小叶你 Ye,

你都不跟我说 happened to you.
这咱 咱都 But… But we all know,
咱都看着眼里 right?
说这小叶平时吃啥亏 that whatever bad things happened to you,
受了啥委屈 you would just
她都自己默默扛着 take it on yourself.
我是你指导员 As your instructor,
我了解你那脾气性格 I know you.
你肯定就是怕说出来 You just don't want to
就是连累人家 是不 get someone else in trouble, do you?
咱这次这事 About this,
咱就跟人张主任 you can just tell Director Zhang
咱就实事求是地说 everything you know with honesty,
是不 okay?
咱把这个事说明白了 Let's talk it out, and it'll be fine,

叶文洁同志 Comrade Ye Wenjie.
你知道这个事情的情况 You are aware how serious,
和它的性质 and how special
它不一样 it is.
你知道这意味着啥不 Do you know what it means?
你快点说吧 Just speak.
上星期 A reporter came to the company
来连队采访的记者 from last week.
你说的这个记者 The reporter's name is Bai Mulin,
叫白沐霖吧 right?
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie,
你知不知道 are you aware
诬蔑是罪加一等啊 how serious the crime of slander is?
白沐霖同志 We have run
我们之前已经调查得 a thorough investigation
非常清楚了 on Comrade Bai Mulin.
他只是受你之托 All he did was help you
把信从城里寄出去 mail the letter.
至于信的内容是什么 He had no idea
他完全不知道 what was in the letter.
他是这么说的 Did he say that?
不见棺材不落泪啊 You don't believe me, huh?
出来吧 Present yourself.
是她吗 Is she the one?
是 Yes.
我相信 I believe that
你写这封信 this book inspired you
是受了这本书的启发 对吗 to write the letter, right?
此书名叫《寂静的春天》 The book title is Silent Spring,
出版于一九六二年的西方 published in the western world in 1962.
一经出版在资本主义社会 Its publication stirred
引起了轩然大波 the capitalist society.
而这一本就是它的中译版 And this is the Chinese version.
这是有关部门做内参用的 It's the teaching material for internal reference,
用作反面教材 and is used as a negative example.
上级的态度是很明确的 The higher-ups explicitly stated that
这本书产生的负面影响 the book had a great
十分巨大 negative impact.
这本书的内容 The book adopts
是从唯心史观出发 the idealist conception of history,
宣扬的是末世 and propagandizes the idea of doomsday.
是借着环境问题之名 It's seemingly environment-themed,
为资本主义世界 but its nature is to justify
最后的腐朽和没落 the corruption and degeneration
找托辞 of capitalism.
其本质是非常恶劣的 It's rotten to its core!
这书不是我的 The book isn't mine.
是你偷的 You stole it!
不是我偷的 I didn't steal it.
是白沐霖借给我的 Bai Mulin lent me the book.
你胡说 Nonsense!
我是上级指定的 I was assigned to
这本书的译者之一 translate the book by the authority.
我持有这本书是完全合法的 I have the legal right to own this book.
有话好好说你 Control yourself.
我确实有责任 I admit it is my fault that
我理应妥善保管好它 I didn't keep the book properly.
可是我怎么会知道 But I didn't expect her
她在我劳动的时候 to steal the book
把书偷走了 when I was doing work.
你这是找到了 You found
向社会主义进攻的思想武器了 the weapon to harm socialism.
如果今天我不在场的话 If I wasn't here,
她应该会把责任 she would impute
全都推到我身上 all the responsibility to me.
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie,
我平时待你不薄 I have been nice to you,
你为什么要撒谎 why would you lie?
你为了个人利益就可以 Why would you betray your comrades
出卖战友吗 for personal interest?
好了 好了 好了 All right. All right.
好了 Enough.
你也别太激动了 Calm yourself down.
这个事情的真相 We have acquired enough information
我们心里大概是有数了 about this matter.
好 Alright.
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie,
连里对你可是仁至义尽了 we have been treating you as humanely as possible.
我知道 I know that
你出身和家庭背景都不好 you have a lowly birth.
可我们没把你当外人呢 But we see you as one of us.
针对你脱离群众 About your inclination of isolating yourself
不积极要求进步的倾向 from the people and refusing to seek progress,
我和指导员多次找你谈过 your instructor and I talked to you many times
想帮助你 and tried to help you change.
可谁想到 But who would have thought that
你竟犯了如此严重的错误 you'd make such a serious mistake?
我说我早就看着你有点 I knew you inclined to
有点抵触 not integrate into the collective,
没寻思着你这么根深蒂固 你 but I didn't expect that your toxic thoughts were so deep-rooted.
你这套你说 Take a good look at yourself.
下午带回师部 Take her to the division headquarters.
认真查仔细查 Don't stop the interrogation
直到她认罪为止 until she acknowledges her guilt.
程代表好 Greetings, Representative Cheng.
等一下啊 Hold on a minute.
这个屋子怎么那么冷 The room is so cold.
去弄个炉子来 Go get a stove.
是 Yes, sir.
我是中级法院 I'm here representing the military control commission
军管会的军代表 of the intermediate court.
我叫程丽华 My name is Cheng Lihua.
你好 Nice to meet you.
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie.
手怎么那么冷 Your hand is so cold.
那我们坐那边 We'll sit over there.
好好聊聊 Let's have a good talk.
来 Come on.
年轻啊 You are young.
比我想象的更年轻 Younger than I thought.
小叶 Ye,
你真是糊涂啊 how foolish of you.
年轻人吗 都这样 Well, that's what young people do.
书读得越多越糊涂 The more you read, the more foolish you become.
不过话说回来啊 But to be fair,
年轻人谁不会犯个错误呢 everybody would make mistakes when they were young.
我也犯过 I made mistakes, too.
我们还是那句话 But our attitude remains the same.
不要有思想负担 Don't feel stressed.
有错就改 Acknowledge your mistake and correct it,
完了我们继续革命 and you can still contribute to the revolution.
来 喝点热水 Here, drink some hot water.
暖暖身子吧 Warm yourself up.
这样 Here,
你先把这个签了吧 sign this.
完了呢 我们好好谈谈 And we'll have a good conversation.
我来解开你的思想疙瘩 I'll be guiding you.
小叶 你看你应该相信我 Ye, you can trust me.
我以我的人格担保 I swear on my honor that
这份文件啊 your signature
你签了以后 on the paper
就可以证明你的态度和立场 will prove your attitude and stance.
来 快签吧 Come on, sign it.
好吗 Okay?
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie,
程代表是想帮你 Representative Cheng only wants to help you.
她这几天为了你的事 She's been concerned about you
可没少操心 these days.
你别执迷不悟啊 Don't be unrepentant.
你听见没有啊 Do you hear me?
我能理解的 I understand.
这孩子呀 This girl
被吓坏了 is terrified.
现在有些人的政策水平太低了 Some people are too direct,
方法简单 作风粗暴 rough, and minacious even.
像什么样子呀 And that's not right.
小叶啊 Ye, actually,
其实你签不签字并不重要 it doesn't matter whether you sign it or not.
你可以看看最后一页 You can read the last page.
你只是作为一个 You just sign here
重要的附加证人 as one of the
在这儿签字就可以了 key additional witnesses.
但是你要明白一点 But you have to understand that
并不是非你不可的 it doesn't have to be you.
这是组织上对你的优待 It is a kind offer from the Organization.
我父亲已经去世了 My father is dead.
这些材料是属实的 All the information is factual.
要不你妹妹 Otherwise, your sister
怎么会在上面签字呢 wouldn't have signed it.
我们就是要用事实 We aim to guide those
让那些思想走了歪路的人 who were ideologically led astray
认识到错误 to acknowledge their mistakes with facts.
我不知道父亲跟这些人 I didn't know my father
说过这些话 talked to these people.
这些谈话是真实的 Everything is real.
你要相信组织 You must trust the Organization.
我没有说它不是真的 I didn't say it wasn't real.
但是我真的不知道 I simply don't know.
所以不能签 So I can't sign it.
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie,
注意你的言辞 mind your language.
小叶啊 Well, Ye,
那我就跟你交个底吧 I'll be completely honest with you.
你这个案子呢 There's still a chance
还是有希望的 for you to be pardoned
如果你认识到自己的问题 if you acknowledge your mistake.
知识青年受反动书籍的蒙蔽 It's no big deal that a young intellectual
没什么大事 got blinded by a reactionary book.
都不用走司法程序 We don't even need to bring it to the court.
进个学习班 You'll go to a class,
写几份检查 write some self-examination essays,
你就可以回林场了 and be sent back to the tree farm.
但是如果你固执己见 But if you are self-opinionated,
就很可能需要 then we'll probably
从严处理你的问题 take your case seriously.
就必须要好好接受教育 You'll receive proper ideological education.
你这个案子呢 The public security system
现在公检法系统很重视 attaches importance to your case.
我专门来一趟 I came here
也是想看看你的态度 to find out what stance you take.
这些话呢 I hope what I said to you
希望能对你有帮助 is helpful.
程代表是真的为你好 Representative Cheng is trying to help you.
你也看到了 As you can see here,
已经有四个证人签字 four witnesses have signed the paper.
你签不签 It doesn't really matter
又有什么意义呢 if you sign it or not.
叶文洁 Ye Wenjie,
别一时糊涂啊 you don't want to regret it for the rest of your life.
小叶啊 Ye,
我看着你这么一个 it breaks my heart
有知识的青年被毁了 to see a young intellectual's future
我心疼啊 to be destroyed.
我真的想救你啊 I really want to help you.
你一定要配合 Just be cooperative.
你看着我 Look at me.
我像害你的人吗 Do I look like a person who would harm you?
任何飞扬的思想 Any soaring thoughts
都会怦然坠地 will eventually drop to the ground.
现实的引力 The gravity of reality
太沉重了 is way too heavy.
我不签 No, I won't sign it.
当时 At the time,
我这种情况 someone like me
是会重判的 would receive heavy sentences.
我真的没想到 What you experienced
您经历了这么多 is beyond my imaginations.
过去了 It's in the past.
都过去了 The past is the past.
那个之前陷害您的人 The person who framed you up,
您恨他吗 do you hate him?
白沐霖 Bai Mulin?
在当时那个环境的压迫下 Under the pressure of the political environment,
让他不得不这样做吧 that was his only option.
但不管怎么说 But for what it's worth,
这都不是一个对的选择 that wasn't a right choice.
什么是 What
对 is right
什么又是错呢 and what is wrong?
那本寂静的春天 This is the question that
让我思考得最多的 Silent Spring most often made me
就是这个问题 think about.
使用杀虫剂 It seems so rightful for humans
在我们人类看来 to use pesticides
是多么正当 正常的行为 from our perspective
可在大自然的视角下看呢 but how would nature view it?
人类 What damage
给世界 have human
产生了怎样的危害 brought upon the world?
对和错 Right or wrong
只不过是站在 is only
不同的视角 a matter
观看罢了 of perspectives.
其实我们最难做到的 The most difficult thing for us
就是跳出自己的立场 is to judge something
去看待问题 from another perspective.
就算站在同一立场 There would be no difference
也是一样 even you take the same perspective.
那件事情发生以后 After that thing happened,
我后来就离开了北部林场 I left the northern tree farm
到别处去了 and went elsewhere.
在宇宙大尺度下来看 From a universal perspective,
是非对错 it could be right,
都有可能是 but it also
别有定论的 could be wrong.
小汪 Wang,
你到了我这个年纪 when you are at my age,
你会发现 you'll realize
当年以为天要塌下来的 all those things
那些大事 that seemed extremely important
其实没有什么的 will end up being unimportant.
我们以为 When we find ourselves
已经走到了绝境 pushed into desperation,
也许 perhaps,
离转机就不远了 the turnaround is around the corner.
