丈夫、太太与情人
那时爱因斯坦正庆祝 Einstein was then celebrating...
他的70周岁诞辰纪念 ...the 70th birthday anniversary...
在一个为他举办的学术讨论会上 ...and there was a colloquium given for him.
他说： And he said:
“上帝不会和宇宙万物玩掷骰子游戏” "God doesn't play dice with the universe."
是啊 他只玩躲猫猫游戏 No, he just plays hide-and-seek.

天哪 真是能扯 Jesus, they're so full of it.
你无法教怎么写作 那不是教就能教会的 你只能让学生去接触 You can't teach writing. You expose students...
好的文学作品 希望那能给他们以灵感 ...to good work and hope it inspires them.
有的人能写 他们就来上我的课 而另一些人则永远也学不会 Some can write, others will never learn.
要是学生不能成为陀思妥耶夫斯基或乔伊斯 你就失去了耐心 You lose patience if the student isn't Dostoyevsky.
不 没这回事 怎么会呢 No, that isn't true. That's crazy.
当你偶尔会碰上个把很有天赋的学生 你就会觉得那还是很值的 It's worth it when you get a gifted pupil.
我班上就有个年轻的女孩 她写了一篇奇妙的短篇小说 A girl in my class wrote a great story:
叫《解构时代的口交》 "Oral Sex in the Age of Deconstruction."
- 极富洞察力和浪漫的…… - 他们来了 - It's full of insight, romantic - They're here.
我保证杰克一定又想 带我们去吃中餐 Jack will wanna take us for Chinese food again.
我想莎利一定有点受够了 我们吃意大利面的地方 I think Sally's tired of our pasta places.
- 嗨！ - 今天要下雨吗？ - Hi. - Is it supposed to rain?
嗨！ Hi.
把外套给我 Let me take your coat.
我开了瓶冰的白葡萄酒 你想来点儿吗？ I opened some white wine. You want some?
他们又在弄80号公路 They're doing something at 80th.
杰克？你们想喝点冰白葡萄酒吗？ Jack? You want some cold white wine?
你让我去你们那儿 那也够险的 When I go to your place, it's murder.
是去吃中餐对吗？我说服不了你去吃意大利餐 是吗？ So, Chinese, right? I can't talk you into Italian?
听着 别那么抓狂？ Listen, don't get crazy, you know?
在我们出去吃饭之前 我们想先告诉你们一件事 Before we go out to dinner we wanna tell you something.
- 你想来说？ - 不 你接着说 - You want to? - Go ahead.
- 什么事？什么事？ - 总有人来告诉我们吧 - What? What? - Somebody tell us.
杰克和我准备分手了 Jack and I are splitting up.
- 噢 我知道 这只是…随便说说的吧 - 什么？ - Oh, I see. It's just...Nothing serious. - What?
我们已经讨论过很多次了 我们俩都认为还是这样最好 We discussed this for a long time and we both think it's for the best.
你们显然是在开玩笑 You are joking, of course.
行行好 别那么大惊小怪的 行吗？我们没事 Don't make a big deal, okay? We're fine.
- 你们是认真的？ - 我们没事 我们真的没事 - Are you serious? - We are. We're fine.
- 我们俩都…我们讨论过了 - 这是我们共同的意见 - We both...We discussed it. - It's mutual.
你们什么意思啊？ What do you mean?
我有个好主意 我们在饭桌上再谈这事儿吧 Let's go talk about this at dinner.
我可不想出去吃饭了 I'm not going out to dinner.
这都是什么时候决定的？你们这是在胡说些什么呀？ Since when has this been decided? What are we talking about here?
这件事我们已经讨论过了 We've been discussing it.
别担心 我们没有变成敌人 也没有生对方的气 Don't be worried. There's no hostility.
看见了没？我们很好 You see? We're fine.
- 那么原因是什么呢？ - 别这样 - What is the reason? - Don't--
加贝 这不关我们的事 Gabe, it's none of our business.
别把它变成件悲惨的事好吗？这是件积极的事 Don't turn this into a tragedy. It's a positive thing.
你们怎么就这么分手了？这简直疯了 How can you break up? It's insane.
杰克和莎利 你们是一对 你们还有两个孩子 You're Jack and Sally. You got two kids.
我们的孩子已经大了 他们已经上大学了 Our kids are grown up. They're in college.
我们可不想拿细节来烦你们 We won't bore you with details.
我就是想不明白 从什么时候开始的？你们俩一直都那么好 I can't get my mind around this. Since when? You get along so well.
她说得对 你们有了其他人啦？ She's right. Have you met other people?
加贝 这不关我们的事 Gabe, it's not our business.
- 我只是觉得太奇怪了 - 我感觉不舒服 - I'm fascinated by this. - I feel sick.
我们并不想毁掉什么东西 明白吗？ We didn't wanna ruin anything.
- 我们只是想试一下…分开了会怎么样 - 分开一段时间 - We wanna see what it's like to be - Apart for a while.
别不支持我们 我们下了很大的决心才这么做的 Don't not support us. We've gotten the nerve--
你们绝对是疯了 你们一周内就会重在一起了 This is insanity. You'll be back together--
她打算仍住在我们在里佛岱尔的房子 我会在城里找个地方 She's keeping the place in Riverdale. I'm looking for a place in town.
噢 我感到深受打击 I just feel shattered.
- 噢 别这样 朱迪 - 真的 - Oh, come on, Judy. - I do.
别这样 我们吃饭去 Come on, let's eat.
你什么意思？“别这样 我们吃饭去”？ What do you mean, "Come on, let's eat"?
“别这样”？我吃不下 "Come on"? I can't eat.
- 不要那么生气了 - 我没生气！我没生气！ - Don't get angry. - I'm not!
- 我没有…… - 我就知道会这样 - I'm not angry! - I knew it.
你们就这样冲进来 宣布你们分手了？ You march in here and announce you're breaking up?
你…你们有两个孩子！你们为什么要这么做？ You have two kids! Why are you doing this?
这不关我们的事 This is not our business.
这怎么不关我们的事啦？他们是我们最亲密的朋友！ Why not? They're our closest friends!
你想知道个简单的答案 可这并非一朝一夕的事情 There is no one traumatic event.
人们慢慢疏离 因为许多小事 累积而成 所以还是别问了 People grow apart. It's a lot of little personal things. Now stop it.
我可不想听你这样放屁 都是扯淡！ I don't wanna hear this bullshit.
- 她为什么这么心烦？ - 朱迪 - Why is she so upset? - Judy--
她太关心我们了 She cares about us.
可我也很关心你们啊 Well, I care about you too.
- 朱迪！ - 我们很好 知道吗？ - Judy! - We're fine, okay?
- 我们想这样做 - 这简直疯了 - We wanna do this. - This is crazy.
朱迪 你为什么这么把它当成自己的事情了啊？ Why are you taking this so personally?
我很心烦！行吗？我就不能心烦了吗？ I'm upset! All right? Can't I be upset?
朱迪 我和我心理医生商量过了 I've discussed this in therapy.
是吗？你从没透露过一个字啊！ You have? You never said a word!
- 你自己说过这不关我们的事 - 是的 可我们的关系那么密切！ - You said this wasn't our business. - We were all so close!
好吧 是我以为很密切 I assumed we were.
她很心烦 他确实很难过 She's very upset.
嘿 拜托两位 我们自己 都没觉得什么 你们就别揪着不放了 Will you please not turn this into a wake?
你看 为什么这么把它当成你的事情了啊？我不知道说什么好了 Why is this such a personal thing for you? I don't know what to say.
我们还是出去吃饭吧 忘掉这事 Let's just go out to dinner and forget it.
- 朱迪 别这样啊！ - 我就知道这会变成件大事 - Judy, come on! - I knew this would happen.
那么你为什么会这么心烦呢？ So why were you so upset?
我不知道 我真的不知道 I don't know. I really don't know.
- 一点也没想到？ - 是的 完全没料到 - It was a total shock? - Yeah, completely.
你知道 他们对此太若无其事了 They were so casual about it.
他们看起来一点也没有 那种应该有的不安感 They didn't seem to be appropriately upset.
你是否是因为莎利从没跟你 提起过什么 而感觉受到了伤害？ Were you hurt because Sally never mentioned anything to you?
那么 Well....
我想如果我真的仔细 认真回想一下 I think, if I look hard--Searching over the time...
我俩单独在一起的时光 ...when we were alone together--
我想她是可能无意间说起过 她说想知道 She may have occasionally remarked about wondering...
要是单身一人会怎么样 ...what it would be like to be single.
在她现在了解了很多的事 经历了很多的事之后 诸如此类的话 Now, with all she knew, all she'd experienced. That kind of thing.
但他从没说过杰克 有什么不好 一点也没有 But she never said anything negative about Jack.
我们继续之前 对不起 跟我们介绍一下你自己吧 Before we go on, tell us something about yourself.
好让我们对你有所了解 So we know who you are.
好的 我叫朱迪·罗斯 我嫁给了加贝 Okay. My name is Judy Roth. I'm married to Gabe.
我们结婚已经快10年了 We've been married about 10 years.
我在一家艺术杂志社工作 我们没生孩子 I work for an art magazine. We don't have any children.
但我有个女儿 是我前一次婚姻生的 I have a daughter from a previous marriage.
我很年轻的时候就结了婚 嫁给了一个建筑师 I was married when I was very young, to an architect.
但结果不好 也不能说是谁的错 It didn't work out. It's nobody's fault.
朱迪告诉我们那天晚上 最终她还是一起出去吃饭了 Judy told us they did finally go to dinner.
她说她很紧张不安 尽管其他人看起来都还好 She said she was tense and nervous, although the others seemed fine.
吃完饭后他们从餐馆一起散步回家 Afterwards, they walked home.
尽管她也尽量想参与进去 但是她发现当时的气氛很凝重 She tried to participate, but found the atmosphere strained.
总而言之 她说 对她来说 这是一个非常奇特的夜晚 All in all, she said, it was a very peculiar evening.
这太有意思了 不是吗？ It's amazing, isn't it?
你以为和某人是好朋友 非常亲密 可结果却是 You think you're friendly with people and it turns out...
你根本就不知道 他们在想什么 ...you really have no idea what they're thinking.
你有没有什么事瞒着我过？ Do you ever hide things from me?
我？什么样的事？ Me? What kind of things?
我不知道 感情方面的事 I don't know. Feelings, you know.
渴望啦 抱怨啦 Longings. Complaints.
没有 No.
- 你呢？ - 没有 - Do you? - No.
有的时候吧 也许 Sometimes, maybe.
真的吗？比如说什么事？ Really? Like what?
我不知道 你总是对我那么挑剔 I don't know. You know how you're always so critical?
我们以前也讨论过这个 We've had this conversation.
你看 你今天晚上的情绪 绝对很奇怪 You're definitely in a strange mood tonight.
我没事 对不起 I'm fine. I'm sorry.
那么杰克从没给你过什么暗示吗？这太奇怪了 你们俩那么亲近 Jack never gave you an inkling? It's strange, you guys are so close.
实际上我是记得他跟我提起过 在他办公室发生的一件事 I remember one incident he mentioned at his office.
杰克 你一定要相信我跟你说的这事 Jack, trust me on this.
你会愿意为这女孩去死 This girl is to die.
她名叫肖恩·格林杰 天生就是干这行的 Shawn Grainger, she's built out to here.
你会觉得这辈子都没这么快活过 You will have the time of your life.
要200块钱 相信我 那绝对值得 And for $200, believe me, it's a bargain.
我可不想和鸡上床 染上艾滋病怎么办？ I'm not gonna do it. What about AIDS?
她又不是街上的野鸡 她是个高级应召女郎 She's not a whore. She's a high-class call girl.
她会做任何事 只要你需要 而且她还有其他姐妹 She'll do anything you want. And on top of it, she's got friends.
我可不会对我妻子做这样的事 明白吗？这太危险了 What about my wife? It's dangerous.
你看 是谁跟我抱怨 Who was the guy who told me...
说你的性生活不那么满意的？ ...that your sex life wasn't so terrific?
得了吧 午餐桌上多喝了两杯 马提尼 我什么都会胡说 Come on, at a two-martini lunch I'll say anything.
肖恩的嘴巴就像是天鹅绒 我不骗你 真的像天鹅 Shawn has got a mouth like velvet. Believe me.
她以前好像得过什么小姐的称号 她得过 She was a former Miss Something-or-Other.
你听着 我午饭时到底说了些什么？ What exactly did I say at lunch?
你说莎利很冷淡 你很想 You said that Sally was cold, and you were...
和你的健身教练干一把 ...dying to fuck your aerobics trainer.
我绝对不该在午餐时喝酒 I should never drink at lunch.
我把她的电话号码写给你 I'm gonna write down the number.
- 我建议你 - 你这是干什么？ - I advise you to - What are you doing?
怎么了？ Hey. What--?
我没给你指错过道吧？ Have I steered you wrong?
- 我从没有 - 快出去！ - I've never - Get out of here.
好吧 这个给你 好好利用 There it is. Use it.
他打电话给我 那是他拿到我电话号码一个月后的事了 He called. I thought it was about a month after he got my number.
在电话里他很有礼貌 有点儿紧张 He was polite on the phone. A little tense.
我总能够分辨出 一个人有没有这方面的经历 I can always tell who's inexperienced.
他约我在“大美洲饭店”见面 He wanted to meet at the Americana Hotel.
当我到那儿之后 他非常客气 彬彬有礼 也很紧张 When I got there he was very polite, very gentlemanly. Very nervous.
但是他没能完成性行为 因为他挺不起来 He couldn't go through with it. He couldn't get it up.
当我们在那儿时 他感觉他胸口特别的疼 He had pains in his chest.
我以为他心脏病发作了 不过后来就好了 I thought it was a heart attack, but they passed.
- 那是你最后一次见他吗？ - 不 几个月后他又给我打电话 - That was the last you saw of him? - He called a couple of months later.
我和他在同一家饭店见面 这一次 他和我上床了 We met at the same hotel. This time he slept with me.
之后 我开始比较有规律地与他交往 两到三个星期见一次 Then I started seeing him fairly regularly, every two, three weeks.
他说他一直在看心理医生 想解决他的问题 He said he'd seen a psychiatrist and worked out his problem.
有一次我去不了 我就喊了我的一个朋友代我去 Once I couldn't make it so I sent a friend.
之后他就开始约我们两个人 轮流着来 Then he started seeing both of us.
再后来我们两个就 再也没见到他了 Then neither one of us ever saw him again.
这么说他再也没打电话给她 至少他良心发现把那号码丢了 At least he threw the number away.
嗯 据我所知是这样 Well, as far as I know.
但杰克不是那种喜欢和妓女鬼混的人 But Jack is not a hooker guy.
杰克还是挺一本正经的 He's very strait-laced.
莎利在床上很冷淡？ And Sally's cold in bed.
这不奇怪 她属于那种理智型的 That's no surprise. She's very cerebral.
我在床上冷淡吗？ Am I cold in bed?
没有 为什么这么问？当然不是 No. Why would you say that?
我放不开对吗？我记得你说过 But I'm inhibited, right? You said that.
你老忘不掉这事 几年前 我们为此发生了一次小争执 You can't forget that. We had one minor argument years ago.
可你却小题大作 到最后变成了大吵大闹 所以你就忘不掉了 Which you blew up into a major confrontation--
你有没有过 想和妓女上床的冲动？ Do you ever want to sleep with a whore?
- 我？没有 绝对没有 - 没有吗？ - Me? No, definitely not. - No?
是的 当我念大学的时候 有过 When I was in college, I did.
是吗？ Yeah?
你今晚的情绪很怪 我可以看出来 杰克和莎利的分手绝对影响了你 You're in an odd mood. Their breakup has definitely affected you.
你认为 You think--
我们以后有可能分手吗？ You think we'd ever break up?
这算什么问题？我可没这样的打算 你呢？ What? I'm not planning it, are you?
- 没有 - 那就好 - No. - Okay.
但是你继续不想让我怀孕的话 我不知道我会怎么想 But I don't know how I'll feel if you still don't wanna make me pregnant.
我们又要重复一遍 这样的对话了吗？ Are we gonna have that conversation again?
- 你已经有了一个女儿 - 是的 - You have a daughter - Yeah.
我还想要一个 I want another.
为什么？ Why?
带新生命来这个可怕的世界 是很残酷的事 It's cruel to bring life into this terrible world.
得了吧 别找哲学理由 来美化你的拒绝了 Don't glorify your refusal on philosophical grounds.
这叫什么话 你应该看看 你说这话时你脸上的气愤表情 You should see the angry look on your face when you say that.
你想做爱吗？ You wanna make love?
好的 可是…你知道 如果我们能调整好情绪的话 Okay, if we can get into it in some way.
- 我不能就这样像接受命令似的去做 - 我们能调整好情绪 - I can't just do it on command. - We can get into it.
- 好吧 把子宫帽戴上 Okay, so put your diaphragm on.
你不会跟我说 你去戴上子宫帽 You'd never say you were putting your diaphragm on...
然后却又不想做了 对吗？ ...and then not do it, right?
什么？ What?
你怎么能这么说！ What a thing to say!
你这样说真是太可怕了 我的天哪！ That's a terrible thing to say.

- 到这里来 - 在人家的晚会上、在人家的卫生间里 - Come here. - Parties, people's bathrooms--
你坐下来放松一下 行吗？ Sit and relax for a minute, will you?
如果你回忆清楚的话 你该记得 以前我们即兴做爱的时候 If you remember clearly, when we used to do that spontaneous sex...
你从没真正喜欢过 你总是很紧张 ...you never really liked it. You were always tense.
你总是听见人们在隔壁房间里吃东西或在餐厅里弄出动静 You always heard people in the next room making noises.
还记得吗？你现在想起来 却觉得那是种美事？ Now you remember it in a glorified way.
- 你有没有被其他女人吸引过呢？ - 谁啊？比如说谁啊？ - Are you ever attracted to other women? - Like who?
比如说你班上的那些女生 她们都很有才华 很有见地 Like all the women you have in class, who are so talented and insightful.
你知道 我肯定她们都很崇拜你 I'm sure they worship you.
我可以告诉你 她们不会想要找个老男人的 明白吗？ Can I tell you that they don't want an old man? All right?
我想老男人比老女人有优势 I think an old man does better than an old woman.
好吧 那我们干脆互相不离不弃好了 Then we're definitely stuck with one another.
好了 别这样 你真的 Now, come on. You're really....
别这样 Come on.

你不是非得……这只是个花招 You don't have to-- It's just a trick.
- 你不必认识或者 - 你可以随便就编个出来？ - You don't have to know or - Can you just turn it out?
有一些非常非常好的教授 他们因为勾引 There are a number of very good professors who are notorious...
他们的女学生而声名狼藉 这样的事一直不断 ...for seducing their female pupils. This goes on...
因为这太易如反掌了 ...because it's a cinch.
你知道 她们仰慕他们 You know, they look up to them.
你知道 他们都一把年纪 You know, they're older men...
学生会因为受到了关注而沾沾自喜 ...and students are flattered by the attention.
我从来没做过这样的事情 倒不是说我没有在课堂上做过白日梦 It's not something I've ever done. Not to say I haven't had daydreams.
她们中的一些确实 很有魅力也很有意思 Some of those women are very attractive and interesting.
可我从来没有 But I've never--
我从来没有付诸过行动 I've never acted on it.
你知道 我从没欺骗过朱迪 I've never cheated on Judy.
或我一生中任何其他的关系 真的 Or any other relationship in my life, really.
因为那不是我的风格 Because that has not been my style.
但曾有一次 But, once--
有一次 很多年以前了 One time, many years ago...
那时我和这位奇妙的 有意思的女人住在一起 ...I was living with this fabulous, interesting woman...
她名叫哈丽特·哈门 ...named Harriet Harmon.
我不好意思这样说 但哈丽特·哈门仍然是 I'm ashamed to say this, but Harriet Harmon...
是我曾经最爱的人 ...was the great love of my life.
那是一种充满着激情的关系 我曾强烈地爱着她 It was a very passionate relationship. I loved her very intensely.
我们会在各种地方做爱 And, you know, we just made love everywhere.
她对性简直贪得无厌 She was sexually carnivorous.
我们在卡住了的电梯里做 We did it in stalled elevators...
在灌木从里 在人家的屋子里 在晚会的洗手间里做 ...and in bushes and people's houses, at parties in the bathroom.
我不想告诉你 在汽车的后座上 她会用一件外套盖住她双腿 In the back of cars, she'd put a coat on our laps...
一把抓过我的手 就往她的两腿之间塞 ...and grab my hand and stick it between her legs.
她真的非常与众不同 She was really something.
她有点 她的性欲很强 And she, you know, she was highly libidinous.
明白我意思吗？她想与其他的女人做爱 You know? She wanted to make love with other women.
她有一阵子迷上了毒品 她会打开那玩意儿 She got into dope for a while. She'd break that thing...
吸上一口 然后她就会有高潮 ...that you sniff when she'd have her orgasm.
你知道 对我来说 真让我大开眼界 I was getting a real education.
我被她弄得神魂颠倒 我完全为她而疯狂 I was fascinated. I was absolutely nuts about her.
可最终 她被送入了精神病院 And ultimately she wound up in an institution.
我是说 这并不好玩 这是件很悲哀的事 I mean, it's not funny, it was a very sad thing.
她很棒 但很疯狂 She was great, but nuts.
你瞧 我一直有这样的嗜好 See, I've always had this penchant...
喜欢那种我称之为“神风女子”的女人 ...for what I call "kamikaze women."
我称她们“神风”因为他们撞毁飞机 自我毁灭 I call them kamikazes because they crash their plane.
但他们是冲着你撞过来 于是你就和他们同归于尽了 They crash it into you, and you die with them.
只要存在挑战 成功的机会微乎其微 As soon as there's little chance of it working out...
我心里就会产生一种莫名的兴奋 也许那是由于我是个作家 ...something clicks in my mind. Maybe because I'm a writer.
可是如果某种戏剧性的 或审美的要素恰到好处 A dramatic or aesthetic component becomes right...
我就会追逐那个人 ...and I go after that person.
这样就会形成某种戏剧性的氛围 仿佛我 There's a certain dramatic ambience that's almost...
或多或少地爱上了那个人 爱上了那种状况 ...as if I fall in love with the situation.
当然 那种状况的结局 对我来说并不太好 Of course, it has not worked out well for me.
结果不算很好 It has not been great and
杰克和莎利 分手几个星期之后 A few weeks after Jack and Sally split--
他和我交谈得不多 You know, he and I didn't speak much.
因为我发现他躲着我们 我们花更多时间陪着莎利 I found him elusive. We spent more time with Sally.
她很沮丧 我们一直想办法让她高兴起来 She was depressed. We'd try and cheer her up.
要是让我独自一人住在你住的地方 我一定很害怕 I'd be scared to live alone where you live.
真的很吓人 It's really scary.
那里经常发生的入室盗窃 我邻居的房子就被抢过 There have been burglaries. My neighbor was robbed.
邻居人都在家里 And nearby, people were at home.
我是说 算他们走运 他们没醒过来 It's lucky for them they didn't wake up.
我一定吓死了 晚上我一定不敢闭上眼睛 I would die. I'd never close my eyes at night.

- 我们全吃素菜 - 我们去不了 - It's vegetarian. - We can't.
- 你们不喜欢吃肉吗？ - 是的 她吃一点儿 - You don't eat meat, do you? - I don't. She eats a little.

她棒极了 她很投入 她是个很不错的女孩 她家在特拉华 She is terrific. She's a nice girl. Her family's from Delaware.
她父亲在警察局工作 Her father's in police work.
我就是想不明白 你离开莎利就是为了她？我很震惊 I can't get my mind around it. You leave Sally for this? I'm shocked.
- 小心点伙计 我对她是认真的 - 你是我朋友 我爱你 - Careful. I'm serious about her. - You're my friend, I love you.
你的智商好像突然间就衰退了 It's like your IQ is in remission.
- 好像你得了好多次中风 - 拜托 别再给我说教了 - It's like you had a stroke. - Don't give some moralizing discourse.
- 你又不是我的拉比 闭嘴吧 - 我只是觉得难以置信 - You're not my rabbi. - I just can't believe it.
你和莎利结婚已经这么多年了 你们成了家 她很出色 You're with Sally for years. You raise a family. She's wonderful.
- 好吧 她有的时候是会让人蛋疼 - 她确实是 - So she's a ball-breaker sometimes - She is.
是我在和她生活 你又不了解她 I lived with her, you don't know her.
我不了解她？那么跟我说说到底有什么可怕的事 I don't? So tell me something terrible.
没什么可怕的事可以告诉你的 她人很棒 There's nothing terrible to tell you.
我不想伤害她 我这样做并不是想伤害她 I don't wanna hurt her. That's not what this is about.
可你突然招来个鸡尾酒女招待 Suddenly you take up with a cocktail waitress--
- 她不是鸡尾酒女招待 - 我考虑的是你和莎利 - She's not a cocktail waitress. - I think of you and Sally
她人很好 在她身边我可以很放松 She's warm and she's nice and I can relax around her.
莎利有点神经质 这你也知道 Sally was hyper. You know that.
她是不错 但她很冷漠 很难缠 She's great, but she's cold and difficult.
她的那些拉德克利夫学院朋友 还有她那些室内装潢的狗屁玩意儿 Her Radcliffe friends and the crap about her decorator.
我受够了歌剧 I was bored at the opera.
她从不愿意和我一起去看比赛 我们从不放松 She'd never go to a game. We'd never just relax.
甚至在家里我把烟灰缸放错位置 那我就完了！ If I put an ashtray down in the wrong place, that was it!
- 这要让你花15年时间才闹明白是吗？ - 我早就该这么做了 - It took 15's to understand this? - I should've done it before now.
我们有孩子 我们也都很害怕独自一人 But we had kids and we're all scared of being alone.
我爱莎利 可我和健身教练在一起又有什么不对？ I love Sally. But what's wrong with aerobics?
- 我成了什么？虚伪小人？ - 这和健身教练有什么关系啊？ - What am I? A snob? - What's it got to do with aerobics?

她他妈就是个鸡尾酒女招待 She's a fucking cocktail waitress.
这不关你的事 你根本不懂我们俩之间的事 That's not your business. You don't know what goes on between us.
我受够了被人指指点点 I'm tired of being corrected and criticized.
我和莎利在一起时就是这样 That's all I ever did with Sally.
你妈妈没来城里 她在佛罗里达 And your mother is not in town. She's in Florida.
我真的认为不管我们如何努力 婚姻也不可能永久维系 I think no matter how hard we worked, the marriage wouldn't have lasted.
你和朱迪的婚姻有多长时间？ How long were you and Judy married?
五年 Five years.
- 你们为什么分的手？ - 我想退出了 - Why did you split up? - I thought I wanted out.
我感觉油箱里已经没油了 I felt I had just run out of gas.
可现在我回想 其实是朱迪不想 But as I look back, I think it was Judy who wanted out.
这么说是她离开的你？ So she left you?
不 她才不会 那不是她的风格 No, she'd never--That's not her style.
别让朱迪骗了你 她是那种 我称之为“被动进攻型”的人 Don't let Judy fool you. She's what I call passive-aggressive.
她总是一副“我好可怜啊 你饶了我吧”的样子 Everything is, "Poor me, give me a break."
可她总是能得到她想要的东西 But she gets what she wants.
我还记得那天她遇见她现任丈夫加贝·罗斯的情景 I remember when she met her current husband, Gabe Roth.
我丈夫和我女儿这周呆在这 My husband and daughter are staying...
但是我明晚必须乘火车进城 我还有些工作要做 ...but I'm leaving tomorrow. I have to work.
- 你可以搭我的车 我明天开车回去 - 不 别傻了 - Let me give you a lift. - No, don't be silly.
- 你为什么坐火车回去？ - 我喜欢坐火车 - Why go on the train? - It's fine.
- 你想吃点什么吗？ - 我？不 还是我去给你拿吧 - Would you like something to eat? - Me? No. I'll get you something.
- 我正要去 还是你告诉我你要什么吧 - 别傻了 - I was just on my way. - Don't be silly.
- 意大利面？还要其他的么？ - 就这些 - Pasta? Anything else? - That's fine.
- 我可以很容易地叫到出租车 - 为什么要这样？ - I can easily get a cab. - Why should you?
看 最后还是他去拿了吃的 See? He winds up getting the food.
他改变了他的日程 驱车将她送到家了门口 He changes his schedule, drives her home.
她总是在说：“不 我没事的 不用帮我 ” And all the time it's, "No, I'll be okay. Don't help me."
我前夫没有说到的是 在我们婚姻的最后两年 What he doesn't say is that for the last two years of our marriage...
当他想和我干那事时 他事实上很无能为力 ...he was virtually impotent, when it came to me.
他变得很愤怒 因为我没变成他所期望的样子 He was just raging because I didn't turn out to be what he thought--
他以为我会成为他母亲那样的人 He thought I'd be one thing. His mother, to be exact.
而让我受不了的是 从各个方面来说 他都极其平庸 And I couldn't take the fact that he was unromantic in every way.
他是那种会送你一件厨具作为生日礼物的人 He'd give you an appliance for your birthday.
我从没送过她“梅利尔咖啡机”作为生日礼物 I never got her a Melior coffeemaker for a birthday present.
我曾送过她一个照相机 I got her a camera once.
和一个摄影放大机 以纪念我们的结婚日 And an enlarger for our anniversary.
她要我送的 She asked for it.
你在想什么呢？ What are you thinking about?
我不知道 I don't know.
也许我在想你正在读的那份手稿 I was thinking about that manuscript you're reading.
- 这是部很糟糕的小说 - 非常具有自传性质 - It's just a terrible novel - Very autobiographical.
- 我还可以写点什么呢？ - 我应该被贬损吗？ - What else can I work on? - Should I be insulted?
为什么你应该被贬损？ Why insulted?
我们在汉普顿的那个聚会认识的？ The way we met. That party in the Hamptons?
“他远远地看见了她 头脑里突然跃入了哈丽特的样子 "He spotted her from a distance and Harriet leapt to mind.
“就这么简单 他就被她吸引住了 因为她让他想起了 "He was drawn to her instantly because she reminded him...
“…他唯一有过的真正的激情 "...of his only genuine passion.
“他的第六感告诉他应该采取行动 "His sixth sense told him to move on it.
“然而她并不是哈丽特 他结识她的那一刻 他的梦也随之消散了” "But she wasn't Harriet. The minute he met her, the dream evaporated."
- 是的 你没那么疯狂 - 我只是令人厌烦 - So she wasn't crazy. - No, just boring.
她是书中最好的女人 这就是为什么他和她结了婚 She's the best. That's why he marries her.
- 但是他付出了代价 - 这是垃圾 我早想把它扔了 - But he pays a price. - This is junk. I'll throw it away.
你错了 小说充满了 活力和智慧 写得很好 You're wrong. It's full of vitality and wit. It's good.
- 你有偏见 因为你是我妻子 - 你的沉闷的妻子 - You're prejudiced, you're my wife. - Your dull wife.
为什么你一定要征求我的意见 你根本就不在乎 I don't know why you ask for my opinion. You don't care.
- 不是这么回事 - 就是这么回事 - It's not true. - It is true.
我认为这是部很平庸的小说 I think it's a mediocre novel.
因为你根本不尊重我的评判 要是别的什么人过来这么说 You have no respect for my judgment. If somebody else said that...
- 你一定就全盘接受了 - 我不会的 - ...you'd accept it totally. - I would not.
又过了一段时间 朱迪和莎利一起吃午饭 After some time, Judy and Sally had lunch.
莎利作了一番令人吃惊的告白 Sally made a surprising announcement.
我喜欢单身一人 I like being single.
是吗？我怎么会有截然相反的印象 You do? I had the opposite impression.
那只是事前所预料的焦虑 That's anticipatory anxiety.
当你平静下来后就会觉得这并没有想象的那么糟 就像拔掉一颗坏牙 You realize it's not as bad as you fantasized. Like pulling a bad tooth.
你婚姻中所有那些溃烂化脓的伤口 那些失望沮丧 All the festering wounds of your marriage, the disappointments...
那些怨恨 猛然之间都消失得无影无踪 你自由了 ...the resentments, they're gone in one clean yank and you're free.
那么多年下来积累的问题和忍气吞声 After years of accumulating problems and swallowing one's anger...
- 然后你有了个重新开始的机会 - 不 我能够想象 - you have a chance to begin again. - Yeah. I can imagine.
对女人来说 时间更加不等人 趁你还有魅力的时候去做吧 The clock ticks faster for a woman. Do it while you have some allure left.
年纪变大有一个好处 那就是 The one advantage of being older is...
你有了很多的经验 ...you have a lot of experience.
我有更好的把握 让事情有更好的结果 I have a better shot at making things work out...
如果我碰上什么人的话 ...if I met someone.
如果加贝和我现在认识 了解了我们现在所有的事 If Gabe and I met now, knowing all the things we know...
那我们就会有个更加好的关系 这点毫无疑问 ...we'd have a better relationship. No question.
可你还会嫁给他吗？ Would you still marry him?
天哪 你这问题问得！ God, what a question!
你知道 对我来说 我只是 You know, for me, I just--
一想到两人要分手 真是太痛苦了 The thought of breaking up is just so painful.
你不应该出于害怕 就硬呆在一起 那你会变成什么样？ You can't stay out of fear. You know what you become?
- 什么样？ - 我妈妈和我爸爸 - What? - My mother and father.
唔 Well...
我设想过自己的自由 ...I've pictured myself free.
- 我知道你设想过 - 你怎么知道的？ - I know you have. - How do you know?
因为那天晚上 你一下变得那么愤怒 Because you got so angry that night...
当杰克和我 谈起我们要分手的事时 ...when Jack and I said we were splitting.
我事后我意识到 我们一定触到你的神经了 I realized we must have touched a nerve.
- 不 - 是的！就像是哈姆雷特和俄狄浦斯 - No. - Yes! It's like Hamlet and Oedipus.
那晚你很愤怒 因为我做了 其实是你想做的事 You were angry because I did what you really want to do.
你过分夸张了 加贝和我还好 You're over-dramatizing. Gabe and I are okay.
- 没有十全十美的婚姻 - 我知道 我知道 - Nobody has it perfect. - I know. I know.
既然都还好 那没什么比这更好的了 When it's good, nothing's better.
听着 我想我也许可以 给你找个可能的人选 Listen, I think maybe I have a possibility for you.
- 告诉我 - 记得迈克尔·盖茨吗？ - Tell me. - Michael Gates?
就是你说过的很有吸引力的那一位？你办公室的那位？ The one you said was attractive? In your office?
他来这儿才几个月 He's only been there a few months.
我知道他曾有个女朋友 不过现在他们分手了 He had a girlfriend, but they've broken up.
我真的认为他很有魅力 也很聪明 I do think he's attractive. He's charming, he's bright.
现在时机正合适 The timing's perfect.
你现在就去我办公室见见他 看看你的感觉如何 Come up to the office now and meet him. See how you feel.
要是你认为你还有兴趣 我们可以一起 If you're interested, we could all...
安排点什么事 比如出去聚一聚什么的 ...arrange something or go out together.
迈克尔 这是我朋友莎利 我要给她找几本以前的杂志 Michael, this is Sally. I'm finding some back issues for her.
- 莎利为“地标建筑保护委员会”工作 - “保护委员会”？ - She's with the Preservation Committee. - Preservation?
我这么跟你说吧 我不赞成有死刑 除了对某些纽约的建筑商们 I don't believe in capital punishment except for New York builders.
不只是纽约是这样 Not just New York.
在哪儿都有对新鲜玩意的盲目热情 年轻人嘛 There's always a blind passion for the new, the young.
你们俩在这等一会儿 我就回来 Listen, you two wait here and I'll be right with you.
- 把外套脱了吧 那样舒服点 - 好的 - Take your coat off. - All right.
随便扔哪儿 对不起 我这里乱糟糟的 我正在编撰一整期有关 Throw it anywhere. We're putting out an issue...
德国二十和三十年代家具风格的杂志 ...of German furniture styles in the '20s and '30s.
我恨那段时期 我大学论文就是“包豪斯建筑” I hate that period. I did my college thesis on Bauhaus architecture.
题目叫《功能和法西斯主义》 那是多年前在拉德克利夫学院 It was called "Function and Fascism." This was years ago at Radcliffe.
我对此大加抨击 倒不是说那不能成为杂志标题 It was very unpopular. Not that it won't make a good magazine subject.
看一下这把椅子 还有印象吗？ Have a look at that chair. Remember that?
- 这椅子是不是很棒？ - 我真的不喜欢这把椅子 - Isn't it wonderful? - I truly dislike that chair.
- 那这把呢？ - 我讨厌这把椅子 - This one? - I hated that.
那么你感觉怎么样？他是不是很可爱？ What do you think? Isn't he sweet?
- 唔 是的 他看上去还不错 - 是吗？ - Well, yes. He seems nice. - Yeah.
- 我认为他长得很帅 - 他单身一人 也不是同性恋 - I think he's great-looking. - And he's single and not gay.
我告诉过你 他才分手 I'm telling you, he just broke up.
我还没了解他到那种程度 I don't know him that well.
你知道 他有点安静 不过我喜欢他那样 He's quiet. I like that about him.
他很有幽默感 他喝醉的样子也很迷人 He's got a great sense of humor. He's a very charming drunk.
因为在这的一个生日晚会上 他喝多了 There was a party here and he'd had a lot.
然后他泪流满面的吟诵起叶芝的诗来 He was quoting Yeats' poems and he was crying.
是吗？他哭了？ He was? He weeps?
但是样子很可爱 要不要我召集聚一聚？ But in the sweetest way. So shall I get us all together?
他已经邀请我吃午饭了 He already asked me to lunch.
是吗？ He did?
我们俩都在坎布里奇上的大学 We both took courses at Cambridge.
所以他建议我们下星期一起吃个中饭 He suggested we have lunch next week.
那太好了！我成了你们的红娘 That would be great. I'd be the matchmaker.
我一下子就喜欢上了莎利 我立刻就被她吸引住了 I took an instant liking for Sally. I was immediately attracted.
她直话直说 这点我很喜欢 She spoke her mind, she spoke her thoughts.
而且 她也很性感 And she's very sexy, you know?
我说过我不想刻意 去寻找新的关系 因为 Look, I wasn't looking for another relationship because...
我刚和艾米分手 我发誓不想再卷进去了 ...I'd just split up with Amy and sworn off getting involved.
可是和莎利 有什么东西立刻就抓住了我 But with Sally, there was something that just hooked in at once.
- 那么你很感激朱迪介绍你们认识？ - 是的 我很感激 - So you were grateful to Judy? - Yes, I was. Very.
真有意思 当我 It's funny, you know. When I--
当我刚开始认识朱迪时 我感觉她在向我调情 When I first got to know Judy, I thought she was flirting with me.
我当时想 她的婚姻一定不怎么如意 And I thought she must be unhappily married.
后来我遇见了她丈夫 他们看上去还不错 朱迪给人感觉就是这样 I met her husband, they seemed fine. That's typical of her.
她非常的热情 She's very giving...
这次她给我帮了个大忙 介绍我和莎利认识 ...and she did me this favour by introducing me to Sally.
你的第二个故事和第一个故事一样有趣 非常棒 Your second story was as interesting as your first. It was wonderful.
- 太好了！ - 我完全被折服了 - Great! - I was knocked out.
我太受宠若惊了 我很高兴你喜欢它 I'm thrilled. I'm so glad you like it.
你的话给了我鼓励 我想让你知道这点 You're so encouraging to me. I want you to know that.
别傻了 这只是我的一己之见 Don't be silly. I'm just one opinion.
你的意见足够了 You're the opinion.
你的句子造得很妙 比如“生活并不仿效艺术 它仿效烂电视节目” Your line was great. "Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad TV."
- 我想这完全正确 - 是啊 - I think it's completely true. - Right.
我想说的是 你的意见 对我非常的重要 I can't tell you how much your opinion means to me, you know.
你想不想去走走？ Listen, you wanna go for a walk? I mean...

你想听到更多的 关于你小说的看法 You want to hear more about your story.
你写得很棒 我是说你小说结构的组织方式 The way you structured the story--The tension built up...
积聚了张力 再到最后释放出来 ...beautifully and you released the energy in the last paragraph.
- 这真的非常不简单 - 谢谢 - That was very sophisticated. - Thanks.
我花了五天时间想找一个合适的词来形容那个丈夫 I spent five days searching for the word to describe the husband...
- 最后我想起了“冲犷” - “冲犷” - ...and came up with "appucious." - Appucious.
- 我查了下字典 可是没能查到 - 我自己编的 - I couldn't find it in the dictionary. - I made it up.
- 哦 是吗？ - 是的 我想用它来形容恰到好处 - Oh, really? - Yeah, it described it perfectly.
托尔斯泰是一套大餐 Tolstoy is a full meal.
屠格涅夫 我得说是一道奇妙的甜点 我是这样看他的特点的 Turgenev is a fabulous dessert. That's how I characterize him.

是吗？你认为激情真的可以持久吗？ Really? You think passion could actually be sustained?

《时代周刊》上说四年之内你就会失去 Time magazine said you lose your sexual attraction...
对另一个人的性趣 我想是这么说的 ...for the other person in four years, I think it was.
说得没错 是吗？ Time must know, right?
我有时候会想去巴黎生活会怎样 I sometimes think of living in Paris.
或者欧洲的其他地方 我觉得那一定很浪漫 Europe in general. I find that romantic.
我喜欢咖啡生活 我喜欢写作 也许租套小公寓什么的 I like cafe life. I'd like to write, get a flat.
听上去很不错 Sounds great.
在巴黎的街道上走走 就很有乐趣 Walking the streets is fun in Paris.
除非你在一个 下雨的午后 在巴黎被人亲吻过 Until you've been kissed on a rainy Parisian afternoon...
否则你就不能算被人吻过 ...you've never been kissed.
- 那你在雨中被人吻过吗？ - 我没被人吻过 是我亲吻别人 - And were you kissed? - I wasn't kissed, I was the kisser.
好吧 我在想 Okay, I was wondering...
- 我能不能读一下你的小说 - 你怎么知道我写了部小说？ - if I could read your novel. - How'd you know I had a novel?
上次我们一起吃饭时 你提到过 You mentioned it when we had lunch that time.

- 把你的外套给我 - 有趣而悲伤的短篇故事 - Let me take your coat. - ...funny stories.
那么你告诉我 楼下那家伙是怎么回事？ What were you going to tell me about that guy?
如果要我告诉你 我想最好还是从头说起 I better start from the beginning if I'm gonna tell you.
我父亲 有个同事 My father, he had this...this colleague who was...
- 他是他的生意伙伴 - 那家伙是你父亲的生意伙伴？ - his business partner. - This guy was his business partner?
这就是为什么我要从头说起的原因 后面我才会说到他 This is why I have to start from the beginning. It leads up to him.
那个我父亲的生意伙伴 他经常来我们家 My father's business partner, he'd come by the house fairly often.
有一天 他告诉我说 他爱上了我 And one day, he told me that he was in love with me, right?
不管怎么说 我有点受宠若惊 I was very flattered, to say the least.
他人很聪明 而且是单身 He was real bright and single.
我们很自然的开始了这段恋情 我们谁都没告诉 We started having this affair. Naturally, we told nobody.
我还有个朋友 简 她父母亲离婚了 I have this friend, Jane. Her parents were divorced.
她父亲 杰里 也对我产生了 疯狂的迷恋？ Her father, Jerry, developed this mad crush over me, right?
不久之后 我同时和他们两个人见面 And before long, I was seeing both these men.
这只让我感到痛苦 而不是幸福 Instead of being happy, I was just miserable.
我不能理清我的感情 所以我就去看心理医生 I couldn't get my feelings straight, so I went to an analyst.
我花了几个月的时间 来努力摆脱这些事情 I tried for a few months to work things out.
然后有一天 我的心理医生说 他打算终止对我的治疗 Then, one day, he said he was gonna stop treating me...
因为他觉得他不再适合治疗我了 ...because he felt it wasn't the thing to do...
因为他也爱上了我 ...since he was falling in love with me.
我对他也很有兴趣 你可以想象他相当的出色 I was taken with him. You can imagine, he's quite brilliant.
我开始和他约会 And I started seeing him.
是的 我和另外两位分了手 I did. I broke off from the other two.
可是我内心里有什么东西 告诉我他不可能是 Something inside me told me he couldn't...
一个很靠谱的人 更别说还是一个好的心理医生 ...be a very stable person, let alone a good analyst.
所以我从没让我和他之间的事情陷得太深 So I never really let things get too far with him.
然后有一天晚上我遇见了卡尔 Then one night I met Carl.
他非常可爱 而且他真的也非常喜欢我 He was very sweet and he really came on with me.
我重新恢复了理智 我对自己说： I came to my senses. I said to myself:
“我为什么要和这些老家伙们搅和在一起？” "What am I doing with these older men?"
所以我快刀斩乱麻 之后就一直与卡尔约会 So I cleaned up my act and I've been dating Carl.
可是正如你看到的 理查德那么冲动 他真的很难接受这一切 As you can see, Richard is so unstable. He really took it badly.
天呐！这些都足够你写出你的第一部长篇小说 和它的续篇 God! You've got material for your first novel and the sequel...
并给普契尼的歌剧作脚本了！太不可思议了 ...and an opera by Puccini here! This is incredible.
是啊 可你不认为我做得对吗？卡尔他很有趣 Yes, but don't you think I'm right? I mean, Carl, he's fun.
我凭什么要和一帮中年危机组合混在一起啊？ What the hell am I doing with the midlife crisis set?
我是说 他们是都很不错 都是成熟的男人 可是 They're all wonderful, rather accomplished men.
最后 我终于感觉到我好像只是迷惘的青春或未实现梦想 In the end, I felt like I was a symbol of lost youth...
的某种象征 我是不是太戏剧化了？ ...or unfulfilled dreams. Am I being dramatic?

他们在说一些富于知识性的话题 而你却在说什么豆腐和水晶球 They're making intellectual talk, and you're jerking off about tofu.
- 相信我 他们才是真的愚蠢透顶！ - 赶紧上车行吗 - Believe me, they're just stupid! - Get in the car.
- 我才不上车！ - 快上来 - I'm not going. - You are.
- 救命！ - 你给我闭嘴！ - Help! - Shut up, will you?

愚蠢的操蛋的狗屁朋友！ ...stupid fucking asshole friends!
上车！快上车！ Get in. Get in the car.
- 我的包去哪儿了？ - 我不知道 我才不管呢 - Where's my bag? - I don't know. It doesn't matter.
给你 上车去 Here. Get in the car.
真见鬼！我一定是失去理智了 你个疯子 Goddamn, I must have been out of my mind. You're crazy.
- 你喝多了喝醉了 开不了车了 - 闭嘴吧 我们走 - You're too drunk to drive. - Just shut up and let's go.
- 真是见鬼！ - 看看你都干了什么！ - Goddamn it! - Look what you've done now! Just--
快让我出去！赶紧让我出去！ Let me out of here! Let me out of here!
- 你能停下来吗？！ - 我才不停呢 - Will you just stop?! - I'm not stopping.
- 快点回车上去！ - 你个疯子！ - Get in the car! - You maniac!
你想找不自在？ Trying to be cute?
不！ No!
- 回他妈车上去！ - 不！ - Get in the car! - No!
- 噢 我简直不敢相信 - 不！救命！ - Oh, I don't believe this. - No! Help!
我这是在干嘛？回车上去 你个毛头小孩！ What am I doing? Get in the car, you infant!
回他妈车上去！ Get in the fucking car!
上帝啊！ Christ!
为什么你与迈克尔可以有高潮 而与你丈夫却不行？ You had an orgasm with Michael and not with your husband?

我思绪万千 想法一个接着一个 你会笑的 My mind gets racing with thoughts. You'd laugh.
- 我的心理活动有点过于激烈了 - 比如说什么？ - I get so mentally hyperactive. - Like what?
我想我喜欢迈克尔跟我做 I liked what Michael was doing to me...
感觉跟杰克很不一样 他更加温柔 ...and it felt different from Jack. More gentle.
让我更加兴奋 And...more exciting.
迈克尔与杰克很不一样 How different Michael was from Jack.
他对生活的认识更加地透彻 How much deeper his vision of life was.
我想 And I thought...
迈克尔像只刺猬 ...Michael was a hedgehog...
而杰克像只狐狸 ...and Jack was a fox.
然后我想 And then I thought...
朱迪像只狐狸 ..Judy was a fox...
而加贝像只刺猬 ...and Gabe was a hedgehog.
我想起了我认识的所有人 And I thought about all the people I knew...
他们中谁像是刺猬 ...and which were hedgehogs...
谁又像是狐狸 ...and which were foxes.
艾尔·西蒙 一个朋友 像只刺猬 Al Simon, a friend, was a hedgehog.
他妻子詹妮 也像只刺猬 His wife, Jenny, was a hedgehog.
而辛迪·萨尔坎像只狐狸 And Cindy Salkind was a fox.
路·帕特里诺像只刺猬 And Lou Patrino was a hedgehog.
我感觉有那么一会儿 你有点 I had the impression that at times...
你有点心不在焉 ...you weren't quite into it.
不 没有！ No. No!
我是说 I mean....
你知道 You know....
我告诉过你 我和杰克之间的问题 I told you the problems I've had with Jack.
不！ No!
我感觉很好 It was wonderful.
噢天 我伤到了你的感情 是吗？ I've hurt your feelings, right?
我不想让你有错误的印象 我很喜欢 Don't get the wrong impression. I loved it.
我也是 Me too.
刚开始结婚的时候 我曾非常的激动 I used to get excited when we got married.
然而随着时间的推移 那样的感觉不知怎的就没有了 Somewhere along the line, it slipped away.
还好啦 It's okay.
什么还好？我没有反应？ What? That I'm not responsive?
我们的感觉真的不错 We had a nice experience.
我们有两种不同的 不错的感觉 We had two separate, nice experiences.
- 但是感觉还是不错的 - 他们各自分离 - But they were nice. - They were separate.
- 现在我明白为什么你丈夫那么抓狂了 - 非常有趣 - No wonder your husband went crazy. - Very funny.
别这样 莎利 Oh, come on, Sally.
- 你饿吗？ - 他这么说是想改变话题 - You hungry? - He said, changing the subject.
别说了 Oh, stop it.
那是什么？ What was that?
- 这一带发生过一系列的入室盗窃 - 你把警报器开着吗？ - There's been some burglaries. - Is the alarm on?
那就报警 Well, call the police.
- 你是谁？ - 你是谁？ - Who are you? - Who are you?
- 杰克 我的天！ - 你把我家的门锁给换了 - Jack, my God! - You changed the lock on my own house.
- 他是谁啊？ - 这是我丈夫 - Who's this? - This is my husband.
- 这不关你的事 请你立即离开 - 我不想离开 - None of your business. Leave. - I don't want to.
- 你没事吧？你没事吧？ - 我没事吧？ - Are you all right? - Am I all right?
你他妈谁啊？他住这吗？怎么回事？ Who are you? Is he living here?
- 你先别生气！ - 他和你上床了吗？ - Don't get upset. - Is he fucking you?
- 这里是我的家 哥们！ - 别弄得让人难堪！ - This is my house, pal. - Let's not get ugly.
我来跟他谈 上楼去吧 I can talk to him. Go upstairs.
- 他要去哪里？ - 求你了 我知道怎么说 - Where's he going? - Please. I know.
- 你要到我们的床上去？ - 这不再是我们的床了 杰克 - You going up to our bed? - It's not our bed anymore.
你听好了 你需要来点黑咖啡 然后 走 Listen, you need some black coffee. Then just go.
莎利 你听着 我想搬回来 Listen, I want to come back.
- 你喝醉了 是啊 - 噢 拜托 我的生活真他妈一团糟 - You're drunk. - Oh, please. My life is such a mess.
这不是讨论这个的时候 你还是走吧 This is not the place to discuss this. Please go.
- 这里他妈的是我的家！ - 这里他妈的是我的家！ - This is my fucking house. - This is my fucking house.
这里现在是我的家 This is my house now.
- 我想重新来过 - 不 那不可能 - I want to start over again. - That's not possible.
莎利 要我帮忙吗？ Sally, can I help?
- 拜托 迈克尔 - 你能不能躲远点？这和他有什么关系？ - Oh, please. - Would you get lost? What is this?
- 这简直是太荒唐了！ - 我可以应付得了 - This is ridiculous! - I can handle this.
- 噢天哪！我不敢相信！ - 你不用相信 走吧 - I don't believe this. - You don't have to. Go.
你 听着 天哪 我 You.... Listen. God, I....
这事不能全赖我 我们两都有份 This was not all my fault. It takes two of us--
- 我从来没说过这些都是你的错 - 你真是难以相处！ - I didn't say it was all your fault. - You're so hard to live with!
你总是让我有芒刺在背的感觉 看见没？棒极了！ I would just break my back all the time. See? Perfect.
你想让我怎么说啊？你说呢？ What do you want me to say?
我们的婚姻满满的问题 这我知道 Our marriage was full of problems. I know that.
有些是我的错 有些是你的错 Some were my fault, some were yours.
你对我撒谎 你背叛了我 You lied to me, you cheated on me--
你为什么不干脆跑上楼去？ Why don't you run upstairs--?
- 房间里有个陌生人啊！ - 他知道 - There's a stranger here. - He knows.
他什么都知道 这真是太棒了 He knows. Swell. That's perfect too.
你倒是给我看看 有哪一对夫妻会没有问题 You show me one couple that doesn't have problems.
这很难 每个人都会有困难的时候？ It's tough. Everybody has a tough time, you know?
- 和你一起住的那个人怎么样了？ - 那完全是个灾难 - What about the one you lived with? - That's total bullshit.
- 可是 我遇到我喜欢的人了 - 什么？你说什么？ - Well, I've met someone I like. - What? You what?
我遇到我喜欢的人了 I met someone I like.
你怎么不想想 我们在一起生活的那些年？ What about all the years we had together?
是啊 Well...
你知道 如果你觉得需要 你会毫不吝惜地将它们一笔勾销 ...you had no problem wiping them out when it suited you.
可我不知道该怎么做 我不知道还能做什么 我不知道该怎么做 But I--I didn't know what else to do.
不！我现在没法讨论这个 求你了！走吧！ No! No! I can't discuss this now. Please! Go!
- 你看 你明天就会感觉好多了 - 明天我会感觉更糟糕 - You'll feel better tomorrow. - I'm gonna feel like shit tomorrow.
该死！ Oh, shit.
我需要和杰克谈谈 Hi. I need to speak to Jack.
- 你怎么能就那样把我晾在那儿了？ - 我告诉过你 - You're gonna leave me out there? - I told you--
我这辈子还从来没有被人这么对待过！ I have never been treated this way before!
- 看看你如何毁了一个人的生活 - 那就去看心理医生好了 - Perfect how you ruin a life. - Then see a psychiatrist.
- 我需要去看心理医生了 你个混蛋！ - 你也过来！ - I need to see a shrink, slimebag! - Come on in.
这和我们每个人都有关系 This is about all of us.
- 我们在这里已经没有任何秘密了 - 真扯淡！ - We don't have any secrets here. - Bullshit.
- 我从没见过一个天蝎座是这样 - 能不能别再扯那破玩意儿？ - I never met a Scorpio who wasn't - Will you stop?!
我要睡觉去了 出去！你们俩都出去！ I'm going to bed. Get out. Both of you!
到底有什么大不了的啊？ What's the big deal?
我是做了几件错事 可那真就无可挽回了吗？ So I did some things wrong. Does it have to be irreversible?
内心狂怒而错乱 越来越忧郁和困惑 The heart raged, grew melancholy and confused...
目的究竟是什么？为了说清楚何等蠢笨的策略？为了繁殖？ ...and toward what end? To articulate what nitwit strategy? Procreation?
这让他明白了这事中的一些事实 有数目多得令人难以想象的精子 It told him something. How mind-boggling numbers of sperm...
争先恐后地抢夺一个卵子 而不是反过来 ...competed for a single egg, not the other way around.
男人当然会不分时间场合 与无论多少个女人做爱 Men would make love with any number of women...
包括完全陌生的女人 而女人则更加有选择性 ...even total strangers, while females were selective.
她们在每一个情形中 仅仅满足一个小小的卵子的需求 They were catering to the demands of one small egg.
而每个男人有成百上千万 疯狂的精子 它们奔走呼号： While males had millions of frantic sperms screaming:
“让我们出去 让我们出去！” "Let us out, let us out!"
这有点类似在私人广告栏上登出的那些令人叫绝的征婚广告 It was like personal ads.
如果她们还嫌要求不够多 就附加一条“必须是非吸烟者” Dozens of requirements followed by, "Non-smokers only."
费尔德曼渴望见到一位具有这种性格的迷人女人： Feldman longed to meet an attractive woman with this personality:
与他相当的敏锐的幽默感 与他相当的对运动的爱好 A sense of humor equal to his, a love of sports equal to his...
与他相当的对古典音乐的热爱 特别是对 ...a love of music equal to his and a love of...
巴赫和温暖气候的偏好 简而言之 他要找的就是美女版的他自己 ...Bach and balmy climates. In short, himself as a pretty woman.
佩普金结婚了 过着温暖的家庭生活 Pepkin married and led a warm, domestic life.
平静但是沉闷 纳普是个浪荡子 Placid, but dull. Knapp was a swinger.
他逃避婚姻的羁绊 一周和五个不同的女人上床： He eschewed nuptial ties and bedded different women:
学生、主妇、护士、演员、医生、店员 Students, housewives, nurses, actresses, a doctor, a salesgirl
她们都向纳普叉开双腿 they all held Knapp between their legs.
派珀金表面上平静忠诚 内心却很羡慕纳普 Pepkin, from the calm of his fidelity, envied Knapp.
而纳普也很羡慕派珀金 Knapp, lonely beyond belief, envied Pepkin.
蜜月结束之后会怎么样？欲望真的会随着时间而增长吗？ What happened after the honeymoon? Did desire grow...
还是相互熟悉了以后 会导致伴侣们渴望有其他的情人？ ...or did familiarity make partners want other lovers?
我们被灌输的浪漫观念会不会只是一个神话而已？ Was the notion of ever-deepening romance a myth...
还有什么同步的高潮？ ...along with simultaneous orgasm?
里夫金和他妻子唯一一次体验到同步的高潮 The only time Rifkin and his wife experienced one...
是在法官递给他们离婚判决的时候 ...was when they were granted their divorce.
不管怎么说 最终还是不要对生活抱有过多的指望为好 Maybe in the end, the idea was not to expect too much out of life.
这书写得太奇妙了 So the book was wonderful.
它十分有趣 富有想象力 而且动人 Entertaining, imaginative and moving....
你不用说这样的话 你可以严苛一点 老实说 You don't have to say this. You can be critical. Be honest.
你把那些痛苦写得很有趣 You make suffering so funny.
我是说那些卑微而迷茫的 灵魂 东奔西突 The lost souls running around.
真有意思 因为我对这本书 不知道该怎么办才好 真的很难说 That's funny. I've had so much trouble with the book.
- 你让其他人读过这书吗？ - 严格说没有 - Has anybody else read it? - Not exactly, you know.
我很高兴你有这样的感觉 我感到大受鼓舞 I'm so thrilled you feel this way. I can't tell you how encouraged I am.
你对它的感觉让我很高兴 Your feelings about it are really...
不过你对我写的东西情有独钟 所以我不应该太激动了 But you are a sucker for my work. I shouldn't get too excited.
我很客观的 我是说 我的确很喜欢你写作的方式 I'm objective and, yes, I do love the way you write.
- 我有些意见 可总体来说 - 我肯定你可以提很多意见 - I had some criticisms - I'm sure you did.
那是什么意见呢？ What were they?
没什么特别重要的 总的来说读起来相当愉快 Nothing serious. The whole thing was just a delight.
真的吗？你知道 我和这本书简直可以说是一种爱恨交加的关系 Really? I've had such a love-hate relationship with this book.
- 噢我的天！这不可能啊 - 怎么回事？ - Oh my God, this can't be - What?
我想我把你的东西落在车里了 I think I left it in the cab.
你开玩笑！落在出租车里了？你确定吗？ You're kidding! In a taxicab? Are you sure?
我不敢相信 我对你做了什么！不过 司机是个印度人 I can't believe I did this to you! Okay, he was Indian.
你把它忘在印度人的出租车里了？ You left it in an Indian's cab?
不 他是亚美尼亚人 No. He was Armenian.
那是唯一的一份 That was the only copy.
- 我知道 - 你一定是开玩笑 - I know. - You must be joking.
- 哈高皮杨？ - 哈高皮杨先生 哈高皮杨大师 还是什么？ - Hargopian? - Mr. Hargopian, Swami Hargopian, what?
“小心有狗”
我完全崩溃了 我想死的心都有了 I was totally crushed. I wanted to die.
这是发生过的最糟的事情 This was the worst thing that happened.
- 但你还是为了她而强作镇静 - 因为那可怜的女孩失魂落魄 - You put up a false front. - The poor girl was wrecked.
我想让她摆脱窘境 I was trying to bail her out.
所以不管怎么说 这本书都对你十分重要 So this book was very meaningful to you despite what you said.
- 我想是的 - 那位年轻的女士 莱恩怎么看？ - I guess so. - And the young woman, Rain?
她的认可对我来说意义重大 Her approbation was very significant to me.
为什么她的褒奖让你那么高兴？ Why was her encouragement so pleasing?
你妻子也非常喜欢它 而你却对她的意见置若罔闻 Your own wife liked it very much and you gave her a hard time.
我不知道 也许我感觉到莱恩对我的某种友善 对我来说 I don't know. There was some kind of rapport I felt here that was...
意味着什么 ...meaningful.
有人找到你那信封了 Somebody found your envelope.
他们现在在家里等你们 They're waiting at the house now.
这太弗洛伊德了 It's-- It's so Freudian.
那是谁？ What is?
整个事情 把小说忘在了车里等等的 The whole thing, leaving the novel in the cab.
别傻了 人人都会碰到这种事的 Don't be silly. It could happen to anybody.
不 我想也许这意味着什么 No, I think maybe it meant something.
- 比如说什么？ - 嗯 - Like what? - Well...
…我不知道 也许 我可能感觉受到了威胁 ...I don't know. Maybe I could have been threatened.
- 受到了我的书的威胁？ - 是的 - Threatened by my book? - Yeah.
- 我是说我的天性非常好强 - 这太荒谬了 - I'm very competitive by nature. - That's absurd.
为什么？因为我年轻 又是个女的？ Why, because I'm a young female?
你别生气啊 我站在你这边 Don't get angry. I'm in your corner.
- 我是你最忠实的拥趸 - 是啊 - I'm your biggest fan. - Yeah.
我在想也许我可能觉得受到书中写的某些事物的威胁 I just think I could have been threatened by certain things.
比如说什么？ Like what?
某些对待女性的态度 还有你对生活的看法 Some of the attitudes towards women and your ideas on life.
- 可你对我说你喜欢这书 - 是的 我是很喜欢 - You told me you loved the book. - I do. I do love it.
- 那你的意见是什么？ - 没有 - What were your criticisms? - Nothing.
告诉我你的意见 Tell me your criticisms.
我想我是对你的某些态度有点失望 I was a little disappointed with some of your attitudes.
比如说什么？什么态度？态度怎么了？ Like what? What attitudes? With what?
你描写的那种人们很随意地就可以有婚外情的方式 The way people just casually have affairs like that.
这本书没有为婚外情开脱 我只是为了喜剧效果而稍事夸张 The book doesn't condone affairs. I'm exaggerating for comedy.
难道真的我们只能在持续的不满和城郊的烦闷中作出选择吗？ Are our choices really between chronic dissatisfaction and suburban drudgery?
我是适度的夸张化 因为我是试图表明 I'm deliberately distorting it. I'm trying to show...
婚姻不是那么简单的事情 ...how hard it is to be married.
可你应该谨慎一些 别像那样 把什么事情都弄成了微不足道 You have to be careful not to trivialize things like that.
天哪 我希望我没有 Jesus, I hope I haven't.
还有你的主人公对女性的看法 The lead character's views on women...
很落后 很浅薄 ...is so retrograde, so shallow.
什么？你跟我说这是本伟大的书 What? You told me it was a great book.
我没说过它很伟大 I never said great, I said it's...
很有才华 很鲜活 ...brilliant and it's alive.
我们不是在争论它是否有才华 We're not arguing about whether it's brilliant or not.
《意志的胜利》是部了不起的电影 但你鄙视它的意识形态 Triumph of the Will was a great movie, but you despise its ideology.
所以你是鄙视我的思想？ So you despise my ideas?
不 我没有鄙视 这个例子不太恰当 No, I don't despise them. That example was--
作为一个思考者 难道在你的潜意识里 Isn't it beneath you as a thinker...
没有想让你的主人公浪费那么多感情上的能量 ...to allow your lead character to waste so much energy...
沉湎于与一个女人的那种疯狂的关系吗？ ...obsessing over a psychotic woman...
尽管你把她幻想成既有超强的性能力 又极富灵感 ...that you fantasize as powerfully sexual and inspired...
但她实际上却是令人怜悯地病态 ...when she was pitifully sick.
我可不需要一个20岁的傻冒给我上写作课 I don't need a lecture on writing from a 20-year-old twit.
是你问我能不能读一下我的书 你告诉我你很喜欢 You asked to read my book, you said you loved it--
- 我是很喜欢 - 然后你把它忘在了出租车里 - And I do. - You leave it in a taxicab.
你在那儿哭 我在那儿安慰你 可突然之间你却冲我开起了火 You're weeping, I'm consoling you and you turn on me.
好吧 是啊 我一定触痛你的神经了 Okay. Well, I must have hit a nerve.
噢 是啊 Well, yeah. You know....
我决不想成为你的男朋友 他一定觉得像是在炼狱 I'd hate to be your boyfriend. He must go through hell.
是我自作自受 Well, I'm worth it.
- 你们找到我们家没太大困难吧？ - 没有 很容易找 - Any trouble finding the house? - No, it was very easy.
请进 这边走 Please. Step this way.
很高兴你们找到了这里 I'm so glad you found the house.
- 你真是太好了！ - 没事 - This was so nice. - It's fine.
我打开车门上车 那里有个信封 I jumped in the cab and wound up sitting on it.
你真是太好了 让我给你些 That's so nice of you. Let me give you some--
- 不 这没事的 - 真的 我无法 - No, it's okay. - Really, I can't--
- 我想请你们俩留下喝杯咖啡 - 不 你真是 - I want you to stay for coffee. - No, you're--
- 我不想被拒绝 - 她不想 - I won't take no for - She won't.
- 那我们就喝点咖啡吧 - 很好 - We'll have coffee. - Okay, good.
- 我很抱歉 - 是我该抱歉 这是我的错 - I'm sorry - I'm sorry, it was my fault.
这完全是我的错 It was totally
罗斯先生 要是你不介意我说的 你自己也有个非常漂亮的女儿 If you don't mind my saying, you have a beautiful daughter.
是的 我承认 她知道我们在出租车里的争论 I admit it, her argument in the cab...
我觉得很有意思 那让我觉得她很有意思 ...I found attractive. It attracted me to her.
她不只是那种被动型的 对你崇拜的学生之类的 That she was not a passive, worshipful pupil.
那让我心里面感觉到了一些东西 Something in me sensed...
并不是说我就想要怎么样 当然我也没怎么样 ...not that I'd do anything about it...
我确实因此有了某些白日梦 ...I had, you know, certain daydreams about it.
不到两个星期之后 杰克和莎利重归于好 A week later, Jack and Sally reunited.
为了庆祝 他们与加贝和朱迪共进了晚餐 This was celebrated over dinner.
你不可能就这样把多年的亲密关系一笔勾销 You can't just wipe out years of closeness.
你以为你能做到 你没有看到根基 但它们就在那儿 You think you can. But the roots are there.
我认为有的人天生就做不成单身汉 I think some people are just not meant to be single.
人人都会搞砸 没人是十全十美的 Everybody screws up. The question is...
就看你有没有从中汲取教训？ ...do you learn from it?
我认为对两人关系的真正考验在于你如何经受住危机 I think the true test is how you weather a crisis.
当事事顺利的时候 人人看上去都很不错 Everyone looks great when everything's going smoothly.
这太好了 要是你们能那么成熟 真是太好了 It's great. If you can be that mature, it's great.
不是这么说的 我认为你最终会开始 It's not that. You just start...
考虑哪些事情是最重要的 ...thinking about priorities.
你能讨论多长时间体形健身和星宿十二宫呢？ How long can you discuss physical fitness and the zodiac?
你和那个叫迈克尔的 也没什么结果 得了吧 And this Michael character was no bargain.
- 迈克尔怎么样了？ - 我不知道 他病了 - How was Michael? - I don't know, he was sick.
我给他打过电话 他听上去很糟糕 I gave him a call and he did sound very terrible.
你很关心他 我想我真的对他来了个釜底抽薪 I guess I really pulled the rug out from under him.
尽管 他真正的兴趣是朱迪 Although his real crush is on Judy.
- 不是想冒犯你 加贝 - 不会 - Not to offend you, Gabe. - I'm not.
我喜欢有人对朱迪抱有好感 I love it when someone likes Judy.
加贝总是需要靠别的什么来证实他的感情 特别是与我有关的 Gabe needs confirmation of his feelings when it comes to me.
你这样说真是太糟糕了 That's a terrible thing to say.
如果我是你 我一定会多长个心眼的 加贝 I'd watch it if I were you, Gabe.
他在谈到朱迪时 语气总是显得很深沉 He always talks about Judy in hushed tones.
我认为是你写的那些诗 给他留下了深刻的印象 I think those poems you wrote impressed him.
为他俩的美满婚姻祝福 Here's to a good marriage.
- 两个人最终能指望的也就是这个了 - 说得好 - The best two people can hope for. - Absolutely.
- 我不知道你还在玩一点诗歌 - 我以为你不会感兴趣 - I didn't know about the poetry. - I didn't think you'd care.
- 唔 为什么不会？ - 因为 - Well, why not? - Because.
给你看我写的东西 我会很尴尬 I'd be embarrassed to show you my stuff.
- 为什么？ - 因为你总是很刻薄 - Why? - You're so hard on everything.
你在说什么啊？ What are you talking about?
- 你特别特别喜欢品头论足的 - 我只是喜欢诗歌 - You're very, very judgmental. - I like poetry.
我对莎士比亚、拜伦、和 T.S.艾略特都很着迷 I'm crazy about Shakespeare and Byron and T.S. Eliot.
可我的东西 还没好到那个地步 Well, my stuff isn't quite that good yet.
- 可我会给你作一个客观的评价 - 我不想要什么客观的评价 - I'd give an objective evaluation. - I don't want an objec-tion.
我只希望能有多一点的支持 多一点的宽容 I'd like something a little more supportive and generous.
- 你从你办公室的那个角色那里得到了？ - 他不是一个角色 - From that character in your office? - He's not a character.
- 你是爱上他了吗？ - 没有！为什么？就因为我给他看了我写的诗？ - Are you in love with him? - No! Why, because I show him my poems?
- 我今天见到里奇医生了 - 在哪儿？ - I saw Dr. Ritchie today. - Oh, where?
我重新去作心理治疗了 I went back into psychotherapy.
你根本不需要心理治疗 特别是由她给你治疗！ You don't need psychotherapy, and certainly not with her!
你只是觉得受到了她的威胁 Why? Because she's postmodern?
她居然写论文声称 萨宾族的女人故意让罗马人将她们掳走 Anyone who thinks the Sabine women had it coming to them--
不是这么回事 That's not it.
- 我没有调情！ - 别跟我说你没有调情 - I don't flirt. - Don't tell me that.
因为我正好看到你了 I've seen you do it.
你换上了完全是另一个人的个性 You put on a different personality.
- 噢 你疯了！ - 你装作想要那些你根本受不了的东西 - You're crazy. - You pretend to want things you don't.
- 比如？ - 比如说搬到欧洲去住 - Like? - Going to Europe.
那只是你的调情手段而已 你离开曼哈顿岛之后活不过48小时 That's flirting. You couldn't survive off the island of Manhattan.
在我们结婚时 是你没有如实展现你自己 You misrepresented yourself to me.
你这话是什么意思？ What do you mean by that?
就像你已经有了个孩子 说那已经足够了 Like you had one child then decided that was it.
- 我已经不是以前的我了 - 这就是我们的关系出问题的原因 - I'm not the same person I was. - That's why relationships go sour.
- 是啊 你讨厌变化 - 变化就等于死亡 - You hate change. - Change equals death.
这算什么鬼话啊！你真会扯淡！ Bullshit. That's bullshit!
也许你的学生认为它很有洞察力 但实际它毫无意义 Maybe your students think it's insightful, but it means nothing.
生命就是由变化构成的 Life is made of change.
要是你没有变化 你就不会成长 你只会枯萎 If you don't change, you just shrivel up.
我不想做爱 你总是在最奇怪的时机想到性 I don't want to. You get sexual at the oddest times.
你利用性来表达任何其他的感情除了爱 You use sex to express every emotion but love.
你被我吸引 You were attracted to me...
这是为什么 我让你想起了哈丽特 ...because in some way, I reminded you of Harriet.
可是后来我让你失望了 因为我太普通了 But I disappointed you because I was too normal.
我被你吸引是因为你很稳定 你不疯狂 I liked you because you were decent and not crazy.
- 是啊 可你觉得那太无趣了 - 不！ - And you found that too boring. - No...
因为到头来 你和哈丽特一样疯狂 尽管你是以你那平静的方式 ...as it turns out you were as crazy as her.
- 你瞧 我确实让你想起了哈丽特 - 不 - So I did remind you of Harriet. - No...
我的第六感告诉我 你也很不稳定 ...I had a feeling you were unstable.
可从表面上看 你好像很稳定 On the surface you were...
但现在我们有问题了 你变得不稳定 ...but now that we're having problems, you're not.
这对我来说都很清楚 This is all very clear to me.
有天晚上我们俩都睡不着 还记得吗？ we both couldn't sleep one night, remember...
我们看到电视正在放《野草莓》 ...and we found Wild Strawberries on cable...
我们整晚没睡 就在那里看 还记得吗？那时真的很棒 ...we stayed up all night watching it? That was great.
还有次我们要赴我同事的晚餐会 我们走在第五大道上 We were going to the faculty dinner and we were on Fifth Avenue...
那是个冰冷漆黑的夜晚 我们在城里走着 ...on an icy black night. We were walking downtown.
突然间 我们决定不去赴宴了 Suddenly we decided not to go to the dinner...
多么美丽的夜晚啊 我们走进了中央公园 地上满是积雪 ...it was such a beautiful night. We walked into Central Park.
你可以看到满天的星星 你穿那件黑裙子真漂亮 You could see every star. You were so beautiful in that black dress.
- 别这样 - 为什么？ - Don't do that. - Why not?
因为已经结束了 我们俩都清楚 Because it's over and we both know it.
是吗？ Do we?
所有那些东西 它们只是记忆而已 All that stuff--Those memories, they're just memories.
那都是多年以前的事了 They're from years gone by.
它们只是一些片段 They're isolated moments...
它们并不代表一切 ...they don't tell the whole story.
几天之后 加贝从公寓搬到了一家旅馆 Several days later, Gabe moved into a hotel.
我没有完全向加贝说实话 I wasn't being totally honest with Gabe.
因为我不想伤害他 但我确实知道我想要什么 Because I didn't want to hurt him. But I knew what I wanted.
我爱上了迈克尔 我只是想获得去追求的自由 I was in love with Michael. I wanted to be free to...
而不是撒谎或鬼鬼祟祟什么的 ...pursue that and not have to lie or sneak around or anything.
我怎么可能对朱迪百分之百地诚实呢？ How could I be 100% honest with Judy?
我觉得我爱她 我不想伤害她 I loved her and I didn't want to hurt her.
所以我该说什么呢？ What am I gonna say?
说我自己已经感觉 被一个20岁的女孩子迷上了？ That I'm becoming infatuated with a 20-year-old?
说我这么多年下来什么教训都没学到？ That I see myself sleepwalking into a mess?
那你为什么不就此打住呢？ Then why didn't you stop yourself?
在我的婚姻中 我渴望有些东西 但是我没有得到 莱恩 There was something in my marriage that I was not getting. Rain--
- 她身上有某些令我激动的东西 - 莱恩有男朋友 - There was excitement there. - Rain had a boyfriend.
我知道 这一切都不对劲 I know. Everything about it was wrong.
这并不会阻止我 That did not deter me.
要是有什么事像以往一样 也许会很有意思 If anything, as usual, there was something interesting.
那么到底是怎么回事呢？你有自我毁灭的倾向？ So, what is it? You have a self-destructive streak?
我不知道 我的内心 I don't know. My heart...
不会按逻辑行事 ...does not know from logic.
喂？ Hello?
迈克尔 求你了 Oh, Michael, please.
我不可能一直谈论这个 I can't keep discussing this.
这是我觉得我必须作出的决定 不 是我想作的 It was a decision I needed to make--No. Wanted to make.
很抱歉 我不想再纠缠这件事了 I said I'm sorry. I can't keep discussing this.
不 我不想去喝一杯 我得挂了 No. I don't want to have a drink. I have to go.
是你自己给自己找难受！我得挂了 Well, you make it hard! I have to go.
一两个星期过去了 朱迪帮着迈克尔克服失去莎利的痛苦 Later, Judy helped Michael get over the loss of Sally.
来了！ Here we go.
- 噢 天哪 朱迪！ - 不错吧？ - Heavens, Judy. - Pretty good, huh?
那是我的 你的在哪儿？ That's mine, where's yours?
我很高兴那不是真的 I am so happy that's not true.
谢谢 Thanks.
好了 我给你倒了酒 干杯！ Right, shall I be mum? Cheers.
- 今天你真是盛情款待 - 你别客气 - It's a real treat. - You're welcome.
- 你妻子在哪？她来了吗？ - 我们已经不在一起了 - Where's your wife? - We're not together anymore.
你们这些作家啊！ Oh, you writers.
生日快乐！ Happy birthday!
你见过那女的杰西卡吗？ Did you meet that woman Jessica?
没见过 不过我碰到了安吉拉 No, I met Angela, though.
- 你们看到那个了吗？ - 什么？ - Did you see that? - What?
太不可思议了 现在这个季节 It's incredible, this time of year.
我喜欢暴风雨 Oh, I love storms.
电视上说我们会被卡罗来纳飓风的尾巴扫到 They said we were supposed to get some of that hurricane.
- 现在雨下得越来越大了 - 太合适了 我就是在飓风中出生的 - It's really coming down heavy. - How fitting. I was born in a storm.
这太危险了 It's dangerous.
她看上去很棒 She looks great.
她21岁了！这绝对令人难以置信 She's 21! It's absolutely incredible.
- 我们的小莱纳 嗯？ - 我都快要55了 - Our littler Rainer. - I'm gonna be 55.
到六月份 就是我们结婚25周年纪念 It's our 25th wedding anniversary in June.
别担心 这里有烛光给你们 Don't worry. We got some light in here for you.
我记得我买过的 I know I paid that bill.
把这些蜡烛拿到外面去 Take some of these candles out there.
我不敢相信 我记得我有个便携灯 I can't believe this. I know I had a flashlight.
我的生日真是太倒霉了 现在一片漆黑 Oh, this is just my luck on my own birthday. It goes black.
在烛光下 你看上去真漂亮 You look very pretty in candlelight.
你看见那闪电没有？ Oh, did you see the lightning flashes?
我估计天气会更糟 我不知道大家到时候怎么回家 It's supposed to get worse. How's everybody gonna get home now?
生日快乐 Happy birthday.
我不想在另一个房间给你 因为 I didn't want to give it to you in the other room because...
这可能会引起误解 所以 ...it could be misconstrued, so...
- 我一直把它藏在我的上衣里 - 很漂亮 - I've been hiding it in my jacket. - Very nice.
太可爱了！ That's lovely!
太美了！ That is so pretty.
生日快乐 Happy birthday.
- 为什么这会引起误解？ - 因为这看起来有点搞笑 - Why would it be misconstrued? - It would just look funny.
因为你有男朋友 Because you have a boyfriend.
人们会不理解的 People wouldn't understand.
这看上去一点都不搞笑 它很漂亮 It wouldn't look funny at all. It's beautiful.
- 你真的知道我想要什么吗？ - 什么？ - You know what I'd really like? - What?
一个美好的生日之吻 A nice birthday kiss.
- 你想要一个生日之吻？ - 是的 - You want a birthday kiss? - Yeah.
生日快乐！ Happy birthday.
- 这就完了？ - 我真的醉了 因为这可不好玩 - That's all? - I'm drunk. This is not funny.
你什么意思？这就是生日之吻 What do you mean? That was a birthday kiss.
你想要我怎么做？我把舌头伸进你的喉咙？ You want me to stick my tongue down your throat?
得了吧 你知道我什么意思 Come on, you know what I mean.
你男朋友就在隔壁房间 You got a boyfriend in the other room.
我知道那不是认真的 我们不是认真的 I know. It's not serious. It isn't serious.
这太疯狂了 我甚至不应该有这样的谈话 Listen, I can't even have this conversation.
倒不是说我没设想过这个 Not that I haven't thought about it.
我想过 这有点太疯狂了 我 I have, but it's just too crazy. I--
这太令人失望了 It's so disappointing.
为什么失望？你已经有男朋友了 It isn't disappointing. You got a boyfriend.
我不可能有比这更加浪漫的时刻了 You couldn't ask for a more romantic moment.
我是说 这是我的21岁生日 I mean, it's my 21 st birthday, and...
我们正处在暴风雨当中 外面电闪雷鸣 ...we're in a storm, the lights are out and there's...
- 风雨交加 正横扫过纽约的天际 - 别这样对我！ - the rain sweeping the skyline. - Why do I hear...
现在报警接受价值5万美元的 ...$50,000 worth of psychotherapy...
- 心理治疗吗？ - 真奇妙 对不起 - ...dialing 911 now? - It's magical. I'm sorry.
对不起 我也有点喝得太多了 I'm sorry. I've had a little too much to drink too.
- 我也是 我喝了 - 我只是 - Me too. I had... - I'm just...
你想要亲吻？你想要一个真正的亲吻？ You want to kiss? I mean, you want a real kiss?
你想要一个实实在在的 专业的亲吻 是吗？ You want an actual, professional kiss?
- 是的 - 嘴对嘴 - Yes. - Both lips, upper and lower.
- 一起来？ - 是的 我真的想过 - At once? - I've thought about it.
- 我可以告诉你 - 过来 - I gotta tell you. - Come here.
我能想到的只是 我希望闪电不会击穿阁楼 I was just hoping that lightning can't come into a penthouse...
因为我以前从没在阁楼呆过 外面电闪雷鸣 ...because it was tumultuous outside. It was crashing all around and...
当时的情景 使人不由自主地 我是说 ...the scene had to be played. I mean, I was...
她非常可爱 我想亲吻她 外面大雨滂沱 ...I wanted to kiss her, it was pouring...
我在想 闪电随时都有可能击穿玻璃 ...but I figured, any second the lightning...
打到房间里来 那样的话 ...would come right into the apartment and...
我就会死掉 ...and that I would die.
我不想一起过星期天 因为我需要独处的时间 I don't want to spend Sunday together, because I need time alone!
- 那就一个人好了！我又不会逼迫你 - 是的 你会逼迫我 - Be alone! I'm not pushing you. - Yes. Yes, you are, in that...
以你特有的那种平静而坚定的方式 用你的话说就是“支持” ...quiet, steady way of yours. "Supportive," is your word.
“理解”求你别再如此深刻地理解我了！ "Understanding." Stop being so understanding.
我仍然经常想起莎利 I still have feelings for Sally.
我想我从来没有 对你产生过那样的感情 Feelings I don't think I could ever have for you.
天哪！你要去哪？见鬼 Oh, God! Where are you--? Oh, for--
- 我很抱歉！ - 我永远也不想再见到你！ - I'm sorry. - I never want to see you again!
- 我需要你！ - 很好 你让我知道了你真实的感受 - I need you. - It's good to know how you feel.
我很高兴你让我知道 I'm glad to know.
- 你太以自我为中心了！ - 我知道 - You are so self-centered! - I know.
那些话不是我真正的意思 I didn't mean those things.
- 那你为什么对我说？ - 我很困惑 - Why did you say them? - I'm confused.
- 天哪 我绝不会再伤害你了 - 放屁！ - I never want to hurt you. - Bullshit!
没有放屁 我配不上你 我很抱歉 求你了！ It's not bullshit. I don't deserve you. I'm sorry. Please!
- 你把所有窗户都关好了吗？ - 我正在想 - Did you shut the windows? - I was thinking...
我们修补好了窝棚上 那个漏雨的小洞 真是件好事情 ...it's a good thing we fixed that leak in the den.
经过了这么多年 我依然害怕打雷 和任何大的动静 Even now I'm still scared of thunder. Any loud noise.
我们绝对是疯子 要是这种天气 还去剧院把那两张戏票花掉 We would have been nuts to use those theatre tickets.
我们路上会一直打滑的 We'd have been swerving all over.
- 妈的 我情愿留在家里 - 我也是 - I'm glad we stayed home. - Me too.
要是我们分开了 这样雷雨交加的夜晚一定会把我吓坏的 When we were apart, this storm would have terrified me.
一个人睡觉太让我害怕了 I was scared enough sleeping alone.
有时候 即使你和某个人在一起 你还是会觉得孤独 Sometimes you can be alone when you're with someone.
你认为我们是否应该把昨晚多的票送给加贝或朱迪？ Should we have given those other tickets to Gabe or Judy?
- 我们本来就是给他们买的 - 是啊 我知道 - We did buy them for them. - Yeah, I know, but...
但是现在情况完全不同了 ...the situation's completely different now.
一年半以后 又发生了许多事情 A year and a half later, much had occurred.
朱迪离婚了 并嫁给了迈克尔 Judy was married to Michael.
- 所以 你们很幸福？ - 你来说 - So, you happy? - Go ahead.
是的 我想一切都进展得相当顺利 Yes, I think things have gone pretty smoothly.
- 迈克尔容忍了我的许多怪癖和缺点 - 不 是她容忍了我的 - He puts up with my idiosyncrasies. - No, she puts up with mine.
我告诉过你 她就是被动进攻型的 她总能得到她想要的 She's passive-aggressive. Somehow, she gets what she wants.
她要过我 她要过加贝 She wanted me, she wanted Gabe...
她要过杂志社的工作 在两次婚姻之后 ...she wanted the job at the magazine, out of her marriages...
现在她要的是迈克尔 ...she wants Michael....
我不同意 I disagree.
当莎利回到她丈夫身边 我就开始追求朱迪 When Sally went back to Jack, I went after Judy.
一开始并不这样 可一旦我作出了决定 我就不放手了 Not at first, but when I decided, I went after her.
天哪 我希望我没有逼他 我希望我们能成 真的 Gee, I hope I didn't push. I wanted it to work, it's true.
我们过得还好 真的 我们学会了 We're doing fine. Really. We've learned to...
更加容忍彼此之间的问题 你认为呢？ ...tolerate our problems more. Don't you think?
总之 我学到的是 爱 I've learned, anyway, that love is...
不一定非得与激情和浪漫相联系 ...not about passion and romance necessarily.
爱同样也包含了陪伴 It's also about companionship and...
它就像一个抵御孤独的缓冲器 ...it's like a buffer against loneliness, I think.
那东西真的相当重要 与一个人相伴到老 That stuff is important. Somebody to grow old with.
不切实际的期望 消灭了大多数的婚姻 What kills most people is unreal expectations.
那那些不太好开口说的事情 怎么样了呢？ What about things that can't be talked about?
举个例子 比方说性方面的问题 Like sexual problems, for instance.
- 没有解决 - 没有解决？ - Unresolved. - Unresolved?
总有些事情 你是没办法解决的 Well, there's some things you can't solve and then...
你也只好将就着了 ...you have to live with it.
你构建起某种补救的东西 You construct some kind of patchwork thing.
- 可有时候它们还是会爆发出来 - 是的 当发生那样的事时 - But sometimes they flare up. - They do, and when it happens...
当发生那样的事时 那就有点艰难了 ...it gets tough when that happens.
你要学会怎么处理这些问题 然后把它们扫到地毯下面 You learn to deal with it and then push it under the rug.
那很管用 就是这样 所以这就行了 And it works. That's the weird thing. It's not bad.
你不能硬逼着你自己 去遵从某种抽象的 You can't force yourself to conform to some abstract...
爱的幻想 ...vision of love, or...
不同的婚姻 情况也不一样 ...you know, marriage. Every situation's different.
只要管用就行 Whatever works is the deal.
我们有我们的方法 Ours is just one way.
真有意思 去年的那个晚上 我们在加贝和朱迪家 It's funny. Last year when we were at Gabe and Judy's...
那么轻率地就宣布了我们打算分手 ...and we announced so flippantly we were splitting...
- 我那时其实没什么信心 - 我当然也没有 - I wasn't that confident. - I wasn't either.
我记得我当时特别羡慕他们 I remember thinking they were so lucky.
他们的婚姻太美满了 They had such a great marriage.
讽刺的是 我们又在一起了 而他们却分开了 It's ironic that we're together and they aren't.
- 是啊 - 真奇怪 - Yeah. - Weird.
在莱恩21岁的生日晚会上 I had a romantic moment...
我和她一起经历了一个非常浪漫的时刻 ...with Rain at her 21st birthday party...
我可以感觉到那种久违的诱惑 在我体内复苏了 ...and I could feel the old pull coming back.
那种久违的吸引又回来了 从前的一些感觉 The old attraction coming back. Feelings I'd had...
这对我来说非常生动 ...from my past. It was very vivid to me.
你知道 刚才那是个 That was a-- That was a...
伟大的时刻 但是我真的不认为我们应该 ...a great moment. I don't really think we should...
由着性子下去 ...follow up on it.
你什么意思？ What do you--? What do you mean?
我只是 如果情况有所不同 Well, you know, I just...If things were different--
如果我再年轻点或者你再年长点 If I was younger, or if you were older...
或任何事情有所不同 我只是不知怎的 ...or anything different, but somehow...
我能感觉事情的结果会是怎样 ...I just feel I know how this is gonna come out.
你确定？ You sure?
我确定 我真的确定 I am. You know, I really am.
我知道这会怎么结束 I knew how it would end.
我离开她家 来到瓢泼大雨里 And I left and I walked out into the pouring rain.
我只是 习惯性的朝我以前的公寓方向走去 I just headed instinctively back to my apartment...
因为我想抱住朱迪并亲吻她 ...because I wanted to hold Judy and kiss her...
和她聊聊 然后 ...and say things to her, and then...
然后我意识到 我搞砸了一切 ...then I realized that, you know, I really blew it.
那么你现在的生活如何？ So, what's your life like now?
我不指望什么 我不想和什么人有什么瓜葛 I'm out of the race for now. I don't want to get involved.
我不想伤害什么人 我也不想受到伤害 I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to get hurt.
我不介意一个人工作生活 I don't mind living by myself and working.
这只是暂时的 It's temporary.
感情总会过去 然后我又会重新获得踏入纷繁事务的勇气 I'll have the urge to get back into the swing of things.
事情看起来就该是这样 That seems to be how it goes.
我在写作 我正在创作一部 I'm writing, I'm working on a...
一部新的小说 不再是之前的那部了 ...a new novel. Not the old one anymore, and, um...
- 整体还不错 - 有什么不同吗？ - ...it's fine. - Is it different?
我的新小说？是的 这部少了些自白 多了些政治 My novel? Yes, it's less confessional, more political.
我可以走了吗？结束了没？ Can I go? Is this over?
