现在纺织业恢复了平静和理智， 我认为我有责任揭露最近这场危机背后的真实故事， 我们很高兴当时真相未能见诸报端 'Now that calm and sanity have returned to the textile industry, 'l feel it my duty to reveal something of the true story 'behind the recent crisis, 'a story which we were, happily,'able to keep out of the newspapers at the time.
“麻烦不是在我自己的工厂开始的， 我乐于承认这一点， 而是在我参观迈克尔·考兰的工厂时开始的， 这家工厂生产一种与我厂类似的人造纤维 "The trouble began, not in my own mill, I'm glad to say, 'but during my visit to the mill owned by Michael corland, 'which manufactures an artificial fibre similar to my own.
“考兰是个风度翩翩的年轻人， 我女儿似乎很喜欢他。 'Corland is a personable young man, 'who seemed to have impressed my daughter.
他还急于让我相信他的工厂是一项可靠的金融投资” 'He was also anxious to impress me 'with the idea that his mill was a sound financial investment.'
产量很客观，每天有六百万码的丝线 output is excellent. Six million yards of filament a day.
——有多少?-六百万。 - How many? - Six million.
没错，对吧，希尔? That's right, isn't it, hill?
六百万英尺。是的,科兰先生。 Six million feet. Yes, mr corland.
-当然是英尺了。 -当然。 - Feet, of course. - Of course.
早上好。我要和柯兰先生还有我父亲一起吃午饭。 Good morning. I'm lunching here with mr corland and my father.
他们还在巡视工坊，伯恩利小姐。 They're still looking around the mill, miss birnley.
你能在科兰先生的房间里等一下吗? Would you care to wait in mr corland's off...?
嗯…迈克尔。你好,爸爸。早上好，希尔先生。 Um... Michael. Hello, daddy. Good morning, mr hill.
达芙妮，请别打断我。 Now, now, Daphne, please don't interrupt.
我正在进行一次启蒙之旅呢。往这走吗? I'm having a most illuminating tour. Is it this way?
-这边走，伯恩利先生。-噢。谢谢你！ - This way, mr birnley. - Oh, this way. Thank you.
—情况如何？ —很棘手。 - How's it going? - Sticky.
-怎么，他说什么了? -哦,什么都没有。真麻烦。 - Why, what does he say? - Oh, nothing. That's the trouble.
噢，他只是在扮演"行业老大"的角色。 Oh, that's only his "kingpin of industry" act.
“纺织业辉煌的四十年。”不要让这件事打击你。 "Forty glorious years in textiles." Don't let it get you down.
我相信他会把你想要的钱都投出来的。 I'm sure he'll put up all the money you want.
-抱歉…先生-啧，啧 - Sorry... sir. - Come on. Come on.
当然，我们这远比不上您的伯恩利工厂。 Of course, it's hardly up to what you have at birnleys.
确实。 Quite.
呃…比如，先生，请这边走。 Er... for instance, sir, if you'd step this way.
格林先生，也许你可以给伯恩利先生看看你最近在做的东西。 Mr green, perhaps you would show mr birnley the latest thing you've been working on.
等一下，格林 Just a moment, green.
谢谢你！ Thank you.
这是什么? What's this?
我说不好，伯恩利先生。格林先生? I really couldn't say, mr birnley. Mr green?
-也许你能解释一下。 -呃……很乐意。 - Perhaps you would explain. - Er... gladly.
这是,呃…… Well, it's, er...
显然,这是,呃…… Obviously, it's, er...
-威尔金斯先生? -是的,先生? - Mr Wilkins? - Yes, sir?
—呃……这是你的吗? —不,先生。 - Is, er... this yours? - No, sir.
哈里森? Harrison?
——你的吗?——不,先生。 - Yours? - No, sir.
我以为是…他的 I thought it was... his.
这真的有什么所谓吗? Well, does it matter, really?
-这真有趣。 -福泽林盖? - Merely a matter of interest. - Fotheringay?
呃…你能过来一下吗? Er... could you spare us a moment?
这是什么? What is this?
难道你不知道吗? Don't you know?
我觉得这是个特殊工程。 I think it was a special job.
谁做的特殊工程? Who for?
搞快点！谁批准的这玩意？ Come along, come along. Who authorised it?
显然是你批准的。 Apparently you did.
当然，格林先生，你一定知道你做了还是没做。 Surely, mr green, you must know whether you did or you didn't.
这又有什么关系呢?我觉得你太…一定有个合理的解释。 What does it matter, anyway? I think you're being very ru... There must be some quite ordinary explanation.
嗯，当然…这是荒谬的。这玩意儿不可能出现在那里。 Well, of course it... It's ridiculous. The thing can't have grown there.
希尔先生，请您查明这是怎么回事? Mr hill, will you please find out what this is all about?
是的，先生。格林，跟财务部核实一下。 Yes, sir. Green, check with the accounts department.
当然可以。把订单号给他们。 Of course. Take them the order number.
嗯，很好，先生。马上，先生。3-7-8-2-53-7-8-2-5 3-7-8-2-53-7-8-2-5 Uh, very good, sir. Right away, sir. 3-7-8-2-53-7-8-2-5 3-7-8-2-53-7-8-2-5.
我很抱歉。我真的不该问这些问题。 I'm so sorry. I really shouldn't start asking questions.
-恰恰相反。我们去吃午饭吗? -嗯嗯。 - On the contrary. Shall we lunch? - Yes.
我觉得你什么都见过了。 I think you've seen just about everything.
是的，我想我见过了。 Yes, I think I have.
3-7-8-2-5 3-7-8-2-5
在这儿。 here it is.
£40007 ? £40007?
-这些钱花在什么上面?-氢，长官，重氢。 - But spent on what? - Hydrogen, sir. Heavy hydrogen.
这绝对是胡说八道! This is absolute nonsense!
哦，看在上帝的份上! Oh, for heaven's sake!
我想以材料和设计为目标， 结合古老的英国手工织布机的优点和简约， 以及佛兰芒或普罗旺斯的颜色和火焰。
-现在，如果我有额外的10万… -打扰一下，先生 -午饭后再谈，希尔 Now, if I had an extra 100,000... - Excuse me, sir. - After lunch, hill.
-非常紧急。-午饭后，希尔。 - It's very urgent. - After lunch, hill.
我说到哪儿了? Now, where was I?
你不能让我们妨碍你做任何重要的事。 Well, you mustn't let us keep you from anything vital.
不，没什么大事。没什么重要的。 No, it's nothing. Nothing at all.
怎么了，迈克尔? What is it, Michael, hm?
没什么。请见谅，可以吗? It's nothing. Excuse me, will you, please?
我告诉他这跟我没关系。 Well, I told him it was nothing to do with me.
-威尔金斯先生! -咋了? - Mr Wilkins! - Yes?
科兰先生找你。他在财务部。 Mr corland wants you. He's in accounts.
哈里森先生! Mr Harrison!
他们也想要见你，在财务部。 They want you too, in accounts.
原谅我。你能告诉我科兰先生在哪里吗? Excuse me. Could you tell me where mr corland is, please?
斯特拉顿！科兰先生找你！ Stratton! Mr corland wants you!
不，科兰先生，你不能解雇我。因为我辞职了。 No, mr corland, you're not firing me. I resign.
我一句假话也没有。 I'm not a cheat nor a swindler.
我这么做是因为我别无选择。 I did what I did because there was no other way.
但在剑桥，他们给了我一等奖学金和学位。 But at Cambridge they gave me a first and a fellowship.
要不是他们目光如此短浅，我还会在那里。 I would be there still, if they hadn't been so shortsighted.
就像你和其他我服务过的人一样。 Just as you are and all the others I've worked for.
但总有一天会出现一个真正有远见的人。 But one day there'll be someone with real vision.
他会给一个实验室给我。 I shall have a laboratory given to me.
一个配备现代化设备的实验室。 A proper laboratory with really modern equipment.
还有我自己的助手。不，别打断我。 And assistants of my own. No, don't interrupt me.
正是像你这样心胸狭窄的人挡住了我前进的道路。 It's small minds like yours that stand in the way of progress.
但这件事太重要了，比你更重要… But this is too big a thing, bigger than you...
看来你已经被炒了六次鱿鱼了。 I see you've been discharged from your last six positions.
- 是七次。 -哦。 - Seven. - Oh.
—也许你该换个环境…… —哦，不，一定得是纺织厂。 Oh, well, perhaps a change of environment might... Oh, no, it must be a textile mill.
—我看到伯恩利工厂有个空缺，但是… —伯恩利工厂？ —对，但是…… —他们有研究实验室，不是吗? I see there's a vacancy at the birnley mill, but... - Birnleys? - Yes, but... They have a research lab, haven't they?
恐怕这不符合你的条件。 I'm afraid this hardly suits your qualifications.
-他们想要一个工人。-哦，那很适合我。 - They want a works labourer. - Oh, that'll suit me.
—你就把它放那儿吧！—对不起。 - That's a nice place to leave it! - Sorry.
—不好意思。—没事。 - Sorry. - Don't mention it.
—你装得太重了。—有吗? - You've got it loaded too heavy. - Have I?
你可以把它放下，这样你就能看到顶部了。 You want to leave it so you can see over the top.
哦。是的，当然。谢谢。 Oh. Yes, of course. Thanks.
—你新来的？—呃……是的。 - New, aren't you? - Er... yes.
-从没在工厂工作过? -哦，工作过，好几次。 - Never worked in a mill before? - Oh, yes, several.
我知道。离开学校，做第一份没有前途的工作。 I know. Leave school, into the first blind-alley job that comes along.
年纪大了。再换一个又一个的工作。 Too old for that. Into another and another.
直到三十岁，还是没能混出头 By the time you're 30, what are you?
漂浮在利润洪流上的泡沫。 Flotsam floating on the flood tide of profits.
这就是资本主义对你的意义。 There's capitalism for you.
事实并非如此。 It wasn't quite like that.
我获得了剑桥大学的学位。 I got a scholarship to Cambridge.
但你没有学校的老领带。 But you hadn't got the old school tie.
噢你别说了。你这是在歧视我。 Oh, you can't tell me. Discrimination.
我见识过很多歧视。你要带这些东西去哪？ I've seen plenty. Where were you going with this lot?
我想他们管这叫卸货区。 The loading bay, I think they call it.
反正你走错路了。是那里。 You were going the wrong way, anyhow. It's down there.
茶歇时间到。我们走吧。 Tea up. Better leave it.
-哦，茶歇？不，谢谢。我想我宁愿…… -茶歇时间！这是工人阶级好不容易争取来的。 Oh, tea? No, thanks. I think I'd rather... Tea break! We had to fight for it.
等会。 Just a moment.
呃…最好让我们帮你。这机器很宝贝的。 Look, er... we'd better help you with it. It's very delicate.
是的，先生。皮特，帮我一下。 Yes, sir. Pete, give us a hand with this.
给这些先生们拿些工作服。 And get these gentlemen some overalls.
西德去哪儿了？西德！ Well, where's sid? Sid!
—西德！—不，不，完全错了。 - Sid! - No, no, quite wrong.
西德！ Sid!
—要把它送去哪里？—去实验室。 - Where's it got to go? - Up to the lab.
—这是一个电子…电唱机……—是电子显微镜。 - It's an electro... electrola... - An electron microscope.
啊，终于来了！ Ah, at last!
我们最好去检查一下。 We'd better go and check this over.
嗯，这东西做得真不错。 Mm, it's a beautiful job.
不，不，在你打开投影仪之前你必须把枪丝关掉， 否则你可能会让4千伏的电压穿过阴极，把它炸成碎片。 No, nol you must have the gun filament off before you switch on the projector, otherwise you're liable to put 4.000 volts through the cathode and blow it to bits.
当然。 Quite.
我觉得这就是试样区。 That's the specimen stage, I suppose.
中间对齐部分才是试样区。 The intermediate alignment section. This is the specimen stage.
当然。 Of course.
似乎没问题。如果局长满意，我们就走。 It seems to be all right. If the chief's satisfied, we'll go.
在我们掌握它之前，您能否抽出点时间指导一下呢？ I don't suppose you could spare someone for a while, just till we get the hang of it?
—什么，我吗？—不一定是您自己。 - What, me? - Well, not necessarily you yourself.
您的助手代劳也可以。 One of your assistants, perhaps.
哦，我明白了。 Oh, I see.
好吧,我……我想也许我能行。 Well, I... 1 think perhaps I might manage it.
事实上，我很特别方便。 In fact, it might be quite convenient.
您确定您不太…忙吗? You sure you're not too, er... busy?
—当然我是有点事，但您能让我坐下吗？长椅的一角也行 —当然。你去拿张椅子，好吗，威尔逊? —There are a few things, of course, but if while I'm here, you could let me have a corner of a bench... —Oh, certainly, certainly. Er... see to that, will you, Wilson?
我不能说我很有把握。 I couldn't say, I'm sure.
甜心，告诉她，可以周五来给钱。 All right, love. Tell her she can pay it Friday.
他今天早上什么也没说。 He didn't say nothing this morning.
希德，这是怎么回事？哈利说你丢了工作。 Sid, what's all this? Harry says you've quit.
哦,是的,是的。 Oh, yes, yes.
-为什么? -你看，我… -你没被解雇？ -哦，没有没有 - Why? - Well, you see, I... - You didn't get the sack? - Oh, no, no, no.
—到底发生了什么？ —我得到了另一份工作。 - Then what happened? - I've got the chance of another job.
—在哪里工作？ -从某种意义上说，还是在伯恩利工厂。 - Where? - At birnleys too, in a way.
—你没被辞退？ —对，也不对。 - You haven't quit, then? - Yes and no.
我得到了在实验室工作的机会。 I got the chance of working in the laboratory.
-是更好的工作?-哦，是的，非常喜欢。 - It's a better job? - Oh, yes, much.
-还有更多的钱?-我不会得到报酬的。 - And more money? - I shan't actually get paid for it.
什么？走着瞧！你这工贼。哼！ What? We'll see about that! Scab labour. Huh!
我最好让工会知道这件事。 The works committee had better hear about this.
-但我不想拿钱。-不想? - But I don't want to get paid. - Not want to?
我不管你想不想拿到钱!你必须得到报酬! I don't care whether you want to get paid or not! You've got to get paid!
哦，你不能这么做。它会毁掉一切。 Oh, you mustn't do that. It'll ruin everything.
这只会持续几个星期。我向你保证。 It's only for a few weeks. I promise you.
你打算怎么挣钱? What are you going to do for money?
我正想跟你说呢，华生太太。 I was going to speak to you about that, mrs Watson.
我知道这有点过分，但如果我能欠你几周房租…… 只欠房租。您不用提供伙食。 I know it's a lot to ask, but if I could owe you the rent for a couple of weeks... Only the rent. I shan't need any food.
—你不需要食物? —哦，我会去其他地方找吃的。 - You'll not need food? - Oh, I'll get that somewhere.
你当然可以留下，斯特拉顿先生。 Of course you can stay, mr Stratton.
非常感谢。 Thanks very much indeed.
希德，你有麻烦了吗? Sid, are you in trouble?
不。一切都很好。 No. Everything's fine.
我已经……我在邮局拿了些钱。 I've... got some money in the post office.
不是很多，但如果你需要的话可以给你。 Not very much, but you could have it if you need it.
我在实验室里能拿到大部分我需要的东西， 但如果我需要一些小玩意，我会告诉你的。 I can get most of what I need at the lab, but if there are a few oddments, I'll let you know.
谢谢。 Thanks.
随时找我。 Any time.
迈克尔，你没有从我父亲那得到钱，我甚至更高兴。 I'm even glad, Michael, you get no money from father.
好吧。我可以更自由地说， 我们想什么时候，结婚就什么时候结婚。 All right. I'm freer to say we'll get married as soon as you like.
你……你人很好，但我不会让你这么做的。 You're... you're very sweet, but I'm not going to let you.
什么意思，迈克尔? What do you mean, Michael?
我可不想一时冲动让你嫁给我。 I wouldn't dream of letting you marry me in a fit of temper.
除非你能完全冷静下来。 Not till you can do it in perfectly cold blood.
好了，我得走了。 Well, I must be off.
我得另寻出路了。 I have to look around in some other direction.
—爸爸…… —我以为你已经走了，达芙妮。 - Daddy... - I thought you'd gone, Daphne.
父亲，我知道你对迈克尔的看法。 Father, I know what you think about Michael.
你以为他只想要我的钱。 You think all he wants is my money.
确实。 Hm mine.
不过你这次错了。 Well, it just so happens you're wrong.
他会找到别的方法去做他想做的事。 He's going to find some other way to do all the things he wants.
—好耶！—他还是想跟我在一起。 - Splendid! - And he still wants me.
如果你喜欢他，达芙妮，那我很高兴。 Well, if you want him, Daphne, then I'm very glad.
现在你会改变对他的看法了吗? So, now will you change your mind about him?
如果这意味着我在看到他工厂的现状后 还会投资他的话，那我没有。 Well, if that means will I invest in him in spite of what I've seen of his mills, no.
就因为这里有个疯子，你就怪他。 Just because there was a lunatic in the place, you blame him.
-这可能发生在任何人身上。-比如在伯恩利工厂? - It might have happened to anyone. - In the birnley mills, for instance?
我受够了伯恩利工厂以及与之相关的一切。 I'm sick of the birnley mills and everything connected with them.
我越早离开家，我就越高兴。 And the sooner I leave home, the happier I shall be.
对不起。 Sorry.
嘿!等等! Hey! Wait!
哦,嗯,嗯。 Hm, hm, hm.
好吧,好吧。 Well, all right.
啊,斯特拉顿。关于这个，我不太明白你的观点。 Ah, mr Stratton. I don't quite see your point about this.
爸爸，等一下。我… Daddy, just a minute. I...
伯恩利小姐! Miss birnley!
-请不要告诉你父亲。-所以你现在为他工作了 - Please don't tell your father. - So, you're working for him now.
多好。他知道吗? How nice. Does he know?
我等不及要告诉他。 I can't wait to tell him.
—伯恩利小姐！不，伯恩利小姐！ —下车！ - Miss birnley! No, miss birnley! - Get off!
再给我两天时间，一天也行。这比什么都重要。 Just give me two more days. One, even. It's more important than anything.
它将震惊世界! It's going to astound the world!
看。你知道氨基酸残基聚合的问题吗? Look. You know about the problem of polymerising amino-acid residues?
你说什么? What did you say?
你知道什么是长链分子吗? Look, do you know what a long-chain molecule is?
一个什么? A what?
你知道什么是分子吗? Do you know what a molecule is?
不。 No.
-像原子一样的东西?- 是的! - Something like an atom? - That's it!
原子粘在一起。在这种情况下，就像一条长链。 Atoms stuck together. In this case, like a long chain.
棉花和丝绸以及所有的天然纤维都是由这些链组成的。 Now, cotton and silk and every natural fibre is made up of these chains.
最近，我们学会了用更长的链来制造人造纤维， 比如……人造丝和尼龙。 And recently we've learned to make artificial fibres with even longer chains such as, um... rayon and nylon.
你听说过尼龙吗? You've heard of nylon?
氨基酸残基和碳水化合物分子。 Of amino-acid residues and carbohydrate molecules.
都含有离子基团。这真的非常简单。 Both containing ionic groups. It's really perfectly simple.
我相信我已经找到了正确的催化剂来促进 肽链末端的活性基团和碳水化合物之间的相互作用， I believe I've got the right catalyst to promote interaction between the reactive groups at the end of the peptide chains and the carbohydrate combination,
而离子基团的电荷会使链交联， 并赋予有价值的弹性性质。 while the charges of the ionic groups will cross-link the chains and confer valuable elastic properties.
在高温高压下…然后给出一种熔融的液体， 这样就有很大的可能性…… “聚合”，赋予一个足够长的自然分子 At high temperature and pressure... "And give a molten liquid so that there is a great probability of... "Polymerisation, "to give a natural molecule of a length great enough
“授予可纺性”。 "to confer spinnability."
只是想在床上读点东西。 Just wanted something to read in bed.
晚安，爸爸。 Night, daddy.
好吧，毕竟，我究竟能做些什么呢? Well, after all, how the devil can I do anything about it?
这是什么? What's this?
嘿! Hey!
给，我需要这个! Here, I need that!
非常抱歉。这很重要。 Terribly sorry. It's very important.
—啊。 —等下。这个是我用的。 - Ah. - Just a minute. I'm using that.
-这是怎么回事?-我要见伯恩利先生。 - What's all this? - I've got to see mr birnley.
-斯特拉顿先生，怎么了?-霍斯金斯先生，成功了! - Mr Stratton, what's the matter? - Mr hoskins, it's worked!
-我成功了! -成功什么了? - I've done it! - Done what?
纤维形成分子中的放射性基团 没有催化内部重排，一点也没有。 The radioactive groups in the fibre-forming molecules haven't catalysed the internal rearrangement, not in the least.
我认为聚合会在空间上受阻。 I thought the polymerisation would be sterically hindered.
但不是。我的笔记在哪里? 呃…待会儿见。我要见伯恩利先生。 - But it wasn't. Where are my notes? - Mr Stratton... Er... I'll see you later. I've got to see mr birnley.
-你不能这么做。-我成功了!我做到了! - You can't do that. - I've done it! I've done it!
阻止他!阻止他! Stop him! Stop him!
别让他走!别让他走! Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
这里是护士嘉玛吉。 Nurse gamage.
我要见伯恩利先生! I've got to see mr birnley!
你被解雇了，明白吗?被解雇了! You're fired you understand? Fired!
你不能解雇我!我不在这里工作! You can't fire me! I don't work here!
—什么？ —是的。他不在这工作。 - What? - That's right. He doesn't.
现在,那么。 Now, then.
啊，姐妹！到这里来。 Ah, sister! Come here.
-怎么了? -他疯了，这就是问题所在。 - What's the trouble? - He's mad, that's the trouble.
他需要强力镇定剂。 A strong sedative, that's what he needs.
难以置信。 Fantastic.
太荒诞了。 Utterly fantastic.
-显然是个疯子。-是的，先生，确实很奇怪。 - A lunatic, obviously. - Yes, sir. Very odd, indeed.
我要见伯恩利先生。 Look, I want to see mr birnley.
我不知道他们其他的人在说什么。 I can't get any sense out of the rest of them.
—这非常重要。—你的名字? - It's terribly important. - Your name?
我叫斯特拉顿。西德尼·斯特拉顿。 My name, it's Stratton. Sidney Stratton.
—我在工厂工作，真是。只是我…… —你有预约吗? —没有，但你看，我知道… —你最好事先约个时间。 I work at the mill. That is, I did work at the mill. Only I... - You have an appointment? - No, but you see, I know that... It would have been better had you made an appointment.
伯恩利先生现在很忙。一个会议。 Mr birnley's busy now. A meeting.
-但是我不能预约。-对不起。 - But I couldn't make an appointment. - Sorry.
写信或打电话。 Write a letter or telephone.
没得商量。 There's no question of it.
—但是，伯恩利先生… —我们之间确实没问题，但股东们会怎么说呢? But, mr birnley... It's all very well between these four walls, but what are the shareholders going to say?
花了八千三英镑置办杂物？ £8,300 for sundries?
什么杂物? What sundries?
戴维森随时都会到。 Davidson will be here at any moment.
他应该能回答这个问题。 Now, he should be able to answer that.
伯恩利先生在等你。 Oh, mr birnley's expecting you.
不！让我解释一下！ No, please, listen. Let me explain!
拜托!拜托! Please! Please!
-这是怎么回事?-哦，没什么。 - What's all this? - Oh, it's nothing.
请把这个交给伯恩利先生。我保证他会想见我的。 Please give this to mr birnley. I promise you he'll want to see me.
我希望我的项目经理知道这是怎么回事， 戴维森，我不认为8000英镑是件小事。 I expect my works manager to know everything, Davidson, I should hardly call £8,000 a detail.
从工程号来看，伯恩利先生， 霍斯金斯一定知道是怎么回事。 Judging by the job numbers, mr birnley, hoskins must know.
-谁是霍斯金斯? -你的研究主管，先生。 - Well, who's hoskins? - Your head of research, sir.
你能找到他的私人电话号码吗，还是说我太高看你了? Well, can you find his private number, or is it too much to hope?
哦，搞快点。 Oh, do try.
—这怎么可能呢?我把它们拿过来了。但是… —让我跟他说。 How can it be impossible? I've got them here. But... Let me speak to him.
-哦，是你。 -你好。你实验成功了吗? - Oh, it's you. - Hello. Have you done it?
-是的，但我… -请进。 - Yes, I have, but I... - Come right in.
看。我在问你一个简单的问题。 Look. Listen, I'm asking you a simple question.
怎么了，努森? What is it, knudsen?
不，我不在乎他叫什么。我想知道他…… No, I don't care what his name is. I want to know what he...
很好。你必须找到他，把他送到这里来。 Very well, then. You must find him and send him up here.
不，不，当然不行。叫他走开。 No, no, certainly not. Tell him to go away.
你说不能是什么意思? What do you mean, you can't?
你一定知道他的地址。 Well, you must know his address.
见鬼，他只是个雇员。 Why, hang it all, he's an employee.
你在这儿！他叫你赶紧离开这儿。 Now, look here. He said to go away.
她去找他去了。真的，她真的去了。 She's gone to fetch him. Really, she has.
达芙妮，你疯了吗? Daphne, have you gone mad?
达芙妮，我正在开一个非常艰难的会议， 我不知道你在说什么! Daphne, I'm in the middle of a very difficult meeting, and I don't know what you're talking about!
如果你不听的话，怎么能理解我在说什么? How can you if you won't listen?
好吧，无论是什么事情，肯定可以等半个小时吧。 Well, whatever it is, surely it can wait for half an hour.
-你的朋友不可能那么重要… -不,不,不!请不要! This friend of yours can't be so important... No, don't, don't! Please, don't!
-啊，你终于来了! -不,达芙妮。 - Ah, there you are at last! - No, Daphne.
-听我说! -我不会听你的。 - Now, listen to me! - I will not listen to you.
-滚出我的房子! -我不走! - Get out of my house! - I won't!

你是个不负责任的小白痴。 You're an irresponsible young idiot.
-爸爸! -克努森! - Father! - Knudsen!
而你是个自大的忘恩负义的老混蛋。 And you're a pompous and ungrateful old ass.
-哦!克努森! -西德尼!不,父亲…… -克努森!克努森! - Oh! Knudsen! - Sidney! No, father... Knudsen! Knudsen!
-不，爸爸，听我说。 -克努森!克努森! - No, father, listen to me. - Knudsen! Knudsen!
如果你认为我会把我的发明给你，你一定是疯了! If you think I'd give my invention to you, you must be crazy!
即便你是世界上最后的人类!即便我喜欢你! Not if you were the last man on earth! Even if I liked youl!
即使你跪下来求我给你! Even if you went down on bended knees and begged me for it!
我一分钟也不想在你家里呆了! I won't stay in your house another minute!
你让自己出丑了，爸爸。 You've made an idiot of yourself, father.

他做了一种新布料。 He's made a new kind of cloth.
它永远不会变脏，而且可以永远保存。 It never gets dirty, and it lasts forever.
呃,那太荒唐了。 Well, that's ridiculous.
哦，是吗? Oh, it is, is it?
你知道什么是长链分子吗? Do you know what a long-chain molecule is?
你知道如果有一个无限长的， 具有最佳链间吸引力的链会发生什么吗? Do you know what happens if one makes one of infinite length, with optimum interchain attractions?
你知道这意味着什么吗? Do you know what it means?
也就是说，要想破坏纤维，你必须分裂分子。 It means that to break the fibre, you'd have to split the molecule.
这意味着，实际上，它将永远存在。 It means, for all practical purposes, it would last forever.
它的表面带有静电。 And it has a surface charge of static electricity.
它排斥污垢。 It repels dirt.
当然，这可能是无稽之谈。 That may be nonsense, of course.
也许他真的没做出来。也许他在胡说八道。 Maybe he hasn't really done it. Maybe he's talking through his hat.
但或许，他真的研制出来了。 On the other hand, maybe he has.
或许你只是在固执己见。 Maybe you're talking through yours.
重点是你根本不了解，你太固执了，你不可能了解的。 The point is, you don't know, and you're too pig-headed to find out.
8300英镑? £8,300?
他们一定会问问题。 They're bound to ask questions.
斯特拉顿，你马上和我一起去见史密斯先生。 Stratton, you're coming straightaway with me to see Mr.
啊，霍斯金斯。 Ah, hoskins.
我决定授权斯特拉顿先生在这里继续他的研究。 I've decided to authorise mr Stratton to continue his research here.
我相信你会给他他所需要的一切。 I'm sure I can rely on you to give him everything he needs.
-是的，先生 -你来了，西德尼。 - Yes, sir. - Well, there you are, Sidney.
好吧，你拿到了你的合同。 Well, you've got your contract.
你会得到你的设备。还有别的吗? And you'll get your equipment. Now, is there anything else?
-只有一件事。-什么事，孩子? - There is just one thing. - Yes, my boy?
我一直在想可能发生的连锁反应， 我觉得我们应该肃清一下实验室。 I've been thinking about the possibility of chain reactions, and I think probably we ought to clear the lab.
-肃清实验室? -只是以防万一。 - Clear the lab? - Only as a precaution.
-你是说，为了实验保密？ -对，太需要保密了。 - Secrecy, you mean? - That. That too.
你是个精明的孩子。你来处理，霍斯金斯。 You're a shrewd boy. See about that, hoskins.
这事完全不会走漏风声，即使在工厂里也无人知晓。 And you'll see that not a word gets out about this, even in the mills.
嗯，也许我们会给竞争对手们一个小小的惊喜。 Well, perhaps we shall have a little surprise to spring on our competitors.
是的。 Yes.
好了，这一刻终于来了。 Well, there we are.
我们现在试试好吗? 或者你认为我们应该等到午饭后? Shall we try it now? Or do you think we ought to wait until after lunch?
悉听尊便。 Whatever you say.
那就现在来试一试。 Let's have a go now.
哦，对不起。霍斯金斯先生在哪里? Oh, sorry. Mr hoskins?

噢,霍斯金斯先生。 Oh, mr hoskins.
早上好。我一开始不知道去哪找你。 Good morning. I didn't know where to find you at first.
这些账目您能看一下吗? Would you just ok these for accounts, please?
嗯。 Hm.
这似乎是一个惊人的数量。我…我想这是必要的。 It does seem an extraordinary amount. I... I suppose it's necessary.
我亲爱的国王…… My dear king...
它不应该是这样的。 It shouldn't have done that.
账目粗略估计有18,749英镑，先生。 Accounts have sent us a rough estimate, sir. £18,749.
嗯嗯。可能会更糟。 Mm-hm. Might be worse.
再加两千块来弥补对大楼的破坏。 Plus 2,000 to cover the damage to the building.
什么? What?
哦,我明白了。 Oh, I see.
-还有嘛? -是的,先生。 - Anything else? - Yes, sir.
放射性钍吗?他想要那个干什么? Radioactive thorium? Well, what does he want that for?
还有更多？呃，把门关上。 More? Er. Shut the door.
还有一场爆炸随时都有可能出现。 There's another one due at any moment.
这一切到底是为了什么？ What is it all for, exactly?
如果你问我，我会说那是为了很多蠢事。 It's a lot of tomfoolery if you ask me.
你好，我是霍斯金斯。 Hello, yes, hoskins here.
这里是《曼彻斯特每日快报》。 "Manchester daily express" here.
我们听说实验室发生了一些事故。 We heard there were some accidents in the laboratory.
我是说爆炸。我只是想知道这里面有没有故事。 Explosion. I just wondered if there was a story in it.
一定是什么愚蠢的谣言。 Must be some stupid rumour.
当然，我们正在做一些结构上的改动。 Of course, we are making some structural alterations.
但，其他就没什么了。 But... but that's all.
有个…… There's the
哦。又放烟花了。跟黑潭的烟花一样，弗兰克。 uh-oh. There go the fireworks again. Good as blackpool here, frank.
是啊，继续下去会有人受伤的。 Yeah, someone will get hurt if it goes on.
如果有人受伤，那一定是希德。是他在冒险。 If anyone does, it'll be sid. He's the one who's taking all the chances.
如果你真的是个工人代表的话， 你就应该给他一笔保险金。 And if you was any kind of a shop steward, you'd be getting him danger money.
他太需要了。 Fat lot he needs it.
他从工装裤里跳了出来， 找到了一份轻松的工作，还有一大笔钱。 Jumped out of his overalls into a cushy job pretty fast, and a cushy pay packet too.
不管他得到了什么，那都是他应得的。 Well, whatever he gets, he earns all right.
他是在帮伯恩利捞钱，否则他们不会雇他进去的。 It's birnley's pockets he's lining, or they wouldn't have pushed him into it.
他们很在乎他会不会尥蹶子不干了。 And a fat lot they care if he goes through the roof.
我也是。 Me too.
好，这次很有希望。 Well, here's hoping.
我必须坦率地承认我泄气了。 I must frankly admit that I'm discouraged.
非常气馁。 Very discouraged.
-不许任何人进来，长官 -我知道 - No one's allowed in, sir. - Yes, I know.
-这是斯特拉顿先生的命令 -这是伯恩利先生的命令 - Mr Stratton's orders, sir. - Mr birnley's orders.
-他给了我严格的禁令 -我不认为这适用于我们 - He gave me strict instructions, sir. - I hardly think that applies to us.
我们还在等什么? Well, what are we waiting for?
你愿意吗? Would you like to?
这很容易。 It's easy.
肯定起作用了。 It must have worked.
你刚才在这里吗? Were you here just now?
是的。怎么了?我亲爱的孩子，怎么了? Yes. Why? My dear boy, what's the matter?
没事。它刚刚成功了。 Nothing. It's just that it worked.
你的意思是……就在刚刚吗? Do you mean... just now?
斯特拉顿，你应该…戴维森! Stratton, you should have... Davidson!
哦。 Oh.
我们成功了，好了。看。 We've got it, all right. Look.
我们有答案了，伯恩利先生。我们现在可以开始了。 We've got the answer, mr birnley. We can go ahead now.
幸运的是，300摄氏度时出现了化学变化。 Fortunately there's a chemical change at 300 degrees centigrade.
了不起。 Quite remarkable.
我们必须在这方面做一些基础工作。 We shall have to do a little groundwork on that.
-七寸半。-七寸半。 - Seven and a half. - Seven and a half.
-就像你说的… - 35。 - Though as you say... - Thirty-five.
我们只需要变换中间体， 去代替羊毛、棉、麻等你们需要的任何商品。 We only need to vary the intermediates to make a substitute for wool, cotton, linen, whatever you please.
- 嗯，31。 - 31，当然，还有染色的问题。 - Yes, 31. - 31 and, of course, there's the question of dyeing.
不好意思。谢谢。 Excuse me. Thank you.
目前，纤维很难处理。 At the moment, the fibre's intractable.

左肩。 Left shoulder.
当聚合物还在熔体中时。 While the polymer is still in the melt.
- 嗯，七寸。- 七寸。 - Yes, seven. - Seven.
缝合没有困难。 There's no difficulty in stitching.
针会像往常一样简单地穿过织物。 The needle will simply pass through between the weave as usual.
如果他能给我这套衣服的纸样。 If he could let me have paper patterns of the suit.
纸样？ Paper patterns?
我得先做个模板，然后把这些零件剪出来给你。 I shall have to have templates made and get the pieces cut out for you.
好吧，如你所愿。我猜你不会希望我们把它们剪掉吧? Well, just as you wish. I suppose you wouldn't prefer us to cut them out?
哦，恐怕你是剪不断它们的。 Oh, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to.
进来。 Come in.
-有什么好笑的? -是这衣服。 - Well, what's funny about it? - It's just the suit.
看起来像是它穿着你一样。 It looks as if it's wearing you.
它还是有点亮。 It's still a bit luminous.
但它会慢慢消失的。 But it'll wear off.
-哦,不。——不是吗? - Oh, no. - No?
不，这让你看起来像个…穿着闪亮盔甲的骑士。 No, it makes you look like a... A knight in shining armour.
-你就是这样的。-我吗? - That's what you are. - Me?
你不明白这意味着什么吗? Don't you understand what this means?
全世界数以百万计的人天天做着苦差事， 忙着与污渍进行永无休止的必败之战。 Millions of people all over the world, living lives of drudgery, fighting an endless losing battle against shabbiness and dirt.

我的天啊。我……我认为，整个行业将会…… I'm very grateful to you, king. I... I think the... industry will be.
给我接约翰·科罗爵士。 Get me sir John kierlaw.
现在,现在,戴维森。 Now, now, Davidson.
不,肯定。 Hardly that, surely.
好吧，我和媒体的谈话一结束，我就想见各部门的领导。 Well, as soon as I have finished with the press, I should like to see the heads of all departments.
你好? Yes?
请稍等。 One moment, please.
我是约翰·科罗爵士。 It's sir John kierlaw.
约翰爵士……好吧。我将……我来跟他通话。 Sir John... All right. I'll... I'll speak to him.
——他在这里。——在这里吗? - He's here. - Here?

不，不，哮喘喷雾器。 No, no, the asthma atomiser.
现在，有个傻瓜发明了一种坚不可摧的布料。 Now, some fool has invented an indestructible cloth.
- 对吗? - 是的。 - Right? - Yes.
他在哪里?他想要多少钱? Where is he? How much does he want?
恐怕我们得先对付伯恩利先生。 I'm afraid we have mr birnley to contend with first.
据我所知，伯恩利先生打算生产并销售这种产品。 As I understand it, mr birnley intends to manufacture and market this product.
-当然。-你疯了吗? - Certainly. - Are you mad?
我认为这是我的责任。 Well, I consider it my duty to do it.
它会把一切都搞垮，甚至摧毁那些最底层的工人。 It'll knock the bottom out of everything, right down to the primary producers.
那些养羊的和种植棉花的人呢? What about the sheep farmers and the cotton growers?
-进口商和中间商。-甚至是大商店。 - The importers and the middlemen. - The big stores, even.
-会毁了他们所有人的! -安静。让我们抓住重点。 - It'll ruin all of them! - Quiet. Let us stick to the point.
我们可怎么办？ What about us?
好吧，我承认有些人可能会暂时受苦。 Well, I'll admit some individuals may suffer temporarily.
但我不会阻碍进步。 But I will not stand in the way of progress.
社会的福利必须放在第一位。 The welfare of the community must come first.
-反正你不会是受苦的那一个。 -迈克尔，你不应该这么说。 - You're not likely to suffer much. - Michael, that's unworthy of you.
约翰爵士，你肯定知道这是最大的进步。 Sir John, surely you realise this is the greatest step forward.
-进步？-是向绝境迈进。 - Step forward? - Over a precipice.
-意味着灾难。-灾难? - It means disaster. - Disaster?
珍妮纺纱机是灾难吗？是机械织机是灾难吗？ Was the spinning Jenny a disaster? Was the mechanical loom?
对那些没能操控它们的人来说，是灾难没错。 For those who didn't control them, yes.
他们还增加了这种衣服的产量。这必须中止。 Besides, they increased output. This will finish it.
刚到，先生。 Just arriving now, sir.
是他提出投诉的，不是吗? He's the one to make the complaint, isn't he?
呃,这是什么?游乐场时间嘛? Well, what's this? Worker's playtime?
-是西德! -看看是谁的车来了。 - It's sid! - Look whose car.
-西德! -你好,贝莎。你好。 - Sid! - Hello, Bertha. Hello.
-他们对你做了什么? -是我自己这么干的。 - What have they done to you? - Well, it's really what I've done.
我们会向媒体宣布的。 We are just going to announce it to the press.
-宣布什么? -我研制的新纤维。 - Announce what? - My new fibre.
小心！ Mind!
科兰先生，在伯恩利先生的办公室。 Mr corland. In mr birnley's office.
它永远不会脏吗?而且永不磨损? It never gets dirty? And never wears out?
没错。 That's right.
现在你觉得他怎么样啦? Now what do you think of him?
-你觉得他们会继续吗? -当然。 - You think they'll go ahead with it? - Certainly.
你太嫩了。 You're not even born yet.
你觉得其他这样的东西都去哪了? What do you think happened to all the other things?
那些永远不会变钝的剃须刀。 The razor blade that never gets blunt.
那些只靠水和其他物质就能运行的车。 And the car that runs on water, with a pinch of something in it.
不。他们绝对不会让你的东西上市的。 No. They'll never let your stuff on the market in a million years.
他说得对。既得利益者，会伸出垄断的黑手。 He's right, you know. Vested interests. The dead hand of monopoly.
我向你保证，根本不是那样的。一切都安排好了。 It's not like that at all, I assure you. Everything's organised.
我们今早会告诉媒体，然后继续前进。 We're telling the newspapers this morning, and then going right ahead.
但如果永远不会被穿破的话，我们就只用做一批衣服了。 But if this stuff never wears out, we'll only have one lot to make.
是啊。 That's right.
我到处找你。首先，我想道歉。 I've been looking everywhere for you. First of all, I want to apologise.
我见过天才，但却没认出来。 Didn't recognise a genius when I saw one.
-对不起，先生，我… -我刚从伯恩利先生那回来。 - Excuse me, sir. I... - I've just come from mr birnley.
他想让我澄清一两件事。 One or two things he asked me to straighten out.
真不错呢。我们再做六个月就“一劳永逸”了。 That's lovely. Six months' work and that'll be the lot.
全国的工厂都会关闭。 Every mill in the country will be laid off.
这是伯恩利的意思。希德不会发明那种东西的。 It's birnley's doing. Sidney wouldn't invent a thing like that.
我们得做点什么。 Something ought to be done about it.
一定会有办法的。把工会召集起来。 Something is gonna be done about it. Get the works committee together.
我不想太自私。 I don't want to be selfish about it.
稍后，我可能会提供许可给其他制造商。 Later on, I might be able to offer it to other manufacturers under licence.
你想断我们财路，并让自己大发横财! You want us to cut our throats, while you build up another fortune!
我能不能提醒一下，是我在掌握大局而非诸位 Well, may I point out that I control this process?
-是吗？ -当然。 - Do you? - Well, of course I do.
一些利欲熏心的细节，约翰爵士。 A sordid matter of details, sir John.
嗯? Well?
斯特拉顿第一次成功实验的日记。 Stratton's diary of his first successful experiment.
日期，9月15日。 Date, September 15th.
斯特拉顿和伯恩利先生的合同。 Stratton's contract with mr birnley.
日期，10月1日。 Date, October 1st.
约翰爵士…… Sir John...
我想他已经在来的路上了，但是…我去确认一下。 I expect he's on his way to us now, but, er... I'll just make sure.
工会?对不起，伯恩利先生很忙。 The works committee? I'm sorry, mr birnley's busy.
不。不，不，不，真的，我现在不能打断他。 No. No, no, no, really, I can't interrupt him now.
不!不!戴维森,等等!你不能去那里! No! No! Mr Davidson, wait! You can't go there!
呃…这是约翰爵士。这是克兰福德先生。 Er... sir John, kierlaw. Mr cranford.
-你好吗? -这是曼纳林先生。 - How do you do? - Mr mannering.
-你好吗? -这是柯兰先生，你认识的。 - How do you do? - Mr corland you know, of course.
先生们，这位是斯特拉顿先生。 This is mr Stratton, gentlemen.
-这是什么? -新合同。 - What's this? - A new contract.
签了吧，年轻人。 Sign it, young man.
旧的有什么问题吗? What was wrong with the old one?
你的发明太大了，西德尼。对于我的小工厂来说，太大了。 Well, this is a big thing, Sidney. Too big for one mill.
所以我决定把其他的绅士也请来。 And so I decided it was necessary to bring in these other gentlemen.
我明白了。 I see.
嗯? Yes?
伯恩利先生，是工会的人。他们说…… 'Mr birnley, it's the works committee. They say...'
-不，不，我很忙。 -急事! - no, no, I'm busy. - "It's urgent!
-是关于斯特拉顿先生的。 -伯恩利先生一会儿就会见他们。 - 'It's about mr Stratton.' - Mr birnley will see them later.
我想一切都安排妥当了。 I think it's all in order.
谢谢。 Thanks.
-噢，这真精致，我可以用吗？ -当然。 - Oh. That's ingenious. May I? - Of course.
这笔里有多少油、多少墨? How much petrol as against how much ink?
我真的不知道。 I really don't know.
还有一件事。威尔逊,我的助理。 There's just one thing. Wilson, my assistant.
他在这件事上帮了很大的忙，我希望他能得到一些功劳。 He's been a great help on this, I'd like him to get some of the credit.
当然可以。我们都认识到威尔逊先生的贡献的价值。 Of course. We all realise the value of mr Wilson's contribution.
我是说，研究结果公布的时候，我希望能提到他的名字。 I mean, when the results are published, I'd like his name to be mentioned.
当然，发布会可能会有一点延迟。 There may be a little delay in publication, of course.
延迟?哦。 Delay? Oh.
为什么? Why?
你看，西德尼，我们得等到合适的时机。 You see, Sidney, we have to wait till the right moment.
为什么不是现在呢? Why not now?
立即宣布的话，可能会破坏市场微妙的平衡。 To announce it right away might upset the delicate balance of the market.
会吗?那么当你开始卖这些东西的时候，会发生什么呢? Would it? But what happens when you begin to sell the stuff?
把这些问题留给我们，斯特拉顿先生。签了文件就行了。 Leave these problems to us, mr Stratton. Just sign the document.
约翰爵士说得对，西德尼。 Sir John's right, Sidney.
-你们还在进行生产吗? -西德尼，我… - You are going ahead with production? - Well, Sidney, I...
-我想仔细考虑一下。-年轻人，过来。 - I'd like to think this over. - Young man, come here.
我们把这个发明控制住。完全控制。 We need control of this discovery. Complete control.
如果你想要合同金额的两倍，我们会支付。 If you want twice the amount in that contract, we will pay it.
- 25万 -你们想要抑制它? - A quarter of a million. - To suppress it?
是的。 Yes.
原谅我。 Excuse me.
等等!现在你们都听着! Wait! Now listen, all of you!
西德尼!西德尼! Sidney! Sidney!
阻止他! Stop him!
这太过分了!不，不，等等。等等，请等等，你们所有人。 This is too much! No, no, no, wait. Wait, please, wait, all of you.
-“什么事，伯恩利先生?” -西德尼，不，不! - 'Yes, mr birnley?" - Sidney, no, no!
-你说什么，伯恩利先生? -约翰逊小姐，有个房间…阻止他! - I beg your pardon, mr birnley? - Miss Johnson, there's a room... Stop him!
别跑了! Stop that!
看这里。你不能…嘿! Look here. You can't... hey!
给我们半分钟! Half a minute!
阻止他!阻止他!阻止他! Stop him! Stop him! Stop him!
看在上帝份上，拦住他! For goodness sake, stop him!
-阻止他。他不能离开工厂。 -我们怎样才能阻止他呢? -通过武力。 Stop him. He he mustn't leave the mill - how can we stop him? - By force.
-用武力? -如何? - By force? - How else?
我不会诉诸暴力。 I will not resort to violence.
如果他卖给别人，他会毁了我们所有人。 If he sells to anybody else, he ruins us all.
那我们得跟那孩子讲道理。 Then we must reason with the boy.
他不在这里，我们怎么跟他讲道理? How can we reason with him when he's not here?
是的,先生? Yes, sir?
走这里,先生们。 This way, gentlemen.
哦,我很抱歉。不是这层楼! Oh, I'm sorry. Wrong floor!
他没事吧? Is he all right?
-是的。 -那太遗憾了。 - Yes. - Pity.
有他的消息吗? Any news of him?
他在伯恩利那里。 He's up at birnley's.
我怎么跟你说的?他正忙着捞金呢。 What did I tell you? Right in their pocket.
你没有权利那样说。也许他此刻孤立无援。 You've no right to talk like that. Perhaps he can't help himself.
-他们说他头痛。 -可不是嘛。 - They say he had a headache. - Aye, sticks out a mile.
伯恩利不愿见工会，希德也不敢见我们。 Birnley won't see the works committee and sid can't face us.
来了。 There.
-斯特拉顿先生住在这里? -是的，但是，呃… -现在他要和伯恩利先生住在一起。 - Mr Stratton lives here? - Yes, but, er... Now he's going to live with mr birnley.
我来取他的行李。还有，给你两周的房租。 I've come to collect his baggage. Also, to give you two weeks' rent.
现在谁是对的呢?我早就告诉你了。 Now who's right? It's just as I told you.
他正忙着抱大腿呢。 Sitting right in their laps.
好吧，给我具体的数据。下降到什么程度了? Well, give me some figures. Fallen to what?
4697? 4697?
不。不，不卖。 No, no, no, no. No, don't sell.
不，当然不是。里面没有一句是真的。 No, of course not. There's not a word of truth in it.
是的,是的。我将……在这里等候进一步通知。 Yes, yes. I'll be on... On here till further notice.
好吧，这只是个开始。 Well, that's just the beginning.
你好? Hello, yes?
是吗?加尔各答?明天价格会一落千丈。 Yeah? Calcutta? Tomorrow'll be a nosedive.
就因为这些谣言。这是荒谬的。一定是有内鬼。 Just on these rumours. It's absurd. There must have been a leakage.
-是你开的头！ -责怪我是没有用的。 - Well, you started the first one! - It's no good blaming me for this.
约翰爵士是对的!让我们直奔主题。好吧，让他接电话。 Sir John's right! Let's keep to the point. All right, put him on.
只有一件事能整合市场， 那就是彻底而永久地压制这项发明。 There's only one thing that'll pull the market together, and that is a denial backed with suppression, total and permanent.
-你好,mottram。-但如何才能做到? - Hello, mottram. - But how?
我们已经给了他25万了。 We've already offered him a quarter of a million.
我们不能永远把他关在这里。这个国家有法律。 We can't keep him here forever. There are laws in the country.
我懂了。也许我该跟他谈谈，让他定个价。 I've got it. Maybe I should talk to him, let him name his own price.
-我想没有，迈克尔。我将…… -先生们!先生们。 - I think not, Michael. I will... - Gentlemen! Gentlemen.
克努森吗?他的门是锁着的。钥匙不见了。 Knudsen? His door's locked. The key's gone.
钥匙在我这，伯恩利小姐。 I have it, miss birnley.
对不起，伯恩利小姐。 I'm sorry, miss birnley.
没人能进去，也没人能出来。伯恩利先生的指示。 No one goes in, he doesn't come out. Mr birnley's instructions.
花那么多钱去说服他是没有意义的! There's no sense in pursuing this boy with money!
我们都知道这对他毫无意义! We've all seen it means nothing to him!
那还有什么别的办法? What else could?
是的,是的,是的。让他接电话，好吗? Yes, yes, yes. Put him on, will you?
女人? Women?
我觉得他不是那种人。 He didn't seem to me to be the type.
-但这种人通常都是那种… -确实如此。 -但如果我们能找到他的一个朋友。 It's often that type that, um... Very true. But if we could just find a friend of his.
我是说，一个知道怎么跟他说话最好的人。 I mean, someone who knew the best way to talk to him.
父亲?这是怎么了?你对西德尼做了什么? Father? What's going on? What have you been doing to Sidney?
真的，达芙妮，这不关你的事。 Really, Daphne, it's no concern of yours.
我想知道你到底对西德尼做了什么。 I want to know just exactly what you've done to Sidney.
-你能不能…? -对不起，爸爸。 - Will you please...? - I'm sorry, father.
这是一次非常重要的商务会议。 This is a very important business meeting.
伯恩利小姐，请稍等。 Oh, miss birnley, just a minute.

嗯…伯恩利小姐，我想你很了解斯特拉顿先生吧? Um... miss birnley, I take it you know mr Stratton quite well?
有多了解? How well?
-我们是很好的朋友。为什么不呢? -为什么不呢? - We're very good friends. Why not? - Why not?
这可能对我们很有用。 It may be very useful to us.
-我想我告诉过你… -“伯恩利先生?” - I thought I told you... - 'Mr birnley?'
哦，找你的。 oh, it's for you.
-你好? -坐下，伯恩利小姐。 - Hello? - Sit down, miss birnley.
不，戴维森，我不能。 No, Davidson, I cannot.
伯恩利小姐，我们想买下斯特拉顿先生新发明的专利。 Miss birnley, we're trying to buy the world rights to mr Stratton's new discovery.
-但他似乎不信任我们。 -不信任吗?为什么不呢? - But he doesn't seem to trust us. - Doesn't he? Why not?
伯恩利小姐，你是实业家的女儿。 Miss birnley, you're the daughter of an industrialist.
你必须意识到，不顾后果地利用任何新东西 都会破坏脆弱的贸易平衡。 You must realise how reckless exploitation of anything new would upset the delicate balance of trade.
你明白吗? You understand that?
我开始明白了。 I am beginning to.
好。好。 Good. Good.
你想阻止这项发明。 You want to suppress it.
但是，先生们，如果你们不能说服他，为什么我可以呢? But, gentlemen, if you aren't able to persuade him, why should I be able to?
呃…所有男人都是很容易受影响的，伯恩利小姐。 Er... all men are susceptible, miss birnley.
呃…不用说，你是个很有魅力的女孩。 I... I need hardly tell you that you're a very attractive girl.
谢谢。 Thank you.
告诉他们，我明天去见他们。 Tell them I'll see them tomorrow.
迈克尔，你说呢? Well, Michael, what do you say?
我们陷入绝境了，达芙妮，呃…整个行业都是如此。 It's a desperate situation, Daphne, for the, um... whole industry.
是的。是的，我开始明白了。 Yes. Yes, I'm beginning to realise that.
没必要解释利害关系了。 There's no need to explain what's at stake.
-我们已经给了斯特拉顿25万了。你自己看吧。 -我当然可以。 We've already offered Stratton a quarter of a million, - you can see for yourself. - I can, indeed.
不过既然说到价格，我能得到什么好处呢? But, since we're on the subject of price, what do I get out of it?
-伯恩利小姐! -达芙妮! - Miss birnley! - Daphne!
在这方面我没有多少经验， 但我一直知道这份工作的报酬相对较高。 I haven't had much experience with these sort of things, but I've always understood it was comparatively well paid.
-现在，伯恩利小姐…… -这不是开玩笑的事。 - Now, miss birnley... - This isn't anything to joke about.
我建议2000英镑。 I suggest 2,000.
你对我的评价是不是太低了? Aren't you rating my value a little low?
5000不是更公平吗? Wouldn't 5,000 be fairer?
-5000。成交。 -同意。 - 5,000. Agreed. - Agreed.
很高兴和你做生意，约翰爵士。 It's a pleasure to do business with you, sir John.
达芙妮? Well, Daphne?
也是时候了! And about time too!
我想和你谈谈，西德尼。 I want to talk to you, Sidney.
我从没想过你会站在他们那边。 I never thought you would be on their side.
你可能不相信我，西德尼，但我想为你好。 You may not believe me, Sidney, but I want what's best for you.
我…我和你一样不喜欢这样。 I... don't like this any more than you do.
我讨厌这个城市。 I hate this town.
工厂。一切。 The mill. Everything.
讨厌那些只想着赚钱的人。 People who think of nothing but money-grubbing.
你不这样觉得吗? Don't you feel like that?
是的。 Yes.
我想离开这里，西德尼。 I want to get away, Sidney.
我想看看这个肮脏小镇以外的世界。 I want to see something of the world beyond this dirty little town.
在有人知道如何生活的地方，为自己创造生活。 To make a life for myself where there are people who know the way to live.
也许可以去意大利。或者法国? Italy, maybe. France?
-那你为什么不呢? -我不能。 - Well, why don't you? - I can't.
但是你可以。 But you could.
你可以带我去。 And you could take me.
如何? How?
我知道他们给了你什么。 I know what they offered you.
你可以靠这个度过余生。 You could live the rest of your life on it.
去任何地方。你喜欢怎么做就怎么做。 Go anywhere. Do as you please.
如果你想要我…我也会来。 And if you want me... I'd come too.
怎么了? What's wrong?
我很抱歉。不。 I'm sorry. No.
即使是我也无法说服你? Not even if it means me?
不行。 No.
谢谢你,西德尼。 Thank you, Sidney.
谢什么? What for?
如果你答应了，我就会掐死你了。 If you'd said yes, I'd have strangled you.
现在，我们得把那套衣服送到媒体面前去。 Now, we've got to get that suit to the newspapers.
给他们看，告诉他们整件事的来龙去脉。 Show it to them and tell them the whole story.
把一切都曝光，他们就覆水难收了。 That will blow the lid off everything, and they'll never get it back on.
但如何可能呢? But how?
你愿意赌上性命吗? Would you stake your life on this?
你可以向媒体断然否认。 You can issue a categorical denial to the press.
说这种物质并不存在。 The stuff does not exist.
它从未被发明过。这是不可能的。 It has never been invented. It never could be.
这里没有任何恐慌。 There is no panic here whatsoever.
伯恩利先生会证实这个消息。 Certainly mr birnley will confirm that.
不,不,不。天啊,戴维森。 No, no, no. Good heavens, Davidson.
我告诉过你，用你自己的方式对付他们。 I told you to deal with them in your own way.
没错，伯恩利先生。但他们上街了。 Yes, mr birnley. They've come out.
-什么? -工人们罢工了。 - What? - On strike.
罢工吗? Strike?
他们把整个工厂都搬空了。 They've got the whole mill out.
我试着给你打电话，但你一直忙个不停。 I tried to get you on the telephone, but you kept on being engaged.
你最好把他们弄回来，否则一切都会崩塌的。 You better get them back, otherwise there'll be a landslide.
-崩塌? -伯恩利先生，我……天哪! - Landslide? - Now, mr birnley, I... Good heavens!
那就去做点什么吧! Then go and do something!
他们想让我们保证不会投入生产。 They want a guarantee that we're not going into production.
-但我们确实不打算生产。-我们就是想要阻止生产啊。 - But we're not intending to. - That's what we're out to prevent.
是的,我知道。但他们不会相信任何人的话。 Yes, I know. But they won't take one's word for anything.
哦，这太疯狂了! Oh, this is insanity!
我的意思是，他们害怕失业，所以他们罢工了。 I mean, they're afraid of being out of work and so they down tools.
我该怎么办呢? What am I to do?
让他们上来。到房子那边去。我会和他们谈谈。 Get them up here. Up to the house. I'll talk to them.
你还在等什么? Well, what are you waiting for?
但我们能给他们什么保证呢?我们不能控制事态。 But what guarantee can we give them? We don't control the thing.
哦，我不知道。 Oh, I don't know.
约翰爵士…… Sir John...
只不过是五便士的事。你真不可理喻。 It's only a matter of five pence. You're very unreasonable.
-原谅我… -好吧。 - Excuse me... - Right.
不，不，你能给我五便士吗? No, no, can you let me have five pence?
-我没铜钱。-不是铜钱也行。 - No coppers at all. - Well, more would do.
我有3分钱和11分钱，但我想要4分钱和4分钱的。 I've got three and eleven, but I want four and four.
我得去曼彻斯特了。这对我至关重要。 I've got to get to Manchester. It's vital.
我一做完就可以还你钱。比你给我的钱还多。 I could pay you back as soon as I've done it. More than pay you back.
我可以给你100英镑。我的房子里有些钱。 I could give you £100. I've got some money at my digs.
那你就去家里拿吧。 Better get it, then.
约翰公爵或者其他人，或许是弗兰克。 Kierlaw or anyone else. And frank'll.

希德! Sid!
希德，我想和你谈谈! Sid, I want to talk to you!
现在不能说话。我得找到一先令。 Can't talk now. I've got to find a shilling.
希德，你要去哪？你的房间已经被转租了。 Sid, where are you going? Your room's let.
-花瓶在哪里?-你是谁? - Where's that vase? - Who are you?
希德，房间租给了一个老家伙。 Sid, the room's let to some old geezer.
哦，请原谅我。 Oh, I beg your pardon.
发生什么事了？请你离开这个房间好吗？ What's going on? Will you please kindly leave this room?
-哦，希德。-对不起。 - Oh, sid. - Sorry.
希德，我就知道你没错。我知道他们试图软化你。 Sid, I knew you'd turn out right in the end. They tried to soften you up.
-是的，他们把我锁在阁楼里了。-你不必说我也知道。 - Yes, they locked me in the attic. - Oh, you can't tell me.
人的生命对他们来说毫无意义，但你成功逃脱了。 Human life means nothing to 'em, but you got away.
-是的，我现在得走了。-别担心。 - Yes, and I must go now. - Don't you worry.
他们不会再找你麻烦了。我现在要去参加一个会议。 They won't get at you again. I'm going up to a meeting there now.
我要告诉他们!你是我们多好的王牌啊! Wait till I tell them! What a trump card!
是的,谢谢,贝莎。8点13分有一趟去曼彻斯特的火车。 Yes, thanks, Bertha. There's a train to Manchester at 813.
曼彻斯特?去干嘛? Manchester? What for?
把整个故事都告诉报纸。 To give the newspapers the whole story.
等一下。什么故事? Here, wait a minute. What story?
整个事情。我的发明，以及人们如何试图阻止它。 The whole thing. My invention and how people tried to stop it.
-但他们不会得逞的。 -希德! - But they're not going to. - Sid!
-你站在哪一边? -和你一样啊。 - Whose side are you on? - The same as you.
难道你不明白吗?他们想阻止它。 Don't you understand? They want to stop it.
我们也一样。 So do we.
希德,听着。不,希德。 Sid, listen. No, sid.
席德,别走! Sid, don't go!
希德，等等! Sid! Now, look, sid!
席德,不要…… Sid! Sid! Sid, don't...
你能别说了吗? Will you please stop?
请停下! Please stop!
-停下。停下。 -哦! - Stop it. Stop it. - Oh!
我去叫华生太太。 I'll fetch mrs Watson.
你不能这么做。这是我的房间。打开那扇门。 Here, you can't do that. That's my room. Open that door.
放我出去! Let me out of here!
-让他出来! -不可能! - Let him out of there! - Not likely!
嘿!等一下! Hey! Wait a minute!
哦，放我出去! Oh！Let me out!
贝莎!有什么事吗? Bertha! What's up?
哈利,留在这里。别让他们跑了。 Harry, stay here. Don't let either of them escape.
-嗯? -希德疯了。 - Eh? - Sid's gone mad.
他不知道自己在做什么。 He doesn't know what he's doing.
他以为我们和伯恩利是一伙儿的。 He's got us all muddled up with birnley.
这简直难以置信，先生们。 This is beyond belief, gentlemen.
-如果是约翰爵士的建议，我难以相信他会这样做…… -亲爱的伯恩利，让你女儿用自己的方式对付斯特拉顿吧。 And if sir John was suggesting what I could hardly believe he could be suggesting... Now, my dear birnley, let your daughter deal with Stratton her own way.
毕竟，她是睁着眼睛进去的。 After all, she went into it with her eyes open.
哦,我可没有睁着眼睛。 Well, I didn't.
-是吗? -工会来了。 - Yes? - The works committee is here.
哦,好吧…嗯…好吧，让他们过来。 Oh, well... erm... Well, show them up.
现在,伯恩利…伯恩利，听着。 Now, birnley... birnley, listen.
谁在里面? Who is that?
是我……爸爸。 It's me... daddy.
达芙妮,我…只是想知道你还在不在。 Daphne, I... just wondered if you were still there.
嗯，我还在。 Yes, I'm still here.
达芙妮,我…我想和你谈谈。 Daphne, I... l want to talk to you.
现在不行,父亲。 Not now, father.
-让我进…… -伯恩利，别傻了。 -Let me ... -Birnley, don't be ridiculous.
但她被锁在里面了。 But she's locked in.
不管他是不是疯了，我们都抓到他了，我们会让他清醒的。 Crazy or not, we've got him and we'll get some sense into him.
达芙妮!请把门打开。 Daphne! Open the door, please.
达芙妮，开门。达芙妮! Daphne, open this door. Daphne!
不。 No.
克努森? Knudsen?
女士们先生们，约翰爵士现在向你们解释情况。 Ladies and gentlemen, sir John will now explain to you the situation.
我们要和伯恩利先生说话。其他人免谈。 We're talking to mr birnley. No one else.
伯恩利先生马上就来。 Mr birnley will be along in a few minutes.
-他最好现在就来。-我们来解释 - He'd better come now. - And we'll do the explaining.
你看，现在情况完全不同了。 You see, the boot's on the other foot now.
现在西德尼·斯特拉顿在我们那里。 Now that Sidney Stratton's with us.

替西德尼道歉。 Sidney's apologies.
但是，从现在开始，你只需要把他排除在你的计划外。 But, from now on, you'll just have to, um... count him out.

谁? Who's that?
-咋了? -有个人在那房间里。 - Well, what is it? - There's a man in that room.

他往那边走了。 He went that way.
好吧。 All right.
谢谢你！ Thank you.
再见。 Goodbye.

我们在争论什么?没人想让那种布料流入市场。 What are we arguing for? Nobody wants to market it.
-完全正确。-亲爱的朋友们。 - Quite right. - My dear friends.
你必须明白，我们根本没有争执的理由。 You must see that our bone of contention is nonexistent.
