少年派的奇幻漂流
这么说你是在动物园里长大的 So, you were raised in a zoo?
我是在本地治里出生长大的 Born and raised...in Pondicherry,
当时那里属于法属印度 in what was the French part of India.
我父亲是动物园园主 My father owned the zoo.
我出生的时候 还是一位爬虫学家临时接生的 And I was delivered on short notice by a herpetologist,
他原本是来检查孟加拉巨蜥的 who was there to check on the Bengal monitor lizard.
好在母子平安 Mother and I were both healthy,
可惜那只蜥蜴却溜了 but the poor lizard escaped,
结果惨死在某个体型巨大的物种脚下 and was trampled by a frightening category.
这是因果报应吧 The way of Karma, huh?
也是神的意志 The way of God.
这故事挺不错的 That's quite a story.
光看你名字 I'd assumed your father
我还以为你父亲是位数学家 was a mathematician, because of your name.
差不多吧 我这名字取源于一个泳池的名字 Not far from it, I was named after a swimming pool.
有叫"派"的游泳池吗 There was a pool named "Pi"?
话说我叔叔弗朗西斯 You see, my uncle Francis
刚出生时肺积水很严重 was born with too much water in his lungs.
听人说医生抓住他脚踝 They say the doctor swung Francis
倒过来晃来晃去 才把水给清干净 around by the ankle, to clear the water out.
也正因为这样 And that's what gives him
他才四肢纤细却有着硕大的胸肌 his huge chest and skinny legs,
他靠着身材成了游泳健将 that made him such a great swimmer.
弗朗西斯是你亲叔叔吗 Is Francis actually your uncle,
他说自己只是你父亲的朋友罢了 he said he was friend with your father?
我们亲如叔侄 我叫他"玛玛吉" Well, he's my "Honorary" Uncle. I call him "Mamaji".
他是我父亲的挚友 也是我的游泳导师 My father's best friend, my swimming guru.
我跟着他去进修所游三次 I trained with him three times a week at the ashram.
他的谆谆教导最后救了我一命 His lessons would save my life in the end.
呛几口水倒死不了 A mouthful of water will not harden you.
慌了就完了 But panic will.
记得先呼吸 别憋着 And remember to breath now, don't hold your breath.
好孩子 Good boy.
我吃素食 你不介意吧 I hope you don't mind vegetarian.
没事 不介意 No, no. Not at all.
-那名字的事呢 -什么 - And your name? - Uh?
你刚打算说你名字的由来 You were going to tell me how you got your name, I think.
对了 Oh yes!
我这名字是玛玛吉跟我父亲说起的 I got it from something Mamaji once told my father.
一般人出游收集明信片 You see, most travelers collect postcards
茶杯 珠宝之类的东西 or tea cups and their jewelries,
但玛玛吉不同 but not Mamaji.
他喜欢收集游泳池 Mamaji collects swimming pools.
每到一处 他就去当地的泳池游泳 He swims in every pool he comes upon.
莫利托公共游泳池
有一天 玛玛吉对我父亲说 One day, Mamaji said to my father,
放眼世界各地的游泳池 that of all the pools in the world,
当属巴黎的一个公共游泳池最美 the most beautiful was a public pool in Paris.
那里的水清澈至极 That the water there was so clear,
你甚至可以拿里面的水煮早咖啡 you could make your morning coffee with it.
就是这次游泳改变了他一生 That a single swim there changed his life.
我出生之前 他说道 Before I was born, he said:
"要想让你儿子有颗纯洁的心灵 "If you want your son to have a clean soul,
Piscine 法语意为泳池
就要带他去莫利托公共泳池游泳 you must take him one day to swim in the "Piscine Molitor".
我一直没搞懂父亲为何对这句话如此上心 I never understood why my father took this so much too heart.
但事实如此 But he did.
所以我就被取名为"皮辛·莫利托·帕特尔" And I was named "Piscine Molitor Patel".
你想想 光解释名字就够累的 Imagine me trying to explain that name.
好不容易熬到11岁 结果 I barely made it to the age of eleven, before...
"便辛" Hey, "Pissing"!
你在小便吗 Are you pissing right now?
瞧 他在小便呢 Look at him, he is pissing.
一字之别 With one word,
我的名字就从优雅的法国泳池名 my name went from an elegant French swimming pool
沦为了肮脏的印度公厕 to a stinking Indian latrine.
我到哪儿都成了"小便" I was "Pissing" everywhere.
操场里不准随地小便 No pissing in the schoolyard!
就连老师也这么叫 Even the teacher started doing it.
当然 他不是故意的 Not deliberately, of course.
那么... So then...
是什么让壶里的气体快速蒸发呢 What made the kettle to release gas too quickly?
小便 Pissing?
听啊 老师也叫他小便 He said pissing, guys.
小便 Pissing!
够了 That's enough!
等到第二年开学第一天 When we returned the next year for our first day of school,
我早有准备 I was prepared.
到 Present, sir!
皮辛·帕特尔 Piscine Patel.
早上好 Good Morning.
我名叫皮辛·帕特尔 I am Piscine Molitor Patel.
大家都叫我 Know to all as:
"派" "Pi"
"派"是希腊字母表的第16个字母 The sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet.
也在数学领域用来表示 Which is also used in mathematics to represent
圆周与直径之比 the ratio of any circle circcomference to its diameter.
是一个无限不循环小数 An irrational number of infinite length,
常取小数点后两位 usually rounded to three digits,
记为3.14 as 3.14,
"派" Pi.
很有意思...派 Very impressive... Pi.
回座吧 Now sit down.
-阿瓦鲁·萨米 -到 - Arvelu Sami? - Present.
之后你就成了"派"吗 And from then on, you were Pi?
也不尽然 Well no, not quite.
得了吧 小便 Nice try, Pissing.
但我还有一整天时间 But I still had the whole day ahead of me.
接着是法语课 French class was next.
我叫皮辛·莫利托·帕特尔 Je m'appelle Piscine Molitor Patel.
"派" Pi.
接着是地理课 Then geography.
这是"派"小数点后前二十位 These are the first twenty decimal places of Pi.
最后一堂课是数学 My last class of the day was mathematics.
4... 4...
3... 3...
7... 7...
5... 5...
8... 8...
5... 5...
8... 8...
5... 5...
8... 8...
没错 他真背出来了 It's right! He's really doing this!
等放学的时候 By the end of that day,
我就成了学校的传奇人物"派·帕特尔" I was "Pi Patel", school legend.
玛玛吉跟我说你有段传奇航海经历 是吗 Mamaji tells me you're a legend among sailors, do you?
一个人漂洋过海 Out there, all alone.
我不懂航海 Oh, I don't even know how to sail.
再说我也不是一个人 还有理查德·帕克 And I wasn't alone out there, Richard Parker was with me.
理查德·帕克 Richard Parker?
玛玛吉没跟我细说 Mamaji, he didn't tell me everything,
只说让我回蒙特利尔的时候来找你 he just said I should look you up when I got back to Montreal.
那你在本地治里的时候都干些什么呢 So what were you doing in Pondicherry?
写小说 Writing a novel.
顺带一提 我很喜欢你第一部小说 By the way, I enjoyed your first book.
新书打算以印度为背景吗 So this new one is set in India?
其实是葡萄牙 No, Portugal actually.
在印度待着可以省些开销 But it's cheaper living in India.
好吧 我很期待你的新书 Well, I look forward to reading it.
等不到了 You can't.
我放弃了 I threw it out.
我花了两年时间构思小说 Two years I was trying to bring these things to life,
结果它残喘了没多久就胎死腹中了 and they one day... Sputtered caughed and died.
节哀顺变 Oh, I'm sorry.
一天下午 So I was sitting
我就坐在本地治里的咖啡屋 in this coffee house in Pondicherry
怀念我那早逝的小说 one afternoon mourning my lost,
就在那时 when this
一位旁桌的老伙计跟我攀谈起来 old man at the table next to me, struck up a conversation.
玛玛吉就喜欢这样 Yeah, Mamaji he does that.
我说起了那本没写成的小说 他说道 When I told him my abandoned book, he said:
"原来是加拿大人 一起去法属印度吧 "So, a Canadian. Let's come to French India,
到那里搜集故事 and search for a story.
伙计 我有个印度朋友 Well, my friend, I know an Indian
就住在加拿大法语区 in French Canada,
他的故事那叫一个精彩 with the most incredible story to tell.
你俩真是命中注定要相遇啊" It must be fate that the two of you should meet."
我已经好多年没说起过理查德·帕克的事了 Well I haven't spoken about Richard Parker in so many years.
玛玛吉都跟你说了些什么 So what has Mamaji already told you?
他说听了你的故事 会让我相信神的存在 He said you had a story that would make me believe in God.
依着他 吃顿好菜也能让人信上帝 He would say that about a nice meal.
至于信不信神 我只负责讲故事 As for God, I can only tell you my story.
信不信由你自己决定 You'll decide for yourself what you believe.
可以 Fair enough.
那么 从哪儿说起呢 Let's see then. Where to begin?
本地治里... Pondicherry...
当时为法属印度 is the French Bureau of India.
因为这地方离海最近 In this place, closest to the ocean,
若置身其中 你会误以为身处法国南部 you might think you are in the south of France.
几个街区后有条运河 A few blocks inland, there's a canal.
过了运河 就是印属本地治里 Just beyond that, is Indian Pondicherry.
往西就是穆斯林地区 And the Muslim quarter is just to the west.
1954年法国归还了本地治里 When the French handed Pondicherry back to us in 1954,
小镇决定举行庆典 the town decided that some sort of commemoration was in order.
我父亲很有商业头脑 My father was a clever businessman.
想到了生财之道 He came up with one.
他本来着经营旅馆 突然灵光一现 He ran a hotel, and he got the idea to
决定关掉旅馆 在植物园里开了一间动物园 open a zoo in the local botanical gardens instead.
真是无巧不成书 As it also happened,
我母亲当时是园子里的植物学家 my mother was a botanist in the gardens.
他们就那样相识 结为连理 They met, married, and a year later,
一年后 我哥哥拉维出生了 my brother Ravi was born.
两年后我出生了 I came two years after that.
听起来真不可思议 生长在... Sounds magical. Growing up in...
阿门 Amen.
好了 吃吧 Yeah, let's eat.
没想到印度教徒会说阿门 I did not know Hindus said Amen.
天主教派的印度教徒就会这样 Catholics Hindus do
还有天主教派的印度教徒吗 Catholic Hindus?
神不止一个 成百上千的神 We get to feel guilty before hundreds of gods,
都需要敬畏 instead of just one.
但你最先信奉的是印度教 But you're a Hindu first.
我们都是经引荐接近神 None of us knows God until someone introduces us.
引我入门的是印度教 I was first introduced to God as a Hindu.
印度教中有三千三百万个神 There are 33 million gods in the Hindu regilion.
我怎会不略知一二呢 How can I not come to know a few of them?
我先认识的是黑天 I met Krishna, first.
雅修达曾责备年幼的黑天吃尘土
"你怎么如此调皮 不能吃泥土"
"但他没有吃"
黑天是这么说的
"我没有吃泥土"
雅修达说 "没有吗 既然这样..."
"把嘴张开"
于是黑天把嘴张开
你猜雅修达看到了什么
看到什么呢
她看到黑天的嘴里蕴含着整个宇宙
众神就是我心中的超能英雄 队伍不断壮大 The gods were my superheroes, growing up.
猴神哈奴曼 Hanuman, the monkey god,
为了救朋友拉希米抬起了整座山 lifting an entire mountain to save his friend, Lakshmi.
象鼻神伽内什 Ganesh, the elephant headed,
为了母亲帕尔瓦蒂不惜以命相搏 risking his life to defend the honor of his mother, Parvati.
至高之灵毗湿奴 Vishnu, the supreme soul,
万物之源 the source of all things.
传说毗湿奴入睡 漂浮于无边的浩瀚宇宙 Vishnu sleeps, floating on the shoreless cosmic ocean,
而我们不过是他梦境的产物 and we are the stuff of his dreaming.
真是奇观 Spectacle.
别被这些故事和谎言给忽悠了 孩子们 Don't let the stories and pretty lies fool you, boys.
宗教都很蒙昧 Religion is darkness.
我敬爱的父亲认为自己算是个新印度人 My dear Apa believed himself part of the new India.
他小时候得过小儿麻痹症 As a child, he'd had polio.
以前躺在床上疼痛难忍的时候 He used to lie in bed wracked with pain,
就会想 神在哪里 wondering where God was.
最终 神没能救他 In the end, God didn't save him.
救他的是西方医学 Western medecine did.
我母亲读过大学 My Amma went to college
也觉得我们算是新印度人 and thought our familly was part of the new India as well,
但她和自己的父母断绝了往来 But then her parents cut her off,
因为他们觉得父亲配不上她 because they thought she was marrying beneath her.
宗教是她与过去的唯一联系 Our religion was the only link she had to her past.
我遇见基督 则是十二岁那年 在一座山上 I met Christ in the mountains when I was 12.
当时我们去蒙纳的匹格鲁斯一家串亲戚 We were visiting relatives, Pigroes in Monar.
到了第三天 拉维和我无聊至极 It was a third there, Ravi and I were terribly bored.
跟你赌两卢比 Challenge. I give you two rupees.
你敢不敢跑进那座教堂偷喝圣水 Run into that church, and drink the holy water.
想必你是口渴了吧 You must be thirsty.
给 Here.
我给你带了杯水 I brought you this.
上帝为什么要这样 Why would a God do that?
为什么把自己的儿子下放人间 Why would he send his own son
为凡人的罪受难呢 to suffer for the sins of ordinary people?
因为上帝爱世人 Because he loves us.
给世人接近祂的机会 God made himself approachable to us -- human,
让我们了解上帝 so we could understand him.
我们无法理解上帝 抑或祂的完全 We can't understand God nor his perfection.
但我们可以理解上帝的儿子 But we can understand God's son,
了解他的苦难 就如手足一般 and his suffering, as we would of brothers.
这说不通啊 That made no sense!
让无辜者牺牲 以此救赎罪人 Sacrificing the innocent, to atone for the sins of the guilty,
这算哪门子爱 what kind of love is that?
但圣子的说法 一直萦绕在我心里 But this son, I couldn't get him out of my head.
如果上帝如此完全 而我们却不完美 If God is so perfect, and we are not,
上帝又为何要创造这一切呢 why would he want to create all this?
又为什么要我们存在呢 Why does he need us at all?
你只需知道上帝爱世人 All you have to know is that he loves us.
上帝爱这个世界 可以为此牺牲自己唯一的儿子 God so loved his world that he gave his only son.
听牧师说得越多 The longer I listened to the priest,
我就越发喜欢圣子 the more I came to like the son of God.
谢谢你毗湿奴 是你让我认识了基督 Thank you Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ.
印度教给我了宗教启蒙 I came to faith through Hinduism,
又通过基督发现神的爱 and I found God's love through Christ.
但神与我之间的故事还未完结 But God wasn't finished with me yet.
神的显现变幻莫测 God works in mysterious ways.
他又以不同的身份出现在我面前 And so it was he introduced him to me again,
这次的形象是真主 this time by the name of Allah.
我阿拉伯语一直不太好 My Arabic was never very good.
但那种音调却让我感觉与上帝更接近 But the sound and feel of the words brought me closer to God.
做礼拜时 我触碰的地面成了圣地 In performing "Salah", the ground I touched became holly ground,
从中感受到一丝宁静与手足之情 and I found a feeling of serenity and brotherhood.
这羊肉真是棒极了 This lamb is exquisite.
桌上就这个最好吃了 It's the best dish on the table.
你不吃就错过了 You're all missing out.
皮辛 你要是再信三个教 You only need to convert to three more religions, Piscine,
每天都能过不同的节了 and you'll spend your life on holiday.
耶稣大人 你今年要去麦加吗 Are you going to Mecca this year, Swami Jesus?
还是打算去罗马加冕当教皇啊 Or to Rome for your coronation as Popeius?
别犯傻了 Yourself, don't be silly.
你喜欢板球 派也有自己的兴趣 Just like you like cricket, Pi has his own interest.
知道吗 吉塔 拉维说得在理 No, Gita. Ravi has a point, you know?
皮辛 你不能同时信三种不同的宗教 You cannot follow three different religions at the same time, Piscine.
为什么不行 Why not?
因为 什么都相信 Because believing in everything at the same time
就跟什么都不信一样 is the same as not believing in anything at all.
桑托什 他还小 还在摸索中 He's young, Santosh. He's still finding his way.
但他如果不选定道路 And how can he find his way,
又怎能摸索出路呢 if he does not choose a path?
听着 与其在各种宗教中举棋不定 Listen, instead of leaping from one region to the next,
不如选择信奉理性 why not start with reason?
百年间 In few hundred years,
科学引领我们了解宇宙的深度 science has taken us farther in undertanding the universe,
就已经远超宗教几千年的成果 than the regilon has in ten thousand.
这话在理 That is true.
你父亲说得没错 Your father is right.
科学能帮助我们了解外在的事物 Science can teach us more about what is out there,
但内在世界却不行 but not what is in here.
确实 有人吃肉 也有人吃素 Yeah. Some eat meat, some eat vegetable,
我不奢望大家什么都意见一致 I do not expect us to all to agree about everything,
但我宁愿 but I would much prefer
你信奉一种我不接受的宗教 they'll have you believe in something I don't agree with,
也不愿意你盲目信奉一切 than to accept everything blindly.
这就需要你从理性思考开始 And that begins with thinking rationally.
你听懂了吗 You understand?
好的 Good.
我想受洗 I would like to be baptised.
这么说... So...
你既是基督教徒 又是穆斯林教徒 you're a Christian, and a Muslim.
还是个印度教徒 And an Hindu, of course.
我猜还是犹太教徒吧 And a Jew, I suppose.
我确实在大学里也教授犹太哲学 Well I do teach the course on the Kabala at the University.
为什么不行呢 And why not?
信仰就像一栋房子 里面有许多房间 Faith is a house with many rooms.
但没有怀疑的房间吗 But no room for doubt?
多的是 每层楼都有 Oh, plenty. On every floor.
怀疑很有益处 Doubt is useful.
怀疑使得信仰充满生机 It keeps Faith a living thing.
毕竟只有经过考验 After all, you cannot know
才能明确自己的信仰是否足够坚定 the strength of your faith until it has been tested.
索森呢 他不在我们不该进来的 Where's Sothom? We shouldn't be in here without him.
别担心 Stop worrying.
我都观察过无数次了 I have seen him do this a thousand times.
我想看看新来的老虎 I want to meet our new tiger.
派 Pi!
理查德·帕克 你在吗 Hello? Richard Parker?
老虎吗 Tiger?
理查德·帕克是只老虎吗 Richard Parker was a tiger?
是啊 这名字的由来纯属笔误 Yeah, he got this name through a clerical error.
猎人趁它在河边饮水时把它抓住了 A hunter caught him drinking from a stream
它当时还是个幼崽 when he was a cub,
取名"口渴" and named him "Thirsty".
等"口渴"长大了 When Thirsty got too big,
猎人就把它卖给了动物园 the hunter sold him to our zoo,
但记录的时候阴差阳错 but the name got switched on the paperwork.
猎人成了"口渴" The hunter was listed as Thirsty,
而老虎成了理查德·帕克 and the tiger was called Richard Parker.
我们都笑得不行 We laughed about it.
名字就这样沿用下了 And the name stuck!
走吧 Let's go...
再不走该出事了 Before we get into trouble!
我想好好瞧瞧他 I want to see him closer.
你当自己是游客啊 You're not the zoo people!
走吧 Come on!
理查德·帕克 来吧 That's it Richard Parker.
这是给你吃的 It's for you.
住手 No!
你怎么想的 What are you thinking?
你疯了吗 Are you out of your mind?
谁让你进来的 Who gave you the permission to come back here?
你忘了我以前跟你说的话了吗 You just ignored everything I've ever taught you?
我...我只想跟它打声招呼 I-I just wanted to say Hello to him.
你当老虎是你朋友吗 You think that tiger is your friend.
这是野兽 不是玩伴 He's an animal, not a playmate!
野兽也有灵魂的 Animals have souls.
我从它们眼里能看出来 I have seen it in their eyes.
叫塞尔维过来 Find Selvan.
确定要吗 派还只是个孩子
放吧 快动手
野兽不像人 Animals do not think like we do.
记不住这一点 就会闹出人命 People who forget that, get themselves killed.
那只老虎不是你的朋友 That tiger... is not your friend.
你在它眼里看到的 When you look into his eyes,
不过是自己感情的倒影 you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you.
没别的 Nothing else.
笨蛋 还不快承认错误 You stupid. Say "I'm sorry."
你干什么了 皮辛 What have you done, Piscine?
你爸怎么跟你说的 You know what your father said about coming back here?
对不起 I am sorry.
我就是想 I was...
你想干什么 What are you thinking?
这是我们父子之间的事 This is between a father and his sons.
塞尔维 放 Selvan, cut away!
他都知道错了 你这样会吓着他的 He said he's sorry. You'll just scare them for life.
这能吓着他? 他差点连胳膊都没了 Scare them? That boy almost lost his arm.
但他还只是个孩子 But he's just a boy.
他也当不了几年孩子了 He will be a man sooner than you think.
这次的教训我要让他一辈子都记着 And this is a lesson I do not want them ever to forget!
塞尔维 Selvan!
宣布国家进入紧急戒备状态 .. and so has placed the country in a state of emergency
根据指示 文化部 Under the directive, the states of cultural...
从那以后 一切都变了 Things changed after the day of Apa's lesson.
感觉世上的某种美好被抹去了 The world had lost some of its enchantment.
学校里功课很无聊 无非是些公理 分数还有法语 School was a bore, nothing but facts, fractions and French.
单词和语法像是没有穷尽 Words and patterns that went on and on without end,
就像无理数"派"一样 just like my irrational nickname.
外乡人
我整日烦躁不安 I grew restless,
搜寻着让我觉得 searching for something

就在这时 我遇到了阿南蒂 And then, I met Anandi.

有一天 我的老师得了流感病倒了 And one day, my teacher came down with the flu.
他问我能不能替他 He asked if I could take his place,

"桑普塔" 表示隐藏的事物 'Sanputa', which means something that is hidden.
接着你又这样 Now for that you did this.
然后你又做了"查图拉" And then you did 'Chatura'.
但是在最后面 你做了这个动作 But at the very end, you did... this.
其他女孩都没这么做 None of the others dancers did that.
这表示什么意思 爱神躲在森林里吗 What did you mean, the God of love is hiding in the forest?
不是 那个动作也代表莲花 No, that also means 'the Lotus flower'.
藏在森林里的莲花 Lotus flowers hiding in the forest?
为什么莲花要藏在森林里 Why would a Lotus flower hide in the forest?
这是理查德·帕克 This is Richard Parker.
它是我们的镇园之宝 He's the most magnificent creature we've ever had here.
快看它转头的样子 Look at the way he's turning his head.
耀武扬威的 就像舞者一样 Showing off... like a dancer.
不对 它听到什么了 No. He heard something.

我们要离开印度了 We are leaving India.
什么 What?
我们要卖掉动物园 We are selling the zoo.
动物园本来就不是我们的 土地都是国有的 The zoo was never ours to sell, the land belongs to the town.
但是动物是咱们的 But the animals are ours.
卖了它们足够我们开始新生活 and if we sell them, we will have enough to start a new life.
我们要去哪 But where will we go?
我们的一切都在这里 阿爸 Our life is here, Apa!
加拿大 Canada.
我在温尼伯有个工作机会 I have some opportunities for work in Winnipeg.
我打算把园子里大部门动物装船去北美卖掉 I'll be shipping most of the animals for sale in North America,

像哥伦布一样去远航 We will sail like Columbus.
但哥伦布出海就是为了找印度 But Columbus was looking for India!
清理动物园要花很多功夫 It takes a lot of work to set a zoo.
离开前 阿南蒂和我 Before we left, Anandi and I
有足够的时间去依依惜别 had time enough to break each other's heart.
当然 我许诺我总有一天会回来 Of course, I promised I would come back one day.
有意思的是 It's funny...
我能记起离开那天所有的事 I remember everything else about our last day.
但是就是不记得我们怎么道别的 But I don't remember saying goodbye.

我以为你是在做铺垫 I think you set the stage,
讲到这里 就是一个和法国游泳池同名的男孩 So far, we have an Indian boy named after a French swimming pool,
坐着一艘塞满动物的日本轮船驶向加拿大 and a Japanese ship full of animals, heading to Canada.

男孩乘船驶入太平洋中央 然后 boy into the middle of the Pacific, and...
然后让我相信神的存在 And make me believe in God.
对 会讲到那儿的 Yeah. We'll get there.
我们离开马尼拉后第四天 船开到了马里亚纳海沟上 It was four days out of Manila, above the Mariana trench,
也就是世界上最深的海沟 the deepest part on earth.
我们的船 新宋号 Our ship, the Simsum, pushed on,
平稳地航行在异域上 polishly in different surroundings.
载着对另一个大陆的殷切期盼 It moved with the slow massive confidence for continent.
你听到了吗 拉维 Did you hear that, Ravi?
听到了 你又在想什么 Yes, what do you think?
暴风雨来了 我们出去看看吧 It's a thunderstorm, let's go and watch.
你疯了吧 Are you crazy?
我们会被雷劈到的 We will get hit by lightning.
不会的 雷会先劈到舰桥上的 No, we won't, it'll hit the bridge first.

我叫派·帕特尔 My name is Pi Patel.
我遭遇了海难 I have been on a ship wreck.
我现在孤身一人在救生筏上 I am on a lifeboat, alone...
还有一只老虎 with a tiger.
请求救援 Please send help.
神啊 God...
我将自己都交给您 I give myself to you.
我是您的奴仆 I am your vassal.
还会怎样 告诉我吧 Whatever comes, I want to know.
给我神谕吧 Show me.
根本就看不出水流方向 There are no lines.
安顿好你的船 准备打场持久战 Set ??your house in order, and dig in for the battle to survive.
建立严格的每日用食计划 Establish a strict schedule for eating,
不断观望 保证休息 keeping watch, and getting rest.
严禁饮用尿液和海水 Do not drink urine or seawater.
找点事做 但不要耗费过多精力 Keep busy, but avoid unnecessary exertion.
打牌和玩益智游戏可以 The mind can be kept get occupied by playing card games,
打发时光 "Twenty Questions" Or "Eye Spy".
合唱是另一种振作精神的好方法 Community singing is another sure fire way to lift the spirit.
强烈推荐讲故事 Telling stories is highly recommended.
总之 不要失去希望 Above all, don't lose hope.
没有什么比晕船更让人丧失斗志了 Few things can sap the spirit faster than sea sickness.
当船侧对着海浪时 Waves are more strongly felt
晕船会更加强烈 when the boat turns side way to the current.
海锚能起到拖拽的作用 A sea anchor is used as
让船能迎风行驶 a drag to keep the boats head to the wind.
恰当的使用会让船保持平稳 Proper use of them can increase control,
避免在海浪中晕船 and reduce sea sickness during rough seas.
若遇难者必须与 For castaways who must share
大型肉食动物共用救生艇 their lifeboats with large dangerous carnivals,
建议你们划分清楚地盘 it's advisable to establish your territory as your own.
请尝试以下方法 步骤一 Try this method. Step 1:
选择海浪中等但比较规律的一天 Choose a day when waves are moderate, but regular.
步骤二 Step 2:
让救生艇迎着浪头 With the lifeboat facing into the waves,
尽可能让船行得平稳舒适 making the ride as comfortable as possible,
然后缓缓地吹着口哨 blow your whistle soothingly.
步骤三 Step 3:
之后让船侧冲着浪头 Turn the lifeboat sideways to the waves,
并尖锐有力地吹着口哨 accompanied by harsh, aggressive use of the whistle.
重复次数达到一定程度 With sufficient repetition,
动物听到尖锐的哨声 the animal will associate the sound of the whistle
就会条件反射产生晕船感 with the discomfort of sea sickness.
马戏团就长期用类似的方法训练猛兽 Similar methods have long been used by circus trainers,
尽管他们一般不会真的身处大海 though they generally lack access to rough seas.

你听明白了吗 You understand?
第四步 无视步骤一到三 Step 4:Disregard steps 1 through 3.
过来 理查德·帕克 Here, Richard Parker.
我给你准备了些水喝 I got some water for you.
在动物园里 In the zoo, we fed
老虎每天要吃五公斤肉 the tigres in average of five kilos of meat a day.
理查德·帕克很快就会饿的 Richard Paker will getting hungry soon.
老虎是游泳健将 Tigres are powerful swimmers,
如果它饿极了 and if he gets hungry enough,
恐怕这么一水之隔 I'm afraid the little bit
就很难保我一条命了 of water between us won't be any protection.
我得想办法喂饱它 I need to find a way to feed him.
我可以吃饼干 但老虎生来就是吃肉的 I can eat the biscuits, but God made tigers carnivores,
所以我必须学会捕鱼 So I must learn to catch fish.
如果学不会 If I don't,
最后被吃掉的估计就是瘦骨嶙峋还吃素的我了 I'm afraid his last meal will be a skinny vegetarian boy.
有点耐心 Patience!
我都做了些什么 What I'm doing?
等等 正在想呢 Wait! Thinking.
两箱饼干 Two cartons of biscuits...
93罐饮用水 93 cans of water...
对不起 I'm sorry.
实在对不起 I'm sorry.
感谢您 毗湿奴 Thank you, Lord Vishnu!
感谢您化身为鱼 救了我们的命 Thank you for coming in the form of a fish and saving our life!
谢谢您 Thank you!
我把所有的饼干和饮用水 Of course, I brought all
搬到了我的木筏上 the biscuits and water on the raft with me,
以免被老虎吃掉 to keep them safe...
我真是笨蛋 Idiot.
饥饿会改变一切 Hunger can change everything
你永远都想不到自己会变成什么样 you ever thought you knew about yourself.
给你 Here, it's yours!
不 No!
那是我的 It's mine.
也该有个了断了 It's time to settle this.
既然要共存 我们就得学会沟通 If we're going to live together, we have to learn to communicate.
也许我们不能成为朋友 Maybe Richard Parker can't be teamed.
但好在还可以驯服 But with God's will, he can be trimmed.
不对 No!
乖 Good.
进去 理查德·帕克 快进去 Go, Richard Parker. Go!
回窝里去吧 我不会打搅你的 Go on home, I'll leave you alone.
我不会烦你 我保证 I'll respect that, promise.
进去 快点 Go! Come on!
好的 Yes!
我从来没有想到 I never thought a small
这点东西却带给我如此多的快乐 piece of shit could bring me so much happiness,
没想到一袋工具 一个空桶 一把小刀 一支铅笔 that a pile of tools, a bucket, a knife, a pencil,
会是我最丰厚的宝藏 might become my greatest treasures,
没想到理查德·帕克的陪伴竟会让我感到安心 or that knowing Richard Parker was here might ever bring me peace.
每当这时 In times like these,
我就会想起 他和我一样 I remember that he has as
对现实世界的认知寥寥无几 little experience of the real world as I do.
我们都在动物园中被同一个主人养大 We were both raised in a zoo by the same master.
而现在我们都成了孤儿 Now we've been orphaned,
被弃在这里共同面对我们最高的主上 left to face our ultimate master together.
没有理查德·帕克 我根本活不到现在 Without Richard Parker, I would have died by now.
对他的恐惧让我时刻保持警惕 My fear of him keeps me alert.
要满足他的各种需要 也让我有点事做 Tending to his needs gives my life focus.
海豚 Dolphins.
理查德·帕克 Hey, Richard Parker!
总之 不要失去希望 Above all, don't lose hope.
五 零 六 六 零 八 零 一 三 六 Five, zero, six, six, zero, eight, zero, one, three, six...
你在看什么 What're you looking at?
给我说说 Talk to me.
说说你看到了什么 Tell me what you see.
我仅剩下一具凡身在苦苦支撑 Mortal, all I have left and hang on to.
一切仿佛都静止了 都变得支离破碎 Everything make stopped, fragmented.
分不清黑夜白天 也分不清梦境现实 Can't tell day dreams, night dreams from reality anymore.
风暴来了 理查德·帕克 A storm, Richard Parker!
上帝啊 基督需要您 Christ needs you, God!
他在等待您的教诲 Longing for his words!
仁慈的主 慈悲的主啊 The compassionate! The mercyful!
显灵吧 Come out!
理查德·帕克 出来 出来看那 Richard Parker! Come out, you have to see this!
太美了 It's beautiful!
别躲着 上帝显身了 Don't hide yourself! He's come to us!
这是神谕 It's a vision!
来吧 上帝显灵了 理查德·帕克 Come on, this is God, Richard Parker!
你为什么要吓唬他 Why are you scaring him?
我已经失去了家人 I've lost my family,
我已经失去了一切 I've lost everything!
我完全屈服了 您还想怎样 I surrender! What else do you want?
对不起 理查德·帕克 I'm sorry, Richard Parker.
我们要死了 理查德·帕克 We're dying, Richard Parker.
对不起 I'm sorry.
阿妈 Amma...
阿爸 拉维 Apa, Ravi.
阿爸 拉维 我们很快就能团聚了 Apa, Ravi, I'm going to see you soon.
你感觉到下雨了吗 Can you feel the rain?
上帝啊 God...
感谢您赐予我生命 Thank you for giving me my life.
我准备好了 I'm ready now.
理查德·帕克 Richard Parker.
让一下 Excuse me,
让一下 excuse me.
走开 Hey, come on.
离我远点 Hey. Get rid of me!
这是我的床 It's my bed.
是人的牙齿 It was a human tooth.
你看不出这个岛会吃人吗 Don't you see the island was carnivorous?
吃人 像捕蝇草那样吗 Carnivorous? Like a Venus Fly trap?
对 整个就是个食人岛 Yes. The whole island.
所有的植被 水源 池塘 和岛屿本身 The plants, the water and those pools, the very ground itself.
白天 池塘里都是清澈的水 During the day, those pools held fresh water.
但到夜里 池子里的水 But at night, some chemical process
通过了某种化学变化变成了酸液 turned the water in those pools into acid.
这些酸液溶解了池子里的鱼 Acid that disolved those fish.
吓得海岛猫鼬爬上了树 That send meerkats scaring to the trees,
理查德·帕克也吓得跑回船上 and Richard Parker running to the boat.
但这颗牙是哪儿来的呢 But where'd the tooth come from?
估计以前有个像我一样的倒霉蛋 Years ago, some poor fellow just like me
也在这个岛上搁浅了 must have found himself stranded on that island.
和我一样觉得自己会在岛上度过余生 And like me, he thought he might stay there forever.
但他白天从岛上拿到的一切 But all that the island gave him by day,
晚上统统会被收回 it took away again by night.
想想他在只有海岛猫鼬为伴的 To think how many hours he spent,
情况下待了多久 with only meerkats for company.
他会感到多么孤单寂寞 How much loneliness taken on him.
我只知道最后他死了 All I know is that eventually he died,
岛屿消化了他的血肉 and the island digested him,
只留下一颗牙齿 leaving behind only his teeth.
我预见到了自己继续待在岛上的下场 I saw how my life would end, if I stayed on that island.
孤独寂寞 被世间遗忘 Alone, forgotten.
我一定要重返人世 不成功便成仁 I had to get back to the world, or die trying.
第二天我便着手整备船只 I spent the next day preparing the boat.
我储备了清水 I filled my stores with fresh water,
用海藻拼命把肚子填满 ate sea weed until my stomach could take no more,
为了解决理查德·帕克的果腹问题 and brought as many meerkats as I could fit into
还把储物柜里塞满了海岛猫鼬 the storey's locker for Richard Parker.
我当然不能把他丢下 I couldn't leave without him, of course.
他会死在这儿的 It would be killing him.
所以我等他归来 And so I waited for his return.
我知道他不会迟到 I knew he wouldn't be late.
理查德·帕克 Richard Parker!
从那以后再没人见过这个漂浮的小岛 No one has seen that floating island since.
也没有文献记载过那种树 And you won't read about those trees in any nature book.
但如果不是那次停靠 或许我早就死了 And yet, if I hadn't found those shores, I would have died.
而如果没有发现那颗牙齿 And if I hadn't discovered that tooth,
我也会迷死自我 孤独终老 I would have been lost, alone forever.
有时上帝看似抛弃了我 但他都看在眼里 Even when God seemed to have abandoned me, he was watching.
看似对我的苦难漠不关心 但他都看在眼里 Even when he seemed indifferent to my suffering, he was watching.
当我彻底放弃希望的时候 And when I was beyond all hope of saving,
他赐予了我安宁 he gave me rest.
并喻示我重新启程 And gave me a sign to continue my journey.
当我们到达墨西哥海岸时 By the time we reached the Mexican shore,
我都不敢放手让小船自己漂走 I was afraid to let go off the boat.
我已经精疲力尽 奄奄一息 My strength was gone, I was so weak.
怕自己会淹死在这浅浅两尺的海水中 I was afraid that in two feet of water,
而希望之光就在这么近的前方 so close to deliverance, I would drown.
我挣扎着上了岸 一头栽倒在沙滩上 I struggled to shore, and fell upon the sand.
沙子很温暖 很柔软 It was warm and soft,
就如同贴上了上帝的脸颊一般 like pressing my face against the cheek of God.
在某个地方 定有一双眼睛含着满意的笑 And somewhere, two eyes were smiling, that having me there.
我虚弱得动弹不得 I was so spent, I could hardly move.
所以理查德·帕克走在了前面 And so Richard Parker went ahead of me.
他伸展了一下四肢 沿着海岸走去 He stretched his legs, and walked along the shore.
在丛林的边缘 他止住了脚步 At the edge of the jungle, he stopped.
我以为他一定会回眸看我一眼 I was certain he was going to look back to me.
骄傲地捊平自己的耳朵 Flatten his ears to his head, proud,
为这段旅程画上一个句号 that he would bring our relationship to an end in some way.
但他却头也不回地走进了丛林 But he just teared ahead into the jungle.
理查德·帕克 我凶猛的同伴 And then, Richard Parker, my fierce companion,
让我生存下来的恐怖伴侣 the terrible one who kept me alive,
就这样从我的生命中永远地消失了 disappeared forever from my life.
几个小时后 我被一个同类发现 After a few hours, a member of my own species found me.
不久后他带来一帮人救走了我 He left and returned with a group who carried me away.
我像个小孩一样嚎啕大哭 And I wept like a child,
不是因为获救的激动 虽然这也是事实 not because I was overwhelmed of having survived, altough I was.
而是因为理查德·帕克离开了我 I was weeping because Richard Parker left me,
就那么走了 so unceremoniously.
我伤透了心 It broke my heart.
我父亲说得对 You know, my father was right.
理查德·帕克从来没把我当朋友 Richard Parker never saw me as his friend.
即便一起经历了那么多 他还是头都没回就走了 After all we had been through, he didn't even look back.
但我还是相信 他们的眼里 But I have to believe there was more in these eyes
有一些倒影之外的东西 than my own reflection staring back at me.
我确定 我能感受到 I know it, I felt it.
即使我无法证明 Even if I can't prove it.
我失去了那么多 You know, I've left so much behind,
我的家人 动物园 印度 阿南蒂 my family, the zoo, India, Anandi...
在印度的那段人生就像是一幕剧 剧终人散 I suppose India and the whole of life becomes an act of letting go.
但最让人的心痛的是 But what will always hurt the most,
我没能好好道别 is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
我再也没有机会感谢父亲 感谢他教我的一切 I was never able to thank my father, for all I know from him.
告诉他 如果没有他的教诲 To tell him without his lessons,
我恐怕就活不了了 I would never have survived!
虽然理查德·帕克是一只老虎 但是 I know Richard Parker's a tigre, but
我多想告诉他 "都结束了 我们活下来了 I wish I had said: "It's over, we survived...
感谢你救了我的命 我爱你 理查德·帕克 thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker.
你会永远活在我的心里 You'll always be with me
但我没办法再陪你了" But I can't be with you."
我不知道该说什么 I don't know what to say.
这很难相信 对吧 It's hard to believe, isn't it?
我得慢慢消化 It is a lot to take in
才能明白其中更深的含义 to figure out what that all means.
没有 事情就是这样 No, if it happened, it happened.
为什么要求一切都有深意呢 Why should it have to mean anything?
但某些部分还是难以置信 But some of it is pretty incredible.
我是船难中唯一幸存下来的人 See, I was the only one who survived the ship wreck.
那个日本的航运公司派了两个人来找我问话 The Japanese shipping company sent two men to talk to me,
就在我休养的那家墨西哥医院里 in the Mexican hospital where I was recovering.
我现在还留着那次报告的复印件 I still have a copy of the report.
因为有些保险理赔的事务要处理 There are insurance claims to settle.
他们想弄清那艘船沉没的原因 They wanted to find out why the ship sank.
但他们却不相信我的故事 They didn't believe me, either.
成千上万的海岛猫鼬 Thousands of meerkats,
生活在一个无人知晓的食人浮岛上 on an floating carnivorous island, and no one has ever seen it.
是的 正如我所说 Yes. Just like I told you.
香蕉可不会浮在水上 Bananas don't float.
这和香蕉有什么关系
你说那只红毛猩猩是坐在 You said the orangutan floated to you
一捆浮在水上的香蕉来到你船上的 on a bundle of bananas,
但香蕉是不会浮在水上的 but bananas don't float.
你确定吗
会的 你自己试试就知道了 Of course they do, you try it for yourself!
不论如何 香蕉和海岛猫鼬也不是重点 In any case, we are not here to talk about bananas or meerkats.
我刚说完一个很长的故事 我累了 Look, I just told a long story, and I'm very tired.
我们找你是为了查清那日本货轮 We are here because a Japanese cargo ship
在太平洋沉没的原因 sank in the Pacific!
我永远不会忘记这件事 Something I'll never forget.
我失去了所有家人 I lost my whole family.
给他倒点水
我们也不是要逼你 We don't mean to push you.
我们对你的遭遇表示同情 And you have our deepest sympathies.
但我们千里赶来 But we have come a long way,
却没弄清船难发生的原因 and we are not closer to understanding why the ship sank.
因为我不知道 Because I don't know!
当时我睡着了 被什么东西吵醒了 I was asleep, something woke me up,
可能是爆炸声 我也不确定 it could have been an explosion, I can't be sure.
然后船就沉了 And then the ship sank.
你还想从我这儿问出什么 What else do you want from me?
一个合理的说法 而不是天方夜谭 A story that won't make us look like fools.
我们需要一个简单的故事来交差 We need a simpler story for our report.
一个公司能看懂的故事 One our company can understand.
一个大家都相信的故事 A story we can all believe.
不要那些闻所未闻的东西 So a story without things you've never seen before.
对 That's right.
不要千奇百怪的事 也不要动物的浮岛 Without surprises, without... animals or islands.
是的 我们要真相 Yes. The truth.
你怎么跟他们说的 So... what did you do?
我给他们说了另一个故事 I told them another story.
有四个人幸存下来 Four of us survived,
当时厨子和水手已经登上了救生艇 the cook and the sailor were already aboard.
厨子丢给我一个救生圈 把我拉上船 The cook threw me a life buoy and pull me aboard,
我母亲也抓着一捆香蕉上了救生艇 and Mother held on on some bananas and made it to the life boat.
那厨子品行极为恶劣 The cook... was a disgusting man.
他吃了一只老鼠 He ate a rat!
船上的应急食品够吃好几周了 We had food enough for weeks,
才过了几天 他抓到一只老鼠就吃了 but he found the rat in the first few days and he killed it,
他把它晾干就这么吃了 he dried it in the sun and ate it.
禽兽不如 Just a brute bad man.
但他也很有办法 But he was resourceful.
是他提出造一艘木筏来捕鱼的主意 It was his idea to build the raft to catch fish,
要不是他 我们估计撑不了几天 we would have died in those first few days without him.
那个水手就是之前 The sailor was the same man
端着肉汁拌饭过来的佛教徒 who brought rice and gravy, the buddhist.
我们不太能听懂他说的话 We didn't understand much what he said,
除了他痛苦的哀嚎 only that he was suffering.
他跳上救生艇的时候 摔折了腿 He'd broken his leg horribly in the fall.
我们尽力处理了伤口 We tried to set it best we could,
但他的腿伤还是逐渐感染了 but the leg became infected.
厨子说我们得给他截肢 不然他会死的 And the cook said that we had to do something, but he... died.
厨子说他来动手 The cook said he'd do it,
母亲和我则负责按住那个水手 but Mother and I had to hold the man down.
我相信了 只有这样才能救他 And I believed him, we needed to do it.
于是 So...
我不断地说 "对不起 对不起" I kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry".
而他只是看着我 他的眼神真的... He just kept looking at me, his eyes were so...
我永远都不明白 为何要让他受这般折磨 I'll never understand the point of that man suffering.
现在我耳边还会响起他那句 I can still hear him:
"佛教徒好打发 你可以吃肉汁拌饭" "I am happy Buddist, you need rice and gravy."
我们最终还是没救活他 他死了 We didn't save him, of course. He died.
一天早晨 厨子第一次钓到了金枪鱼 The morning after the cook caught his first Dorado
一开始我还不知道他搞了什么花样 and I didn't understand what he'd done at first,
但母亲明白了 我从来没见过她那么生气 but Mother did, and I had never seen Mother so angry.
"别瞎抱怨 知足吧" 厨子说 "Stop whining and be happy", he said.
"吃的够多才能活下去 这才是最重要的" "We need more food or we'll die, thas was the whole point!"
"有什么重要 "What was the whole point, Madrast?
你害死他就是为了拿他当鱼饵 禽兽” You let that poor boy dying only to get bait, you monster!"
他突然疯了似的举起拳头向她冲去 He's got furious, he started towards her with his fists raised,
而母亲重重地抽了他一耳光 And Mother slapped him hard right across the face!
我愣住了 I was stunned!
当时我以为他会立刻杀了她 I thought he was gonna kill her right then.
但他没有 He didn't.
他继续用水手的尸体作饵捕鱼 The cook didn't stop with bait either, no...
那个水手 The sailor...
他的下场和那只老鼠一样 he went the same way as the rat went.
厨子是个诡计多端的人 The cook was a resourceful man.
一周之后他又 It was a week later that he...
都怪我 because of me.
怪我没抓住一只该死的乌龟 Because I couldn't hold on this stupid turtle.
它从我手上滑走了 It slipped out of my hand and swam away,
厨子过来就朝我的侧脸揍了一拳 and the cook came up, and he punched me on the side of my head,
这一拳打得我眼冒金星 嘴里牙齿叮当作响 and my teeth clacked and I saw stars,
我以为他会继续揍我 I thought he was gonna hit me again,
但母亲开始拼命地打他 but Mother started pounding on him,
满面狰狞地吼叫着 "禽兽 禽兽" with her face screaming "Monster, monster!"
她拉着我往木筏游去 She held with me go to the raft.
"快跳" "Nipola!"
我以为她会一起来 不然我绝对会留下 I thought she was coming with me, or I'd never have!
不知道当时我为什么没让她先走 I don't know why I didn't make her go first.
我每天都在想这个问题 I think about that every day.
我纵身一跃 回头正好看到厨子拿出了刀 I jumped over and turned back just as the knife came out.
而我却无能为力 There wasn't anything I could do.
只能看着 Couldn't look away...
他把她的尸体扔到海里 He threw her body overboard,
鲨鱼循着血迹游过来 and then the sharks came.
我看见 它们 看见 And I saw, they... saw...
第二天 我杀了他 Next day, I killed him.
他没有还手 他知道自己太过分了 He didn't even fight back, he knew he'd gone too far.
即便是他 也觉得太过分了 Even by his own standards.
他把刀子放在了船舷边上 He left the knife out of the bench,
就像他对水手一样 我也那么处理了他 and I did to him what he did to the sailor.
他很丑恶 但始终是个人 He was such an evil man, but was still hum...
他引出了我内心的恶魔 He brought the evil out of me!
我只能忍受着恶魔的折磨 And I have to live with that.
救生艇上就我一个人 I was alone in the lifeboat,
漂越了整个太平洋 drifting across the Pacific ocean,
我活了下来 and I survived.
说完之后 他们也哑口无言了 After that, they had no more questions.
那两个调查员似乎不喜欢这个故事 The investigators didn't seem to like the story, exactly.
他们向我致谢 祝我早日康复 They thanked me. They wished me well,
之后就离开了 and they left.
也就是说 So the story is.
斑马和水手都摔断了腿 Both the zebra and the sailor broke their leg.
鬣狗咬死了斑马和红毛猩猩 And a hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan.
所以说 So...
厨子就是那只鬣狗 The hyena is the cook,
水手是那只斑马 the sailor is the zebra,
你母亲则是那只红毛猩猩 your mother is the orangutan.
那 And...
你就是 you're...
老虎 the tiger.
我能问个问题吗 Can I ask you something?
当然 Of course.
海上的故事我讲了两个版本 I told you two stories about what happened out in the ocean.
这两个故事都没有阐明货轮失事的原因 Neither explains what cause the sinking of the ship.
而且没有人能证明它们孰真孰假 And no one can prove which story is true and which is not.
两个故事中 船都沉了 In both stories, the ship sinks,
我都失去了家人而且备受折磨 my family dies, and I suffer.
确实 True.
那你更喜欢哪个故事 So which story do you prefer?
有老虎的那个 The one with the tiger.
那个好多了 That's the better story.
谢谢 Thank you.
它也更接近上帝的旨意 And so it goes with God.
玛玛吉说得对 Mamaji was right.
这是个神奇的故事 It's an amazing story.
你愿意让我写下它吗 Will you really let me write it?
