亲爱的玛格丽特 "Dearest Meg, I'm having a glorious time.
我拥有显赫的时光 我喜欢他们所有人
I like them all.
他们一家比你想象中更快乐 They are the happiest, jolliest family you can imagine.
有趣的是他们觉得我是个笨蛋 The fun of it is, they think me a noodle.
And say so. At least Mr. Wilcox does.
威尔科克斯是这么说的
我们是不是应该少说一点 Oh, Meg, shall we ever learn to talk less.
但是玛格丽特，亲爱的玛格丽特 我不知道要说什么 But dearest Meg...
i don't know what to say or what you will say.
保罗.威尔科克斯和我正在恋爱中 Paul wilcox and I are in love.
我们订婚了 We are engaged."
噢,你这个史克丽侏 迪比,你看 - Well, you Schlegel girls! - Tibby, look.
玛格丽特,打扰一下 Margaret, if I may interfere.
到底是怎么会事 What is going on?
我...我不知道 朱莉娅阿姨,我不懂 I can tell you nothing, aunt Juley. I know no more than you do.
我们只是上次春天游览德国的时候 见过威尔科克斯一家 We only met the wilcoxes last spring while we were hiking in germany.
噢,天啊 Oh, dear.
必须找人去霍华德家调查清楚 Someone must go down to howards house to make inquiries.
霍华德庄园 不,询问是一定要的 - Howards end. - Inquiries are necessary.
我们了解他们吗 What do we know about these wilcoxes? Are they our sort? Likely people?
他们是和我们一样的人吗
朱莉娅阿姨,这有什么关系呢 But aunt Juley, what does it matter?
海伦恋爱了 我知道这个就够了 Helen's in love. That's all I need to know.
亲爱的,给我张火车时刻表 Please get me a train timetable, dear.
早上好 - Good morning. - Good morning.
早上好
保罗 Paul?
据说可瑞又病了 I'm afraid Crane has reported sick again.
他曾经带我去过霍灵顿,我告诉他 He was to take me to the worrington's today for tennis. I told them.
他是假装的,我肯定 He's standing, of course.
换一个司机,爸爸 Get rid of him, father, hire a new chauffeur.
妈妈,我们要走了,再见 Mother, we're off. Good-bye.
卡里斯,等等,等一下 Charlie, wait.
爸爸吗 是的 - What? - Is papa there?

我们有些樱桃
火车开了
再见!我们走了
再见
关于昨天晚上 没事发生 - About last night. - Nothing happened.
吓死我了 我们一样 - I'm afraid I lost my head. - Yes, we both did.
一定是月光的关系 除非那里没月亮 Must've been the moonlight, except there was no moon.
好了,没事了 Well, that's quite all right.
你介意吗 不 - Do you mind? - No.
你知道,我没钱 I have no money of my own...
而又必须去尼日利亚 and I have to make my way in Nigeria.
那里的气候和习俗还有其它的一切 对白种女人都十分苛刻 It's beastly there for a white woman, with the climate, natives and all that.
我觉得你是个很妙的人 这不是很好吗 - I think you're a ripping girl. - It's quite all right.
没人知道 No one knows about it.
玛格丽特!我的妹妹 - Meg! I wrote to my sister. - You didn't!
你没有 对不起 Yes, I'm sorry. She's sure to come. We must stop her.
她一定会来的
我们发份电报 啊,可瑞病好了 We'll send a telegram. Crane's off sick.
那不是自行车吗 是的,在那 - Isn't there a bicycle? - Yes, there is somewhere.
那要1.5个便士,先生 That'll be one and threepence 70, sir.

London, west.
亲爱的玛格丽特 "Dear Meg. All over.
都结束了,希望我从来没写过 别告诉任何人,海伦 Wish i'd never written. Tell no one. Helen."
打扰一下,我想找霍华德庄园 Excuse me. I'm looking for somewhere called howards house.
威尔科克斯先生,这位女士想去霍华德庄园 Mr. Wilcox, this lady wants Howards End.
真对不起,你是小威尔科克斯先生 还是老威尔科克斯先生 Forgive my asking. Are you the younger Mr. Wilcox or the elder?
小威尔科克斯 The younger.
啊哈,这样真的太讨厌了 The station's unorganized. If I had my way, the whole lot would be sacked.
这个地方会被洗劫的
谢谢 谢谢你,先生 - Thank you, bernard. - Thank you, sir.
我先介绍下我自己 我是史克丽侏小姐的阿姨 I should introduce myself. I am miss Schlegel's aunt.
啊,你们真像 你想见她吗 Rather. Yes, miss Schlegel's stopping with us.
那太好了 我可以带你去 - Do you want to see her? - That would be very nice.
I could run you up.
史克丽侏家的人都十分特别 All the Schlegels are exceptional.
他们骨子里都是英国人 They are british to the backbone...
但是他们的父亲是德国人 but their father was german...
之所以这样,他们才那么注重文学和艺术 and that is why they care for literature and art.
稍等一下 Just one minute.
威尔科克斯,霍华德庄园 Wilcox, Howards End!
我来了不是要干涉什么事情 Know that I come in no spirit of interference.
我是代表我们家族来的 I'm here to represent the family...
想和你们谈谈关于海伦的事情 and to talk to you about helen wilcox...
我的侄女和你 my niece, and you.
史克丽侏小姐和我 Miss Schlegel and myself?
我没听错吧 I trust there's no misunderstanding.
我是订婚了,但是不是和史克丽侏小姐 It's true I'm engaged to be married...
but to another young lady, not to miss Schlegel.
海伦给我们写信了,告诉了我们所有的事 Helen wrote to us. She has told us everything.
老天啊,那是保罗做的蠢事 Good god! It's some foolery of Paul's!
你就是保罗 - But you are Paul. - No, I'm not.
不,我不是 那你为什么这样说 - Why did you say so? - I said nothing of the sort.
我不是 你是 - You did. - I did not. My name is Charles.
我的名字叫卡里斯
你的意思是保罗和你的侄女 You mean to tell me that Paul and your niece have... the idiot!
那个白痴
十足的白痴 Damn fool!
看,我警告过你,那样没用的 保罗一分钱都没 Look, I warn you.
It's useless. Paul hasn't a penny.
那警告不是这个方面的 No need to warn us. The warning is all the other way.
他没说什么 但你的侄女已经到处说去了 He hasn't told us, but your niece lost no time in publishing the news.
威尔科克斯先生,如果我是个男人的话 我会扇你耳光 If I were a man, for that last remark i'd box your ears.
你不适合我的侄女 You're not fit to sit in the same room as my niece.
她散播这个消失 或者她是无所事事 - She spread the news, he hasn't. - Or to clean her boots.
可以让我说完吗 不!我没兴趣和这样的人争吵 - Might I finish my sentence? - No! I won't argue with such a person.
我要下车,现在 Let me out of this car this instant.
别站起来,坐下 快停,快停下来 Don't stand up. Sit down! Sit down!
坐下 看在老天的份上 Just sit down! Goodness sakes!
推下来
那将是,我觉得 平心而论 It will, I think, be generally admitted...
贝多芬的第五交响曲是最庄严肃穆的 that beethoven's fifth symphony...
is the most sublime noise...
渗透所有人的耳朵 ever to have penetrated the ear of man.
可是,那是什么意思 But what does it mean?
我们很难理解这样的音乐 You can hardly fail to recognize in this music...
很棒的戏剧,一个英雄在困境中奋斗 a mighty drama.
The struggle of a hero beset by perils...
取得伟大的胜利 凯旋归来 riding to magnificent victory and ultimate triumph...
就如同第一章后面部分 as described in the development section of the first movement.
所描述的那样
我想你留意第三章 I want to draw your attention to the third movement.
我们不再听到英雄 只有一个妖精 We no longer hear the hero, but a goblin.
谢谢,妈妈 Thank you, mother.
只有它一个 Single, solitary goblin...
孤独的妖精
越过 walking across the universe...
宇宙
从开始到结束 from beginning to end.
为什么是妖精 Why a goblin?
音乐结束 - I beg your pardon? - Why a goblin?
什么? 为什么是妖精
恩,很明显的 It's obvious.
妖精是不存在的象征 The goblin signifies the spirit of negation.
但为什么要指定是一只妖精 But why specifically a goblin?
悲哀和空虚 对不起 Panic and emptiness. That is what...
那是妖精的象征 a goblin signifies.
小音阶,表达痛楚
大音阶,华丽
我们的英雄胜利了
小姐 Miss!
对不起,小姐,我的伞 Excuse me, miss, but my umbrella.

一会见
倒霉透了 Astonishing bad luck...
他们找不到其它任何可以租用的公寓 that in the whole of london they could find no flat to rent...

噢,小姐 Oh, miss!
怎么?迪比病了吗 What is it? Is Tibby ill?
迪比在沏茶 Tibby's making tea.
啊哈,没有比这更糟糕的事了
Well, there's nothing worse than that.
现在,海伦...噢,亲爱的 Now, helen...
一些奇怪的事发生了 something odd has happened.
请你发誓你不会介意 Promise me you won't mind.
是威尔科克斯家的事情 It's the wilcoxes.
他们在对面的公寓为他们的儿子 准备婚礼 They've taken the flat opposite for the wedding of their son.
另一个儿子 The other son.
你介意了 You do mind.
他还说,那里住的女生,曾经想要 和我一起生活 Will Paul wilcox point and say, '; there lives the girl who tried to catch me"?
荒谬 Ridiculous.
守门的说,他们才住了几个星期
They've only taken the flat for a few weeks, the porter said.
我们是屈服还是和他们对着干到底 Do we bow or cut them dead?
亲爱的,你怎么不接受 弗里达表姐的邀请 Darling, why don't you take up cousin frieda's invitation...
去汉堡住几个星期呢 and go to hamburg for those few weeks?
我想我应该这样的 I think I shall.
没什么,可 Not that it matters, but...
没人愿意和威尔科克斯家的人 老是混在一起的 one wouldn't want to keep bumping into wilcoxes.
迪比,你别把所有的烧饼都吃完了 Don't hog all those scones, Tibby.
那个年轻男子是来找我们的吗 Is that young man for us, do you suppose?
他是为我们而来的 He is for us.
恩,小姐,你拿了我的雨伞 If you'll pardon me, miss. You took my umbrella.
我没注意到,不好意思 Inadvertently, I'm sure.
在民族会堂 音乐与想象 At the ethical hall. ;'music and meaning."
啊,真对不起 I'm so sorry.
我不是想偷雨伞的 I do nothing but steal umbrellas. Come in and choose one.
进来选一个
我们看看,你的是有钩的还是折迭的 Let's see. Is yours a hooky or a knobbly?
我想我的是折迭的 这个呢 I think mine's a knobbly.
That's Tibby's. How about this one? You shouldn't open these indoors.
你不应该在室内打开的,别介意
真是个奇怪的雨伞,还有裂缝 It's gone along the seams.
This is an appalling umbrella. It must be mine.
应该是我的
真对不起 I'm sorry.
我妹妹偷了你的伞吗 Has my sister stolen your umbrella?
不会有下次了,她不是小偷,我感到抱歉 Not again, helen. She is an incorrigible thief. I am so sorry.
我说,留下喝杯茶,先生 Do stay for tea, Mr...
贝斯特 贝斯特先生 - bast. - Won't you stay for tea?
来,留下喝杯茶吧,贝斯特先生 这是我们唯一可以做的 Do stay for tea.
It's the least we can do, having made you all wet.
我们的弟弟在二楼 Our brother's upstairs to chaperone.
他湿透了,上来 快带他上来 - He's soaked, Meg. Please come up. - Bring him upstairs.
你觉得那演讲怎么样
What did you think of the lecture? I don't agree about goblins.
我不同意妖精的说法 But I do about the heroes and shipwreck.
我老是想象大象在用尾巴支着来跳舞 I'd always imagined a trail of elephants dancing at that point.
他显然没有 音乐与想象,玛格丽特 He obviously didn't. ;'music and meaning," margaret.

要是只有音符,那是多么的无聊 How boring it would be if it were only the score.
中国茶?只有音符? 好狡猾的只有 China tea? Only the score? What an insidious omen.
我们还有其它茶 谢谢 We have other tea if you prefer.
Thank you.
这里还有点烧饼 迪比没有全吃光 Here's some scones that Tibby hasn't yet consumed.
我们真的非常抱歉 We're sorry to have inconvenienced you. I hope you will come another day.
希望你会再来
Would you?
请收下我们的卡片 我们会感到十分荣幸 We should be so glad. Do take our card.
谢谢,我要走了 Thank you.
If you'll excuse me, i must be going.
我送你出去,真的不要烧饼吗 I'll see you out. Are you sure you don't want a spot for the journey?
不了,谢谢,我真的要走了,再见 No, thank you. I must be going. Good-bye.
为什么你不欢迎那个年轻人 Why didn't you make that young man welcome, Tibby?
你必须像个主人的样子 You must do the host a little, you know.
你应该尽力挽留他 You could've coaxed him into stopping...
而不是让他湿淋淋的离开了 去被那些女人嘲笑 instead of letting him be swamped by screaming women.
喝点热汤 Get your hot soup here!
热汤,幸福又温暖 Hot soup! Lovely and warm.

是的 那其它人呢 That's right. What's anyone ever done?
只有你和我 It's just you and me.
如果你离开我,我不知道要怎么办 If you was to leave me, i don't know what i'd do.

我们可以见面因为他们不可以 Now we can meet because they can't.
去年夏天发生的事情真是不幸 你觉得吗 It's no use beating about the bush. What happened in the summer...
was unfortunate for both of them, don't you feel?
我想你也是这样认为的 他们不应该见面 I'm sure you think the same way. Because they should not meet.
是的,我理解 Yes, I feel that.
他们可以相爱 却无法相处 They belong to types that can fall in love but can't live together.
十有八九的人都是这样的 I'm afraid that in 8 cases out of 10...
现实是现实,感情是感情 nature pulls one way and human nature the other.
我喋喋不休的,烦到你了 I do rattle on. I shall tire you out in no time.
今天我是有点不舒服 It is true, I am not particularly well today.

他不是喜欢旅游吗 是的,他喜欢 Yes, he likes travel.
但是他不太喜欢外国人 But he does see through foreigners.
他最喜欢的是在英国的汽车旅行 What he would enjoy most is a motor tour through england.
卡里斯和我十分像 史克丽侏小姐 Charles takes after me.
他真的很喜欢伦敦 He truly loves england.
不,当然,伦敦 我们都不喜欢伦敦 Not, of course, london. None of us love london.
那太 It's so...
让人觉得不稳定 it makes one feel so unstable, impermanent...
不长久
会和房子一样总倒塌 with the houses being torn down on all sides.
包括,我们不久的将来 Including, in the foreseeable future, ours.

I pity you from the bottom of my heart.
我不知道怎么说了 I had no idea this thing was hanging over you.
真可怕 How dreadful!
噢 好可怜的女孩 You poor girls.
我们喜欢那房子,那是个普通的伦敦房子 Of course, we are fond of the house...
but it is an ordinary London house.
我们应该要可以方便的联系彼此 We shall easily find another.
不 No, not in this world.
在这世上不是
不是你出生的那座房子 Not the house you were born in.
你再也找不到了 You'll never find that again. Poor, poor girls.
可怜,可怜的女孩
霍华德庄园曾差点被拆掉 Howards end was almost pulled down once.
差点害死我 It would've killed me.
那是我的房子 是我在印度死去的哥哥留给我的 It's my house. It was left to me by my brother who died in india.
我很爱它 I love it so.
我甚至反抗 当我的丈夫亨利 I even resisted when henry, my husband...
想利用它赚点钱 wanted to make changes to improve the property.
他当然很清楚怎么样最好 He knew best of course.
我们还有个车库 We even have a garage...

但是,大家请注意 他们对待诗歌是十分认真的 But... and this is a tremendous;'but"... they take poetry seriously.
他们真的十分认真地对待 - They take poetry seriously. - Is anything gained by that?
可那有什么好处吗 Yes! The germans are always striving for beauty.
德国人还总是为美女而努力

是一个哲学家,理想主义者 他崇尚黑格尔和康德 A philosopher, an idealist.

楼上那剑是你父亲的吗 Isn't that your father's sword upstairs in the drawing room?
是的,他还曾经是个军人 但是很不幸的 Yes. He was a soldier, too, when he had to be.
战斗胜利以后 他就被闲置了 He was so uncomfortable about being on the winning side...
he just hung up his sword and never used it again.
我的主意...总是 My idea has always been...
如果我们可以把...母亲们 if we could bring the mothers...
从...不同的国家...聚集在一起 of the various nations together...
那肯定就不会再有战争了 there would be no more war.
事实上,是的 很明显 - Indeed, yes. - Absolutely.
如果母亲们都不在了 他们就没有需要守护的人了 If the mothers went to war, there'd be no one left to defend.
威尔科克斯太太,要果子冻吗 谢谢你 - Have another cutlet. - Thank you.
有这样的仆人真幸运 You are fortunate in your cook.
想必你已经发现在伦敦很难有可信赖的仆人 We have found it difficult to get reliable servants in london.
是的,很难 都和我们一样不可靠 Servants have become as unreliable as we are.
我们无法指望他们听的懂激进的讨论 And we can hardly expect them to listen to radical discussions at the table.
安妮做的非常好 是您对我们很有耐心 Annie does very well, don't you annie? You're very patient with us.
我们从来不在霍华德庄园讨论 We never discuss at Howards End...
除了,或者会讨论下运动 except, perhaps, sport.
可是你得这样,讨论会让屋子里的气氛活跃 But you should. Discussion keeps a house alive.
你或者会嘲笑我的古老思想 You will laugh at my old-fashioned ideas.
我不会 I will not.
有时候我想 I sometimes think...
让男人去讨论和行动会比较好点 it would be wiser to leave action and discussion to men.
但是那样我们就没有投票权了 Then where would we be with the suffrage?
我只是庆幸不用给自己投票 L am only too thankful not to have the vote myself.
我们上去喝点咖啡吗 Shall we go up for coffee?

假装很享受午餐是没用的 It's no use you pretending you enjoyed lunch. You loathed it.
可是我希望你原谅我 我再单独一个人来 But I hope you will forgive me...
或者你有时间就喊我来 by coming again alone, or by asking me to you.
我很喜欢这个午餐 我喜欢下次还有这样的机会 I enjoyed my lunch very much.
Truly I did. I only wish i could've joined in more.
你...你真聪明
而且还...很棒 You're so clever, and yet so good.
不,都不,你这样说我很惶恐
It's kind of you, but I'm neither.
你让我不再是一个人发呆 You've been very good to me. You've kept me from brooding.
我很容易就一个人发呆 I'm too apt to brood.
关于什么 About what?
我不知道 我真的不自动 I really don't know.
我会想我的房子 I think about my house a great deal.
你还没有见过霍华德庄园 我很想让你看看 You've never seen Howards End. I want to show it to you.
这样是很科学的圣诞购物,列一张表 Now, this is the scientific approach to christmas shopping: A list.
列一张表,好主意 A list? What a good idea.

太好了,你帮我开了个头 Hooray!

是的,有些事是应该做的 - Surely something could be done. - No, values have risen enormously.
但是,价格一直涨,他们想把那里拆了 建成你们那样的房子
They mean to pull down wickham place and build flats like yours.
真恐怖 房东们都是这样的 - But they're horrible. - Landlords are horrible.
他们建的公寓也一样 And so are the flats they build.
我实在不明白,人们为什么会住进去 I fail to understand how people...
can actually choose to live in them.
这些都是 There we are.
这些都是,谢谢 There we are. Thank you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
谢谢 Thank you.
恩,啊
对不起,我们今天不该这样 I sorry. We shouldn't have done this today.

以前 我做手术之前 Before?
我还没有告诉我家人 大家都讨厌生病 Before my operation.

这样很正常 That's as it should be.
那里有棵栗子树 在霍华德庄园里 There's a chestnut tree at Howards End...
有个猪牙镶在离地四英尺的树干上 that has pig's teeth stuck into the trunk...
about four feet from the ground.
是的,猪的牙齿 Yes, the teeth of a pig.
是乡下人很久以前镶上去的 The country people put them there long ago...
他们相信那样啃一片吃皮 and they think that if they chew a piece of the bark...
就可以治牙疼 it will cure the toothache.
我欣赏民间传说 和迷信 I love folklore...
and the old superstitions.
那很奇怪,不像希腊和英国没有真的神话 Isn't it curious, though, that unlike greece...
england has no true mythology?
我们只有童话故事 All we have are witches and fairies.
你会和我去霍华德庄园吗 Will you come with me to Howards End?
我很高兴有这样荣幸 - I would so much like to. - Come with me now.
现在就和我去,我们现在就去吧 现在太晚了点吧
- Now? It's too late... - there's a train at 5:00 if we hurry.
要是快点的话,五点还有火车 我想让你看看
我也很想看看 那听起来是一个很显赫的地方 - I want you to see it. - And I want to see it.
It sounds such a glorious place, so redolent.
是的,我结婚前在那住了很久 Yes. L lived there long before i was married.
我在那里出生的 I was born there.
我可以改天去吗 Might I come some other day?
恩..改天吧 Yes.
Some other day.
好的,很感谢你的帮忙 史克丽侏小姐 Well, a thousand thanks, miss Schlegel, for your help.
把心理话都说出来真舒服 It is a comfort to have the presents off my mind.
The christmas cards especially.
我很喜欢你的选择 I do admire your choice.
啊
威尔科克斯太太 Mrs. Wilcox.
史克丽侏小姐 - I will come, if I still may. - Return to hilton, please.
要是我还行的话,我会回来的
你今晚一定要留下 是的 You must stop the night, my dear.
我的房子在清晨是最美的 It's in the morning my house looks most beautiful.
两个双程,谢谢 Two returns, please.
谢谢 Thank you.
这是你的 This is yours?
在有太阳的时候,我才让你看我的牧场 I can't show you my meadow properly except in sunlight.
那在意大利真浪漫 It was so romantic. It was in italy.
是的,两边都停有火车 我打开窗子 Yes, and the two trains stopped on either side.
看见有人拿着玫瑰花路过 我不知道他在什么地方得的 I opened the window and this man handed a rose across.
I don't know where he got it.
是意大利吗 我想也是 - Was he italian? - Yes, I think so. Italian.
他应该是意大利人 妈妈 He'd have to be italian, wouldn't he?
爱薇,可爱的小女孩 - Mother! - Evie!
鲁思吗 你不是在约克夏吗 - You never wrote. Look who I found. - What are you doing here?
我们撞车了,去是霍华德庄园吗 We crashed the car. Are you going to Howards End? Why? How are you?
是的 为什么
亲爱的 你还好吗 It's such a lovely surprise I'm fit as a fiddle.
好的很呢 记得史克丽侏小姐吗 - Do you remember miss Schlegel? - Yes. How are you?
史克丽侏小姐 是的,圣诞快乐
我们在约克夏撞了车 We crashed the car in yorkshire.
我们得走了,你去不了庄园 那是九点五十五分的 We must go home. You can't go to Howards End. It's 10 to 5:00.
史克丽侏小姐,我们只有另外找时间了 Miss Schlegel, I'm afraid our outing will have to be another day.
那是德国式的表达 史克丽侏小姐 - Before I forget. - There's a german expression with that.
没有取消,只有延期 和我们一起回家吗 Yes. Not canceled but postponed. Come home with us.
不,不了,你们请便 真的吗 No, no. Please. Good-bye.
再见 再见
看见你真高兴 Till later.
How lovely to see you.
我一直都想着你 I've been thinking of you.
还有我们的牧场 And of our meadow.
这里 Here.
等你康复了,我一定要你实践你的诺言 The day you are strong enough...
i shall hold you to your promise.
噢,史克丽侏小姐 Oh, miss Schlegel.
我们来重复一次,我们都在这里 So, to repeat. We have here...
是拜托看护院的护士长 forwarded by the matron of that nursing home...
密封了然后寄给我 sealed and addressed to me...
你妈妈的亲笔信 a note purporting to be in your mother's handwriting.
上面写着，我希望 史克丽侏.玛格丽特小姐 And it says...
"i would like miss Schlegel, margaret...
拥有霍华德庄园 to have Howards End."
妈妈从来没这样写过 Mother never wrote that.
没日期,没签名 No date.
No signature.
那肯定是伪造物 Of course. It's a forgery.
等等,一会,谢谢 Not now. Later. Thank you.
母亲把那房子留给她所希望给的人 The house was your mother's to leave to whom she wished.
让我看看 Let me see it.
那只不过是铅笔写的 铅笔写的不算数 It's only in pencil. Pencil never counts.
我们知道这不合法,多莉 Yes, we know it is not legally binding, dolly. We are aware of that.
当然,亲爱的,我们当你是家里的一员 Of course, my dear, we consider you as one of the family.
但是在你不清楚状况的前提下 请不要插嘴,谢谢 But it is better if you don't interfere with what you don't understand.
问题是 The question is...
在史克丽侏小姐设法和我妈妈 成为朋友的期间 whether, during the time miss Schlegel managed to befriend my mother...
我不觉得其中有不恰当的影响存在 在我脑海中的问题是 I don't think this is a case of undue influence.
To my mind the question is...
这张纸条写的不太合理 我亲爱的爸爸 the invalid's condition when the note was written.
如果你想应该和专家谈一下 My dear father, consult an expert if you wish...
但是我不会承认那是妈妈的笔迹 but I don't admit it is my mother's handwriting.
你才说是的 别在意,要是我曾经说了的话 You just said it was.
Never mind if I did.
那样的话,我们都同意,合法地把它撕了 So we're all agreed that I would be legally justified in tearing this up.
另外...要是这个已经通知了史克丽侏小姐呢 And all else aside...
how is this gift to be conveyed to miss Schlegel?
她是感兴趣住那儿还是要完全拥有呢 Is she to have a life interest in it or to own it absolutely?
她有可能一下子就把我们全都赶出去 She may be on her way down this very minute to turn us all out.
我认为史克丽侏小姐还没知道这件事 I don't believe miss Schlegel knows anything about...
是你妈妈的突发奇想 this whim of your mother's.
妈妈相信祖先 Mother believed so in ancestors.
她不会留任何东西给外人的 She would never have left anything to an outsider.
要是史克丽侏小姐变的很穷 她想要把 If miss Schlegel had been poor, if she'd wanted a house...
但是她已经有房子了 为什么还会想要另一个呢 but she has a house. Why should she want another?
她不会希望我们见到它 She wouldn't have wanted us to even see this thing.
不,你可怜的妈妈不会这样想的
Your poor mother would not have wanted it.
廉,你进来吗 Len, you coming in?
等一下,好的 In a minute.
Right.
你在看什么 What are you looking at?
看到那个大的没 那是主星 See that big one up there? That's ursa major.
大熊座 Great bear.
沿着这两个下次 四倍 You follow those two down about four times...
而那是北极星 我很肯定 and that one there is the polestar, I'm fairly certain.
他们只是星星 They're just stars.
洁姬,别这样,这很重要 Jacky, stop it. It's important.
你要知道你死亡的日子啊 You'll catch your death.
抱歉,先生 Excuse me, sir. The policy.
是,是,是,都签了 看起来不错 Yes, yes. That's all signed.
你可以...完成这个吗 Would you read that?
当然了,先生 Yes, of course.
树种在大柱子的后面 "The trees reared in mighty columns...
他们的顶部在阳光下发光 their tops still radiant in sunlight...
光透过密密麻麻的叶子 which, spilling down, went through the wealth of leaves...
最后溶解在漆黑的长满青苔的地上 dissolved at last in the darkness of the mossy earth.
它们的颜色慢慢从花里退去 Their color slowly faded from out of the flowers.
但是却留下了他们的香味 But their scent lingered to honey the air he breathed."
使他呼吸到的空气变甜
有个女人想见你,小姐 There's a woman to see you, ma'am.
不是女士吗,安妮 她没说她的名字 A woman and not a lady, annie?
- She won't give her name. - Ask her to come up.
喊她上来 她说她不 She says she won't come up.
恩,我们要下去 Then we shall have to go down.
下午好 Good afternoon.
我正在找我的丈夫 在这里吗 - I'm looking for my husband. - Here?
谢谢你,安妮 Thank you, annie.
我有我的理由相信他在这里 I have my reasons to believe he is here.
你可以在这里找他 不好意思,你丈夫的名字是什么 - You're welcome to search for him. - I'm so sorry.
廉纳德.百斯 我肯定你知道他的 - Your husband's name. - Leonard bast, as I'm sure you're aware.
玛格丽特,我们藏了百斯先生吗 Margaret, are we concealing a Mr. Leonard bast?
看来有点误会 There appears to have been some mistake.
我们不认识你丈夫 I do not think we are acquainted with your husband.
不,没有误会 我知道他曾经来过这里的 No, there's no mistake.
I know for a fact he has visited in this house.
他曾经在这里喝茶 好大胆的断言 - He had his tea here. - That is a grave allegation.
哈,已婚男人喝茶就是去鬼混 Yes, to have corrupted a married man with giving him tea.
我希望能帮上你什么忙 看起来你不能 I wish we could help.
It seems you can't...
或者是不帮 or won't...
除了嘲笑我的到来 except to have a laugh at my expense.
十分抱歉麻烦到你 午安 I'm sorry to have troubled you, and wish you a good afternoon.
你请随便 画室在冒烟 Do what you can for the house. The drawing room reeks of smoke.
如果你抽太多烟的话 我很怀疑 With rita smoking, too, the house might be more mousier.
I doubt it.
这个味道真不错 有一位百斯先生 This is lovely.
There's a Mr. Leonard bast.
真不敢相信 哈哈,失踪的丈夫 - It must be him. - The one you corrupted with tea.
那个来喝过茶的 我会招待他的
- I'll do the host. - Thank you.
谢谢 百斯先生,这边 Mr. Bast, come this way.
进来,百斯先生 Do come in, Mr. Bast. Good evening.
晚上好 请用点布丁 - Do come in and have pudding with us. - Or would you prefer some dinner?
还是一起吃晚饭呢
我吃过了,谢谢 - I've had my tea, thank you. - Have a chair.
来杯酒吗 不了,谢谢 Glass of wine? Port?
请坐,我们有什么可以帮忙的吗 No, thank you.
Do take a seat, and let us know how we can help you.
你忘记了你给过我这个 You wouldn't remember giving me this?
不是这样吧 这就是问题所在,你看 - Not at the time. - That was how it happened, you see.
什么 我们在什么地方见过,百斯先生 - How what happened? - Where did we meet, Mr. Bast?
我不记得了 一年前的事情了 I don't remember.
It was more than a year ago at the ethical society.
在民族会堂 有关音乐与想象的讲座
The lecture was on;'music and meaning."
是因为我的卡片而引起的误会吗 I see. The mistake arose out of my card, did it?
昨天有位女士来这里找你 她很担心的样子 The lady who called yesterday thought you were calling too and would find you.
下午,我和我太太说 In the afternoon, I said to my wife...
我和百斯太太说,我得打电话给我朋友 百斯太太说,打吧 i said to mrs. Bast, "i have to pay a call on some friends."
Mrs. Bast said to me, ;'do go."
但是我走了以后,她有重要的事情要和我商量 But while I was gone, she wanted me on important business...
又以为我来了这里,因为这个卡片 and thought I had come here, owing to the card.
我为我们的打扰感到十分抱歉 I tender my apologies, and hers...
for any inconvenience we may have caused.
没关系,真的 - None at all. - I still don't understand.
我还是不明白 你是什么时候打的电话 When did you say you paid this afternoon call?
当然是下午了 In the afternoon, of course.
星期六还是星期天 Saturday afternoon or sunday?
星期六 真的吗 - Saturday. - Really?
当你妻子来这里的时候你还在打电话吗 好漫长的造访 And you were still calling on sunday when your wife came here?
A long visit.
你来了就好了 其它的事都不是我们所关心的 It was good of you to come and explain.
The rest is no concern of ours.
我希望你和我们一起到楼上喝点咖啡 We are going upstairs for coffee. I do hope you will join us.
那不是你想的那样的 - Annie, pour the coffee. - It's not what you think.
我...我辞职了然后一直走 I was...
i left my office and walked.
彻底的离开伦敦 Right out of london.
整个星期六晚上都在一直走 I was walking all saturday night.
整个晚上?在黑暗中吗 All night? In the dark?
十分的黑,以至连自己的手都看不见 So dark I couldn't see my own hand.
百斯先生,你一定是天生的探索者 Mr. Bast, you must be a born explorer.
我试着按北极星的方向走,但是我走丢了 I tried to steer by polestar, but everything gets mixed and I lost it.
别跟我说北极星,我不太懂这个 你跟着它转啊 Don't tell me about polestar.
It goes round and round, and you go round with it.
是,可是为什么 为什么你要那样做 Yes, but why? Why did you do it?
我想...只是想一直走 I wanted to just walk.
走出去.我在读理查德德.弗朗的严酷的考验 Just get out.
I've been reading the ordeal of richard feverel.
那里有一章是写理查德德一直走了整个晚上 I remember. There's that chapter where richard walks all night.
在月夜的森林里 对,是那个什么 - In a forest by moonlight. - What was that wonderful...
我理解那意思 i know exactly what you mean.
迷人的森林 "The forest drooped glimmeringly."
等等,我明白了 Wait, I'll get it.
那章是,和自然的对话 The chapter's called;'nature speaks."
你们从哪里来的 - Where do your people come from? - London.
伦敦 我知道,我的意思是在那之前 I know. I mean before that.
他们不是都住在镇里 They didn't always live in a town.
不他们来自萨罗普署 他们在那里耕种 No. They came from around shropshire.
They worked on the land.
他们是农工 They were agricultural laborers.
那里,听见吗?是祖先的声音在呼唤你 There. You see? It was ancestral voices calling you.
是的 Here it is.
理查德德走的很快 ;'richard was walking hurriedly.
苍白的光示意黎明的到来 A pale gray light on the skirts of the flying tempest displayed the dawn."
你看过黎明的景像吗 有 - Did you see the dawn? - Yes, suddenly it got light.
漂亮吗 不 - Was it wonderful? - No.
只有灰色,而当时我又饿了 It was only gray. By that time i was so tired and hungry...
当你在夜里一直走的时候你会想要食物 i didn't know when you're walking, you want breakfast, lunch and tea.
我只有一包东西 All I had was a packet of woodbines.
Give Mr. Bast money!
We really must go.
Meg, come on.
你的百斯先生会不知道该怎么样 要是你给他钱的话 Mr. Bast wouldn't know what to do if you gave him money.
Nonsense. Money is educational, more than the things it buys.
玛格丽特,那么市侩的话怎么会在你嘴里出来的 Such crass materialism out of your mouth.
让我们给百斯先生钱吧 Give him money. Let us give Mr. Bast money.
What would it profit him if he gained the whole world and lost his own soul?
He won't gain his soul until he has enough money. Give Mr. Bast money.
再见,再见了 Good-bye.
谢谢你 Thank you.
晚安
你觉得这个世界上最重要的东西是什么 What do you think is the most important thing in the world?
我觉得对于你什么都是一样的 I suppose it is whatever matters to you most.
就拿爱情做例子 - Like love, for instance? - Like love or oxford, if you're Tibby.
是的象爱情 或者牛津,如果你是迪比
史克丽侏小姐?亨利.威尔科克斯 你好 - Henry wilcox. - Oh, hello!
晚上好 真高兴见到你 - Good evening. - How nice to see you.
我听到女士们正在谈论爱情 Wonderful surprise. I heard you ladies talking of love.
我们正在继续刚才的讨论 We were continuing a serious discussion.
是吗 Yes. We belong to a club which meets once a week to discuss subjects.
是我,我们参加了一个俱乐部 每个礼拜都会讨论一些事情
你最近怎样,我以为你在霍华德庄园 How are you? I would have thought you'd be down at Howards End.
霍华德庄园出租了 我们买了房子在伦敦那里 Howards end is let. We've bought a house in mayfair.
你是百万富翁啊 Supposing you were a millionaire.
我希望你是 恩 But I expect you are one.
我们认识一个很穷的年轻人 他很聪明很有才华 We have met a young man who is poor, sensitive and intelligent.
我们好奇,如果有富翁可以帮他的话 We wondered, if one was a millionaire, how one could help him.
他的职业是什么 他是个书记在 - What's his profession? - He's a clerk in...
在普菲宁火保险公司 the porphyrion fire insurance company.
在普菲宁吗 是的 - Porphyrion? - Yes.
啊哈,那史克丽侏小姐 如果我帮你的那个书记 Then, miss Schlegel, if I were to help your young clerk...
我劝他尽早和脱离普菲宁 为什么 i'd advise him to clear out of the porphyrion with all possible speed.
这是朋友间的,你明白 - Why? - This is between friends, understand.
普菲宁不行了,而且会在圣诞钱被收购 The porphyrion will be in the receivers' hands before christmas.
也就是说,他会倒闭 In other words, it'll smash.
听到没有,海伦 普菲宁要完了 Do you hear? Helen, the porphyrion will smash!
我们得让百斯先生找其它工作 We must warn Mr. Bast to get another place.
希望他会快点 I hope quickly.
- But rather than wait to make sure? - Decidedly.
不需要再确定吗 已经决定了 The man already in a situation when he applies for work...
如果某人正在工作岗位上 去找另一个工作,机会会多一点 stands a better chance.
这个是告诉你秘密 This is letting you into state secrets...
不过它只对员工有较大的影响 but it does affect an employer greatly.
人性,我害怕 Human nature, I'm afraid.
我们雇用别人,因为他们失业 Our human nature appears to be the other way.
We employ people because they're unemployed. The boot man.
以擦鞋的人为例
他是怎么样擦的 不怎么样 - How does he clean the boots? - Not well.
就现在来说,有个好工作相当的不容易 There you are.
Is it difficult for a clerk to get a situation?
是的,很不容易 我对霍华德庄园感到抱歉 - Yes, extremely. - I'm so sorry about Howards End.
你不住那里了 That you're not living there.
我觉得我明白那对威尔科克斯太太的意义 I have some idea how much her house meant to mrs. Wilcox.
但是对我们来说,它有很多不利 Yes, but to us, the family, it has certain drawbacks.
你可以帮我们的朋友找个新工作吗 Would you be able to help our friend to a new situation?
很不幸,我们只有十分少的空缺 Unfortunately we have very few positions and vacancies.
而一旦有空缺,将有上百个申请者 When there is one, there's always hundreds of applicants.
当然了 Of course.
非常荣幸高兴 是的,确实这样 - It has been a pleasure. - Yes, indeed.
我希望你那年轻的书记可以成功 I hope your young clerk finds success.
谢谢 晚安 Thank you. Good night.
他很急着走的样子,不是吗 He was in a hurry to get away.
百斯先生,我怕你会误会把我们的意思 Mr. Bast, I fear you may have thought our letter a little odd.
我们没有误导 只是说过头了 We're not odd, just over expressive.
一个女士讲得越多,越好 每次谈话女士都会表现的很聪明 The more a lady has to say, the better. Ladies brighten every conversation.
他们是很快乐的人 让我给你个盘子 I know, the darlings are regular sunbeams.
你的公司叫普菲宁,对吗 让你十分的挂虑吗 Your company is the porphyrion, isn't it?
Would you call it a solid concern?
蛋糕,是大的还是这些小的 Cake? This big one or one of these little deadlies?
那要看你是什么意思 It depends what you mean by solid.
我们被告知普菲宁要倒闭了了 We were told the porphyrion's a no-go.
我们的一个朋友认为它不行了 A friend of ours did think that it's insufficiently reinsured.
建议你离开 告诉你的朋友他错了 - And advised you to clear out. - You can tell your friend he's wrong.
啊,好棒 Oh, good!
错了,请讲 Wrong, so to speak.
怎么 说啊 How, so to speak?
我不能说他完全对 I wouldn't say he was right altogether.
他对了一部分吗 Then he is right partly?
告诉你的朋友...担心自己的生意就好了 Tell your friend to mind his own business.
安妮 威尔科克斯先生,威尔科克斯小姐 Mr. Wilcox, miss wilcox.
真惊喜 What a surprise!
在,他们真漂亮 - Pardon the intrusion. - Mr. Wilcox, do come in.
威尔科克斯先生进来
请原谅我们忽然到访 Please forgive us for this unexpected visit.
百斯先生,来和这些小狗玩吧 Mr. Bast, come play with the puppies.
威尔科克斯先生,这是百斯先生 This is Mr. Bast.
我要走了 I must be going.
真要走吗 好的,有空再来 - Must you really? - Oh, come again.
不,我不会来了 No, I shan't come again.
我觉得那样很无礼 你要我怎么样 I call that a very rude remark. What do you want to turn on me for?
我以为你邀请我是朋友的聊天 I thought you invited me here for a friendly chat.
而事实你是批评我的工作,因为他 噢,对,质问他,骚扰他 Instead you want to pick my brains about my place of business.
Oh, yes, cross-question him, pick his brains?
不,不 我们打扰了?是不是应该离开 Are we intruding? Shall we go?
不,不,海伦,追上他,解释下
Helen, go after him. Explain.
到底是怎么样了 What was all that about?
我知道不该来 事情总是会变糟糕的 I shouldn't have come. Before was all right, but things like that get spoiled.
事情是这样,但人不是 Things do, but people don't!
你真的不明白吗 我们真心提醒你关于普菲宁的事情 Don't you understand? We really did want to warn you about the porphyrion.
我们担心你 We were worried about you.
你们干嘛担心我 Why should you worry about me?
因为什么喜欢你,这就是原因 Because we like you! That's why!
你真笨 - You noodle. - No cause to call a person names.
那和名誉无关
是的,那是有人笨到了极点 There is when a person is being tremendously stupid.
听着,很严肃地 Listen, this is serious.
在事情发生前 你应该找一个新的工作 Our friend said you should look for another post before anything happens.
你会吗 - Will you? - I'll think about it.
我会考虑的 不,你必须行动 You must do more. You must search for another place while you still have one.
你得找个新的工作,当你还没有失去现在的
请保证你至少会这样做 Promise you'll do that at least? Please!
好吗
好的,谢谢,史克丽侏小姐 Ali right.
Thank you, miss Schlegel.
当你找到新工作的时候要来通知我们 Come and tell us when you've found another place. Or just come anyway.
别说不,千万不要说不 Don't say no. Don't dare to say no!
还有不要忘了你的雨伞,别又说我们收了你的 And don't forget your umbrella or you'll say we pinched it.
你应该小心点,不该让这样的人进来的 You ought to be more careful. Your servants should not let such people in.
是我们请他进来的,我们想见他想帮他 But we invited him in.
We wanted to see him again, talk to him and maybe help him.
不仅这样 Not only in a practical way.
你对人太好了,但是他们却在骗你 You're too kind. You behave too well to people, and then they impose on you.
我知道他那种人 I know the world and that type of man.
他不同,威尔科克斯先生 But he is not a type.
不,他是一个很与众不同的年轻人 No. He is a quite unusual young man. And he has something in him.
他有自己的想法 他想让自己有更好的东西
I don't know what it is except he wants something better than he's got.
啊哈 是的 - Oh. - Yes.
他很浪漫 He has romantic ambition.
你对他的观点就是浪漫 It is your view of him that is romantic.
史克丽侏小姐
爱薇
还记得威尔科克斯太太 We wish you to have something to remember mrs. Wilcox by...
要回报你和她的情谊吗 in return for your kindness.
啊,十分感谢 Oh, thank you so much.

她想让你拥有它,她为此而骄傲 She would want you to have it. She spoke very fondly of you.

谢谢,谢谢你.爱薇 Thank you. Thank you, evie.
她看起来像什么呢 相当古老的式样 What's she look like?

是的,我们正想要恢复成英国式的箱子 We are averting to a civilization of luggage.
谢谢 谢谢,先生 - Thank you. - Thank you, sir.
我一直都有小费 向来这样 Always tip the carver. '; tip everybody" is my motto.
那样令生活更人性化 而他们也会记住 - Perhaps it does make life more human. - And these fellows remember one again.
特别是在东方,要是你给小费的话 Especially in the east. If you tip, they'll remember you from year to year.
你有去过东方吗 有,希腊,地中海地区 - Have you been in the east? - Yes. Greece, livanatai.
我还去过塞浦路斯谈生意和运动 I used to go for sport and business to cyprus.
一点点恩惠就可以人的记忆不退 A few piastres help to keep one's memory green.

Not a bit. Simply realistic.

你不喜欢芝士.我没有点 我喜欢芝士 You don't like cheese. You never take cheese.
你说过你不喜欢的 那是最卑劣的谎话 - I adore cheese. - You said you didn't.

你脸都红了 我没有
你有,你的耳朵 爱薇,我喜欢这样 - I haven't. - Your ears are pink about the tips.
I like that.
我是史克丽侏小姐的房屋经纪 Miss Schlegel expects me to act as house agent for her.
我想在9月时拥有一个新房子 必须有人去找,我不行 I want a new home in september, and someone must find it. I can't.

Can't say I do.
我希望你可以把霍华德庄园给我们 I wish you would give us Howards End.
霍华德庄园,我想它已经租出了 I'm afraid it's let.
你可以转租给我们吗 Can't you turn out your tenant, let it to us?
不
我们快疯掉了 We're nearly demented.
威尔科克斯先生,我有点精神错乱 Mr. Wilcox, I am demented.
一个小建议 One bit of advice.
修整下你那地方,改一下价格 那就会没事了 Fix your district, fix your price, then don't budge.
这就是我怎么拿到爵司街和奥灵顿的 That's how I got ducie street and oniton.

为你到处去看看 i shall look around for you.
你会吗 当然 - Would you? - Yes.
你真的会吗 是的 Would you really? How kind!
你太好了!但是这个房子的建筑不适合 史克丽侏一家 I warn you, the house has not been built that would suit the Schlegel family.
这没什么有趣的帮助 It's no fun trying to help us.
有趣?不,但是我给予史克丽侏.玛格丽特 小姐特殊照顾和让她快乐的 Fun? No, but a pleasure and a privilege...
to do whatever I can for miss margaret Schlegel.
太感谢你了 Thank you very much.
亲爱的史克丽侏小姐 "Dear miss Schlegel...
容我大胆邀你在假日时来伦敦 dare I intrude on your holiday and request you to come up to london?
这里是你不可错过的地方 而且事情比较紧急 Where, I may add, you are greatly missed.
Matter is of some urgency."
但还是打扰了你的假日 But to interrupt your holiday!
在我们同意去旅行之前
And before we have undertaken any of our excursions.
你还没有去过九推车镇 You haven't even been to nine barrows down.
我知道,我必须尽快回去 I know, but I shall be back before long.
今天我们就到镇里去 然后有可能的话就把房子拿了 Let me go up to town today, and take the house if it's possible.
是谁的房子 Whose house is this?
威尔科克斯先生的,你真笨 你还是不清楚我们的意思吗 Mr. Wilcox's. Are you being obtuse on purpose?
看,以拥有去改变环境 Look. ;'owing to changed circumstances..."
爱薇准备结婚了,那是他的女儿 我不再需要那么大的伦敦房子 he means that evie's getting married. That's his daughter.
"I no longer have need for a london house of this size...
我很乐意把他长租出去 那真完美 and am willing to let it on a yearly tenancy."
It's perfect.
在我们的熟人里 威尔科克斯先生是最执着的 Out of all our acquaintances, Mr. Wilcox is the only one who stuck...
我们认识了更多有趣的人 and yet we've met far more interesting people.
有趣的人没有一间房子 Interesting people don't get one houses.
我不该忘记那可怕的卡里斯开可怕的车 I shall never forget that dreadful motor drive with that dreadful Charles.
令人安慰的是我可以帮你们的忙 My one consolation is that I was able to be useful to you girls.
谢谢,朱莉娅阿姨 Thank you, aunt Juley.
现在是我发挥作用的时候了 And now it is my turn to be useful.
这是舞厅 This is the ballroom.
老天 Goodness!
喜欢吗 - Like it? - Rather!
太棒了
我还没看过这么棒的 Even I know a good thing when I see it.
但是现在,爱薇要出嫁了 当我晚上回来的时候 Yes, but nowadays with evie always out with her fiance...
我会触景伤情的 when I get home in the evenings, i can't stand the place.
会让你觉得很孤独 是的 - It would be very lonely for you. - Yes.
你曾经有感到孤独吗 Do you ever get lonely?
很快就会了,真可怕 I soon shall horribly.
离开老家总让人觉得伤心 It's heartbreaking to leave one's old home.
啊,天花板到底有多高啊 Goodness! How high this ceiling must be.
是,超过30尺 不,可能40,我觉得
Yes, it must be over 30 feet. No, maybe 40, I should think.
甚至可能更高 Perhaps even more.
史克丽侏小姐
恩
我好像让你在这听讲错误的讲解 I've had you up here on false pretenses.
我想严肃的谈下关于这房子的事 I want to speak on a much more serious matter than the house.
恩
你认为你可以共享 Do you think you could be induced to share...
我是说, 这是很可能的 i mean, is it at all probable...
噢,恩,我明白 oh, yes, I see.
史克丽侏小姐...玛格丽特 Miss Schlegel...
margaret, I don't think you quite understand.
我认为你不明白
啊,是的，真的 我在求你当我的妻子 Oh, yes, indeed yes.
- I'm asking you to be my wife. - Yes, I know. I know.
是的,我知道
我明白 让你不高兴了吗
我怎么会 - Are you offended? - How could I be?
是不是我应该要写下来 Perhaps I should have written first.
不,你会收到我的信 No! Rather you will receive a letter from me.
谢谢 不客气 - Thank you. - Not at all. And it's you I thank.
是我应该谢谢你
恩
我现在是不是该买车 Should I order the motor around now?
那实在太好了 That would be most kind.
爱薇,她不会再踏入这个房子了 I am warning you, evie, she will never set foot in this house.
那不是我的错 那当然是你的错 - It's not my fault! - Of course it's your fault.
老是和史克丽侏家的女孩那么亲热 Going around hobnobbing with those Schlegel girls.
女孩?她们不能算是女孩了 They're hardly girls.
我从来没有这样想过 L never dreamt of such a thing.
爸爸让我打电话邀请她去辛普森 Dad took me to call, and made me ask her to simpson's.
恩,我和爸爸有隔膜 I'm altogether off dad.
你把笛顿弄醒了 我知你会 You've woken diddums. I knew you would.
Well, miss Schlegel's fairly got us on toast.
史克丽侏小姐大概会请我们喝酒
你知道,她一直想得到整个霍华德庄园. She always meant to get hold of Howards End.
现在,谢谢你 她得到了 Now, thanks to you, she's got it.
我觉得那样很不公平 I call that most unfair.
爱薇,为什么你不解除婚约 Evie, why don't you pretend to break off your engagement?
那样你爸爸可能就不会和史克丽侏小姐结婚了 Then perhaps your father will also quarrel with miss Schlegel.
别说那些没头没脑的事了 我正准备结婚呢 Stop talking nonsense.
I'll get married as soon as possible, and dad can do what he likes.
父亲可以做任何他想做的事 她要取代妈妈的位置
Taking mother's place. The idea!
这个主意
我可以把那女人的眼睛挖出来 I could scratch that woman's eyes out.
Tootle, tootle.
拜托,多莉,我来试试 说废话是没用的 Come on, dolly, I'll have a try.
我们处境不利 得找个最好的出路 It's no use talking.
We're in a bad hole, and must make the best of it.
不过我会随时注意着史克丽侏家的人的 But I'll keep my eye on those Schlegels.
而一旦她们露出狐狸尾巴 And if I find them putting on airs with their artistic beastliness...
我就会把他们揪起来 i intend to put my foot down.
是的,当然 Yes. Firmly.
我也有一封信,是不好的 我想告诉你 I've had a letter, too. Not a nice one. I want to talk it over with you.
我的信是有关霍华德庄园 My letter's about Howards End. The tenants have decamped.
房客逃走了
多糟啊 他在试着转租房子 What is worse, he's trying to sublet the house.
你听到吗?转租房子
亨利,你还没有找到机会和海伦说吗 What are you laughing at?
You haven't had a chance to talk with helen yet, have you?
和海伦说啊 那,在你离开之前说吧 - A talk with her? - Well, do before you go.
我只是希望你们将成为朋友 - What's the matter? - I'm anxious you two should be friends.
我们总会一起度过 We've always hit it off together. We do.
恩,我们会的,没有任何有关转租条款 你读一下 There's no clause in the agreement to allow subletting. Read it yourself.
这真是可怕的玩笑 谢谢 - That's awfully jolly. - Thank you.
是,特别是这个,毛地黄 Yes, especially that.
亲爱的老洋地黄 洋地黄 - Foxgloves. - Yes, dear old digitalis.
听起来像喷嚏 Digitalis. Sounds like a sneeze.
玛格丽特,从百斯先生那得的好消息 - Margaret, such nice news from Mr. Bast! - Really?
太好了,我们都在了 Good. Here we all are, then.
百斯先生现在在颠普列斯银行 这是他的消息 Mr. Bast is now with dempster's bank. That's his news.
多谢你的提醒,他离开了普宁顿 Thanks to your hint, he cleared out of the porphyrion.
不好的消息 关于普宁顿 Not a bad business, the porphyrion.
我要去霍华德庄园了 I shall have to go to Howards End and take charge. I'd like you to come.
我希望你也去
不是坏消息 明天怎么样 - Not a bad business? - I would like that very much.
明天?我不行 为什么不行 - Good. What about tomorrow? - Tomorrow? I couldn't well do that.
你给我们说过普宁顿会在圣诞前倒闭 You told us the porphyrion would smash before christmas.
我有吗,那是在它没付完关税的时候 Did i? Yes, it was outside the tariff ring at the time.
它有一些不太好的制度 后来才好转了 Took some rather bad policies.
Lately it came in. Safe as houses now. What's wrong with tomorrow?
现在它很稳定了 明天有什么问题
朱莉娅阿姨会很失望的要是我现在走 Aunt Juley would be so disappointed if I left now.
威尔科克斯先生还没有告诉我们 我们一会说这个 - Didn't Mr. Wilcox clearly tell us... - yes. Let's talk about it later.
亨利,朱莉娅阿姨关心这个 Aunt Juley regards this...
现在那十分稳定,百斯先生没必要离开的 now it turns out it's safe as houses, and Mr. Bast should never have left...
at a greatly reduced salary.
海伦,我替你的小书记感到难过 但是人生就是这样的 My dear helen, I grieve for your clerk. I really do.
But it is part of the battle of life.
因为我们,一个只有很少钱的人 变得钱更少了 Battle of life? A man who had little money has less, owing to us.
你不应该责备,没人会 Come, come. You're not to blame. No one is to blame.
没人会责备这事 - Is no one to blame for anything? - I didn't say that.
我没有这样说 你太认真了
