是不是？ haven't you?
She's nice.

「很好」就像媽媽在橋俱樂部的朋友那樣很好 還是.. 'Nice' as in 'mum's bridge club ladies nice' or 'nice' as in...

你知道嗎， Leyla是很有天份的作家 You know, Leyla is the most brilliant writer.
你應該閱讀她的作品 You have to read her stuff.

他還很會調馬提尼酒 And he makes a great martini.

我從來沒有什麼節奏感 I have absolutely no sense of rhythm.
Come here.
What are you thinking about?

那時我們還小 We'd have been underaged.
Hello. Hi Hani. I'm fine.
Can I call you later?
No, nothing's wrong.
I just woke up.
I'll call you in a while, OK?

你以前有這樣做過嗎？ Have you ever done this before?
當未婚夫還婚禮的籌備工作時候，我睡了一個女人？ Slept with a woman when my fianc? makes wedding preparations?

Never done that before.
That's not what I meant.

It's not easy.
這並不為人接受. It's not acceptable.
我們昨晚並沒有做什麼違法的的事情, Tala. We didn't break any rules last night, Tala.

你沒有給她買些色彩鮮艷的衣服了? Did you get her something colourful?
Tala thinks grey is a colour.
而且她們不喜歡購物 And they got bored of shopping.
They?
Her friend is here with her.
Leyla.
那個印度猶太人? The Indian Jewess?
The Indian.
I didn't know she was Jewish.
她們兩個大多都是在一起的. They're spending all their time together.

好事是她下個禮拜就會回來吧，是嗎? Good thing she's coming back next week, huh?
That's the other thing.
她們好像想要花更多時間在倫敦吧 I think she wants to stay in London a while longer.
她曾經在第二次婚禮的時候也這樣做過 She did this with the second engagement.
還是在她第一次婚禮? Or was it the first?

Tala總是提起你很多事情 Tala's talked about you a lot.
You too.
How was Oxford?
很可愛, 比我想像的好很多. Lovely, much more than I'd expected.
你知道的，從來沒有人說牛津會是很浪漫的地方: You know, no one ever says how romantic Oxford is:
像是它的河川，建築，歷史... the river, its buildings, the history...
Well, let's have dinner.
You girls must be hungry.
I have to go but thank you.
Oh no, I won't hear of it.
只是個很簡短的晚餐. A quick bite.
Hani 在約旦政府工作,你知道嗎? Hani works in the Jordanian gorvernment, you know?
外交部門 The foreign office.

What do you want to learn?

Auntie,
你的女兒是我認識的人中最自豪自己是巴勒斯坦人的. your daughter is one of the proudest Palestinians I know.
你為何不給Leyla與 Tala 看看請帖? Why don't you show Leyla & Tala the invitations?

So what happens?
我們有的就是五分鐘的牽手? We get 5 min of hand-holding?!
我有著你在牛津的晚上而他有你在倫敦的夜晚? I get the night in Oxford and he gets the night in London?!
That's not fair.
What is fair, Tala?
We can't live like this.
Our families won't understand.
我不能帶你過著這樣的生活.... I can't lead you into a life that's...
...這麼困難的. ...difficult.
我並不需要你的保護. I don't need your protection.
Thanks to you, I know what I want
而我也無法回到從前. and I can't go back.
我想感覺每天都像昨晚一樣. I want to feel the way I did last night every day.
我要和一個讓我心跳加速的人 I want to be with someone that
陪著我從現在到十年後 ten years from now makes my heart jump
當我聽到她的鑰匙正靠近門口 when I hear her key in the door.
而那個人就是你 And that someone is you.
I...
I can't hurt Hani.
Are you in love with him?
There are things I love about him.
我不能毀了我們的生活. I can't ruin lives.
You will.

猶太人與巴勒斯坦人的結合... Hanukkah, Passover...
想像媽媽的反應會是怎樣... Imagine mama's face...
我才不想想像. I'd really rather not.
雖然這值得一想 Though it might be worth it.
我以為我們可以開始我們的小小談判過程 We thought we could start our own mini peace process.
他卻從不掩飾那些文化給他的影響 He never made a secret of being attached to his culture.
那他當初為什麼要跟你在一起呢? Then why did he even get involved with you?
我是說, 是怎樣的人 I mean, what kind of a person allows you to
會在明知道沒有未來的情況下 get emotionally entangled
還和另外一個人產生感情呢? when they know there's no way forward?
I need a coffee.
No. No...
你必須停止輕視你自己了. You need to stop selling yourself short.
Sometimes... sometimes..
你就是不能停下來去理性地考慮所有東西. you can't stop and rationalize everything so perfectly.
為什麼就不能隨性地放手去做呢? Don't you ever just do something?
就算你明明知道這會造成大災難? Even when you know deep down it's gonna be a disaster?
你會喜歡 Zina的,只要你給她一個機會 You will like Zina, if you give her a chance.
She's a nice girl.
而且她也很喜歡穿黑色 And she wears a lot of black also.
我覺得你們兩個很搭 I think the two of you will match perfectly.
I'm really not interested in women.
在銀行太忙了吧, 我在想? Too busy working at the investment bank, I imagine?
我是說,你該開始考慮你的將來了 Sami. I mean, you have to start thinking about your future, Sami.
考慮什麼？ 跟你一樣嗎? What? Like you?
Yes.
Like me.
Welcome, Sami.
Thank you.
這可不常見啊，我的女兒們都歡聚一堂 It's not very often that I have all my daughters at home at the same time.

你忘記了他們是怎麼樣對待我們的嗎 Have you forgotten what they did to us at Sabra
還有Shatilla 和 Deir Yassin and Shatilla and Deir Yassin?

裁縫會在十分鐘後過來. The seamstress will be here at 10.

那麼 Gulshan阿姨的兒子也在找女朋友 Then auntie Gulshan's son is looking for someone.
他也事業有成 He's very successful.
他是個書獃子! He's a bookie!
And tall and handsome.
他六呎七吋!我只能看到他的肚臍吧. He's 6 foot 7! All I can see is his navel.
Well, then you'll have tall children.
Mum, I can't be happy with him!
The way I'm not happy with Ali.
And I've always known why but
I was hoping that the reason
I thought was the reason
might not really be the reason,
and that things would change,
but they never have, not really, and now
我非常肯定這幾年我所感受到的 I know for sure that what I've been feeling all these years
是真正的事實 is actually the right thing
and there's nothing wrong with it... - Do you want cheese with it?
- 媽媽,我想說的事... - 我沒買到你喜歡的奶酪只有買了乾酪... - Mum, what I'm trying to say is... - I haven't got cheddar for pasta, parmesan though...
-我有加了橄欖油... - 聽我說, 我是 gay! -I've got olive oil... - Just listen to me, I'm gay!
I'm home.
What did I miss?
I'm gay...
但是我才離開兩個小時... But I've only been gone two hours...

I lied.
Who did this to you?
I haven't caught a disease, mum,
I'm just gay, like I have brown hair.

現在你開始接觸罪惡了! now you're up to your neck in sin!
這並不是罪惡! It's not a sin!
媽媽, 我並沒有殺人或是偷竊 我只是試著不要欺騙你 Mum, I haven't killed or stolen and I'm trying not to lie to you.
這是很大的罪惡! It's a huge sin!
是誰說的? According to who?
是神說的! According to God!
是什麼樣的神會這樣說? 我不能接受! What kind of a God is that? I don't accept it!
那麼你將會在地獄裏被火燒! Then you will burn in Hell!
That's enough!
It's OK.
Nooo!
我覺得是時候討論一下你一直想要的房子的事情了 I think maybe it's time we discuss getting you that flat you've been asking for.
If I could help it, I would, but I can't.
I know, daughter.
I know.
到底在婚宴之前總共要有多少場派對啊 ? How many pre-wedding dinners is it possible to have?
還有另一件事，婚禮不能穿黑色，好!我可以接受 And another thing, if the rule's "no black", then fine...
但為什麼你的禮服就這麼精緻 but how come you get a dress that's elegant
而我的就這麼粗製濫造? and I get one that's Liberace?
因為Tala的禮服是我在巴黎買的 Because I did Tala's shopping for her in Paris.
"Zina, 不准穿黑色，這不是喪禮。媽媽" "Zina, don't wear black, it's not a funeral. Mama"
對於二十隻小羔羊因為這場晚宴而被宰割，它是場喪禮. It is a funeral for the 20 lambs that got slaughtered for this dinner.
它們被用來做成你的豆腐羊肉串了, Habiti They made tofu kebabs for you, sweetheart.
Come on, Zina. Sami's downstairs.
He asked where you were.
給他這件禮服 也許他會喜歡呢 Send him this dress, he'd probably love it.
這是怎樣愚蠢的建議? What kind of a stupid comment is that?
你是知道的 他很喜歡你 He likes you a lot, you know.
Yeah, well, I like him too.
你應該跟他發展看看 You should go out with him.
他正是考慮結婚的年紀了 He's the right age to marry.
你們之間好像有很多共同點 You seem to have a lot in common.
You both like New York,
you both like black clothes...
We both like men.
不要再說那樣的話了. Stop saying things like that.
是啊, 如果你不說出來, Z, 也許這就不是真的了. Yeah, if you don't say it, Z, maybe it won't be true.
Kareem 認為這只是個階段. Kareem thinks it's a phase.
如果他遇見對的女孩 他就可以撐過去了 If he meets the right girl, he'll get over it.
這個策略對於Ramzi叔叔似乎沒什麼用 That strategy sure didn't work for uncle Ramzi.
Uncle Ramzi is not gay!
是啊 !教宗不是信天主教的. Yeah, and the Pope ain't Catholic.
What do you think, Lamia?
Do you think that...
你認為當同志只是個階段嗎? Do you think that being gay is a "phase"?
你認為犧牲你的妹妹的終身幸福去 Do you think it's alright to sacrifice your own sister
去與一個同志結婚好嗎? to a life of misery-marriage to someone who's gay?
不管他們的外表看起來是多麼的合適? No matter how well their clothes match?
那麼, 我想你比任何人都更瞭解這個 Well, I guess you would know more about that than anyone else.
What's her problem?!
我忽然有種是似曾相識的感覺. I have a strange sense of deja vu.
I'm sorry, papa.
Have you told Hani?
我不知道要跟他說什麼 I don't know what to tell him.
我只知道如果我跟他結婚 會對他很不公平 Except that I know it won't be fair to him to go through with the wedding.
你知道父親都想給他們的女兒什麼嗎? You know what fathers want for their daughters?
給她們幸福. For them to be happy.
兒子總是離開,他們有許多選擇 Sons move on, they have choices.
尤其在中東這裏 Especially here, in the Middle East.
But a daughter...
女兒總是需要支持 不論現在或是以後 A daughter needs a hand now and then.
你要拿這些怎麼辦？ What are you gonna do about this?
Oh, I don't know...
也許我們就單純辦個派對 Maybe we can just have the party.
你的Ramzi叔叔 可以盡情的說著他的墜機故事 Your uncle Ramzi can tell his plane crash stories.
而其他人可以邊喝香檳邊聊些八卦. And everyone in town can toast to new scandal with champagne.
See Hani.
去換件衣服吧 沒事的 Go and get dressed. It'll be OK.
Ravi.
Sir?
把這些婚禮的食物都打包 然後送去避難營 Pack all the wedding food and send it to the camps.
他們應該有個取消婚禮的保險的 They should have cancelation insurance for weddings.
這種東西根本不用推銷 That stuff would sell itself.
我可以拿車鑰匙嗎? Can I have the keys, dad?
沒關係 她不懂的. She won't get it.
不懂什麼? Get what?
Nothing.
Where are you going?
要陪Leyla去看房子 I'm having Leyla look for flats.
她並不需要離開 She doesn't have to go.
She needs to.
到底發生什麼事情了? What exactly happened?
我傷了 Hani的心. I broke Hani's heart.
嘿, Tala.你必須讓自己放鬆一下 Hey, Tala. You have to give yourself a break.
如果你知道他不是那個對的人 If you knew he wasn't the right one
那麼你就應該作出對的決定 then you did exactly the right thing.
是的, 我應該更早跟他說的 Yeah, except I should've told him sooner.
是啊 我們都希望我們可以預視很多事 Look, honey, we all wish we had far-sight.
So what about you, huh?
Me? YFS.
Young, Free & Single!
你沒有再與Leyla約會了嗎? You're not seeing Leyla?
嗯, 她甩了我 Neah, she dumped me.
What happened?
嗯, 往另一面想 這並不是我的錯 Well, on the plus side it wasn't really my fault.
She told me she's gay.
我知道, 我也很吃驚 I know, I was shocked too.
You know, she even told her parents.
- You're kidding?! - No.
你必須佩服她的膽量 You got to admire her guts.
她總是有勇氣面對任何困難. She's always had a fearless streak that one.
你知道的, 在我們這種社會裏沒什麼人會真正這麼做 You know, there's not many people in our community that'd be willing to do that.
我一直都很喜歡她這一點 Always liked that about her.
Come on, you.
Hello?
Hello. This is Tala speaking.
Can I speak to Leyla?
Ah, yeah. One minute.
For you.
Who is it?

也許在那個時代是最令人吃驚的藝術建築 Perhaps one of the most stunning archaeological finds of that century,
甚至是有史以來 indeed any century,
就是在約旦南部發現的遺失的古都-佩特拉 was the finding in the south of Jordan of the Lost City of Petra.
考古挖掘出來 由納巴泰人建造, Dramatically carved out of frozen coloured stone by the Nabataeans,
雕刻著精美砂岩懸崖的大型寺廟 the massive columns of the temples rise up to surprise visitors
經常讓穿越大峽谷到達入口的遊客嘆為觀止 as they walk through a high canyon to reach the entrance.
真是美極了的景色 A breathtaking sight.
作為旅遊勝地 Now a thriving turist destination,
佩特拉吸引了多的建築學家與遊客, Petra has enthralled generations of archaeologists and visitors alike,
都是因為遺失古都她本身故事的獨特美麗 thanks to the stories and beauty of its Lost City.
都是因為遺失古都她本身故事的獨特美麗 Like the rest of Jordan, it is well worth a visit.
She's good.
自然而然地, 就是有那麼多的... - Hello. -Naturally, it's much...
Oh, it was so great to go...
顯然地, 去到佩特拉你只能騎馬或駱駝 Apparently, you can only get into Petra on a horse or a camel.
- That would be a great laugh. - It would be fun.
What are you doing here?
我的家族贊助這次的講座 My family sponsored the lecture.
What are you doing here?
我..對約旦很有興趣. I'm interested in Jordan.
約旦有五百萬人口 It has a population of 5 million
也沒什麼值得一提的自然資源 and no natural resources to speak about.
Petra股程序很好 不過我們沒有必要多說約旦... Petra's lovely but there isn't much to say about Jordan...
只是因為你感興趣的是我. because it's me you're interested in.

That's fantastic, Tala.
對啊！ 打入大型連鎖店裏拿訂單是多麼困難的事情 Great! Do you know how difficult is to get into those big chains?
這不就是你一直追求的嗎? Thought that's exactly what you wanted?
Yeah, it was.
Well, we should celebrate.
It'll be fun.
Leyla said she might join us tonight.
No, I'm... I'm really busy.
Is everything OK?
我不明白 I don't get it.
哪裏不明白? Which part?
為什麼你要給Leyla 與 Tala 湊一起? Why do you wanna get Leyla & Tala together?
我是說, 那天提起的時候Tala可是一點興趣也沒有 I mean, the other day Tala didn't seem interested at all.
聽著 難道你沒聽過一個電視連續劇《拉字至上》? Listen. Did you ever watch the TV show "The L Word"?
沒有.. 但是你可以考慮不要用謎語式的來說話? No... But did you ever consider not talking in riddles?
她們彼此相愛 They're in love with each other.
Who?
Janny和 Shane!
Leyla & Tala.
Leyla & Tala?!
- Good evening, madam. - Evening.
我與Ali有約 I'm meeting Ali.
他還沒到達這裏 The other party hasn't arrived yet.
你想坐吧檯的位置 Would you like to take a seat at the bar
還是讓我帶你去餐桌那裏? or would you like me to show you to your table?
- The table. - Sure.
Oh, good evening.
Ali先生7:30有個定位 Reservation for Ali, 7:30.
Oh, yes, follow me.
這邊請, 小姐 There you go, madam.
Thank you.
這位先生通知來訊息說他很抱歉 The gentleman sends his regrets, ladies.
他無法來這裏 He's unable to make it.
但是他還是希望今晚你們能玩的愉快. But he does wish you a pleasant evening at his invitation.
Thank you.
我們被設計了. We've been set up.
看來是這樣. So it seems.
You look wonderful.
你也是. So do you.
I know.
我只是開個玩笑. I'm just joking.
How's your husband?
I don't have one.
我取消婚禮了... I broke off the wedding...
就在婚禮那天的早上 the morning of the wedding.
那想必是很困難的決定 That must've been very difficult.
那是我做過第二困難的事情 It was the second hardest thing I've ever had to do.
What was the first?
離開你然後回約旦. Leaving you to go back to Jordan.
哇, 我很高興見到你這麼小心翼翼 Wow, I'm glad to see you were discreet.
所以？事情進行的怎麼樣？ Well? How did it go?
她們四目相對 Their eyes met.
Tala的臉上就笑意盈盈. A brief smile played across Tala's mouth.
Leyla下意識地舔舔嘴唇. Unconsciously, Leyla licked her lips.
這就是全部了 It's all over.
好吧 我還在適應期. OK. I'm still getting used to the idea.
你說這些話的時候 跟我爸還真像 You sound just like my dad when you say things like that.
你知道嗎？ You know what?
我一直都很喜歡你爸. I've always liked your dad.
What about you? How are you?
Fine.
Really good.
我的書出版了. My book got published.
Really?
我的意思是... 要出版了. I mean... it will.
事實上是下星期. Next week, actually.
這很好, Leyla. That is so wonderful, Leyla.
沒有人比你更值得出版書了. No one deserves it more than you.
How's your girlfriend?
Jennifer?
還有別的人嗎? Has it been more than one?
No.
She's fine. Thanks for asking.
Do you love her?
她有些部分值得我愛她. There are things I love about her.
那她對你而言足夠了嗎? And is that good enough for you?
不，並非如此 No, not really.
你有告訴你的父母為什麼你要取消婚禮嗎? Did you tell your parents why you broke off your wedding?
我告訴他們這對 Hani不公平. I told them it wouldn't be fair to Hani.
Did you tell them why?
Look, Leyla, you...
you don't understand.
約旦..它是個不能原諒人的地方. Jordan.. it's an unforgiving place.
我的父母在那裏有很高的聲望 My parents have a strong place in that society and
而且它的文化是不會改變的. it's a culture that doesn't change.
我想如果人們對他們自己都不能誠實的話 And I guess as long as people don't dare to be truthful about who they are
他們也永遠不會改變的. it never will change.
Leyla, I love you.
就這麼簡單 It's that simple.
這關我的家人什麼事呢? Why should it be anyone else's business, even my family's?
這和他們有關 當我們要撒謊 We make it their business every time we have to lie about
與誰在一起 在哪裏 做什麼的時候 who we're with and why we're with them.
You know, you once told me
對自己不要這麼拘束. to be more at ease with myself.
因為你, 我做到了. Thanks to you, I am.
現在我要告訴你同樣的事情. Now I'm telling you the same thing.
"每個夜晚我的清空思緒, "Every night I empty my heart,
到清晨發現都是徒勞 but by morning it's full again.
徹夜想起你輕柔的觸碰 Slowly, droplets of you seep in through the night's soft caress.
黎明時分 關於我們的回憶充滿了我的心 At dawn I overflow with thoughts of us
而那種甜蜜的酸楚讓我不能呼吸 and aching pleasure that gives me no respite.
愛情與隨之而來的慾望. Love cannot be contained.
讓人無法控制 The neat packaging of desire splits asunder,
日子一天天過去 spilling crimson through my days,
漫長無望 long, languishing
倍受各種煎熬的日子裏 Days that are now bruised tender with yearning,
我盡力找尋那 spent searching for a fingerprint,
你留下的一絲絲餘香 a scent, a breath you left behind."
Rani, where's my parents?
他們才剛吃完午餐，小姐. They've just finished lunch, miss.
我給了夫人薄荷茶 I gave madam some mint tea.
進去吧. Go in.
也許我應該試試看南美女傭 Maybe I should try a South American maid.
只要是第三世界國家的就行 As long as it's a Third World Country, I don't mind where it is.
她們很能幹 又不會多想... They work hard. They don't even think about...
Mama, papa, I have something I need to tell you.
你在說些什麼?你真是讓人羞恥 What are you talking about? You're a disgrace.
你已經丟我們的臉丟不夠了嗎? Haven't you shamed us enough already?
Please, Reema...
Tala...
Tala, wait.
"火紅的太陽升起 " "The sun hit her hand with a red hot force
"炙熱的陽光讓她感到手上一陣暖意" that burned straight through the clear-veined skin of her wrist.
"她緊緊地閉上眼睛來遮擋陽光" And when she shut her eyes tightly and briefly against it,
"隨之而來的熱意卻透過眼瞼依然地傳遞過來" the heat still glowed under eyelids like coals."
謝謝Leyla給了我們一次這麼精采的朗讀欣賞 Thank you, Leyla, for a very illuminating talk and reading.
