纽约市 一八七零年代
哇 Well...
无法想象明戈特的家眷会穿这种衣服 I didn't think the Mingotts would have tried it on.
在剧院里如此炫耀地 Parading her at the opera like that,
还让她坐在梅·韦兰德身旁 sitting her next to May Welland.
真奇怪 It's all very odd.
但她的经历也挺奇怪 Well, she's had such an odd life.
他们会带她参加博弗特家的舞会吗 Will they even bring her to the Beauforts' ball, do you suppose?
如果那样 一定会引起轩然大波 If they do, the talk will be of little else.
晚上好 韦兰德太太 晚上好 梅 Good evening, Mrs. Welland. Good evening, May.
纽伦德 我的外甥女奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人 Newland. You know my niece Countess Olenska.
伯爵夫人 Countess.
希望你已经告诉过奥兰斯卡夫人了 I hope you've told Madame Olenska.
告诉她什么 What?
我们订婚的事 That we're engaged.
我要全世界都知道 I want everybody to know.
我要在舞会中宣布 Let me announce it this evening at the ball.
如果你能说服我妈的话 If you can persuade Mamma.
已决定的事何必提前 Why should we change what is already settled?
不过你可以告诉我表姐 But you can tell my cousin yourself.
她记得你 She remembers you.
我记得我们曾在一起玩 I remember we played together.
这一切勾起了我的回忆 How this brings it all back to me.
我记得大家儿时的模样 I remember everybody here the same way,
穿着可笑的灯笼裤和长裤 in knickerbockers and pantalettes.
你是个讨厌鬼 还在门后强吻过我 You were horrid. You kissed me once behind a door.
我喜欢的是你堂哥范迪 但他从不愿瞧我一眼 But it was your cousin Vandie, the one who never looked at me, I was in love with.
你已经离开很久了 Yes, you have been away a very long time.
太久了 Centuries and centuries.
久得令我感觉自己已死 而这里宛如天堂 So long, I'm sure I'm dead and buried, and this dear old place is heaven.
昔日的事情 It invariably happened,
每次都是千篇一律地发生 as everything happened in those days, in the same way.
一如往常 博弗特夫人在没有丈夫的陪伴下 As usual, Mrs. Julius Beaufort appeared,
独自前来 unaccompanied by her husband,
观赏 珠宝之歌 just before The Jewel Song.
又照例在第三幕之后起身离去 And again, as usual, rose at the end of the third act and disappeared.
全城都知道这表示半小时后 New York then knew that a half hour later,
一年一度的博弗特歌剧舞会便要开始 the Beauforts' Annual Opera Ball would begin.
马车早已恭候多时 Carriages waited at the kerb for the entire performance.
纽约人彼此都心照不宣 It was widely known in New York, but never acknowledged,
美国人急于离开娱乐 that Americans want to get away from amusement,
比到达还急切 even more quickly than they want to get to it.
纽约人家很少像博弗特家一样 The Beauforts' house was one of the few in New York
有个舞厅 that possessed a ballroom.
这样的房间 一年尘封三百六十四天 Such a room, shuttered in darkness 364 days of the year,
好似在 was felt to compensate
追悼博弗特家的任何坏事 for whatever was regrettable in the Beaufort past.
博弗特夫人瑞吉娜来自南卡世家 Regina Beaufort came from an old South Carolina family,
但其夫尤利斯 被认为是个英国后裔 but her husband Julius, who passed for an Englishman,
终日花天酒地 was known to have dissipated habits,
言谈尖酸刻薄 而且身世不详 a bitter tongue and mysterious antecedents.
攀附世族为他带来社会地位 His marriage assured him a social position,
但却未赢得尊敬 but not necessarily respect.
纽伦德·阿切尔并未像时下的年轻人一般 Newland Archer had not stopped at his club,
在俱乐部盘桓 as young men usually did,
他直接来到博弗特家豪宅参加舞会 but came directly to the Beauforts.
藉机宣布婚讯 He wanted the announcement of his engagement
转移众人对伯爵夫人的闲言闲语 to divert gossip away from the Countess,
并表示对梅及其亲族的支持 and show his most ardent support for May and her whole family.
博弗特家的豪宅规划别出心裁 The Beaufort house had been boldly planned.
宾客无须挤进长廊 Instead of squeezing through a narrow passage
可由宽敞的客厅 to get to the ballroom, one marched solemnly
直趋宴会厅 down a vista of enfiladed drawing rooms.
晚上好 Good evening.
但穿过绛红色的客厅时 But only by actually passing through the Crimson Drawing Room
你会看到 春神再临 could one see The Return of Spring,
布格瑞这幅充满争议的裸体画 the much-discussed nude by Bouguereau,
只有博弗特家敢公开展示 which Beaufort had had the audacity to hang in plain sight.
- 晚上好 - 晚上好 阿切尔先生 - Good evening. - Good evening, Mr. Archer.
阿切尔欣赏这种挑战传统的作风 Archer enjoyed such challenges to convention.
虽然他私下质疑墨守成规 He questioned conformity in private,
但在人前他却不遗余力的支持传统 but in public he upheld family and tradition.
这个世界危危地保持平衡 This was a world balanced so precariously
只要一声低语即可将它粉碎 that its harmony could be shattered by a whisper.
总之 身旁这班假道学之人 On the whole, Archer was amused
总令他觉得好玩 by the smooth hypocrisies of his peers.
甚至令他羡慕 He may even have envied them.
例如劳伦斯·莱弗茨 Lawrence Lefferts, for instance,
全纽约最讲究仪表的人 was New York's foremost authority on form.
他那套细分各种鞋的规矩 And his opinion on pumps versus patent-leather oxfords
被奉为圭臬 had never been disputed.
他四处猎艳 On matters of surreptitious romance,
手腕令人叹服 his skills went unquestioned.
西勒顿·杰克逊先生熟知各家谱系 Old Mr. Sillerton Jackson was as great an authority on family
其权威性可比劳伦斯·莱弗茨之精研仪表 as Lawrence Lefferts was on form.
奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人远嫁欧洲的惨痛经验 The mean and melancholy history of Countess Olenska's European marriage
他极欲一探究竟 was a buried treasure he hastened to excavate.
他就像个八卦活百科 He carried, like a calling card,
任何丑闻秘辛都一清二楚 an entire register of the scandals and mysteries
在表面太平的社交圈里 that had smouldered under the unruffled surface
闷烧了五十年的陈年往事 of society for the last 50 years.
尤利斯·博弗特的成功秘诀 在于他的处世之道 Julius Beaufort's secret was the way he carried things off.
他可以若无其事地 He could arrive casually at his own party,
光临自家舞会 as if he were another guest,
也可以大方地提早告辞 and might also leave early for a more modest,
溜进比较平民化的小公馆 but comforting address in the East 30s.
他在事业上勇往直前 Beaufort was intrepid in his business,
在私生活上却更加积极进取 but in his personal affairs absolutely audacious.
阿切尔的未婚妻对此 还有其他很多都一无所知 Archer's fiancée was innocent to all of these intrigues and of much else.
梅·韦兰德代表上流社会最美的一切 May Welland represented for Archer all that was best in their world,
也是阿切尔所崇尚的 她使他不脱离这些规范 all that he honoured, and she anchored him to it.
我依你的意思告诉大家了 You see, I've told all my friends, just as you've asked.
我等不及了 我可真不愿在舞会宣布 Yes, I couldn't wait. Only I wish it hadn't had to be at a ball.
即使人多 这里也只有我俩 But even here, we're alone together.
最糟的是我想吻你 但却不能 The worst of it is that I want to kiss you, and I can't.
纽伦德 Newland.
你告诉艾伦了吗 Did you tell Ellen as I asked you to?
我找不到机会说 No, I didn't have the chance after all.
她是我表姐 如果不先告诉她 She's my cousin, Newland. If others know before she does...
她离开久了 会很敏感的 It's just that she's been away for so long. She's rather sensitive.
我会说的 只是还没见到她 Of course I'll tell her, dearest, but I didn't see her yet.
她临时决定不来 She decided not to come at the last minute.
临时决定 At the last minute?
她怕她的衣服不够美 She was afraid her dress wasn't smart enough.
我们都说好看 We all thought it was so lovely,
但她执意回家 but she asked my aunt to take her home.
噢 原来如此 Oh, well.
很漂亮 很新潮 Very handsome. Very liberal.
想当年 In my time,
浮雕宝石镶珠就算阔了 a cameo set in pearls was thought to be sufficient.
戴上的手才最能炫耀戒指 But it's the hand that sets off the ring, isn't it, my dear, Mr. Archer?
新式镶法让宝石更加耀眼夺目 It's the new setting. It shows the stone beautifully.
但老古板人会嫌样式过于简单 But it looks a little bare to old-fashioned eyes.
不是指我吧 I hope you don't mean mine, my dear.
我喜欢新东西 I like all the novelties.
我请巴黎名家做过手部雕塑 My hands were modelled in Paris by the great Roche.
他该帮梅做一个 He should do May's.
让我瞧瞧 乖 Show me, child.
手都弄粗了 Her hand is so tempered.
那些时髦运动弄得关节粗大 It's these modern sports that spread the joints.
幸好皮肤依然白皙 But the skin is white.
婚礼何时举行 And when's the wedding to be?
就快了 如果您肯支持我 明戈特夫人 As soon as ever it can, if only you'll back me up, Mrs. Mingott.
我们该让小俩口好好认识彼此 We must give them time to get to know each other a little better, Mamma.
认识彼此 Know each other?
纽约世家子弟谁不认识谁 Everybody in New York has always known everybody.
有花堪折直须折 Don't wait till the bubble's off the wine.
四月完婚吧 Marry them before Lent.
说不定哪一天我会死于肺炎 而我要为他们办喜宴 I may catch pneumonia any winter now, and I want to give the wedding breakfast.
你真疼孩子 What a kind offer.
就算曼森·明戈特夫人不是梅的奶奶 Even if she had not been grandmother to May,
小俩口订婚后 Mrs. Manson Mingott would still have been the first
也一定会先拜见她 to receive the required betrothal visit.
她不仅是上流社会的大家长 She was not only the matriarch of this world,
简直可以呼风唤雨 she was nearly its dowager empress.
纽约名流大多与她有亲戚关系 Much of New York was already related to her,
其余不是婚后家属便是慕名之交 and she knew the remainder by marriage or by reputation.
当时建筑惯用黄石砌墙 Though brownstone was the norm,
而她的豪宅外墙 she lived magisterially within a large house
却大胆采用乳白色系石材 of controversial pale cream-coloured stone
座落于中央公园附近的密林中 in an inaccessible wilderness near the Central Park.
她老早就胖得 The burden of her flesh had long since made it impossible
爬不动楼梯 for her to go up and down stairs.
因此她又如常地大胆 So with characteristic independence,
搬到楼下生活 she had established herself on the ground floor of her house.
从会客室可以窥见她的卧房 From her sitting room, there was an unexpected vista of her bedroom.
那异国情调 Her visitors were startled and fascinated,
总令访客惊叹不已 by the foreignness of this arrangement,
总令人联想起法国小说中 which recalled scenes in French fiction.
养着情夫的贵妇 This was how women with lovers lived in the wicked old societies.
其实她若愿意 But if Mrs. Mingott had wanted a lover,
她大可养一个 the intrepid woman would have had him, too.
但她很满足于现状 For now she was content simply for life and passion
就让别人把生活要闻报告给她 to flow northward to her door
她只期待纽伦德·阿切尔 and to anticipate eagerly the union of Newland Archer
早日迎娶孙女梅 with her granddaughter, May.
如此一来 纽约的两大家族 In them, two of New York's best families
终能结为亲家 would finally and momentously be joined.
- 再见 妈妈 - 再见 - Bye, Mamma. - Good-bye.
艾伦 Ellen!
- 女士们 阿切尔 - 泰莎姨母 梅 - Ladies. Archer. - Aunt Tessa, May.
博弗特 你是罕有的大方 Beaufort, this is a rare favour.
不需要这样罕有 Unnecessarily rare, I'd say.
我遇见夫人 I met Countess Ellen in Madison Square,
她让我陪她回家 and she was good enough to let me walk home with her.
有了她 这屋子将会欢乐许多 This house will be merrier now that she's here.
- 谢谢 - 搬凳子来 博弗特 - Thank you. - Beaufort, pull up that tuffet.
这个吗 This one?
我要和你好好聊聊 I want a good gossip.
你知道我和梅订婚了 Of course, you already know about May and me.
她老怪我没告诉你 She scolded me for not telling you at the opera.
我早知道了 很开心 Of course I know, and I'm so glad.
这种喜事一定先得告诉亲人嘛 One doesn't tell such news first in a crowd.
小心点 Careful there.
别把戒指缠进袖子里 Don't let your ring catch on your sleeve.
- 再见 艾伦 - 再见 再见 - Good-bye, Ellen. - Good-bye. Good-bye.
再见 Good-bye.
有空来看我 Come and see me someday.
艾伦这么粗心 公然和尤利斯一起 It's a mistake for Ellen to be seen parading up
走在最多人的第五大道 Fifth Avenue with Julius Beaufort,
而且就在她回国第一天 at the crowded hour, the very day after her arrival.
他生性风流 His behaviour is always so flagrant.
连他的太太都知道他有个情妇叫安妮·瑞茵 Even his wife must know about Annie Ring.
西勒顿·杰克逊喜欢频频光顾阿切尔的家 Sillerton Jackson enjoyed his frequent visits
而并不在乎那一顿晚餐 to the Archer home more than the actual dining.
纽伦德·阿切尔的母亲和妹妹珍妮都怕生 Newland Archer's mother and his sister Janey were both shy women
不擅交际 却又爱听八卦 and shrank from society, but they like to be well-informed of its doings
所以全靠这位包打听先生 and doted on their bachelor friend.
博弗特不懂细节 Certain nuances escape Beaufort.
当然啦 博弗特是个大老粗 Necessarily. Beaufort is a vulgar man.
但他有生意手腕 Nevertheless, no business nuances escape him.
很多人托他管理财产 Most of New York trusts him with its affairs.
我祖父常告诫我妈 My grandfather Newland always used to say to Mother,
千万别让博弗特认识我家的女孩子 "Don't let that fellow Beaufort be introduced to the girls."
至少他有认识君子的机会 At least he's had the advantage of association with gentlemen.
阿切尔家和明戈特家 The Archers and the Mingotts were two of the sturdiest branches
是纽约最显赫的两大家族 of New York's tangled family tree.
明戈特家喜爱梅的传统娴静 Granny Mingott's family could embrace May's traditionalism
也能容忍艾伦的特立独行 and tolerate Ellen's unconventionality.
但阿切尔家完全是老派作风 But Archer's family held fast to the old ways.
他的母亲和妹妹凡事都得仰仗他 His mother and sister relied on him for every security.
他的母亲对梅的母亲说 He would always be, Mrs. Archer assured May's mother,
纽伦德是我们有力的臂膀 their "strong right hand."
我们新的亲家表姐去参加舞会了吗 And our new cousin, was she at the ball, too?
我欣赏明戈特家全为艾伦打气 邀她一同观赏歌剧 I appreciate the Mingotts wanting to support her, to have her at the opera.
也佩服他们家的向心力 I admire their esprit de corps.
但为何我儿子的喜讯 But why my son's engagement
要跟这女人的来去搅在一起 should be mixed up with this woman's comings and goings,
我真搞不懂 I don't see.
总之她没去就是了 Well, in any case, she was not at the ball.
算她识趣 At least she had that decency.
先生 Sir?
噢 不 Oh, no.
下午她是戴阔边帽还是软帽 I wonder if she wears a round hat or a bonnet in the afternoon.
她看戏穿的那衣服好普通 The dress she wore to the opera was so plain and flat.
还是不去比较识趣 I'm sure it was in better taste not to go to the ball.
这与识趣无关 妈妈 It wasn't a question of taste, Mother.
梅说她嫌衣服不够漂亮才没去 May said the Countess decided her dress wasn't smart enough.
可怜的艾伦 Poor Ellen.
别忘了她从小的教养有问题 We must always remember the eccentric bringing-up she had.
一个会在成年舞会上 What can you expect of a girl
穿黑缎子的女人还有什么指望 who was allowed to wear black satin at her coming out ball?
她嫁给伯爵后 It's odd she should've kept such an ugly name as Ellen
还是没改掉艾伦这个俗气的名字 when she married the Count.
换成是我 我就改成伊莲 I should have changed it to Elaine.
为什么 Why?
我也不知道 I don't know.
这样听起来 It sounds more
有波兰味 Polish.
那反而会太特别 It certainly sounds more conspicuous,
她不会要的 and that can hardly be what she wishes.
如果她选择特别 又有何不可 Why not? Why shouldn't she be conspicuous if she chooses?
她是嫁错人 但用不着隐姓埋名 She made an awful marriage. But should she hide her head as if it's her fault?
难道她就该见不得人 好像让自己丢了脸 Should she go slinking around as if she disgraced herself?
她遇人不淑就该遭人白眼 She's had an unhappy life. That doesn't make her an outcast.
我相信明戈特家的态度也跟他一样 I'm sure that's the line the Mingotts mean to take.
别以为我非跟他们一样不可 I don't have to wait for their cue if that's what you mean, sir.
听说她在找房子 I'm told she's looking for a house.
准备长住 She intends to live here.
听说她准备离婚 I hear she means to get a divorce.
希望如此 I hope she will.
这桩婚姻虽然使她饱受折磨 Understandably her marriage was intolerable.
但也有别的传言 But there are the rumours, too.
我听说了 伯爵的秘书 I've heard them. The secretary.
他协助她逃离夫家 He helped get her away from the husband.
听说伯爵限制她的行动 They say the Count kept her practically a prisoner.
那伯爵的生活方式是很特别 Certainly the Count had his own way of life.
你认识他 You knew him?
我在法国尼斯听过他的传闻 I heard of him at Nice.
一表人才 Handsome, they say, but...
但睫毛过多 Eyes with a lot of lashes.
他不是玩女人 就是玩瓷器 When he wasn't with women, he was collecting china.
对这两者都是一掷千金 Paying any price for both, I understand.
那么为何要怪罪于她 Then where's the blame?
任何人都该像那秘书一样 Anyone of us under the same circumstances would have helped the Countess,
帮助她 just as the secretary did.
一年后他仍帮着她 He was still helping her a year later then,
有人在瑞士洛桑看见他俩同居 because somebody met them living together at Lausanne.
同居 Living together?
有何不可 她有权过自己的生活 Well, why not? Who has the right to make her life over if she hasn't?
丈夫爱嫖 妻子就该守活寡吗 Why should we bury a woman alive if her husband prefers to live with whores?
没有人要她守寡啊 It's hardly a question of entombment.
她不是到这里来了吗 The Countess is here after all.
难道你赞成 Or do you believe
男女享有同等的自由吗 a woman should share the same freedoms as men?
没错 我相信 I suppose I do. Yes, I do.
她的观点显然跟你一样新潮 Well, apparently Count Olenski takes a similarly modern view.
我从未听说伯爵试法使她回头 I never heard of him lifting a finger to get his wife back.
三天后 发生了一件不可思议的事 Three days later, the unthinkable happened.
曼森·明戈特夫人发出请帖 Mrs. Manson Mingott sent out invitations
邀请大家前往餐叙 summoning everyone to a formal dinner.
如此隆重的晚宴丝毫马虎不得 Such an occasion demanded the most careful consideration.
餐具全是上上之选 It required the appropriated plate.
桌旁须多添三名仆役 It called for three extra footmen,
每道菜都有两盘外 two dishes for each course
还要柠檬甜酒 and a Roman punch in the middle.
请帖上写着 The dinner, New York read on the invitation,
为欢迎奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人而设宴 was "to meet the Countess Olenska."
纽约名门全都婉谢 And New York declined.
遗憾 恕难奉陪 "Regret unable to accept."
连我们自家人也不愿赏脸 And from some of our own family.
根本没有人为她着想 就这样给她难堪 No one cares enough even to conceal their feelings about the Countess.
真是情何以堪 This is a disgrace.
他们活在一个充满寓意的世界里 They all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world.
从不具体表达真实的感受 The real thing was never said or done or even thought,
只是以约定俗成的寓意表示 but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs.
纽伦德懂得这些寓意 Archer knew these signs.
他们根本懒得掩饰 They were not subtle and were not meant to be.
这不仅是代表不理不睬 They were more than a simple snubbing.
根本就是对她封杀 They were an eradication.
有个地方 他可以去陈情 There was a single court of appeal.
他要请冯·德·莱登老爷子主持公道 He would plead their case before the van der Luydens.
你认为此事是有人在暗中搞鬼 And all this, you think, is due to some intentional interference by...
我敢肯定是拉瑞·莱弗茨 Larry Lefferts. Yes, sir, I'm certain of it.
冯·德·莱登夫妇德高望重 The van der Luydens dwelled above the city's families
地位崇高得近乎神圣 in a kind of super-terrestrial twilight.
老爷子处事自有公断 Archer appealed to their exquisitely refined sense of tribal order.
纽伦德也直言无讳 And he spoke plainly.
每当莱弗茨太太 Whenever poor Gertrude Lefferts begins
怀疑先生出轨时 to suspect her husband of something,
他就收敛一阵子来转移注意力 Larry starts making some great diversionary fuss to show how moral he is.
我最不喜欢这事的原则 Well, it's the principle that I dislike.
如果一家名门的子弟 I mean to say, if a member of a well-known family
获得另一家名门的支持 is backed by that family,
整件事应该就不必争议了 it should be considered final.
大家冷落伯爵夫人一事 我相信应该来问问你们 We all felt this slight on the Countess should not pass without our consulting you.
我们要为侄儿圣·奥斯特利公爵洗尘 So, we are giving a little dinner for our cousin, the Duke of St Austrey,
他搭的俄罗号 下周会到 who arrives next week on the Russia.
相信内人路易莎会和我一样开心 I'm sure Louisa will be as glad as I am,
如果奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人前来参加晚宴 if Countess Olenska will let us include her among our guests.
当晚的场面极为隆重 The occasion was a solemn one,
但伯爵夫人姗姗来迟 but the Countess Olenska arrived rather late,
而她对自己的粗心仍毫不自觉 signalling a carelessness of which she was entirely unaware.
她大摇大摆 毫无愧容 She entered without haste or embarrassment.
走进坐满了纽约达官贵人的客厅 The drawing room in which New York's most chosen company
可谓是冠盖云集 was somewhat awfully assembled.
奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人 Countess Olenska.
晚上好 Good evening.
- 欢迎光临 - 晚上好 - We're delighted you're here. - Good evening.
圣·奥斯特利公爵 这是奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人 The Duke of St Austrey, may I present Countess Olenska.
他们动用了特瓦纳·乔治二世时的餐具 The Trevenna George II plate was out.
还有来自东印度公司的冯·德·莱登·罗斯托夫细瓷 So was the van der Luyden Lowestoft from the East India Company.
以及达哥纳王冠德比瓷器 And the Dagonet Crown Derby.
冯·德·莱登夫妇的这顿晚宴非同小可 Dining with the van der Luydens was at best no light matter.
能跟这位公爵亲戚共进晚餐 Dining there with a duke who was their cousin
简直犹如宗教仪式般隆重 was almost a religious solemnity.
冯·德·莱登家执行的教训令人慑服 When the van der Luydens chose, they knew how to give a lesson.
失陪一下 Excuse me.
在纽约上流社会的社交场合中 It was not the custom in New York drawing rooms
女士起身离开一名男士 for a lady to get up and walk away from one gentleman
去跟另一名男士交谈 于礼不合 in order to seek the company of another,
但伯爵夫人没有守这规则 but the Countess did not observe this rule.
我想让你跟我谈谈梅 I want you to talk to me about May.
你和公爵是旧识 You knew the Duke before?
在尼斯 每年冬天都会见到他 From Nice. We used to see him every winter.
他很喜欢赌博 常来我家玩大钱 He's very fond of gambling, and he used to come to our house a great deal.
他每晚都穿着同一件西服 He likes to wear the same suit every evening.
他认为它会带来好运 He thinks it brings him luck.
我觉得他是世上最无趣的人 I think he's the dullest man I ever met.
但他在这儿却被捧上天了 But he seems to be admired here.
知道我最心仪纽约的哪一点吗 May I tell you what most interests me about New York?
不盲目遵循别人的传统 Not all the blind obeying of tradition, somebody else's tradition.
把美国搞成外国的翻版就太可惜了 It seems stupid to have discovered America only to make it a copy of another country.
哥伦布会如此大费周章 Do you suppose Christopher Columbus would have taken all that trouble
只为和莱弗茨夫妇一同欣赏歌剧吗 just to go to the opera with Larry Lefferts?
如果哥伦布知道拉瑞·莱弗茨在这儿 Well, I think if he'd suspected that Lefferts were here,
他就不会出航了 the Santa Maria might never have left port.
梅的看法也和你一样吗 And May, does she share these views?
就算一样 她也不会说出口 If she does, she'd never say so.
你深爱着她吗 Are you very much in love with her?
至死不渝 As much as a man can be.
这份爱可有极限 Do you think there's a limit?
就算有 我也还没触碰到 If there is, I haven't found it.
如此说来 这是真爱 It's really and truly a romance then,
而不是恭奉父母之命 not in the least arranged.
美国人的婚姻是不靠媒妁之言的 Have you forgotten? In our country we don't allow our marriages to be arranged.
对 我忘了 抱歉 Yes, I forgot. I'm sorry.
我总是犯这样的错误 I sometimes make these mistakes.
我总忘了这里样样都好 I don't always remember that everything here is good.
而那儿一无是处 That was bad where I came from.
抱歉 I'm so sorry.
不用 No.
这里全都是你的朋友 But you know you are among friends here.
我知道 这就是我回来的原因 Yes, I know. That's why I came home.
晚上好 路易莎 Good evening, Louisa.
容我介绍梅·韦兰德 May I present May Welland.
你一定想去陪梅 You'll want to be with May.
认识你十分荣幸 I'm so pleased to meet you.
她身旁已围满了我的情敌 She's already surrounded. I have so many rivals.
是啊 Yes.
那就再陪我多坐一会儿吧 Then stay with me a little longer.
好 Yes.
达哥纳先生 容我介绍奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人 Mr. Urban Dagonet, may I present the Countess Olenska.
幸会 How do you do, my dear?
幸会 How do you do?
明天下午五点 我等你 Tomorrow then, after 5:00 I'll expect you.
明天见 Tomorrow.
失陪一下 Excuse me.
你人真好 It was good of you to devote yourself to Madame Olenska
肯这样为奥兰斯卡夫人出力 so unselfishly, dear Newland.
是我请亨利去救你的 I told Henry he really must rescue you.
我从未见过梅如此美丽 I think I've never seen May looking lovelier.
公爵认她是这里最出色的女子 The Duke thinks her the handsomest woman in the room.
这是我的荣幸 It was my pleasure.
阿切尔先生 Mr. Archer.
你对寒舍有何感觉 So how do you like this odd little house?
我自以为犹如天堂 To me, it's like heaven.
- 你布置得很雅致 - 是啊 - You've arranged it delightfully. - Yes.
我设法带了些东西回来 Some of the things I managed to bring with me.
婚变后的残骸 Little pieces of wreckage.
至少不像冯·德·莱登家那么阴森 At least it's less gloomy than the van der Luydens',
在这里独处也不会太煎熬 and not so difficult to be alone.
尽管很多人认为冯·德·莱登家很阴森 I am sure it's often thought the van der Luydens' is gloomy,
但我倒是第一次亲耳听见 though I've never heard it said before.
你真的喜欢独处吗 But tell me, do you really like to be alone?
有朋友作伴就不觉的寂寞 As long as my friends keep me from being lonely.
你已经决定喜欢那儿 I see you've already chosen your corner.
是的 Yes.
- 请坐 - 谢谢 - Please, sit. - Thank you.
这是我最喜欢的时刻 This is the hour I like best.
你呢 Don't you?
我还以你早已将时间遗忘 I was afraid you'd forgotten the hour.
大概博弗特有时也很有趣吧 I am sure Beaufort can be very intriguing.
他带我看了几处房子 大家都劝我一定要搬 He took me to see some houses. I'm told I must move.
尽管这里是高级住宅区 Even though this street seems perfectly respectable.
- 没错 但不够时髦 - 时髦 - Yes, but it's not fashionable. - Fashionable?
时髦与否真的那么重要吗 Is fashion such a serious consideration?
对那些没有更重要的事可操心的人而言 Among people who have nothing more serious to consider.
或许是我太独立了吧 Perhaps I've been too independent.
我只求有人给我关爱和安全感 All I really want is to feel cared for and safe.
冯·德·莱登夫妇可说是全力出动了 Thank you. The van der Luydens do nothing by halves.
昨晚纽约名流都来捧你的场 All New York laid itself out for you last night.
他们人真好 我玩得很开心 It was so kind. Such a nice party.
奶油还是柠檬 Cream or lemon?
柠檬 谢谢 Lemon, please.
冯·德·莱登家族在社会上最有影响力 The van der Luydens are the most powerful influence in New York society.
他们因路易莎的健康不佳而绝少宴客 They very seldom receive because of Cousin Louisa's health.
或许就是这个理由吧 Perhaps that's the reason then.
谢谢 理由 Thank you. "The reason"?
愈神秘愈有影响力 For their influence. They make themselves so rare.
但你一定得告诉我 But, of course, you must tell me.
不 你来告诉我 No, it's you telling me.
- 谢谢 - 我们可以互相帮助 - Thank you. - Then we can both help each other.
可是我更需要帮忙 But I need help so much more.
已经有许多人告诉你该怎么做了 There are so many people all ready to tell you what to do.
我独居 恐怕会使许多人不以为然 I think they're all a little angry with me for setting up for myself.
至少你的家人会指点你 Still your family can advise you, show you the way.
纽约真的是个大迷宫吗 Is New York such a labyrinth?
我以为条条道路都如第五大道一般宽敞笔直 I thought it was all straight up and down, like Fifth Avenue.
每条街都有编号 All the cross streets numbered,
每件东西都贴有大标签 and big, honest labels on everything.
每件东西都有标签 除了人以外 Everything is labelled, but everybody is not.
我需要你的提醒 Then I must count on you for warnings, too.
年长的女士都喜欢你 他们乐意伸出援手 All the older women like and admire you. They want to help.
我知道 只要她们没听见什么传闻 I know. I know, as long as they don't hear anything unpleasant.
难道这里没人肯听实话 Does no one here want to know the truth, Mr. Archer?
真正的寂寞是住在这种好人之中 The real loneliness is living among all these kind people
他们要你戴上假面具 who only ask you to pretend.
不 千万别这么做 No, no, you mustn't.
奥兰斯卡夫人 Madame Olenska.
艾伦 Ellen.
难道这里的人也都不哭吗 Does no one cry here either?
大概是没有哭的必要吧 I suppose there's no need to.
阿切尔先生 晚上好 Mr. Archer, good evening.
今早没见到你 We didn't see you this morning
我们不知是否要送花给韦兰德小姐 and we weren't sure whether to send Miss Welland the usual...
以后每天一束百合 Lilies-of-the-valley. Yes, I think we better make that a standing order.
好的 先生 Very good, sir.
还有那些黄玫瑰 我给你另一个地址 And those yellow roses. I'll give you another address.
好的 Very good.
奥兰斯卡夫人 纽伦德·阿切尔先生
乔治 George!
阿切尔先生 两束花分送两处 Mr. Archer, two separate orders.
马上送出吗 They'll go at once?
马上 先生 At once, sir.
能闻着百合香醒来 It's wonderful to wake every morning
感觉真好 with lilies-of-the-valley in my room.
就像你在身旁 It's like being with you.
昨天花送迟了 我忘了时间 They came late yesterday, I know. Somehow the time got away from me.
但你总会记起来的 But still you always remember.
我也送了玫瑰给艾伦 可以吗 I sent some roses to your Cousin Ellen, too. Was that right?
当然可以 Very right.
但今天午餐时她没提起 She didn't mention it at lunch today though.
她说博弗特先生送给她漂亮的兰花 She said she got some wonderful orchids from Mr. Beaufort,
亨利·冯·德莱登也送她一篮康乃馨 and a whole hamper of carnations from Cousin Henry van der Luyden.
她好开心 She was so very delighted.
难道欧洲人都不送花吗 Don't people send flowers in Europe?
我知道你觉得订婚期太长 I know you do consider it a long time.
没错 Very long.
可是奇弗斯夫妇订婚一年半 But the Chiverses were engaged for a year and a half.
莱弗茨夫妇更长达两年 Larry Lefferts and Gertrude were engaged for two.
妈妈希望我们能依照传统 I'm sure Mamma expects something customary.
你从小就有主见 Ever since you were little, your parents let you have your way.
你也快二十二岁了 何妨跟你母亲直说 You're almost 22. Just tell your mother what you want.
我不能拒绝她对我的最后要求 I couldn't refuse her the very last thing she'd ask of me as a little girl.
难道我们就不能任性一点吗 Can't we just strike out for ourselves, May?
难道我们应该私奔 Shall we elope?
如果你愿意 有何不可 Well, if you would, why not?
你是真心爱我 我好开心 You do love me, Newland. I'm so happy.
你可以更快乐的 Well, why not be happier?
无法更快乐了 亲爱的 I couldn't be happier, dearest.
我拿戒指给艾伦看 Did I tell you I showed Ellen the ring?
她说没见过比这更漂亮的 She thought it was the most beautiful setting she ever saw.
连巴黎的款式也比不上 She said there was nothing like it in the Rue de la Paix.
我好爱你 纽伦德 I do love you, Newland.
你做的每件事都好特别 Everything you do is so special.
这案子很棘手 我得借重你的长才 I want to call on your legal skills for a rather delicate matter.
奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人想离婚 Countess Olenska wants to sue her husband for divorce.
有人说她想再婚 尽管她矢口否认 It's been suggested she means to marry again, although she denies it.
请恕我因订婚之故 Because of... I beg your pardon, sir, but because of my engagement,
你可否另请高明 perhaps one of the other members of the firm could consider this matter.
正因为你与她将有亲属关系 But precisely because of your prospective alliance,
她的家人也指明要你 and considering that several members of the family have already asked for you,
希望你能考虑接下 I'd like you to consider the case.
这是家务事 自家人出面协调比较妥当 It's a family matter. Perhaps it's best settled by the family.
他们的态度相当明确 Their position is clear.
他们坚决反对离婚 They're entirely and rightly against a divorce.
但奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人坚持要请教律师 But Countess Olenska still insists on a legal opinion.
但说真格的 何必要离婚 But really, what's the use of a divorce?
她在美国 他在英国 She's here. He's there.
中间隔着大西洋 The whole Atlantic's between them.
伯爵最近很慷慨 As things go, Olenski's acted generously.
他主动归还一部分钱 He's already returned some of the money without being asked.
但也不会再多给了 She'll never get a dollar more than that.
当然啦 她并不在乎钱 Although I understand she attaches no importance to the money.
所以最好还是依她家人的意愿 Considering all that, the wisest thing really, is to do as the family say.
就让事情这样子吧 Just let well enough alone.
我认为此事应由她决定 I think that's for her to decide.
你是否仔细想过 Have you considered the consequences
离婚会有什么影响吗 if the Countess decides for divorce?
对她的影响吗 The consequences for the Countess?
对每个人的影响 For everyone.
伯爵对她只是做出大概的控诉 I don't think the Count's accusations amount to anything more than vague charges.
但总会惹来闲言闲语 It will make for some talk.
我听说过伯爵夫人和那秘书 Well, I have heard talk about the Countess and the secretary.
没看见文件前就听说了 I heard it even before I read the legal papers.
这终究不是一件令人舒服的事 It's certain to be unpleasant.
不令人舒服 Unpleasant?
离婚总是令人不舒服吧 Divorce is always unpleasant. Don't you agree?
当然 Naturally.
那么我就拜托你了 Then I can count on you?
她全家都拜托你了 The family can count on you.
你会劝她打消此意吧 You will use your influence against a divorce?
我先和她谈谈再说吧 I can't promise that, not until I've talked to the Countess.
我真搞不懂你 I don't understand you, Mr. Archer.
为何不让你的亲家 You want to marry into a family
免掉离婚官司呢 with a scandalous divorce suit hanging over it?
这跟我的婚约是两回事 I don't think that has anything to do with the case.
可否派人将这个送给伯爵夫人 Can someone take this for me to the Countess, please?
重要
我必须见你
谢谢 Thank you.
敢不去你就死定了 You refuse such an invitation on threat of death.
真有这么可怕 Is it so bad?
不然就等着大家慢慢折磨你吧 Not if you have a taste for slow agony.
我禁不起折磨的 That's something I've neglected to cultivate.
在冯·德·莱登家住三天 Three days at Skuytercliff with the van der Luydens.
带着皮裘大衣和热水瓶去吧 I think you better take your fur and a hot water bottle.
那房里有那么冷吗 Is the house that cold?
不 但路易莎令人不寒而栗 No, but Louisa is.
阿切尔先生 Mr. Archer.
星期天到狄摩尼餐厅来吧 Join me at Delmonico's on Sunday instead.
我请你吃生蠔 I'm having a nice oyster supper in your honour.
包厢 风雅人士作陪 Private room, congenial company. Artists and so on.
真令人心动 我回来后还没见过艺术家 That's very tempting. I haven't met a single artist since I've been here.
我可以介绍一些画家给你认识 I know one or two painters I could bring to see you if you'd allow me.
画家 纽约还有画家吗 Painters? Are there any painters in New York?
谢谢 但我想认识的是歌星 Thank you, but I was really thinking of singers,
演员 和音乐家等演艺人员 actors, musicians, dramatic artists.
我夫家常有许多音乐家来 There were always so many at my husband's house.
明天再告诉你决定吧 May I write tomorrow and let you know?
现在太晚了 It's too late to decide this evening.
- 现在叫晚吗 - 是的 - Is this late? - Yes.
因为我还有要事和阿切尔先生谈 Because I still have to talk business with Mr. Archer.
当然啦 纽伦德 Of course, Newland,
如果你能让她改变心意 if you can persuade the Countess to change her mind about Sunday,
欢迎你来作陪 you can join us, too.
你认识画家 经常来往吗 You know painters then? You live in their milieu?
那倒没有 Not exactly.
你喜欢画作 But you care about such things?
当然 我在欧洲从不错过画展 Immensely. When I'm in Paris or London, I never miss an exhibition.
我很留意画坛动态 I try to keep up.
以前我也热爱绘画 I used to care immensely, too.
我的生活总充满了艺术气息 My life was full of such things,
但我要忘掉过去 完全美国化 but now I want to cast off all my old life to become a complete American
就像其他人一样 and try to be like everybody else.
你永远都不会和其他人一样 I don't think you'll ever quite be like everybody else.
别这么说 Don't say that to me, please.
我想忘掉过去 I just want to put all the old things behind me.
我知道 I know.
莱特布赖尔先生告诉过我 Mr. Letterblair told me.
莱特布赖尔先生 Mr. Letterblair?
对 是他要我来的 我们在同一家事务所 Yes, I've come because he asked me to. I'm in the firm.
这么说是你负责我的案子 You mean it'll be you who'll manage everything for me?
我可以和你谈 那太好了 I can talk to you. That's so much easier.
对 我就是为此而来的 Yes, I'm here to talk about it.
所有文件我都看过了 I've read all the legal papers.
还有伯爵寄来的信件 And the letter from the Count.
写得很恶毒 It was vile.
可是如果决定打官司 But if he chooses to fight the case,
他可能说一些 呃 he can say things that might be...
对你很不利的话 That might be disagreeable to you.
并闹得满城风雨 And say them publicly,
那些话是毁灭性的 即使 so that they could be damaging even if...
即使什么 If?
即使毫无根据 Even if they were unfounded.
我在这儿 他怎么中伤我 What harm could accusations like that do me here?
此地的流言杀伤力极强 Perhaps more harm than anywhere else.
尽管法律允许离婚 但民情不容 Our legislation favours divorce, but our social customs don't.
没有例外吗 Never?
尤其是如果女方 Well, not if the woman
起码表面上 无论怎样轻微也好 has appearances in the least degree against her,
以任何非传统方法也好 has exposed herself by any unconventional behaviour,
有难堪的绯闻 to offensive insinuations and...
我的家人也是这么说的 Yes, so my family tell me.
我们的家人 你将成为我的表妹夫 Our family. You'll be my cousin soon.
你也同意他们的说法 And you agree with them?
什么事让你冒险离婚 What could you possibly gain that would make up for the scandal?
自由 My freedom.
你不是已经自由了吗 But aren't you free already?
职责所在 我得让你知道 It's my business to help you see these things just the way
那些关爱你的人对离婚的看法 the people who are fondest of you see them, all your friends and relations.
如果我没告诉你 If I didn't show you honestly how they judge such matters,
就是没尽到责任 it wouldn't be fair of me, would it?
没错 No, it wouldn't be fair.
好吧 Very well. I'll...
我依你就是了 Do as you wish.
我 I...
我真的很想帮你 I do want to help you.
你的确帮了我 You do help me.
晚安 表妹夫 Good night, cousin.
求求你 别哭得那么凄惨 For mercy's sake, don't cry so bitterly.
忘掉我所做的一切 Forget what I've done.
除非你答应我 On one condition.
不管是什么条件我都答应 I accept it, whatever it may be.
别再说你爱我 Never speak a word of love to me again!
永远不会 Never!
我发誓 On my honour.
上天保佑你 Heaven bless you.
永别了 Farewell.
精彩极了 It's fascinating.
每年这戏中一幕 Every season, the same play, the same scene,
总是令观众感动不已 the same effect on the audience.
很精彩吧 纽伦德 Remarkable, isn't it, Newland?
比我在伦敦看的还精彩 I'm enjoying it even more than the London production.
你出国还看呀 You see this play even when you travel?
- 我出国就是为了不想看这戏 - 那天是晚宴 - I travel to get away from it. - So was it a dinner?
斯特拉瑟斯太太作东 It was a reception at Mrs. Struthers'
虽订在礼拜天 given on the Lord's Day but with champagne
但不仅有香槟和在桌上歌唱 and singing from the table tops.
听说还有舞会 People say there was dancing.
这么说是法国式的礼拜天 It was a real French Sunday then?
堕落的早期可真令人兴奋 Well, dissipation can be wonderfully energising in the early stages...
你认为她的情人明天会送黄玫瑰吗 Do you think her lover will send her a box of yellow roses tomorrow morning?
我 I...
我也在想这个问题 I was thinking about that, too.
告别的那一幕 The farewell scene.
我知道 Yes, I know.
我也深受感动 It touches me as well.
散场时我总是尽快离去 以免那一幕的情景挥之不去 I usually leave the theatre after that scene to take the picture away with me.
我收到梅从圣奥斯汀捎来的信 I had a letter from May from St Augustine.
他们总是南下避寒 They always spend the winter there,
因为她母亲有支气管炎 on account of her mother's bronchitis.
梅不在时你都做些什么 And what do you do while May is away?
工作 I do my work.
我要告诉你 你的建议很对 I do want you to know what you advised me was right.
世事总令人饱受煎熬 我很感激你 Things can be so difficult sometimes, and I'm so grateful.
隔天 纽伦德·阿切尔为了寻找黄玫瑰 The next day Newland Archer searched the city in vain
走遍全纽约却依然没找到 for yellow roses.
他写了一封信给奥兰斯卡夫人 From his office, he sent a note to Madame Olenska
表示当天想去看她 asking to call that afternoon,
并要信差等她的答覆 and requesting reply by messenger.
但她却毫无表示 次日亦然 There was no reply that day or the next.
当黄玫瑰再度出现时 纽伦德却匆匆走过 And when yellow roses were again available, Archer passed them by.
第三天他才接到她的信 It was only on the third day that he heard from her by post,
是从冯·德·莱登的别墅寄出的 from the van der Luydens' country home.
纽伦德 那天在剧院看见你后 我便赶紧逃离 "Newland, I ran away the day after I saw you at the play,
好心的路登夫妇收留了我 "and these kind friends have taken me in.
我想静静地思考 "I wanted to be quiet and think things over.
这里很安全 真希望你也在这里 "I feel so safe here. I wish that you were with us.
谨此 "Yours sincerely."
莱弗茨邀他去哈德逊河度周末 He had received an invitation from the Lefferts for a weekend on the Hudson,
他连忙答应 and he hoped it was not too late to reply.
因为那儿离冯·德·莱登的别墅不远 Their house was not far from the van der Luydens'.
我来了解你到底在逃避什么 I came to see what you were running away from.
我知道你会来的 I knew you'd come.
那表示你想见我 That shows you wanted me to.
梅在信上说要我照顾你 Cousin May wrote. She asked you to take care of me.
- 其实不用她吩咐 - 为什么 - I didn't need to be asked. - Why?
我就这么孤苦无依吗 Does that mean I'm so helpless and defenceless?
还是这儿的女人都太有福气 什么都不缺 Or that women here are so blessed, they never feel need?
缺什么 What sort of need?
噢 拜托 别考我 Ohh. Please don't ask me.
我们说的不是同一门语言 I don't speak your language.
亨利把祖传老宅借给我住 我带你去看 Henry left the old Patroon house open for me. I want you to see it.
信中的你并不开心 When you wrote me, you were unhappy.
对 但有你在身旁就不同了 Yes, but I can't feel unhappy when you're here.
我不能久留 I shan't be here long.
我知道 I know.
如果你真的希望我来 Ellen, if you really wanted me to come,
如果真要我的帮助 if I'm really to help you,
你必须老实说你究竟在躲什么 you must tell me what you're running from.
你是在躲避他吗 Is he what you were running from?
还是在等他 Or what you expected?
我不知道他也来了 I didn't know he was here.
你好 博弗特 这边请 Hello, Beaufort. This way.
奥兰斯卡夫人正在等你 Madame Olenska was expecting you.
你好 Hello.
你让我找得好苦 Well, you've certainly led me on a bit of a chase.
我大老远来 只想告诉你 房子找到了 All this way just to tell you I'd found the perfect little house for you.
还没公开出售 要买就得趁现在 It's not on the market yet, so you must take it at once.
阿切尔 你也来隐居吗 Well, Archer, rusticating?
那一夜 他订的书从伦敦寄来 That night he did not take the customary comfort
却无法令他像往日一般开怀 in his monthly shipment of books from London.
单调的日子使他倍感无趣 The taste of the usual was like cinders in his mouth.
有时他甚至觉得 And there were moments when he felt
他快被往后的日子活埋 as if he were being buried alive under his future.
纽伦德 明天晚点来 我得向你解释 "Newland, come late tomorrow. I must explain to you.
艾伦 "Ellen."
发生了什么事吗 Newland. Has anything happened?
对 我非见你不可 Yes. I found I had to see you.
- 怎么啦 - 没什么 - What is it? - Nothing.
你每天做些什么事 So tell me what you do all day?
有些人从费城和巴尔的摩而来 Well, there are a few very pleasant people
他们在旅馆举行野宴 from Philadelphia and Baltimore who are picnicking at the inn,
莫家弄了个草地网球场 and the Merrys are setting up a lawn tennis court,
可是没有人会打 but nobody here's really heard of the game yet.
只有我和凯特带了球拍 I have my racket, of course, and so does Kate Merry,
可她有严重的支气管炎 but she's had this terrible case of bronchitis.
她还没完全康复 She's still not quite got over it yet, so...
我来这里 But I thought... I came here because I thought
就是希望你能避开那些社交 I could persuade you to break away from all that,
尽快跟我结婚 to advance our engagement.
你知道我有多么想娶你吗 Don't you understand how much I want to marry you?
我们何必再浪费一年呢 Why should we dream away another year?
我就是不明白 I'm not sure I do understand, Newland.
你对我是否变了心 Is it because you're not certain of feeling the same way about me?
你在胡说些什么 What on earth do you mean?
是不是有第三者 Is there someone else?
第三者 Someone else?
你我之间 Between you and me?
我们把话谈开来吧 Let's talk frankly, Newland.
我觉得你变了 特别是在我们订婚之后 I've felt a difference in you, especially since our engagement.
什么 Since our engagement?
如果没有 谈谈也无妨 If it's untrue, then it won't hurt to talk about it.
如果有 我们更需要谈谈 And if it is true, then why shouldn't we talk about it now?
或许你找错了对象 I mean, you might have made a mistake.
如果你不是我的理想对象 If I'd made some sort of a mistake, would I be down here,
我会催你尽快与我结婚吗 asking you to hurry our marriage?
或许吧 I don't know. You might.
使自己没有选择的余地 It would be one way to settle the question.
两年前在新港 In Newport, two years ago,
我们订婚之前 before we were promised,
大家都说你另有所爱 everyone said there was someone else for you.
我看过你们在舞会时 I even saw you with her once,
一起坐在阳台上 sitting together on a veranda at a dance.
她进门时神情落寞 When she came into the house, her face looked so sad.
我真为她难过 订婚之后 I felt sorry for her, and even after, when we were engaged,
我仍忘不掉她的神情 I could still see how she looked and...
你就是在担心这个 Is that... Is that all you've been concerned about?
那早就过去了 It's long passed.
那么是其他事吗 Then is there something else?
没有 当然没有 No. Of course not.
无论如何 纽伦德 Whatever it may have been, Newland,
我不能将快乐建筑在别人的痛苦上 I can't have my happiness made out of a wrong to somebody else.
假如你对别人许下誓言 If promises were made, or if you feel in some way pledged to this person,
即使对方得因此而离婚 even if it means her getting a divorce,
也别为我而舍弃她 then, Newland, don't give her up because of me.
这根本就是子虚乌有 There are no pledges.
我没对别人许下誓言 There are no promises that matter.
我一直想对你说 That's all I've been trying to say.
我们之间没有第三者 There is no one between us. There is nothing between us, May.
所以我才催你 Which is precisely my argument for getting married.
尽快与我结婚 Quickly.
他觉得她又变回了纯真的小女孩 He could feel her dropping back to inexpressive girlishness.
她总算释怀了 Her conscience had been eased of its burden.
他心想 真美妙 如此的深情 It was wonderful, he thought, how such depths of feeling
却和如此缺乏想象力共聚一身 could coexist with such an absence of imagination.
- 成功了吗 - 没有 - And did you succeed? - No.
还是希望您能帮我在四月完婚 No, I'd still like to be married in April, with your help.
你总算见识了明戈特家的厉害 Now you're seeing the Mingott way.
他们果真如此顽固不灵 Is this really so difficult?
这个家族一向如此 The entire family is difficult.
个个是老古板 Not one of them wants to be different.
不然就像艾伦的父母一样 When they are different, they end up like Ellen's parents.
简直是欧陆的游牧民族 Nomads, continental wanderers.
带着艾伦到处去 Dragging Ellen about,
为她花了大钱受教育 但总是断断续续 lavishing on her an expensive, but incoherent education.
在所有孙辈中 Out of all of them, I don't believe there's one
就属艾伦最像我了 that takes after me but my little Ellen.
你很有眼光 You've got a quick eye.
为何没娶她 Why in the world didn't you marry her?
她不在国内 我无缘娶她 Well, for one thing, she wasn't there to be married.
说得也是 No, to be sure.
现在还是娶不成 伯爵 你知道 And she's still not. The Count, you know.
写信给莱特布赖尔先生 He's written to Mr. Letterblair.
要她回心转意 条件随她开 He wants her back, on her own terms.
伯爵倒没为自己强辩 The Count doesn't defend himself, I will say that.
如果她执意不回去 那将会是她的损失 And Ellen will be losing a great deal if she stayed here.
那里有她熟悉的生活 There's her old life,
尼斯的花园 珠宝 音乐和清谈 gardens at Nice, jewels, of course, music and conversation.
她说她在欧洲默默无闻 She says she goes unnoticed in Europe,
但我知道 光是她的肖像画就有九幅 but I know her portrait's been painted nine times.
此外 还有一个有心赔罪的丈夫 All this, and the remorse of a guilty husband.
我宁可她死 I'd rather see her dead.
真的吗 Would you really?
你必须记得婚姻就是婚姻 艾伦已为人妻 We should remember marriage is marriage, and Ellen is still a wife.
艾伦 瞧瞧谁来了 Ellen! See who's here!
我知道 Yes, I know.
我去问你妈你去哪儿了 I went to see your mother to ask where you've gone.
你老是不给回信 我还担心你病了 Since you never answered my note, I was afraid you might be ill.
因为他正忙着结婚 Well, he was in such a rush to get married, that's why.
他一下火车就往我这儿跑 Fresh off the train, and straight here.
求我为他说情 让他早点把心上人娶进门 He wants me to use all my influence just to marry his sweetheart sooner.
这个嘛 Well, surely, Granny, between us,
我们都能劝说韦兰德家照他的意思去办 we can persuade the Wellands to do as he wishes.
纽伦德 听见没 一针见血 就像我一样 There, Newland, you see? Right to the quick of the problem, like me.
我才跟他说他应该娶你的 I told him he should have married you.
他怎么说 And what did he say?
噢 乖孙女啊 Oh, my darling,
自己去找答案吧 I leave you to find that out.
可惜我不能久留 I wish I didn't have to leave.
我会尽快来看你的 I shall see you very soon, I hope.
好 Fine.
我送你 I'll see you out.
何时可去找你 When can I see you?
斯特拉瑟斯家会在七点派车来接我 The Struthers are sending the carriage at 7:00.
晚上好 Good evening.
谁发神经送花给我 Who's ridiculous enough to send me a bouquet?
我没要去舞会 也没订婚 I'm not going to a ball, and I'm not engaged.
纳斯塔西娅 Nastasia!
尤利斯·博弗特先生 谨献
就是有人这么神经 Some people are always ridiculous.
把这些花送给街尾那户人家 Take these to that nice family down the street.
嗯 她说的话有些真实 Well, I'll tell you, in almost everything she says,
也有虚假的成分 there's something true and something untrue.
为什么 Why?
奶奶跟你说了些什么 What has Granny been telling you?
她认为你会回到丈夫身旁 I think she believes you might go back to your husband.
她相信你至少会考虑一下 I think she believes you might at least consider it.
很多人相信我会做好些东西 A lot of things have been believed of me.
如果她相信我会考虑 But if she thinks I would consider it,
那表示她在代我考虑 that also means she would consider it for me,
也同时在考虑让你提早结婚 as Granny is weighing your idea of advancing the marriage.
我和梅在佛州已经把话谈开了 May and I had a frank talk in Florida.
那或许是我们的第一次 It's probably our first.
她想晚一点结婚 给我多一点时间 She wants a long engagement, to give me time.
多一点时间干嘛 Time for what?
她认为我急着与她结婚 She thinks I want to marry her at once...

怎么说 Why?
因为根本没有第三者 Because there is no other woman?
是因为 No.
因为我非她莫娶 Because I don't mean to marry anyone else.
那个第三者也深爱着你吗 This other woman, does she love you too?

对 人家邀我去 我就赴约 一个人太寂寞了 Yes. I must go where I'm invited, or I should be too lonely.
为何不同我一起去呢 Why not come with me?
其实梅猜得没错 May guessed the truth.
的确有第三者 There is another woman.
但不是她担心的那一个 Only, not the one she thinks.
别对我调情 太多人对我调情 Don't make love to me, too many people have done that.
我是真心的 I've never made love to you.
如果可以 But you are the woman I would've married
我要娶你 if it had been possible for either of us.
是你让它成为不可能的 You can say that when you're the one who's made it impossible?
- 我 - 你叫我别离婚 - I've made it? - Isn't it you who made me give up divorcing?
你在这屋里劝我要牺牲 Didn't you talk to me here, in this house,

为了成全你们 我乖乖听你的话 And for May's sake, and for yours, I did what you asked me!
你丈夫在信里说你 There were things in your husband's letter...

你认为你可以问她这个吗 I don't see you putting that question to May, do you?
事已至此 But I have to.
我别无选择 It's too late to do anything else.
这不是真的 You say that because it's the easiest thing to say at this moment,
你只是在逃避 not because it's true.
我真搞不懂你 I don't understand you.
因为你不知道 You don't understand because you don't yet realise

从前我并不知道别人是如此地鄙视我 I never understood how dreadful people thought I was.
直到外婆有一天不小心说溜了嘴 Granny blurted it out one day.
我好傻 I was stupid. I never thought...
我总以为到了纽约我就自由了 New York meant freedom to me.
每个人都那么好 那么乐于见到我 Everyone seemed so kind, and glad to see me.
他们怎会知道禁欲的痛苦 But they never knew what it meant to be tempted,
但你全都了解 but you did, you understood.
这些我从不知道 I'd never known that before.
而且比我所知的一切都还可贵 And it's better than anything I've known.
若你狠心 你也不会快乐 Newland, you couldn't be happy if it meant being cruel.
我怎能要你变心 If we act any other way,
我就是因你的人品而爱你 I'll be making you act against what I love in you most.
我再也无法任性而为 And I can't go back to that way of thinking.
难道你不懂吗 除非放弃你 否则我无法爱你 Don't you see? I can't love you, unless I give you up.
艾伦 奶奶果然不同凡响 "Ellen, Granny's telegram was successful.

婚礼之前盛传 There had been wild rumours right up to the wedding day
导演客串出演摄影师一角
明戈特老夫人要亲自观礼 that Mrs. Mingott would actually attend the ceremony.
她甚至请木匠去量教堂的长椅 It was known that she had sent a carpenter to measure the front pew,
了解是否需要加大 in case it might be altered to accommodate her.
不过最后她还是作罢 But this idea, like the great lady herself, proved to be unwieldy,
只决定在上午宴请大家 and she settled for giving the wedding-breakfast.
奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人表示 The Countess Olenska sent her regrets.
将有远行而无法出席 She was travelling with an aunt.
但她送了一匹蕾丝贺喜 But gave the bride and groom an exquisite piece of old lace.
两位姨妈提供了蜜月小套房 Two elderly aunts in Rhinebeck offered a honeymoon cottage.
当时英国贵族也流行这样 And, since it was thought very English to have a country house on loan,
小俩口欣然接受 their offer was accepted.
不过后来发现小屋不能住 When the house proved suddenly uninhabitable, however,
但亨利·冯·德莱登慷慨借出 Henry van der Luyden stepped in to offer an old cottage
他住家附近的别墅 on his property nearby.
梅接受了 好让纽伦德惊喜 May accepted the offer as a surprise for her husband.
她没见过这房子 She'd never seen the house,
只听艾伦提起过 but her cousin, Ellen, had mentioned it once.
她说全美国只有这里 She had said it was the only house in America
让她觉得幸福可期 where she could imagine being perfectly happy.
他们到了上流社会蜜月必经之地 梅从未去过 They travelled to the expected places, which May had never seen.
纽伦德在伦敦订做新衣 In London, Archer ordered his clothes.
两人同游国家画廊 一起欣赏歌剧 And they went to the National Gallery, and sometimes to the theatre.
希望这套衣服不会太俗气 I hope I don't look ridiculous.
我没在伦敦参加过晚宴 I've never dined out in London.
英国妇女的晚礼服和其他人一样 English women dress just like everybody else in the evening, don't they?
可是她们在剧院里 How can you say that when they're always at the theatre
都穿着旧礼服 in old ball dresses and bare heads?
或许把新衣留在家里穿吧 Well, maybe they save their new dresses for home.
这么说我不该穿这一件 Then I shouldn't have worn this.
你这样很好看 No, you look very fine.
真的很好看 Really quite beautiful.
她在巴黎添购了许多新衣 In Paris, she ordered her clothes.
出自御用裁缝之手 买了几大箱 There were trunks of dresses from Worth.

对 不幸的是他劝我就此封笔 Yes. Unfortunately, I was advised not to write.
阿切尔沉浸在新婚的喜悦中 Archer embraced his new marriage,
甚至恢复了对婚姻的看法 even as he reverted to his old inherited ideas about matrimony.
毕竟依照传统总是比较省事 It was less trouble to conform with tradition.
解放给梅也是徒然 There was no use trying to emancipate a wife
她丝毫不觉得自己受到束缚 who hadn't the dimmest notion that she was not free.
我们在伦敦时 When we were in London,
只在国家画廊待了一天 we could only manage one day at the National.
我们还去了卡太太和哈太太家 We were taken up by a Mrs. Carfry and Mrs. Harle...
我们相谈甚欢 他很有意思 We had an awfully good talk. He's an interesting fellow.
我们聊了书本等等的事 We talked about books, and many different things.
我想邀他共进晚餐 I thought I'd invite him to dinner.
- 那个法国人 - 对 - The Frenchman? - Yes.
我和他谈话的机会不多 I didn't have much chance to talk to him,
他不是很粗俗吗 but wasn't he a little common?
粗俗 Common?
我认为他很聪明 I thought he was clever.
我倒没发现到这一点 I suppose I shouldn't have known if he was clever.
我不邀他就是了 Then, I won't ask him to dine.
他突然感到一阵凉意 With a chill, he knew that in future,
以后有很多问题 将会如此为他先行解决 many problems would be solved for him in this same way.
人们说新婚后半年最难相处 The first six months of marriage were usually said to be the hardest.
之后 And after that, he thought they would have
双方的棱角都被磨平了 pretty nearly finished polishing down all the rough edges.
但梅施的压力 把他最想保持的棱角 But May's pressure was already wearing down
都快要磨平了 the very roughness he most wanted to keep.
对于奥兰斯卡夫人的渴望 As for the madness with Madame Olenska,
他强迫自己 Archer trained himself to remember it
将它当成婚前最后一次考验 as the last of his discarded experiments.
她是他记忆之中最令他悲伤 She remained in his memory simply as the most plaintive,
哀痛的 一丝幽魂 and poignant of a line of ghosts.
新港射箭俱乐部 八月
她真是厉害 She's very deft.
她在其他场合才不懂一矢中的 Yes, well, that's the only kind of target she'll ever hit.
没人会嫉妒梅的胜利 No one could ever be jealous of May's triumphs.
她好像不论输赢 She managed to give the feeling that she would have been
也永远如此娴静 just as serene without them.
但在她那平和甜美的帘幕之后 But what if all her calm, her niceness,
是否 were just a negation,
只是一片空白呢 a curtain dropped in front of an emptiness?
纽伦德感觉自己从未将帘幕掀起 Archer felt he had never yet lifted that curtain.
好漂亮 Quite stunning, isn't it?
这奖品是博弗特提供的吗 It's Julius Beaufort who donates the club's prizes, isn't it?
标准的博弗特作风 This looks like him, of course.
留着当传家之宝吧 It will make quite an heirloom, my dear.
将来送给你的长女吧 You should leave it to your eldest daughter.
怎么了 难道你不生女儿 只生儿子 What's the matter? Aren't there going to be any daughters? Only sons?
我说错了吗 What, can't I say that either?
瞧她害臊的 Look at her blushing.
艾伦 艾伦 你在楼上吗 Ellen! Ellen, are you upstairs?
她刚从朴茨茅斯来 She's over from Portsmouth, spending the day with me.
真讨厌 她不想住在这里 It's such a nuisance. She just won't stay in Newport.
非要呆在那破地方 叫什么来着 布朗克斯 Insists on putting up with those... What's their names? Blenkers.
我老早就懒得跟年轻人辩了 But I gave up arguing with young people 50 years ago. Ellen!
抱歉 夫人 I'm sorry, ma'am.
艾伦小姐出去了 Miss Ellen's not in the house.
她走了 She's left?
我看见她去海边了 I saw her going down the shore path.
乖 去把她找回来 Run down and fetch her like a good grandson.
我要跟梅聊聊博弗特的八卦 May and I will have a gossip about Julius Beaufort.
快去 她也想见见你们 Go ahead. I know she'll want to see you both.
博弗特真的给了情妇安妮·瑞茵钻石手镯吗 Is it true Beaufort has given Annie Ring a diamond bracelet?
听说他打算要带她来 I hear he even plans to bring her to Newport.
暌违一年半 He had heard her name often enough
他还是经常听见她的名字 during the year and a half since they had last met.
他对她的动态时有所闻 He was even familiar with the main incidents of her life.
但这并未激起任何涟漪 But he heard all these accounts with detachment,
只像是听见一个死人的陈年往事 as if listening to reminiscences of someone long-dead.
但过去却突然鲜活起来 But the past had come again into the present,
好像是最近出土的原始洞穴 as in those newly-discovered caverns in Tuscany,
孩子们带着火把闯入 where children had lit bunches of straw,
却看见早已作古之人 在墙上盯着你看 and seen old images staring from the wall.
他决定给自己一个机会 He gave himself a single chance.
帆船驶过灯塔前 她若转身 She must turn before the sailboat crosses the lime rock light.
他就走向她 Then, he would go to her.
真遗憾你没找到她 听说她变了 I'm sorry you didn't find her, but I've heard she's so changed.
变了 Changed?
都不理会老朋友了 So indifferent to her old friends,
还独自去朴茨茅斯避暑 她搬到华盛顿 summering in Portsmouth, moving to Washington.
或许是嫌我们乏味无趣 Sometimes, I think we've always bored her.
或许回到丈夫身旁会使她快活些 I wonder if she wouldn't be happier with her husband after all.
我从不知道你如此残忍 I don't think I've ever heard you be cruel before.
残忍 Cruel?
即使是魔鬼也不会觉得人在地狱会快乐 Even demons don't think people are happier in Hell.
当初她就不该远嫁海外 Then she shouldn't have married abroad.
让我来 走 驾 Here, let me. Go on. Walk on.
布朗克斯母女 邀布朗克斯母女吃饭 The Blenkers? A party for the Blenkers?
谁啊 Who are they?
她们住朴茨茅斯 艾伦住在她们家避暑 The Portsmouth people, I think. The ones Countess Olenska is staying with.
西勒顿夫妇敬邀周三下午三点 "Professor and Mrs. Emerson Sillerton request the pleasure Wednesday afternoon,
欢迎布朗克母女们莅临 "At 3:00 o'clock, punctually to meet Mrs. and the Misses Blenker.
红色院墙 凯瑟琳街 "Red gables, Catherine Street."
我们不好意思不去 I don't think we can decline.
何必去呢 他是个考古学家 I don't see why, really. He's an archaeologist.
他可是西勒顿·杰克逊的表兄 And he's Sillerton Jackson's cousin.
好吧 Of course.
一定要有人去才行 Some of us will have to go.
我去 珍妮 陪我去吧 I'll go over. And, Janey, why don't you come with me?
艾伦一定会去的 你可以见到她的 I'm sure Cousin Ellen will be there. It will give you a chance to see her.
纽伦德 你一个人可以打发时间吧 Newland, you can find a way to spend your afternoon, can't you?
我想我会好好利用时间 I think for a change, I'll just save it instead of spending it.
也许我会开车去农场 看看布鲁厄姆的新马 Maybe I'll drive to the farm to see about a new horse for the brougham.
至少杰克逊家没有选择杯赛日来举办他们的宴会 Well, at least the Jacksons didn't choose the day of the Cup Race for their party.
当然啦 如果真是那样我也不感到奇怪 Of course, I shouldn't be surprised if they had.
你好 Hello?
抱歉 是你按铃吗 我正在吊床上睡觉 I'm sorry. Did you ring? I've been asleep in the hammock.
把你吵醒了 抱歉 Well, I didn't mean to disturb you.
布朗克小姐吗 我叫纽伦德·阿切尔 Are you Miss Blenker? I'm Newland Archer.
久仰大名 Yes. I've heard so much about you.
我想来这儿买匹新马 I came to the island to look for a new horse.
本想登门拜访 但没人在家 I thought I'd call, but the house seems to be empty.
对 大伙儿都去赴宴去了 It is empty. They're all at the party.
只有发烧的我和奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人没去 Everyone's there, but me with my fever, and Countess Olenska.
噢 你找到我的伞了 Oh, you found my parasol.
这是我最爱的一把伞 喀麦隆制的 It's my best one. It's from the Cameroons.
真漂亮 Well, it's very pretty.
伯爵夫人不在吗 The Countess was called away?
对 她接到来自波士顿的电报 Yes. A telegram came from Boston.
她说她得去两天 She said she might be gone for two days.
我好喜欢她的发型 你呢 I do love the way she does her hair, don't you?
好像是小说中的女主角 It reminds me of Sir Walter Scott.
你不知道 我明天也要去波士顿一趟 You don't know... I'm sorry, but I have to be in Boston tomorrow.
你知道她住在哪儿吗 You wouldn't happen to know where she was staying?
艾伦 Ellen.
我是来出差的 刚到 I'm here on business. I just got here, actually.
你的发型变了 You're doing your hair differently.
女佣没来 Only because my maid's not with me.
她留在朴茨茅斯了 我只来两天 所以没带她来 She stayed back in Portsmouth. I'm here only for two days. It didn't seem worthwhile.
你一个人来的 You are travelling alone?
对 Yes.
你认为太危险吗 Why? Do you think it's a little dangerous?
只是不太符合传统 Well, it's unconventional.
大概是吧 Yes, I suppose it is.
我刚做了更有违传统的事 I've just done something so much more unconventional.
我拒绝拿回属于自己的钱 I refused to take back money that belonged to me.
有人找你谈了吗 Someone came with an offer?
什么条件 What were the conditions?
我回绝了 I refused.
- 告诉我是什么条件 - 也没什么 - Tell me the conditions. - Nothing unbearable, really.
只是偶尔扮演女主人 Just to sit at the head of his table now and then.
他不计代价要你回去吗 And he wants you back at any price?
很高的代价 Well, it's a considerable price.
至少对我而言 At least, it's considerable for me.
你是来见他的吗 So, you came to see him?
在这儿见我丈夫 怎么可能 My husband? Here? No, of course not.
他托人来传话 No. He sent someone.
他的秘书 His secretary?
对 Yes.
他还没离开 He's still here, in fact.
他坚持留下 等待我改变心意 He insisted on waiting, in case I changed my mind.
纽伦德 你一点都没变 You haven't changed, Newland.
我变了 见到你后才又变回样 I had changed until I saw you again.
求求你别再说了 Please don't.
让我陪你一天吧 我不会说任何烦心的话 Just give me the day. I'll say anything you like, or nothing.
你允许我才开口说话 I won't speak unless you tell me to.
我只想陪陪你 All I want is some time with you.
他会去旅馆找你吗 I want to get you away from that man. Is he coming to hotel?
- 十一点会来 - 我们该走了 - At 11:00... - Well, let's go now.
我得留个纸条 I'll have to leave a note at the hotel.
写在这上面吧 我有纸 Write on this. I have the paper.
瞧 这都是命运的安排 You see how everything is predestined?
看见没 这是新式自来水笔 And these? Have you seen these? The new stylographic pen.
就像 It's just like...
就像甩温度计里的水银 It's like jerking down the mercury in a thermometer. Now.
试试看 Try that.
没法写 It's not working.
应该没问题了 That should do it.
- 要我拿进去吗 - 等我一下 - Shall I take it in? - I'll be only a moment.
那天你怎么没去海边找我 Why didn't you come down to the beach to get me the day I was at Granny's?
因为你没回头 Because you didn't turn around. I swore...
我发誓你回头我才叫你 I swore I wouldn't call you unless you turned around.
我是故意不转身的 But I didn't look around on purpose.
你知道 You knew?
你看见你的马车 I recognised the carriage when you drove in.
所以我才去海边 So, I went to the beach.
躲我躲得远远的 To get as far away from me as you could.
对 尽我所能 As I could, yes.
我们还是得面对现实 Well, you see, it's no use. It's better if we face each other.
我只想对你坦白 I only want to be honest with you.
所以你欣赏博弗特 Honest? Isn't that why you always admired Julius Beaufort?
他比我们任何人都坦白 He was more honest than the rest of us, wasn't he? We've no character.
我们全是假道学 No colour, no variety.
你为何不回欧洲 I don't know why you don't just go back to Europe.
- 我想是为了你吧 - 我 - I believe that's because of you. - Me?
我听了一个女人的话 娶了另一个女人 I'm the man who married one woman because another one told him to.
你答应过今天不谈这些事的 You promised not to say such things today.
我没有办法不提 I can't keep that promise.
梅呢 梅的感受呢 What about May? What about how May feels?
如果你把我的婚姻当成是某种胜利 If you're using my marriage as some victory of ours,

您就是阿切尔先生 Mr. Archer, I think.
正是 Yes.
我姓里维埃 My name is Riviere.
去年我们在巴黎曾一起吃饭 I dined with you in Paris last year.
对 抱歉 我一时没想起来 Yes. I'm sorry. I didn't quite recall.
我昨天在波士顿看见你 所以一眼就认出你来 Quite all right. I had the advantage. I saw you in Boston yesterday.
我奉奥兰斯卡伯爵之命前来 I came here on Count Olenski's behalf.
我相信她该回到丈夫身边 Because I believed in all good faith that she should return to him.
抱歉 Forgive me.
抱歉 先生 Forgive me, monsieur,
我真的不明白 but I really don't understand your purpose
你为何来找我 in coming to see me.
她变了 She's changed, monsieur.
您跟她是旧识吗 You knew her before?
我常在伯爵家中见到她 I used to see her at her husband's house, yes.
伯爵不会将此事托给陌生人 Well, the count would not have entrusted my mission to a stranger.
你提到她变了 This change that you mentioned.
这是我头一遭见到她真情流露 It may only have been my seeing her for the first time,
美国式的真情流露 as she is, as an American.
她本有心做个贤妻良母 She made her marriage in good faith.
但伯爵却无法体会 It was a faith the Count could not share,
难以理解 could not understand.
所以 她的信念 So, her faith was...
粉碎了 Detruit?
- 破裂了 毁灭了 - 毁灭了 - Broken. Destroyed. - Destroyed.
她回欧洲虽可过优裕的生活 Returning to Europe would mean a life of some comfort,
但牺牲太大 and considerable sacrifice.
而且难以再续前缘 And, I would think, no hope.
当然了 我会依约 I will, of course, fulfil my obligation to the Count,
拜访她的家人 and meet with the family.
并转达伯爵的意愿 I will tell them everything that he suggests, and wishes for the Countess.
但也希望你能动用你的影响力 But I would ask you to use your influence with them.
求你叫她千万别回头 I beg you, monsieur. Do not let her go back.
巴克斯特·潘尼罗夫人死后 When old Mrs. Baxter Pennilow died,
家人才发现 they found her standing order,
她有四十八套大师做的女装 仍原封不动 48 Worth dresses, still wrapped in tissue paper.
她的女儿守完孝之后 When her daughters left off their mourning,
竟穿那些衣服去听音乐会 they wore the first lot to the symphony
毫不在意流行的趋势 without looking in advance of the fashion.
他曾在华盛顿写信给她 He had written to her once in Washington,
只是问她何时能再见面 just a few lines asking when they would meet again.
她回答 时机未到 And she wrote back, "Not yet."
尽管风格已经改变 And even that had the front panel changed.
博弗特带动了新流行 No, I think it was Julius Beaufort who started the new fashion.
回国时他让太太穿新衣亮相 By making his wife clap her new clothes on her back as soon as they arrived.
幸好她身世显赫 否则就像 I must say, it takes all Regina's distinction not to look like...
他在外面养的女人 Her rivals?
他的情妇安妮·瑞茵 Like that Annie Ring.
留点口德 Careful, dear.
这已经是公开的秘密 Everybody knows.
的确 Indeed.
他总是乱投资 Beaufort always put his business around.
现在生意垮了 他必须给大家一个交代 And now that his business is gone, there are bound to be disclosures.
垮了 有那么糟吗 Gone? Is it really that bad?
简直是一塌糊涂 As bad as anything I ever heard of.
每个我们认识的人都会受到影响 Most everybody we know will be hit one way or another.
他太太当然是最大的受害者 Very difficult for Regina, of course. And, it's a pity.
奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人回绝伯爵也是不智之举 It's certainly a pity that Countess Olenska refused her husband's offer.
何以见得 Why, for God's sake?
以最基本的角度来看 Well, to put it on the lowest ground,
- 她现在靠什么生活 - 生活 - what's she going to live on now? - Live on?
如今博弗特 I mean, now that Beaufort...
你这是什么意思 What the hell does that mean, sir?
她大部分的钱都交由博弗特投资 Most of her money's invested with Beaufort.
而且她娘家也不再资助她 And the allowance she's been getting from the family is so cut back.
她应该还有钱 I'm sure she has something.
一点钱 I would think a little.
还债之后也所剩无多了 Whatever remains after sustaining more debt.
她娘家很在意里维埃的话 I know the family paid close attention to Monsieur Riviere,
而且非常审慎地评估了伯爵的条件 and considered the Count's offer very carefully.
如果大家都希望她成为博弗特的情妇 If everyone had rather she be Beaufort's mistress
那么你做得一点都没错 than some decent fellow's wife, you've all gone about it perfectly.
她是不会回去的 She won't go back.
那只是你个人的想法 That's your opinion, eh?
没错 Well, no doubt you know.
我想她大可求明戈特夫人 I suppose she might still soften Catherine Mingott,
给她一些生活费 who could give her any allowance she chooses,
但其他家人都希望她回欧洲 but the rest of the family have no particular interest in keeping her here.
他们会由她 They'll simply let her...
自生自灭 Find her own level.
晚上好 先生 Evening, sir.
谢谢 马丁 Thank you, Martin.
这盏灯又在冒烟 找佣人来修 That lamp is smoking again. The servant should see to it.

算了 太复杂了 Never mind. It sounds too complicated.
这盏灯就够我烦的了 I have enough trouble managing this lamp.
让我试试 Let me try that.
去别处走走也好 But the change will do you good.
你一定要去看看艾伦 And you must be sure to go and see Ellen.
抱歉打扰 夫人 你的信 Excuse me, ma'am, but this came for you while you were out.
你能拿去修一下吗 爱丽丝 Do something about this, will you, Alice?

奶奶中风了 Granny's had a stroke.
中风 A stroke?
岂有此理 Ridiculous.
不过是感恩节多吃了点罢了 I told them all, it was just an excessive Thanksgiving.
那个医生不仅小题大作 还唯恐天下不知 Dr Bencomb acted most concerned and insisted on notifying everyone.
好像要大家来听我的遗嘱 As if it were the last reading of my will and testament.
你们真乖 会来关心我 You're very dear to come.
但或许只是来分遗产的 But perhaps you only wanted to see what I'd left you.
奶奶 你真是胡言乱语 Granny, that's shocking!
是胡言乱语令我中风的 It was shock that did this to me.
不 谢了 这都要怪瑞吉娜·博弗特太太 No. Thank you. It's all due to Regina Beaufort.
她昨晚来找我 求我 She came here last night, and she asked me...
求我 亏她说得出口 She asked me... She had the effrontery
要我帮助博弗特 to ask me to back Julius.
她要我别见死不救 Not to desert him, she said.
帮他们汤森德家族度过难关 To stand behind our common lineage in the Townsend family.
帮助博弗特 就等于帮助他们全家族 If you back Julius, you can see the family through.
如果你见死不救 If you don't,
我们就都会 we will all,
永远抬不起头来 every one of us, fall into dishonour.
我告诉她 I said to her...
咱们明戈特家 Honour's always been honour.
做事一向光明磊落 And honesty's always been honesty in Manson Mingott's house.
只要我一息尚存 绝不做违背良心之事 And will be, till I'm carried out feet-first.
她回答说 如果你敢相信她所说的 但我的名誉怎么办 姑姑 And then she said, if you can believe this, "But my name, Auntie."
我的名誉怎么办 But my name, Auntie.
我叫瑞吉娜·汤森德 My name's Regina Townsend.
于是我对她说 And I said to her...
你在博弗特娶你入门时 就已冠上夫姓 Your name was Beaufort when he covered you with jewels,
既使现今他已使你蒙羞 你仍姓博弗特 and it's got to stay Beaufort, now that he's covered you with shame.
然后我就崩溃了 And then I gave out,
就这么崩溃了 simply gave out.
现在大伙全等着参加我的葬礼 And now family is arriving from all over,
然后他们又需要有人招待 expecting a funeral, and they'll have to be entertained.
真不知大夫通知了多少人 I don't know how many notes Bencomb sent out.
- 希望我们能帮得上忙 - 艾伦就快来了 - If there's anything we can do to help out... - Well, my Ellen is coming.
我指名要她来 I expressly asked for her.
她的火车今天到 如果你肯去接她的话 She arrives this afternoon on the train. If you could fetch her...
当然 如果梅要用四轮马车的话 我去乘轮渡 Of course. If May will send the brougham, I'll take the ferry.
好 谢谢 Fine. Fine. Thank you.
瞧 这不就成了 There? You see, Granny? Everyone will be settled.
谢谢你 乖孙 愿上天保佑你 Thank you, dear. Bless you.
我不想让奶奶操心 I didn't want to worry Granny,
可是你今天要去华盛顿 but how can you meet Ellen and bring her back here
怎么去接艾伦呢 if you have to go to Washington yourself this afternoon?
我不去了 早上莱特布赖尔告诉我 I'm not going. The case is off, postponed.
开庭延期了 I heard from Letterblair this morning.
延期 这怎么可能 Postponed? How odd.
早上我妈也收到他的通知 Mama had a note from him this morning as well.
他也很关心奶奶 但无法前来 He was concerned about Granny, but had to be away.
他正在最高法院打一场专利官司 He was arguing a big patent case before the Supreme Court.
一场专利的官司 You did say it was a patent case, didn't you?
大家都无法出庭 Well, that's it. The whole office can't go.
莱特布赖尔只好自己去了 Letterblair decided to go himself.
这不叫延期 So then, it's not postponed?
对 可是我出庭的日期是延了 No, but my going is.
他计算过搭车和乘船 He knew it was two hours by ferry
从纽泽西市宾州车站到明戈特奶奶家 and carriage from the Pennsylvania terminus in Jersey City back to Mrs. Mingott's.
需要两小时 All of two hours.
或许多一点 And maybe a little more.
- 没想到我会来吧 - 对 - You didn't expect me today. - No.
我差点去华盛顿找你 我们差点见不到面 I nearly came to Washington to see you. We would have missed each other.
明戈特奶奶要我来接你 她好多了 It was Granny Mingott who sent me. She's much better.
我几乎把你给忘了 You know, I hardly remembered you.
几乎把我给忘了 Hardly remembered?
每次都是如此 I mean... I mean, each time is the same.
每回你都给带我全新的感受 You happen to me all over again.
我知道 Yes, I know.
我也有相同的感受 For me, too.
我们不能再这样耗下去了 Ellen, we can't stay like this. It can't last.
我们必须面对现实 I think we should look at reality, not dreams.
我要跟你长相厮守 I just want us to be together.
我不可能嫁给你的 I can't be your wife, Newland.
难道要我当你情妇吗 Is it your idea I should live with you as your mistress?
我想 I want...
我想要带你远走高飞 Somehow I want to get away with you,
到一个没有妻妾之分的地方 and find a world where words like that don't exist.
噢 亲爱的 Oh, my dear.
什么地方 你去过吗 Where is that country? Have you ever been there?
到哪儿可以逃过良心的谴责呢 Is there anywhere we can be happy behind the backs of people who trust us?
我不在乎 I'm beyond caring about that.
你不是这种人 No, you're not.
你从未离经叛道过 You've never been beyond that.
而我却是过来人 I have.
我了解那种感受 我们是不可能结合的 I know what it looks like. It's no place for us.
为何停车 奶奶不住这里 Why are... Why are we stopping? This isn't Granny's.
我要在这儿下车 No. I'll get out here.
你说得对 我不该来的 You were right. I shouldn't have come today.
你在看什么 What are you reading?
一本有关日本的书 It's a book about Japan.
为何读它 Why?
我也不知道 I don't know.
因为那是不同的国家 Because it's a different country.
你不是爱读诗吗 You used to read poetry.
我喜欢你念诗给我听 It was so nice when you read it to me.
纽伦德 Newland.
你会感冒的 You'll catch your death.
当然 Of course.
他发现他已有如行尸走肉 But then he realised, "I am dead.
死了好几个月 "I've been dead for months and months."
他突然想到她可以死掉 Then it occurred to him that she might die.
世事难料 健康的年轻人也可能遭遇不测 People did. Young people, healthy people did.
也许她会死 让他恢复自由 She might die and set him free.
纽伦德 Newland?
艾伦 我非见你不可 Ellen, I have to see you.
你何时离开 I didn't know when you were leaving again.
我不走了 I'm... I'm not leaving.
奶奶要我留下来照顾她 Granny's asked me to stay and take care of her.
那么我们得好好谈谈 Then we have to talk now.
我得到瑞吉娜家去 坐奶奶的车去 I'm due at Regina Beaufort's. Granny lent me her carriage.
奶奶说博弗特是个无赖 我先生也一样 I know Granny says Julius Beaufort is a scoundrel,
而全家族的人却都要我回到他身旁 but so is my husband, and the family still want me to go back to him.
只有奶奶是个明理之人 她甚至时常接济我 Only Granny understands. She's even seen to my allowance.
我必须找个地方和你独处 I have to see you, somewhere we can be alone.
- 在纽约吗 - 只要是能独处的地方 - In New York? - Alone. Somewhere we can be alone.
明天下午两点半美术馆见 The art museum in the park, 2:30 tomorrow.
我在门口等你 I'll be at the door.
用途不详
你到纽约来只因你怕 You came to New York because you were afraid.
- 怕什么 - 怕我去华盛顿找你 - Afraid? - Of my coming to Washington.
我以为在纽约会比较安全 I thought I would be safer.
怕我打扰你 Safer from me?
艾伦 Ellen?
怕 S...
怕自己陷得太深吗 Safer from loving me?
可以给你一次然后回家去吗 Shall I come to you once and then go home?
给我一次吧 Come to me once then.
什么时候 When?
明天 Tomorrow.
后天吧 The day after.
奥兰斯卡夫人 第五大道 八零九号
抱歉 我回来晚了 没让你操心吧 I'm sorry I'm late. You weren't worried, were you?
现在很晚吗 Is it late?
已经七点多了 It's past 7:00.
我和艾伦在奶奶家聊 I stayed at Granny's because Cousin Ellen came in.
她非常友好 我们聊得很开心 就像是从前的她 We had a wonderful talk. She was so dear, just like the old Ellen.
奶奶好喜欢她 Granny was so charmed by her.
不过她有时真让人反感 But you can see, though, how the family's been annoyed with her at times.
例如坐奶奶的车去看博弗特太太 Going to see Regina Beaufort in Granny's carriage and...
今晚要出去吃吗 Are we dining out tonight?
你今天还没亲我 You haven't kissed me today.
当时纽约人的习惯 It was the custom in old New York
新婚的前几年 for brides to appear in their wedding dress
新嫁娘都穿着结婚礼服出门 during the first year or two of marriage.
但梅从欧洲回来后 But May, since returning from Europe,
今晚是她第一次穿上结婚礼服 had not worn her bridal satin until this evening.
抱歉 梅 我的头好痛 May, I'm sorry. My head's bursting.
别告诉任何人 我们回家吧 Please don't tell anyone. Come home with me now.
你不是该休息 Shouldn't you rest?
我的头好多了 My head's not as bad as that.
有件事我得告诉你 And there's something important I have to say to you right away.
我得和你谈谈 May, there is something that I've got to tell you.
关于我自己 About myself.
奥兰斯卡夫人 Madame Olenska...
为何要在今晚谈她 Why should we talk about Ellen tonight?
因为我早就该说了 Because I should have spoken before and...
真有那么重要吗 Is it really worthwhile, dear?
我知道有时我对她过于冷淡 I know I've been unfair to her at times.
或许你也一样 Perhaps we all have.
你是最了解她的人 You've understood her better than any of us, I suppose,
但现已经事过境迁了 but does it really matter now that it's all over?
事过境迁 什么意思 How do you mean, "over"?
她马上就要回欧洲了 Why, since she's going back to Europe so soon.
尽管奶奶很失望 但她能体谅 Granny's approved, and understands.
她愿意给她一笔钱 She's disappointed, of course,
让她不用再仰赖伯爵 but she's arranged to make Ellen financially independent of the Count.
我以为你今天在办公室听说了 I... I thought you would have heard today at your offices.
- 不可能 - 不可能 - It's impossible. - Impossible?
她本可以住在纽约 Certainly she could have stayed here with Granny's extra money,
只是她不要 but I guess she's given us up, after all.
你怎么会知道 How do you know that?
艾伦亲口说的 我说过我昨天在奶奶家遇见她 From Ellen. I told you, I saw her at Granny's yesterday.
她昨天告诉你的 And she told you that, yesterday?
不是 今天下午我收到她的来信 No. She sent me a note this afternoon.
想看吗 Do you want to see it?
我以为你已经知道了 I thought you knew.
亲爱的梅 我终于让奶奶了解 "May, dear, I have at last made Granny understand
我这次来 只是想看看她 "that my visit to her could be no more than a visit,
这一回她和以前一样疼我 "and she has been as kind and generous as ever."
这一回她和以前一样疼我 "And she has been as kind and generous as ever.
她知道我回欧洲后 必须自食其力 "She sees now that if I return to Europe, I must live by myself.
我急于回华盛顿打包 下周就搭船回欧洲 "I am hurrying back to Washington to pack up, and I sail next week.
我不在时要好好照顾她 "You be must very good to Granny when I'm gone,
就像你待我那样 "as good as you've always been to me.
万一有人想说服我留下来 "If any of my friends wish to urge me to change my mind,
请他们别白费唇舌 "please tell them it would be utterly useless."
请他们别白费唇舌 "... tell them it would be utterly useless."
她为何写这封信给你 Why did she write this?
大概是我们昨天聊了很多吧 I suppose because we talked things over yesterday.
聊什么 What things?
我说我怕自己待她不够好 I told her that I was afraid I hadn't always been fair to her,
因为我不了解她所受的苦 that I hadn't always understood how hard it must have been for her here.
我知道她很信任你 I knew you'd be the one friend she could always count on,
我要她知道 我跟你一样支持她 and I wanted her to know that you and I were the same in all of our feelings.
她了解我为何说这一番话 She understood why I wanted to tell her this.
她是个善解人意的人 I think she understands everything.
我的头也好痛 My head aches too.
- 晚安 亲爱的 - 晚安 - Good night, dear. - Good night.
诚如阿切尔的母亲所说 It was, as Mrs. Archer said to Mrs. Welland,
新婚夫妇首次请客是件大事 a great event for a young couple to give their first dinner,
必须做到尽善尽美 and it was not to be undertaken lightly.
要请个大厨 There was a hired chef,
两个上菜的 用最上等的玫瑰 two borrowed footmen, roses from Henderson's,
柠檬汁甜酒 镶金边的菜单 Roman punch and menus on gilt-edged cards.
冯·德·莱登夫妇不仅出席了 It was considered a particular triumph that the van der Luydens,
还因梅之邀 留在纽约 at May's request, stayed in the city to be present
参加奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人的送别会 at her farewell dinner for the Countess Olenska.
受辱后你必须离开纽约 You have to leave New York after the disgrace...
阿切尔将一桌慈面善目的人 Archer saw all the harmless-looking people
视为一群沉默的共谋者 at the table as a band of quiet conspirators,
破坏着他和艾伦的好事 with himself and Ellen the centre of their conspiracy.
他猜想着这几个月来 He guessed himself to have been for months the centre
大家都默默盯着 of countless silently observing eyes
竖起耳朵静静地听 and patiently listening ears.
他体会到他们成功地 He understood that somehow the separation
把他和他情人分开了 between himself and the partner of his guilt had been achieved.
他也了解到大伙儿都站在梅那一边 And he knew that now the whole tribe had rallied around his wife.
他成了众矢之的 He was a prisoner in the centre of an armed camp.
我在想他们是否会回来 I wonder if they'll ever get it back.
博弗特太太病了 Regina's not well at all,
但博弗特仍然 but that doesn't stop Beaufort from devoting as much time
常和安妮·瑞茵厮混 to Annie Ring as he can manage.
老实说 The best thing Beaufort could do
博弗特应该去北卡找她 would be to go and stay at Regina's little place in North Carolina.
他可以在那儿养马 He could breed trotters...
他寄给艾伦的钥匙 And the key to his release
当天即被返还 had been returned the day before.
被原封不动寄了回来 By mail. Unopened.
博弗特根本不担心婚外情曝光 He may stay here as a deliberate challenge to the outrage he's created.
说不定他还会竞选总统呢 Perhaps he'll run for public office.
安妮·瑞茵会成为他的第一夫人吗 Then will Annie Ring be his first lady?
从华盛顿回来累吗 Was your trip from Washington very tiring?
火车上闷得要命 The heat on the train was dreadful.
出远门总是辛苦的 But all travel has its hardships.
能换个环境就值得了 Well, whatever they may be, they're worth it just to get away.
我也打算出远门 I mean to do a lot of travelling myself soon.
菲利普 一起去冒险吧 What about you, Philip? What about a little adventure?
雅典或是伊斯麦 或是君士坦丁堡 Athens and Smyrna, maybe even Constantinople.
或许吧 或许吧 Possibly. Possibly.
千万别去拿坡里 But not Naples.
大夫说那儿有流行病 Dr Bencomb says there's a fever.
噢 真的吗 拿坡里有流行病 Oh, really? A fever in Naples.
那么我就去印度吧 Well, there's always India, of course.
在印度至少得待三周才够 You must have three weeks to do India properly.
没错 Absolutely.
博弗特虽然未受邀 Beaufort may not receive invitations any more,
但仍然保持高姿态 but it's clear he still maintains a certain position.
听说是平躺在床上的姿态 Horizontal from all I've heard.
如果他再胡搞下去 If things go on like this, we'll be seeing our children
恐怕我们的后代会跟他的私生子结婚 fighting for invitations to swindlers' houses and marrying Beaufort's bastards.
他在外面生了几个 Has he got any?
各位 留点口德 Be careful there, gentlemen. Draw it mild. Draw it mild.
社会对荡妇总能容忍 Society has a history of tolerating vulgar women after all.
在某种程度上 Up to a point.
容忍那种人的唯一原因 But once it tolerates a man of that kind,
- 只能是为了继承权 - 你是否注意到了 - the only prospect is total disinheritance... - Have you ever noticed
厨子最差的人家 it's the people with the worst cooks who are always yelling
总是嫌别人家的菜难吃 about being poisoned when they dine out?
我以为莱弗茨是精于此项 Lefferts used to be a little more adept, I thought.
但只要懂得步法 But then grace is not always required
这一门是不需美态的 as long as one knows the steps.
真不知莱弗茨这家伙 I've never heard Lefferts so abound in the sentiments
几时成了卫道人士 that adorn Christian manhood.
愤怒和恐惧所爆发出的威力一样伤人 Indignation lends a scathing eloquence.
家里的压力无穷无尽 It's almost as effective as fear. The pressure at home must be unrelenting.
我从未听过如此赞美家庭的话 I never expected to hear such a paean to the sanctity...
我母亲想把她那尊维纳斯铜像送给我们 My mother had a bronze reduction of the Venus De Milo she wanted to give us...
他们不动声色地 The silent organisation
团结起来 决定痛惩不守规范的人 which held this whole small world together was determined to put itself on record.
从未有人质疑 奥兰斯卡夫人的行为有违礼教 It had never for a moment questioned the propriety of Madame Olenska's conduct.
也从未有人质疑纽伦德的忠诚 It had never questioned Archer's fidelity.
从未有人听说 怀疑 或甚至相信 And it had never heard of, suspected or even conceived possible
他们有任何不轨 anything at all to the contrary.
艾伦 Ellen.
从这一顿完美演出的饭局 From the seamless performance of this ritual,
阿切尔知道 纽约全城都认定他和奥兰斯卡夫人是情人 Archer knew that New York believed him to be Madame Olenska's lover.
我们在聊舞会的事 We were discussing the Martha Washington ball.
我们想在复活节当周办个爱盲舞会 Yes, we have it during Easter week to benefit the blind society.
他们做的工作棒极了 They do excellent work.
劳伦斯 Lawrence. Lawrence...
他第一次了解到 And he understood for the first time
自己的太太也这么认为 that his wife shared the belief.
你一定要来欧洲看我 You must come visit me when you do.
等一切安顿好 我会写信回来的 I'll write you as soon as I'm settled and let you know where I am.
那太好了 Yes, that would be lovely.
我送你上马车 Shall I see you to your carriage?
我们正要送她回家 We are driving dear Ellen home.
再见 Good-bye.
再见 巴黎见了 Good-bye. And I'll see you very soon in Paris.
噢 希望你和梅能来 Oh, if you and May could come.
可以走了吗 Shall we make our way to the carriage, my dear?
今晚真开心 Delightful evening, Newland.
晚安 纽伦德 Good night, Newland.
晚安 西勒顿 拉瑞 Good night, Sillerton. Good night, Larry.
今夜的晚宴很棒吧 It did go off beautifully, didn't it?
噢 对 Oh, yes.
我能进来聊聊吗 May I come in and talk it over?
当然 可是你一定很想睡了 Of course. But you must be very sleepy.
- 不 我想和你聊聊 - 好 - No, I'm not. I'd like to be with you a little. - Fine.
如果你愿意 If you feel up to it, May,
我想告诉你一件事 there is something that I've been wanting to talk to you about.
那一夜就想告诉你的那件事 And I tried to talk to you the other evening.
是的 有关你自己的事 Yes, dear. Something about yourself.
对 有关我自己的事 About myself, yes.
真不知该从何说起 It's so difficult to find the right words.
我觉得好累 But it's just that I feel so terribly tired at the moment.
我想 And I think...
而且每况愈下 Each day a little more so.
我想如果我休息一阵子 或许对大家都有好处 And I think it would be better for everyone if I were to make a break.
你是指辞职 You mean give up the law?
辞职当然也是一部分 Well, certainly that would be a part of it. And also just to...
然后出国 Just to get away.
我想出去旅行 I... I'd like to do some travelling.
欧洲 To Europe or...
或是更远的地方 Perhaps even farther.
多远 How far?
我也不知道 I don't know. I thought...
印度或是日本吧 India or Japan.
像那么远的地方 As far as that?
这个嘛 Well...
恐怕你不能去 亲爱的 I'm afraid you can't, dear.
除非你带我去 Not unless you take me with you.
只怕医生不会同意 That is, if the doctors will let me go, and I'm afraid they won't.
纽伦德 早上才确定的 Newland, I've been sure of something since this morning,
我一直想找机会告诉你 and I've been longing to tell you.
噢 亲爱的 Oh, my dear.
意外吧 You didn't guess?
对 我希望 但 No. I mean, of course, I... I hoped, but...
你还告诉了谁 Have you told anyone else?
只有我妈妈和你母亲 Only Mamma and your mother...
还有艾伦 And Ellen.
我说过我们聊了很久 而且她人很好 I told you we had a long talk one afternoon and how wonderful she was to me.
你不想让她知道吗 Did you mind my telling her, Newland?
怎么会呢 Mind? Why should I?
那已经是两星期前的事了吧 But that was two weeks ago, wasn't it?
你不是今天才确定的吗 I thought you just said you weren't sure till today?
当时我是不确定 No, I... I wasn't sure then,
但我还是告诉她了 but I told her I was.
而且呢 我猜对了 And you see, I was right.
就在这书房 It was the room
他生命中最真实的事发生了 in which most of the real things of his life had happened.
他们的长子西奥多 Their eldest boy, Theodore,
无法在隆冬抱出门 too delicate to be taken to church in midwinter,
因此就在这儿受洗 had been christened there.
我以圣父 I baptise thee in the name of the Father,
圣子 and of the son,
以及圣灵的名义 为你施洗礼 and of the holy spirit.
泰德就在这里学走路 It was here that Ted took his first steps.
纽伦德夫妇也常在此 And it was here that Archer and his wife always discussed
讨论子女的未来 the future of all their children.
比尔对考古有兴趣 Bill's interest in archaeology,
玛丽喜欢体育和慈善活动 Mary's passion for sports and philanthropy,
热爱艺术的泰德想当建筑师 Ted's inclination toward art that led to a job with an architect,
和从事室内装潢的工作 as well as some considerable redecoration.
玛丽在这里宣布喜讯 It was in this room that Mary had announced her engagement...
我真为你开心 I'm so happy for you.
她嫁给了拉瑞·莱弗茨的儿子 To the dullest and most reliable of Larry Lefferts' many sons.
纽伦德也在这里亲吻了她 And it was in this room, too, that her father had kissed her
然后坐车陪她上教堂结婚 through her wedding veil before they motored to Grace Church.
纽伦德是个贤夫慈父 He was a dutiful and loving father, and a faithful husband.
当梅因照顾比尔而感染肺炎过世 When May died of infectious pneumonia after nursing Bill safely through,
他深深哀悼 he had honestly mourned her.
世界在她的岁月中粉碎瓦解 The world of her youth had fallen into pieces
然后形成一个新世界 而她并未察觉 and rebuilt itself without her ever noticing.
纯真无邪的她 This hard, bright blindness,
似乎很难意识到周遭的变动 her incapacity to recognise change,
因此儿女就像阿切尔一样 不愿对她透露内心的看法 made her children conceal their views from her, just as Archer concealed his.
她死时仍然觉得这世界是一片乐土 She died thinking the world a good place,
充满爱与和谐 就像她的家庭一样 full of loving and harmonious households like her own.
纽伦德·阿切尔在五十七岁时 Newland Archer, in his 57th year,
追忆过去 感慨万千 mourned his past and honoured it.
喂 Yes, hello? Hello?
芝哥加电话 Chicago wants you.
喂 Hello?
- 爸 - 泰德 是你吗 - Dad? - Is that you, Ted?
爸 我刚完工 Dad, I'm just about finished out here,
但客户要求我去看几座花园 再着手设计 but my client wants me to look at some gardens before I start designing.
不错嘛 在哪儿 That sounds fine. Where?
- 欧洲 - 天啊 - Europe. - Gracious.
我下周三搭船过去 I'll have to sail next Wednesday on the Mauretania.
什么 要错过自己的婚礼吗 What, and miss the wedding?
我想安妮会等我的 I think Annie will wait for me.
我一号就回来了 赶得上五号的婚礼 I'll be back on the 1st, and our wedding's not till the 5th.
没想到你还记得日期 I'm surprised you remember the date.
- 希望你能和我一起去 - 什么 - Well... Dad, I was hoping you'd join me. - What?
我需要你提醒我孰重孰轻 I'll need you to remind me of what's important.
结婚前的最后一次父子同游 What do you say? It will be our last father-and-son trip.
- 感谢你的邀请 - 太好了 - Well, Ted, I do appreciate the invitation... - Wonderful!
明天记得订船票 Can you call the Cunard office first thing tomorrow?
但我得取消 But it would take me till next Wednesday just to cancel my...
我不想听 大西洋正在召唤我们 I won't hear it, Dad. The Atlantic is calling us.
周一我就到纽约 I'll be in New York on Monday, and I'll contact you then.
- 什么时候 - 星期一 - You'll be in New... - On Monday.
我尽力就是了 I'll see what I can do.
订购船票 爸 Settle the tickets, Dad.
我不能拍胸脯保证 我尽力就是了 I can't promise anything, Ted. I'll see what I can do. All right.
- 再见 - 再见 - Bye-bye. - Bye.
我要和透娜去凡尔赛宫 你去不去 I'm going out to Versailles with Tourneur. Will you join us?
我想去罗浮宫 I thought I'd go to the Louvre.
那么我去找你 I'll meet you there later then.
我跟奥兰斯卡伯爵夫人约在五点半见 Countess Olenska's expecting us at 5:30.
什么 What?
我没告诉你吗 Didn't I tell you?
安妮要我在巴黎为她做三件事 Annie made me swear to do three things in Paris.
帮她买套德彪西的最新曲谱合辑 Get her the score of the last Debussy songs,
去大木偶剧院 以及去看奥兰斯卡夫人 go to the Grand Guignol, and see Madame Olenska.
博弗特送安妮来索邦大学读书时 You know, she was awfully good to Annie
她待她好极了 when Mr. Beaufort sent her over to the Sorbonne.
伯爵夫人跟博弗特的前妻关系不太好 对吗 Wasn't the Countess friendly with Mr. Beaufort's first wife or something?
博弗特先生是这么说的 I think Mrs. Beaufort said that she was.
总之 早上我打了电话给伯爵夫人 In any case, I called the Countess first thing this morning,
告诉她我是她的外甥 introduced myself as her cousin.
你提到过我也来了吗 Did you tell her I was here, Ted?
当然 有何不可 Of course. Why not?
她听起来很可爱 她一向如此吗 She sounds lovely. Was she?
可爱 Lovely?
我不知道 她变了 I don't know. She was different.
每当忆起艾伦·奥兰斯卡 Whenever he thought of Ellen Olenska,
他总感觉虚幻宁静 it had been abstractly, serenely,
宛如画中的仕女 like an imaginary loved one in a book or picture.
她象征他所错失的一切 She had become the complete vision of all that he had missed.
我才五十七岁啊 I'm only 57.
博弗特再婚时 Did Mr. Beaufort really have such a bad time of it
阻力真有这么大吗 when he wanted to remarry?
大家都不谦让他一分 No one wanted to give him an inch?
或许是以前谦让过太多 Perhaps because he'd already taken so much.
但现在谁还记得 谁还在乎呢 As if anyone remembers any more, or cares.
安妮·瑞茵为他生了个宝贝女儿 你真幸运 Well, Annie Ring and he did have a lovely daughter. You're very lucky.
你是指我们都很幸运 We're very lucky, you mean.
当然 Yes, of course that's what I mean.
人生至此 早已事过境迁 So considering how that all turned out, and all the time that's gone by,
你怎么还要抗拒呢 I don't see how you can resist.
你们结婚 我一开始也无法接受 I did have some resistance at first to your marriage, as I told you...
我是指你拒绝见一个你差点为她牺牲一切的女人 No. I mean resist seeing the woman you almost threw everything over for.
只是你悬崖勒马了 Only you didn't.
我悬崖勒马 I didn't?
没错 No.
但母亲说 But Mother said that she knew
- 我们都会安然无恙的 - 你母亲 - we would be safe with you. - Your mother?
还记得她临终的前一天 要单独跟我谈吗 Yes. The day before she died she asked to see me alone. Remember?
她说她放心把这个家交给你 She said she knew we were safe with you,
一直如此安心 and always would be,
因为你曾答应她 because once, when she asked you to,
放弃你的最爱 you gave up the thing that you wanted most.
她从未提起此事 She never asked.
她从未要求过我 She never asked me.
一会儿之后 他对泰德的直率不再感到懊恼 After a little while he did not regret Ted's indiscretion.
他的心结终于松绑 It seemed to take an iron band from his heart to know that,
毕竟 终究有人猜到而且怜悯过他 after all, someone had guessed and pitied,
而那个人居然是自己的太太 这更叫他感动莫名 and that it should have been his wife moved him inexpressibly.
门童说她住在三楼 The porter says it's the third floor.
一定是有两篷的那一户 Must be the one with the awnings.
快六点了 It's nearly 6:00.
我想坐一会儿 I think I'll just sit for a while.
你不想上去吗 Do you mean you won't come?
- 真的不上去吗 - 我也不知道 - You really won't come at all? - I don't know.
她不会理解的 She won't understand.
去吧 泰德 也许我随后就到 Go on, Ted. Maybe I'll follow you.
我该怎么告诉她 What will I tell her?
你不是最能言善道了吗 Don't you always have something to say?
我说你很老派 I'll tell her you're old-fashioned,
坚持走楼梯 而不愿意去乘电梯 and you insist on walking up three flights instead of taking the elevator.
就说我很老派 Just say I'm old-fashioned.
这足够了 去吧 That should be enough. Go on.
去吧 Go on.
