那天晚上班德医生跟我说 Doc Bender said to me the other night,

"她再次拒绝了我" "She turned me down, again,"
他说："拉里 快做决定吧 he said... "Larry, make up your mind.
你是同性恋还是异性恋？" "Are you homosexual or heterosexual?"
我说："医生 我是双性恋" I said, "Doc, I'm ambisexual."
他说："这他妈到底是什么意思？" He said... "What the hell does that even mean?"
我说："我的意思是 我两只手都一样能打手枪" I said, "It means I can jerk off equally well with either hand."
拉里！这里还有女士呢 Oh, Larry! There's a lady present.
好吧 女人也可以用两只手 Well, women can use either hand, too.
但要成为一名作家 不得有点儿"全性取向"吗？ But to be a writer, you have to be kind of omnisexual, don't you?
你心里得装得下地球上任何东西 You have to have, inside yourself, you know, everyone on earth.

我最好把你的名字记下来 以防我需要一个新的搭档 I better take your name down in case I need a new partner.
嘿 你今晚去看首演了吗？ Hey, did you go to the opening tonight?
《俄克拉荷马！》还有惊叹号呢 Oklahoma! With an exclamation point, no less.
事实上 凡是标题里硬塞感叹号的 Fact. Any title that feels the need for an exclamation point,
你最好敬而远之 you want to steer clear of.
你刚才说你叫什么来着？ What did you say your name was again?
莫蒂·里夫金 但我平时用莫蒂·拉弗蒂这个名字 Uh, Morty Rifkin. But I go by the name of Morty Rafferty.
没人能猜到你是犹太人 No one could possibly guess you're Jewish.
祝贺《俄克拉荷马！》首演之夜圆满成功
你觉得俄克拉荷马怎么样？ Wha'dja think of Oklahoma?
我觉得俄克拉荷马怎么样？ What did I think of Oklahoma?
好吧 指关节 Well, Knuckles,
指关节·奥里夫金 我以后就这么叫你 Knuckles O'Rifkin, that's what I'm going to call you,
我在纽黑文的预演中看过几次这个节目 I saw the show a couple of times in previews in New Haven,
当时这个节目名字还是《远走高飞！》 还带个感叹号 back when they were still calling it Away We Go! Exclamation point.
我有预感迪克会给我打电话 And I felt sure Dick was gonna call me,
"拉里 我们有大麻烦了 "Larry, we're in big trouble.
我需要你把节目弄得搞笑一点 我们需要一些大型喜剧曲目" "I need you to funny up the show. We need some big comedy numbers."
我准备说 And I was all ready to say,
"迪克 别再整这些土味美式风格了 "Dick, instead of all this cornpone Americana,
咱们来个讽刺版的土味美式风格吧" "let's do a sendup of cornpone Americana!"
我当时已经在脑海里构思歌词了 根本停不下来 I was already writing lyrics in my head. I couldn't stop.
那他给你打电话了吗？ And did he call you?
你在开玩笑吗？他当时正忙着写更多的热门歌曲 Are you kidding? He was too busy writing more hits. Huh.
我今晚坐在包厢里看了 带感叹号的《俄克拉荷马！》 I sat in my box seat tonight and watched "Oklahomo, exclamation point"...
在那里 一切在粉色灯光下闪闪发光 ...down there, glittering in all its pink lights
还有那些牛仔帽和旋转套索 and all those cowboy hats and twirling lassos,
我无比确定两件事 and I knew two things with absolute certainty.
它是万众瞩目的热门作品 It was a 14karat hit
也是彻头彻尾的一坨狗屎 and it was a 14karat piece of shit.
我有个朋友看了预演 Oh. Friend of mine saw it in previews,
说这是他这辈子看过的最棒的演出之一 said it was one of the best shows he's ever seen.
这场演出在各个层面上都是弄虚作假 The show is fraudulent on every possible level.
而且我这话可不是出于嫉妒 懂吗？ And this is not jealousy speaking, okay?
我今晚看了那场演出 心里涌起一阵强烈的失落感 I watched that show tonight and I felt this great sinking in my heart.
可我周围的人都在欢呼 他们居然为那些三流笑话欢呼 And all around me people are roaring. They are roaring at thirdrate jokes.
我想抓住观众的肩膀 跟他们说 I wanted to grab the audience by the shoulders and say,
"你在笑什么？别这样！笑点能不能高一点！" 还有... "What are you laughing at? Come on! Demand more!" And...
罗杰斯是个天才 Rodgers is a genius.
这话我说的毫不犹豫 I say that without one second's hesitation.
你是个钢琴手 你肯定知道我说的是对的 You're a piano player. You know that I'm right.
是的 他非常厉害 Yeah, he's pretty good.
只是非常厉害？ Pretty good?
没人能有他那样的音域 那样的创造力 There is no one with his range, his inventiveness,
还有那些恢弘激昂如打桩机般层层推进的阳刚旋律 great soaring masculine melodies building like pile drivers.
我是说 罗杰斯是个冷血的混蛋 I mean, Rodgers is a coldhearted son of a bitch,
但他就是能让旋律漂浮起来 but he can get a melody to levitate,
而这正是伟大艺术的标志 漂浮感 and that is the hallmark of great art, levitation.
我有种美妙的感觉 I've got a beautiful feeling
就是这个瞬间 你听到了吗？ That's the moment. You hear that?
当你脊背发光 When your spine glows
而整首歌的创作架构突然挣脱重力束缚的那一刻 and the whole apparatus of songwriting suddenly breaks free from gravity.
这个星球上可能有五个人能做到 There's maybe five people on the planet that can pull that off,
而那个混蛋就是其中之一 and that son of a bitch is one of 'em.
然后 歌词出自奥斯卡·汉默斯坦二世 And then, oy... Words by Oscar Hammerstein II.
关于奥斯卡我能说什么呢？ What can I say about Oscar?
他随时可能会大步走进来 He's going to come striding in here any second,
身高将近两米三 all seven and a half feet of him,
这次迪克特意选了个高个子的 and, you know, Dick deliberately went with somebody tall this time,
你知道的 you know that.
但关于奥斯卡我能说什么呢？ But what can I say about Oscar?
他太"接地气"了 He's so earthbound,
说白了 我们大多数人都是"接地气"的 and let's face it, most of us are earthbound.
但有些时刻 我向上帝发誓 But there are moments, I swear to God,
我作品中的某些时刻 there are moments in my work
我创造了比自己更伟大的东西 when I have made something bigger than myself.
我绝对同意 I agree, definitely.
谢谢 那些歌词比旋律更有分量 Thank you. The words were bigger than the music,
比唱歌的角色更有分量 bigger than the characters who sang them,
而且也许在那半秒的瞬间 触碰到了某种不朽的境界 and they approached, for maybe onehalf second, something immortal.
抱歉我有点自视甚高 但事实确实如此 Excuse my limitless selfregard, but they did,
要是没人敢说这话 那我来先说 and if nobody else is going to say it, then I'm going to.
我写过那么几句词 能够欺骗死神 I have written a handful of words that are going to cheat death.
你说这句话时还真像个疯子一样谦虚 Spoken with the modesty of a true lunatic.
嘿！当莎士比亚写到 Hey! When Shakespeare wrote,
"王公贵族的大理石墓碑和镀金的纪念碑 "Not marble nor gilded monuments
都无法比这铿锵诗句更长寿" "Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme,"
人们会说："天啊 太自负了"吗？ did people say, "My God, what an ego"?
不 他们会说他是个天才 知道自己的作品会流传下去 No, they said he is a genius, and he knows his work is going to last.
所以你是莎士比亚了？ So now you're Shakespeare?
听着 《俄克拉荷马！》会赢得该死的普利策奖 我知道这一点 Look, Oklahoma! is going to win the goddamn Pulitzer. I know that.
从现在到世界末日 高中都会一直排演这个戏 High schools are going to put it on from now till doomsday,
因为它是如此的"安全无害" because it is so inoffensive.
但说真的 谁会需要"安全无害"的艺术呢？ But really, who wants inoffensive art?
指关节 你在听我说话吗？我正在回答你的问题 Knuckles... ...are you listening to me? I'm trying to answer your question.
难道上帝把我们送到这世上 就是为了不冒犯任何人吗？ Is that why God put us on the planet, to not offend people?
《俄克拉荷马！》的问题就在于此 The problem with Oklahoma! is this,
这问题一开始就在原著剧本里了 and the problem was right there in the original play,
该死的《紫丁香郁郁生》 Green Grow the Fucking Lilacs.
迪克最先给我看了那部原著好吗？ And Dick first showed that play to me, all right?
他先让我改编 但是我拒绝了 He asked me to adapt it first, and I said no,
我并不介意它走怀旧风 and I don't mind that it's nostalgic,
可《俄克拉荷马！》 but Oklahoma!, exclamation point,
怀念的是一个压根不存在的世界 is nostalgic for a world that never existed,
而且说真的 你真的想写一部主角叫科利的剧吗？ and do you really want to write a show where the main character's name is Curly?
我想到写一首歌的点子 Oh, here's an idea for a song.
"嘿 莫伊！嘿 拉里！我刚踏进了奶牛屎！" "Hey, Moe! Hey, Larry! I Just Stepped in Cow Shit!"
我是说 我这算心怀不满吗？ I mean, am I bitter?
我们一起创作了25年 We write together for a quarter a century,
然后他和别人一起创作的第一部剧 and the first show he writes with someone else
就成了他这辈子最火的作品 我这算心怀不满吗？ is gonna be the biggest hit he ever had. Am I bitter?
拉里... 那他妈当然是了 Larry... Fuck yes.
但我需要告诉你伊丽莎白的事 But I need to tell you about Elizabeth.
我需要净化我的心灵 I need to cleanse my heart.
又开始了 那个20岁的姑娘... Here we go. The 20yearold...
她随时会进来 She's going to come in here any second.
罗杰斯今晚会来这里 对吗？ Uh, Rodgers is gonna be here tonight, right?
别担心 我会介绍你们认识 那太好了 Don't worry, I'll introduce you. Oh, that'd be great.
我想找人听我的歌 I'm trying to get somebody to listen to my songs.
你要聆听和学习 Well, listen and learn.
我在跟你说伊丽莎白的事 I'm telling you about Elizabeth.
有件事很吸引人... There's something appealingly...
她的脸庞有种空灵的气质 ethereal about her face.
这话什么意思？ What the fuck does that mean?
听着 我给她买了这么多礼物 Look, I got her all these presents.
你从克莱因那里给她买了礼物？ You bought her something from Klein's?
她会喜欢这个的 She's gonna love this.
是的 那都是二手货 你要干什么？ Yeah, but that's used shit. What are you doing?
《人性的枷锁》 毛姆著
这可是本正版初版书 你根本不懂 This is an authentic firstedition. You don't understand the magic
这姑娘身上的神秘气质 and the mystery of this girl.
"我这辈子都在等着这个机会" "I have been waiting for this my whole life."
这是萨默塞特·毛姆在那本书里写的 你还记得吧？ It's what Somerset Maugham says in that thing, you remember?
我吗？ 是的 Me? Yeah.
"感情里总有一个人在默默付出 而另一个人只愿被爱 " "There's always one who loves and one who lets himself be loved."
这是事实 不是吗？ That's the truth, isn't it?
当然是 你知道当你从 Of course, you know you're in trouble
名字里带"枷锁"的书里找寻 when you're looking for the meaning of life
人生的意义 那你已经陷入困境了 in a book with the word "bondage" in the title.

好吧 我一直认为你更感兴趣的是... Okay. See, I always thought that your interests went more towards...
我的兴趣吗？ My interests?
所以你现在要剖析我？ So now you're going to analyze me?
谢谢你 巴卡迪医生 Thank you, Doctor Bacardi.
我是在《天哪朱庇特》的排练现场认识她的 Look, I met her at rehearsals for By Jupiter.
她不是演员 And she's not an actress.
她是个大二学生 She's a college student. Sophomore.
耶鲁大学 不是普通学院 那种是给男生上的 Yale. Not the general school, that's for the guys.

"我不可替代的伊丽莎白！" 你能相信吗？ "My irreplaceable Elizabeth!" Can you believe it?
如果我能在这一刻写出我心里的话 If I could write what's in my heart this second,
我会让整个观众飘起来 I would have the entire audience levitating.
要是《俄克拉荷马！》能听到我心里这段 Oklahoma! would close in shame
旋律的八小节 它都得羞愧地停止演出 if it could hear eight bars of what's in my heart.
我今晚也去了八个酒吧 所以我知道自己在说什么 And I've been in eight bars tonight, so I know what I'm talking about.
继续！ Go!
去年夏天 我发现自己在凌晨四点半醒来 Last summer, I found myself awake at 4:30 in the morning.

你会把我介绍给理查德·罗杰斯 对吗？ You're going to introduce me to Richard Rodgers, right?
在今晚结束之前 Before the evening is over,
你会得到一大把迪克 you're going to get a huge handful of Dick.
拉里！你太粗俗了 Larry! You're so vulgar!
一大把迪克 这也太逗了 嘿... Handful of Dick, that's funny. Hey... Hmm.
我在写一部关于她的音乐剧 I'm writing an entire musical about her.
灵感来源于弗兰克·卡普拉的战争电影《我们为何而战》 It's inspired by those Frank Capra war pictures Why We Fight.
这个音乐剧名字就叫 This one will be called
《我们为何做爱》 Why We Fuck.
结尾的抒情曲将会是 And the big ballad at the end will be
《他背上的皮肤完美无瑕》 The Skin On His Back Was Flawless.
当然了 当你20岁的时候 Of course, when you're 20,
除了你的身体 你还有什么东西可以拿来交换呢？ what other commodity do you have to trade in on except your body?
你俩什么都没发生 对吗？ You haven't done anything, right?
你能想象如果伊丽莎白看到我的背 她会写什么吗？ Can you imagine what Elizabeth would write if she saw my back?
"他背上的皮肤 "The skin on his back
看着就像被人吐过的白色床单 "looked like a white bed sheet someone had thrownup on.
他那玩意儿看着就像只智障独角兽的角" "His pecker looked like the horn of a retarded unicorn."
就喝一杯... Just one...
让我撑过祝贺他的这一阵子 to get me through congratulating him.
拉里 Larry.
敬她背部的皮肤 就像她身体其他部位一样 To the skin on her back like every other part of her,
完美无瑕 flawless.
哇 Wow.
怎么能把这么多快乐都压缩进这么小的一个容器里呢？ How can so much pleasure be compressed into so small a container?
就这样 绝对不再喝了 同意吗？ That's it. Absolutely no more. Agreed?
天啊！我想念格什温 God! I miss Gershwin.
我敢说在这座城市里 没人比我看《波吉与贝丝》的次数更多 I bet I saw Porgy and Bess more times than any other person in this city.
这部剧里最好的台词是 Best line in Porgy,
"上帝造瘸子时 就注定了他要孤独" "When Gawd made cripple, He mean him to be lonely."
你有没有想过人生就是一部戏 Did you ever think your entire life is a play...
其中99%的人 Hmm. ...and that, you know, 99% of the people in it,
没有台词 你知道吗？ they got no lines, you know?
他们就像临时演员一样 They're just like extras.
而你只是他们剧中的临时演员 And you, you're just an extra in their play.
深刻 非常深刻 Deep. Very deep.
我也是有想法的 真的吗？ I got thoughts, too, you know. Really?
我还以为你只是个临时演员 I thought you were just an extra.
谁能把这些该死的花从吧台拿走？ Will somebody get these fucking flowers off my bar?
好的！ Okay!
你得像我当初那样看她 You've got to see her as I did.
我刚才不是已经见过她了吗？ 不 我是说第一次的时候 I just seen her. No, the first time.
如果你看不出来 If you can't see that,
你就无法理解这整晚的意义 you can't understand what this whole night is about.
我现在相信你没上过她了 I'm beginning to think you didn't screw her.
我想先在你这儿练练这招 再用给她看 I want to practice this trick on you before I do it for her.
我不会把这个当作把戏给她看 And I'm not showing it to her as a trick.
我把这个展示给她看 是想做个试验来证明 I'm showing it to her as an experiment to prove
来证明我们之间有超感官的联系 there's an extrasensory link between us.
她相信那些玄乎的玩意儿 She believes in all that horseshit, you know,
跟我聊了20分钟的心灵致动 talking for 20 minutes about psychokinesis.
我一个字都没听懂 I don't understand a fucking word she's saying.
我坐在那里点头 心里想着 I'm sitting there, nodding, thinking,
"她真的穿着葡萄色的胸罩吗？" "Is she really wearing a grapecolored brassiere?"
稍后 我会教你们我创的纸牌游戏 And later, I'm going to teach you boys my own card game.
叫"混蛋的拉米"！ 拉里 注意措辞 Cocksucker's Rummy! Larry, language.
你被"混蛋"这个词冒犯了？ Ooh, you're offended by the word "cocksucker"?
好吧 那我不说这个词了 我以混蛋的身份向你保证 All right, I won't use it. I give you my word as a cocksucker.
但我跟你说我第一次见到她的时候 But let me tell you about the first time I saw her.
我觉得我更想看纸牌魔术 I think I'd rather see the card trick.
我也是 Me, too.
你知道地球上最性感的东西是什么吗？ You know what the sexiest thing on the planet earth is?
半勃起的阴茎 A halferect penis.
天啊 拉里 没人想听这个 Jesus Christ, Larry, nobody wants to hear this.
我又不是跟你说话 I'm not talking to you.
那你跟谁说呢？ 我 Who you talking to? Me.
我得找个有趣的人说话 我的意思是说 I got to talk to somebody interesting. I mean it, though.
半勃起的阴茎是承诺 A halferect penis is a promise.
完全勃起的阴茎是感叹号 A fullyerect penis is an exclamation point.
作为一名作家 感叹号让我很反感 它太吵了 也太幼稚了 As a writer, it offends me. It's too loud, it's too adolescent.
故事已经结束了 The story's already over.
但半勃起的阴茎 是要软下去还是硬起来呢？ But a halferect penis, is it going or is it coming?
但女人对我的吸引力恰恰是因为她们没有阴茎 But women appeal to me precisely for their absence of penises.
我也是 Me, too.
她们生活在一个比我们更有趣的情感场景中 Oh, they live in a much more interesting emotional landscape than we do.
一个只存在于我们梦境中的场景 A landscape we can only dream about.
但今晚无关场景 But this evening is not about landscapes.
只是伊丽莎白的肖像画 而且画中只有伊丽莎白 It's a portrait of Elizabeth, and only Elizabeth.
又他妈的来了 Here we fucking go again.
等下 你看到了她很美对吧？ Wait, you saw that she was beautiful, right?
我是说 如果不是传统意义上的美 那该用什么词形容好呢... I mean, if not classically beautiful, then, what's the right word...
漂亮的乳房 Nice tits.
很小但很吸引人 Small but very inviting.
我希望我能给她画画 I wish I could paint her.
在我看来这似乎是观察一个人最私密的方式了 That seems to me the most intimate way of looking at a person.
与此同时 它也是最不煽情的 At the same time, the least sentimental.
为了准确地画出她的脸 To accurately reproduce the planes of her face,
左脸颊上的两个小雀斑 the two tiny freckles on her left cheek.
你看起来很眼熟 我在什么地方见过你的照片 You look familiar. I've seen your picture somewhere.
你是作家？ You're a writer?
那你会欣赏这个故事的 Well, then you will appreciate this story.
因为它涉及... Because it concerns the...
无法形容的？ Ineffable?
这个词很完美 That's the perfect word.
老天！你是E·B·怀特！是 "安迪"·怀特啊！ Christ! You're E.B. White! You're "Andy" White!
我真没法形容我有多喜欢你的散文 I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your essays.
没有什么比这更让我开心了 Nothing has given me more pleasure.
我太喜欢你的写作风格了 谢谢 I'm in love with your language. Thank you.
我喜欢你的每个标点 I'm in love with your punctuation.
每个标点都恰到好处 我说的对吗？ You can't move a single comma. Am I right?
你简直是个音乐家 怀特 I mean, you're a musician, White.
你才是音乐家 You're the musician.
你肯定比任何人都更能欣赏这个故事 You know, you, above all people, will appreciate this story.
这个女孩叫伊丽莎白 This girl, Elizabeth.
我...我无法为她表演 你懂我的意思吗？ I... I can't do my act for her. You know what I mean?
她不会感兴趣的 她从不问我的事 She wouldn't be interested. She never asks me about me.
从不 然而我觉得这并非漠不关心 Never. And it isn't so much indifference, I think,
而是我们都意识到 as much as we both recognize
她确实比我更有趣 that she's legitimately more interesting than I am.
我是真的发自内心的 And I genuinely mean that.
你们看到她的头发了吗？ Did you guys see her hair?
当她去年七月走进剧院时 我第一眼注意到的就是她的头发 That's what I first noticed when she walked into the theater last July.
仿佛她呼吸的空气都和我不一样 It was as if she were breathing different air than I was.
我喜欢这个比喻 我跟你说 怀特 I like that. I'm telling you, White,
她的故事太适合改编成一部精彩的音乐剧了！ she would make a great musical!
而且整场演出里连一根该死的玉米秆都没有！ And not one goddamn corn stalk in the whole show!
嘿 伙计们 郑重声明 And, hey, fellas, just for the record,
"玉米和大象的眼睛一样高" "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye"
这是美国历史上最愚蠢的歌词 is the stupidest lyric in the history of American songwriting.
没错 这句词逻辑完全通顺 读起来也朗朗上口 Yes, it makes perfect sense, and, yes, it scans,
但你想象一下俄克拉荷马的玉米地中间 but the image of an Oklahoma cornfield
居然站着一头该死的大象 这合理吗？ with a fucking elephant standing in the middle of it?
我喜欢大象 我们都喜欢大象 艾迪 I like elephants. Yeah, we all like elephants, Eddie.
听着安迪 我要你了解这个 Look, Andy, I need you to see this.
虽然我在听她说话 I'm listening to her talk,
但完全没有抓住她说了什么 but I couldn't tell you a single word she said
因为我真正在想的是 'cause all I'm really thinking is,
"等你感受到她目光的温度 "Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance,
忧郁又甜美 且充满智慧" "pensive and sweet and wise."
我这首歌词写的就是她 I was writing about her when I wrote that lyric.
三个完美的词按完美的顺序排列 Three perfect words, in the perfect order.
你说说 还有哪个词作者敢用"忧郁"这个词而不显得突兀的？ And, you tell me, what other lyricist could've gotten away with "pensive"?
这首歌叫什么名字？ What song was that?
跟你说吧 我厉害起来 可是真厉害 Just telling you, when I'm good, I'm really good.
单听这文字的韵律感就知道了！这才是作家该有的样子 Just the sound of it! That's what a writer does.
我们把脆弱当作披风 任凭全世界观望 We wear our vulnerability like a cloak for all the world to witness.
我喜欢"披风"这个词 I like the word "cloak."
那是因为它和我们一样是老古董 That's 'cause it's an antique like us.
我可以再请你喝一杯吗？ Can I get you another drink?
好啊 为什么不呢？ Sure. Why not?
我可以想出上千个拒绝的理由 I can think of a thousand reasons why not,
但它们根本抵不过同意的理由 but they can't compete with the reasons why.
埃迪 把酒递过来 再为咱们这儿的当家喝彩 Eddie, pass the Lord and praise the house physician!
再来一轮！就一点... Another round! Just a little, just...
你写的那篇佛罗里达的文章 你知道我最喜欢什么吗？ You know what I loved in that essay you wrote about Florida?
那句台词 That line.
"大海回答所有问题 而且总是一样 '这么快吗？'" "The sea answers all questions and always the same way... 'So soon?'"
天啊 Jesus.
把声音转化成什么？ To take a sound and transform it into what?
一声永恒的叹息 A sigh of eternity.
这是我的微薄的礼物 My diminutive gift.
敬从无数意想不到的地方涌来的诗意 To the poetry that pours down on us from a thousand unexpected sources.
敬你的诗歌 To your poetry.
听着 她20岁 而我47岁 Look, she's 20, I'm 47.
咱们就像两个清醒的酒鬼一样好好聊聊这事 Let's discuss this like two sensible alcoholics.
刚开始的时候 一切都和看上去一样 It was in the beginning, everything was exactly as it seemed.
我是她的导师 而且我猜 I was her mentor, and I suppose I was, you know,
在她眼里我大概就是剧院里的"老前辈"吧 the "grand old man" of the theater in her eyes.
我正在舒伯特剧院排练《天哪朱庇特》呢 I'm over at the Shubert rehearsing By Jupiter,
这部剧简直是一团糟 the show is a holy mess.
我正在和约翰尼·格林讨论 And I'm having this debate with Johnny Green
《向百老汇问好》的歌词 about the lyrics to Give My Regards to Broadway.
我记得我从小就喜欢那首歌 I remember, as a kid, falling in love with that song.
向老百老汇问好 Give my regards to old Broadway
说我很快就会到 And say that I'll be there 'ere long
即使我当时还是个孩子 我立马就明白了 I knew instantly, even as a kid,
让那句台词充满速度感与必然性的就是其中的内韵 that what gave that line its speed, its inevitability, was the inner rhyme.
不只是 'there' 和 ''ere' 的押韵 还有'way' 和 'say' And not just the "there, 'ere." But the other one. The "way, say."
照理说这句词应该是 The line should logically be,
"向老百老汇问好 告诉他们我很快会到" "Give my regards to old Broadway and tell them that I'll be there."
但把动词改成"说" But to change the verb to "say,"
这让一切都不同了 it made all the difference.
指关节 你知道科汉吗？ Knuckles, do you know any Cohan?
在那边！ 在那边！ Over there! Over there!
把消息传过去 传过去 在那边 Send the word, send the word Over there
美国兵来了！ 美国兵来了！ That the Yanks are coming! The Yanks are coming!
到处都是鼓声 The drum drumdrumming everywhere...
我们就要过去 我们正冲过去！ We'll be over We're coming over!
我们绝不会回来 直到那边的战争结束！ And we won't come back 'till it's over, over there!
你知道美国兵在一战中是怎么唱的吗？ You know what the Yanks really sang in the Great War?
"我们不会回来了 我们会被埋葬在那边！" "We won't come back. We'll be buried over there!"
事实的确是这样 And they were.
一战中死亡总人数是3700万 Total number of deaths in the Great War, 37 million.
我想也许"伟大"这个形容词不应该出现在"战争"之前 I think maybe the adjective "great" should never precede the word "war."
阿门 Amen to that.
当上帝俯视他的子民时 What does God think when he looks down on his creation
看到我们以最崇高的动机之名把3700万人送入坟墓 and sees that under the noblest of motives, we sent 37 million people to their grave?
他会怎么想？ That's why it's raining all the time. God is weeping.
这就是为什么总是下雨 那是上帝在哭泣 I'm a patriot. I am.
我是个爱国者 的确是 I mean, you're a soldier. God bless you.
我是说 你是个士兵 上帝保佑你 But how many are going to die this time around?
但这次又会有多少人死去？ Will we even be able to put a number on it?
我们能数得过来吗？ I'm on leave. Taking care of my mother.
我正在休假 照顾我妈妈 She's more terrified than I am.
她比我更害怕 When do you ship out?
你什么时候出发？ In two weeks, they're sending me back to that hotbed of enemy activity.
两周后 他们会把我送回去那个敌人活动的热点地区 Bradley Beach, New Jersey.
新泽西州的布拉德利海滩 I'm teaching Morse code at the Hotel Grossman.
我在格罗斯曼酒店教摩斯密码 Bradley Beach, where enemy agents stroll the boardwalk
布拉德利海滩 那里敌方特工会乔装成穿着貂皮的大龄犹太妇女 disguised as elderly Jewish women in furs.
在海滨步道上散步 I used to play hide the sausage
我曾经和布拉德利海滩的一个女孩玩过"藏香肠"的游戏 with a girl from Bradley Beach.
是吗？ Oh, yeah?
你看过《生活》杂志上那篇关于瓜达尔卡纳尔的报道吗？ Did you read that piece in Life about Guadalcanal?
在战斗之前 Mmmm. How before the battle,
士兵们用银币打水漂 the soldiers were skipping silver dollars in the water
而不是用石头 instead of stones
因为他们知道自己再也回不来了 'cause they knew they were never coming back.
我无法参军 因为我的眼睛 I couldn't enlist. My eyes.
眼睛怎么了？因为能睁开？ What's the matter? They open?
说到那些不会回来的人 Speaking of people who are not coming back,
我希望你读读这个 I would like you to read this.
这是《天哪朱庇特》的节目单里的 It's from the By Jupiter playbill.
大声点！ Out loud!
"罗杰斯和哈特 Uh... "Rodgers and Hart,
他们就像腊肠狗和单峰驼一样截然不同 "they're as different as a dachshund and a dromedary.
一个喜欢歌剧和家庭生活 另一个喜欢夜店和社交 "One likes opera and home life, the other goes for night clubs and people.
一个已婚 有两个孩子 "One is married and has two children,
另一个单身 养活酒吧调酒师" "the other is single and supports bartenders."
不客气 艾迪 You're welcome, Eddie.
"那个小个子 拉里 喜欢抽各种雪茄 "The little fella, that's Larry, smokes cigars,
大的 黑的 小的 棕色的 什么样的都行 "big, black, small, brown, any kind.
而迪克 也就是罗杰斯 只抽香烟 "While Dick, that's Rodgers, only uses cigarettes.
一个每天凌晨四点半才上床睡觉 另一个从不消停" "One goes to bed about 4:30 every morning, the other never dissipates."
完美的动词 对吧？ Perfect verb, right? Mmm.
"尽管他们在外貌和性格上截然不同 "Despite their physical and temperamental differences, however,
然而他们的智慧却像火腿和鸡蛋一样互补 "their intellects complement each other like ham and eggs.
他们各自创作的歌曲都超过一千首" "Their individual songs number well over a thousand."
一千首？ A thousand songs?
"他们争论激烈 但从不吵架 "They disagree violently, but they never fight,
在二十多年的创作生涯中 "and in the 20odd years they've been practicing their craft,
他们从未与其他人合作过..." "they have never worked with anyone but each other..."
直到现在 Until now.
厉害 Impressive.
我自己写的 I wrote it myself.
没有一个字提到该死的《蓝月亮》 And not one single mention of Blue fucking Moon.
我把一些乐谱寄给伊丽莎白了 没有回应 我不懂 I sent Elizabeth some of my sheet music. No response. I don't get it.
因为她是个贱人 She's a bitch.
那是他们要刻在我墓碑上的话 That's what they're gonna put on my tombstone.
"她是个贱人"吗？ "洛伦兹·米尔顿·哈特 "She's a bitch"? "Lorenz Milton Hart.
他不懂" "He didn't get it."
人们会来我的墓地说 "你知道吗？ And people will come to my gravesite and say, "You know what?
我也不懂" 我绝对不懂 "I didn't get it either." I definitely didn't get it.
嘿 拉尔 我懂！ 所以听着 Hey, Larr, I get it! So, listen.
伊丽莎白和我曾共度过一个周末 真的 Elizabeth and I had a weekend. We actually did.
一个充满激情超凡脱俗的周末 就在去年夏天快结束的时候 One passionate, transcendent weekend, end of last summer
她回耶鲁之前 before she went back to Yale.
这是我这辈子最接近纯粹无私感受的时刻 It's the closest I've ever felt in my life to pure selflessness.
很微妙 很深刻 It was nuanced, it was deep.
到底有多深？ How deep exactly?
听着傻瓜 当我遇见她 Listen, clown. I met her,
对她说的第一句话是 "打扰一下 and the first thing I said to her was, "Excuse me,
你是这个剧院里最有风格的人" "but you have the best style of anyone in this theater."
我真希望我有那一刻的照片 I wish I had a photograph of that moment.
真希望我有和她在一起的每一个瞬间的照片 I wish I had a photograph of every moment I've spent with her.
我很难把这一切表达清楚 我在努力表达... I'm having trouble getting this right. I'm trying to pin down...
安迪帮帮我 该用什么词才好？ Oh, Andy, help me. What's the right word?
迷人？ Enchantment?
你知道这有多难 And you know how hard that is.
我简直不敢相信她想跟我说话 I couldn't believe that it was me she wanted to talk to.
我不停地环顾剧院 I kept looking around the theater,
心想她肯定对别人有兴趣 there must be somebody else she's interested in.
但是我错了 她径直坐到了我旁边的座位上 But no! She's plunking herself down in the theater seat right next to me,
尽量保持谦虚的距离靠近我 as close as modesty will allow.
我的心跳开始加速 And my heart is actually racing.
我从来没有过这样的感觉 不管是对男人还是女人 And I don't ever feel this way, not for men or for women.
她穿着黄色的太阳裙 But she's wearing this yellow sundress,
而剧院里又很热 and it is hot in the theater.
她和我聊了好几个小时 And she's talking to me for hours.
裸露的腿搭在扶手上 Bare leg draped over the armrest.
我知道这听起来像是个中年白痴 And I know this sounds like I'm some middleaged putz
暗恋上一个漂亮的女大学生 with a crush on a pretty coed,
也许事实就是如此 and maybe that's what it is.
但你知道吗？ But you know something?
也许不是这样的 Maybe that's not what it is.
有时候我感觉...别笑 Sometimes I feel... and don't laugh,
在一辈子盲目地与陌生人碰撞后 after a lifetime of blindly colliding into strangers,
终于找到了一个朋友 we've finally found a friend.
也许这就是"迷人"的定义 Maybe that's the definition of enchantment.
在一个充满阳光的周末！ One lightfilled weekend!
我得在她回来之前把故事讲完 I've got to finish telling you this before she comes back.
你在听我说话吗？ Are you listening to me?
是的 你说到她的腿搭在扶手上了 Yeah, she got her legs draped over the thing.
就好像我写过的所有情歌歌词 It was as if all the love lyrics I had ever written
其语言的精魄突然幻化成了人形 had, like, some sort of verbal ectoplasm, suddenly taken human form.
语言的什么？ 可能是她妈妈 Ecto what? That might be her mother.
不能让她听到这个 She cannot hear this.
那我呢？ What about me?
你只是个临时演员 You're just an extra.
好吧 但我还是有工资的 对吧？ 当然了 Okay, but I still get paid, right? Absolutely.
我必须把这件事搞定 这对我很重要 It's important to me that I nail this down.
那是个炎热的夏日周末 It was a boiling hot summer weekend,
我用尽可能假装随意的口气问她 and I asked, with all the casualness I could counterfeit,
想不想逃离城市的炎热 if she'd like to, you know, escape the heat of the city,
跟我去佛蒙特州的邓摩湖度过一个周末 spend the weekend with me on Lake Dunmore in Vermont.
她毫不犹豫地说 And without a moment's hesitation she said,
"我很乐意 拉里" "I'd love to, Larry."
我告诉你 安迪 她就是我喜欢的类型 Oh, I'm telling you, Andy, this is my type of girl.
抱歉 我在胡言乱语 I'm sorry, excuse me, I'm babbling,
你还能怎么描述坠入爱河的真实状态呢？ but how else do you describe the actual present tense of falling in love?
这就是当时的感觉吗？ Is that what this is?
也许吧 我没做错什么 好吗？ Maybe. I mean, I haven't done anything wrong, okay?
我可没违反"曼恩法案" 甚至也没违反"中年男子法案" I haven't violated the Mann Act or even the MiddleAged Man Act.
我给她买了幅邓摩湖的画 I bought her this painting of Lake Dunmore,
是从一位老练的佛蒙特渔民那里买的 bought it off this old salt Vermonter.
我买这幅画 是希望她能记得 I bought it so that she might remember.
我曾经在那附近划过一次船 I once did a little canoeing up around there.
嘿 拉里！ Hey, Larry!
然后呢？ And then?
第三幕 那天晚些时候 Act Three. Later that day,
她坐在温暖的小屋里 she's in the warmth of the cabin.
墙上挂着一面提康德罗加堡的旗帜 There's a pennant from Fort Ticonderoga pinned to the wall.
她穿着蓝色的男式工装衬衫 袖子卷了起来 She's wearing this blue men's work shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
她的一切突然都向我敞开 All of her suddenly available to me,
青春 大脑 this gift of youth and brain
还有锁骨 and clavicle.
我摸了下她的肩膀 I touched her shoulder,
就像某个俗气作家曾经写的那样 and as some hack once scribbled,
"我的心停止了跳动" "My heart stood still."
她拉着我的手说："拉里 She took my hand and said, "Larry,
我们把这个留到改天再说吧" "let's save this for another day."
我只能告诉你 我的朋友 And all I can tell you, my friend,
"改天"真有可能指的就是今天晚上 is there is a real possibility that tonight is "another day."
往后让开一点 女士们 漂亮 漂亮！ Clearing back a little bit. Ladies, beautiful, beautiful!
罗杰斯！罗杰斯！ Rodgers! Rodgers!
对 美极了！ Yeah, beautiful!
好吧 Okay.
非常感谢 谢谢 非常感谢 I appreciate that. Thanks. Hey, thank you so much.
非常感谢 谢谢 I appreciate it. Thank you.
太棒了！ Bravo!
非常感谢 Thank you so much.
现在到了今晚真正的表演时间 Now, time for the real performance of the evening.
艾迪 艾迪 艾迪 把这个拿走！ Eddie, Eddie. Eddie, get rid of this!
嘿 Hey.
那他有没有上过她？ So, did he fuck her or not?
他觉得今晚可能就会发生 He thinks tonight might be the night.
拉里 拉里 拉里 Oh... Larry. Larry, Larry.
你觉得她看上他什么了？ What do you think she sees in him?
我觉得她看上了他的钱和名气 这些能对她的事业有帮助 I think she sees a rich and famous guy who can help her career.
我想她意识到了自己 I think she recognizes she's being adored
正被一位真正懂得欣赏美的人所倾慕 by one of the great appreciators of beauty.
你知道我还想到什么吗？ 什么？ You know what else I think? Yeah?
我觉得她现在正穿着葡萄色胸罩 I think she is wearing a grapecolored brassiere.
好了 罗杰斯 先生们 我们来一起拍一张 All right, Rodgers. Gentlemen, please let's get one.
漂亮 来吧 笑一个！ Beautiful. Come on. All right, big smile!
漂亮 迪克！迪克！ Beautiful. Dick! Dick!
我的天啊！这部戏将会一直演上20年！ My God! The show is going to run 20 years!
会比《艾比的爱尔兰玫瑰》还要火！ It's going to be bigger than Abie's Irish Rose!
咱们拭目以待 而且比它更"不犹太" 这样才能巡演 We'll see. And much more goyish, so it can tour.
谢谢你能来 拉里 Well, thanks for coming, Larry.
奥斯卡！ 拉里 Oscar! Larry.
我每次见到你 都觉得你又高了 You get taller every time I see you.
我还能说什么？歌词太精彩了 What can I say? The lyrics are brilliant.
该诗意的时候诗意 该幽默的时候幽默 Poetic when they need to be poetic, funny when they need to be funny.
每一句押韵都恰到好处 听起来非常舒服 Not a rhyme out of place, easy on the ear.
灯光昏暗时 我简直是个傻瓜 I'm just a fool when lights are low
完美！你听到我鼓掌了吗？ Perfect! Did you hear me applauding?
我觉得你当时是整个剧院里最吵的人 I think you were the loudest person in the entire theater!
那是因为我比整个剧院里的任何人都喜欢它 That's because I loved it more than anyone else in the entire theater!
我给你们拿杯喝的 不了 谢谢 Let me get you boys a drink. Oh, no, thank you.
拉里 你有时间吗？ 给我们一点时间 Um... Larry, you got two minutes? Give us a minute.
失陪一下 奥斯卡 Excuse us, Oscar.
德怀特·威曼和我一直在讨论把《康涅狄格的美国佬》重新搬上舞台 Um... So, uh, Dwight Wiman and I have been talking about bringing back A Connecticut Yankee.
好极了！ Terrific!
是的 我在考虑邀请薇薇安·西格尔 Yeah, I'm thinking of asking Vivienne Segal.
天哪！它的巡演时间会比《俄克拉荷马！》还长！ Oh! Mein Gott! Oh, it's gonna run longer than Oklahoma!
我会自己订五十个座位来看演出 I'll buy 50 seats myself.
我想到一个新剧名《哦 卡美洛！》 I've got a new title, Ohh, Camelot!
我想还是保留原名《康涅狄格的美国佬》 Well, I think we're gonna stick with A Connecticut Yankee.
卡美洛加感叹号还不行吗？ Camelot Exclamation Point?
拜托 我是认真的 Okay, come on. I'm being serious here.
我一直都是认真的 这就是为什么人们觉得我这么好笑 I'm always serious. That's why people find me so funny.
所以我在想 如果你感觉有精力工作 也许... So I was thinking, if you feel up to working, then maybe...
我感觉很好 迪克 迪克 恭喜你 I've never felt better in my life, Dick. Congratulations, Dick.
我不想打扰你 我只是...我们都喜欢这部戏 I don't want to bother you. I just... We all just loved it.
是吗？ 它一定会非常火 Oh, you did? It's going to be a big hit.
谢谢 非常感谢 Oh, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate that.

三环马戏团式的音乐剧 A threering musical circus.
演出持续四个小时 中间还休息吃晚餐 The show lasts four hours with a dinner break!
这是一场宏大的喜剧 舞台布景就是整个世界 It's grand comic opera. And the stage set is the world!
我们讽刺所有人 We satirize everybody.
你可以用音乐讽刺他们 And you get to satirize them musically.
我们讽刺每个国家的陈词滥调 We send up every national musical cliche there is.
法国曲目 意大利曲目 The France number, the Italian number,
当他们演到《黑暗之心》时 when they get to the Heart of Darkness,
食人族正在表演《波吉与贝丝》 the cannibals are doing Porgy and Bess.
贝丝 你就是我的晚餐了！ Bess, you is my dinner now!
天啊 拉里 拜托 Jesus, Larry. Come on.
这部剧将拥有小说般的宏大格局 This show is going to have the scope of a novel.
它将是你作为作曲家面临过的最大挑战 It will be the greatest challenge you've ever had as a composer.
而让一切成立 让观众融入故事的 And what grounds it all, what lets the audience enter this story
是这个女孩 is the girl.
这个缥缈的女孩 是被马可·波罗抛弃的 This ethereal girl whom Marco Polo has left behind.
她只有他一半的年龄 She's half his age...
但这是他多年 甚至可能是有生以来第一次感受到那丝爱情的萌动 ...but it's the first time he's felt that inkling of love in years, maybe ever.
他在第一幕就发誓 He swears in the first scene.
就像《无事生非》里的贝尼迪克 We set this up like Benedick in Much Ado...
是的 他发誓自己不为任何女人所动 Right. He swears that he's beyond the reach of any woman.
他蔑视爱情 He scorns love.
我们还要做一整套讽刺爱情的歌曲 And we do a whole number satirizing love songs.
不 拉里 我想创作有情感核心的剧... No. Larry, I want to write shows that have some emotional core to them...

斯堪的纳维亚的外貌 左脸颊上还有两个雀斑 Scandinavianlooking with two freckles on her left cheek,
太荒谬了 别这样 it's absurd. Don't do that.
她在社交、心理和性方面的生活完全属于另一个世界 She lives socially, psychologically, sexually in another universe than he does,
而他被彻底征服了 but he is slain.
他站在那里 在她那双淡绿色眼睛的光芒下僵住了 He stands there paralyzed in the light of her pale green eyes.
他是世界历史上最伟大的探险家 This is the greatest explorer in the history of the world,
而这些对他毫无意义 除非能让她注意到自己 and none of it means anything to him unless it's a way to make her see him.
这就是故事的情感核心 That is the emotional core of the story.
好吧 我们把这个传奇般 Okay. We take this legendary,
超凡脱俗的人物 largerthanlife man,

哪怕只是一两秒 even for a second or two, he thought about it.
我们到底为什么而战呢？ And what is it we're fighting for, exactly?
身着格子布裙的活泼小女孩 谁能拒绝呢？ Feisty little girls in gingham dresses who can't say no?

他需要救援 刻不容缓 He needs rescuing, big time.
他们认得出家庭 他们认得出对国家的自豪感 They recognized, uh, family. They recognized pride in their country.
越听越像《胜利之歌》了 You're starting to sound like Yankee Doodle Dandy.
拉里 我觉得值得认出的东西 I think there's significantly more there to recognize, Larry,
可比一群唱歌的食人族多多了 than a bunch of singing cannibals.
不过食人族更好笑 承认吧 But cannibals are much funnier, admit it.

我是说马可波罗将会是一部关于欢乐的剧... I mean, Marco Polo is going to be a show about joy...

我的确创作了歌词 I did write the lyrics.
什么意思？ What is that supposed to mean?
《天哪朱庇特》 你把这事忘了吗？ By Jupiter? Have you conveniently blocked that out?
忘了什么？ Blocked what out?
我和洛根请求你多加一些合唱和歌词 How Logan and I begged you for extra choruses, extra verses,

但我不喜欢 真的不喜欢 Well I don't. I don't.
对不起 Look, I am sorry.
我不在乎有人攻击我 I don't care if somebody attacks me.
因为这对我来说毫无意义 It doesn't mean anything to me.
但没人能攻击我的作品 这是我仅有的了 But nobody can attack my work. It is all I've got.
你的作品很出色 那不是问题所在 Your work is brilliant. That's not the problem.

你知道吗 我最近开始听错歌词 You know, I've started to hear things wrong.
前几天晚上我听一位歌手唱到 The other night, I was listening to this singer go on
“她的香烟之心” about "her cigarette heart."
我想：“这是个原创的比喻 And I thought, "Now that is an original metaphor,
‘我的香烟心’ ” "'My cigarette heart.'"
然后我才意识到 她其实唱的是“我的秘密之心” Then I realized she was singing "My secret heart."
我现在也什么都记不住了 I can't remember anything anymore either.
我的自传标题应该叫 That should be the title of my autobiography,
《如果我已经告诉过你 请打断我》 "Stop Me If I've Told You This Already."
而且会把整本书的内容印两遍 And we'll print the entire text twice.
不 我是认真的 我以前见过她这么做 No, I'm serious. I've seen her do it before.
只要晚上不要再跳舞就行 As long as there's no dancing later on in the night.

我记得在佛蒙特州的时候 你喝了红酒 I remember in Vermont, you were drinking red wine.
马尔贝克葡萄酒 这是耶鲁大学的人很爱喝的酒 Malbec. It's a big Yale drink.
你点的是法式马尔贝克 然后你表现得好像 You ask for the French Malbec, and then you act
能分辨出它产自哪个酒庄 as if you can actually tell which vineyard it came from.
哦... Oh...
别在我妈妈面前提佛蒙特可以吗？ Don't mention Vermont around my mother, okay?
她对我们的短途旅行一无所知 She doesn't know anything about our little getaway.
事实上 谢天谢地 Actually, thank goodness.
她对我生活中发生的90%的事情都一无所知 She doesn't know about 90% of what's going on in my life.
我很荣幸我能知道 Well, I feel privileged that I do.
或者说 八月的时候 我是知道的 Or that I did, back in August.
从那以后 我有更多事情可以汇报 I've got much more stuff to report on since then.
跟我说说那些男生吧 我对他们最感兴趣 Well, tell me about the guys. That's what I'm interested in.
老实说 我比他们大多数人都聪明 Honestly, I'm much smarter than most of them.
所以我就坐在那里 看着他们努力想给我留下好印象 So I sort of sit back and watch them trying to impress me.
非常有趣 It's pretty entertaining.
如果我是一个男大学生的话 我想我会怕你 If I were a college guy, I think I would be afraid of you.
一个聪明又冷静 This intelligent, mercilessly observant,
毫不留情且极不感伤的美人 就坐在那里 wickedly unsentimental beauty sitting there,
从她那双绿眼睛背后审视我 evaluating me from somewhere behind those green eyes,
记录下我所有的笨拙举动 annotating all my gaucheries.
我的天 我会很害怕的 My God, I would be terrified.
嘿 我没那么吓人吧 Hey, I'm not that intimidating.
再跟我说说库珀的事 Tell me more about this Cooper.
这太难为情了 This is embarrassing.
我喜欢你难为情的样子 I love it when you're embarrassed,
你会脸红得像火一样 you get this scarlet blush that washes up over you,
然后一瞬间就消失了 and a second later it's gone.
这一次可能会持续很久 This one might last considerably longer.
我很想... 伊丽莎白 你好 拉里 I'd love to... Elizabeth. Hello, Larry.
希望我没有打扰到什么重要的事情 I hope I'm not interrupting anything too weighty.
重要的事得等一等 Well, weighty affairs will have to wait.
她是个宝石 不是吗？ She's a gem, isn't she?
别闹了 汉默斯坦先生 Please, Mr. Hammerstein.
我只会打扰你们一小会儿 I'll only bother you for a moment.
拉里 我只是想跟你说... Larry, I just wanted to say...
首先 我知道今晚对你来说一定很难 Well, firstly, I recognize this must be a difficult night for you.
不用 我是专业的 奥斯卡 我们都是专业人士 No, I'm a professional, Oscar. We're both professionals,
我们理解我们的工作性质 we understand the nature of our business.
拉里 你真的喜欢这个演出吗？ 我觉得我的喜剧作品 Larry, did you really like the show? I don't think I do the comedy numbers
不如你一半好 那不是我的强项 half as well as you do. They're not my strength.
我笑得屁股都掉了 还得重新接上 I laughed my ass off. I had to have it reattached.
拉里 虽然我们是同龄人 但是在我心里你一直都是导师 Larry, we're the same age, but you were always the teacher.
不 奥斯卡 我... 不 你的整个职业生涯 No, Oscar. I... No, your whole career,
你为我们指明了方向 我怀疑这点... you showed us the way. Well, I doubt...
你解放了我们所有人 You liberated us all.
你终于让美国歌曲听起来像美国人平常说话一样自然了 You made American songs finally sound like American speech.
别说了 我不喜欢悼词 尤其是我自己的悼词 Stop. I dislike eulogies, especially my own.
奥斯卡 今晚是你的夜晚 Oscar, tonight is your night.
你和迪克的成功 是我们所有人的成功 A hit for you and Dick is a hit for all of us.
人们终于又想去看演出了 People finally want to go see shows again.
真正的演出 刚才我和迪克还聊了几个想法 Real shows. Dick and I were just tossing around a few ideas.
太好了 是的 我们想做一个大型的... Wonderful. Yeah, we have this idea for a big...
马可·波罗的演出...超大的 有点像音乐马戏团 Marco Polo show... huge... a kind of musical circus.
迪克对此很有兴趣 Dick's excited about it.
他说你们正在改编《利力姆》 He said you're adapting Liliom.
嗯 前提是我们得能搞到版权 Well, if we can finagle the rights.
听起来很令人兴奋 Sounds exciting.
伊丽莎白告诉我她是你的门徒 别说了 Elizabeth told me she's your protégé. Stop.
“她是春天的期盼之吻 让孤独的冬天显得漫长” "She's the promised kiss of springtime that makes the lonely winter seem long."
求你了 Oh, please.
你的歌词写的很棒 上映不到三个月的演出 You wrote a great lyric. For a show that didn't run three months.
我看了两次 你... I saw it twice. You...
你知道我们在说什么吗 史蒂夫？ You know what we're talking about here, Stevie?

很高兴认识你 很高兴认识你 Nice to meet you. Pleasure to meet you.
他想长大后从事音乐剧创作 He wants to write musicals when he grows up.
你最喜欢的作词人是谁？ Who's your favorite lyricist?
奥斯卡 Oscar.
当然 你觉得我的作品怎么样？ Of course. And what do you think of my work?
我喜欢 很好笑 I like it. It's funny.
谢谢 Thank you.
但是有时候会有点草率 Can be a little sloppy at times.
他很累了 今天过得很漫长 He's very tired. It's been a long day.
走吧 史蒂夫 回多伊尔斯镇的路还很长 Come on, Stevie. It's a long ride back to Doylestown.
你想去厕所吗？ 我不累 You want to go to the bathroom? I'm not tired.
他问我对他的作品有什么看法 He asked me what I thought of his work.
“重要的事只能等一等了”？ "Weighty affairs will just have to wait"?
我很后悔没有孩子 I so regret not having children.
库珀 Cooper.

你要记住 我暗恋这个男生已经有一年多了 You have to remember, I've had a hopeless crush on this guy for over a year.
并且毫无希望 and hopeless.
拿着酒 跟我来 Hold this. Come here.
蕾妮 能给我五分钟的隐私时间吗？ Renee, may I buy five minutes of privacy, please?
拉里 你干什么都行 Anything for you, Larry.
谢谢 Thank you.

所以基本上 他背上的皮肤 So, basically, the skin on his back
完美无瑕 别说了 was flawless... Stop.
说说你生日那天晚上吧 把一切都告诉我 It's the night of your birthday. Tell me everything.
我和一群朋友要去... 男的还是女的？ A group of my friends are taking... Boyfriends, girlfriends?
男女都有 好的 Mixed. Okay.
拜托 拉里 我是个女大学生 Come on, Larry, I'm a college lady.
所以他们要带我去莫里俱乐部 严格来说那里不准女人进入 So they're taking me to Mory's, which is technically no women allowed,
但他们会把我们从后楼梯偷偷带上去 就像走私香气四溢的违禁品一样 but they smuggle us up those backstairs like so much heavilyscented contraband,
当然 一个女孩还带了她的约会对象 and, of course, one of the girls has brought along her date.
库珀？ Cooper?
这既折磨我又让我兴奋 Which is both destroying me and exhilarating me.
我是说他在那里 就在我身边 I mean, he's there. Near me.
夜色渐晚 The evening is getting late,
空酒瓶堆满桌子 empty wine bottles are filling up the table.
我们当中一半人还没成年 Half of us are underage,
却跟服务生大胆调情 根本没人管 but we're flirting so shamelessly with the waiter that nobody seems to care.
喝着你的法式马尔贝克酒 没错 Drinking your French Malbec. Exactly.
我一向是个好学生 I'm nothing if not a good student.
所以人人都爱你 拉里 你是我见过最专注的聆听者 That's why everybody loves you, Larry. You're the best listener I ever met.
那是因为我对自己毫无兴趣 That's because I have absolutely no interest in myself whatsoever.
继续说你那荒唐的故事吧 Back to your tale of natal debauchery.
空酒瓶堆满桌子... Empty wine bottles filling the table...
当时很晚了 So it's late.
所以玛乔丽... 是和库珀一起来的那个女孩吗？ And Marjorie... The girl who came with Cooper?
她要回家学习了 She's left to go home and study.
啊... Aww...
大家一个接一个踉踉跄跄地走出去 People are staggering out one by one.
已经是午夜 It's midnight.
我发现自己坐在他旁边 And I find myself sitting right next to him.
慢慢来 Take your time.
你知道吗 世界上我最想待的地方 You know, there's no place else on earth I'd rather be
就是和你一起坐在这儿 than sitting right here with you.
你收到我的信了吗？ 今晚我家有个派对 Oh, did you get my letter? There's a party at my place tonight.
我想留在这里帮我妈妈... Oh, I think I've got to stay here and help my mother...
派对很晚才开始 It's not getting started till late.
你会有充足的时间在这里工作 You'll have plenty of time to work the room here.
我邀请了金门四重唱乐队来表演 答应我你会来 I've got the Golden Gate Quartet showing up. Promise me you'll come.
中央公园西街320号 320 Central Park West.
你不是说过想做舞美和服装吗？ You said you wanted to design sets and costumes,
纽约剧场里的人都会参加派对 everybody in New York theater is gonna be there.
好了 回到库珀的话题 Okay, back to Cooper.
好的 Okay.
我们一起离开莫里俱乐部 We leave Mory's together.
十一月的夜晚完美极了 天上挂着一小弯月牙 It's a perfect November night. A fingernail clipping of a moon.
他搂着我 我们都有点醉了 He's got his arm around me. We're both a little drunk,
跌跌撞撞地靠在彼此怀里 stumbling in and out of each other's arms.
他穿着红绿格子的法兰绒衬衫 袖子挽起来了 He's wearing this red and green flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
就好像你从没在意过 Not that you noticed.
他真的很迷人！ He's looking good!
你呢？ And you?
那天是我的生日 It's my birthday, right?
我应该看起来也很迷人 很美味 I'm supposed to be looking good. Tasty.
然后我靠在那件法兰绒工装衬衫上 So I'm leaning against that flannel work shirt,
我跟你说 and I'm telling you,
我能闻到他身上的男性气息 I can smell the maleness coming off of him.
我当时心想 那个巨大的紫色字母仿佛能点亮整个夜空 I remember thinking that huge purple letters should have lit up the sky...
“欲望” 好吧 "Desire." Okay.
稍等一下 Hold on one second.
我得去找点冰水倒进裤子里 I have to go find some icewater and pour it down my trousers.
你可能还需要多加点冰 You may need some extra ice.
我们最后去了他兄弟会的地下室 We end up in the basement of his fraternity,
一个破旧不堪的小酒吧 in this tawdry sort of derelict bar.
天晓得这里曾发生多少堕落的故事 God only knows how many acts of depravity have taken place down there.
现在又要添上新一笔 And here comes one more.
是的 Oh, yeah.
我注意到这家伙整整一年了 So I've been watching this guy for a year,
做梦都会梦见他 而现在梦想成真了 dreaming about him, and now, here it is.
我的生日之夜 The night of my birthday,
唯一的光源来自一盏暗暗的小灯 the only light is coming from this dim little lamp
灯罩上印着马和骑手 with horses and jockeys printed on the shade.
说真的 拉里 一个女孩该怎么做呢？ I mean, really, Larry, what's a girl to do?
生日快乐！ Happy birthday!
他开始脱衣服 He begins to take off his clothes.
你真的想听这个吗？ You really want to hear this?
我有点感兴趣 Uh, I'm mildly interested.
说出来有点丢人 It's humiliating.
因为其实什么都没发生 'Cause basically nothing happened.
什么都没发生？ Nothing?
就像你和我在湖边小屋一样？ Like you and me at the lake house?
不一样 No.
那是我们深思熟虑的决定对吗？ That was a deliberate decision we made, right?
基于什么？理性？ 我是说像你和我一样的理性 Based on what? Rationality? I mean, as rational as you and I ever get.
但是这个... But this...
这个是因为他戴不上安全套 This was based on the fact that he couldn't get the rubber on.
不是吧 Oh, no.
他试过了 He tried.
试了又试 不会吧 He tried again. No.
我也试过了 别说了 I tried. Oh, stop.
感觉就像过了10个小时那么久 It felt like 10 hours.
我很抱歉 Oh, I'm sorry.
你知道最糟糕的是什么吗？ And you know what the worst part was?
他完全不在状态 你懂吗？ He just wasn't there, you know?
他一直喃喃自语说是因为喝了酒 He kept mumbling that it was, um, the wine.
那个... That, um...
避孕套太小了 信不信由你 ...the rubber was too small, if you can believe that.
这段时间我明白一件事 And this whole time what's clear to me
他只是...不够... is that he just... hasn't sufficiently...
我不知道该用什么词来形容 也许... I don't know what the right word is. Maybe...
"他不够爱你"最合适 "hejustdoesn'tloveyouenough" is the right word.
我的意思是 这种情况是无解的 对吧？ I mean, there's no way around that one, is there?
当一个女孩全心全意爱着一个男孩 When the girl loves the guy with all of her heart,
可他却不回应她的感情 and he just doesn't return her feeling?
你知道那是什么感觉吗？ Do you have any idea what that feels like?
"没有人曾如此爱过我" "Nobody ever loved me that much."
我带着一整年的崇拜走进那个地下室 I brought into that basement a year's worth of adoration,
研究他的照片 yeah, studying his photograph,
记住他的电话号码 memorizing his phone number.
然后这个半醉的三年级生 And there he was, this halfdrunk junior
连假装爱我都做不到... who couldn't even pretend to love me...
其实我并不会介意这点 哪怕有... And... I wouldn't have minded if there'd been...
一点...激情 some... passion underneath.
或者哪怕一点同情心都行 Or even empathy.
但什么都没有 There was nothing.
只有...那盏印着马的灯 Just... that lamp with the horses on it.
你值得拥有更好的 You deserve so much better.
是的 Yeah.
第二天早上我问了室友 I asked my roommate about it the next morning,
女孩子之间聊聊 you know, girl to girl.
她说男人有时候不能"表现"是因为太紧张 She said that men sometimes can't perform because they're too nervous.
我希望我能相信这一点 让自己感觉好一点 I wish I could believe that to feel a little bit better about myself.
但是... But...
他并不紧张 一点也不 ...he was not nervous. Not in the least.
他闭上了眼睛 He had his eyes shut.
好像在试着把我想象成他真正想要的人 As if he were trying to dream me into somebody he really wanted.
我觉得自己很愚蠢 I felt stupid.
我觉得自己很卑微 I felt debased.
我气自己 竟然任由他 I felt furious at myself that I could allow him
把我逼到觉得自己一无是处 to make me feel so worthless.
我们做了一些别的尝试 We tried a few creative alternatives.
不是吧 Oh, no.
情况越来越糟糕 It got uglier and uglier.
最后他说："伊丽莎白 我欠你一次补偿" Finally, he said, "Elizabeth, I owe you a rain check."
那... And that...
那就是我的20岁生日 That was my 20th birthday.
讲完了 Tada.
天啊 Jesus wept.
但情况更糟了 But it gets worse.
我觉得我接受不了 I don't think I can take it.
好吧 我能接受 Okay, I can take it.
但请用一种不会让我感到羞愧的方式告诉我 But just tell me in a way that doesn't make me ashamed to be a human being.
这很难 That's going to be difficult.
大约一周后 About a week later...
大家都回家过感恩节 ...everybody's leaving for Thanksgiving.
他给我打电话 问我是否想和他共进晚餐？ He gives me a call. Would I like to have dinner with him?
你了解我 没有自尊可言 You know me. No pride.
我说"好" 然后再次走向他的兄弟会 I say, "Sure," and make my way over to his fraternity again,
它在一棵巨大的银杏树下 which sits under this huge gingko tree.
树叶已经黄了 The leaves have turned yellow,
树干被雨水打得发黑 the trunk of the tree is black from the rain.
我心想这是我见过最美的景象 I'm thinking this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
我记得我对自己说 I remember saying to myself,
"上帝给了你第二次机会" "God is giving you a second chance."
我们去他的房间 We go up to his room,
他的室友已经去度假了 his roommate has already left for the holiday.
门被关上 The door clicks shut,
突然... and suddenly...
晚餐的话题戛然而止 there's no more discussion about dinner.
补偿兑现！ Rain check cashed!
而且格外彻底 In spades.
突然之间情欲爆发 I mean, it's suddenly pouring.
我们撕扯着彼此的衣物 We're practically tearing each other's clothes off.
没有对话 There is no conversation.
这次... And this time...
没有困难 there is no difficulty.
第一次没有 第二次也没有 Not the first time. Not the second time.
别说了 Stop it.
他跟我说 "迟到的生日快乐 伊丽莎白" He says to me, "Happy belated birthday, Elizabeth."
想听这个荒唐小故事的结局吗？ And you want to hear the unbelievable ending to this sordid little story?
那是我最后一次见到他 That was the last time I saw him.
那是11月份 4个月前 That was November. Over four months ago.
我本以为他一定会打电话 哪怕只是为了再次发生关系 对吧？ I was absolutely sure he'd call. If only to have sex again, right?
没有 再也没有 No. Never.
我以为他会写信 I thought he'd write.
没有 No.
所以我给他打电话 So I call him, of course.
他恨不得马上挂掉电话 He couldn't get off the phone fast enough.
所以我给他写信 So I wrote to him.
一封四页纸的信 单行间隔 不 A fourpage typed letter. Singlespaced. Oh, no.
没有任何回应 No response.
我告诉自己 那就像发烧后做的梦 你懂吗？ I tell myself it was like a fever dream, you know?
也许发烧终于退了 And maybe the fever finally broke.
这一切听起来都很理智和合理 And it all sounds sane and sensible.
但你知道吗？ But you know something?
如果他现在给我打电话 If he called me right now, right this very second,
我会放下生命中的一切 I'd drop everything in my life and...
开3个小时甚至30个小时的车 只为再与他共度一夜 drive three hours, drive 30 hours just to spend one more night with him.
我到底怎么了 拉里？ What is the matter with me, Larry?
你为什么要开30个小时的车去见一个那样对你的人？ Why would you drive 30 hours to see someone who treated you like that?
因为我爱上他了？ Because I'm in love with him?
是吗？ You are?
毫无逻辑 痴迷难控 令人可悲 It's illogical. Obsessional. Pathetic.
这不是我第一次遇到这种事 And this is not the first time this has happened to me.
它一直发生在我身上 It keeps happening to me.
我觉得我无法看清一个人 I feel like I can't see people clearly.
几年前我写过一首歌 I wrote a song once, years ago,
叫做《心比眼快》 called The Heart is Quicker Than the Eye.
虽然不是一首好歌 但是名字很好听 It's not a great song, but it's a good title.
这是真的 And it's true, I think.
爱情的疯狂与理智无关 The head has nothing to do with the madness of love.
还有... And...
值不值得根本无关紧要，对吧？ It doesn't matter at all about worthiness, does it?
我们把真心投资在毫无价值的东西上 We invest our hearts in worthless stocks.
明知道它们毫无价值 And we know they're worthless.
但我们依然紧抓不放，就像小孩子抱着心爱的小熊玩偶 But we cling to them like little children clutching their little stuffed bears.
伊丽莎白 Oh, Elizabeth.
说实话吧 Tell me truthfully.
你对我感觉如何？ How do you feel about me?
你是什么意思？ How do you mean?
我是说 I mean,
在湖边小屋，灯光映在水面上 at the lake house, with the light burning off the water,
我们聊了半夜 we talked through half the night,
我摸了你的肩膀... and I touched your shoulder...
那晚你有一点爱上过我吗？ Did you actually love me a little bit that night?
你知道我爱你，拉里 You know I love you, Larry.
真的吗？ You do?
只是...不是那种爱 Just... not that way.
你说你会开30个小时去见库珀 You said you'd drive 30 hours to see Cooper.
你会开多少个小时来见我？ How many hours would you drive to see me?
我的手在发抖 Oh. My hands are shaking.
我对你有一种更明智更深沉的情感 I feel something wiser and deeper for you.
尊重 谢谢 Respect Thank you.
感谢你对我的慷慨和无私 Gratitude for the generosity and selflessness you've shown me.
没有人比你更关心我的生活 No one has ever been more interested in my life than you have.
我不配拥有你这样的朋友，我非常感激你 I don't deserve a friendship like yours. I am so grateful for you.
我会永远感激你 I will be grateful forever.
我也很感激你，是你让我重新振作 I'm grateful to you, too, for resurrecting me.
别说了 Stop.
拉里！外面有人 Larry! There's people out here.
等一下！ One second!
我能问你一件事吗？ Can I ask you something?
可能太私密了，我一直不好意思问 Something that's probably too personal for me to ask?
我唯一感兴趣的就是那些太私密的事 Too personal is the only thing that I'm interested in.
我妈妈... Uh... My mother...
她在剧团工作，认识所有人 You know, she works for the Guild, she knows everybody.
所以她看到了我们去年夏天在一起 So she saw us spending time together last summer...
我知道接下来会发生什么了 I see where this is headed.
她对我说...我不...我不知道该怎么说 She said to me... I don't... I don't know how to say this.
你就直说吧 Just say it.
好吧 Okay.
她不止一次对我说 She said to me, more than once,
"伊丽莎白，他不仅年龄比你大一倍 "Elizabeth, not only is he twice your age,
而且我觉得他真正的兴趣并不在女人身上" "but I don't think his primary interest is women."
你怎么说的？ What did you say?
我说："听着，妈妈，我很清楚我知道什么 I said, "Look, Mother, I know what I know.
我也知道我们俩的感受" "And I know what we're both feeling."
我们俩的感受是什么？ Mmmhmm. What are we both feeling?
"非理性崇拜"？ "Irrational adoration?"
我想说的是，你妈以为她了解我真正的兴趣吗？ And what may I ask does your mother think she knows of my primary interest?
对不起，我不应该说这件事 I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.
请原谅我 Please forgive me.
敬我们所有人的母亲，愿她们仁慈地保持沉默 To all our mothers. May they remain mercifully silent.
我向你道歉，我这么问太愚蠢了 I apologize. That was stupid of me to have asked.
我很清楚我知道什么，也清楚我的感受 And I do know what I know, and what I feel.
你就这么告诉你妈 Here's what you tell that mother of yours,
当她坐在火旁 as she sits by the fire,
渴望地数着从《俄克拉荷马！》获得的版税时 wistfully counting up her royalties from Oklahoma!
告诉她，拉里·哈特被美丽迷住了 You tell her that Larry Hart is drunk with beauty.
记住把"迷住"这个词用斜体强调 And italicize the word "drunk."
无论在哪里，他都会被美丽迷住 Drunk with beauty, wherever he finds it.
在男人身上，在女人身上，在雪茄店的味道里 In men, in women, in the smell of cigar stores,
在一个20岁诗人的不可思议的美丽里 in the impossible beauty of a 20yearold poet
她有浅绿色的眼睛，左脸颊上有两个小雀斑 with pale green eyes and two tiny freckles on her left cheek.
你没事吧？ Are you all right?
这是..."我的香烟之心" It's... my cigarette heart.
拉里，迪克·罗杰斯在找他的外套 Larry, Dick Rodgers is looking for his coat.

我真的受宠若惊 I'm flattered.
我怎么没看到桃乐丝，你...你妻子在这吗？ I haven't seen Dorothy around. Is... Is... Is your wife here?
不在，她回公寓了，我们稍后会在那里碰头 No, she's headed back to the apartment. We're all going to meet up there
一起看晚间评论，拉里 to look at the late reviews, Larry.
我希望你能加入我们，伊丽莎白 Yeah, so I'd love for you to join us, Elizabeth.
有个年轻一代的人在我们中间，会让人耳目一新 It would be refreshing to have someone of the younger generation amongst us.
伊丽莎白，也许你可以向我解释 And maybe you can explain to me, Elizabeth,
为什么年轻女孩会为辛纳屈尖叫 why exactly the young girls scream over Sinatra.
我不会为辛纳屈尖叫 I don't scream over Sinatra.
不，她会在辛纳屈下面尖叫 No, she screams under Sinatra.
好了，拉里！ Okay, Larry!
拉里，当然也欢迎你来 Larry, of course, you're welcome to come.
我会尽量去，我在我家办个小型派对 Oh, I'm going to try to make it, I'm just throwing a little soirée over at my place.
邀请了金门四重唱乐队... I've got the Golden Gate Quartet coming...
我无法在派对上和拉里竞争 Well, I can't compete with Larry in the soirée department.
我很想过去一趟 是吗？ I'd love to stop over. You would?

她很迷人 She's really striking.
你...你和她... Are you... Are you and she...
不，我的意思是我爱她 Oh, no, no. I mean, I'm in love with her,

好吧 Okay.

当然 Absolutely.
谢谢你所做的一切 Thank you for everything.
罗杰斯先生 Mr. Rodgers.
韦兰德小姐 Miss Weiland.
谢谢 Thank you.
回头见，拉里 And we'll see you later, Larry, right?
"心里有一首歌，我凝视你可爱的脸！" "With a song in my heart, I behold your adorable face!"
你有没有遇到过这样的人，一见就知道 You ever meet someone, and you know instantly
彼此的生活会彻底改变 that both your lives are going to be irretrievably altered?
果然如我所料，你是个多愁善感的人 Just as I suspected. You are a sentimentalist.
你什么时候下班？ When do you get off work?
我得把这里锁好 I got to lock this joint up.
你呢，指关节，你完事了对吗？ Ah, what about you, Knuckles, you're done here, right?
还没有 Not yet.
因为我今晚要在我家开一个盛大的派对 Oh, 'cause I am throwing an enormous party at my place tonight.
我忘了把礼物给她 I forgot to give her the presents.
最近我穿袖子总是很费劲 I'm having such trouble with sleeves recently.
我的肩膀有关节炎 I have arthritis in this shoulder.
我得开始穿斗篷了 I'm going to have to start wearing a cloak.
我是认真的，我要凭一己之力让斗篷重新流行 I mean it. Singlehandedly, I'm going to bring back the cloak.
你会在开幕之夜看到我 You're going to see me on opening nights with a top hat
戴着高顶礼帽，穿着斗篷，拿着银头手杖穿过迷雾 and a cloak, flitting through the fog with a silvertipped cane.
你们今晚会来，对吧？ You boys are coming tonight, right?
她一定会来，我跟你说，她会来的 She's going to be there. I'm telling you, she will.
她会迟到 She'll arrive late.
听好了，这才是最特别的地方 And get this, 'cause this is the remarkable part,
可能是凌晨5点 sometime late, maybe around 5:00 a.m.,
喝了太多的马尔贝克后 after a little too much Malbec,
她会转过头对我说 she's going to turn to me and say,
"嘿，拉里，你在看什么书？ "Hey, Larry, what are you reading?
嘿，拉里，你生日是什么时候？" "Hey, Larry, when's your birthday?"
这是她这辈子第一次 For the first time in her life,
会对我感兴趣 she's going to be interested in me.
总得有那么一次吧？ It has to happen sometime, right?
所有其他男人都让她失望了 All the other guys have disappointed her.
但我绝不会，我只是... But I never will. I'm just...
深夜里拉里的轻轻触摸 a little touch of Larry in the night.
指关节，来点旅行音乐 Knuckles. Some travelin' music.
蓝月亮 Blue moon
你看见我孤独站立 You saw me standing alone
聪明的家伙 Wise guy.
我的心里没有梦想 Without a dream in my heart
没有自己的挚爱 Without a love of my own
好吧，这比他妈的《带流苏顶篷的马车》好听多了 Well, it's a helluva lot better than The Surrey With the Fucking Fringe On Top.
拉里，你要和我们一起进城去迪克那儿吗？ Larry, you coming uptown to Dick's with us?
不了，你们先去吧，我一会儿再过去 Oh, no, you go on ahead, I'll be up there later.
你明白我去那里的原因 You knew just what I was there for
听到我虔诚的祈祷 You heard me saying a prayer for
为一个我真心在乎的人 Someone I really could care for
还不错，三个柔和押韵，而且都很合理 That's not bad. Triple feminine rhymes, and they all make sense.
然后你突然出现在我面前 And then suddenly you appeared before me
唯一我会紧拥的人 The only one my arms will ever hold
我听见有人轻声低语 And I heard somebody whisper
"请爱我" Please adore me
当我抬头看时，月亮变成了金色 And when I looked The moon had turned to gold
蓝月亮 Blue moon
拉里，我觉得这是一段美好友谊的开始 Larry, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
"这不是很浪漫吗？" "Isn't it romantic?"
不太浪漫 Not really, no.
它甚至不该叫作《蓝月亮》 You know, it wasn't even supposed to be called Blue Moon.
它应该叫《人心皆恶》 I called it The Bad in Every Man.
这首歌是我们为《男人世界》这部电影创作的 We wrote it for this movie, Manhattan Melodrama.
杰克·罗宾，原名"拉宾诺维茨"，他在米高梅改了名字 Jack Robbins, formerly "Rabinowitz," he had his name circumcised over at MGM,
听到这首歌后，把我们叫到办公室 he hears the song, he calls us into his office,
他放下了熏牛肉说 he lowers his pastrami, says...
"迪克，我喜欢这旋律 "Dick, I love the melody.
和你写过的任何作品一样风格强烈 "Strong as anything you've ever written.
但是，拉里，这歌词太文艺了 "But, Larry, those words, they're too artsyfartsy!
对我来说一点也不文艺，我知道你们有多么出色 "They're not too artsyfartsy for me. I know how brilliant you guys are.
但你们得写给黑暗里的笨蛋听 "But you have to write for the schmucks in the dark.
没人会唱这歌词的" "Nobody's going to sing that lyric."
所以我说："有什么问题？" So I said, "What's wrong with it?"
他说："我甚至记不住那该死的标题！ He said... "I can't even remember the fucking title!
小伙子们，给我个好宣传的标题吧" "Boys, give me something I can promote."
于是我说："你想让我给它起什么名字？" So I say, "What do you want me to call it?"
《蓝月亮》？ Blue Moon?
罗杰斯和汉默斯坦后来成为美国音乐剧史上最成功的词曲团队
事实上，劳伦兹·哈特为《康涅狄格的美国佬》复排版贡献了五首新歌
之后被发现在第八大道附近的路边坐着醉酒昏迷，瘫痪在雨中
四天后，他在医生医院的空袭停电期间去世
创作灵感来源于洛伦兹·哈特与伊丽莎白·韦兰德的书信
