這麼說，你是在動物園裡長大的？ So you were raised in a zoo?
出生，長大 Born and raised.
就在「旁迪切里」一座印度南部的法屬小鎮 In Pondicherry, in what s the French part of India.
我的父親擁有一家動物園 My father owned the zoo..
我是在倉促下 被一位爬蟲學家接生的 and I was delivered on short notice by a herpetologist
他當時剛好在動物園 觀察孟加拉巨蜥 who was there to check on the Bengal monitor liza.
母子平安 Mother and I were both healthy
不過那可憐的蜥蜴卻逃出了籠子 but the poor lizard escaped
被受到驚嚇的食火雞給踩死 and was trampled by a frightened cassowary.
這是種因果嗎？ The way of karma, huh?
還是上帝的旨意？ The way of God.
很棒的故事 That's quite a story.
從你的名字看 我以為你父親是位數學家 I had assumed your father was a mathematician because of your name.
喔差遠了！我的名字是因為一座游泳池而取的 Far from it, I was named after a swimming pool.
有一個名為「Pi」的游泳池？ There is a swimming pool named "Pi"?
是這樣的,我的舅舅法蘭西斯出生時 You see, my uncle Francis was born
他的肺部積了太多水 with too much water in his lungs.
據說，醫生只好抓著他的腳踝 用力甩著他 They say the doctors swung Francis around
才能把水甩出來 by the ankles to clear the water out
所以才造成他的胸部這麼寬厚 而腿卻那麼細 and that's what gave him the huge chest and skinny legs
這同時也讓他成為游泳健將 that made him such a great swimmer.
法蘭西斯是你的親舅舅嗎？ Is Francis actually your uncle?
為什麼他說他是你父親的朋友？ He said he was friends with your father.
他是我的乾舅舅 我暱稱他為「瑪瑪吉」 He's my honorary uncle, I call him Mamaji.
他是我父親最好的朋友 也是我的游泳教練 My father's best friend, my swimming guru.
我跟著他每週三次在這個道場練習 I trained with him three times a week at the ashram.
他的指導最終救了我一命 His lessons would save my life in the end.
嗆一口水傷不了你 但慌張卻會害死你 A mouthful of water will not harm you, but panic will.
要記得換氣，別憋氣 Remember to breathe now, don't hold your breath.
好孩子 Good boy.
我希望你不介意吃點素食 I hope you don't mind vegetarian.
不，不，我一點也不介意 No, no. Not at all.
你的名字是？ - 嗯？ And your name? Huh?
我想，你剛正準備告訴我 你名字的由來 You were going to tell me how you got your name, I think.
是的！ 是有一次「乾舅舅」告訴我爸爸 Oh, yes. I got it from something Mamaji once told my father.
你看 大部分旅客在旅遊中 You see, most travelers collect
都會收集明信片或是茶杯 postcards or teacups on their journeys
但不是「乾舅舅」 but not Mamaji.
「乾舅舅」在蒐集游泳池 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.
皮辛-摩利托
有一天，「乾舅舅」跟我爸爸談到， One day, Mamaji said to my father that,
在這世上所有的游泳池中 of all the pools in the world.
最漂亮的一個是巴黎的公共泳池 the most beautiful was a public pool in Paris.
裡面的池水是那麼樣地澄淨 That the water there was so clear,
簡直可以用它來煮早餐的咖啡 you could make your morning coffee with it.
那趟游泳之旅改變了他的一生 That a single swim there changed his life.
在我出生前，他對我爸說 Before I was born, he said
如果你想要你的孩子 擁有一個純淨的靈魂 "If you want your son to have a clean soul
你必須帶他去叫做皮辛-摩利托的泳池游一次 "you must take him one day to swim in the Piscine Molitor."
我一直不懂為什麼我爸對於這件事如此在意 I never understood why my father took this so much to heart.
但他就是，於是我被取名--皮辛-摩利托-帕特爾 But he did, and I was named "Piscine Molitor Patel."
想像一下 我該如何向別人解釋我的名字 Imagine me trying to explain that name.
我差點撐不過11歲 I barely made it to the age of 11 before
看，是「小便」帕特爾！ BOY: Hey, Piscine!
你是在小便嗎？ Are you pissing right now?
看看他，他正在小便！ Look at him, he's pissing!
就這樣一個諧音 我的名字從優雅的法國泳池 With one word, my name went from an elegant French swimming pool
變成了一個骯髒的印度廁所 to a stinking Indian latrine.
我到處都在「小便」 I was "Pissing" everywhere.
校園裡禁止小便！(校園裡不准有皮辛) No Pissing in the schoolyard!
甚至連老師都開始這樣喊 Even the teachers started doing it.
當然，他不是故意的 Not deliberately, of course.
所以如果你瓦斯釋放太快會怎樣？ So, then, what might occur if we release gas too quickly?
皮辛（小便）？ Pissing?
他說「小便」耶 He said "Pissing."
小便！ Pissing
夠了！秩序！秩序！ That's enough! Order! Order!
當再次開學的時候 When we returned the next year for our first day of school,
我已經有備而來 I was prepared.
到，先生！ Present, sir.
皮辛-帕特爾 Piscine Patel.
早安。我是 皮辛-摩利托-帕特爾 Good morning. I am Piscine Molitor Patel.
大家都叫我 Known to all as
「Ｐｉ」, 是第16個希臘字母（π） Pi, the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet
它在數學中也代表著圓周率 which is also used in mathematics to represent the ratio
是圓的圓周長除以圓的直徑 所得的商數 of any circle's circumference to its diameter.
它是一個無限長的無理數 An irrational number of infinite length,
通常只表示到小數後兩位 usually rounded to three digits
那就是３.１４ as 3.14.
Ｐｉ（π） Pi.
非常感人的，Pi. 回去坐好吧 Very impressive, Pi. Now, sit down.
- 阿瓦紐薩米？ - 到
從那時起，你就是Pi？ And from then on, you were "Pi"?
哦不，還不是 Well, no, not quite.
幹得好，「小便」 Nice try, Pissing.
不過我還有一整天可以努力 But I still had the whole day ahead of me.
下一節是法語課 French class was next.
我叫皮辛-摩利托-帕特爾 Je m'appelle Piscine Molitor Patel.
大家都叫我：派(Pi) Dit Pi.
然後是地理課 Then, geography.
這是圓周率的前20位數字 These are the first 20 decimal places of pi.
我那天的最後一節課是數學 My last class of the day was mathematics.
慢點 慢點 別急 Slowly, slowly, slowly.
完全正確！ 他真的做到了！ It's right. He's really doing this.
Pi! Pi! Pi!
那天結束 我叫Pi-帕特爾 校園的傳奇人物 By the end of that day, I was Pi Patel, school legend.
乾舅舅告訴我：你在水手中也是個傳奇人物？ Um, Mamaji tells me you're a legend among sailors, too.
獨自在海上航行 Out there, all alone.
哦，我根本不懂如何駕船 Oh, I don't even know how to sail.
但我並不是獨自一人 理查-帕克跟我在一起 And I wasn't alone out there. Richard Parker was with me.
理查-帕克？ Richard Parker?
「乾舅舅」沒告訴我所有事 Mamaji didn't tell me everything.
他只說，我回到蒙特婁時 我應該來找你聊聊 He just said I should look you up when I got back to Montreal.
你當時在「旁迪切里」做什麼呢？ So, what were you doing in Pondicherry?
寫一部小說 Writing a novel.
順便一提 我很喜歡你的第一部小說 By the way, I enjoyed your first book.
那麼你下一部的小說題材是印度？ So, this new one, is it set in India?
不，實際上是葡萄牙 但在印度生活費很便宜 No, Portugal, actually. But it's cheaper living in India.
那麼，我期待能儘快欣賞到它 Ah, well, I look forward to reading it.
你不能 You can't.
我把它捨棄了 I threw it out.
兩年來我一直在催生這部作品，但有一天 Two years trying to bring this thing to life
它嗆了一下，咳了一聲，就掛了 and then one day, it sputtered, coughed and died.
哦，我很抱歉 Oh, I'm sorry.
那天下午 我在「旁迪切里」的一個咖啡館裡 Uh, I was sitting in this coffee house in Pondicherry one afternoon,
哀悼著我死去的作品 mourning my loss
而這位坐在隔壁桌的老人 竟跟我打開了話匣子 when this old man at the table next to me struck up a conversation.
對，「乾舅舅」會這樣沒錯 Yeah, Mamaji, he does that.
當我跟他提到我這本胎死腹中的書時，他說： When I told him about my abandoned book, he said
哦一個跑來法屬印度的加拿大人 So, a Canadian who's come to French India
來尋找一個故事的靈感 "in search of a story."
朋友，我知道有個印度人住在加拿大法語區 "Well, my friend, I know an Indian in French Canada
擁有一個難以置信的故事 "with the most incredible story to tell.
你倆的相遇一定是命運的安排 "It must be fate that the two of you should meet."
我已經好多年沒跟人提到理查-帕克了 Well, I haven't spoken about Richard Parker in so many years.
那麼「乾舅舅」已經告訴你什麼了？ So, what has Mamaji already told you?
他說你有個故事 會讓我相信上帝的存在 He said you had a story that would make me believe in God.
他也會這樣形容一頓美食 He would say that about a nice meal.
至於上帝 我只能告訴你關於我的故事 As for God, I can only tell you my story.
你自己決定要相信些什麼 You will decide for yourself what you believe.
瞭解 Fair enough.
讓我想想該從何說起？ Let's see, then. Where to begin?
「旁迪切里」位於印度的法國區 Pondicherry is the French Riviera of India.
在這靠海的小地方 In the streets closest to the ocean,
你會有置身於法國南部的感覺 you might think you were in the south of Franc.
往內陸走幾條街，有一條運河 A few blocks inl, there's a canal.
過了這條運河就是印度區了 Just beyond that is Indian Pondicherr.
再往西邊過去就是穆斯林區 And the Muslim quarter is just to the west.
當法國在1954年 把「旁迪切里」歸還給印度 When the French handed Pondicherry back to us in 1954
小鎮決定應該做些什麼事來做紀念 the town decided that some sort of commemoration was in order.
我的父親是一個聰明的商人，他想到一個主意 My father, who was a clever businessman, came up with one.
他決定收掉他的旅館事業 He ran a hotel, and he got the idea to open a zoo
轉而在當地的植物園中開個動物園 in the local botanical gardens instead.
當時，我媽媽是植物園中的植物學家 As it also happened, my mother was a botanist in the gardens.
他們相識、結婚 一年後我的哥哥拉維出生了 They met, married, and a year later my brother Ravi was born.
再過兩年後，我也來到這世上 I came two years after that.
聽起來真神奇，成長於 It sounds magical, growing up in
阿們 Amen.
好的，我們開動吧 Yeah, let's eat.
我不知道印度教徒會說「阿們」 I didn't know Hindus said "amen."
天主印度教徒會說 Catholic Hindus do.
天主印度教徒？ Catholic Hindus?
我們在上百種神面前都要懺悔，不只對一位 We get to feel guilty before hundreds of gods, instead of just one.
但你最早應該是印度教徒吧 But you're a Hindu first?
我們沒人知道有上帝 直到有人介紹給我們 None of us knows God until someone introduces us.
我最早是以印度教徒的身分來認識上帝 I was first introduced to God as a Hindu.
印度教有3千300萬個神 There are 33 million gods in the Hindu religion.
我很難不去認識其中幾位 How can I not come to know a few of them?
我首先認識了印度教主Krishna I met Krishna first.
Yashoda神曾指責 小Krishna吃泥巴 Yashoda once accused baby of eating dirt.
「嘖嘖，你這個淘氣的男孩-你不應該這樣做」 "Tut, tut you naughty boy - you shouldn't do that."
但他沒吃泥巴啊 But he didn't!
這也是他告訴她的話 That's what he told her.
「我沒吃泥巴啊」 "I didn't eat dirt."
Yashoda神說：「沒有？ 那麼」 Yashoda said, "No? Well then"
把嘴張開 "Open your mouth."
所以Krishna張開了他的嘴 So Krishna opened his mouth.
你想Yashoda神 看到了什麼？ And what do you think Yashoda saw?
什麼？ What?
她在Krishna的嘴裡 看到了整個宇宙 She saw in Krishna's mouth the whole entire universe.
這些神曾是我的超級英雄 伴隨著我的成長 The gods were my superheroes growing up.
猴神哈努曼 Hanuman, the monkey god..
為了救他的朋友「拉克什曼」舉起了整座山 lifting an entire mountain to save his friend Laksh.
象神Ganesh Ganesh, the elephant-headed
冒著生命危險去捍衛母親「帕爾瓦蒂」的榮譽 risking his life to defend the honor of his mother, Parvati.
Vishnu神，是至高的靈，也是萬物起源 , the supreme soul, the source of all things.
Vishnu神睡覺時 漂浮在無邊無際的宇宙之海 Vishnu sleeps, floating on the shoreless cosmic ocean
我們都只是他夢境的一部分而已 and we are the stuff of his dreaming.
真是美妙 Spectacle.
孩子們 別讓這些故事和華麗的謊言欺騙了 Don't let these stories and pretty lights fool you, boys.
宗教是黑暗的 Religion is darkness.
我親愛的爸爸相信 自己是新一代的印度人 My dear appa believed himself part of the new Indian.
當他小的時候，他得了小兒麻痹症 As a child, he had had polio.
他躺在床上忍受病痛 想知道上帝到底在哪裡 He used to lie in bed racked with pain, wondering where God was.
最終，上帝沒有拯救他 而是西方醫學救了他 In the end, God didn't save him, Western medicine did.
我的媽媽念過大學 Mamma went to college
她原以為她家是新印度的一部分 and thought her family was part of the new India as well
直到她父母跟她斷絕關係.. until her parents cut her off
因為他們覺得她嫁給較低等的人 because they thought she was marrying beneath her.
我們的印度教信仰 是她唯一與過去的連結 Her religion was the only link she had to her past.
我十二歲時在深山裡認識了基督 I met Christ in the mountains when I was 12.
當時我們正在拜訪親戚 在Munnar的茶農 We were visiting relatives, tea growers in Munnar.
我們到那兒的第三天 拉維和我感到無聊透了 It was our third day the. Ravi and I were terribly bored.
我們來賭兩個盧比 Challenge. I'll give you two rupees.
看你敢不敢跑進那個教堂 喝裡面的聖水 Run in to that church and drink the holy water.
你一定是渴了 You must be thirsty.
來 Here.
我幫你倒了杯水 I brought you this.
為什麼一個上帝會這樣做？ Why would a God do that?
為什麼祂要讓祂的親生兒子 Why would He send His own son
因凡人的罪而受苦？ to suffer for the sins of ordinary people?
因為祂愛我們 Because He loves us.
上帝讓我們人類去親近祂 God made Himself approachable to us,
如此我們才可以去理解祂 human, so we could understand Him.
我們也許不能理解上帝和祂的完美 We can't understand God in all His perfection.
但我們可以瞭解上帝的兒子 But we can understand God's son
他所受的苦,如同我們兄弟所受的一樣 and His suffering as we would a brother's.
這根本說不通啊！ That made no sense.
犧牲無辜，只為了救贖罪人 Sacrificing the innocent to atone for the sins of the guilty
這是一種怎樣的愛啊？ What kind of love is that?
但這個上帝之子 But this son
卻讓我想了又想 I couldn't get him out of my head.
如果上帝是如此完美 我們凡人卻不是 If God is so perfect and we are not.
那祂當初為什麼要創造出我們？ why would He want to create all this?
祂為什麼還需要我們？ Why does He need us at all?
你唯一需要知道的就是：祂愛我們 All you have to know is that He loves us.
上帝是如此愛這個世界 所以祂獻出祂的獨子 God so loved this world that He gave His only son.
我聽愈多牧師講的故事 The longer I listened to the priest.
就愈喜歡這位上帝之子 the more I came to like this son of God.
Vishnu神，謝謝你，讓我認識了基督 Thank you, Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ.
我藉由印度教得到信仰 I came to faith through Hinduism
並透過基督發現上帝的愛 and I found God's love through Christ.
但此時上帝要教我的還沒有結束 But God wasn't finished with me yet.
上帝的行事方式是很神秘的 God works in mysterious ways.
所以，祂再一次將自己介紹給我認識 And so it was, He introduced Himself again.
這一次，祂化名為「阿拉」 This time by the name of Allah.
至高真主Allahu Allahu Akbar.
我的阿拉伯語一向不好 My Arabic was never very good
但阿拉伯語的聲調和詞句 讓我更接近上帝 but the sound and feel of the words brought me closer to God.
在進行禮拜時 In performing Salah
我所觸碰的地面便成了聖地 the ground I touched became holy ground
我發現了一種平靜、血脈相連的感覺 and I found a feeling of serenity and brothrhood
這羊肉美味極了 This lamb is exquisite.
是桌上最棒的一道菜 It's the best dish on the table.
可惜你都不能吃 You're all missing out.
你只要再信三個宗教，皮辛 You only need to convert to three more religions, Piscine
你這輩子就可以天天放假了 and you will spend your life on holiday.
你今年打算去麥加朝聖嗎？ 耶穌大師？ Are you going to Mecca this year, Swami Jesus?
或者去羅馬看你的教皇加冕？ Or to Rome for your coronation as Pope Pi-us?
別鬧他，拉維 GITA: You stay out of this, Ravi.
就像你喜歡板球 Pi，有他自己的喜好 Just as you like cricket, Pi has his own interests.
不，吉塔，拉維說得沒錯 No, Gita, Ravi has a point.
皮辛，你不能同時信三個宗教 You cannot follow three different religions at the same time, Piscine.
為什麼？ Why not?
因為在同時間去相信每件事 Because believing in everything at the same time
就等於什麼事情都不相信 is the same as not believing in anything at all.
他還小，桑托許 他仍在尋找自己的道路 He's young, Santosh. He's still finding his way.
他如果不選定一條路 如何能找到自己的路呢？ And how can he find his way if he does not choose a path?
聽著 與其你探索一個接一個宗教 Listen, instead of leaping from one religion to the next
為何不從理性開始？ why not start with reason?
在幾百年內， In a few hundred years
科學已經帶領我們更進一步認識宇宙 science has taken us farther in understanding the universe
遠超過宗教一萬年內的作為 than religion has in 10,000.
那是事實 That is true.
你爸爸說的對 Your father is right.
科學能教我們許多外在的知識 Science can teach us more about what is out there
但心靈上的卻沒辦法 but not what is in here.
是的，有的人吃肉，有的人吃素 Some eat meat, some eat vegetable.
我並不期望我們對每件事 意見都相同， I do not expect us all to agree about everything
但我寧願你去 but I would much rather have you
相信一些我所不認同的事 believe in something I don't agree with
而不是盲目地去接受一切， than to accept everything blindly.
但這一切都要從理性思考開始 And that begins with thinking rationally.
你懂了嗎？ Do you understand?
很好 Good.
我想去受洗 I would like to be baptized.
所以，你是一個基督徒 還是一個回教徒 So, you're a Christian and a Muslim?
當然，還是個印度教徒 And a Hindu, of course.
我猜也是個猶太教徒 And a Jew, I suppose.
我的確有在大學裡教猶太教哲學 Well, I do teach a course on the Kabbalah at the university.
為什麼不呢？信仰就像一棟有很多房間的房子 And why not? Faith is a house with many rooms.
但沒有存疑的空間？ But no room for doubt?
哦，當然有，在每一種信仰都有 Oh, plenty. On every floor.
懷疑是非常有用的 Doubt is useful.
它讓信仰長存 It keeps faith a living thing.
畢竟，除非你的信仰經過試煉 After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith
否則你永遠不知道它有多強烈 until it's been tested.
沙凡呢？他不在我們就不該出現在這裡 Where's Selvam? We shouldn't be in here without him.
別擔心 Stop worrying.
我看過他做上千次了 I have seen him do this a thousand times.
我想看看我們的新老虎 I want to meet our new tiger.
Pi！ Pi!
哈囉？ 理查-帕克？ Hello? Richard Parker?
老虎？理查-帕克是隻老虎？ A tiger? Richard Parker was a tiger?
是的，牠這名字其實是個文書上的錯誤 Yeah, he got his name through a clerical error.
牠小時候在河邊喝水時 被一個獵人抓住 A hunter caught him drinking from a stream when he was a cub
獵人就幫牠取了個名字叫「口渴」 and named him Thirsty.
當「口渴」長太大後 獵人就賣給我們動物園 When Thirsty got too big, the hunter sold him to our zoo
不過名字在文件上被填反了 but the names got switched on the paperwork.
獵人的名字填了「口渴」 The hunter was listed as Thirsty,
而老虎則叫做理查-帕克 and the tiger was called Richard Parker.
我們笑翻了，這名字也留下來了 We laughed about it, and the name stuck.
我們快閃吧 Let's go
不然待會兒就有麻煩了 before we get into trouble.
我想更近距離看牠 I want to see him close up.
你又不是園裡的管理員！ You're not a zookeeper.
來吧！ Come on!
快吃吧！ 理查-帕克 That's it, Richard Parker.
這是給你的 It's for you.
不！ No!
你在想什麼？ What are you thinking?
你瘋了嗎？ Are you out of your mind?
誰准你進到這兒來的？ Who gave you permission to come back here?
你把我說的都忘光了嗎？ You have just ignored everything I've ever taught you.
我我只是想跟牠打聲招呼 I just wanted to say hello to him.
你以為這老虎是你的朋友？ You think that tiger is your friend?
他是隻野獸，不是一個玩伴！ He's an animal, not a playmate.
動物也有靈魂 Animals have souls.
我從牠們的眼裡見過 I have seen it in their eyes.
找沙凡來 Find Selvam.
先生，你確定要這麼做？Pi只是個小孩子 You're sure, Sir? Pi's just a boy.
照我的話做！ 動手！ Do it. Go ahead!
動物的想法跟人不一樣 Animals do not think like we do.
忘掉這點的人往往會送命 而這隻老虎 People who forget that get themselves killed.
不是你的朋友 That tiger is not your friend.
當你看著牠的眼睛時 When you look into his eyes
你看到的只是你自己感情的反射 you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you.
除此之外沒有其他東西 Nothing else.
別耍笨，快說「對不起」 (WHISPERS) Don't be stupid. Say you're sorry.
你做了什麼，皮辛？ What have you done, Piscine?
你知道你的爸爸說過 不准到這裡來的嗎？ You know what your father said about coming back here.
我很抱歉。我只是 I am sorry. I was
你在想什麼？ What are you thinking?
這是我們父子之間的事 This is between a father and his sons.
他道過歉了 He said he's sorry.
你這樣會讓他們一生留下傷疤 You want to scar them for life?
留下傷疤？那孩子差點失去了他的手臂 Scar them? That boy almost lost his arm.
他只是個孩子啊 But he's still a boy.
他很快就會變成男人了 He will be a man sooner than you think.
我要他們永遠忘不掉的這個教訓 And this is a lesson I do not want them ever to forget.
沙凡 Selvam!
這國家正陷入危機之中 and so has placed the country in a state of emergency.
根據該指令，Gujarat與Tamil Nadu Under the directive, the states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu
將由中央政府將直接管? will be placed under the direct authority of the central government.
警察將被賦予權力 Police will be granted powers
去逮捕並監禁那些 to arrest and indefinitely detain citizens
被懷疑跟起義有關的國民。 responsible for the uprising.
那次之後，很多事都變了 Things changed after the day of Appa's lesson.
這世界好像少了一些趣味 The world had lost some of its enchantment.
學校生活很無聊 教論據、分數和法語沒別的了 School was a bore. Nothing but facts, fractions and French.
永遠背不完的單字與句型 Words and patterns that went on and on, without end.
就像我那無理數的綽號（π）一樣 Just like my irrational nickname.
我煩躁不安地成長著，試圖找回一些 I grew restless searching for something
生命的意義 that might bring meanig back into my life.
然後，我遇見了阿南蒂 And then, I met Anandi.
媽媽讓我學音樂 Mother made me study music.
有一天，我的老師感冒了 And one day, my teacher came down with the flu.
他問我能不能幫他 He asked if I could take his place,
替舞蹈課伴奏 playing rhythms for a dance class.
如果妳不專心 If you do not concentrate
妳就無法透過舞蹈表達妳對上帝的愛 you cannot express your love of God through dance.
感受妳腳下的大地律動 Feel the ground beneath your feet.
將目光望向遠方的地平線 Open your gaze out onto the horizon.
讓那股精神的脈動穿透妳，再流向世界 Let that spiritual energy pulse through you and out into the world.
透過Abhinaya來呈現 Through abhinaya.
阿南蒂，到前面來，妳來帶她們 Anandi, come to the front. Lead them.
你為什麼要跟著我？ Why are you following me?
什麼？ What?
你在跟蹤我 You were following me.
這代表什麼？ What does this mean?
在舞蹈中，你從"pataka" In the dance, you went from pataka
它代表了森林 which means the forest.
然後妳做了然後妳做了 And then you did
"Samputa" samputa
這代表有些東西被隱藏起來 which means something that is hidden.
接著妳又這樣做了 And after that, you did this.
然後妳再換了"Chatura" And then you did chatura.
但在最後，妳做了 這個 But at the very end, you did this.
沒有其他人這樣做 None of the other dancers did that.
這代表了什麼？ 愛神隱藏在樹林裡嗎？ What did you mean? The god of love is hiding in the forest?
不，那動作也代表「蓮花」 No, that also means the lotus flower.
蓮花隱藏在森林裡？ Lotus flower is hiding in the forest?
為什麼一朵蓮花要躲在森林裡？ Why would a lotus flower hide in the forest?
這位就是理查-帕克 And this is Richard Parker.
牠是我們動物園裡 He is the most magnificent creature
最壯觀的動物 we've ever had here.
妳看看牠轉頭的樣子 Look at the way he's turning his head.
牠在炫耀，像個舞者一樣 Showing off. Like a dancer.
不，牠是聽到了些動靜 No, he heard something.
牠正在聆聽看到沒？ He's listening, you see?
我跟你媽已經討論過一段日子了 We have talked about it for some time.
你知道我在說什麼嗎？ Do you understand what I'm saying?
Pi！ Pi?
呃，對不起，你一直在 Sorry, you've been
擔心 Worried.
為了這個家 For my family.
我們的動物在國外的價值遠比在印度高 Our animals are worth far more abroad than here in India.
如果鎮議會決定不補助我們 And if the town council stops supporting us
我不知道我們該怎麼辦 I don't know where we will be.
所以這是勢在必行的事 So, it is what we have to do.
你懂了嗎？ Do you understand?
抱歉，你在說什麼？ I'm sorry, what are we talking about?
我們要離開印度了 We are leaving India.
什麼！？ What?
我們要把動物園賣了 We are selling the zoo.
動物園其實不是我們能賣的 土地屬於鎮上 The zoo was never ours to sell. The land belongs to the town.
但動物是我們的，如果把一些動物賣了 But the animals are ours and if we sell them
我們就會有足夠的錢開始一個新生活 we will have enough to start a new life.
我們要去哪裡呢？我們的生活在這啊，爸！ But where would we go? Our life is here, Appa.
加拿大 Canada.
我在溫尼伯有些工作機會 I have some opportunities for work in Winnipeg.
我會把大部分的動物都運到北美出售 I'll be shipping most of the animals for sale in North America.
我們全家也可以跟著貨輪過去 We can get freighter passage for the whole family.
所以 So
我都安排好了 It is settled.
我們要像哥倫布一樣去航行了 We will sail like Columbus.
但哥倫布要找的就是印度啊！ But Columbus was looking for India.
賣一個動物園要花很多工夫 It takes a lot of work to sell a zoo.
阿南蒂和我有足夠的時間 讓彼此傷心 Anandi and I had time enough to break each other's heart.
當然，我答應她 說我總有一天會回來的 Of course, I promised I would come back one day.
奇怪的是 It's funny.
我記得我們最後一天的所有事 I remember everything else about our last day.
就是不記得我有說了再見 But I don't remember saying goodbye.
Pi？下面正在提供晚餐 GITA: Pi? They're serving dinner below.
皮辛 Piscine
你將有一個嶄新的生活 you have a whole life ahead of you.
這是我們為你和拉維而做的 We are doing this for you and Ravi.
進來吃點晚餐吧 Come inside and have some dinner.
請給我素食 Vegetarian, please.
哦，我和我兒子們都是吃素的，你有沒有 Oh, my sons and I are vegetarians. Do you have anything
任何是不不不！ No, no, no. Not more gravy.
你不想要肉汁？ You don't want gravy? No.
不要，我想要些素食 No, I want something vegetarian.
哦。 Oh.
沒問題 Pas de probleme.
她是問你有沒有一些素食 She asked if you have something vegetarian.
這牛肝的牛是吃素的 The cow that produced this liver was vegetarian,
香腸裡的這頭豬也是吃素的 the pigs that went into these sausages were vegetarian.
很幽默啊 Very funny.
但我老婆不吃任何肝臟 But my wife doesn't eat liver.
沒問題~ Pas de probleme.
那她就吃香腸、米飯跟肉汁吧 Then she can eat the sausage, the rice, and the gravy.
或者你也可以自己做飯 Or you can cook your own food.
你膽敢跟我老婆這樣說話？ How dare you talk to my wife like that?
這是你的飯 Here's your rice.
我是替水手燒飯 I cook for sailors
不是替你們這些吃咖哩的人 not curry-eaters.
-你說什麼？！ What did you say?!
你以為你是誰？ 你只不過是個僕人！ Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a servant!
我餵飽人們，而你只會餵猴子！ I feed people! You feed monkeys!
你好 Hello.
我是個隨喜佛教徒 I am happy Buddhist.
所以，我吃米飯 So, I eat rice
配肉汁 next to gravy.
在船上，肉汁不算肉 On ship, gravy is not meat.
算調味料， Is taste.
你要試試嗎？ You try?
別擔心 Don't worry.
等我們停靠馬尼拉後 我們會有充足的補給 We will have plenty of fresh supplies after we stop in Manila.
為什麼要給「柳橙汁」吃鎮定劑？ Why give Orange Juice tranquilizers?
她又不會造成任何的麻煩 She's not going to cause any trouble.
旅行帶來的壓力對動物們不好 The stress of traveling is not good for the animals
鎮定劑還能防止牠們暈船 and it helps with the seasickness.
我們不會想幫一隻紅毛猩猩清理嘔吐物吧 We don't want to be cleaning up after a seasick orangutan
是吧？ do we?
我的父親是一個生意人 My father was a businessman.
他從沒親自照顧過動物 He had never tended the animals himself.
我這才發覺 I realized
離開印度的決定 對他而言比對我更艱難 leaving India must have been harder for him than it was for me.
然後？ So
哦，我沒漏了什麼吧？ Have I forgotten anything?
我想你故事場景都設定好了 I think you've set the stage.
我們有個以法國游泳池 命名的印度男孩 So far, we have an Indian boy named after a French swimming pool
在一艘滿載動物的日本貨輪上 航向加拿大 on a Japanese ship full of animals, heading to Canada.
是的！ Yes.
現在我們要將這男孩送到太平洋中央 然後 Now, we have to send our boy into the middle of the Pacific and--
讓我相信有上帝 And make me believe in God.
是的， Yeah.
我們會講到那兒的 We'll get there.
在離開馬尼拉後的第四天 It was four days out of Manila
我們來到了馬里亞納海溝，地球上最深的地方 above the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot on Earth.
我們的船奮力前進 Our ship, The Tsimtsum, pushed on,
無畏四周環伺的挑戰 bullishly indifferent to its surroundings.
它如一座大陸般自信滿滿地緩行 It moved with the slow, massive confidence of a continent.
拉維！ Ravi?
你聽到了嗎，拉維？ Did you hear that, Ravi?
我在睡覺 I'm sleeping.
應該是場暴風雨，我們去看看吧 It's a thunderstorm. Let's go watch.
你瘋了嗎？ Are you crazy?
我們會被閃電打中的 We will get hit by lightning.
不，不會的，它先會打中艦橋 No, we won't. It will hit the bridge first.
不要去挑戰風暴，Pi Don't tempt a storm, Pi.
哇。 Whoa.
喔！ Oh!
下更多雨吧！下更多雨吧！ More rain! More rain!
暴風之上主！ Lord of Storms!
哇！ Whoa!
閃電！ Lightning!
啊！ Ah!
媽！ Amma!
爸！ Appa!
拉維！快出來！ 趕快出來！ Ravi! Get out! Get out!
救命！ Help me!
救命！ Help!
快上船！ Get in the boat!
請你救救我的家人 Please! Save my family!
別害怕，好嗎？ 待在這裡！ Don't scare, okay? Wait, stay here!
你一定要救救我的家人！ You have to help them! Please!
我解不開！ Put this on.
不，不！我的家人，求求你了！ No, no, my family! Please!
我們必須去救他們！ We have to help them!
我的家人就在後面！ We don't have time. My family's back there!
我們會幫忙！你必須走了！ We help! You must go!
誰把放那些動物出來了？ Who let all the animals out?
你現在必須走了 You have to go now!
不，等等，我爸爸還在裡面！他不會游泳！ No, wait, my father! He can't swim!
走！ Go!
抓緊了！抓緊！ SAILOR: Hang on to the boat! Hold, hold!
放下來！ Bring it down!
嘿！ 你做什麼！別這樣 Hey! You! What are you doing?
跳！ Jump!
喂！喂！ Hey, hey!
嘿！這裡！ 在這裡！ Hey! Over here! Over here!
理查-帕克？ Richard Parker?
不！ 不！ No! No!
不！ 走開！ 走開！ No! Go away! Go away!
啊！ Agh!
媽！ Amma!
爸！拉維！ Appa Ravi.
我對不起你們 I'm sorry.
我對不起你們 I'm sorry!
Hari? Hari?
看來你的鎮定劑還沒退完 Looks as though your drugs haven't worn off yet.
柳橙汁 Orange Juice! Orange Juice!
柳橙汁
歡迎來到Pi的方舟 Welcome to Pi's Ark.
你的孩子在那裡？「柳橙汁」 Where is your boy, Orange Juice?
別擔心 媽跟爸一定會找到牠的 Don't worry, I bet mother and father found him.
他們很快就會來找我們了 They'll all be here soon.
你好！ Hello!
有沒有人啊！ Anybody!
不！ No!
停下來！ 不！ 停下來！ 停下來！ Stop it! No! Stop it! Stop it!
不！不！ No! No!
對不起，「柳橙汁」 I'm sorry, Orange Juice.
我沒暈船藥可以給你 I don't have any seasickness medicine for you.
救難包。還有救難包 Supplies. Oh, supplies!
Yes! Yes!
不！不！ No! No!
不！ 不！ No! No!
來啊！來啊！ Come on! Come on!
過來呀！ Come on!
我的名字是Pi-帕特爾 My name is Pi Patel.
我遇到了船難 I have been in a shipwreck.
我現在獨自在一艘救生艇上 I am on a lifeboat alone
還有一隻老虎 with a tiger.
請來救我 Please send help.
上帝啊！我把自己奉獻給你 God, I give myself to you.
我聽從你的船隻 I am your vessel.
無論會發生什麼事，我都想知道 Whatever comes, I want to know.
給我指示吧 Show me.
海上哪裡有航線啊 There are no lines.
把船上的空間整理好 準備為生存而奮戰 Set your house in order and dig in for the battle to survive.
關於進食、尋求救援與休息 Establish a strict schedule for eating,
請制定一個嚴格的計畫 keeping watch and getting rest.
別喝尿，也別喝海水 Do not drink urine or sea water.
讓自己保持忙碌 但避免不必要的勞累 Keep busy but avoid unnecessary exertion.
紙牌遊戲能保持大腦清醒 The mind can be kept occupied by playing card games
玩玩「二十個問題」或 「我是間諜」遊戲 Twenty Questions, or I Spy.
大家一起唱歌可確保提振士氣 Community singing is another surefire way to lift the spirits.
極力建議大家說故事 Telling stories is highly recommended.
但最重要的是: 別失去希望 Above all, don't lose hope.
暈船會加速精神的衰弱 Few things can sap the spirit faster than seasickness.
當船身面對洋流時 更容易感受到波浪的起伏 Waves are most strongly felt when a boat turns sideways to the current.
海錨可以用來牽引船身 使船頭對著海風 A sea anchor is used as a drag to keep the boat's head to the wind.
正確的使用它們可以提高船的控制性 Proper use of them can increase control
在風浪大的時候減少暈船的程度 and reduce seasickness during rough seas.
當漂流者不得以必須 For castaways who must share their lifeboats with large,
與大型肉食動物共用救生艇的時候 dangerous carnivores
明確劃分出你的地盤 是較為明智的做法 it's advisable to establish a territory as your own.
試試這個方法 Try this method.
步驟一： Step one.
找一天浪不大，但較規律的日子 Choose a day when waves are moderate, but regular.
步驟二：讓救生艇面對波浪 Step two. With the lifeboat facing into the waves
乘坐時盡可能舒適 吹著哨子撫慰心靈 making the ride as comfortable as possible, blow your whistle soothingly.
步驟三：讓救生艇的船身對著海浪 Step three. Turn the lifeboat sideways to the waves
同時用哨子發出刺耳 且強勢的聲音 accompanied by harsh, aggressive use of the whistle.
不斷地重複這過程 With sufficient repetition
動物會將不同的哨音與 the animal will associate the sound of the whistle
不同程度的暈船做連結 with the discomfort of seasickness.
這與馬戲團訓練動物的方法類似 Similar methods have long been used by circus trainers
雖然動物們平常很少會漂流到海上 though they generally lack access to rough seas.
讓號角響起吧！ Let the trumpets blare!
讓鼓聲響起吧！ Let the drum rolls begin!
準備大開眼界吧！ Prepare to be amazed!
歡迎來欣賞與指教 Here it is, for your enjoyment and instruction!
這場你等待一生的表演 The show you've been waiting for all your life
即將開始！ will soon begin!
你準備好要見證這神奇的一刻嗎？ Are you ready for the miracle of it?
非常好，讓我為您呈現 Well, then, I give to you
驚人的孟加拉虎！ the astounding Bengal tiger!
你好，理查-帕克。很抱歉讓你覺得顛簸 Hello, Richard Parker. Sorry about the choppy ride.
我的地盤！ 你懂不懂？你的！ 我的！ Mine! You understand? Yours, mine!
懂了沒？ You understand?
呃！ Ew!
步驟四： Step four.
忘了步驟一到三 Disregard steps one through three.
這裡，理查-帕克，給你點水喝 Here, Richard Parker. I got some water for you.
在動物園裡 我們一天給老虎餵食五公斤的肉 In the zoo, we fed our tigers an average of five kilos of meat a day.
理查-帕克很快就會餓了 Richard Parker will be getting hungry soon.
老虎是游泳健將 如果牠餓得受不了 Tigers are powerful swimmers, and if he gets hungry enough
我想我跟牠之間的小小距離 I'm afraid the little bit of water between us
恐怕是保護不了我 won't be any protection.
我必須想辦法來餵飽牠 I need to find a way to feed him.
我可以吃餅乾 但上帝讓老虎吃肉 I can eat the biscuits but God made tigers carnivores
所以我必須學會捕魚 so I must learn to catch fish.
如果我不這麼做，恐怕牠的最後一餐 If I don't, I'm afraid his last meal
是一個瘦弱的素食男孩 will be a skinny, vegetarian boy.
耐心點！ Patience!
我在幹什麼 What am I doing?
等等！ 讓我想想！ Wait! I'm thinking.
32包餅乾 Thirty-two cartons of biscuits.
93罐水 Ninety-three cans of water.
我很抱歉 I'm sorry.
我很抱歉 (SOBBING) I'm sorry.
感謝您，Vishnu神！ Thank you, Lord Vishnu.
謝謝您化身成魚，救了我們的命 Thank you for coming in the form of a fish and saving our lives.
感謝您 Thank you.
是的，我把所有的餅乾和水 Of course, I brought all the biscuits and water
都帶到木筏上 以確保它們的安全 on the raft with me to keep them safe.
真夠白癡的 Idiot.
飢餓能改變所有 Hunger can change everything you
你自以為對自己的瞭解 ever thought you knew about yourself.
來這給你！ Here, it's yours!
我的！ 這是我的！ Mine! Mine!
我不能每次想拿補給品 I can't risk my life every time
就要冒著生命危險爬上船 I have to climb onto the boat for supplies.
該是解決這個問題的時候了 It's time to settle this.
如果我們必須一起生活 If we're going to live together,
我們得學會溝通 we have to learn to communicate.
也許理查-帕克無法被馴服 Maybe Richard Parkr can't be tamed,
但靠著上帝的旨意, 牠可以被訓練 but with God's will, he can be trained.
不行！ No!
很好 Good.
快點！ 理查-帕克，進去！ Go, Richard Parker. Go.
快回去！ 我就不煩你 Go on home, I'll leave you alone.
我說話算話，真的 I'll respect that, I promise.
走！ 快點！ Go. Come on.
太好了！ Yes!
我從來沒想過，一小塊遮陰處 I never thought a small piece of shade
能帶給我如此多的快樂 could bring me so much happiness.
一堆工具，一個水桶 一把小刀，一支鉛筆 That a pile of tools, a bucket, a knife, a pencil..
這些成為了我最珍貴的寶藏 might become my greatest treasures.
或知道老虎理查-帕克在此 帶給我平靜的感覺 Or that knowing Richard Parker was here might ever bring me peace.
在這種危急存亡的時刻 In times like these
我才想起來其實牠跟我一樣 I remember that he has as little experience
對現實世界根本沒啥經驗 with the real world as I do.
我們都是在動物園裡 被同樣的主人給養大 We were both raised in a zoo by the same master.
現在我們都是孤兒了
被留下來一起面對人生的主人 Now we've been orphaned, left to face our ultimate master together.
如果沒有了理查-帕克的話 我想我早就死了 Without Richard Parker, I would have died by now.
藉著對牠的恐懼 讓我時刻保持警覺 My fear of him keeps me alert.
為了滿足牠的需求 讓我生活有了目標 Tending to his needs gives my life purpose.
海豚 Dolphins.
嘿！ 理查-帕克！ Hey, Richard Parker!
嘿！ Hey!
最重要的是，不要失去希望 Above all, don't lose hope.
8,5,5,0,3,6,6 Eight, five, five, zero, three, six, six
0,8,0,1 zero, eight, zero, one
3,6,0,4,6,6,8 three, six, zero, four, six, six, eight
你在看什麼？ What are you looking at?
跟我說說話 Talk to me.
跟我說你都看到了什麼 Tell me what you see.
文字是我僅存的依靠 Words are all I have left to hang on to.
萬物彷彿都被攪混在一起，分崩離析了 Everything mixed up. Fragmented.
再也分不清夢境與現實 Can't tell daydreams, night dreams, from reality anymore
有暴風雨，理查-帕克！ Storm, Richard Parker.
不！ No!
榮耀歸於上帝啊！ Praise be to God!
我傾聽您的意旨！ Lord of all worlds!
我和善仁慈的上帝！ The compassionate, the merciful!
啊！ Ah!
出來！ Come out.
理查-帕克！ 出來！ 你一定要看看這個！ Richard Parker! Come out, you have to see this!
真的很美！ It's beautiful!
別躲起來！ 上帝對我們顯靈了！ Don't hide yourself! He's come to us!
這是個神蹟！ It's a miracle!
出來見見上帝啊，理查-帕克！ Come out and see God, Richard Parker!
您為什麼要嚇牠呢？ Why are you scaring him?
我失去了我的家人 Oh, God!
我失去了一切 I've lost my family! I've lost everything!
我投降！，您還想要怎樣？ I surrender! What more do you want?
對不起，理查-帕克 I'm sorry, Richard Parker.
我們快要死了，理查-帕克 We're dying, Richard Parker.
我很抱歉 I'm sorry.
媽爸 拉維 Amma, Appa, Ravi
爸 拉維 我很開心我馬上就要去見你們了 I'm happy I'm going to see you soon.
你感覺到下雨了嗎？ Can you feel the rain?
上帝啊，感謝您賜予我生命 God, thank you for giving me my life.
我準備好了 I'm ready now.
理查-帕克 Richard Parker?
借過！ Excuse me.
閃開！ Move.
不好意思！ Move. Excuse me.
嘿！ 嘿！ Hey! Hey!
閃開！ Hey, come on!
嘿 Hey.
嘿！滾開！這是我的床 Hey, get away. This is my bed.
這是顆人類的牙齒 It was a human tooth?
你還不懂嗎?這是座活生生的食肉島 Don't you see? The island was carnivorous.
食肉島？ 就像捕蠅草一樣？ Carnivorous? Like a Venus Flytrap?
是的，整座島 Yes, the whole island.
這些植物、水和水塘 甚至是每一吋土地 The plants, the water in those pools, the very ground itself.
在白天時，這些水塘積蓄淡水 During the day, those pools held fresh water.
但到了晚上，一些化學反應 But at night, some chemical process
讓水塘裡的水變成了酸水 turned the water in those pools into acid
酸把魚分解掉了 acid that dissolved those fish
這就是為什麼猫鼬會逃竄到樹上 that sent the meerkats scurrying into the trees,
為什麼理查-帕克每晚都會回到船上 and Richard Parker running to the boat.
但那顆牙齒是從何而來的？ But where did the tooth come from?
可能是多年前 某個像我一樣的倒楣鬼 Years ago, some poor fellow, just like me
發現自己被困在了那個島上 must have found himself stranded on that island
像我一樣 他以為他也許能永遠待在那兒 and, like me, thought he might stay there forever.
但所有島在白天給予的 都在夜晚被剝奪回去 But all that the island gave him by day, it took away again by night.
想到他將要一輩子跟猫鼬做伴 To think, how many hours spent with only meerkats for company.
要忍受多少的孤寂？ How much loneliness taken on.
我只知道，最後他死了 All I know is that eventually he died
這座島就把他消化掉了 and the island digested him
只留下了他的牙齒 leaving behind only his teeth.
我看到如果我繼續待在這座島的下場會是如何 I saw how my life would end if I stayed on that island.
孤獨一人，慢慢被遺忘 Alone and forgotten.
我一定要回到我的世界 即使因嘗試而喪生 I had to get back to the world, or die trying.
隔天我花了一整天準備我的船 I spent the next day preparing the boat.
我在船上備足了淡水 I filled my stores with fresh water
吃下大量的海藻 一直到肚子裝不下為止 ate seaweed until my stomach could take no more
為了理查-帕克 我儘可能地 and brought as many meerkats as I could fit
把船艙塞滿猫鼬 into the storage locker for Richard Parker.
當然，我不能拋下牠 I couldn't leave without him, of course.
拋下牠就等於殺了牠 It would mean killing him.
所以我等著牠回來 And so, I waited for his return.
我知道牠不會遲到的 I knew he wouldn't be late.
理查-帕克！ Richard Parker!
再也沒人見過這座漂浮的小島 No one has seen that floating island since.
你在書上也找不到 任何有關那種樹的描述 And you won't read about those trees in any nature book.
然而，如果我沒找到這個島 我早就死了 And yet, if I hadn't found those shores, I would have died.
如果我沒有發現這顆牙齒 If I hadn't discovered that tooth,
我將會永遠孤獨地迷失在這裡 I would have been lost, alone forever.
雖然上帝看起來好像遺棄了我 Even when God seemed to have abandoned me
但其實祂一直看著我 He was watching.
雖然祂對我所受的磨難好像不痛不癢 Even when He seemed indifferent to my suffering
但祂仍然看顧著我 He was watching.
當我對獲救感到絕望時，祂讓我休養生息 And when I was beyond all hope of saving, He gave me rest
也給了我繼續這趟旅程的啟示 then gave me a sign to continue my journey.
當我們在墨西哥靠岸時 By the time we reached the Mexican shore,
我還是害怕得不敢鬆開我的船 I was afraid to let go of the boat.
我氣力放盡，虛弱不堪 My strength was gone. I was so weak.
我害怕在這兩呎深的水裡 I was afraid that in two feet of water,
在快要得救的時候 自己就淹死了 so close to deliverance..I would drown.
我掙扎著走上岸邊，然後撲倒在沙灘上 I struggled to shore and fell upon the sand.
這沙灘是如此的溫暖、柔和 It was warm and soft
我的臉就像 緊貼著上帝的臉頰 like pressing my face against the cheek of God.
在某處，有雙笑眼看著我成功抵達了 And somewhere, two eyes were smiling at having me there.
我累壞了，幾乎動彈不得 I was so spent, I could hardly move.
然後理查-帕克走到我面前 And so, Richard Parker went ahead of me.
牠伸展了一下四肢，便沿著海岸走去 He stretched his legs and walked along the shore.
在接近叢林邊緣時，牠停了下來 At the edge of the jungle, he stopped.
我相信 牠將會回過頭來看我一眼 I was certain he was going to look back at me
牠垂下牠的耳朵，低吼一聲 flatten his ears to his head, growl.
以某種方式 結束我們之間的關係 That he would bring our relationship to an end in some way.
但牠只是凝望著前方的叢林 But he just stared ahead into the jungle.
然後，理查-帕克，我殘暴的同伴 And then, Richard Parker, my fierce companion
一個逼使我生存下來的可怕夥伴 the terrible one who kept me alive
就這樣永遠消失在我的生命中 disappeared forever from my life.
幾個小時以後，有人類發現了我 After a few hours, a member of my own species found me.
他離開，再帶了一群人來將我抬走 He left and returned with a group who carried me away.
我哭得像個孩子 I wept like a child.
不是因對劫後餘生而感到激動 雖然我是 Not because I was overwhelmed at having survived, although I was.
我哭是因為理查-帕克 如此隨便地拋下我 I was weeping because Richard Parker left me so unceremoniously.
這傷透了我的心 It broke my heart.
我父親說的對 You know, my father was right.
理查-帕克從沒把我當作牠的朋友 Richard Parker never saw me as his friend.
在我們經歷這一切後 牠卻連頭也不回 After all we had been through, he didn't even look back.
但我仍然相信 牠看我的眼神中 But I have to believe there was more in his eyes
還有別的東西 默默地在會看著我， than my own reflection staring back at me.
我知道的，我有感覺到 I know it. I felt it.
即使我無法去證明它 Even if I can't prove it.
我已經失去了好多好多 You know, I've left so much behind.
我的家人、動物園、印度、阿南蒂 My family, the zoo, India, Anandi.
我想整個人生就是不斷地放下 I suppose, in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go.
但最讓人傷痛的是 But what always hurts the most
在當時沒能與他們好好的道別 is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
我從未能夠感謝我父親 所給我的教導 I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him.
我沒辦法再告訴他，如果沒有他的教導 To tell him, without his lessons
我根本不可能存活！ I would never have survived.
我知道理查-帕克是隻老虎，但願我曾對牠說： I know Richard Parker is a tiger, but I wish I had said
「都結束了，我們活下來了」 "It's over. We survived.
「謝謝你救了我的命」「我愛你，理查-帕克」 "Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker.
「你一直陪在我身邊」 "You will always be with me.
「願上帝與你同在」 "May God be with you."
我不知道該怎麼說 I don't know what to say.
難以令人置信，對吧？ It's hard to believe, isn't it?
這故事有好多東西需要消化 It is a lot to take in.
才能搞清楚，它真正的涵義 To figure out what it all means.
不，如果它真的發生了，它就是發生了 If it happened, it happened.
為什麼它一定要有什麼涵義呢？ Why should it have to mean anything?
但有些事非常不可思議 Some of it is pretty incredible.
因為我是這次船難 唯一的倖存者 See, I was the only one who survived the shipwreck.
當我在住院休養時 日本船東派了兩個人 So the Japanese shipping company sent two men to talk to me
來墨西哥的醫院跟我談 in the Mexican hospital where I was recovering.
我仍保留著一份報告的副本 I still have a copy of their report.
他們有些保險理賠要搞定 They had insurance claims to settle
所以他們想查出船為何沉沒 and they wanted to find out why the ship sank.
同樣地，他們也不相信我 They didn't believe me, either.
成千上萬隻的猫鼬 和一個食人的浮島 Thousands of meerkats on a floating carnivorous island
卻從沒有人見過？ and no one has ever seen it?
是的，就像我說的 Yes, just like I told you.
香蕉浮不起來 Bananas don't float.
你提香蕉幹什麼？ Why are you talking about bananas?
你剛說 紅毛猩猩坐在一捆香蕉上飄向你 You said the orangutan floated to you on a bundle of bananas.
但香蕉不能浮在水上 But bananas don't float.
你確定香蕉不行嗎？ Are you sure about that?
當然可以了，你自己試試看 Of course they do. Try it for yourself.
不論如何，我們不來 討論香蕉或者猫鼬的 In any case, we are not here to talk about bananas or meerkats.
我剛剛講了一個很長的故事 我很累了 Look, I've just told you a long story and I'm very tired.
我們來此是因為一艘日本貨船 在太平洋沉沒了 We are here because a Japanese cargo ship sank in the Pacific.
這件事我永遠忘不了 Something I never forget.
我失去了全家人 I lost my whole family.
幫他倒點水 Get him some water.
我們不是想逼你 We don't mean to push you.
在此我們致上最深切的同情 And you have our deepest sympathies.
但我們遠道而來 But we have come a long way
卻還是一點都沒辦法瞭解船為何沉沒 and we are no closer to understanding why the ship sank.
因為我也不知道啊！ Because I don't know.
當時我正在睡覺，被一些東西吵醒了 I was asleep. Something woke me up.
可能發生了爆炸，我也不能確定 It could have been an explosion, I can't be sure.
然後船就沉沒了 And then the ship sank.
你們還想知道些什麼？ What else do you want from me?
一個不會讓我們 看起來像是傻瓜的故事 A story that won't make us look like fools.
我們需要一個更簡單明瞭的故事來寫報告 We need a simpler story for our report.
一個我們的公司能夠理解 One our company can understand.
一個大家都能相信的故事 A story we can all believe.
所以你們想要一個沒有未知事物的故事？ So, a story without things you've never seen before.
是的 That's right.
沒有任何驚奇、沒有動物或者小島 Without surprises. Without animals or islands.
是的，只要真相 Yes. The truth.
那麼，你怎麼辦？ So, what did you do?
我告訴他們另一個故事 I told them another story.
有四個人存活了下來 Four of us survived.
廚師和水手已經登上了救生艇 The cook and the sailor were already aboard.
廚師扔給我一個救生圈 將我拉上了船 The cook threw me a lifebuoy and pulled me aboard
母親抱著一些香蕉，也登上了救生艇 and Mother held on to some bananas and made it to the lifeboat.
廚師是一個很噁心的人 The cook was a disgusting man.
他吃老鼠！ He ate a rat.
我們的食物能維持幾週，但最初幾天他發現老鼠 We had food enough for weeks, but he found the rat in the first few days
還殺了牠，然後把老鼠曬成肉乾來吃 and he killed it, dried it in the sun and ate it.
他根本是個畜牲 He was such a brute, that man.
但他詭計多端 But he was resourceful.
做一個木筏來捕魚就是他的主意 It was his idea to build the raft to catch fish.
如果沒有他 我們可能頭幾天就死了 We would have died in those first few days without him.
水手就是那個吃飯配肉汁的佛教徒 The sailor was the same man who brought rice and gravy, the Buddhist.
我們聽不懂他在說什麼 只知道他很痛苦 We didn't understand much of what he said, only that he was suffering.
因為他從船上跳下來的時候摔斷了腿 He had broken his leg horribly in the fall.
雖然我們盡力照顧他的傷 但他的腿還是感染了 We tried to set it as best we could, but the leg became infected
廚師說我們必須設法做些什麼 不然他會死 and the cook said that we had to do something or he'd die.
廚師說他可以幫他截肢 The cook said he'd do it,
但我和媽媽必須幫忙壓住水手 but Mother and I had to hold the man down.
我相信他，這是我們該做的 And I believed him, we needed to do it.
所以 So
我反覆著說著：「我很抱歉，我很抱歉」 I kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
他一直盯著我 他的眼神是如此的 And he just kept looking at me. His eyes were so
我永遠不會明白他所受的痛苦 I'll never understand the point of that man's suffering.
我彷彿還能聽見他的聲音 I can still hear him.
「我是個隨喜佛教徒，我吃米飯配肉汁」 The happy Buddhist, he only ate rice and gravy.
當然，我們沒能救活他 We didn't save him, of course.
他死了 He died.
隔天一早 廚師就抓到了他第一隻旗魚 The morning after, the cook caught his first dorado
剛開始我不明白他怎麼辦到的, 但媽媽知道 and I didn't understand what he had done at first, but Mother did
我從沒看過媽媽如此生氣 and I had never seen Mother so angry.
廚師說：「別哭了，開心點！」 "Stop whining and be happy," he said.
「我們需要更多的食物 否則會死掉，這才是重點」 "We need more food or we'll die. That was the whole point."
媽媽說：「什麼才是重點？」 "What was the whole point?" Mother asked.
「為了做魚餌 你讓這可憐的男孩死，你這怪物」 "You let that poor boy die in order to get bait, you monster!"
廚師生起氣來 並對母親舉起了拳頭 The cook got furious. he started towards her with his fists raised,
母親重重打了他一個耳光 and Mother slapped him hard, right across the face.
我嚇呆了！ I was stunned.
我以為他當場會殺了我媽 I thought he was going to kill her right then.
但他沒有 But he didn't.
廚師不只用水手的身體當魚餌 The cook didn't stop with bait either, no.
那個水手 The sailor
他的下場跟老鼠一樣 He went the same way the rat went.
廚師是個詭計多端的人 The cook was a resourceful man.
一週之後，他 It was a week later that he
因為我的關係 Because of me.
因為我抓不住一隻笨海龜 Because I couldn't hold on to a stupid turtle.
牠從我手中滑落並游走了 It slipped out of my hands and swam away.
那個廚師就過來打我的頭 And the cook came up and he punched me on the side of my head
我的牙齒被打得喀喀作響，眼冒金星 and my teeth clacked and I saw stars.
我以為他要繼續揍我 I thought he was going to hit me again
但是母親用拳捶著他 but Mother started pounding on him with her fists
口中尖叫著：「怪物！ 怪物！」 screaming, "Monster, monster!"
她叫我跳到木筏上 She yelled at me to go to the raft.
我以為她要跟我一起走 否則我就不會走了 I thought she was coming with me, or I'd never have
我不知道為什麼 當時我沒讓她先走 I don't know why I didn't make her go first.
我每天都會回想這件事 I think about that every day.
我跳過木筏 回頭看，刀子就從她身上拔出來 I jumped over and turned back just as the knife came out.
我無能為力 There wasn't anything I could do.
也無法把目光移開 I couldn't look away.
他把她的屍體扔到船外 He threw her body overboard.
鯊魚就圍上來了 And then the sharks came.
然後我鯊魚們 And I saw them...
我只能看著 I saw.
隔天，我就殺了廚師 The next day, I killed him.
他甚至沒反抗 他知道自己太過分了 He didn't even fight back. He knew he had gone too far
哪怕以他自己的標準來衡量 even by his own standards.
我拿起他放在凳子上的刀 He'd left the knife out on the bench,
做了他對水手做過的事 and I did to him what he did to the sailor.
他很邪惡，但更可惡的是，他 He was such an evil man, but worse still, he
他激發出我內心的邪惡 He brought the evil out in me.
而我從此以後都要面對這件事 And I have to live with that.
我獨自一人在救生艇上 I was alone in a lifeboat
漂流橫渡太平洋 drifting across the Pacific Ocean.
最後我活下來了 And I survived.
我講完後 他們就沒有再多問了 After that, they had no more questions.
調查員看起來 也不是很喜歡這個故事 The investigators didn't seem to like the story, exactly.
他們謝謝我，祝我早日康復，然後就離開了 But they thanked me, they wished me well, and they left.
所以在這故事裡 So the stories
斑馬和水手 both the zebra and the sailor
都摔斷了他們的腿 broke their leg.
鬣狗殺斑馬跟紅毛猩猩 And the hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan.
那麼 So the hyena is the cook.
鬣狗就是廚師 The hyena is the cook
水手就是斑馬 The sailor is the zebra.
你母親就是那隻紅毛猩猩 Your mother is the orangutan.
同時你就是 And you are
那隻老虎 the tiger.
能問你個問題嗎？ Can I ask you something?
當然可以 Of course.
我告訴你兩個在海上發生的故事 I've told you two stories about what happened out on the ocean.
沒有一個故事能解釋船為什麼沉沒 Neither explains what caused the sinking of the ship
也沒有人能證實那個是真的，那個是假的 and no one can prove which story is true and which is not.
在兩個故事裡，船都沉了 In both stories, the ship sinks
我的家人都死了，而我也飽受折磨 my family dies and I suffer.
沒錯 True.
那你比較喜歡哪一個故事？ So, which story do you prefer?
有老虎的那個 The one with the tiger.
那個故事比較好 That's the better story.
謝謝 Thank you.
上帝也是這個道理 And so it goes with God.
「乾舅舅」是對的 Mamaji was right.
這是個令人驚嘆的故事 It's an amazing story.
你真的願意讓我寫下來？ Will you really let me write it?
當然 Of course.
難道這不是「乾舅舅」要你來此的目的嗎？ Isn't that why Mamaji sent you here, after all?
我太太回來了 My wife is here.
你想留下與我們共進晚餐嗎？ 她很會燒菜喔！ Do you want to stay for dinner? She's an incredible cook.
我不知道你有個老婆 I didn't know you had a wife.
還有一隻貓跟兩個孩子 And a cat and two children.
所以你的故事有個美好的結局 So, your story does have a happy ending.
這個嘛就讓你決定吧 Well, that's up to you.
現在這故事是你的了 The story is yours now.
