday.
-吉米·凯恩的经理人刚刚打电话来，说绝对不行 -不可能搞定所有人 -Jimmy Caan's agent just called and says absolutely nix. -Can't win them all.
待会儿我到哪里去找你？ Where can I reach you later today?
你找不着的 我整个周末都不在 You can't. I'll be gone all weekend.
NBC给五部詹姆斯·邦德系列电影每部开价325万 NBC's offering $3.25 mil per package of five James Bond movies
我想我们可以用350万把它们偷偷赢下来，外加三次播放权 and I think I'm gonna steal them for $3.5 million with a third run.
我想把《毛泽东时间》排到8点档 And I'm gonna stick The Mao Tse-Tung Hour in at 8.
因为我们很难把《毛泽东时间》卖出去 because we're having a lot of trouble selling The Mao Tse-Tung Hour.
那个节目已经成了肉中刺，眼中钉 That Mao Tse-Tung Hour's turning into one big pain in the ass.
我们现在和联邦政府有很严重的法律矛盾 We're having heavy legal problems with the federal government right now.
上周，两个FBI的家伙出现在哈克特的办公室里，递给我们一张传票 Two FBI guys turned up in Hackett's office last week and served us with a subpoena.
他们听说我们有弗拉格斯塔夫独立银行的抢劫录像，想要过去 They heard about our Flagstaff bank rip-off film and they want it.
哈克特叫FBI的人滚蛋 Hackett told the FBI to fuck off.
不，但我们要和新闻部合作这个节目，迷惑住FBI No, but we're getting around the FBI by doing the show in collaboration with the news division.
我们有宪法第一修正案的保护：新闻出版自由以及保护消息来源的权利 We're standing on the First Amendment, Freedom of the Press and the right to protect our sources.
沃尔特认为我们可以摆脱包庇犯罪这一重罪指控 Walter thinks we can knock out the misprision of felony charge.
但他说，绝对不可以做成系列片 But he says absolutely nix on going to series.
他们会以“共谋和诱导犯罪”的罪名起诉我们 They'll hit us with conspiracy and inducement to commit a crime.
老天，这儿真冷啊 Christ, it's cold in here.
我们每周给那帮“普世解放军”的疯子1万块钱 See, we're paying these nuts from the Ecumenical Liberation Army $10,000 a week,
就为了从他们那儿换得革命组织活动的录像带 in order to turn in authentic film footage of their revolutionary activities
这就可能构成“诱导犯罪” and that can constitute inducement to commit a crime.
沃尔特说我们都会被打入联邦监狱 And Walter says we'll all wind up in federal prison.
我说，“沃尔特，让政府告吧 I said, "Walter, let the government sue us.
让联邦政府告我们吧 我们要和他们一路打到最高法院 Let the federal government sue us. We'll take them to the Supreme Court.
那样我们就可以一连几个月占据头条了 We'll be front page, mm, for months.
《纽约时报》《华盛顿邮报》会每周写两篇关于我们的社论 The New York Times and The Washington Post will be writing two editorials a week about us.
我们会一连几个月上头版 比水门事件的曝光度还高 We'll be front page for months. We'll have more press than Watergate."
我们所需的只是六个星期的联邦诉讼 All I need is six weeks' federal litigation
《毛泽东时间》就可以开始有自己的播放时段了 and The Mao Tse-Tung Hour can start carrying its own time slot.
现在真正让我伤脑筋的是日间节目安排 What's really bugging me now is my daytime programming.
NBC用一大堆糟糕的游戏节目牢牢锁定了日间观众 NBC's got a lock on daytime with their lousy game shows
我想打败他们 and I'd like to bust them.
我在考虑制作一部同性恋的肥皂剧 I'm thinking of doing a homosexual soap opera.
就叫《女同性恋者》 是一个令人心碎的长篇故事 The Dykes. The heart-rendering saga about
讲一个女人无可救药地爱上了她丈夫的情妇 a woman hopelessly in love with her husband's mistress.
你觉得怎么样？ What do you think?
你们一起多久了？ How long has it been going on?
一个月 A month.
我以为它会是一时的，一个星期就会告吹 I thought it was a transient thing, blow over in a week.
我仍在向上帝祷告 And I still pray to God
祷告这只是更年期的一时脑热 it's just a menopausal infatuation.
可是这不是一时脑热，路易丝 But it is an infatuation, Louise.
让我说出“我再不会去见她”是没有意义的，因为我做不到 There's no sense in my saying I won't see her again, because I will.
你想要我搬出去，去住宾馆吗？ Do you want me to leave? Check into a hotel?
你爱她吗？ Do you love her?
我不知道自己是什么感觉 I don't know how I feel.
有任何感觉，我都会心存感激 I'm grateful I can feel anything.
我知道我被她迷住了 I know I'm obsessed with her.
那就说出来 Then say it.
不要跟我说什么被迷住了，一时脑热 Don't keep telling me that you're obsessed, that you're infatuated.
就说你爱上了她 Say that you're in love with her.
我爱上她了 I'm in love with her.
那就出去！ Then get out!
想去哪去哪 去住宾馆，去和她住一起 别再回来 Go anywhere you want. Go to a hotel, go live with her, but don't come back.
因为25年来， Because after 25 years of
我们共同建立、经营这个家庭期间， building a home and raising a family and all the senseless pain
给彼此造成了那么多无意义的痛苦， that we have inflicted on each other, I'm damned if I'm gonna stand here
我却得站在这儿，听你说你爱上了别人——要是这也能忍，我就活该下地狱！ and have you tell me you're in love with somebody else.
是不是因为，这一次和你以前跟秘书周末“开会”、 Because this isn't a convention weekend with your secretary, is it?
或是几杯酒下肚后，找个妓女乱搞的那种不一样了？ Or some broad that you picked up after three belts of booze.
这次是你伟大的黄昏恋，是吗？ This is your great winter romance, isn't it?
是你在退休前最后的激情咆哮 Your last roar of passion before you settle into your emeritus years.
这就是你留给我的？ 这就是我应该得的？ Is that what's left for me? Is that my share?
她得到了黄昏恋，我得到了老糊涂 She gets the winter passion and I get the dotage.
还要我怎么做？ 难道我应该坐在家里织毛衣、打毛线， What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to sit home knitting
等着你像个忏悔的酒鬼一样，偷偷溜回家 and purling while you slink back like some penitent drunk?
我是你的妻子，天杀的 I'm your wife, damn it.
就算你不肯和我来段黄昏恋，至少该给我尊重和忠贞 And if you can't work up a winter passion for me the least I require is respect and allegiance.
我好受伤害，你明不明白？ I hurt, don't you understand that?
我心都伤透了 I hurt badly.
哦，说句话啊，看在老天的份儿上 Oh, say something, for God's sake.
我没什么可说的 I've got nothing to say.
我不会轻易放弃你的，麦克斯 I won't give you up easily, Max.
我想你最好搬出去 I think perhaps it is better if you move out.
她爱你吗，麦克斯？ Does she love you, Max?
我不确定她有没有任何真实的情感 I'm not sure she's capable of any real feelings.
她就是电视一代 She's television generation.
从兔八哥那儿学习何为人生 She learned life from Bugs Bunny.
她所知的唯一真实世界，就是电视里演的那样 The only reality she knows comes to her over the TV set.
她很用心地设计了不少情景，供我们所有人在其中扮演角色，就像每周电影里那样 She's very carefully devised a number of scenarios for all of us to play, like the Movie of the Week.
上帝啊，看看我们，路易斯 My God, look at us, Louise.
我们现在正上演着这出戏第二幕的老套的中间场景， Here we are going through the obligatory middle of Act 2
即被鄙弃的妻子把犯了错的丈夫轰出家门 scorned wife throws peccant husband out scene.
但是别担心，到了结尾我会回到你身边 But don't worry, I'll come back to you in the end.
在她的故事大纲里，我总是会离开她，然后回到你身边 All of her plot outlines have me leaving her and coming back to you,
因为抛弃幸福的美国家庭这种情节，观众不会买账的 because the audience won't buy a rejection of the happy American family.
她还有一个剧本，在里面我自杀了 She does have one script in which I kill myself.
就像是《安娜·卡列尼娜》的电视剧改编版 An adapted for television version of Anna Karenina
在里面她是弗龙斯基伯爵，我是安娜 where she's Count Vronsky and I'm Anna.
有你后悔的时候，麦克斯 You're in for some dreadful grief, Max.
我知道 I know.
《毛泽东时间》于3月14日正式播出 The Mao Tse-Tung Hour went on the air March 14.
占有率高达47% It received a 47 share.
电视网迅速承诺还将有15集，并有10集备选 The network promptly committed to 15 shows with an option for 10 more.
签约中有一些常见的问题出现 There were the usual contractual difficulties.
“相当于百分之20，除非是90分钟或更长的电视节目 "Equal to 20 percent, 20, except that such percentages shall be 30 percent, 30
则为百分之30” for 90-minute or longer television programs."
我们解决那个次级许可证了吗？ Have we settled that sublicensing thing?
我们需要一个明确的定义 We want a clear definition here.
“总收益应包括次级被许可人收到的全部资金， "Gross proceeds should consist of all funds the sublicensee receives
而不仅仅是扣除了支付给次级被许可人或经销商后的净金额” not merely the net amount remitted after payment to the sublicensee or distributor."
别想把运营费用算进分销前的成本，我们不会坐视不管 We're not sitting still for overhead charges as a cost prior to distribution.
休想打我的分销费用的主意 Don't fuck with my distribution costs.
我每集才赚215 I'm making a lousy 215 per segment.
我已经每周从麦德龙那儿亏了两万五 I'm already deficiting $25,000 a week with Metro!
我还得把总收入的10%付给威廉·莫里斯 I'm paying William Morris 10 percent off the top!
我还得给这个花架子1万，给那个傻白甜5千 And I'm giving this turkey $10,000 and another five to this fruitcake.
海伦，不要再跟我提这事儿了 And Helen, don't start no shit with me about a piece again.
我得付给麦德龙20%，打发所有国外和加拿大的经销商 I'm paying Metro 20 percent for all foreign and Canadian distribution
这还是扣除之后的！ And that after recoupment!
在我们进行联合发售之前，共产党休想得到一分钱！ The Communist Party's not gonna see a nickel of it goddamn show until we go into syndication!
syndication：联合发售，将电视节目的广播权出租给多个电视台
拜托，劳琳 共产党每周投入的制作成本要7500块 Come on, Laureen. The Party's in for 7500 a week production expenses.
我不准这些假的暴乱分子插手我的节目 I'm not giving this pseudo-insurrectionary sectarian a piece of my show.
我不准他审批剧本 也不准把他算进我的分销费用里 I'm not giving him script approval. I sure aren't counting him in on my distribution charges.
你他妈是个法西斯分子！ You fucking fascist!
你看过我们拍的圣马力诺监狱越狱的片子了吗？ Did you see the film we made of San Marino jail breakout
它代表了开创性的囚犯阶级底层组织的崛起 demonstrating the rising up of the seminal prisoner-class infrastructure?
让你那套开创性的囚犯阶级底层组织见鬼去吧！ You can blow the seminal prisoner-class infrastructure out your ass!
我不会降低我的分销费用 I'm not knocking down my goddamn distribution charges.
好了 就同意她的开销条款吧 Man, give her the fucking overhead clause.
说出来谁会信？ Who's gonna believe this?
我们回到22页第5条a项 Let's get back to Page 22, 5, small "A",
“附属权利” Subsidiary Rights.
-我们说到哪了？ -22页中间，“附属权利” -Where are we now? -Page 22, middle of the page. Subsidiary Rights.
“附属权利”是指没有限制的任何和所有的权利 "'Subsidiary rights' means without limitation any and all rights."
在过去的两天里， Over the past two days,
你们都见过了戴安娜·克里斯滕森， you've all had opportunity to meet Diana Christensen
我们负责制片的副主席 our vice president in charge of programming.
今天下午，你们都看过了她为下一季准备的节目 This afternoon, you all saw some of the stuff she's set up for the new season.
你们都知道她是《霍华德·比厄秀》的幕后推手 You all know that she is the woman behind the Howard Beale Show.
她很漂亮 We all know she's beautiful.
很聪明 We all know she's brainy.
我在想，在我们开始品尝夏多布里昂葡萄酒之前 I was thinking, before we start digging into our Chateaubriands
让我们向她表示一下祝贺 Let's show her how we feel about her.
我们有最好的电视节目！ We have the number-one show in television!
明年的全体大会上， At next year's affiliates' meeting
我会站在这里宣布，最好节目我们将包揽前五 I'll be standing here telling you we've got the top five.
去年，我们是排行第四的电视网 Last year, we were the number-four network
明年，我们将会是第一！ next year we're number one!
我们是第一！ 我们是第一！ We're number one! We're number one!
第一！ We're number one!
现在是洛杉矶时间7点整 It is exactly 7:00 here in Los Angeles.
现在，全市有超过100万个看电视的家庭 And right now, over a million homes using television in this city
切换到了第三频道 are turning their dials to Channel 3
也就是我们的频道！ and that's our channel!
霍华德·比厄！ Howard Beale!
停下来，停下来！ Stop it, stop it!
现在听我说 Now you listen to me.
听好了，因为我今天要讲的是你们该死的生活 And listen carefully because this is your goddamn life I'm talking about today.
在我们这个国家， In this country,
当一家公司想接管另一家公司的时候， when one company wants to take over another company
他们需要买入足够的股份，获得控股权 they buy up a controlling share of the stock
但首先他们得向政府提出书面通知 but first they have to file notice with the government.
CCA就是这样接管我们这家电视网的 That's how CCA took over the company that owns this network.
但现在，有人要收购CCA But now, somebody's buying up CCA.
它叫做西部世界基金公司 Somebody called the Western World Funding Corporation.
他们今早已经上交了书面通知 They filed the notice this morning.
那么，这个西部世界基金公司，到底是何方神圣？ Well, just who in the hell is the Western World Funding Corporation?
它是一个由银行和保险公司组成的财团， It is a consortium of banks and insurance companies
他们不是为自己购买CCA， who are not buying CCA for themselves,
他们只是别人的代理人 but as agents for somebody else.
那这个别人又是谁？ 他们不会告诉你 And who is this somebody else? They won't tell you.
他们不会告诉你，也不会告诉参议院 They won't tell you, they won't tell the Senate
不会告诉SEC（证券交易委员会）、FTC（联邦贸易委员会）、 they won't tell the SEC, the FTC,
不会告诉司法部 不会告诉任何人…… they won't tell the Justice Department. They won't tell anyone...
我是哈克特 是不是有个纽约来的找我的电话？ This is Mr. Hackett. Do you have a New York call for me?
能把声音关小一点吗？ Do you wanna turn that down, please?
我来告诉你们他们在替谁收购CCA I will tell you who they're buying CCA for.
是为沙特阿拉伯投资公司 They're buying it for the Saudi Arabian Investment Corporation.
他们是为阿拉伯人买的！ They're buying it for the Arabs!
克莱伦斯？ 我是弗兰克·哈克特 纽约那边怎么样了？ Clarence? Frank Hackett here. How's everything back in New York?
你的妻子怎么样了？ How's the good lady?
好了，克莱伦斯，慢点说 我听不懂你在说些什么 All right, Clarence, take it easy. I don't know what you're talking about.
什么时候？ 今晚的节目上？ When? Tonight's show?
克莱伦斯，慢点说 Clarence, take it easy.
这儿的《霍华德·比厄秀》刚刚开播 The Howard Beale Show is just going on out here.
你们纽约比我们早3个小时看到 You guys get it three hours earlier in New York.
克莱伦斯，慢点说 Clarence, take it easy.
我怎么看得到？ 现在才刚刚开播！ How the hell could I see it? It's just going on now!
詹森先生什么时候打的电话？ When did Mr. Jensen call?
我们都知道阿拉伯人控制了我国160亿的财富 We all know that the Arabs control $16 billion in this country.
他们占领了第五大道，还在波士顿有20多个中心地带 They own a chunk of 5th Avenue, twenty downtown pieces of Boston.
还有新奥尔良港的一部分 盐湖城的一个工业园 A part of the port of New Orleans. An industrial park in Salt Lake City.
他们拥有亚特兰大希尔顿酒店 They own big hunks of the Atlanta Hilton,
亚利桑那土地和畜牧公司 the Arizona Land and Cattle Company
加利福尼亚国家安全银行 The security national bank in California
底特律的联邦银行 the Bank of the Commonwealth in Detroit.
他们还控制了阿美石油公司 They control Aramco,
等于是拥有了埃克森、德士古和美孚的石油 so that puts them into Exxon, Texaco and Mobil Oil.
他们无处不在！ 新泽西、路易威尔、圣路易斯、密苏里 They're all over! New Jersey, Louisville, St. Louis, Missouri
这还只是我们已知的 and that's only what we know about.
我们不知道的还多着呢！ There's a hell of a lot more we don't know about.
因为所有这些阿拉伯“石油美元” Because all of those Arab petrol dollars are washed
都是通过瑞士、加拿大，还有我们国家最大的银行洗出来的 through Switzerland and Canada and the biggest banks in this country.
比如说，我们既不知道这次CCA的交易 For example, what we don't know about is this CCA deal
还有其他的CCA交易 and all the other CCA deals.
现在，阿拉伯人已经从我们身上榨取了足够的美金 Right now the Arabs have screwed us out of enough American dollars
以至于可以回过头来，用我们的钱 to come right back and, with our own money,
买下通用汽车、IBM、ITT（国际电话电信公司）、AT&T（电报电话公司） buy General Motors, IBM, ITT, AT&T,
杜邦、美国钢铁公司，还有其他20家的美国公司 Dupont, U.S. Steel and 20 other American companies.
老天！他们已经买下了半个英国 Hell, they already own half of England.
听我说 Now listen to me.
都听我说 Listen to me, goddamn it.
阿拉伯人想要把我们买下来 The Arabs are simply buying us.
只有一件事能够阻挡他们！ 就是你们！ There's only one thing that can stop them. You!
你们！ You!
所以我要你们现在站起来 So I want you to get up now.
从你们的椅子上站起来 I want you to get up out of your chairs.
我要你站起来走到电话跟前 I want you to get up right now and go to the phone.
我要你从椅子上站起来，走到电话跟前，钻进汽车 I want you to get up from your chairs, go to the phone, get in your cars
开到当地的西联电报公司 drive into the Western Union offices in town.
我要你给白宫发一封电报 I want you to send a telegram to the White House.
-哦，老天呐 -到今天午夜 -Oh, my God. -By midnight tonight
我希望有100万封电报打进白宫！ I want a million telegrams in the White House.
我希望白宫的人得在没过膝盖的电报里跋涉 I want them wading knee-deep in telegrams at the White House.
我要你现在就站起来，发电报给福特总统 I want you to get up right now and write a telegram to President Ford saying:
就说：“我彻底疯啦，我再也不要忍受下去了！ Say:"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore.
我不想要银行把我们的国家卖给阿拉伯人 I don't want the banks selling my country to the Arabs.
我要CCA的交易立刻停止 I want the CCA deal stopped now.
大点声 我要CCA的交易立刻停止 Come on. I want the CCA deal stopped now!
我要CCA的交易立刻停止 I want the CCA deal stopped now!
-你们能出去一下吗？ -当然 -Look, could we have the room? -Sure.
我想看看这个的打印稿，然后再多看几遍 Well, I'd like to see a typescript and run through a couple more times.
但是对于CCA和沙特的交易这整件事 But as for this whole CCA deal with the Saudis
弗兰克，你比我知道的多得多 you'd know a lot more about that, Frank, than I would.
这是真的吗？ Is it true?
CCA找沙特贷款了20亿 The CCA has 2 billion in loans with the Saudis
我们所有的质押物都握在他们手上 and they hold every pledge we've got.
我们亟需沙特人的钱 We need that Saudi money bad.
真是场灾难 这节目真是场灾难 Disaster. The show is a disaster.
灭顶之灾啊 丧钟已经敲响 Unmitigated disaster. The death knell.
我被毁了 我要死了 我完蛋了 I'm ruined. I'm dead. I'm finished.
也许我们高估了比厄的公众影响力呢 Maybe we're overstating Beale's clout with the public.
一个小时之前 An hour ago,
克莱伦斯·麦克尔赫尼从纽约给我打电话来 Clarence McElheny called me from New York.
现在东部的时间是10点 It was 10:00 in the east
我们在白宫的报告说，电报已经没过他们的膝盖了 and our people in the White House report they were already knee-deep in telegrams.
到明天早上，电报就要把他们淹死了 By tomorrow morning, they'll be suffocating in telegrams.
政府能够阻止这笔交易吗？ Can the government stop the deal?
他们可以搁置它 They can hold it up.
如果SEC（证券交易委员会）愿意的话，可以拖上二十年 The SEC could hold this deal up for 20 years, if they wanted to.
我玩完了 I'm finished.
电话随时都会响起， Any second that phone's gonna ring
然后克莱伦斯·麦克尔赫尼会告诉我，詹森先生要我明早到他的办公室去 and Clarence Mcelheny is gonna tell me Mr. Jensen wants me in his office tomorrow morning
以便他亲手把我的脑袋给剁下来 so he can personally chop my head off.
四个小时前，我还是CCA的太阳神 Four hours ago, I was the sun god at CCA.
詹森先生钦点的金童、未来的接班人 Mr. Jensen's hand-picked golden boy, the heir apparent.
现在，我却成了失业人口 Now, ha, ha, I'm a man without a corporation.
说回到霍华德·比厄的事 Let's get back to Howard Beale.
你不会真的想让比厄停播吧？ You're not seriously gonna pull Beale off the air?
詹森先生对霍华德·比厄不满，他想要他停播 Mr. Jensen's unhappy with Howard Beale and wants him discontinued.
他可能会不满， But he may be unhappy,
但他又不会蠢到因为赌气就撤掉电视上收视第一的节目 but he isn't stupid enough to withdraw the number-one show on television out of pique.
20亿美元可不是什么赌气！ 那是上帝之怒！ Two billion dollars isn't pique! That's the wrath of God!
而发怒的上帝要把霍华德·比厄炒了！ And the wrath of God wants Howard Beale fired!
还有，他一走，其他电视网都会抢着要他 What's more, every other network will grab him the minute he walks out the studio.
明天他就会出现在ABC，而我们会损失20个点 He'll be back on the air for ABC and we'll lose 20 points
我要用根尖锐的棍子钉进这个王八蛋的心脏 I'm gonna impale the son of a bitch with a sharp stick!
-我们的一年收入会减少4000万 -我要找出合同告他 -Forty million loss in revenues for a year. -I'll take out a contract.
-打官司不在我们的考虑范围内 -我要雇一个职业杀手 -Let's not discount federal action. -I'll hire professional killers.
不，我要亲自动手 No, I'll do it myself.
我要拿根腰带勒死他！ I'll strangle him with a sash cord!
我觉得詹森谁都不会开除 I don't think Jensen's gonna fire anybody.
是的，克莱伦斯 我已经订好机票了 Yes, Clarence. I've already booked my flight.
呃，好吧，你能多给我一点时间吗？ Uh, well, can you give me a little more time than that?
我订的是夜班飞机 I've got the red-eye flight,
我明早6点才能到纽约 I won't be back in New York till 6 tomorrow morning.
那就好 That'll be just fine.
到时候见 I'll see you then.
詹森先生想要亲自会见霍华德·比厄 Mr. Jensen wants to meet Howard Beale personally.
他要比厄先生明早10点到他的办公室 He wants Mr. Beale in his office at 10:00 tomorrow morning.
最后的启示就要降临了 The final revelation is at hand.
我已目睹了终极明示的电闪雷鸣 I have seen the shattering fulgurations of ultimate clarity.
光亮即将到来 我见证了那道光的到来！ The light is impending. I bear witness to the light!
早上好，比厄先生 他们说你是个疯子 Good morning, Mr. Beale. They tell me you're a madman.
只是时不时发疯 Only desultorily.
-你现在怎么样了？ -我疯的跟帽匠一样了 -How are you now? -I'm as mad as a hatter.
mad as a hatter：谚语，形容精神错乱 早期制帽中会使用水银，帽匠易受其毒害发疯
谁没疯呢？ Who isn't?
我带你到会议室去 I'm going to take you into our conference room.
我想要说的话在那边聊会比较合适 Seems more seemly a setting for what I have to say to you.
我是干销售起家的，比厄先生 I started as a salesman, Mr. Beale.
我卖过缝纫机、汽车配件、 I sold sewing machines and automobile parts
毛刷和电子设备 hairbrushes and electronic equipment.
他们说我什么都能卖掉 They say I can sell anything.
我也想兜售点东西给你 I'd like to try to sell something to you.
瓦尔哈拉，比厄先生 Valhalla, Mr. Beale.
Valhalla：北欧神话中的英灵殿
请坐 Please, sit down.
你擅自干涉了大自然的原始力量，比厄先生 You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale.
我绝不允许这个！ 听明白了吗？ And I won't have it! Is that clear?
你以为你只是在阻止一项交易 You think you've merely stopped a business deal.
事实却并非如此 That is not the case.
阿拉伯人已经从我国赚走了亿万财富 The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country
现在是时候让他们偿还了！ and now they must put it back!
这是潮涨潮落，潮汐引力，是生态平衡 It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity, it is ecological balance.
你是一个只会从国家和民族角度去思考的老人 You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples.
国家并不存在，民族并不存在 There are no nations, there are no peoples.
这世上没有苏联人 没有阿拉伯人 There are no Russians. There are no Arabs.
没有第三世界 没有西方世界 There are no Third Worlds. There is no West!

马克，日元，卢布，英镑，锡克尔 Reichsmarks, rins, rubles, pounds and shekels.
正是国际货币体系 It is the international system of currency
决定着这个星球上全部的生活 which determines the totality of life on this planet.
这就是今日万物运行的自然法则 That is the natural order of things today.
这就是今日万物的 That is the atomic
微观 and subatomic
atomic, subatomic直译“原子的、亚原子的”
和宏观的结构 and galactic structure of things to-day.
galactic直译“巨大的”
而你已经干涉了大自然的原始力量！ And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
你必须赎罪 And you will atone.
我说得够清楚了吗，比厄先生？ Am I getting it through to you, Mr. Beale?
你站在你21寸的小屏幕前 You get up on your little 21-inch screen
嚷嚷着美国与民主 and howl about America and democracy.
美国并不存在，民主并不存在 There is no America. There is no democracy.
只存在IBM和ITT There is only IBM and ITT
AT&T and AT&T
杜邦、陶氏、联合碳化公司还有埃克森 and Dupont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon,
这些才是当今世界的各个国家 Those are the nations of the world today.
你以为俄国人在国务会议上讨论的是什么？ What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state?

他们会拿出自己的线性规划表、 They get out their linear programming charts
统计决策理论、极值规划， statistical decision theories, minimax solutions
算出交易和投资的收入/成本比值 and compute price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments
跟我们完全一样 just like we do.
我们不再是生活在一个由国家和意识形态构成的世界中了，比厄先生 We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale.
这个世界 The world is a,
是个由企业组成的协会 college of corporations
被恒定不变的商业法则 inexorably determined by the
无情地主宰着 immutable bylaws of business.
这世界就是一门生意，比厄先生 The world is a business, Mr. Beale.
自从人类从混沌中爬出来就是如此了 It has been since man crawled out of the slime.
我们的子孙后代，比厄先生 And our children will live, Mr. Beale
将会看到那个 to see that
完美的世界 perfect world
在那里，没有战争和饥荒 in which there's no war or famine
压迫和暴行 oppression or brutality.
一个巨大的、普世的控股公司 One vast and ecumenical holding company
人人都将为一个共同的利益工作 for whom all men will work to serve a common profit
在那里，人人都将持有其股份 in which all men will hold a share of stock
所需的得满足 all necessities provided
焦虑的得安抚 all anxieties tranquillized
烦闷的得娱乐 all boredom amused.
而我选中了你，比厄先生 And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale
来传讲这个福音 to preach this evangel.
为什么是我？ Why me?
因为你上电视，笨蛋 Because you're on television, dummy.
有6千万美国人每晚收看你的节目 Sixty million people watch you every night of the week,
从周一到周五 Monday through Friday.
我看见了上帝的脸 I have seen the face of God.
也许你说对了，比厄先生 You just might be right, Mr. Beale.
那天晚上，霍华德·比厄在节目中 That evening, Howard Beale went on the air
传讲了亚瑟·詹森的公司宇宙论 to preach the corporate cosmology of Arthur Jensen.
昨天晚上，我站在这儿，要求你们这些人站起来，为自己继承的财产而战 Last night I got up here and asked you people to stand up and fight for your heritage,
你们做了，而且做的漂亮 and you did, and it was beautiful.
白宫收到了600万封电报 Six million telegrams were received at the White House.
阿拉伯人收购CCA的交易被中止了 The Arab takeover of CCA has been stopped.
人民发声了，人民胜利了 The people spoke, the people won.
这是民主的一次万丈光芒的迸发 It was a radiant eruption of democracy.
但我想到此为止吧，诸位 But I think that was it, fellas.
那种事情不太可能再发生了 That sort of thing is not likely to happen again.
因为在我们每个人惊恐的灵魂深处 Because at the bottom of all our terrified souls
都知道民主是个垂死的巨人 we know that democracy is a dying gianta sick,
一个病恹恹的、垂死的、腐烂的政治概念，在它最后的痛苦里蠕动 sick-sick, dying, decaying, political concept writhing in its final pain.
我并不是说，美国作为世界的一极已经完蛋了 I don't mean that the United States is finished as a world power.
美国是最富有、最强大、最先进的国家，领先其他任何国家数光年 The States is the richest and most powerful the most advanced country, light years ahead of any country.
我也不是说，共产党将会主宰世界 And I don't mean the communists are gonna take over the world.
因为他们比我们僵死得还要彻底 Because the communists are deader than we are.
完蛋的是这个信念： What is finished
这个伟大的国家会致力于保障每个公民的自由和繁荣 is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it.
完蛋的是个人 It's the individual that's finished.
完蛋的是每一个独立的个人 It's the single, solitary, human being that's finished.
也就是你们在座的每一个人 It's every single one of you out there that's finished.
因为这再也不是由独立个体组成的国家 Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals.
这是一个由2亿多个装有晶体管的、没有体臭的、比不锈钢还白的躯壳组成的国家 It's a nation of some 200-odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter than white steel-belted bodies,
完全没必要称为人类了 totally unnecessary as human beings
就像活塞杆一样可以被替换掉 and as replaceable as piston rods.
在这个时代，我们用“去人性化”来形容它，真的是个贬义词吗？ Well, the time has come to say is "dehumanization" such a bad word?
但不管是褒是贬，现实就是如此 Whether it's good or bad, that's what is so.
全世界（的人）都变成了人形机器 The whole world is becoming humanoid,
似人却又非人的生物 creatures that look human but aren't.
举世皆然，不只是我们（国家） The whole world, not just us.
我们是最先进的国家，所以会最先达到 We're just the most advanced country, so we're getting there first.
全世界的人都会变成大规模生产的 The whole world's people are becoming mass-produced,
程序化的编码的、无知觉的物品 programmed numbered insensate things.
这一论点完全说服了大家，霍华德·比厄在之后的几天里又进一步地延伸 It was a perfectly admissible argument that Howard Beale advanced in the days that followed.
然而，它同时也是非常致郁的 It was, however, also a very depressing one.
没人真的想听到，自己的生活毫无意义 Nobody particularly cared to hear his life was utterly valueless.
到6月的第一周结束时， 霍华德·比厄秀的开机率跌了1个百分点 By the end of the first week in June the Howard Beale Show dropped one point in the ratings
占有率走势自去年11月以来，首次跌破48% and its trend of shares dipped under 48 for the first time since last November.
你是他的经纪人 卢 You're his goddamn agent, Lou.
我指着你去跟那个疯子讲道理 I'm counting on you to talk some sense into the lunatic.
没人愿意听垂死的民主和去人性化 Nobody wants to hear about dying democracy and dehumanization.
抱歉我来迟了 I'm sorry I'm late.
代理商开始向我们抱怨连天 We're starting to get rumbles from the agencies.
再过几周，广告赞助商就要撤走 Another couple of weeks and the sponsors will be bailing out!
这是在违反合同 This is a breach of contract.
这不是我们当时签下的霍华德·比厄 你得让他不要再讲那个公司宇宙论 This isn't the Howard Beale we signed, Lou. You better get him off that corporate universe kick,
否则我就要让他停播！ or so help me, I'll pull him off the air!
我跟他说了，卢！ 我天天都跟他说，说了一个星期了！ I told him, Lou! I've been telling him every day for a week!
我都说烦了 你跟他说去吧！ I'm sick of telling him. Now you tell him!
耶稣基督啊 Jesus Christ.
你可以帮我劝劝霍华德 You could help me out with Howard if you wanted to.
他会听你的 你是他最好的朋友 He listens to you. You're his best friend.
我已经受够了霍华德·比厄的歇斯底里 I'm tired of all this hysteria about Howard Beale.
每次你见过你们家亲戚之后 Every time you come from seeing somebody in your family
回来就摆出这副中年情绪 you come back in one of these middle-aged moods.
我受够了每次回来你都在打电话 And I'm tired of finding you on the goddamned telephone every time I turn around.
我受够了做你生活的附属品 I'm tired of being an accessory in your life.
我也受够了装模作样地写这本破书 And I'm tired of pretending to write this dumb book
讲我在电视界早年的伟大时代特立独行的经历 about my maverick days in the great early years of television.
过去20年里，每一个电视网被炒的高管 Every goddamned executive fired from a network in the last 20 years
都写过这种关于电视界早年的伟大时代的破书 has written this dumb book about the great early years of television.
没人想看这种愚蠢的、该死的说电视界早年的破书 And nobody wants a dumb, damn, goddamn book about the early days of television.
好极了，麦克斯！ 也许你可以改行去做演员了 Terrific, Max! Maybe you can start a whole new career as an actor.
说得对 It's the truth.
和你共同生活了6个月后， After living with you for six months,
我已经变成了你的一部剧本 I'm turning into one of your scripts.
可这不是剧本，戴安娜 Well, this is not a script, Diana.
我们正在经历的是真实不虚的生活 There's some real, actual life going on here.
我今天去看我妻子，因为她一直情绪低落 I went to visit my wife today because she's in a state of depression
以至于我女儿大老远从西雅图飞来陪她 so depressed that my daughter flew all the way from Seattle to be with her.
为此我感觉糟透了 And I feel lousy about that.
我为自己给妻子和孩子带来的痛苦感到难过 I feel lousy about the pain that I've caused my wife and my kids.
我感到愧疚和良心不安 I feel guilty and conscience-stricken
所有这些情感，你认为是滥情 and all of those things that you think sentimental
但在我们这代人看来，这些是再普通不过的作为人的体面 but which my generation calls simple, human decency.
我想家了 And I miss my home
因为我开始极度恐惧起来 because I'm beginning to get scared shitless.
因为突然间，终点比起点更近了 Because all of a sudden it's closer to the end than it is to the beginning.
对我来说，死亡突然间成了可感的事物 And death is suddenly a perceptible thing to me
有了清晰的特征 with definable features.
你面对的是一个天生疑惧的男人，戴安娜 You're dealing with a man that has primal doubts, Diana
你必须得认真对待 and you've got to cope with it.
我并不是像《芭芭拉·沃尔特秀》那样，在讨论男性更年期 I'm not some guy discussing male menopause on the Barbara Walters Show.
我是你可能爱着的男人 I'm the man that you presumably love.
我是你生命的一部分 I'm part of your life.
我就住在这儿 我是真实的 I live here. I'm real.
你可没法换个台（，就让我从眼前消失） You can't switch to another station.
你到底想要我做什么？ What exactly is it you want me to do?
我只要你爱我 I just want you to love me.
我只要你爱我，爱我的天生疑惧和所有的一切 I just want you to love me, primal doubts and all.
你明白吗？ You understand that, don't you?
我不知道该怎么做 I don't know how to do that.
我待会儿再跟你说，麦克斯 I'll be with you in a minute, Max.
截至到了7月的第一周，《霍华德·比厄秀》收视率跌了11个点 By the first week in July the Howard Beale Show was down 11 points.
歇斯底里席卷了整个电视网 Hysteria swept through the network.
他是瘟疫 是天花 是伤寒 He's a plague. He's smallpox. He's typhoid.
我不要再上他的狗屁节目了 I don't wanna follow his goddamn show.
我要离开8点档 I want out of that 8:00 spot.
没有霍华德·比厄作开场白，我已经够头大了！ I've got enough troubles without Howard Beale as a lead-in!
你们这帮家伙让我和《托尼·奥兰多和唐恩》撞了时间 You guys schedule me against Tony Orlando and Dawn.
NBC有《大草原上的小房子》 NBC's got Little House on the Prairie.
ABC有《无敌女金刚》 ABC's got The Bionic Woman.
你们得做点什么！你们得对霍华德·比厄想个对策！ You got to do something! You gotta do something about Howard Beale!
让他停播！ 让他停播！ Get him off the air! Get him off!
做点什么！ 什么都行！ Do something! Do anything!
我们在找人取代他！ We're trying to find a replacement for him!
我现在就要去看试镜样片！ I'm going to look at audition footage now!
以及患者如何痊愈 And how when the sicks heal
朋友啊，我告诉你，我亲眼目睹！ man, I tell you I saw it!
它真重啊，伙计 我看到地球在颤抖 It was heavy, baby. I saw the earth quake.
我看到月亮化作血轮 And I saw the moon became like blood.
山岭海岛都被挪移离开本位 And every mountain and island was moved from its place.
出自《圣经·启示录》6: 14
不行，不行 去死吧 No, no, no. Damn it.
如果我们想要《地狱之火》，还不如找比利·格雷厄姆！ If we wanted hellfire we'd get Billy Graham!
我们不要信仰治疗师、福音传教士或是奥伯阿默高激情戏的演员！ We don't want faith healers, evangelists or Oberammergau passion players!
Oberammergau passion play，巴伐利亚奥伯阿默村上演的讲述耶稣受难的激情剧
那个ABC即将签约，用来明年跟我们竞争的弥赛亚呢？ What about that messiah that ABC was supposed to have signed up as our competition for next year?
就是他 That's him.
就是他？ That's him?
老天呐 关掉！ Jesus. Turn him off!
我还有三个，但最好的你已经看过了 I've got three more, but you've already seen the best one.
有一个斯波坎来的精神导师 I've got a guru from Spokane
还有两个见到了圣母玛丽亚的地狱火教徒 and two more hellfires who see visions of the Virgin Mary.
我们是找不到替代霍华德·比厄的替代者的 我们别再自欺欺人了 We're not gonna find a replacement for Howard Beale. Let's stop kidding ourselves.
成熟的救世主可不是一抓一大把 Fully fledged messiahs don't come in bunches.
我们要么和霍华德·比厄一起完蛋，要么就把他赶走 We either go with Howard Beale or we go without him.
我的报告显示，没有他比较好 My reports say we'll do better without him.
这种情况再持续一周，就会是场灾难了 It would be disaster to let this situation go on another week.
到时候，他都要掉到16%了 By then, he'll be down 16 points
这势头一旦开始，就是不可逆转的了 and the trend irreversible, if it isn't already.
我认为我们该解雇霍华德 I think we should fire Howard.
亚瑟·詹森个人对《霍华德·比厄秀》有强烈的兴趣 Arthur Jensen has taken a strong personal interest in the Howard Beale Show.
我今晚要和他吃饭 I'm having dinner with him tonight.
让我再探探他的口气 Let me have another crack at Jensen
然后今晚10点在我办公室见 and then let's meet in my office at 10:00 tonight.
戴安娜，把你所有的观众调查报告复制几份给我 Diana, give me copies of all your audience research reports.
我可能要给詹森看看 I may need them for Jensen.
10点来大家都没问题吧？ Is 10:00 convenient for everyone?
麦克斯，我想现在是时候重新评估我们的关系了 Max, I think the time has come to re-evaluate our relationship, Max.
我看得出来 So I see.
我不喜欢我们的剧本发展到这个地步 I don't like the way this script of ours is turning out.
它正变成一出肮脏的小闹剧 It's turning into a seedy little drama.
中年男子为了年轻无情的女子抛弃发妻，离开家庭，糟践自己 Middle-aged man leaves wife and family for young heartless woman, goes to pot.
就像玛琳·黛德丽和埃米尔·詹宁斯的《蓝天使》 The Blue Angel with Marlene Dietrich and Emil Jannings.
-我不喜欢这个 -所以你就想把节目砍掉 -I don't like it. -So you're gonna cancel the show.
-是的 -那好，让我来 -Right. -Here, let me do that.
麦克斯，原因很简单，你是个居家型男人 The simple fact is, Max, that you're a family man.
你喜欢家庭和孩子 这很好 但我无法做出这样的承诺 You like a home and kids. That's beautiful. I'm incapable of any such commitment.
你能从我这儿得到的只是几个月来的断断续续的性爱 All you'll get from me is a couple months of intermittent sex
和昨晚那样相互指责的不愉快的小经历 and recriminate and ugly little scenes like the one we had last night.
我很抱歉昨晚对你说出那种话 I'm sorry for all those things I said to you last night.
你不是我遇到的最差的床伴 You're not the worst fuck I've ever had.
相信我，我还有过更糟的 Believe me, I've had worse.
你不会哼哧哼哧地喘气或是咯吱作响，一副要死的样子 You don't puff or snorkle and make death-like rattles.
老实说，你在床上很平静 As a matter of fact, you're rather serene in the sack.
为什么女人总认为她可以对一个男人说出的 Why is it that a woman always thinks
最狠毒的话就是抨击其床上功夫呢？ that the most savage thing she can say to a man is to impugn his cocksmanship?
好吧，很抱歉我抨击了你的床上功夫 Well, I'm sorry I impugned your cocksmanship.
自打学生时代，我就不再跟人比较短长了 I gave up comparing genitals back in the schoolyard.
你在这方面倒是挺坦荡 You're being docile as hell about this.
戴安娜，几个星期以前我就知道我们的关系告吹了 Oh, hell, Diana, I knew it was over with us weeks ago.
你会回到你妻子身边吗？ Will you go back to your wife?
我会试试，但我想她不会立马接受 I'll give it a try, but I don't think she'll jump at it.
但不必为我担心 But don't worry about me.
我会处理好 我一向如此，将来也不例外 I'll manage. I always have, I always will.
我更担心的是你 I'm more concerned about you.
你不是靠酒精麻醉自己的那类人 You're not the boozer type.
所以我估计还有一年、也许两年，你就会崩溃 So I figure a year, maybe two, before you crack up.
或者从你14层的办公室窗户跳下来 Or jump out of your 14th floor office window.
别再说了，麦克斯 我不需要你 Stop selling, Max. I don't need you.
我不想要你的痛苦 I don't want your pain.
我不想要你更年期的衰退和死亡！ I don't want your menopausal decay and death!
-我不需要你，麦克斯 现在给我出去 -你需要我！ -I don't need you, Max. Now get out of here! -You need me!
你很需要我 因为我是你和人类现实世界最后的联系 You need me badly. Because I'm your last contact with human reality.
我爱你 I love you.
这份痛苦的腐朽的爱，是把你和你余生里的 And that painful, decaying love is the only thing between you
刺耳的虚无分隔开的唯一的存在 and the shrieking nothingness you live the rest of the day.
那就不要离开我 Then don't leave me.
太迟了，戴安娜 It's too late, Diana.
你身上已经不剩任何东西可以挽留我了 There's nothing left in you that I can live with.
你就是霍华德所说的人形机器 You're one of Howard's humanoids
如果我跟你一起，我也会被毁掉 and if I stay with you, I'll be destroyed.
就像霍华德·比厄已经被毁 Like Howard Beale was destroyed.
就像劳伦·霍布斯已经被毁 Like Laureen Hobbs was destroyed.
就像被你和电视机构触碰过的一切，都会被毁掉 Like everything that you and the institution of television touch is destroyed.
你就是电视的化身，戴安娜 You're television incarnate, Diana.
对苦难无动于衷 Indifferent to suffering,
对欢乐麻木无感 insensitive to joy.
生命中的一切都沦为平庸的瓦砾 All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality.
战争，谋杀，死亡 War, murder, death
对你来说跟几瓶啤酒没有两样 all the same to you as bottles of beer.
日常的生活只是一出腐烂的喜剧 And the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy.
你甚至把对时空的感受 You even shatter the sensations of time and space
切分成了几秒或几帧的回放 into split seconds and instant replays.
你是个疯子，戴安娜 You're madness, Diana.
疯到骨子里了 Virulent madness.
你所接触的一切都会随你而逝 And everything you touch dies with you.
但我不会 But not me.
只要我还能感受到欢乐 Not as long as I can feel pleasure
和痛苦 and pain
还有爱 and love.
所以这是一个大团圆的结局 And it's a happy ending.
迷途的丈夫认恢复了理智， Wayward husband comes to his senses
回到了妻子身边 returns to his wife
他已和她建立起天长地久的爱情 with whom he's established a long and sustaining love.
无情的年轻女子独守她冰冷的寂寞 Heartless young woman left alone in her arctic desolation.
音乐渐响 Music up with a swell.
片尾广告 Final commercial.
然后是下周节目预告 And here are a few scenes from next week's show.
进展怎样？ How did it go?
詹森先生对让霍华德·比厄停播的主意很不满意 Mr. Jensen was unhappy at the idea of taking Howard Beale off the air.
他认为霍华德·比厄在给美国民众传达极其重要的信息 Mr. Jensen thinks Howard Beale is bringing a very important message to the American people.
所以他希望霍华德·比厄留在台上，继续主持 So he wants Howard Beale on the air and he wants him kept on.
詹森先生觉得我们的想法太悲观了 Mr. Jensen feels we're too catastrophic in our thinking.
我辩解说电视业瞬息万变， I argued that television was a volatile industry
星期之间即可决出成败 in which success and failure were determined week by week.
詹森先生说他不喜欢剧烈波动的产业，并以一种阴险的口吻说 Mr. Jensen said he did not like volatile industries and suggested with a certain sinister silkiness
事业中的波动通常反映出管理水平差 that volatility in business usually reflected bad management.
他不在乎霍华德·比厄秀是第一还是第五十 He didn't really care if Howard Beale was the number-one show on television or the 50th.
他也不在乎《比厄秀》是否亏损 He didn't really care if the Beale Show lost money.
他想让霍华德·比厄留在台上 He wants Howard Beale on the air
并且想让他继续下去 and he wants him kept on.
要我说，他对此事的立场相当强硬 I would describe his position on this as inflexible.
这是要将我们置于何处，戴安娜？ Where does that put us, Diana?
这么做是把我们扔到粪坑里了，就是这样 That puts us in the shithouse, that's where that puts us.
-你想让我读一读这个？ -是的 -Do you want me to go through this? -Yes.
《比厄秀》的Q分值跌到了33 The Beale Show Q score's down to 33.
流失主要是在儿童、青少年和18-34岁的群体上 Most of this loss occurred in the child and teen and 18-34 categories
这些本来是我们的关键核心市场 which were our key core markets.
我和回执部仔细考虑后认为， And as the AR department's carefully considered judgment and mine
如果我们摆脱掉比厄，我们还能维持可观的观众占有率，20%，甚至30% that if we get rid of Beale, we should maintain a very respectable share in the high 20s, possibly 30,
和较好的Q值水平 with a comparable Q level.
节目的其他环节，“占卜师”西比尔、吉姆·韦宾、人民之声 The other segments of the show, Sybil the Soothsayer, Jim Webbing, the Vox Populi,
都已经发展出了自己的观众 have all developed their own audiences.
我们回执部的报告显示，是霍华德·比厄把节目搞砸了 Our AR reports show that it is Howard Beale that is the destructive force here.
我们讨论的是最少10个点的观众占有率差异 Minimally, we're talking about a 10-point differential in shares.
我想应该让乔伊为大家解释一下 I think Joe ought to spell it out for us. Joe?
28%的占有率意味着每分钟进账8万 A 28 share is 80,000-dollar minutes.
我想我们可以把广告时段整体出售 I think we can sell complete positions on the whole.
事实上，我们刚刚联系了圣诞节前夕的礼品销售商 As a matter of fact we're just getting into the pre-Christmas gift sellers
我跟你们说，代理商们会回来找我开价每千次曝光成本4美元 and I'll tell you the agencies are coming back to me with $4 CPM's.
CPM：cost per mille
如果照此计算， If that's any indication,
年收入损失将达到4千到4千5百万 we're talking 40-, 45 million-dollar loss in annual revenues.
想让子公司骂声一片吗？ You guys wanna hear the flak from the affiliates?
我们都知道了，赫伯 We know all about it, Herb.
你是说詹森先生在比厄一事上的立场很强硬？ And you would describe Mr. Jensen's position on Beale as inflexible?
顽固不化，不可动摇 Intractable and adamantine.
那么，我们该怎么处理这个狗娘养的比厄？ So, what do we do about this Beale son of a bitch?
我想我们得杀了他 I suppose we'll have to kill him.
你应该没什么意见吧，戴安娜？ I don't suppose you have any ideas on that, Diana?
你们觉得暗杀怎么样？ Well, what would you fellows say to an assassination?
我想我可以找一些毛泽东的人帮我们干掉比厄，并作成他们的一期节目 I think I can get the Mao Tse-Tung people to kill Beale for us as one of their shows.
实际上，可以作为本季的开场秀 In fact, it'll make a hell of a kickoff show for the season.
我们周三晚间的节目正受到其他电视网强烈的冲击 We're facing heavy opposition on the other networks for Wednesday nights
《毛泽东时间》用得上这个轰动性的开场 and The Mao Tse-Tung Hour could use a sensational opener.
可以就在演播室的摄像机前动手 It could be done right on camera in the studio.
我们应该请到大量的现场观众来看暗杀霍华德·比厄的开场秀 We ought to get a fantastic look-in audience for the assassination of Howard Beale as our opening show.
如果比厄死了， Well, if Beale dies,
我们对比厄还负有什么后续义务？ what would our continuing obligation to the Beale corporation be?
我知道我们与比厄的合同中包含一个因他死亡或丧失能力而触发的买断条款 I know our contract with Beale contains a buy-out clause triggered by his death or incapacity.
应该有个购买价格的计算公式 There must be a formula for the computation of the purchase price.
我记得应该是1975年的收入与1975年的基期的乘积 Off hand, I think it was based on a multiple 1975 earnings with the base period in 1975.
50%的薪水加上第一年收益的25% I think it was 50 percent of salary plus 25 percent of the first year's profit
乘以合同的未到期部分 multiplied by the unexpired portion of the contract.
我认为这个节目没有联合发售的价值，你说呢 戴安娜？ I don't think the show has any substantial syndication value would you say, Diana?
联合发售的价值很小 Syndication profits are minimal.
我们在谈论的是一项死罪 We're talking about a capital crime here.
电视网不能受到牵连 The network can't be implicated.
我希望你的办公室里没有任何隐藏的录音设备，弗兰克 I hope you don't have any hidden tape machines in this office, Frank.
好吧，议题是我们要不要杀霍华德·比厄？ Well, the issue is, shall we kill Howard Beale or not?
我想听听更多的意见 I'd like to hear some more opinions on that.
我不认为我们有别的选择，弗兰克 我们杀了这个狗娘养的吧 I don't see we have any option, Frank. Let's kill the son of a bitch.
女士们先生们 让我们喊出来！ Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it.

我们从不妥协，那你为什么要呢？ We never compromise, so why should you?
加拿大干拌机，为什么要妥协？ Canada Dry mixers, why compromise?
你看到我们居住地的另一面了吗？ Have you seen the other side of where you live?
-这是什么？ -这是麦片粥，对你有好处的 -What's this? -It's porridge, supposed to be good for you.

我们去找麦克吧 Let's get Mikey.

这一意外事件是在他的数百万观众面前发生的 The extraordinary incident occurred in full view of his millions of viewers.
刺客是一个名为“普世解放军”的恐怖组织成员， The assassins were members of a terrorist group called the Ecumenical Liberation Army,
其中两人已被逮捕 two of whom were apprehended.
该组织的领导人，人称“伟大的艾哈迈德可汗” 逃走了 The leader of the group, known as the Great Ahmed Kahn, escaped.
