我們是可以在《名利場》裏面 寫一篇文章，但是… I mean, we can do a chapter in Vanity Fair, but...
我知道已經過了十年了 I-I know it's been 10 years.
我沒有忘記書是什麼 I haven't forgotten what a book is.

好嗎？ A-All right?
聽我說，呃… Look, um...
好，我再打給你 Yeah, I gotta call you back.

「戰俘都營養不良 "The P.O.Ws are malnourished,

他們的血好苦 Their blood is bitter.
飲用時甚至讓你作嘔」 It almost makes you feel sick to drink it."
阿姨叫我留在原地，不要靠近門 Auntie told me to stay put and keep away from the door.
我盡量聽話，留在原地 I tried to be good and stay right where I was.
等阿姨回來的時候 But when Auntie came back,
她被困在另外一邊 把火勢也一起帶過去了 she got stuck on the other side and brought the fire back with her.
我閉上眼睛，等待火勢也把我帶走 I closed my eyes and waited for the fire to take me, too.
一心祈禱不會太痛 I just prayed it wouldn't hurt too bad.
黑天使就在這時候出現了 That's when the Black angel came.
他好漂亮、強壯又敏捷 He was beautiful and strong and fast,
他抱著我，彷彿我是羽毛做成的一樣 and he carried me like I was made of feathers.
幫我！ Help me!
給我一些水！ Gimme some water!
黑天使帶我到一間 有金色天花板的豪華宅邸 The Black angel took me to a fine house with gold ceilings,
像畫中看到的那種一樣 like the ones in the picture houses.
就在這時，我猜測我應該在天堂 And that's when I guessed I was in Heaven.
所以我等著疼痛退去，等著媽媽來找我 So, I waited for the pain to go away and my mama to join me.
但她沒有來，而且疼痛加劇了 But she didn't come, and the pain got worse.
黑天使在哭 The Black angel was crying.
她變冷了，怎麼辦？ She goin' cold. What do we do?
沒有怎麼辦 Nothing.
我們什麼都不做 We do nothing.
我記得我當時在想… And I remember thinking...
她要死了 She's dying.
「為什麼天使會在天堂哭泣？」 "Why would an angel cry in Heaven?"
會跟人類更糾纏不清 More human entanglement.
接著，我看到了白天使 And then, I saw the white angel.
吸她 Drain her.
她只是個孩子 She's only a kid.
法文 (Speaking French)
不，拜託 No, please.
拜託！ Please!
我不知道要咬哪裏 I don't know where to bite.
她全身都燒黑了 Her body's all charred.
你知道你做得到 You know you can do this.
然後她會變什麼？ And she'll be what?
寵物狗嗎？ A lap dog?
不，不是…不是狗 No, not... not a dog.
變女兒 A daughter.
我…我不知道 I-I-I don't know.
你本來還打算拋棄我們的家 You were ready to abandon our home.
現在你又想要第三個成員 Now you want a third.
我…我只是不要她死而已 I-I just need her not to die.
拜託 Please.
白天使 The white angel,
他咬了我 he bit me,
咬了脖子，我心想 right in the neck, and I thought,
「天使這樣還真奇怪」 "What a strange thing for an angel to do."
接著，我嘗到了 And then, I tasted it.
我立刻感覺自己像電車一樣強而有力 And right away, I felt strong as a street car.
夠了！ Enough!
我瞭解到 And I realized,
我以為的天堂就只是一間豪華房間而已 what I thought was Heaven was just some nice room.
我以為的天使其實是地獄惡魔 And what I thought were angels were really hell demons.
但看到媽媽死去 But seeing as Mama died,
還有阿姨，她也被燒成灰燼了 and Auntie, she was burnt up too,
我決定充分利用這個狀況 I decided to make the best of it.
你有一些可以讓我喝嗎？ You got some of your own I can have?
你…你還想再喝？ Y-You want more?
我馬上就有很多問題想問 Right away, I had a lot of questions.
所以這是我的新家嗎？ So, this is my new house?
如果你想的話 It is if you want it to be.
這是我的噴泉嗎？ This is my fountain?
那是我的… That's my...
那是什麼？ What is that?
嗯，那是焚化爐，用來燒… Well, that's the incinerator where we burn the...
我們很快會解釋給你聽 We'll get to that soon enough.
那你是在哪裏找到我的？ So where'd you find me?
我的舊家嗎？ At my old house?
我聽到你的求救聲 I heard your cry for help.
我們… We...
我們聽得到別人的思緒 We can hear people's thoughts.
什麼？ What?
對 Mm-hmm.
是真的 It's true.
證明給我看 Prove it.
我現在在想什麼？ What am I thinking now?
我無法，我是你的造物者 Well, I can't. I'm your maker.
你在想你的指甲會不會也永遠變那樣 You're wonderin' if your nails will be like that forever,
答案是會 and the answer is yes.
這是一個特別的能力 只有我們這種人有 It's a special trick, only folks like us have,
指甲跟牙齒也一樣 like the nails and the teeth.
所以，你聽得到我，但他不行？ So, you can hear me, but he can't?
所以他只能當局外人？ That make him the dumb one?
什麼事這麼好笑？ What's funny?
如果他創造了你 If he makes you,
他就再也聽不到你的思緒了 he can't hear your thoughts anymore.
是什麼創造所作的犧牲 Somethin' about the sacrifice of creation.
他也創造了你嗎？ Did he make you, too?
對 He did.
她在說什麼？ What's she saying?
他只能靠著我的話語來瞭解我 He has to rely on my words to understand me,
跟人類一樣 just like a human.
我已經不是人類了，對嗎？ I'm not human no more, am I?
對 No,
你是吸血鬼 you're a vampire.
我知道你們在做什麼 Well, I can see where this is going.
你好啊 Bonjour.
你是怎麼做到的？ How'd you do that?
你遲早也會的，我的小乳草 Well, you'll do it too, in time, my little milkweed.
我會教你 I'll teach you,
就像我教了這位路易一樣 just like I taught Louis here.
但如果要對家人有所隱瞞就不行 But not if we're going to have family secrets.
我們是家人嗎？ We're a family?
對 Yeah,

好 All right.
那那個是什麼？ So, what's that for?
是我們焚燒屍體的地方 That's where we burn bodies.

所以，我要殺他嗎？ So, I'm supposed to kill him?
可以不用 You don't have to.
還有鳥跟野獸可以吃 There's always the birds and the beasts.

我不太確定我喜不喜歡那百褶裙 I'm not sure how I feel about that pleated skirt.

明天再多吃一點，好嗎？ More tomorrow, okay?

裝模作樣 Histrionics.
她只是需要一點睡眠而已 Some sleep is what she needs.
鎮靜劑才是她需要的 Sedation is what she needs.
她會習慣的 She'll settle.

克勞蒂亞！ Claudia!
來了！ Comin'!
天啊，省省好吧 Geez Louise, mercy please.

-拜託可以買這個嗎？-我覺得你們兩位男士… -Can I get this one, please? -I think you two gentlemen...
-拜託！可以嗎？-應該要離開… -Please? Can I? -ought to leave...
一個吸血鬼女孩如果想在這個 A girl vampire needs her own space
不見天日的世界認識自己 她就需要自己的空間 if she's gonna find herself in this no-day world.
還有日記，很明顯地 And, diary, you can already tell,
當你被關緊緊、被包裹在粉紅色緞子裏 the words come easier when you're locked in tight,
而且路易爸爸的腳不在你臉旁時 比較容易文思泉涌 wrapped in pink satin and Daddy Lou's feet ain't in your face.
整個世界只有我、我的筆 我的腦袋、我的心 It's just me, my pen, my brain, my heart,

黎斯叔叔有秘密 Uncle Les got secrets.
你怎麼知道？ How you figure?
他都不好好回答問題 He don't give good answers to questions,
一屁股坐在事實上面 好像那是他的椅子或什麼的 sits on the truth like it's his chair or somethin'.
我以為我們不能有秘密 I thought we weren't supposed to keep secrets.
黎斯特比我們多了幾年經歷 Les got a few years on us.
有時候 Sometimes,
年紀大的人不太喜歡講以前的事 old people don't like talkin' much about the past.
有時候 Sometimes,

我不知道 I don't know.
感覺就像愛情 Works like love.
你有喜歡過女生嗎？ You ever liked girls?
以前喜歡 I used to.
嗯 Uh,
我假裝喜歡 I used to pretend to.
現在就沒有了 Can't say I do anymore.
黎斯叔叔有時候會喜歡 Uncle Les does, sometimes.
他自己出去的時候就是因為這樣嗎？ Is that what he's up to when he goes out alone?
不是，他是，嗯… Nah, he is, um...
有時候，他的獵殺會很… Sometimes, his kills get...
要怎麼說？ what's the word?

你是怎麼辦到的？ I don't know how you do that.
怎麼可能會喜歡那個味道 You can't like the taste.
我盡量去喜歡 I try to.
還有，克勞蒂亞 And, Claudia,
重點不只在於吃什麼而已 it-- it's not just what you eat.
你可以快速無痛地獵殺 You can kill quick and painless,
你也可以…過度獵殺 or you can get...extravagant.
我有幾次做得太過火 There've been times I gone a little too far myself.
有些獵殺是有後果的 Some killing has consequence.
你家失火就是一個後果 The fire in your house was a consequence.
是因為我的一個獵殺所造成的 It came about 'cause of one of my kills.
我以前有點沉迷於人類的事務 I-I used to get a little caught up in human affairs.

你不是迪拜人，我以為你是本地人 You're not from Dubai. I thought you were a native.
迪拜是個新城市，莫洛伊先生 Dubai is a child, Mr. Molloy.
沒有人是本地人 No one's a native.
嗯 Hmm.
拉希德
總是以「德普安特杜拉克先生」 稱呼路易
「我在服侍一位神祇 那是我的榮幸」
會調馬丁尼，好到像在酒吧工作過
「電子信箱」？是路易 規定要用這個字的嗎？為什麼？
親愛的新日記…很高興認識你 Dear new diary...Nice to meet you.
我們會共度什麼冒險呢？ What adventures we will have.
你來到了一個幸福的家 You've joined a happy home,
雖然是一個奇怪的家 even if we're an odd one.
我現在有自己的房間了，這很棒 I have my own room now, which is good,
因為有時候路易爸爸很緊迫盯人 'cause Daddy Lou can be smotherin',
就像黎斯叔叔有時候很愛生氣一樣 just as Uncle Les can get crotchety.
所以有時候一扇門可以是你的好朋友 And, well, sometimes a door can be your best friend.
進來要先敲門！ You have to knock first!
出去！出去！ Out! Out!
出去！ Out!
祝你生日快樂 Happy birthday to you.
當有人可以吃、有錢可以花的時候 Still, you wouldn't believe how time flies
時間過得難以想像地快 when there's people to eat and money to spend.
這是一個侯爵送我的 This was given to me by a marquis
他送我的十年後被一群暴民斬首了 who was beheaded by a mob 10 years after he gave it to me.
哦！我好喜歡，哦！ Oh! I love it. Oh!
再說一次，你幾歲了，黎斯叔叔？ How old are you again, Uncle Les?
160… Hundred and sixty...
159歲 159.
路易爸爸，我要什麼時候 才會大到可以戴這個？ Daddy Lou, when am I gonna grow into this, though?
我們…我們會找一個適合你的 We--We'll find one in your size.
獵殺、花錢… Kill, spend. Kill, spend.
等你發現的時候，葉子已經變色了 Then the next thing you know, the leaves are turnin'.
爸爸和叔叔之間當然會有問題 Of course, Daddy and Uncle have problems,
很多問題 plenty of 'em,
但大多數時候他們很快就解決了 but they figure 'em out quick most times.
解決不了的時候 And when they can't,
我每次都可以介入其中讓事情變好 I can always get in between and make it right.

我沒參加過守靈 I'd never been to a wake.
連路易爸爸是天主教徒都不知道 Hadn't even known Daddy Lou was Catholic.
到他媽媽離開前，我都不知道他有媽媽 I didn't know he had a mama till he lost her.
你好，親愛的 Hello, sweetie.
還好嗎？ Everything all right?
我沒看過死人看起來這麼平靜的 Never seen a dead one look so peaceful.
你們知道她的遺言是什麼嗎？ You know what her last words were?
你是跟誰來的，親愛的？ Who are you here with, honey?
我爸跟我叔叔 My dad and uncle.
你是誰？ Who are you?
這位是嘉麗絲姑姑跟她先生李維 This your Aunt Grace and her husband Levi.
你要不要去你叔叔那裏？ How 'bout you go to your uncle?
他想要找人聊天 He could use someone to talk to.
你有小孩？ You have a kid?
那女孩是孤兒 The girl is an orphan,
我在自由街上領養她的 我有好好對待她 adopted her off of Liberty Street, did right by it.
你覺得你跟她叔叔 是適合領養孤兒的人嗎？ Do you think you and her uncle are the right people to adopt an orphan?

我們可以分期付款付你錢 We can pay you in installments.
你跟你的白人老爸 在法屬區做得有聲有色 You and your white daddy are doing fine in the Quarter.
我們沒辦法支付原價 你也不需要這筆錢 We can't pay you what it's worth, and you don't need the money.
你忘了我對那扇門 做了什麼嗎，嘉麗絲？ You forget what I did to that door, Grace?
你應該秤秤自己的斤兩 You should measure yourself.
克勞蒂亞表示想要回家了 Claudia has expressed an interest in going home.
時間晚了… It is late for y'all...
味道很難聞 The smell is awful.
嗯 Hmm.
守靈是在會下雪的地方發明的 Wakes were invented in places where it snows.
我會把文件準備好 I'll have the papers drawn up.
路易爸爸說我遠離人群太久 Daddy Lou said I had been away from people too long.
所以不知道怎麼表現得體了 I didn't know how to behave right anymore.
但黎斯叔叔說我表現得沒問題 But Uncle Les said, I behaved just fine.
轉方向盤，快轉 Just steer, steer.
我們不會死！ But we're immortal!
但你還是會把你漂亮的頭 撞個稀巴爛，然後再花很長 Well, you can still smash your pretty little head and then take long,
很無聊的幾個月復原 dull months to recover.
眼睛看著路 Eyes on the road.
路易爸爸無庸置疑是我的最愛 There ain't no doubt Daddy Lou is my favorite.
靠邊停，好 Pull over. Right.
但有時候，黎斯叔叔 跟我有很多共同點 But sometimes, Uncle Les and I have a lot in common.
現在呢，這裏有一份小禮物 我認為你已經準備好了 Now, here's a treat I think you're ready for.
這裏是盤中肉 稱之為「愛人小巷」的地方 This is what the meat calls a "lover's lane",
根據我的判斷 and by my estimation,
沒有任何血更甜美可口了 no blood is sweeter.
年輕人，充滿熱情 Young people, swollen with passion,
被這無情禁令否決的靈魂 denied spirits by this senseless prohibition,
沿著這條寂寞道路歇停 park along this lonely stretch
思索著最神秘難解的數學方程序… to contemplate that most mysterious of mathematical equations...
怎麼一加一… how one plus one...
會等於二 ...becomes one.
他們來這裏算數學嗎？ They come out here to do math?
你被保護得太好了 You've been too sheltered,
我的小美女 my belladonnic beauty.
你的 Yours.
我的 Mine.
他們年輕、力壯 Young, strong,
可能會反擊 and likely to fight back.
你必須非常駭人，嗯？ You must be most ferocious, hmm?
嗯哼 Mm-hmm.
嗯，好舒服 Mmm, that's nice.
你從哪裏學來的？ Where'd you learn that?
接吻技術，還是下面那裏？ The kissin' or the down below?
好舒服 That's nice.
我的天啊！ Jesus, Mary!
什麼？哦 What? Oh.
你要一直站在那裏看嗎，小女孩？ You gonna stand there watchin', little girl?
你媽媽呢？ Where's your mama?
她是從沼澤裏面爬出來還什麼的嗎？ She just crawl out of the swamp or somethin'?
後面那裏有東西，邪惡的東西 There's something back there, something evil.
哦，對 Ah, yes.
她是跟我一起的 She's with me.
黎斯叔叔說我得練習同時獵殺一 Uncle Les says I gotta practice killin' both the one
跟加一才可以 and the plus one at the same time,
但今晚離開時我瞭解到別的事 but I came away understanding something else tonight.
你帶她去哪裏？ You took her where?
她是一個強大的殺手 She's a prodigious killer.
