亲爱的,我并不感到惊讶 My dear, I can't say I am surprised.
还没送到,没有人拿到 It has not been delivered. No one has it.
或许是女王终于找到她了 Perhaps the queen has finally discovered her.
真希望她会报导我的订婚消息 I had hoped she'd report on my betrothal.
真希望她会报导我的新礼服 I had hoped she'd report on my new dress.
我应该会喜欢... I should have liked...
克蕾丝妲考柏? Cressida Cowper?
那个金发女人爱在别人背后造谣 That blonde backbiter!
我们真的相信是她吗? Do we really believe it is her?
完全说得通 It makes perfect sense.
若我也和考柏小姐一样是老处女 I, too, might turn to writing vicious slander
我可能也会写恶毒的诽谤 if I were practically an old maid like Miss Cowper.
她好尖酸刻薄 She is cruel.
这可怜的孩子显然没受过良好教育 The poor child has clearly been badly brought up.
若我是她妈妈,我会把她赶出去 I would cast her out if I were her mama.
她生性邪恶 She is hell-born.
我觉得她是天才 I think she is a genius.
我等不及看下一期了 I cannot wait for her next issue.
我不会侮辱魔鬼 I will not insult the devil by drawing parallels
将魔鬼和克蕾丝妲考柏相提并论 between him and Cressida Cowper.
魔鬼会说谎、骗人 For one is a liar, a fraud,
魅惑众生 a succubus of the first water,
而此女之行径,笔者前所未闻 and the other is not known to this author.
有来人探访你 You have a visitor.
小潘 Pen.
柯林 Colin.
你还好吗?我很担心你 Are you well? I have been worried.
我很好,柯林 I am well enough, Colin.
但也许你不该来,以防被感染 But perhaps you should not be here, in case it is catching.
我一心想来这里看你 There is nowhere else I would rather be.
我知道你有事想告诉我 I know there is something you wish to tell me.
但我很乐意耐心等待,直到你准备好 But I am happy to be patient until you are ready to unfold
说出你的心声 whatever it is you are feeling.
我现在不能说 I cannot speak about it now.
但我不是因为你做了什么而昏倒 But I certainly did not swoon because of anything you did.
而是因为克蕾丝妲考柏 疯狂地自称是威索顿夫人 Because of Cressida Cowper and her insane claims to be Whistledown.
这令人匪夷所思 It is rather remarkable.
她对你、我和我们的家人百般诽谤 All the unkindnesses she has written about you and me and our families,
然后在我们的订婚宴会上揭露真面目 and then to unmask herself at our engagement party.
克蕾丝妲就是喜欢 霸占不属于她的东西 It's just like Cressida to take that which is not hers.
你觉得真的是她吗? Do you think it is really her?
我总是认为威索顿夫人或许会... I always imagined Lady Whistledown might be more...
更聪明一点 clever, perhaps.
我不打扰你休息了 I shall let you rest.
但在我走之前,我有东西要给你 But before I go, I have something for you.
珠宝工匠刚把戒指镶好 The jeweler has just finished setting it.
哦 Oh...
柯林,这好美啊 Oh, Colin, it is beautiful.
但只有你一半美丽 And yet, still only half as beautiful as you.
这墨水是怎么回事?你在写字吗? What is all this ink? Have you been writing?
对,写信 Yes. Um... Letters.
分享我们的喜讯 To, uh... to share our happy news.
好的 Of course.
那就不打扰你了 I shall leave you to it.
再见,费瑟林顿小姐 Good day, Miss Featherington.
马上要改姓了 For now.
《柏捷顿家族:名门韵事》
我答应要帮葛瑞尔阁下 找社交名媛新娘不是八卦作家 I promised Lord Greer a debutante bride, not a gossip writer.
他取消了婚约 He has rescinded his offer of marriage.
真的吗? Truly?
现在不是笑的时候,小姑娘 This is no occasion to smile, girl.
如果你认为 你可以继续在我的屋檐下工作 If you think you can keep working under my roof
玷污我的好名声,那你就大错特错! and tarnishing my good name, you are sorely mistaken!
我要把你送去跟乔阿姨住 I am sending you to live with your Aunt Jo.
爸爸,你不能那样做 乔安娜阿姨住在威尔斯 Papa, you cannot do that. Aunt Joanna lives in Wales.
没错,你可以写绵羊的八卦 Precisely. You can write gossip about the sheep!
克蕾丝妲,你必须收回你的声明 Cressida, you must take back your statement.
我们可以说柏捷顿夫人 让你喝了太多酒 We can say the Lady Bridgertons gave you too much wine,
你喝醉了 and you were overcome.
你不相信我吗? You do not believe me?
我了解我女儿 I know my daughter.
威索顿夫人是精明的作家 Lady Whistledown is an astute writer.
你有很多天赋,但不包括聪明 You have many gifts, but cleverness is not amongst them.
克蕾丝妲考柏小姐 Miss Cressida Cowper,
奉女王陛下之命,你被召进宫里 you are summoned to the palace at the behest of Her Majesty the Queen.
我们有消息想跟你分享,丹柏莉夫人 We have some news we'd like to share with you, Lady Danbury.
哦 Oh.
我们要卖掉俱乐部 We are selling the club.
那真是太好了 Ah. That is good news.
每见人们采纳我的建议,我倍感欣慰 I am always pleased when people take my advice.
这是正确的决定,蒙卓奇先生 And it is the right decision, Mr. Mondrich.
女王陛下的怒火虽指向别处 Her Majesty's ire is directed elsewhere,
但随时都有可能波及旁人 but it can turn at any moment.
当然,我们不希望 Of course.We do not wish
因为违反规则而引人注目 to draw attention to ourselves by breaking the rules.
胡说 Nonsense!
你们必须引人注目,而且以最佳方式 You must draw attention to yourselves, and in the best way possible,
那就是举办一场舞会 by throwing a ball.
遵守规则固然重要 It is one thing to follow the rules.
但若想赢得比赛 But if you want to win the game,
就必须引领比赛 you must lead it.
否则你们会一直处于被动防守 Otherwise, you will always be on the defensive.
嗯？ Hmm?
什么... Wh... Um...
我们擅长娱乐他人 We do have a way with entertaining.
安德森阁下 Lord Anderson.
柏捷顿夫人,冒昧打扰了 Lady Bridgerton. Forgive my intrusion.
我只是忘了我的...帽子 I simply forgot my, uh... hat.
谢谢 Thank you.
你是不是刚好... Were you just, um...
路过? passing by?
是的,我本可以派仆人来取,对吧? Yes, I suppose I could've sent a footman to fetch this, could I not?
但那样我就见不到你了 But then I would not have been able to see you again.
谢谢你带给我如此愉快的夜晚 Well, to thank you for such an enjoyable evening.
那确实是精彩的夜晚 Well, it was quite a night.Was it not?
你还好吗? - How are you faring? - Uh...
除了有点头疼,我很好 Besides a bit of a headache, I am well.
你好吗? How are you?
我猜你感受到了 我和姐姐之间的不愉快? I take it you sensed a chilly departure between my sister and me?
或许吧 Perhaps.
- 这不是我的事 - 我相信我们会解决的 - Though it is none of my business. - I do believe we will work it out.
童年的怨恨往往会挥之不去 Childhood grievances have a way of lingering. Hm.
我姐姐是长女 My sister was the firstborn.
但你是家中第一个男丁 But you were the first boy.
但我们是成年人了 But we are adults now.
肯定有办法向前走 Surely there is a way forward.
我相信你们有办法解决 I have faith you will find a way.
谢谢 Thank you.
我会让你好好休息,缓解头疼 I shall let you nurse your headache in peace.
但我希望很快能再会 But I do hope to see you soon.
我也是 As do I.
- 你喜欢粉红色的 - 我喜欢粉红色 - You love the pink ones. - I love the color pink.
但我喜欢巧克力马卡龙,班尼迪特 But I like the chocolate macarons. Benedict!
我说过我想吃这两个 I've already said I wanted these two.
- 不行,你不能吃两个 - 但我说过... - No. You can't have two. - But I said...
你今天早上吃了三个 - You had three this morning.
- 才没有! - 你下楼了,我看到你了 - I have not! - Downstairs. I saw you.
- 我吃了一个! - 是真的 - I've had one!
- 不是真的 - 葛雷里看到你了 - Not true. - Gregory saw you.
你说谎,为什么说谎? You are lying. Why are you lying?
- 我没有说谎 - 你有 - I am not lying. - You are.
- 葛雷里! - 什么?我也喜欢巧克力 - Gregory! - What? I like the chocolate ones as well.
我还没... - I have not had... - I wanted them!
- 我想吃! - 好,我有办法 I have the solution.
现在就是时候 -你的家人显然很忙 - There is no time like the present. - Your family is clearly occupied.
放回去,住手 Put them back. Stop.
- 你为什么要插手? - 可以不要分两半吗? - Why are you getting involved? - Can you not just divide them?
他们总是这样,你必须打断他们 They are always like this. You must interrupt.
我认为他们听不到 I do not believe they'll hear me.
- ...三个巧克力! - 没有! - ...three chocolate this morning! - I have not!
你看,打扰一下! Watch. Excuse me!
我染上了瘟疫,你们也都难逃厄运 I have been taken ill of the plague, and you are all doomed by association.
我没有... I haven't had...
三个香蕉马卡龙换一个巧克力 Three banana macrons for the one chocolate.
- 不可能 - 太狡猾了 - Not a chance. - That is devious.
- 太不合理了 - 拜托!为什么不呢? - That's very unreasonable. - Please!
葛雷里,你不能...你为什么要插手? Why not? Gregory, you cannot... Why are you getting involved?
很好 Very well.
- 巧克力的... - 拜托! - Chocolate... - Please.
家人! Family!
谢谢 Thank you.
约翰要代表我们宣布一件小事 John has a small announcement to make on our behalf.
的确是件小事 Very small, indeed.
我们要结婚了 We are to marry.
天啊... Oh, my...
恭喜! Oh, congratulations!
很好,做得好 Very good. Well done.
最后一个马卡龙给你 The last macaron for you.
你会是最美丽的新娘 You shall be the most beautiful bride.
跟达芙妮、凯蒂、潘妮洛碧一样美丽 Well, equal to Daphne. And Kate. And Penelope.
我太开心了,你们是天作之合 I am so pleased. You make a beautiful pair.
谢谢,妈妈 Thank you, Mama.
我们今天得去女装店挑礼服 We must go to the modiste today for your dress.
一切皆有定数 Everything in its time.
你在为巧克力马卡龙闷闷不乐吗? Are you moping about the chocolate macaron?
你知道她是威索顿夫人吗? Did you know she was Lady Whistledown?
你跟潘妮洛碧说过话? You spoke with Penelope this morning?
对,她对考柏小姐的真面目感到沮丧 Yes. She is devastated about Miss Cowper coming forward.
告诉我你并不知情 Tell me you did not know.
不 No.
不知道克蕾丝妲的事 Not about Cressida.
我们的友谊早已变质 但这场闹剧可能是最后一根稻草 The friendship was already souring, but this caper may be the final straw.
但愿如此 I should hope so.
既然你知道她写过那些文章 继续跟她交朋友 I suppose it would be nonsensical for you to have befriended her if you knew,
实在太荒谬了 considering everything she's written.
你对威索顿夫人如此愤怒 You have been so angry with Whistledown.
你会怎么做? What will you do?
我真想拿着干草叉冲到她家 There is a part of me that should like to march to her house with a pitchfork.
如果你希望我这么做,我也会去 And if you wished me to, I still would.
但老实说,最近发生的一切 But in truth,
似乎软化了我 everything that has happened of late has softened me, I suppose.
你是说跟潘妮洛碧的一切 You mean everything with Penelope.
我知道你不想听 但一个人能在短时间之内 I know you do not wish to hear it,but it is truly bewildering
变得如此重要 着实令人困惑 how quickly one person can become all that matters.
我现在唯一关心的是她的幸福 My only concern now is with her well-being.
还有我们的未来 And our future together.
也许我可以威索顿夫人消失 Perhaps I can make Lady Whistledown go away
这样她就无法伤害我们任何人 so she shall not be able to harm any of us again.
你要跟考柏小姐谈谈吗? You will speak with Miss Cowper?
和写手本人谈谈 With the scribe herself.
(骗局、江湖骗子)
我本来要告诉他的 I was going to tell him. I...
但你没有 But you did not.
时机成熟时 And when the time came,
我也没有 neither did I.
因为我现在知道真相会毁了柯林 Because I see now that the truth would destroy Colin.
一旦我出版这一期,我仍打算告诉他 Once I get this issue out, I do still plan to tell him.
不行 No.
无论出于什么原因 我哥哥真的相信...他爱你 For whatever reason, my brother truly believes... he loves you.
若他知道一直是你 写关于我、我们家人、玛莉娜的文章 And if he knew it was you all along, writing about me, our family, Marina,
若他知道我也一直瞒着他那么久... if he knew how long I too have kept this secret from him...
既然停笔是更好的选择 为什么要告诉他? Why tell him when the better thing is for you to put down your pen?
我停不下来 But I cannot stop.
尤其是现在 Especially now.
可以的,如今你有完美的脱身之计 Yes, you can. Now you have the perfect escape.
你的意思是... You don't mean...
尽管克蕾丝妲昨晚的行为荒唐可笑 Oh, as harebrained as her display last night was,
但她帮了你一个忙 她永远写不出有说服力的文章 Cressida has done you a favor. She will never write a convincing issue.
让专栏和她一起消失吧 没有人会知道真相 Let the column die with her name, and no one will be the wiser.
艾洛伊丝,长久以来 我付出太多心血了 Eloise, I have worked too hard for too long.
在所有人当中 我拒绝让克蕾丝妲考柏抢走功劳 Of all people, I refuse to let Cressida Cowper take credit!
- 这会让我心碎 - 那柯林的心呢? - It'd break my heart! - And what of Colin's heart?
- 得知真相会让他心碎 - 可是... - It'd break his to find out the truth. - But...
威索顿夫人是我的名号,不是她的 Lady Whistledown is my name, not hers.
你即将成为柏捷顿夫人 Your name is about to be Bridgerton.
你不能两者兼得 You cannot be both.
我大半辈子... For much of my life...
成为你家的一分子是我的梦想 being a part of your family is all I have wanted.
曾经,我愿意付出任何代价 认识威索顿夫人 And there was a time I'd've given anything to know Lady Whistledown.
你风光了一阵子 You had a good run for a while.
但这终究是八卦 But it is just gossip.
放下吧 Let it go.
女王陛下现在要见你 Her Majesty will see you now.
原来是这位淑女自称是威索顿夫人 So... this is the young lady claiming to be Lady Whistledown.
是的,陛下 Yes, Your Majesty.
你为什么现在才站出来? And why have you come forward now?
我...我想索取我的奖赏,陛下 I... I should like to claim my reward, Your Majesty.
对伟大的威索顿夫人而言 区区五千英镑应该不算什么 A measly ￡5,000 should be nothing to the great Lady Whistledown.
你有收费,不是吗? You do charge, do you not?
我先行索取 以防他人夺走我应得的 I claim it so no one else can take what is rightfully mine.
我向来言出必行 Well, I am a woman of my word.
只要你给我最新一期 我便会给你奖赏 I will give you your reward as soon as you give me your latest issue.
理应在今早出版的那一刊 The one that should've been published this morning.
对不起,陛下,是这样的... Forgive me, Your Majesty. You see...
由于悬赏的缘故 我的出版商变得谨慎 with the bounty on my head, my publisher has grown wary.
但我应该很快就能拿出新的一期 But I should have an issue forthcoming... very soon.
“知己知彼”,考柏小姐 "Know thine enemy," Miss Cowper.
我对威索顿夫人的了解 如同了解我自己一般 I know Lady Whistledown as well as I know myself.
她最大的优势在于她观察敏锐 Her greatest strength is that she is an observer.
你除了观察自己以外 还观察到什么? What have you observed in your life other than yourself?
我会观察 I observe.
就在昨晚,我观察到 法兰雀丝卡小姐和基尔马丁阁下 Just last night, I observed Miss Francesca and Lord Kilmartin.
整晚都在柏捷顿宅邸 Together all night at Bridgerton House.
但我相信还有时间 But I am sure there is still time
让法兰雀丝卡小姐回心转意 选择侯爵 to sway Miss Francesca towards the marquess.
考柏小姐,真正的威索顿夫人 Hm. Miss Cowper, the real Lady Whistledown
绝对不会轻易提供协助 would never make such an easy offer of assistance.
少了势均力敌的对手 我不在乎法兰雀丝卡小姐 Without a worthy opponent, I no longer care what mediocre match
选择哪位平庸之辈 Miss Francesca chooses to make.
除非你能印出有说服力的一期 Unless you can print a convincing issue,
我不想在宫廷里再见到你 I do not wish to see you in my court again.
克蕾丝妲 Cressida.
我严禁你尝试出版 I forbid you from attempting to publish.
我别无选择,妈妈 她会把我赶出社交界 I do not have a choice, Mama. She'll cast me out of society.
你父亲已经把你赶出社交界 Your father has already cast you out of society.
我不要跟乔安娜阿姨住 I will not live with Aunt Joanna.
万一真正的威索顿夫人 决定再出版一次? And when the real...the real Lady Whistledown decides to publish again?
她今天早上没有出版 也许我把她吓跑了 Well, she did not publish this morning. Perhaps I have scared her away.
我还能做什么? What else am I to do?
印刷一期 可能是我赢回女王好感的唯一机会 Printing an issue may be my only chance of winning back the queen's favor.
若你执意出版 坐实威索顿夫人的恶名 If you publish and cement your reputation as Whistledown,
没有人会娶你 no one will marry you.
我已经嫁不出去了 No one will marry me now.
我很乐意在这里举办婚礼早餐 Well, I should love to have the wedding breakfast here.
除非你母亲想举办,基尔马丁阁下 Unless your mother wishes to host it, Lord Kilmartin.
若我有独生子,我会争取这个机会 If I had an only child, I might fight for my chance.
我们还没宣布订婚,妈妈 We are yet to announce the betrothal, Mama.
先解决这个问题 Let us settle on that first.
我母亲唯一会争取的 也许是永远不当女主人 The only thing my mother might fight for is the chance never to be hostess.
我们应该讨论宣布订婚的事 We should talk about announcing your betrothal.
- 至于女王... - 我们已经讨论过了 - As far as the queen is conc... - In fact, we have discussed this.
我明白我不是女王为你女儿 I realize I was not the queen's first choice
挑选的首选对象 for your daughter.
那是因为她过于关注法兰雀丝卡 Well, only because she gave so much attention to Francesca.
我认为最好等到社交季进入尾声 I simply think it might be wise to, uh, wait
再宣布你们订婚的消息 until nearer the end of the season before announcing your intentions.
这样我们就可以 悄悄回到乡下庄园举办婚礼 That way, we can all slink off to our country homes for the wedding,
女王可以在下一季开始时 挑选新的绝世美艳 and the queen can pick a fresh diamond at the start of next season.
可是... - It is only that... - Hm.
我们不想等那么久 ...we do not wish to wait that long.
我们想要一起建立一个家 We should like to start setting up a home together.
我们认为找女王谈谈 也许是最明智的决定 We think speaking to the queen may be the wisest decision.
你们认为能应付得了就行 Well, if you think you are up to it.
我们希望你跟女王谈谈 We would like you to speak to the queen.
我想用黄丝带装饰所有栏杆 I am thinking yellow ribbons across all of the banisters
还有从教堂到婚宴的四轮马车上 and... gilt flowers covering the carriage
覆盖着镀金的花朵 from the church to the reception.
很有品味,夫人 Very tasteful, my lady.
我们要坐什么?二轮马车? And what shall we ride in? A cart?
我结婚的时候没有镀金的花朵 I did not get gilt flowers when I was wed.
因为你嫁的不是家财万贯的男人 Because you were not marrying a man with unlimited funds.
我会抱你,亲爱的 I will carry you, my love.
不要 No.
我宁愿坐金碧辉煌的马车 I'd rather a gilt carriage.
我不明白为什么潘妮洛碧 能得到这样的待遇 I do not see why Penelope should get such treatment.
婚礼再重要,也比不上怀孕吧 Weddings are surely not as important as pregnancies.
潘妮洛碧在哪里? Where is Penelope?
她不可能一直不舒服吧 She cannot still be unwell.
潘妮洛碧? Penelope?
“潘妮洛碧” "Penelope."
(《威索顿夫人的韵事报》)
你在这里做什么? What are you doing up here?
嗯？ Hm?
阅读旧的《韵事报》 Oh. Reading old issues of Whistledown.
我还是不舒服 I am still not feeling well.
潘妮洛碧 Penelope.
你成功俘获了出身名门 财力雄厚的男人 You have managed to capture the affections of a man of great name and means.
你的余生可以悠闲度日 什么都不用做 You've the rest of your life to lie around and do nothing.
但现在,在你步入礼堂 完成这桩婚事之前 But for now, until you walk down the aisle and settle into this marriage,
你的职责是让柏捷顿先生觉得 your duty is to make Mr. Bridgerton feel
自己是世界上最重要的人 as if he is the most important person in the world.
要完全迎合你丈夫 To cater entirely to your husband.
他的梦想,他的愿望 His dreams, his wishes.
至少刚开始是这样 At least in the beginning.
那我的梦想呢? What about my dreams?
什么梦想? What dreams?
淑女没有梦想 Ladies do not have dreams.
有丈夫就够了 They have husbands.
如果你够幸运,并且履行了妻子职责 And if you are lucky and you fulfill your role,
也许你的愿望 sometimes what you wish for
可以透过他实现 may come true... through him.
你父亲有时很无情 Your father could be cruel.
软弱无能 A weak man.
我当初为了保障而嫁给他 I chose a match for security,
没想到他连这点都做不到 and he could not even provide that.
但他给了我你们姐妹 But he gave me you girls.
我最大的心愿 是你们三个能嫁得比我好 And my greatest wish has always been for you three to do better than I did.
而你做到了 And you have.
你很幸运,潘妮洛碧 You are lucky, Penelope.
别认为这是理所当然的 Do not take that for granted.
跟你一起用餐很愉快 It is pleasant sharing a meal with you.
我想这是第一次 - Our first, I believe. - Mmm.
如果你喜欢我的厨师做的司康 你一定会喜欢他做的所有料理 Well, if you like my cook's scones, I do think you'd love her whole spread.
你是想把我介绍给你的厨师吗? Are you trying to push me off onto your cook?
我过几天要举办晚宴 I am hosting a dinner party later this week.
邀请你、我和我的挚友保罗 For you and me and my dear friend Paul.
你会来吗? Will you come?
我对你的心意需要经过朋友认可? Are my intentions towards you being peer-reviewed?
差不多是这个意思 Mmm. Something like that.
毕竟我见过你的家人 After all, I met your family.
你也应该认识我亲近的人 It is only fair you meet those dear to me.
太棒了 Wonderful. Mmm.
你... You...
我敬你,基尔马丁阁下 - Wow. - Cheers, Lord Kilmartin.
希望你很快就能成为我们的家人 To having you join our family very, very soon, I hope.
- 你能和我们聚聚真是太好了 - 荣幸之至 - A pleasure to have you out with us. - The pleasure is mine.
你今晚心情似乎特别好 是不是被爱冲昏头了? Ah. Your spirits seem high tonight. Have you gone all simple with love?
绅士们!这是我最好的白兰地之一 Gentlemen! One of my finest bottles of brandy.
啊！ Ah!
我可不能把它留给新主人 I cannot have it going to the new proprietor.
又有一瓶? 真希望你每周都关门大吉送好礼 Another? You'll have us wish you closed the club every week.
可惜这是最后一瓶了 Sadly, this is the very last bottle.
哦 Ah...
该死,我以为至少能再倒几杯 Damn. I thought there were at least a few more pours.
这杯酒是你的 Surely the drink is yours, to celebrate your last night
庆祝你拥有这家优秀俱乐部最后一晚 owning this fine institution.
你是指哀悼最后一晚 - You mean to mourn my last night. - Mm.
我拒绝喝你这杯同情酒 I refuse your pity drink.
如果是同情酒,也许我能喝一杯 Well, if it is a pity drink, then perhaps I deserve it.
什么? What?
- 你? - 你说得对 - You? - You are right.
爱情把我冲昏了头 这周我连个句子都写不出来 Love has made me so simple I cannot even write a sentence this week.
简直是折磨 It is torture, really.
你要写什么? What do you need to write?
其实我正在写手稿 I am writing a manuscript, in fact.
哦 Oh...
是吗? Are you?
- 是的 - 是吗? - Yeah. - Yeah?
内容是什么? What is it about?
我在整理我的旅行故事 I am editing the story of my travels.
我原本是这么打算的 Or, in principle, I am.
不... No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.
为什么?你认为你能喝? Why? You think you deserve it?
没有目标,看不到前方的路 purposeless, with no discernible path forward.
什么？ What?
现在不是你最幸福的时刻吗? And are you not the happiest you have ever been?
也对,那倒是真的 Oh, right. That is true, yes.
我想这杯酒应该归我 I think the drink is mine.
嗯？ Mm?
如果我没理解错的话 If I am correct in reading
这场比赛的赢家是最幸运的人 that the winner of this game is whoever is the most fortunate.
不!请不要说些 关于我们妹妹的感伤话 No! Please do not start saying sentimental things about our sister.
我本来想说,我是我们当中最幸运的 I was going to say I am the most fortunate amongst us
因为我又发现了另一瓶 because I have spotted another bottle.
- 是的! - 对! - He has! - He has!
没错! Fortunate, indeed!
- 鹰眼 - 对 - Hawkeye. - Yeah.
漂亮 Beautiful.
谢谢 Thank you.
敬蒙卓奇先生的优秀俱乐部 To Mr. Mondrich's fine club.
- 敬俱乐部 - 敬俱乐部 - To the club. - To the club.
- 哇 - 再来一杯 - Wow. - Another.
我们要把这些喝完 We must finish it.
你得喝,你是家族的一员 You have to. You are in the family.
不,我不喝 No. I'll say no.
给你一杯,蒙卓奇 One for you, Mondrich.
还够再来一杯 There's enough for one more.
《韵事报》 Whistledown.
此为天主之言 This is the Word of the Lord.
感谢上帝 Thanks be to God.

这是第一次宣告婚讯 This is the first time of asking.

不应该在神圣的婚姻中结合的 原因或正当理由 why these two persons should not be joined together in Holy Matrimony...

在此举行婚礼 in two weeks' time.
今日的宣告到此为止 That brings me to the end of my words today.
请各位平安散去 Now, go forth in peace
爱主、事奉主 to love and serve the Lord.
我马上过去 I will join you in a moment.
- 很高兴看到你气色那么好 - 我感觉好多了 - It is good to see you looking well. - I am feeling much better.
再过不久,我们就要正式结婚了 And soon, we shall officially be married.
若你还愿意嫁给我? If you will still have me?
柯林,我怎么会不愿意? Colin, in what world would I not?
我知道你一直有事想告诉我 I know there is something you have been meaning to tell me.
有件事我想告诉你很久了 There is something I've been meaning to tell you for a very long time.
从我们相遇的那一刻,我就爱上你了 That I have loved you since the moment we met.
这段时间长得有些尴尬 An embarrassingly long time, really.
即使是我假装和你当朋友的那些年... Even the years I pretended to be your friend, I was, but...
我默默地爱着你 I loved you in secret.
我一直都爱着你,柯林 I have always loved you, Colin.
我会用一辈子的时间 I will spend a lifetime
请你原谅我 因为我没有早点看出你的心意 begging your forgiveness for not seeing you sooner.
不用了 There is no need.
世界上没有什么 比跟你在一起更让我幸福 There is nothing in the world that makes me happier than being with you.
柯林,你在做什么? Colin, what are you doing?
跳舞 Mm, dancing
和我未来的妻子 在我们要举行婚礼的教堂里跳舞 with my future wife in the church where we will be married.
你小时候受过惩罚吗? Were you ever punished as a child?
说到这... On that note...
弟弟? Uh... Brother?
姐姐 Sister.
向你介绍,凯席可夫人 May I present Lady Keswick.
你们俩以前见过面吗? Have you two met before?
我们没见过面 I do not believe we have.
我是安德森阁下,幸会 Lord Anderson. A pleasure.
- 我正要去找... - 能认识你是我的荣幸 - I was about to speak with someone... - The pleasure is all mine.
人们热烈讨论你的到来 Your arrival has been the talk of the town.
我早就想认识你了 I have been so eager to meet you.
我让你们俩认识一下 I'll let the two of you... get acquainted.
你姐姐告诉我,你和我一样丧偶 Your sister tells me you are widowed, like me.
哈 Ha.
这... Well...
你好,艾洛伊丝 Hello, Eloise.
不 No. No.
如果你想忏悔,就必须进去教堂 You know, if you wish to repent, you must go inside the church.
艾洛伊丝,我溜出来了 不要告诉任何人我在这里 Eloise, I've slipped out. Do not tell anyone I am here.
我以为你喜欢大家的关注 I'd think you'd relish the attention.
- 我不是来引起关注的 - 你为何而来? - I did not come forward for attention. - Why, then?
也许是因为...隐秘的生活太孤独了 Perhaps because... it is a lonely life, living in secret.
我想知道你要不要跟我合作 And I wondered if, possibly, you would like to join me.
你喜欢文字,起码喜爱阅读 You do so enjoy words. Reading, at least,
也许你会愿意帮我写专栏? and perhaps you might like to help me write the column?
克蕾丝妲 难道你不记得关于我的文章吗? Cressida, do you not remember what was written about me last year?
你在《韵事报》里写了什么? What you wrote in Whistledown?
当然 Of course.
对不起,我不知道当初为何要那样写 Forgive me. I do not know why I wrote it, really.
但我们可以一起弥补过错 But together, we can right the wrong,
在我们的第一期高度赞扬你的品格 with high praise of your character in our very first issue.
我不想跟你合作 也不能再做你的朋友了 I do not wish to be your collaborator. And I cannot be your friend any longer.
很抱歉 I am sorry.
这真的是因为《韵事报》吗? Is this truly about Whistledown?
怪不得潘妮洛碧会抛下你 It is no wonder Penelope abandoned you.
你只会说个不停 All you ever do is talk.
你显然嫉妒我有所成就 You are clearly just envious that I have made something of myself.
也许我很羡慕《韵事报》 Perhaps I am envious of Whistledown.
那相当了不起 It is quite a feat.
经历了几乎快被人遗忘的社交季后 And after spending a season feeling nearly invisible,
我几乎能理解为何有人会写这种文章 I almost understand why one might be driven to write it.
恭喜你努力取得的成功 Congratulations on your hard-earned success.
很明显,你怀的是女孩 Clearly you are having a girl.
所以你最近看起来黯淡无光 That is the reason you are so lacking in sparkle lately.
什么意思? What do you mean?
据说怀女孩会偷走母亲的美貌 It is said baby girls steal one's beauty.
你看不出来吗,妈妈? Can you not see it, Mama?
他们真是迷人的一对,不是吗? They make such a charming couple, do they not?
我觉得你看起来像巧克力盒一样迷人 I think you look as charming as a chocolate box.
我想你会回来听下次的订婚公告吧 I suppose you will be back for the next reading of the banns.
是的 Yes.
他们希望我代他们向女王传达喜讯 They wish for me to speak to the queen on their behalf.
对,你比他们更适合 女王期待表达流畅 Yes, better you than them. The queen will expect a performance.
他们俩...他们还会长时间沉默吗? And with these two... Do they still sit in prolonged silences?
他们现在话比较多了 - Well, they do talk more now. - Mm.
我已经逐渐尊重他们的婚姻了 I have grown to respect their match.
我只是担心,若女王逼问得太紧... I am simply worried if the queen presses too much, then...
她可能会看出你仍心存疑虑 She may see that you still have some doubts.
只要法兰雀丝卡幸福 我的疑虑无关紧要 Oh, my doubts do not matter if Francesca is happy.
但若女王怀疑,你的疑虑就重要了 But they do if the queen suspects them.
她可能会觉得有权反对他们的婚姻 She may feel emboldened to oppose their match.
过来,亲爱的 Come here. Oh, my dear.
丹柏莉夫人 Lady Danbury.
那不是很棒吗? Wasn't that wonderful?
- 对! - 太棒了! - Yes! - Oh, marvelous!
在某种程度上 门廊遮档了广场的视野 In a way, the portico seals the vista from the square,
这是个挺聪明的设计 which is rather clever.
女王的位子应该更高 位于窗户的正中央 The queen's seat should be raised higher, right in the center of the windows.
并确保她进来时 没有东西挡住她的视线 Oh. And make sure nothing hinders her view as she comes in.
玩得开心吗? Are you enjoying yourself?
我很想为梅费尔举办最棒的舞会 I am enjoying the idea of giving the best ball Mayfair has ever seen.
绿色餐巾还不错,但有点低调 The green napkins are rather fine but a little understated,
所以我更倾向于银色 so I am leaning towards the silver.
跟我们的蛋糕盘很搭 还是你觉得太高调了? A very nice pairing with our cake plates. Or do you think they're too much?
不会 我们要筹划梅费尔最棒的婚礼 Never. Let us plan the greatest wedding Mayfair has ever seen.
那真是太好了 Mmm! That is music to my ears.
说到蛋糕,薇莉建议做四层 Now, for the cake, Varley suggested four tiers,
但考虑到我们的宾客名单 我们得做五层 but with our guest list, we shall have to have five.
谢谢,德拉克洛瓦夫人 这实属临时,谢谢 - Thank you, Madame Delacroix. - And such short notice. Thank you.
潘妮洛碧小姐! Miss Penelope!
许久不见 It has been too long.
直到送报男孩送来最后一期专栏 It was not until your delivery boy dropped off your last column
我才得知你订婚了 that I learned you are engaged.
对,我非常开心 Yes. I am very happy.
对不起,这几周发生好多事情 Forgive me. These last weeks have been a whirlwind.
我替你高兴 I am happy for you.
你偷偷溜出去写专栏时 And when you sneak out to write your column,
我想你会告诉柏捷顿先生 I assume you will tell Mr. Bridgerton...
这正是我要告诉你的 That is what I've come to tell you.
我要任由考柏小姐夺走专栏 I am letting Miss Cowper take credit for the column.
有订婚消息的那一期将是最后一期 The issue about my engagement will be my last.
潘妮洛碧,专栏是你毕生的心血 Penelope, that column's your life's work.
我不能再写了 I cannot continue writing.
我找到了真爱,珍妮佛 我不想把这视为理所当然 I've found a love match, Genevieve. I do not wish to take that for granted.
我妈妈让我来挑选婚纱的布料样品 My mama has sent me for some fabric samples for my wedding dress.
我做裁缝最喜欢的一部分... You know my favorite part about dressmaking...
就是看到女人穿上婚纱时 脸上闪耀的光芒 is seeing the glow on a woman's face when she puts the dress on.
我无法想像自己放弃那种感觉 I can't imagine ever giving that feeling up.
无论如何 At any rate,
我们会为你做最漂亮的婚纱 we will make you the most beautiful dress.
我刚才被俱乐部除名了 I was just ousted from my club.
- 为什么? - 因为你女儿! - Why? - Because of your daughter!
不然呢?我要收回她的嫁妆 Why else do you think? I am pulling her dowry.
大人,她会失去所有出嫁的机会 My lord, she will lose all prospects.
我不在乎 显然现在伦敦没有男人会娶她! I do not care. Clearly, no man in London will have her now!
妈妈,怎么了? Mama, what is wrong?
你在这里做什么? 你怎么不在房间里? What are you doing in here? Why are you not in your room?
我的房间没有桌子 我在写《韵事报》 There is no desk in my room. I am writing a Whistledown.
很好 Good.
你父亲因为这一切 刚被他的俱乐部除名了 Your father was just ousted from his club because of all of this.
他要收回你的嫁妆 He is withdrawing your dowry.
五千英镑可能不够生活 ￡5,000 may not be much to live on,
但作为嫁妆 but as a dowry,
或许足以帮你从欧洲大陆找到丈夫 it may be enough to help lure you a husband from the continent.
或是在乡下找 Or the countryside.
某个平民 Someone.
我们必须在威索顿夫人 We must get that reward
决定再次出版之前拿到赏金 before the real Whistledown decides to publish again.
把你写的东西念给我听 Read me what you have written.
“亲爱的读者,是我,威索顿夫人 "Dear Reader, it is I, Lady Whistledown."
今天我给大家带来了 来自不同地方的八卦 "Today, I bring you much gossip from about the many lands."
五湖四海,四面八方” "Near and far... far and wide."
就这样吗? Is that all?
暂时是这样 So far.
天啊 Oh, dear.
妈妈...我好害怕 Mama... I am frightened.
(《威索顿夫人的韵事报》)
“在世上所有女人之中 作家是最坏的女人 "Of all bitches, dead or alive, a scribbling woman is the most canine."
那句话若属实 那么这位作者会发狠给你看” "If that should be true, then this author would like to show you her teeth."
写得好 Clever.
所以你是家中次子? So, you are second son?
尽我所能扮演放荡不羁的角色 And trying my best to fit the ne'er-do-well reputation.
你会以创造性的活动来消磨时间吗? Do you fill your time with any creative pursuits?
你写作吗?或者素描?还是...绘画? Do you write? Or draw? Or... paint?
没有,我... No. I...
哦 Uh...
我... I...
偶尔在宴会上跳舞 ...dance sometimes at parties.
保罗是艺术赞助人 Uh, Paul is a patron of the arts.
他把时间花在支持剧院上 He spends his time supporting the theater.
- 原来如此 - 我就是这样认识蒂莉的 - I see. - It is how Tilley and I met.
她每周都在她的包厢 You know she is at her box every week.
这我就不知道了 I did not know that.
我永远不会忘记我第一次见到她那天 I shall never forget the first day I saw her.
看完《无事生非》的演出后 After a performance of Much Ado About Nothing,
我走到后台,她就在那里 I walked backstage, and there she was,
痛斥导演擅自删改这出戏 ripping into the director for "bowdlerizing" the play.
难道我要忍受一个蠢才 Am I to stand for a lesser mind's
用道德观点窜改天才的杰作吗? sanitized bastardization of a genius's great work?
让我猜猜 Let me guess.
她有要你“非常害怕她”吗? Did she tell you to be "very, very afraid of her"?
- 没错 - 你们两个都要怕我 - Exactly that. - And so you should be, both of you.
柏捷顿先生没喝酒 Mr. Bridgerton is dry.
叫我班尼迪特 Oh. Benedict.
班尼迪特 Benedict.
班尼迪特 So, Benedict,
你认识蒂莉时,她在教训谁? who was Tilley lecturing when you first met her?
- 别这样 - 我想是热气球驾驶员 - Oh, come on. - I believe it was an aeronaut.
或者更确切地说,是群众对他起哄 Or rather, the crowd heckling him.
今晚的音乐很动听,不是吗? The music is quite pleasant tonight, is it not?
晚安 Ah. Good evening.
基尔马丁阁下 - Ah. - Lord Kilmartin.
正是如此 Absolutely, yes.
马可士 Marcus.
我还想让你认识几位朋友 A few more friends I should like you to meet.
幸会 A pleasure.
淑女们,晚安 Ladies, good evening.
凯席可夫人 葛洛斯特夫人 维卡斯帕林夫人 Lady Keswick, Lady Gloucester, Lady Vikaspuri.
我从不喜欢那颜色 但穿在你身上很好看 I have never liked that color, but it is winning on you.
谢谢,妈妈 Thank you, Mama.
好美啊 Beautiful job.
你在哭吗? Are you crying?
- 亲爱的 - 不 - Oh, my sweet. - No.
我怀孕了 I am pregnant.
大家都知道宝宝会让人变得爱哭 Everyone knows a baby can push water up into one's eyes.
你帅气的未婚夫呢? Where is your dashing fiance?
- 柏捷顿先生 - 蒙卓奇贤伉俪 - Mr. Bridgerton. - Mr. and Mrs. Mondrich.
我很欣慰地知道 就算我们失去了俱乐部 I take comfort in knowing that if we no longer have your club,
至少你会举办本季最精致的宴会 you shall at least host the season's most exquisite parties.
女王陛下 Her Majesty the Queen.
她来了 She is here.
果然如我所想,充其量是乏善可陈 As I assumed... lackluster at best.
还不错 Not bad.
一点也不差 Not bad at all.
妈妈? - Mama? - Mm?
现在要试着觐见女王吗? Shall you try to speak to the queen now?
也许我们应该让她安顿一下 Perhaps we should let her settle in a little more.
也许我们现在应该要接近女王 Perhaps we should try to approach the queen now,
以免她提早离开 in case she departs early.
我... I...
我们应该等等,法兰雀丝卡 We should wait, Francesca.
等等?她不会参加每场舞会 如果我们今晚不跟她说... Wait? She does not attend every ball. If we do not speak to her tonight...
我要跟丹柏莉夫人谈谈 确保能见上一面 I will speak to Lady Danbury about securing an audience.
现在场面有点混乱 It is all simply a little chaotic at the moment.
女王不就喜欢一点混乱吗? Does the queen not love a little chaos?
对,但重要的是 让她在心情好时接见我们 Yes, but it is important that we find her in good humor.
妈妈,我不想等 Mama, I... I do not wish to wait.
我知道,但我不想毁了你的婚事 I know, but I do not wish to ruin things for you.
哦 Uh...
你怎么会毁了婚事? How would you ruin things?
你不认为我们的婚事会让她高兴吗? Do you not think our match would cheer her?
我要去看看精美的护墙板 I am going to look at the very fine wainscoting.
不是的,法兰雀丝卡 It is not that, Francesca.
那对我来说也很可怕 It is rather daunting, even for me.
你以前在女王面前说过话 You have gone in front of the queen before.
你怕会毁了婚事 You are afraid you'll ruin things
因为你还是不相信这门婚事 because... you still do not believe in this match, do you?
我支持你 I have supported you.
你的支持太敷衍了 You have been perfunctory in your support.
基尔马丁阁下很讨人喜欢 Lord Kilmartin is delightful.
但我只是... But I just...
妈妈,你只是什么? You just what, Mama?
不是每段恋情 都要充满戏剧化和努力争取 Not every attachment must be dramatic and hard-fought.
我和约翰之间很简单 What... What John and I have is easy, and...
而且我爱他,妈妈 I love him, Mama.
就算那不是你想给我的爱 Even if it is not the love that you want for me.
我真的很享受乡村生活 I say, I do so enjoy the country.
失陪一下 Excuse me a moment.
我...我会去追她 I... will go after her.
我不想再和任何单身的寡妇说话了 Oh... I do not wish to speak to any more eligible widows.
你想跟谁说话都行 Speak to whomever you like,
但你不能追求我朋友 but it is not for you to go after my friend.
你不是唯一关心柏捷顿夫人的人 You are not the only one who cares for Lady Bridgerton.
你一定要夺走我的一切吗? Must you take everything from me?
姐姐...够了 Sister... enough.
不管我做了什么让你这么生气的事 Whatever I have done to deserve this ire,
请你告诉我 这样我们才能放下 tell me so that we might be done with it.
- 这跟父亲有关吗? - 这跟许多事有关 - Is this about Father? - Oh, it is about many a thing.
父亲将我视为他最爱的孩子 It is about Father treating me as the favorite,
那不是我能控制的 over which I had no power.
我不在乎那件事! I do not care about that!
我在乎的是 What I care about
我本来有机会得到幸福 is that I had a chance of happiness,
却被你夺走了 and you took it from me.
我怎么夺走你的幸福机会? How did I take your chance at happiness?
我要结婚的前一天晚上 The night before I was to be married,
我差点就逃到自由之地 I very nearly escaped to freedom.
你以为我不知道 Do you think I do not know
是你把我出卖给父亲的吗? that it was you who betrayed me to our father?
我听到他向你道谢 I heard him thank you.
- 索玛... - 索玛! - Soma... - Soma!
索玛 Soma...
你以为你可以直呼我的闺名 纠正错误吗? You think you can call me by my born name and right the wrong?
你的魅力或许能迷住上流社会的寡妇 Your charm may work on every widow in the ton,
但对我不管用 but I am unmoved.
那么我先失陪了... Now, if you will excuse me...
我要去找我朋友 I must find my friend.
我不参与社交界 I do not spend much time in society.
蒂莉喜欢来去自如 Tilley enjoys coming and going.
我认为整个社交界太自命不凡了 I find the entire thing much too pretentious.
也很爱批判 Judgmental, really.
我无法想像别人会因为什么评判你 I cannot imagine what anyone would judge you for.
那蒂莉没告诉你我们所有的事 Then Tilley has not told you all of our stories.
我能问个私人问题吗? Can I ask you a personal question?
还有其他值得问的吗? Is there any other kind worth asking?
你和阿诺德夫人关系很好 You and Lady Arnold have quite a rapport.
我很惊讶你们两个从来没... I am surprised you two have never...
事实上,别回答这个问题 In fact, do not answer that.
显然,葡萄酒让我有些失礼 Apparently, the wine has made me rather rude.
那么 Well,
葡萄酒也让你很有魅力 the wine has also made you rather charming.
我应该确保蒂莉没有疯狂吃甜点 I should go ensure Tilley has not worked herself into a frenzy over dessert.
当然 Of course.
甜点准备好了 Dessert is ready.
我相信我的怀疑是对的 I believe my suspicions are true.
你确定? 确定 - You are sure? - Yes.
嗯 Hmm.
抱歉,我们只是在... Forgive us. We were just...
说到你...事实上 Talking about you... in fact.
你想加入我们吗? Would you perhaps like to join us?
上楼 Upstairs.
我... I, uh...
我忘了我应该去别的地方 Ah, I've forgotten, I am supposed to be somewhere.
对不起 Uh, forgive me.
不得不说,这支舞比不上 I must say. This dance does not compare
我们在举行婚礼的教堂跳的华尔兹舞 to a private waltz in the church where we'll be married.
也许我们可以添加点花样 Well, perhaps we shall have to add some flourish.
是威索顿夫人! It is Lady Whistledown!
她是恶魔 She is the Devil.
不要跟她说话 Do not speak to her.
写丑闻的女儿 A scandal writer for a daughter.
你能想像吗? Can you imagine?
这是我参加过的比较有趣的宴会之一 Well, this is one of the more amusing parties I have been to.
要我带她来见您吗,陛下? Shall I bring her to you, Your Majesty?
不 No.
让她坐立不安一下 Let her squirm a little.
我不会让她毁了我们的夜晚 I will not let her ruin our night.
对,你说得对 Yes, you are right.
但我们该怎么办? But what do we do?
我们要等女王召见我们 We wait... for the queen to summon us,
然后昂首挺胸 and we hold our heads high.
要带着女儿们离开吗? Shall we take our girls and go?
我倒是想看看会发生什么事 Well, I do wish to see what happens.
你现在明白我为何如此崇拜她了吗? Do you now understand why I so adore her?
我厌恶克蕾丝妲考柏 Cressida Cowper I detest.
不过身为威索顿夫人 她是位相当聪明的作家 Though, as Lady Whistledown, she is a rather clever writer.
抱歉 - Ow. - Oh! Apologies.
我不习惯跳这么多舞 I'm not used to dancing so much.
没关系 That is all right.
我一直想告诉你 I've been meaning to tell you.
我正在把我的旅行日记改编成手稿 I've been editing my travel diary into a manuscript.
- 多亏了你的鼓励 - 是吗? - With your encouragement. - Have you?
写得差不多了 Very nearly.
只是还在删减一些比较...私人的段落 I am still removing some of the more... personal passages.
为什么?那是我喜欢阅读的部分 Why? That is what I so enjoyed about the part that I read.
那些部分只属于你 Well, those parts are only for you.
也许我可以帮你编辑 Perhaps I could edit them for you.
若你愿意的话 If you wish.
之后再把手稿寄给书商 Before you send them to a bookseller.
我真的很喜欢写 I do so enjoy writing
信件之类的 letters and what have you.
你确实写得一手好信 Well, you do write the very best letters.
但我想证明自己可以独立完成 But I might like to prove to myself that I can do it on my own.
也想证明给你看 And to you.
我想配得上你,小潘 I want to be worthy of you, Pen.
你当然配得上 Of course you are worthy.
-哦 -对不起 - Oh! - Uh... Forgive me.
看来女王召见了考柏小姐 It seems the queen has summoned Miss Cowper.
也许是时候了 It may finally be time
威索顿夫人要面对后果 for Lady Whistledown to meet her consequences.
考柏小姐,也许我应该澄清一下 Miss Cowper, perhaps I should have clarified
我不想在宫廷里或宫廷外见到你 that I do not wish to see you in my court or out of it.
- 陛下... - 你今晚受邀了吗? - Your Majesty... - Were you invited here tonight?
没有,殿下 No, Your Majesty.
我只是想送您一份礼物 I simply wanted to give you a gift.
她回来了! She has returned!
(《威索顿夫人的韵事报》)
亲爱的读者 Dearest Gentle Reader,
据说恶人永无宁日 it is said that there is no rest for the wicked.
若是如此,笔者必定是良善之人了 If that is true, this author must be rather virtuous,
因为我一直很享受必要的休息时间 for I have been enjoying a much-needed respite
不用观察你们所有人 from observing all of you.
别担心,我回来了 Not to worry, I am back,
很快就会重新发行完整的《韵事报》 and shall return soon enough with a full issue.
你们现在可能知道我的名字 但毫无疑问 You may now know my name, but have no doubt,
我更了解你们 I know you even better.
威索顿夫人敬上 Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown.
或是诚挚的克蕾丝妲考柏 Or forever now, Cressida Cowper.
考柏小姐,我很感兴趣 Well, Miss Cowper, I am intrigued.
很惊讶,但还是很感兴趣 Surprised but still intrigued.
我们可以讨论... - May we discuss...
我期待明天的《韵事报》 - I shall look forward to tomorrow's issue.
我想看点八卦 I wish to see some gossip.
然后我们可以讨论你的奖赏 Then we might discuss your reward.
她...我们... She is... We have...
现在... And... And now...
跟我来 Come with me.
都是我的错 It is all my fault.
我说服你让她用威索顿夫人的名号 I convinced you to let her take Whistledown's name.
现在她竟然写出了条理清晰的东西 And now she has somehow written something coherent,
更别提出版了 not to mention published.
- 艾洛伊丝,呼吸 - 我们创造了一个怪物,小潘 - Eloise, breathe. - We have created a monster, Pen.
一个似乎跟我 和我的家人有仇的怪物 A monster who seems to have a feud with me and, by extension, my family.
我又让他们陷入危险,像去年一样 I've put them all in danger, like last year.
- 那是我的错 - 不,我太鲁莽了 - That was my fault. - No. I was reckless.
就像邀请毒蛇进入我家一样鲁莽 As I have been now, inviting that viper into my family's home.
如今这条毒蛇 几乎有和女王一样大的权力 A viper who now has nearly as much power as the queen.
我不该跟她交朋友 I never should've befriended her.
艾洛伊丝,不会有事的 Eloise... it will be all right.
怎么说? How?
因为我要再次出版 Because I'm going to publish again.
只要一期 我就能让克蕾丝妲声名扫地 With one issue, I can discredit Cressida.
这不仅仅是八卦 It is not just gossip.
《韵事报》就是力量 Whistledown is power.
- 小潘 - 记得第一期吗? - Pen... - Remember my first issue?
我写的内容? What I wrote?
你引用拜伦的话 Yeah... You quoted Byron.
不是指那个 Not that.
关于我和我姐姐的部分 The part about me and my sisters.
“三位小姐被硬推进婚姻市场 "Three misses foisted upon the marriage market
就像悲伤的母猪 被她们毫无品味、笨拙的妈妈逼的” like sorrowful sows by their tasteless, tactless mama."
我承认头韵修辞有点过头了 The alliteration was a little overdone, I admit, but...
但我开始写专栏 是因为我在家中感到无能为力 the column began because I felt powerless in my own home.
我被迫提前一年初入社交界 我对任何事都没有发言权 I was forced to debut a year early, and I had no say in anything.
写作是我唯一能发声的方法 Writing was the only way I felt I could have a voice.
我本应该用专栏为无法发声的人发声 And I should've been using the column to give a voice to the other voiceless.
我用笔造成了很多伤害 I have done plenty of damage with my pen.
拜托... Please...
现在让我用笔做点好事 let me use it now to do some good.
你必须马上出版完整一期 You must get a full issue out right away.
赶在克蕾丝妲之前 Before Cressida does.
(...的读者...)
抱歉,订单迟到了 Apologies for the late order. There's been
丝绸运送途中出了点问题 some confusion with the silk delivery.
你的急件服务会得到丰厚的报酬 You'll be paid handsomely for your rushed service.
愿为威索顿夫人效劳 Anything for Lady Whistledown.
柯林! Colin.
你...是威索顿夫人? You... are Lady Whistledown?
