少年派的奇幻漂流
这么说你是在动物园长大的? So you were raised in a zoo?
本地治里是我出生和成长的地方 Born and raised.
那里曾经是法国的殖民地 In Pondicherry, in what was the French part of India.
我父亲经营那家动物园... My father owned the zoo...
我出生时是一位爬虫学家接生的... and I was delivered on short notice by a herpetologist...
他当时恰巧在检查一只孟加拉蜥蜴 who was there to check on the Bengal monitor lizard.
母亲和我平安无事... Mother and I were both healthy...
但那只可怜的蜥蜴逃了出去... but the poor lizard escaped...
结果它惨死在一只巨型鹤鸵的脚下 and was trampled by a frightened cassowary.
这就是宿命吧? The way of karma, huh?
是上帝的旨意 The way of God.
这故事不错 That's quite a story.
看到你的名字 I had assumed your father was a
我还以为你父亲是位数学家呢 mathematician because of your name.
毫无关系 我是以泳池命名的 Far from it, I was named after a swimming pool.
有一个叫做"派"的泳池? There is a swimming pool named "Pi"?
我叔叔弗朗西斯出生时 You see, my uncle Francis was born
肺部积了很多水 with too much water in his lungs.
据说医生握着他的脚踝倒着摇晃 They say the doctors swung Francis around
才把他肺部积水清理干净... by the ankles to clear the water out...
正是这个原因 他胸肌健硕 四肢纤细... and that's what gave him the huge chest and skinny legs...
使得他成为了游泳健将 that made him such a great swimmer.
弗朗西斯真的是你叔叔吗? Is Francis actually your uncle?
他说他是你父亲的朋友 He said he was friends with your father.
他是我名誉上的叔叔 我称他"玛玛吉" He's my honorary uncle, I call him Mamaji.
他是我父亲最好的朋友 还是我的游泳教练 My father's best friend, my swimming guru.
我去修行处和他学习游泳 每周三次 I trained with him three times a week at the ashram.
正是他教我的技能 最后救了我的命 His lessons would save my life in the end.
呛水不要紧 但是惊慌失措就坏了 A mouthful of water will not harm you, but panic will.
要正常呼吸 不要屏住呼吸 Remember to breathe now, don't hold your breath.
不错 Good boy.
你不介意吃素吧 I hope you don't mind vegetarian.
不 不介意 No, no. Not at all.
- 你名字的来历呢? - 什么? - And your name? - Huh?
我以为你刚刚要讲名字的由来 You were going to tell me how you got your name, I think.
哦 是的 名字是叔叔跟我父亲谈起的 Oh, yes. I got it from something Mamaji once told my father.
大多数旅行者在旅途中 You see, most travelers collect
会收集明信片或者茶杯之类的东西... postcards or teacups on their journeys...
但叔叔不是 but not Mamaji.
他游遍各地的泳池 Mamaji collects swimming pools.
每到一处 他都会去当地泳池游泳 He swims in every pool he comes upon.
有一天 叔叔对我父亲说 One day, Mamaji said to my father that,
世界上所有的泳池中... of all the pools in the world...
最美的当属巴黎的一家公共泳池 the most beautiful was a public pool in Paris.
那里的水清澈无比 That the water there was so clear,
都可以用来煮早晨咖啡 you could make your morning coffee with it.
正是那次游泳之旅改变了他的生活 That a single swim there changed his life.
我出生之前 他曾说过... Before I was born, he said...
"如果希望你的儿子拥有纯洁的灵魂..." "If you want your son to have a clean soul..."
"一定要带他去莫利托公共游泳池游泳" "you must take him one day to swim in the Piscine Molitor."
我不知道父亲为何对这句话如此上心 I never understood why my father took this so much to heart.
但他确实这么做了 并且给我取名"皮辛·莫利托·帕托尔" But he did, and I was named "Piscine Molitor Patel."
你能够想到 解释名字的由来就够费唇舌的了 Imagine me trying to explain that name.
好不容易熬到十一岁... I barely made it to the age of 11 before...
嘿 皮辛! Hey, Piscine!
你在撒尿吗? Are you pissing right now?
快看 他在撒尿! Look at him, he's pissing!
一字之差 我的名字就从优雅的法国泳池... With one word, my name went from an elegant French swimming pool...
沦落为印度的公共厕所 to a stinking Indian latrine.
人们称我为"小便" I was "Pissing" everywhere.
运动场上禁止"小便"! No Pissing in the schoolyard!
甚至老师也开始这样叫我 Even the teachers started doing it.
尽管他不是故意的 Not deliberately, of course.
如果释放气体过快会发生什么? So, then, what might occur if we release gas too quickly?
"小便" 你来回答? Pissing?
老师叫他"小便"? He said "Pissing"?
够了! 都安静! 安静! That's enough! Order! Order!
所以下学期开学第一天 When we returned the next year for our first day of school,
我早有准备 I was prepared.
到 老师 Present, sir.
皮辛·帕托尔 Piscine Patel.
早上好 我是皮辛·莫利托·帕托尔 Good morning. I am Piscine Molitor Patel.
大家称我为... Known to all as...
派 它是希腊字母表里的第十六个字母... Pi, the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet...
在数学领域它还代表... which is also used in mathematics to represent the ratio...
圆周与直径的比值 of any circle's circumference to its diameter.
一个无限不循环无理数 An irrational number of infinite length,
经常取三位有效数字... usually rounded to three digits...
等于3.14 as 3.14.
这就是派 Pi.
很好 派 请回座位吧 Very impressive, Pi. Now, sit down.
然后"派"就成了你的名字吗? And from then on, you were "Pi"?
还没有 Well, no, not quite.
没用的 "小便" Nice try, Pissing.
但是我还有一整天去改变 But I still had the whole day ahead of me.
下节是法语课 French class was next.
我叫皮辛·莫利托·帕托尔 Je m'appelle Piscine Molitor Patel.
简称"派" Dit Pi.
然后是地理课 Then, geography.
这是"派"小数点后20位数字 These are the first 20 decimal places of pi.
当天最后一节是数学课 My last class of the day was mathematics.
慢点 都慢点 Slowly, slowly, slowly.
三 七 五 八 九 Three. Seven. Five. Eight. Nine.
八 五 八 九 Eight. Five. Eight. Nine.
没错 他写得没错 It's right. He's really doing this.
派! 派! 派! Pi! Pi! Pi!
最后一节课结束 我就成了派·帕托尔 学校的传奇人物 By the end of that day, I was Pi Patel, school legend.
嗯 叔叔说你还是一位有传奇经历的水手 Um, Mamaji tells me you're a legend among sailors, too.
一个人漂洋过海 Out there, all alone.
哦 其实我根本不懂航海 Oh, I don't even know how to sail.
而且当时我也不是孤身一人 理查德·帕克和我一起 And I wasn't alone out there. Richard Parker was with me.
理查德·帕克是谁? Richard Parker?
叔叔没提过 Mamaji didn't tell me everything.
他只说我回蒙特利尔一定要见见你 He just said I should look you up when I got back to Montreal.
你去本地治里做什么了? So, what were you doing in Pondicherry?
写小说 Writing a novel.
顺便说一句 我很喜欢你的第一本小说 By the way, I enjoyed your first book.
你的新书打算以印度为背景? So, this new one, is it set in India?
不 是葡萄牙 但是印度生活成本比较低 No, Portugal, actually. But it's cheaper living in India.
我很期待这本小说 Ah, well, I look forward to reading it.
没机会了 You can't.
我放弃了 I threw it out.
我整整构思了两年之久... Two years trying to bring this thing to life...
然后它还没来得及面世就夭折了 and then one day, it sputtered, coughed and died.
很抱歉 Oh, I'm sorry.
有天下午 我在本地治里的一家咖啡厅 Uh, I was sitting in this coffee house in Pondicherry one afternoon,
悼念我的小说... mourning my loss...
邻桌的一位老人和我聊了起来 when this old man at the table next to me struck up a conversation.
没错 是叔叔的性格 Yeah, Mamaji, he does that.
当我跟他谈起那个小说 他说... When I told him about my abandoned book, he said...
"这么说 你是来法属印度地区" "So, a Canadian who's come to French India"
"寻找写作灵感的加拿大人" "in search of a story."
"朋友 我认识一个印度人 他在加拿大" "Well, my friend, I know an Indian in French Canada..."
"他有一段充满传奇色彩的经历" "with the most incredible story to tell."
"一定是命运安排要你们见面的" "It must be fate that the two of you should meet."
很多年来 我都没再提起理查德·帕克 Well, I haven't spoken about Richard Parker in so many years.
叔叔都跟你讲什么了? So, what has Mamaji already told you?
他说你的经历会让我相信上帝的存在 He said you had a story that would make me believe in God.
吃一顿好饭 他也会这么说的 He would say that about a nice meal.
至于是否相信上帝存在 As for God, I can only tell you my story.
你可以根据我的故事自己定夺 You will decide for yourself what you believe.
好的 Fair enough.
那么 从哪里讲起呢? Let's see, then. Where to begin?
本地治里是印度地区的法属殖民地 Pondicherry is the French Riviera of India.
沿海的那篇区域 In the streets closest to the ocean,
会让人误以为身处法国南部 you might think you were in the south of France.
城中有几个街区 城后有一条运河 A few blocks inland, there's a canal.
过了运河就是印属本地治里地区 Just beyond that is Indian Pondicherry.
西面是穆斯林地区 And the Muslim quarter is just to the west.
1954年 法国将本地治里归还给印度... When the French handed Pondicherry back to us in 1954...
小镇决定举行纪念仪式来庆贺 the town decided that some sort of commemoration was in order.
我的父亲是一位聪明的商人 他看到了商机 My father, who was a clever businessman, came up with one.
他曾经经营一家旅馆 发现商机后 他关了旅馆... He ran a hotel, and he got the idea to open a zoo...
决定在当地的植物园内经营一家动物园 in the local botanical gardens instead.
巧合的是 我母亲是植物园的一位植物学家 As it also happened, my mother was a botanist in the gardens.
他们相遇 结婚 一年后我哥哥拉维出生了 They met, married, and a year later my brother Ravi was born.
两年后我出生了 I came two years after that.
在动物园成长 听起来真不可思议... It sounds magical, growing up in...
阿门 Amen.
吃饭吧 Yeah, let's eat.
没想到印度人也信奉基督 I didn't know Hindus said "amen."
天主教的印度教徒信奉基督 Catholic Hindus do.
天主教的印度教徒? Catholic Hindus?
世界上有成百上千的神明 都需要我们信奉 We get to feel guilty before hundreds of gods, instead of just one.
但你一开始应该是印度教徒呀? But you're a Hindu first?
我们都是经人指引信奉神明的 None of us knows God until someone introduces us.
我首先信奉的是一位印度教的神明 I was first introduced to God as a Hindu.
印度教中神明多达三千三百万个 There are 33 million gods in the Hindu religion.
我多少了解一些神明 How can I not come to know a few of them?
我最先了解的是克利须那神 I met Krishna first.
有一次亚述达因小克利须那吃泥土而责备他 Yashoda once accused baby Krishna of eating dirt.
"啧啧! 淘气的孩子... 不能吃泥土 " "Tut, tut you naughty boy... you shouldn't do that."
可是他没有吃! But he didn't!
他也是这样回答的 That's what he told her.
"我没有吃泥土" "I didn't eat dirt."
亚述达说"是吗 那么..." Yashoda said, "No? Well then..."
"把嘴张开 " "Open your mouth."
然后克利须那张开了嘴 So Krishna opened his mouth.
你猜亚述达看到了什么? And what do you think Yashoda saw?
是什么? What?
她在克利须那口中看到了整个宇宙 She saw in Krishna's mouth the whole entire universe.
诸神是我心中的超级英雄 The gods were my superheroes growing up.
猴神哈奴曼... Hanuman, the monkey god...
为救他的朋友拉克什曼 将整座山举了起来 lifting an entire mountain to save his friend Lakshman.
象神格奈什... Ganesh, the elephant-headed...
用生命维护了母亲帕鲁瓦蒂的荣誉 risking his life to defend the honor of his mother, Parvati.
毗湿奴 诸神之首 是万能的造物主 Vishnu, the supreme soul, the source of all things.
漂浮于浩瀚无边的宇宙... Vishnu sleeps, floating on the shoreless cosmic ocean...
我们不过是他梦中的产物 and we are the stuff of his dreaming.
真壮观 Spectacle.
不要被这些故事和迷人的灯迷惑 孩子 Don't let these stories and pretty lights fool you, boys.
宗教是无知的表现 Religion is darkness.
我敬爱的父亲自认为是新印度人 My dear appa believed himself part of the new India.
他小时候得过脊髓灰质炎 As a child, he had had polio.
曾痛苦地卧病在床 等待神明的救赎 He used to lie in bed racked with pain, wondering where God was.
最后 神没有来救他 是西药救了他 In the end, God didn't save him, Western medicine did.
我母亲读过大学... My amma went to college...
认为她的家族也算是新印度人... and thought her family was part of the new India as well...
直到她父母跟她断绝关系... until her parents cut her off...
因为他们觉得觉得我父亲配不上她 because they thought she was marrying beneath her.
宗教是她与过去的唯一联系 Her religion was the only link she had to her past.
我十二岁时知道了耶稣的存在 I met Christ in the mountains when I was 12.
我们当时去探访亲戚 他们在蒙纳经营茶园 We were visiting relatives, tea growers in Munnar.
我们到那里的第三天 拉维和我无聊之极 It was our third day there. Ravi and I were terribly bored.
你若是敢去教堂喝圣水 Challenge. I'll give you two rupees.
我就给你2卢比 Run in to that church and drink the holy water.
你一定很口渴 You must be thirsty.
给你 Here.
喝这个 I brought you this.
神为什么要那么做? Why would a god do that?
他为何将自己的儿子... Why would he send His own son...
下放到人间来遭受苦难? to suffer for the sins of ordinary people?
因为神爱我们 Because he loves us.
他想与我们同在 God made himself approachable to us,
这样我们就能感知到他 human, so we could understand him.
我们无法完全了解神明 We can't understand god in all his perfection.
但是可以了解他的儿子 But we can understand God's son
了解他的遭遇 让我们亲如兄弟 and his suffering as we would a brother's.
根本说不通啊 That made no sense.
牺牲无辜的人来赎罪... Sacrificing the innocent to atone for the sins of the guilty...
这算什么爱? What kind of love is that?
但是神的儿子... But this son...
却让我久久不能忘怀 I couldn't get him out of my head.
如果上帝是十全十美的 而我们不是... If God is so perfect and we are not...
他又为何创造这一切呢? why would he want to create all this?
他创造我们干什么呢? Why does he need us at all?
你只需铭记神对我们的爱即可 All you have to know is that he loves us.
他牺牲自己的儿子 来展示对世人的爱 God so loved this world that he gave his only son.
牧师解释的越多... The longer I listened to the priest...
我就越发敬爱神的儿子 the more I came to like this son of God.
毗湿奴 感谢您指引我认识基督 Thank you, Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ.
印度教是我宗教信仰的启蒙 I came to faith through Hinduism
基督教让我明白神的爱 and I found God's love through Christ.
但是我与神明的纠葛并未结束 But God wasn't finished with me yet.
神明让人捉摸不透 God works in mysterious ways.
他以各种身份出现 And so it was, He introduced himself again.
这次他以真主阿拉的身份出现 This time by the name of Allah.
阿拉 阿克巴 Allahu Akbar.
我的阿拉伯语一直不好... My Arabic was never very good...
但那种音调却让我感觉更接近神明 but the sound and feel of the words brought me closer to God.
做礼拜时... In performing Salah...
我触碰的地面成了圣地 the ground I touched became holy ground...
我能从中体会到安详与情谊 and I found a feeling of serenity and brotherhood.
这羊肉真美味 This lamb is exquisite.
这可是最好吃的一道菜了 It's the best dish on the table.
你要错过了哦 You're all missing out.
皮辛 你要是再多信奉三种宗教... You only need to convert to three more religions, Piscine...
就能每天都过各种节了 and you will spend your life on holiday.
你今年要去麦加吗 耶稣神明? Are you going to Mecca this year, Swami Jesus?
还是要去罗马进行加冕成为教皇啊? Or to Rome for your coronation as Pope Pi-us?
别瞎掺和 拉维 You stay out of this, Ravi.
这是派的爱好 就像你喜欢板球一样 Just as you like cricket, Pi has his own interests.
不 吉塔 拉维说得对 No, Gita, Ravi has a point.
你不能同时信仰三个教 皮辛 You cannot follow three different religions at the same time, Piscine.
为什么? Why not?
因为同时信仰每一件事... Because believing in everything at the same time...
等同于根本不信仰任何事 is the same as not believing in anything at all.
他还年轻 桑托什 他还在寻找自己的方向 He's young, Santosh. He's still finding his way.
如果他不进行选择 他如何能找到自己的方向呢? And how can he find his way if he does not choose a path?
与其不停地更换宗教信仰... Listen, instead of leaping from one religion to the next...
不如开始学习科学? why not start with reason?
科学在几百年内... In a few hundred years...
使我们对宇宙了解 science has taken us farther in understanding the universe...
比宗教在一万年内都多 than religion has in 10,000.
这是事实 That is true.
你父亲说得对 Your father is right.
科学能帮我们了解许多外界的东西... Science can teach us more about what is out there...
但不能帮我们了解我们的内心 but not what is in here.
有人吃肉 有人吃素 Some eat meat, some eat vegetable.
我不指望我们在所有事上都能达成共识... I do not expect us all to agree about everything...
但我更愿意让你 but I would much rather have you
相信我不认同的事... believe in something I don't agree with...
也比盲目地接受所有事来的好 than to accept everything blindly.
这就需要你理智地思考 And that begins with thinking rationally.
明白吗? Do you understand?
很好 Good.
我想接受洗礼 I would like to be baptized.
那么 你既是基督徒也是穆斯林? So, you're a Christian and a Muslim?
同时也是印度教信徒 And a Hindu, of course.
我猜 你还是犹太教徒吧 And a Jew, I suppose.
我确实在大学教卡巴拉教义 Well, I do teach a course on the Kabbalah at the university.
这又怎么样呢? 信仰就像一栋拥有许多房间的房子 And why not? Faith is a house with many rooms.
但却没有一个房间为怀疑而准备? But no room for doubt?
有许多呢 每层都有 Oh, plenty. On every floor.
怀疑很有用 Doubt is useful.
它赋予了信仰生命 It keeps faith a living thing.
毕竟 你无法知道你的信仰有多强大 After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith
直到信仰得到验证 until it's been tested.
萨尔凡姆在哪? 没有他我们不能进来 Where's Selvam? We shouldn't be in here without him.
别担心 Stop worrying.
我看他做过一千次了 I have seen him do this a thousand times.
我想看看我们的新老虎 I want to meet our new tiger.
派! Pi!
出来吧? 理查德·帕克? Hello? Richard Parker?
老虎? 理查德·帕克是只老虎? A tiger? Richard Parker was a tiger?
他叫这个名字是因为教士的错误 Yeah, he got his name through a clerical error.
当他还是幼虎的时候 一位猎人看到他在小溪里喝水... A hunter caught him drinking from a stream when he was a cub...
所以就叫他小渴 and named him Thirsty.
当小渴长大后 猎人将他卖到动物园... When Thirsty got too big, the hunter sold him to our zoo...
但文件上猎人和老虎的名字调换了 but the names got switched on the paperwork.
猎人的名字成了小渴 The hunter was listed as Thirsty,
老虎成了理查德·帕克 and the tiger was called Richard Parker.
我们笑了一阵 但名字却没法变了 We laughed about it, and the name stuck.
在还没惹上麻烦之前... Let's go...
我们走吧 before we get into trouble.
我想近距离看看他 I want to see him close up.
你不是动物园管理员 You're not a zookeeper.
走吧! Come on!
来吧 理查德·帕克 That's it, Richard Parker.
这是给你的 It's for you.
不! No!
你想什么呢? What are you thinking?
你疯了吗? Are you out of your mind?
谁允许你到后面来的? Who gave you permission to come back here?
你忘了所有我教给你的东西 You have just ignored everything I've ever taught you.
我只想跟他打个招呼 I just wanted to say hello to him.
你认为老虎是你的朋友? You think that tiger is your friend?
他是个畜生 不是玩伴 He's an animal, not a playmate.
畜生也有灵魂 Animals have souls.
我能从它们的眼里看到 I have seen it in their eyes.
去找萨尔凡姆 Find Selvam.
你确定吗 先生? 派还是个孩子 You're sure, Sir? Pi's just a boy.
开始吧! Do it. Go ahead!
动物并不像我们一样思考 Animals do not think like we do.
忘记这一点的人都会死在动物手上 People who forget that get themselves killed.
老虎不是你的朋友 That tiger is not your friend.
当你看着他的眼睛... When you look into his eyes...
你只是看到你自己的情感反射而已 you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you.
绝无其他 Nothing else.
别傻了 快道歉 Don't be stupid. Say you're sorry.
你做了什么 皮辛? What have you done, Piscine?
你知道你爸爸不愿意让你来这 You know what your father said about coming back here.
抱歉 我只是... I am sorry. I was...
你到底在想什么? What are you thinking?
这是父子之间的事 This is between a father and his sons.
他已经道歉了 He said he's sorry.
你想让他害怕一生吗? You want to scar them for life?
吓唬他们? 他差点失去了他的胳膊 Scar them? That boy almost lost his arm.
但他还是个孩子 But he's still a boy.
他很快就成为一个男人了 He will be a man sooner than you think.
并且这个教训 我希望他终生难忘 And this is a lesson I do not want them ever to forget.
萨尔凡姆 开始! Selvam!
这使国家处于危险之中 And so has placed the country in a state of emergency.
在指挥下 古吉拉特邦和坦米尔... Under the directive, the states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu...
直接受中央政府指挥 will be placed under the direct authority of the central government.
警方授权可以... Police will be granted powers...
逮捕和无限期拘留 to arrest and indefinitely detain citizens
反动者 responsible for the uprising.
在爸爸的那次教训之后一切都变了 Things changed after the day of Appa's lesson.
世界已经失去平衡了 The world had lost some of its enchantment.
学校很无聊 只剩下案情 帮派和法语 School was a bore. Nothing but facts, fractions and French.
言辞和模式持续不断 Words and patterns that went on and on, without end.
就像我那愚蠢的外号一样 Just like my irrational nickname.
我一直在寻找 I grew restless searching for something
我生命中的意义 that might bring meaning back into my life.
然后 我遇见了安安蒂 And then, I met Anandi.
母亲让我学习音乐 Mother made me study music.
一天 我的老师患了感冒 And one day, my teacher came down with the flu.
他让我代替他 He asked if I could take his place,
为舞蹈课演奏 playing rhythms for a dance class.
不对 No.
如果你们不专心... If you do not concentrate...
你们就不能通过舞蹈表达你们对上帝的爱 you cannot express your love of God through dance.
感受脚下地面的感觉 Feel the ground beneath your feet.
双腿分开 双眼平视 Open your gaze out onto the horizon.
让精神力量通过你传递给世界 Let that spiritual energy pulse through you and out into the world.
通过面部表情 Through abhinaya.
安安蒂 到前面来领舞 Anandi, come to the front. Lead them.
你为什么跟着我? Why are you following me?
什么? What?
你在跟踪我 You were following me.
这是什么意思? What does this mean?
舞蹈课上 你从帕塔卡... In the dance, you went from pataka...
也就是森林的意思 which means the forest.
然后你又做了... And then you did...
桑普塔手势... samputa...
意味着隐藏 which means something that is hidden.
那之后 你做了这个 And after that, you did this.
然后你做了查图拉 And then you did chatura.
但结束时 你这样做的 But at the very end, you did this.
没有其他舞者是这么做的 None of the other dancers did that.
是什么意思? 爱神藏在森林里吗? What did you mean? The god of love is hiding in the forest?
不 这也是莲花的意思 No, that also means the lotus flower.
莲花藏在森林里? Lotus flower is hiding in the forest?
为什么莲花会藏在森林里? Why would a lotus flower hide in the forest?
这是理查德·帕克 And this is Richard Parker.
他是我们这有史以来 He is the most magnificent creature
最威猛的动物 we've ever had here.
看他转头的方式 Look at the way he's turning his head.
他在炫耀 像个舞者一样 Showing off. Like a dancer.
不 他是听到了什么 No, he heard something.
他在倾听 你懂吗? He's listening, you see?
我们谈了一段时间了 We have talked about it for some time.
你明白我说的了吗? Do you understand what I'm saying?
派? Pi?
抱歉 你们在... Sorry, you've been...
担心 Worried.
担心我的家庭 For my family.
我们的动物在国外比在印度更值钱 Our animals are worth far more abroad than here in India.
并且如果市政停止赞助我们... And if the town council stops supporting us...
我不知道我们会怎样 I don't know where we will be.
所以我们必须这么做 So, it is what we have to do.
你明白了吗? Do you understand?
抱歉 我们在谈什么? I'm sorry, what are we talking about?
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.
动物园不是我们的 不能卖 土地还是政府的 The zoo was never ours to sell. The land belongs to the town.
但动物是我们的 如果我们卖掉动物... But the animals are ours and if we sell them...
我们就有能力开始新生活 we will have enough to start a new life.
我们去哪呢? 我们的根在这 爸爸 But where would we go? Our life is here, Appa.
加拿大 Canada.
我有机会在温尼伯市工作 I have some opportunities for work in Winnipeg.
我们会把大部分动物运送到北美卖掉 I'll be shipping most of the animals for sale in North America.
我们全家坐船过去 We can get freighter passage for the whole family.
那么... So...
就这么决定了 it is settled.
我们要向哥伦布一样航行 We will sail like Columbus.
但哥伦布那是在寻找印度 But Columbus was looking for India.
卖掉动物园很费劲 It takes a lot of work to sell a zoo.
我们离开之前... Before we left...
安安蒂和我有的是时间使对方伤心 Anandi and I had time enough to break each other's hearts.
当然 我承诺我将来一定会回来 Of course, I promised I would come back one day.
真有意思 It's funny.
我记得我们最后一天做的所有事 I remember everything else about our last day.
但是不记得说过再见 But I don't remember saying goodbye.
派? 下面开始上晚餐了 Pi? They're serving dinner below.
皮辛... Piscine...
你面前是你的大好人生 you have a whole life ahead of you.
我们是为了你和拉维才这么做的 We are doing this for you and Ravi.
进来吃些晚餐吧 Come inside and have some dinner.
请给我素食的 Vegetarian, please.
我的儿子们和我是素食主义者 你们有没有... Oh, my sons and I are vegetarians. Do you have anything...
不 不 不要肉汤了 No, no, no. Not more gravy.
- 你不要肉汤? - 不要 - You don't want gravy? - No.
我要素食 No, I want something vegetarian.
哦 Oh.
好的 Pas de problème.
她问你们有没有素食餐 She asked if you have something vegetarian.
这肝脏是吃素的母牛的 The cow that produced this liver was vegetarian,
这头猪在被做成猪肉肠前也是吃素的 the pigs that went into these sausages were vegetarian.
有意思 Very funny.
但我妻子不吃肝脏 But my wife doesn't eat liver.
好的 Pas de problème.
那她就吃肉肠 米饭 和肉汤 Then she can eat the sausage, the rice, and the gravy.
或者你们可以自己做 Or you can cook your own food.
你怎么能这么跟我妻子说话? Haw dare you talk to my wife like that?
这是你的米饭 Here's your rice.
我为水手做饭... I cook for sailors...
不是印度鬼 not curry-eaters.
你说什么? What did you say?
放开我! Let go of me!
你以为你是什么东西? 你就是个仆人! Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a servant!
我喂的是人! 你喂的是猴! I feed people! You feed monkeys!
你们好 Hello.
我是个快乐的佛教徒 I am happy Buddhist.
所以 我吃米饭 So, I eat rice
也吃肉汤 next to gravy.
在船上 肉汤不是肉 On ship, gravy is not meat.
是味道 Is taste.

这里 理查德·帕克 我给你弄了点水 Here, Richard Parker. I got some water for you.
在动物园 我们平均每天给老虎喂五公斤肉 In the zoo, we fed our tigers an average of five kilos of meat a day.
理查德·帕克很快就会饿了 Richard Parker will be getting hungry soon.
老虎很擅长游泳 如果它很饿的话... Tigers are powerful swimmers, and if he gets hungry enough...
我恐怕维系我们之间和平的这点水 I'm afraid the little bit of water between us

上帝! Oh, God!
我已经失去了家人! 我已经失去了所有! I've lost my family! I've lost everything!

对不起 I'm sorry.
妈妈 爸爸 拉维... Amma, Appa, Ravi...
我很高兴我能马上见到你们了 I'm happy I'm going to see you soon.
你能感觉到下雨了吗? Can you feel the rain?
上帝 谢谢你赐予我生命 God, thank you for giving me my life.
我准备好了 I'm ready now.
理查德·帕克? Richard Parker?
请让一下 Excuse me.
让一下 Move.
请让一下 Move. Excuse me.
嘿! 嘿! Hey! Hey!
嘿 拜托! Hey, come on!
嘿 Hey.
嘿 走开 这是我的床 Hey, get away. This is my bed.
那是颗人类的牙齿? It was a human tooth?
你看不出来吗? 这个小岛是食肉的 Don't you see? The island was carnivorous.
食肉的? 像捕蝇草一样? Carnivorous? Like a Venus Flytrap?
是的 整个小岛都是 Yes, the whole island.
植物 池塘里的水 就连土地也是 The plants, the water in those pools, the very ground itself.
白天 池塘里都是新鲜的淡水 During the day, those pools held fresh water.
但是到了晚上 一些化学反应 But at night, some chemical process
把池塘里的淡水变成了酸... turned the water in those pools into acid...
正是酸溶解了那些鱼... acid that dissolved those fish...
把猫鼬赶到树上 that sent the meerkats scurrying into the trees,
让理查德·帕克跑回船里 and Richard Parker running to the boat.
但牙齿是从哪里来的? But where did the tooth come from?
多年前 某个可怜的家伙 就像我一样... Years ago, some poor fellow, just like me...
肯定发现了这座岛... must have found himself stranded on that island...
而且像我一样想着可以永远呆在这里 and, like me, thought he might stay there forever.
但是这座岛白天给他的东西 到了晚上就会被收回 But all that the island gave him by day, it took away again by night.
你可以想象一下 他有多少时间仅仅与猫鼬为伴 To think, how many hours spent with only meerkats for company.
又要承受多么强烈的孤独感 How much loneliness taken on.
我所知道的就是他最终还是死了 All I know is that eventually he died
小岛把他消化了... and the island digested him...
只留下了他的牙齿 leaving behind only his teeth.
我预见到 如果我留在岛上 我的生命将孤独地终结 I saw how my life would end if I stayed on that island.
被人遗忘 Alone and forgotten.
我必须重返人间 哪怕要以死相搏 I had to get back to the world, or die trying.
第二天 我一整天都在准备行装 I spent the next day preparing the boat.
我带了尽可能多的淡水 I filled my stores with fresh water,
吃海草吃到再也吃不下为止 ate seaweed until my stomach could take no more,
还在贮藏室里塞满了 and brought as many meerkats as I could fit
留给理查德·帕克吃的猫鼬 into the storage locker for Richard Parker.
我当然不能丢下他自己走掉 I couldn't leave without him, of course.
这与杀了他无异 It would mean killing him.
于是 我等着他回来 And so, I waited for his return.
我知道他不会迟到的 I knew he wouldn't be late.
理查德·帕克! Richard Parker!
从那以后 再也没人见过那座浮岛 No one has seen that floating island since.
你也无法在植物书上看到那些树 And you won't read about those trees in any nature book.
只是 如果我没找到这个岛 我肯定已经死了 And yet, if I hadn't found those shores, I would have died.
如果我没发现那只牙齿 If I hadn't discovered that tooth,
我肯定已经迷失了方向 孤独终老 I would have been lost, alone forever.
虽然上帝似乎已经将我遗弃 Even when God seemed to have abandoned me,
但他一直在看着我 he was watching.
虽然他似乎对我的遭遇无动于衷 Even when he seemed indifferent to my suffering,
但他一直在看着我 he was watching.
当我觉得自己得救无望时 他给了我喘息的机会 And when I was beyond all hope of saving, he gave me rest,
然后指引我继续我的旅程 then gave me a sign to continue my journey.
我们到达墨西哥海岸的时候 By the time we reached the Mexican shore,
我不敢松开紧抓着船只的手 I was afraid to let go of the boat.
我已筋疲力尽 十分虚弱 My strength was gone. I was so weak.
离得救只有一步之遥 I was afraid that in two feet of water,
我却怕会被两英尺深的海水淹死 so close to deliverance, I would drown.
我跌跌撞撞登上海岸 倒在了海滩上 I struggled to shore and fell upon the sand.
沙子温暖而柔软 It was warm and soft,
就像把脸贴在了上帝的脸颊上 like pressing my face against the cheek of God.
在某个地方 一双眼睛正在微笑 欢迎我的到来 And somewhere, two eyes were smiling at having me there.
我筋疲力尽 无法动弹 I was so spent, I could hardly move.
于是 理查德·帕克走到了我前面 And so, Richard Parker went ahead of me.
他伸了个懒腰 沿着海岸一直走 He stretched his legs and walked along the shore.
在丛林边上 他停了下来 At the edge of the jungle, he stopped.
我以为他肯定会回头看看我 I was certain he was going to look back at me,
俯首贴耳地叫唤一声 flatten his ears to his head, growl.
我以为他会以某种方式结束我们的友谊 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 stared ahead into the jungle.
然后理查德·帕克 我凶猛的同伴 And then, Richard Parker, my fierce companion,
让我活了下来的猛兽 the terrible one who kept me alive,
从我的生命中永远消失了 disappeared forever from my life.
几个小时后 一个人发现了我 After a few hours, a member of my own species found me.
他搬来几个救兵 把我扛走了 He left and returned with a group who carried me away.
我哭得像个小孩子 I wept like a child.
但不是得救后的喜极而泣 虽然当时的确很开心 Not because I was overwhelmed at having survived, although I was.
我哭是因为理查德·帕克无声无息地离开了我 I was weeping because Richard Parker left me so unceremoniously.
这件事伤透了我的心 It broke my heart.
我爸说得对 You know, my father was right.
理查德·帕克从未把我当过朋友 Richard Parker never saw me as his friend.
我们一起经历了那么多 他走的时候居然头也不回 After all we had been through, he didn't even look back.
但我相信 在他的眼睛里 But I have to believe there was more in his eyes
我看到的不止是我自己 than my own reflection staring back at me.
我知道 我感觉得到 I know it. I felt it.
虽然我证明不了 Even if I can't prove it.
我失去了太多 You know, I've left so much behind.
家人 动物园 印度 安安蒂 My family, the zoo, India, Anandi.
我估计 到最后 一切都得放开 I suppose, in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go.
但最伤人的 But what always hurts the most
始终是没能说再见 is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
我一直没机会感谢爸爸教会了我那么多 I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him.
一直没机会告诉他 如果没有他的教导 To tell him, without his lessons,
我不可能幸存 I would never have survived.
我知道理查德·帕克是只老虎 但我希望当时能对他说 I know Richard Parker is a tiger, but I wish I had said,
"结束了 我们活下来了" "It's over. We survived."
"谢谢你救了我 我爱你 理查德·帕克" "Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker."
"我永远都会记得你" "You will always be with me."
"愿上帝与你同在" "May God be with you."
我不知道说什么好 I don't know what to say.
很难以置信吧? It's hard to believe, isn't it?
信息量太大了 It is a lot to take in.
也很难理解其意义 To figure out what it all means.
一切都是顺其自然的 If it happened, it happened.
为什么非得有意义呢? Why should it have to mean anything?
有些片段真的是不可思议 Some of it is pretty incredible.
我是那次海难唯一的幸存者 See, I was the only one who survived the shipwreck.
于是日本航运公司派了两个人来找我谈话 So the Japanese shipping company sent two men to talk to me
那时我正在墨西哥的医院疗养 in the Mexican hospital where I was recovering.
他们报告的副本我还留着 I still have a copy of their report.
他们有保险事宜要处理 They had insurance claims to settle,
还想弄清沉船的原因 and they wanted to find out why the ship sank.
他们也不相信我 They didn't believe me, either.
成千上万的猫鼬在一座漂浮的食人岛上 Thousands of meerkats on a floating carnivorous island
这座岛却从未被人发现过? and no one has ever seen it?
是的 正如我所说的那样 Yes, just like I told you.
香蕉是漂不起来的 Bananas don't float.
为什么说起香蕉来了? Why are you talking about bananas?
你说那只猩猩坐在一捆香蕉上漂到你那里 You said the orangutan floated to you on a bundle of bananas.
但香蕉是漂不起来的 But bananas don't float.
你确定吗? Are you sure about that?
当然漂得起来 不信你自己试试看 Of course they do. Try it for yourself.
不管怎样 我们不是来聊香蕉或者猫鼬的 In any case, we are not here to talk about bananas or meerkats.
我刚跟你们讲完一个很长的故事 我很累 Look, I've just told you a long story and I'm very tired.
我们来这里 是因为一艘日本货船在太平洋沉没了 We are here because a Japanese cargo ship sank in the Pacific.
那可是终身难忘 Something I never forget.
我全家人都死了 I lost my whole family.
给他倒杯水 Get him some water.
我们不是逼你 We don't mean to push you,
我们对你深表同情 and you have our deepest sympathies.
但我们大老远过来 But we have come a long way
调查沉船的原因 却毫无进展 and we are no closer to understanding why the ship sank.
因为我不知道 Because I don't know.
我当时在睡觉 有声音把我吵醒了 I was asleep. Something woke me up.
可能是爆炸声 我不确定 It could have been an explosion, I can't be sure.
然后船就沉了 And then the ship sank.
你们还想知道什么? What else do you want from me?
一个不会让别人把我们当傻瓜的故事 A story that won't make us look like fools.
我们写进报告里的故事要简单点 We need a simpler story for our report.
要我们公司能理解 One our company can understand.
要大家都会相信的版本 A story we can all believe.
所以说这个故事里不能有你们没见过的东西 So, a story without things you've never seen before.
没错 That's right.
不能有意外的事 不能有动物或者岛屿 Without surprises. Without animals or islands.
是的 我们要的是真相 Yes. The truth.
然后你怎么说? So, what did you do?
我给他们讲了另外一个故事 I told them another story.
有四个幸存者 Four of us survived.
厨师和水手已经在救生艇上了 The cook and the sailor were already aboard.
厨师扔给我一个救生圈 把我拉了上去 The cook threw me a lifebuoy and pulled me aboard
我妈抓着香蕉游上了救生艇 and Mother held on to some bananas and made it to the lifeboat.
那厨师很令人反感 The cook was a disgusting man.
他吃了一只老鼠 He ate a rat.
我们的食物足够吃好几周 但他在头几天找到了一只老鼠 We had food enough for weeks, but he found the rat in the first few days
于是他把它杀掉 晒干吃掉了 and he killed it, dried it in the sun and ate it.
他就像个野人似的 He was such a brute, that man.
但很会随机应变 But he was resourceful.
做筏子来捕鱼是他的主意 It was his idea to build the raft to catch fish.
如果没有他 我们在头几天就已经死了 We would have died in those first few days without him.
水手就是那个吃肉汤饭的佛教徒 The sailor was the same man who brought rice and gravy, the Buddhist.
我们听不太懂他说的话 只知道他很痛苦 We didn't understand much of what he said, only that he was suffering.
他摔断了腿 伤势很重 He had broken his leg horribly in the fall.
我们尽力想把骨头接回去 但那条腿已经感染了 We tried to set it as best we could, but the leg became infected,
厨师说 我们得想办法 不然他会死的 and the cook said that we had to do something or he'd die.
他说让他来 The cook said he'd do it,
但我和我妈得把水手按住 but Mother and I had to hold the man down.
我相信他 我们别无选择 And I believed him, we needed to do it.
于是... So...
我不停地说 "对不起 对不起" I kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
他一直看着我 他的眼睛很... And he just kept looking at me. His eyes were so...
我一直没明白他为什么这么痛苦 I'll never understand the point of that man's suffering.
他的声音现在还在我耳边回响 I can still hear him.
他是个幸福的佛教徒 只吃肉汁饭 The happy Buddhist, he only ate rice and gravy.
当然 我们没救活他 We didn't save him, of course.
他死了 He died.
第二天早上 厨师头一回抓到了剑鱼 The morning after, the cook caught his first dorado
我不知道他怎么抓到的 但我妈知道 and I didn't understand what he had done at first, but Mother did,
我从没见我妈这么生气过 and I had never seen Mother so angry.
他说"别哭了 开心点" "Stop whining and be happy," he said.
"我们需要更多食物 不然我们都会死 这才是重点" "We need more food or we'll die. That was the whole point."
我妈问他"重点是什么?" "What was the whole point?" Mother asked.
"你让那可怜的孩子死掉就是为了弄到鱼饵 你这个禽兽!" "You let that poor boy die in order to get bait, you monster!"
厨师生气了 The cook got furious.
他向她举起了拳头 He started towards her with his fist raised
我妈狠狠地扇了他一个耳光 and Mother slapped him hard, right across the face.
我吓坏了 I was stunned.
我当时以为他会杀了她 I thought he was going to kill her right then.
但他没有 But he didn't.
他也不再继续做鱼饵 The cook didn't stop at bait either, no.
那水手... The sailor...
像那只老鼠一样被吃掉了 he went the same way the rat went.
厨师很会随机应变 The cook was a resourceful man.
一周后 他... It was a week later that he...
都是因为我 Because of me.
因为我连一只笨海龟都抓不住 Because I couldn't hold on to a stupid turtle.
它挣脱了我的手 游走了 It slipped out of my hands and swam away.
厨师走过来 一拳打在我脑袋上 And the cook came up and he punched me on the side of my head
打得我的牙齿噼啪作响 眼冒金星 and my teeth clacked and I saw stars.
我以为他还要打我 I thought he was going to hit me again,
但我妈开始用拳头揍他 but Mother started pounding on him with her fists,
边打边喊 "禽兽 禽兽!" screaming, "Monster, monster!"
她对我大吼 叫我到筏子上去 She yelled at me to go to the raft.
我以为她会和我一起过去 不然我肯定不会... I thought she was coming with me, or I'd never have...
我不知道我为什么没让她先上筏子 I don't know why I didn't make her go first.
我日日夜夜都会想到这件事 I think about that every day.
我跳了过去 一回头 发现厨师把刀拔了出来 I jumped over and turned back just as the knife came out.
我束手无策 There wasn't anything I could do.
也无法忍住不看 I couldn't look away.
他把她的尸体扔到水里 He threw her body overboard.
然后鲨鱼过来了 我看到它们... And then the sharks came. And I saw what they...
我看到了 I saw.
第二天 我杀了他 The next day, I killed him.
他没还手 他知道自己太过分了 He didn't even fight back. He knew he had gone too far,
哪怕是依照他自己的原则 even by his own standards.
他把刀留在了长凳上 He'd left the knife out on the bench,
我如法炮制他对水手的所作所为 and I did to him what he did to the sailor.
他真是十恶不赦 但更糟糕的是... He was such an evil man, but worse still, he...
