那麼，你是在動物園長大的嘍？ 沒錯，我的童年時光…… – So, you were raised in a zoo? – Born and raised...
… 在Pondicherry小鎮，在法屬印度地區。 .. In Pondicherry, in what was the French part of India.
我的父親是動物園的園長。 My father owned the zoo.
我有段時間被一個爬蟲學家臨時照顧。 And I was delivered on short notice by a herpetologist,
他在那裡檢查孟加拉巨蜥蜴 who was there to check on the Bengal monitor lizard.
媽媽和我都很健康 Mother and I were both healthy,
但是那只可憐的蜥蜴溜了， but the poor lizard escaped,
被一個可怕的種類所踐踏。 and was trampled by a frightening category.
因果循環，哈？ The way of Karma, huh?
這是天理公道。 The way of God.
就是這麼一個故事 That's quite a story.
因為你的名字，我還以為你父親是數學家呢。 I'd assumed your father was a mathematician, because of your name.
差不多吧，我的姓名是依照一個游泳池的名字。 Not far from it, I was named after a swimming pool.
有游泳池叫「派」？ There was a pool named "PI"?
你想，我叔叔Francis出生時肺裡存有太多的水 You see, my uncle Francis was born with too much water in his lungs.
他們說醫生只好抓著他兩條腿提著他轉圈，清空他肺裡的積水 They say the doctor swung Francis around by the ankle, to clear the water out.
這就是他為什麼有厚大的胸和纖細的腿 And that's what gives him his huge chest and skinny legs,
也早就了他成為一個著名的游泳健將。 that made him such a great swimmer.
Francis實際上是你叔叔？他蒙我說他是你爸爸的朋友！ Is Francis actually your uncle, he said he was friend with your father?
好吧，他是我的「道義上」的叔叔。我叫他"Mamaji" Well, he's my "Honorary" Uncle. I call him "Mamaji".
我父親最好的哥們，我的游泳教練 My father's best friend, my swimming guru.
我跟他培訓了三次，在Ashton呆了一周 I trained with him three times a week at the Ashton.
他的游泳課程挽救過我的生命 His lessons would save my life in the end.
只嗆過一口水是不足以讓你變的堅強， A mouthful of water will not harden you.
但會讓你害怕 But panic will.
會讓你拚命想呼吸，不能控制的想要呼吸 And remember to breath now, don't hold your breath.
好孩子。 Good boy.
希望你不會介意來點素菜 I hope you don't mind vegetarian.
一點都不介意。 No, no. Not at all.
你叫什麼？ 啥？ – And your name? – Uh?
我以為你會告訴我你是怎麼取的名字呢 You were going to tell me how you got your name, I think.
哦，是的！我爸說我的名字來自Mamaji Oh yes! I got it from something Mamaji once told my father.
你想，很多遊客都會收集明信片或是茶杯和珠寶 You see, most travelers collect postcards or tea cups and their jewelries,
但是Mamaji不收集那些。 but not Mamaji.
Mamaji收集游泳池。 Mamaji collects swimming pools.
他每遇到一個游泳池都會下去游一番 He swims in every pool he comes upon.
有一次，Mamaji對我爸爸說，全世界所有的游泳池 One day, Mamaji said to my father, that of all the pools in the world,
最漂亮的就是巴黎的公共游泳池 the most beautiful was a public pool in Paris.
池裡的水也很乾淨，很清澈 That the water there was so clear,
乾淨到你可以用水來沖一壺早晨咖啡 you could make your morning coffee with it.
那個游泳池改變了他的一生 That a single swim there changed his life.
在我出生之前，他說 Before I was born, he said:
如果你想讓你的孩子有個純淨的靈魂 "If you want your son to have a clean soul,
你就一定要帶他去piscine Molitor游一天 you must take him one day to swim in the "piscine Molitor".
我一直沒明白我父親為什麼對這件事如此盡心盡力 I never understood why my father took this so much too heart.
可是他卻做到了。 But he did.
我的名字也就成了"Piscine Molitor Patel" And I was named "Piscine Molitor Patel".
想像一下我是怎麼費心費力解釋我的名字的 Imagine me trying to explain that name.
我幾乎到了十一歲才有了這個名字 I barely made it to the age of eleven.
那之前…… before...
之前…… 嘿，「小便便」 – Hey, "pissing"! before...
你在小便？ Are you pissing right now?
快看他，他在小便啊。 Look at him, he is pissing.
因為這個詞，我的名字從一個優雅的法國游泳池 With one word, my name went from an elegant French swimming pool
變成了一個噁心的印度廁所 to a stinking Indian latrine.
不管在哪都被人叫成「小便」 I was "pissing" everywhere.
不准在校園裡小便！ No pissing in the schoolyard!
甚至老師都開始不自覺的喊我這個外號。 Even the teacher started doing it. Not deliberately, of course.
然後呢…… So then...
水壺為何很快的釋放氣體？ What made the kettle to release gas too quickly?
Pissing？（叫主角回答問題） Pissing?
老師也喊Pissing，夥伴們。 He said pissing, guys.
Pissing！！ Pissing!
夠了！ That's enough!
我已經準備好，當我們再次回到學校的第一天 When we returned the next for our first day of school, I was prepared.
到，老師！ Present, sir!

現在坐下吧 Now sit down.

從那時起，你就是派？ And from then on, you were Pi?
哦不，也不能完全這麼說 Well no, not quite.
想得美，小便兄！ Nice try, Pissing.
但是我仍然有一整天在我面前 But I still had the whole day ahead of me.
下一節是法語課 French class was next.
我的名字叫做派西尼·莫利托·帕特爾 Je m'appelle Piscine Molitor Patel.
（大家都叫我）: 派。 Dit: Pi.
然後是地理課 Then geography.

我那天的最後一節課是數學 My last class of the day was mathematics.

Mamaji告訴我你在海員們中是傳奇人物，是嗎? Mamaji tells me you're a legend among sailors, do you?
在那裡，獨自一人 Out there, all alone.
噢，我連揚帆航行都不知道如何做 Oh, I don't even know how to sail.
而且我都是一個人在那，Richard Parker和我在一起 And I wasn't alone out there, Richard Parker was with me.
Richard Parker?
Mamaji，他沒有告訴我所有事 Mamaji, he didn't tell me everything,
他只說等我回Montreal之後，應該找到你 he just said I should look you up when I got back to Montreal.
那麼你在Pondicherry做什麼？ So what were you doing in Pondicherry?

那麼這本新的是以印度為背景？ So this new one is set in India?
不，實際上是Portugal，但在印度生活很便宜 No, Portugal actually. But it's cheaper living in India.
那麼，我期待能夠欣賞它 Well, I look forward to reading it.
你不能 You can't.
我把它扔了 I threw it out.
兩年裡我一直嘗試著把那些東西帶入生活，但有一天。。。 Two years I was trying to bring these things to life, and there one day...
Spattered Caughin死了 Spattered Caughin died.
哦，我很抱歉 Oh, I'm sorry.
所以我坐在這家咖啡館裡在Pondicherry （印度泰米爾那都邦的一個靠海的小鎮，有名法國小鎮） So I was sitting in this coffee house in Pondicherry
一個下午悼念我的老闆，當一個 one afternoon mourning my boss, when this
老男人在我桌子旁，和我隨意的交談 old man at the table next to me, struck up a conversation.

那麼，加拿大人。讓我帶你去附近的法國小鎮 So, a Canadian. Let's come to French India,
去尋找一個故事。阿，我的朋友， and seach for a story. Well, my friend,
我知道一個印度人在加拿大的法租界， 會有這最難以置信的故事能講給你聽 I know an Indian in French Canada, with the most incredible story to tell.
這一定是命運的安排你倆才會見面 It must be fate that the two of you should meet.
我已經很多年沒有提及Richard Parker Well I haven't spoken about Richard Parker in so many years.
那麼Mamaji告訴你了些什麼？ So what has Mamaji already told you?
他說你有一個會讓我信奉上帝的故事 He said you had a story that would make me believe in God.
他會說那是因為一頓美餐 He would say that about a nice meal.
為了上帝，我只能告訴你我的故事 As for God, I can only tell you my story.
你將自行決定應該相信些什麼 You'll decide for yourself what you believe.
很公平 Fair enough.
我們先看看吧。從哪裡開始？ Let's see then. Where to begin?
Pondicherry...（小鎮名字）
是印度的法租界 is the French Bureau of India.
在這裡，距離海洋很近 In this place, closest to the ocean,
你也許會覺得你在法國南部 you might think you are in the south of France.
幾塊內陸，那是一個運河 A few blocks inland, there's a canal.
僅僅飛過它，就是印度Pondicherry Just beyond that, is Indian Pondicherry.
並且穆斯林居民區就在西面 And the Muslim quarter is just to the west.
當法國在1954年把Pondicherry歸還給我們時 When the French handed Pondicherry back to us in 1954,
小鎮決定適當的做一個象徵性的紀念 the town decided that some sort of commemoration was in order.

阿門 Amen.

我不知道印度教也說阿門 I did not know Hindus said Amen.
天主印度教徒這樣說 Catholics Hindus do
天主印度教徒？ Catholic Hindus?
我們在成百上千的神之前感到有罪，除了那一個 We get to feel guilty before hundreds of gods, instead of just one.
但你從出生就是印度教阿 But you're a Hindu first.
我們沒有人知道上帝直到有一個人介紹給我們 None of us knows God until someone introduces us.
我作為第一個印度教徒被介紹給上帝 I was first introduced to God as a Hindu.
在印度教的神話裡有33萬個神 There are 33 million gods in the Hindu regilion.
我怎麼能不知道其中的幾個？ How can I not come to know a few of them?
我首先遇到了Krishna神 I met Krishna, first.
Yasshoda曾經指責不該吃嬰兒
嘖嘖嘖，你這個淘氣的男孩-你不應該這樣做
但他沒有這樣做
這就是他告訴她的話"我沒有吃嬰兒"
Yashoda說「沒有？那麼……」
張開你的嘴
所以Krishna張開了他的嘴
然後你覺得Yashoda看到了什麼？
什麼？ 然後你覺得Yashoda看到了什麼？
什麼？
她在Krishna的嘴裡看到了整個宇宙

為什麼一個神那樣做？ Why would a God do that?
為什麼他送他唯一的兒子去承受普通人的罪? Why would he send his own son to suffer for the sins of ordinary people?
因為他愛我們 Because he loves us.
上帝對我們人類平易近人，所以我們可以理解他 God made himself approachable to us, human, so we could understand him.
我們不理解神也不懂他的完美 We can't understand God nor his perfection.
但我們可以理解聖子 But we can understand God son,
和他替我們承受的苦難 and his suffering, as we would of brothers.
那是不理智的！ That made no sense!
犧牲無辜，彌補了罪惡 Sacrificing the innocent, to atone for the sins of the guilty,
那是怎樣的一種愛 what kind of love is that?
但是這個聖子，我沒辦法忘記他 But this son, I couldn't get him out of my head.
如果上帝是這樣的優秀，我們卻不是 If God is so perfect, and we are not,
那他為什麼想要創造出所有的一切呢？ why would he want to create all this?
他為什麼需要我們呢？ Why does he need us at all?
所有你需要瞭解的那就是他愛我們 All you have to know is that he loves us.
上帝是那樣的愛著他的世界，所以也給了他唯一的兒子 God so loved his world that he gave his only son.
我聽牧師講解的越多，我越是喜歡聖子 The longer I listened to the priest, the more I came to like the son of God.

但是懷疑的餘地嗎？ But no room for doubt?
哦，太多了。每時每刻都有。 Oh, plenty. On every floor.
懷疑是有用的。 Doubt is useful.
它讓信仰變得鮮活 It keeps Faith a living thing.
畢竟，你無法知道你信仰有多少忠誠直到它被考驗 After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it has been tested.
Sothom在哪？ 我們在沒有他的時候不應該在這裡 Where' Sothom? We shouldn't be in here without him.
不用擔心。 Stop worrying.
我已經看過他這樣做過很多次了 I have seen him do this a thousand times.
我想要看看我們的小虎仔 I want to meet our new tigre.
派！ Pi!
你好？Richard Parker？ Hello? Richard Parker?
老虎？ tigre?
Richard Parker是一個老虎 Richard Parker was a tigre?
是的。他的名字是一個筆誤。 Yeah, he got this name through a clerical error.
在他年幼的時候，一個獵人抓 住了正在河邊喝水的他 A hunter caught him drinking from a stream when he was a cub,
於是給他起了個名字叫「口渴」 and named him "Thirsty".
當口渴長大了，獵戶就把它賣給了動物園 When Thirsty got too big, the hunter sold him to our zoo,
但我們在交易單的名字看到 but the name got switched on the paperwork.
獵戶名字叫口渴，老虎叫Richard Parker The hunter was listed as Thirsty, and the tigre was called Richard Parker.
我們只要一想到了就會笑 We laughed about it.
所以老虎的名字就定了Richard Parker And the name stuck!

你做了什麼，派？ What have you done, Piscine?
你知道你爸爸說回來的事情了嗎？ You know what your father said about coming back here?
很抱歉，很對不起。 I am sorry.
我是…… I was...
你在想什麼？ What are you thinking?
這是一個父親和他的兒子之間的事 This is between a father and his sons.
Selvan, 閉嘴吧！ Selvan, cut away!
他說對不起了。 你就只會用生命恐嚇他們。 He said he's sorry. You'll just scare them for life.
恐嚇他們？ 這孩子差點就失去了他的手臂 Scare them? That boy almost lost his arm.
但他還是個孩子。 But he's just a boy.
他會很快的成熟起來，成為男人 He will be a man sooner than you think.
這就是我要給他們上的一生都不會忘得課 And this is a lesson I do not want them ever to forget!
Selvan! Selvan!

波濤會被更強烈的感受到當船橫向對著水流 Waves are more strongly felt when the boat turns sideway to the current.

步驟4：無視步驟1至3。 Step 4: Disregard steps 1 through 3.
來，理查德·帕克 Here, Richard Parker.
給你喝點水 I got some water for you.
在動物園裡，我們一天餵給老虎5公斤的肉 In the zoo, we fed the tigres in average of five kilos of meat a day.
理查德·帕克將很快變得很餓 Richard Paker will getting hungry soon.
老虎是游泳健將 Tigres are powerful swimmers,
並且如果他變得很餓 and if he gets hungry enough,
我恐怕一點點水在我們之間不會起到任何保護作用 I'm afraid the little bit of water between us won't be any protection.
我必須找到餵養它的方法 I need to find a way to feed him.
我可以吃餅乾，但是上帝使老虎成為肉食動物 I can eat the biscuits, but God made tigres carnivores,
所以我必須學會抓魚 So I must learn to catch fish.
如果我不這樣做 If I don't,
恐怕他最後一頓 他將變成一個瘦弱的、吃素的男孩 I'm afraid his last meal will be a skinny vegetarian boy.
再等等! Patience!
等下！我在想辦法 Wait! Thinking.
兩箱餅乾 Two cartons of biscuits...
93罐水 93 cans of water...
對不起。 I'm sorry.
我很抱歉。 I'm sorry.
感謝你，毗濕奴! Thank you, Lord Vishnu!
現在你變成魚，拯救了我 Thank you for coming in the form of a fish and saving our life!
謝謝你！ Thank you!
當然，我把所有的餅乾和水放在筏上 Of course, I brought all the biscuits and water on the raft with me,
使他們安全 to keep them safe...
吃了它 Eat it.

走！ No!
很好 Good.
走，理查德·帕克 走！ Go, Richard Parker. Go!
回家去，我會留你一個人 Go on home, I'll leave you alone.
我會尊重這個，我承諾 I'll respect that, promise.
走！前進！ Go! Come on!
成功了！ Yes!
我從沒有想像一小片會帶給我如此之多的快樂 I never thought a small piece of shit could bring me so much happiness.

我記得他有一些和我一樣的現實世界的經歷. I remember that he has as little experience of the real world as I do.
我們都是由同一個主人飼養在動物園裡 We were both raised in a zoo by the same master.

緩解下自己！ 他向著我們移動！ Relieve yourself! He's come to us!
是幻覺！ It's a vision!
快來，是上帝，理查德·帕克！ Come on, this is God, Richard Parker!
你為什麼嚇壞它了？ Why are you scaring him?
我失去了全家 I've lost my family,
我已經失去了所有 I've lost everything!
我投降，你還想要什麼? I surrender! What else do you want?
我很抱歉，理查德·帕克 I'm sorry, Richard Parker.
我們要死了，理查德·帕克 We're dying, Richard Parker.
我很抱歉 I'm sorry.
Amma...
Apa, Ravi.
Apa, Ravi, 我很快就去見你們了 Apa, Ravi, I'm going to see you soon.
你能感受到雨嗎？ Can you feel the rain?
上帝 God...
感謝你給予我生命 Thank you for giving me my life.
我已經準備好了 I'm ready now.
理查德·帕克 Richard Parker.
嘿，走開！ Hey. Get rid of me!
是我的床 It's my bed.
是一個人類的牙齒 It was a human tooth.
你沒有看到小島是食肉的嗎？ Don't you see the island was carnivorous?
食肉的？ 像Venus的飛行陷阱? Canivorous? Like a Venus fly trap?
是的，整個小島 Yes. The whole island.
這些植物，這些水和水塘，甚至是地面它本身。 The plants, the water and those pools, the very ground itself.
在白天，這些水塘擁有新鮮的淡水 During the day, those pools held fresh water.
但到了晚上，一些化學反應使池塘成了裝滿酸的大缸 But at night, some chemical process turned the water in those pools into acid.
酸把魚消化掉了 Acid that disolved those fish.
這就是沼貍睡在樹上的原因 The sound of meerkats scaring to the trees,
這就是理查德·帕克每天晚上都回到船上的原因 and Richard Parker running to the boat.
但是牙齒是從哪來的？ But where'd the tooth come from?
某個可憐的迷失的靈魂在我之前來過這可怕的海岸 Years ago, some poor fellow just like me
發現他自己被困在那個島上 must have found himself stranded on that island.
就像我一樣，他想他會永遠在那裡 And like me, he thought he might there forever.
但是所有島在白天給予他的，都在夜晚被重新帶走 But all that the island gave him by day, it took away again by night.
去想像只有沼貍做伴，孤苦伶仃地過了幾個小時 To think how many hours he spent, with only meerkats for company.
忍受過多少孤獨 How much loneliness taken on him.
我所知道的是，最後他死了 All I know is that eventually he died,
這座小島吸收了他 and the island digested him,
只留下了他的牙齒 leaving behind only his teeth.
我看到了我的生命是怎樣結束的， 如果我繼續待在這座島上 I saw how my life would end, if I stayed on that island.
獨此一人，然後被遺忘 Alone, forgotten.
我不得不回到原來的世界，或嘗試死亡 I had to get back to the world, or die trying.
我花了第二天時間準備小船 I spent the next day preparing the boat.
我在船上備足了淡水 I filled my stores with fresh water,
吃海藻，一直吃到肚子再也撐不下為止 ate sea weed until my stomach could take no more,
並盡可能的殺很多的貓鼬 and brought as many meerkats as I could fit
把櫃子塞得滿滿的給理查德·帕克 into the storey's locker for Richard Parker.
當然，我不能丟下他 I couldn't leave without him, of course.
離開他就意味著殺死他 It would be killing him.
我等著他回來 And so I waited for his return.
我知道他不會遲到的 I knew he wouldn't be late.
理查德·帕克！ Richard Parker!
沒有人看過這座漂浮的小島 No one has seen that floating island since.
你將不會在任何自然書中讀到這些樹 And you won't read about those trees in any nature book.
然而，如果我沒有找到這些海岸，我會死 And yet, if I hadn't found those shores, I would have died.
如果我沒有發現這些牙齒， 我將會迷失，永遠獨自一人 And if I hadn't discovered that tooth, I would have been lost, alone forever.
即使當上帝似乎拋棄了我，他看著 Even when God seemed to have abandoned me, he was watching.
即使他似乎無動於衷於我的痛苦，他看著 Even when he seemed indifferent to my suffering, he was watching.
當我超越了所有希望中的拯救，他讓我休息 And when I was beyond all hope of saving, he gave me rest.
並給我一個繼續我的旅程的信號 And gave me a sign to continue my journey.
當我們到達墨西哥海邊的時候 By the time we reached the Mexican shore,
我害怕走不下船 I was afraid to let go off the boat.
我是那樣的虛弱 My strength was gone, I was so weak.
我害怕在就要被解救的時候， 自己會淹死在兩英尺深的水裡 I was afraid that in two feet of water, so close to deliverance, I would drown.
我掙扎著向岸邊走去，倒在了海灘上 I struggled to shore, and fell upon the sand.
這座海灘如此柔軟，堅實， 就像我的臉貼近上帝的面龐 It was warm and soft, like pressing my face against the cheek of God.
在某個地方，有兩隻眼睛正閃著快樂的光， 有一張嘴正因為有我在那兒而微笑著 And somewhere, two eyes were smiling, that having me there.
我是那麼的虛弱，幾乎不能移動 I was so spent, I could hardly move.
他徑直從我面前走過，沒有看我 And so Richard Parker went ahead of me.
他舒展著自己的四肢，獨自在海邊漫步 He stretched his legs, and walked along the shore.
在叢林邊上，他停了下來 At the edge of the jungle, he stopped.
我肯定他會轉身對著我 I was certain he was going to look back to me.
他會耷拉下耳朵，他會咆哮 Flatten his ears to his head, proud,
他會以某種諸如此類的方式為我們之間的關係做一個總結 that he would bring our relationship to an end in some way.
他只是目不轉睛地看著叢林 But he just teared ahead into the jungle.
然後，理查德·帕克，我忍受折磨時的伴侶 And then, Richard Parker, my fierce compagnon,
激起我求生意志的可怕猛獸 the terrible one who kept me alive...
永遠從我的生活中消失了 disappeared forever from my life.
幾個小時以後，我的一個同類發現了我 After a few hours, a member of my own species found me.
他離開了，又帶了一群人回來，把我抬走了 He left and returned with a group who carried me away.
我哭得像個孩子 And I wept like a child,
不是因為我對自己歷盡磨難卻生存下來而感到激動， 雖然我的確感到激動 not because I was overwhelmed of having survived, altough I was.
我哭是因為理查德·帕克離開了我。 I was whiping because Richard Parker left me...
這麼的隨便的就離開了我。 so unceremoniously.
它深深地刺痛了我的心 It broke my heart.
你知道，我的父親是對的 You know, my father was right.
理查德·帕克從沒有將我看作他的朋友 Richard Parker never saw me as his friend.
在我們都已經通過時，他甚至沒有回頭看我 After all we had been through, he didn't even look back.
但我相信在這些眼睛裡有更多別的東西 But I have to believe there was more in these eyes
比盯著我我的倒影的都多 than my own reflection staring back at me.
我懂，我感到了 I know it, I felt it.
甚至我無法去證明 Even if I can't prove it.
你知道，我失去了如此之多， 我的家庭，動物園，Anandi You know, I've left so much behind, my family, the zoo, India, Anandi...
我將印度和整個生命認作一種釋放的藝術 I suppose India and the whole of life becomes an act of letting go.
但總是令我最受傷的 But what will always hurt the most,
不是分別的時刻 is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
而是我沒有辦法感謝我的父親，為了所有我從他那裡瞭解到的 I was never able to thank my father, for all I know from him.
告訴他如果沒有他給我上的課 To tell him without his lessons...
我絕不會活下來！ I would never have survived!
我知道理查德·帕克是一隻老虎，但 I know Richard Parker's a tigre, but...
我希望我說過了： 「已經結束了，我活下來了。 I wish I had said: "It's over, we survived...
感謝你挽救了我的生命，我愛你理查德·帕克 thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker.
你一直在那陪伴著我 You'll always be with me".
但是我不能陪伴著你了 But I can't be with you.
我不知道該說什麼 I don't know what to say.
這很難相信，對吧？ It's hard to believe, isn't it?
我想了很久 It is a lot to take in...
才弄明白這意味著什麼 to figure out what that all means.
不，如果它發生，它發生了。 這樣意味著什麼？ No, if it happened, it happened. Why should it have to mean anything?
但有些是不可思議的。 But some of it is pretty incredible.
看，我是消失的船的惟一倖存者 See, I was the only one who survived the ship wreck.
日本船舶公司派了兩個人和我交談 The Japanese shipping company sent two men to talk to me,
在我住院的墨西哥醫院 in the Mexican hospital where I was recovering.
我仍有一份報告的拷貝 I still have a copy of the report.
用於索賠的保險 There are insurance claims to settle.
他們想要找出船沉沒的原因 They wanted to find out why the ship sank.
同樣，他們並不相信我 They didn't believe me, either.
數以千計的貓鼬 Thousands of meerkats,
在一個沒有一個人見過漂浮的食人島， on an floating carnivorous island, and no one has ever seen it.
是的，就像我剛剛告訴你的那樣 Yes. Just like I told you.
香蕉不能浮在水上。 Bananas don't float.
你剛才說猩猩將你放在香蕉堆成的小島上飄來 You said the orang utan floated to you on a bundle of bananas,
但是香蕉不能浮在水上 but bananas don't float.
他們當然做了，你應該自己嘗試一下 Of course they do, you try it for yourself!
不管怎樣，我們並不是到這來討論香蕉或者貓鼬 In any case, we are not here to talk about bananas or meerkats.
看，我剛才講了一個很長的故事，我很累 Look, I just told a long story, and I'm very tired.
我們之所以在這裡 那是因為一艘日本貨船在太平洋上沉沒了 We are here because a Japanese cargo ship sank in the Pacific!
有些事我永遠無法忘懷 Something I'll never forget.
我失去了整個家庭 I lost my whole family.
我們不想強迫你的。 We don't mean to push you.
對此我們表示最深切的同情 And you have our deepest sympathies.
但是我們從遠方而來 But we have come a long way,
所以我們沒有進一步瞭解船沉沒的原因。 and we are not closer to understanding why the ship sank.
因為我不知道！ Because I don't know!
我正在睡覺，一些東西吵醒了我 I was asleep, something woke me up,
可能是一個爆炸，我不太確定 it could have been an explosion, I can't be sure.
然後船沉沒了 And then the ship sank.
你們還需要從我這獲得什麼？ What else do you want from me?
一個不會讓我們看起來像個傻瓜的故事 A story that won't make us look like fools.
為了調查，我們想要一個更簡單的故事 We need a simpler story for our report.
一個我們的公司能夠理解 One our company can understand.
一個我們都可以相信的故事 A story we can all believe.
一個你以前從沒有看到過的故事 So a story without things you've never seen before.
對 That's right.
沒有驚奇，沒有... 動物或島嶼 Without surprises, without... animals or islands.
是的。那是真實的。 Yes. The truth.
那麼...你做了什麼？ So... what did you do?
我告訴他們另外一個故事 I told them another story.
我們四個人活了下來 Four of us survived,
廚師和水手都已經在船上了 the cook and the sailor were already aboard.
廚師扔給我一隻救生圈並把我拉進船上了 The cook threw me a life buoy and pull me aboard,
母親抓住了一些香蕉並游到了救生艇上 and Mother held on on some bananas and made it to the life boat.
那個廚師...是一個很噁心的人 The cook... was a disgusting man.
他吃了一個老鼠！ He ate a rat!
我們擁有的食物足夠支持幾個星期 We had food enough for weeks,
但是在最初的幾天裡他發現了老鼠並殺了它 but he found the rat in the first few days and he killed it,
在太陽下烘乾它並吃掉了 he dried it in the sun and ate it.
就是個野獸 Just a brute bad man.
但是他很詭計多端 But he was ressourcefull.
做一個竹筏用來捕魚就是他的主意 It was his idea to build the raft to catch fish,
沒有他，我們可能會在最初的幾天裡就死了 we would have died in those first few days without him.
那個水手不僅帶來了米和肉，還是一個佛教徒 The sailor was the same man who brought rice and gravy, the buddhist.
他不是很明白他說了什麼，只是他很痛苦。 He didn't understand much what he said, only that he was suffering.
他從大船上跳下來時摔斷了腿 He'd broken his leg horribly in the fall.
雖然我們每天都盡最大努力照顧他， 但是情況還是越來越糟 We tried to set it best we could, but the leg became infected.
那個廚子說我們必須做些事情， 但是他…還是死了 And the cook said that we had to do something, but he... died.
廚子說他可以做這件事，但我和媽媽不得不按住他 The cook said he'd do it, but mother and I had to hold the man down.
我相信了他，我們必須做 And I believed him, we needed to do it.
所以... So...
我反覆的說「我錯了，我錯了」 I kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry".
他僅僅一直凝視著我的眼睛 他的眼睛是那樣的... He just kept looking at me, his eyes were so...
我永遠不會明白他的痛苦。 I'll never understand the point of that man suffering.
我仍能聽到他在訴說： I can still hear him:
「我非常高興，你們需要米和肉」 "I happy with this, you need rice and gravy."
當然，我們沒有救活他。 他死了 We didn't save him, of course. He died.
在廚子抓到他第一條劍魚後的早上 The morning after the cook caught his first Dorado
我並不能知道他之前做了什麼 and I didn't understand what he'd done at first,
但是媽媽知道，我從沒有看過媽媽如此地生氣 but Mother did, and I had never seen Mother so angry.
「不要哀號了，開心點！」他說 "Stop whining and be happy", he said.
我們需要更多食物，否則我們會死的，這是重點！ "We need more food or we'll die, thas was the whole point!"
什麼是重點，Madrast？ What was the whole point, Madrast?
你讓那個快死了的可憐男孩作為魚餌， 你這個禽獸！ You let that poor boy dying only to get bait, you monster!
然後他就變得非常憤怒並對母親伸出了拳頭 He's got furious, he started towards her with his fists raised,
然後母親就打了他一個耳光 And Mother slapped him hard right across the face!
我驚呆了！ I was stunned!
我以為他會馬上殺了我的母親 I thought he was gonna kill her right then.
它將會結束 It would end...
廚子並沒有停止用水手的軀體做魚餌，沒有... The cook didn't stop with bait either, no...
那個水手... The sailor...
他步上了那隻老鼠的後塵 he went the same way as the rat went.
所以廚子是一個很有策略的男人 The cook was a resourceful man.
一周之後他... It was a week later that he...
僅僅因為我 because of me.
因為我抓不住海龜 Because I couldn't hold on this stupid turtle.
它從我手中滑落並遊走了 It slipped out of my hand and swam away,
然後那個廚子就過來之後就打我的頭 and the cook came up, and he punched me on the side of my head,
我的牙齒辟啪作響，被打得頭暈目眩 and my teeth clacked and I saw stars,
我以為他還會教訓我但是母親就開始與他打起來了 I thought he was gonna hit me again, but Mother started pounding on him,
並且尖叫著「禽獸！禽獸！」 with her face screaming "monster, monster!"
她拉著我走到木筏 She held with me go to the raft.
"Nipola!"(印度語：快走) 'Nipola!"
我以為她要和我一起走 I thought she was coming with me, or I'd never have!
我並不知道我為什麼沒有讓她第一個走 I don't know why I didn't make her go first.
我每天都在想 I think about that every day.
我跳上竹筏，轉過頭後，揮刀斬下來 I jumped over and turned back just as the knife came out.
我什麼都不能做 There wasn't anything I could do.
不能去看看 Couldn't look away...
他在把我母親的身體扔到船外 He threw her body overboard,
然後鯊魚來了 and then the sharks came.
當我看到她時，它們... And I saw her, they...
看見... saw...
第二天，我殺了他 Next day, I killed him.
他甚至沒有反抗，他知道自己做的太過分了 He didn't even fight back, he knew he'd gone too far.
哪怕是用他那獸性的標準來衡量 Even by his own standards.
他把刀一直放在凳子上， 我做了他對水手做的一樣的事 He left the knife out of the bench, and I did to him what he did to the sailor.
他很邪惡，但仍很…… He was such an evil man, but was still hum...
他將我心裡的邪惡帶出 He brought the evil out of me!
我必須與之妥協 And I have to live with that.
我獨自一人在救生艇上... I was alone in the lifeboat...
在太平洋上漂流 drifting across the Pacific ocean...
後來我活下來了 and I survived.
我講完之後，他們沒有不再問我問題了 After that, there had no more questions.
準確地說，調查人員看起來並不喜歡這個故事 The investigators didn't seem to like the story, exactly.
他們很感謝我。 他們希望我好起來... They thanked me. They wished me well...
然後他們就走了 and they left.
那麼這個故事是... So the story is...
