(序幕)
(极北之地 1857年)
船长 Captain!
能聊聊吗 Can we talk?
我们必须破冰前行 We must break through the ice.
大家都很饿 也累坏了 The men are hungry and exhausted.
要是继续这样下去 恐怕会付出代价 We cannot keep up this pace without consequence.
大家听着 Listen up, men!
我们拖得越久 冰就冻得越牢固 The more we delay the labor, the firmer the grasp of the ice will become.
继续干活 The work continues.
各组轮流作业 Rotate each group.
先生 请听我说 Sir, with respect...
大家需要一句准话 The men need assurances.
准话 Assurances?
对 就是让船动起来之后 我们会回圣彼得堡去 Yes, that we will head back to St. Petersburg once we free the ship.
他们觉得我们的船航行不了多久了 他们想知道... They don't think we'll be seaworthy for long and they want to know--
都听好了 Listen up!
别的任何事情 都不是你们和这位长官该考虑的 It is neither your place, nor the officer here, to think anything...
我们接受了一项任务 就要把它完成 We signed up for a mission and we will see it to completion.
我们一定会到达北极 We will reach the North Pole.
都听明白了吗 Is it understood?
船长 那里爆炸了... An explosion, Captain.
离这里大约三公里 About two miles away.
去救人 Get the men.
雪橇犬没受伤 The sled dogs are unharmed.
那这血是哪来的 Then where does all this blood come from?
船长 在那里 Over here, Captain!
有个受了伤的人 他流了好多血 A wounded man, he's lost a lot of blood.
肩膀受伤了 腿断了 Wound to the shoulder, his leg is broken.
是被熊咬的吗 Bear attack?
我觉得不是 船长 I don't think so, Captain.
拉森 来帮我把这只靴子脱下来 Larsen, help me with his boot.
是个假肢 A prosthetic leg.
把他抬船上去 Put him on the board.

步枪准备 Ready the rifles!
听我指令 On my command.
瞄准 Aim!
开火 Fire!

全部上船 All to the ship!!
我们抬上船的那个人呢 Where is that man we brought onboard?
他在哪里 Where?
那究竟是什么东西 它想干什么 What is that thing? What does it want?
把他给我 Bring him to me!
喇叭枪 拉森 拿喇叭枪 The blunderbuss. Larsen, get the blunderbuss!
维克多 Victor.
维克多 Victor!
我杀了它 I killed it.
它还活着 It's still alive!
梯子 Ladder!
快收梯子 Pull up the ladder!
把他交出来 Bring him to me!
还剩几发 How many shots are left?
一发 但杀不了它 One, but it can't kill it.
我知道 I know.
我也不是要打他 I'm not aiming for him.
这是鸦片酊 能止痛 喝吧 Laudanum, to ease the pain. Drink it. Drink it.
我这是在哪里 Where am I?
这是丹麦皇家航船霍莱松特号 You are on the Royal Danish ship, Horisont.
我是安德森船长 这位是邬德森医生 I'm Captain Anderson. This is Dr. Udsen.
那怪物杀了你们多少人 How many of your men did it kill?
六个 Six.
它会回来 让更多人丧命 It will come back and kill many more.
要是不把我交出去 你们都会没命 All of you, if necessary, unless you deliver me to it.
不会的 它不在了 No, no. It's gone.
它沉入了冰水 死了 It sank in the freezing waters. It's dead.
它没死 No, it is not!
它死不了 It cannot die.
我一直尝试彻底摧毁它 I have tried to destroy it.
不管你们信不信 Whether you believe me or not,
它都会回来 找我 it will come back... for me.
等它真的回来了 And when it does,
一定要把我送到外面的冰面上 you must promise that you will put me out on the ice
让它带走我 and let it take me.
求你们了 Please.
那究竟是什么 What manner of creature is that?
是什么样的魔鬼造出来的 What manner of devil made him?
是我 I did.
就是我 I did.
是我亲手造的他 I made him.
我本已下定决心 让那些罪恶的记忆和我一同消亡 I had determined that the memory of my evils should die with me.
准备好了 It's ready.
接下来我要说的话 有些是真的 Some of what I will tell you is fact.
有些是假的 但这是真的 Some is not, but it is all true.
我叫维克多 My name is Victor.
维克多·弗兰肯斯坦 Victor Frankenstein.
我的名字是父亲起的 It was my father who gave me that name.
你知道这名字是什么意思吗 Do you know what it means?
应该是征服者的意思 I believe I do, yes. Conqueror.
赢得一切的人 One that wins it all.
没错 一切因他而起 Yes. It all started with him.
我的父亲 My father.
还有我的母亲 And my mother.
维克多 Victor!
(第一部分 维克多的故事)
维克多 Victor!
快下来 你父亲来了 Come down, your father is arriving.
妈妈 妈妈 Maman? Maman?
母亲 我在这里 I'm here, Mother.
这里 I'm here.
我父亲是男爵 也是个杰出的外科医生 My father was a baron and a preeminent surgeon.
他娶我母亲 很大程度上为了利益 He had married my mother largely out of convenience,
因为母亲的陪嫁相当丰厚 而且她是贵族出身 as her dowry was considerable and her lineage noble.
她带来的资金 足以让父亲维持爵位和家族产业 It furnished my father with the means to preserve his rank and family estate.
日常生活中 从来看不见父亲的身影 He was absent from our lives,
而每当他回到家 所有人都对他唯命是从 but when he came home, the entire household bent to his will.
亲爱的克莱尔 Claire, dear.
他不在的时候... The rest of the time...
维克多 Victor.
父亲 Father.
他不在的时候 母亲就是我一个人的 The rest of the time, Mother was mine.
别拿走 端到这里来 No, bring that here.
肉里的盐分能滋养你的血液 The salts in the meat will enrich your blood,
还有胎儿的 as well as the baby's.
一人吃 两人补 记得吗 You eat for two, remember?
吃吧 Go on.
很有营养 It's nutritious.
守护天使 Guardian angel.
甜蜜的陪伴 Sweet companion.
请守护我 不要离开我 Stand by my side and do not leave me.
用你的披风庇护我 然后... Under your mantle, shelter me, and...
我隔着墙听到他们争论不休 I would hear them through the wall, arguing incessantly,
对着彼此大吼大叫 话题关于财富和庄园 还有我 yelling at each other about wealth, estate... and me.
他们的争吵声让我万分恐惧 Their voices filled me with fear.
妈妈 Maman?
那个男人鄙视我们两个 The man despised us both.
讨厌我们乌黑的头发 深色的瞳孔 Our raven black hair, our deep, dark eyes.
就连我们喜好安静 不时紧张的性情 Even our quiet, at times nervous disposition
似乎也会让他大为光火 seemed to exasperate him to no end.
古代把体液分为哪几类 List as accurately as you can the ancient classification
尽量说精确一点 of the humors in the human body.
血液 黑胆汁 黄胆汁和黏液 Blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm.
男性心脏的平均重量是多少 Average male heart. Weight?
250到310克 父亲 Nine to eleven ounces, Father.
女性心脏的平均重量 Average female heart. Weight?
230到280克 Eight to ten ounces.
你为什么觉得 Why do you suppose that is?
女性的心脏会轻一点 Difference in mass in female heart?
是因为她们情感更强烈 Depth of emotion?
更容易忧郁吗 Tendency to the melancholic?
因为质量 血流量 肌肉灌注的不同 父亲 Mass. Volume of blood, Father. Muscular irrigation.
没错 人体组织中没有精神物质 Quite. There is no spiritual content in tissue,
肌肉中没有情感 and no emotion in a muscle.
那么 请描述一下三尖瓣的主要功能 Now, describe the main function of the tricuspid valve, please.
我现在想不起来了 父亲 但我肯定能想起来 I cannot recall, Father, but I'm sure I will remember.
嗯 我相信你 Yeah, I'm sure you will.
象牙不会流血 维克多 Ivory does not bleed, Victor.
但人体会 Flesh does.
等你想起了某个知识要点 恐怕你的病人已经一命呜呼了 By the time you remember a fact, your patient could be dead.
懂了吗 You understand?
三尖瓣的主要功能 The main function of the tricuspid valve
是防止血液反流至腔静脉 is to prevent the reflux of blood into the vena cava.
不打手了 再也不打了 No, not your hands. Not anymore.
它们如今是你施展技艺的工具 是你意志的延伸 They are now the instruments of your craft and will,
要好好保护 and we must care for them.
而你的脸 就微不足道了 Your face, however, is vanity.
维克多 你沿用了我的名字 也必然要维护我的名声 You bear my name, Victor, and with it my reputation.
我恳请你牢记这一点 I pray you remember that.
我感觉你有很好的牌 I feel you have something very good, parce que...
三 Three...
二 Two...
一 One...
不可能 That's impossible.
我来洗牌 I'll shuffle.
母亲 Mother?
妈妈 Maman?
父亲 母亲出事了 Father! Father. It's Mother.
妈妈 Maman.
准备好热水和干净的亚麻布 多拿一点 快 I need hot water and clean linen. A lot of it.
是 先生 -Now. -Sir.
-不 维克多 -母亲 -No, Victor! -Mother?
-妈妈 -维克多 -Maman! -Victor!
父亲 Father! Father!
一定要救她 求你了 -Victor! -Save her, please!
我的母亲 我曾将她视作我的一部分 My mother, whom I had come to consider a part of my very self,
我曾以为她永远不会离去 she who I thought would never leave,
以为她是我的生命 如今她死了 she who was life... was now death.
她的双眼已暗淡无光 Her eyes extinguished,
笑容被冰冷的土地埋葬 her smile feeding the cold earth.
走开 Leave!
都给我走开 All of you, leave!
我的世界空了一块 A part of the universe had been hollowed out
我的头顶笼罩着永远的黑暗 and the firmament was now permanently dark.
遮住眼睛 Now, cover your eyes.
我叫你看再看哦 Don't look until I tell you to.
看吧 Now.
威廉在阳光和笑容中长大 William grew full of sunshine and smiles.
他的性情比我平和温顺 显然更讨父亲喜欢 He was of a calmer, gentler disposition, clearly favored by my father.
谢谢你 父亲 Thank you, Father.
不客气 儿子 Oh, it's a pleasure, my boy.
他是宜人的微风 我是滚滚的黑云 He was the breeze, I was the storm cloud.
他带来欢声笑语 我让人愁眉不展 He was all laughter, I was all frowns.
拿起缰绳 Pick up the reins.
父亲 看我做得怎么样 Look at me, Father. Look at me.
不止如此 There was something more.
更确切地说 某些东西被忽视了 Or rather, something was missing.
我的母亲 My mother had died
死在如日中天的名医 at the hands of the most distinguished doctor of his day:
我的父亲手下 My father.
我的脑中渐渐有了个想法 An idea... took shape in my mind.
请说说《心血运动论》中... Define the circulatory system, if you will...
无可避免 无法逃避 Inevitable, unavoidable...
...对循环系统是怎么定义的 ...as enunciated in De Motu Cordis.
...直到这个想法被说了出来 ...until it became truth.
父亲 Father?
你没救她 对吗 You let her die, did you not?
我用尽全力救她了 你必须知道这一点 I did everything in my power to save her. You must know that.
这么说 你失败了 So you failed.
没人能战胜死亡 -No one can conquer death. -Mm-hmm.
我能 我会战胜的 I will. I will conquer it.
我会掌握你掌握的所有知识 还会更进一步 Everything you know, I will know. And more.
今天就到此为止吧 I think we've done quite enough for today.
那晚我重生了 I was born anew that night.
我看到了幻象 I had a vision.
我第一次看到了 I saw, for the first time...
黑暗天使 the Dark Angel.
它向我许下承诺 And it made me a promise.
我将能掌控生死 I would have command over the forces of life and death.
成为和父亲一样杰出的外科医生 I would become every ounce the surgeon my father was.
我的野心和成就将超过他 I would surpass him in ambition and in reach.
守护天使...
幻象如此清晰 The vision was so clear.
无论清醒还是睡梦中 我都从未看到如此清晰的景象 Clearer than anything I'd ever seen in my waking hours or dreams.
但承诺如何兑现 But how?
我的境遇很快一落千丈 My downfall was swift.
母亲的种植园 经历了两次叛乱和一场火灾 Two revolts and a fire on my mother's plantations
家族财富因此锐减 dwindled the family fortune.
庄园留下了 但别的全都没了 We kept the estate, but lost everything else.
威廉被送去了维也纳的亲戚家 William went to one side of the family in Vienna
我去了伦敦 然后又去了爱丁堡 and I to London, then Edinburgh.
在那里 我花了数十年时间 And there, for decades, I tried to...
尝试为狭隘的学术界拓宽边界 expand the narrow limits of academia.
生命 Life.
这就是生命 先生们 This... is life, gentlemen.
(皇家医学院纪律法庭 1855年)
我们出生了 We are born.
刚上去没多久 就掉下来了 Hmm? And no sooner do we rise, we fall.
死了 Death.
这一起一落之间 And in the space between that rise and fall,
就是我们渺小卑微的一生 our humble little purview.
出生不为我们所控 Now, birth is not in our hands.
对不对 Is it?
生命之火的点燃 思想和灵魂的诞生 Conception, that spark, the animation of thought and soul.
掌握在上帝的手中 That is in God's hands.
上帝 God.
而死亡 But death.
挑战正在此处 Ah, now there lies the challenge.
死亡应该掌握在我们手中 That should be our concern.
应该如此 It should be.
我们凭什么能掌控 我们又不是神明 对不对 Who are we to do so? We are not gods, are we?
但要是我们能像神明那般大胆 But if we are to behave as immodestly as gods,
那至少能够创造奇迹 we must, at the very least, deliver miracles.
是不是 Wouldn't you say?
在年轻学子心中点燃神圣火花 Ignite a divine spark in these young students' minds.
教导他们抛弃顺从 违抗权威 Teach them defiance rather than obedience.
展示人类有可能掌控自然奥秘 让死亡不再发生 Show that man may pursue nature to her hiding places and stop death.
不是延缓死亡 而是长生不老 Not slow it down, but stop it entirely!
安静 Silence. Silence!
这种不可能的事 你究竟要怎么教 How exactly do you propose to teach what is impossible?
人类的尸体 一个复合实体 Composite subject, the body.
这是某个店老板 刚咽气没多久就送到了我这里 That of a shopkeeper, delivered mere moments after expiration.
大脑暴露在外 但仍能运作 The brain laid bare but functional,
脊神经分支和迷走神经完好无损 the spinal branches and vagal nerves intact.
大家或许能看到一些极细的伤口 You may observe the hair-thin scars.
我的手艺无需粗糙的缝合 No coarse stitching needed by my own technique.
看这条手臂 The arm, you see,
来自某个木匠 comes from another specimen, that of a carpenter.
肌肉 韧带 神经 都已连结好 The muscles, ligaments, nerves, all connected now.
看啊 电流导致躯体痉挛 Now, the spasmodic movement of the body
这已不是新鲜事 caused from the electric current, this is not new.
大家都见过 不过 这种躯体内的能量流动 It's not new. However, the flow of energy through the body
遵循一种完全不同的概念 follows a different notion entirely.
一种称为气的东方概念 An Eastern notion called qi.
这种概念认为 生命能量的流动 同时存在于身体内外 Now, it considers the vital flow of energy both within and without.
我用针在六个... I'm utilizing needles in six--
安静 都坐下 Quiet! Sit down!
医生 这是听证会 不是狂欢节表演 This is a hearing, Doctor, not a carnival act.
你这样无济于事 维克多 You're not helping your cause, Victor.
这种用电的诡计根本没用 This galvanic trickery will simply not do.
诡计 Trickery.
诡计 Trickery?
你确定吗 Are you sure?
这不是诡计 而是一种抉择 That is not trickery. That is a decision.
一个死人的眼睛 和另一个死人的胳膊协调运动 Motor coordination between the eye of one dead man and the arm of another,
注入全新的意志和基本的理解力 infused with a new will and the rudiments of understanding.
已经死亡的大脑也有理解力吗 Understanding in a brain that already died?
放开 Release now.
请放开 Please.
礼貌一点总有效果 "Please" always helps.
赶紧关了吧 你个江湖骗子 Turn that off at once. At once, you charlatan.
这就是未来 这是有可能实现的 This is the future. This is possible.
为什么不研究一下 量化一下呢 Why not study it? Why not quantify it?
这是罪恶的 可恨 下流 This is unholy. An abomination. An obscenity!
生命由上帝赐予 由上帝收回 维克多 God gives life, and God takes it, Victor.
或许上帝就是无能 Perhaps God is inept!
要由我们来纠正他的错误 And it is we that must amend his mistakes!
别让这些老蠢货阻止你自由表达 Do not let these old fools extinguish your voice!
只有采取不盲从的态度 摆脱恐惧和恃强凌弱的教条 The answers only come when coaxed by disobedience,
答案才会浮现 free of fear and cowardly dogma!
克伦佩教授 Professor Krempe.
弗兰肯斯坦男爵 我叫海因里希·哈兰德 Baron Frankenstein, my name is Heinrich Harlander,
我这里有一封 and I carry with me a letter of introduction
你的弟弟威廉写的介绍信 from your brother, William.
我弟弟 From my brother?
我希望能有幸认识你 I asked for the privilege of your acquaintance.
耽误你一点时间 It won't take but a minute of your time.
-请进 -好 -Please. -Very well.
这么说 威廉要来看我 对吗 So William is coming to see me, is that it?
对 几天后到 Yeah, in a matter of days.
他想让你见见他的未婚妻 也就是我的侄女 He wants to introduce you to his fiancée. My niece, as it happens.
她叫伊丽莎白·哈兰德 是一位非常可爱的小姐 Elizabeth Harlander, a very nice young lady,
刚刚从修道院学校毕业 fresh from convent life.
这些照片都是我拍的 The photographs are mine.
威廉在金融领域很有成就 William has become quite successful in the world of finance.
弗兰肯斯坦的名声越来越响了 He's making a name for himself.
哎哟 是吗 Ha! A name? For himself?
要知道我们都是弗兰肯斯坦 不管我们乐不乐意 Well, I'm afraid we both share that name, whether we like it or not.
我拜读了你在《柳叶刀》上的文章 I read your article in The Lancet.
你真的觉得这事能做到吗 You really believe you can do it?
组装出一个人来 Assemble a man?
做出完整的全新人体 还要有生命 A full new body? And give it life?
你今天也看到了 You saw it today, didn't you?
说真的 我看到的是你当众受难 What I saw was a crucifixion, really.
你还没开口说句话 就被钉死了 You were done for before you uttered a word.
但我还是向他们展示了 I still showed them.
展示什么 What?
事实 The truth.
他们到晚餐时间就忘了 They will forget by suppertime.
话虽如此 你觉得怎么样 Yes, yes, yes. But what did you think? Hmm?
我觉得非常厉害 I thought it was brilliant.
没错 我就知道 It was. I know.
但你有点孩子气 太激动了 But you are like a child, so excited,
紧抓你的新宠物 快把它勒死了 clutching your new pet so tightly that you're strangling it.
我不免为你担心 That is why I worry about you.
你能控制好火种吗 普罗米修斯 Can you contain your fire, Prometheus?
还是没等把它交出去 就先烧伤了自己的手 Or are you going to burn your hands before delivering it?
说得对 Quite.
请不要觉得我无礼 但这一天已经足够漫长 Please do not think me rude, but my day has proven long enough,
我的状态也完全不适合 再陪伴陌生人了 and I believe myself totally unfit for the company of strangers.
如果没有什么别的事了... So if there's nothing more--
还有重要的事 Oh, but there is. Much more.
我在爱丁堡找好了住处 I've taken quarters in Edinburgh.
三天后 我们一起见威廉和伊丽莎白 Three days from now, we are to meet with William and Elizabeth.
我将在那晚改变你的命运 And that evening, I will change your destiny.
我会让你看到非同凡响的东西 I will show you something extraordinary.
-你真好 -谢谢 给
桃子 把桃子转过来 The peach. The peach. Turn the peach. Turn it.
你又啃了 You bit it again.
你一直在吃桃 You're eating the peaches.
这是对死亡的沉思 This is a memento mori.
桃子是生命和青春的符号 怎么就被你啃了 The peach, symbol of life and youth, and you bite into it?
-我饿了呀 小希 -别那样叫我 -I was hungry, Kiki. -Don't call me Kiki.
先生 维克多·弗兰肯斯坦男爵来了 Baron Victor Frankenstein, sir.
你可以下去了 You can leave.
抱歉 Forgive me.
欢迎 Welcome.
哈兰德先生 Herr Harlander.
这是一种新兴艺术 摄影 A young art, photography.
再见 小希 Goodbye, Kiki.
我已经迷上了 Already a passion of mine.
文件都带来了吗 Did you bring the papers?
谢谢 Oh, thank you.
-你非常出色 -谢谢 -You're extraordinary. -Thank you.
你利用神经系统来传递能量脉冲 You're using the nervous system to deliver the surge of energy.
对吗 Are you not?
没错 Correct.
因此 你所操控的生命力 只能维持很短时间 And thus the sustainability of the life force you command
很快就会衰退 消散 is very brief, wanes, evaporates.
为什么这么说 How so?
当时你颇为自豪地结束了演示 At the lecture, you ended your demonstration out of pride.
但其实是因为 那股电流般的生命力 But really, because the galvanic life force
已经衰竭了 对吗 was already fading, was it not?
先生 你是外科医生吗 Are you yourself a surgeon, sir?
曾经是 我是战地医生 Yeah, once upon a time. An army surgeon.
医术也说不上多精湛 Not a particularly skilled one, either.
但也给我打下了发家致富的基础 But it allowed me to secure the rudiments of my fortune.
我现在有几家军火工厂 I own a few ammunition factories.
-你是军火商 -不如说是个务实的 -An arms merchant. -A realist.
你对伊夫林解剖图表熟悉吗 Are you familiar with the Evelyn Tables?
当然 那是约翰·伊夫林爵士当年 Of course. Acquired by Sir John Evelyn,
买下的四张人体标本精细解剖图 there are four planks, meticulous dissection,
是欧洲最早的人体神经 和动静脉解剖图 some of the oldest in Europe, presenting the nerves,
为什么会提到这个 veins and arteries of cadavers. What?
因为还有第五张 Yes. But there's a fifth one.
这张最让人信服 The most compelling one.
非常细致 是不是 Exquisite, is it not?
呈现于木头上的鲜活血肉 Flesh rendered onto wood.
尸体放在木板上 逐层剥离 The cadaver lies on the plank, is peeled away layer by layer,
用树脂将剩下的组织固定在木板上 and the remaining tissue is lacquered with resin onto the wood.
-这是淋巴系统 -没错 -It showcases the lymphatic system. -Yes.
穆斯林医学家称其为隐秘的循环系统 Muslim medics called it the secret circulatory system.
仅仅输送三升体液 却构成了庞大的网络 It moves a mere three liters of fluid, but it's a vast network.
-真是非同凡响 -确实 -Oh, it's remarkable. -Yes.
现在对我们 也是对你而言 关键的改变就在这里 Now for us, for you, the important variation is here.
这第九种构造 环绕心脏的结构 The ninth configuration. A very delicate,
极为精巧 近乎空灵 almost ethereal structure surrounding the heart.
既能分配能量 也能储存能量 It can distribute, but also store energy.
如果你能在不破坏周围组织的前提下 Yes, if you can access that without destroying
-触达这一构造... -不 不是前面 -the surrounding tissue---No. Not through the front.
是后面 脊柱 胸曲 The back, spinal column, thoracic curvature.
没错 Of course.
远超人们想象的能量流动 瘢痕形成和组织再生 Flow of energy, scarring and regeneration beyond anyone's imagination.
永生 Life eternal.
我将提供无限的资源 来支持你的研究 I will endow your pursuit with unlimited resources.
那我要拿什么来交换 And in exchange?
这么说就俗了 No need to become indelicate.
我们探寻真理 志在超越 有着共同的追求 We're searchers for truth and transcendence, kindred spirits.
某天我也许会请你帮个忙 作为回报 I may in time ask you for a favor in return,
但最重要的是记录研究过程 以传诸后世的这份特权 but it's mostly the privilege to record your process for posterity.
我习惯独自工作 I work alone.
我绝对不出声 I'm very quiet.
哈兰德先生 威廉·弗兰肯斯坦和您的侄女到了 William Frankenstein and your niece, Herr Harlander.
我要考虑一下 I shall consider it.
我会考虑的 I'll consider it.
男爵 Baron.
别假装冷静了 错过了就可惜了 Don't pretend to be reasonable now. It would be such a shame.
维克多 Victor.
威廉 William!
-维克多 -瞧瞧你 -Victor. -Look at you.
老天 你长大了 My, you've grown.
可惜不是我的功劳 Through no merit of my own.
来见见我的未婚妻吧 May I introduce the woman I'm to marry.
伊丽莎白·哈兰德小姐 Lady Elizabeth Harlander.
荣幸之至 Absolutely delighted.
听到你被驱逐 说实话我也不惊讶 Can't say I was shocked when you were expelled,
但他们的态度太强硬 言语太狠毒 but the manner and virulence of your expulsion,
我认为实在没有必要 uncalled for, I'm sure.
有必要 No, it was called for. I earned it.
我应得的
我特意挣来的 你说是不是 哈兰德先生 I made it a point to earn it, wouldn't you say, Herr Harlander?
确实声势浩大 It was quite an exit, I assure you.
为什么要激怒他们 Why provoke them?
何不继续做自己的事 避免惹来不必要的关注 Why not just carry on without calling attention to yourself in such a manner?
威廉 就算以你的标准来看 这么做也太保守了 How safe, even by your standards, William.
你这话听着都有点像父亲了 You almost sound like Father.
父亲可是相当老练的 He was a most tactful man, our father.
他做事精准 谨慎 有分寸感 He was precise, discreet, measured.
我就不是 我完全不懂为何谦虚是一种美德 I, on the other hand, fail to see why modesty is considered a virtue at all.
维克多一直这么引人注目 Victor's always been one to harvest attention.
即便在小时候 我也常常 通过保持沉默 来消解他的声音 Even as children, I mitigated his voice by staying silent.
这样的事发生无数次了吧 维克多 你说呢 Perhaps too much and far too many times, wouldn't you say, Victor?
如果可以再造生命 If life can be regenerated,
并非简单的模拟 not as a mere simulation,
而是通过物理化学手段 如神迹般地再造 何不大声说出来 but as a divine act by physical, chemical means, why whisper it?
你笑了 You laugh?
-你觉得好笑吗 -没错 -You're amused? -I must be, yes.
我的理念没表达清楚吗 Are my ideas not clear?
你显然已经够大声的了 You certainly expressed them loudly enough.
不值得为之努力吗 Are they not worthwhile?
我认为理念本身并不值得为之努力 Ideas are not worthwhile by themselves, I don't believe.
愿闻其详 Enlighten me, please.
拿战争来说 Take the war, for example.
威廉 去书房享用雪茄和白兰地吧 William, cigar and brandy in my study?
我侄女的长篇大论你肯定都听过了 Surely you've heard my niece expound on the matter before.
我们失陪了 You'll excuse us.
请继续说 关于理念 Pray, carry on. Ideas.
这么说吧 荣耀 国家 勇气 Well... honor, country, valor.
这些必然是值得为之奋斗的崇高理念 These surely are worthwhile, elevated ideas by themselves,
同意吧 wouldn't you agree?
然而 人们为了这些理念赴死 -Mm-hmm. -And nevertheless, men are dying for them.
以一种显然毫不崇高的方式 In a decidedly un-elevated way,
脸埋在泥泞里 喉咙呛着血 face down in the mud, choking on blood,
痛得大喊大叫 screaming in pain.
他们是某人的父亲 兄弟或儿子 Men that were fathers, brothers or sons to someone out there.
他们被自己的母亲带到这个世界 Men that were fed, cleaned and nursed
被悉心喂养 洗净 照料 教育 and schooled into this world by their mothers,
最后却被送到某个遥远的战场 only to fall on a battlefield far away,
真正制造惨剧的人却躲得远远的 far from those that provoke these tragedies.
他们好好地待在家中 不沾血 不挨刀 Those men remain at home, untouched by blood or bayonet,
皮肤完好无损 被窝温暖洁净 their skin unpierced, their blankets warm and clean.
这就是蠢人追求理念的后果 That is what happens when ideas are pursued by fools.
那你觉得我是蠢人 And you think me a fool?
快享用你的白兰地和雪茄去吧 Run to your brandy and cigars.
他们都在等着呢 The boys are waiting.
一个人常常以为遇见了天使或魔鬼 How often a man believes he's met an angel or a devil,
到头来却发现一切不过是幻觉 only to find it is all an illusion.
我们下的这盘棋 The game of chess we play...
对手只有自己 we play only against ourselves.
帮帮他 Help him.
快点 Help him!
给 喝点吧 Here you go. Drink some.
快跟我来 You better come with me.
什么都没有 Nothing.

几周后 我 威廉和哈兰德 骑马穿过海峡 A few weeks later, I rode with William and Harlander
来到瓦杜兹附近的一个湖边 to a lake near Vaduz across the channel.
这座塔楼是用来过滤农田灌溉用水的 The tower was built as a water filtration plant to irrigate the fields.
是个公共工程项目 所以战争一开始就被弃建了 Public works, so construction was abandoned at the start of the war.
不是这场战争 是前一场 Not this war, the one before.
或者是再前面一场 我记不清了 Or the one before that, I cannot quite remember.
一看到它 The moment I laid eyes on it...
这座塔楼 The tower.
我便感受到了命运的召唤 I could feel destiny calling.
建筑结构基本完整 The structure's basically intact.
这里还有一条陡坡道 从顶上直通到底部 And there's a chute going from top, right to the bottom.
我会安排人把你的个人物品 I can arrange for your belongings.
从爱丁堡运过来 We'll bring them from Edinburgh.
你需要什么 都能满足 Anything you need or want shall be granted.
-什么都可以 -什么都可以 -Anything? -Anything.
整个项目期间 威廉随叫随到 I have secured William's service for the duration of the project.
我要一个临时密室 I'll need a holding cell.
-实验室旁边要有个冷库 -威廉 -And an ice chamber close to the lab. -William.
塔楼底部有两个泵水库 There are two pump reservoirs at the base of the tower.
要改造一下 We'll repurpose those.
我们要重启蒸汽机 We shall need to recondition the steam engines.
需要足够的燃料 来保证机器正常运转 We'll need enough fuel to make sure they run.
那里 还有那里 放四块高容量的伏打电池 There and there, four high-capacity voltaic batteries,
正负电极 positive and negative polarity,
还要一套纯银避雷针系统 向下延伸至实验室 and a lightning rod system of pure silver telescoping down into the lab.
没问题 你需要什么设备 我的承包商都能造出来 Yes. My contractors can manufacture any and all equipment you may require.
那么 我们应该达成共识了吧 I take it then that we have an understanding?
交易达成 A bargain has been struck.
混蛋 Bastard!
这个不行 No. No. Not this one.
张嘴 Aah. Open your mouth.
被绞死算你走运 你本就活不过今年了 You, you're lucky to be hanged. You would have died within the year.
哈兰德先生答应我 让我拿到最好的样本 Herr Harlander promised me access to optimal specimens.
阁下 他倒是答应了 Yeah, that he may have, your lordship,
可您也知道 but as you well know,
犯罪又不是什么好差事 我们这里也只有些歪瓜裂枣 crime doesn't pay, and it's a poor showing of it we have here.
哪个都是可怜虫 They're wretches every one of them.
真是抱歉 I'm sorry about that.
背很强壮 这个可以 That's a strong back. This one will do.
稍后再来 Come back later.
来告解 Confession?
我很好奇 I was intrigued.
如此纤弱又虔诚的人 能有什么要告解的 What would such a delicate, pious creature have to confess to?
真是碰巧 被我找到了一个机会 As luck would have it, an opportunity presented itself,
我... and I...
我就要揭开谜底了 I was about to find out.
神父 请为我祝福 我有罪 Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
孩子 你多久没告解了 How long has it been since your last confession, my daughter?
还没到一周 神父 我在修道院待过 Barely a week, Father. I was in a convent.
就一周 A week?
你就这么轻率地犯错了 Tsk-tsk. Have you so hastily committed sin?
是的 I have.
是罪孽的念头 并非实际行动 Sin of intent, not deed.
-因为一名男子 对不对 -对 -A man, is it? -Yes.
是我未婚夫的兄长 My fiancé's brother.
是欲念吗 Lust?
-是憎恶 -憎恶... -Hatred. -Hatred...
-憎恶 -那名男子很恶劣 很丑陋 -Hatred? -The man is appalling, grotesque.
这样的话很是刺耳 Harsh words.
近乎无情了 对吗 Rather uncharitable, wouldn't you say?
尊敬的神父 您并不了解这个人 Respectfully, Father, you do not know this man.
他试图操控周围一切的人和事 He tries to control and manipulate everything and everyone around him.
他和所有暴君一样 以假扮受害者为乐 Like every tyrant, he delights in playing the victim.
