一 One.
二 Two.
三 Three.
四 Four.
好了 There.
非常慷慨了 Beyond reasonable.
是拿第四块时弄脏的 The smudge is from the fourth lump.
我敢肯定 I have no doubt.
这是善意留下的脏污 The smudge is from kindness.
早上好 斯克鲁奇先生 Morning, Mr. Scrooge.
也祝你圣诞快乐 斯克鲁奇先生 And Merry Christmas to you, too, Mr. Scrooge.
我有一份重要文件 I have left an important document
要在下班之前抄三份 to be copied three times before day's end.
一份发伦敦 一份发伯明翰 一份发曼彻斯特 One for London, one for Birmingham, one for Manchester.
三份 不是四份吗 先生 Three, not four, sir?
什么 What?
今天有四块 不是三块 Today appears to be a day for four, not three.
你是说我多给你的那块煤啊 Ah, you mean the extra lump of coal I gave you.
该死的第四块 Well, curse the fourth.
就不该多此一举 Curse gestures.
把文件抄三份就可以了 Just make three copies of the ledger.
不能有墨点 And should there be no blots,
污迹 墨印 你就可以回家了 no smudges, no stains, you may go home.
四点的时候 At 4:00.
斯克鲁奇先生 我们不是说好了今天 Mr. Scrooge, I‐I thought we had agreed that today,
因为圣诞节的缘故 我可以 on account of the day it is, I could go home
三点回家吗 at 3:00.
我多给了你一块煤 I give you an extra lump of coal...
你又得寸进尺的想要早下班一小时 then straightaway you want to snip an extra hour off the day,
三块变四块 three becomes four,
四点变三点 four becomes three.
我不同意你那革命性数学 I don't care for your revolutionary mathematics.
这里不是巴黎 This is not Paris.
冻住了 先生 It's frozen, sir.
什么 What is?
我的墨水 My ink.
我得用火把它融化 I'll have to thaw it on the fire.
不用 别浪费时间 No, that will waste time.
你可以用我的 You can use mine.
好极了 Ah, lovely.
也算是圣诞礼物了 A sort of Christmas present,
对吧 先生 is it, sir?
得了吧 Oh, please.
如果这是圣诞礼物 我会用蝴蝶结 If it were a Christmas present I would have wrapped it
和缎带把它包装好 人为提高你的预期 in ribbons and bows to artificially increase your anticipation.
你会拆开包装惊讶地说 And you would tear it open and gasp and say,
"天啊 一瓶墨水 "Oh, my lord, a bottle of ink.
正是我梦寐以求的东西" This is exactly what I've always wanted."
我会耸耸肩然后微笑着告诉你 And I would shrug and smile and tell you that
这世上有那么多墨水 of all the ink bottles in all the world,
我挑了这一瓶 this is the one ink bottle
在这个最神圣庄严的日子里 I wanted you to have on this
把它送给你 most holy and sacred of days.
看啊 Behold.
一年中唯一的一天 One day of the year.
他们都笑着彼此打着招呼 They all grin and greet each other when every other day
其余日子则把脸藏在领子里 they walk by with their faces in their collars.
看着在每年这个日子里 You know, it makes me very sad to see all the lies
伴雪而来的虚情假意 that come as surely as the snow
总是让我很难过 at this time of year.
有多少圣诞祝福是真心的 How many Merry Christmases are meant
又有多少只是谎言 and how many are lies?
只为假装每年的这一天 To pretend on one day of the year
衣冠禽兽 that the human beast
并非是禽兽 is not the human beast.
假装我们 That it is possible
都有改变的可能 we can all be transformed.
但如果真是如此 But if it were so‐‐
如果如此多的凡人 if it were possible
凝视着日历 for so many mortals
就能从豺狼 to look at the calendar and transform
变成绵羊 from wolf to lamb,
那为什么不能每天都如此 then why not every day?
与其一天友善 其余冷若冰霜 Instead of one day good, the rest bad,
大家不如每天笑脸相迎 why not have everyone grinning at each other all year
然后一年里有一天化身禽兽 and have one day in the year when we're all beasts
冷漠地擦肩而过 and we pass each other by?
为什么不颠倒过来 Why not turn it around?
是啊 先生 Yes, sir.
你可以把化身禽兽的那天称为 Yes, you could call that day of beastliness
斯克鲁奇节 Scrooge Day.
以此纪念它的创造者 In honor of its inventor.
对 有何不可 Yes. Why not?
在那天里大家可以随便 It would be the one day where everyone is free
告诉身边的人 to tell all those around them
他们对彼此真实的看法 exactly what they really think of them.
我觉得全英格兰的职员那天 Well, I think every clerk in England
都会准时上班 先生 would report for work on that day, sir.
这样他们就可以告诉自己的雇主 In order that they could tell their employer
他们心中可怕的真相 the awful truth of what is in their hearts.
对 Yes.
没有蝴蝶结和绸带 The truth without
包裹的真相 ribbons and bows.
你会说什么 What do you say?
我会说 先生 I say, sir,
我在这工作的十年中你从来 in all my ten years of working here you've never
都懒得跟我解释你的思想 bothered to explain your philosophy before.
我受宠若惊 先生 I'm quite flattered, sir, that today
你今天怎么会跟你的小职员 of all days you should share the machinery
分享你的伟大道理 of your great logic with a mere clerk.
这不是道理 克莱切特 It isn't logic, Cratchit.
那是什么呢 Well, then, sir, what is it?
写"诉讼"这个词的时候小心 Mind out for the word "litigation."
你总是拼错 You have a habit of spelling it wrongly.
我只拼错过一次 I spelt it wrongly once.

我在你的作坊里 I died like a horse of exhaustion

我把每一个人都铸成了铁链的一环 and each one I've forged into a link in the chain.
这条你现在必须戴上的铁链 马利先生 The chain you must now wear, Mr. Marley.

给你吹吹降温 and blow you cool
送你到永久的 and deliver you to everlasting
永恒的 and eternal...
安宁 peace.
明白了 我苦苦追寻的就是安宁 Understood. Peace is indeed what I seek.
你想要安宁 If you want peace...
是有代价的 there is a price.
代价就是忏悔 And the price is repentance.
如果关键在于忏悔 Uh, if this is about repentance,
我已经忏悔过了 我敲了钟 then I've already repented. I rang the bell.
钟声因为我的忏悔响起了 Rang as a consequence of my declared repentance,
还有那个铁匠 and the blacksmith...

你的灵魂 Your fate is bound

你跟他 It is with him
一起亵渎了人性 that you profaned the spirit of humanity.
你们要一起偿还 Together, you will repay.

你们才能悔过 can you repent.
你是说 So you're saying that
我要永远被囚禁在炼狱之中 I should forever be held in purgatory un...
直到我朋友也悔过为止 until my friend has also repented?
那你不如再烧掉一年的记忆吧 Then, if you would, throw another year on the fire.
如果可以的话 给我拿条毯子拿个枕头 Bring me a blanket and a pillow if such things are allowed,
因为我必定要永远困在这儿了 because I am without doubt stuck here for fucking ever.
因为那个人 Because that man, that...
那个生得人形的东西 object in the shape of a man,
那个血管里流着黑墨水的东西 that‐that thing with black ink in his veins
94% is 94%
是砂砾碎石 gravel and rubble,
剩下的是他该死的头发 and the rest is his stupid hair.
我能肯定 And I know for certain
他永远都不会悔过 that he will never repent.
在这个圣诞节结束之前 Before this Christmas is ash,
我必须寻遍埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇的心 I must search the heart of Ebenezer Scrooge
看里面有没有善良的地方 and see if there is a tender place there.
你的命运就取决于它了 Your fate depends upon it.
下午好 Afternoon.
埃比尼泽舅舅 Uncle Ebenezer.
我是跑过来的 担心你会提前关门 I ran in case you might be closing early.
不会 还有很多事要做 No. Still many things to do.

但你信主 对吧 But you believe in him, don't you?
不 我也不信 No. Nor do I believe in
阿里巴巴或者神灯精灵 Ali Baba or the magic genie of the lamp.
还有 哪个撒谎精告诉你明天是他生日的 Besides, which liar told you that tomorrow was his birthday?
《圣经》里写的 It's in the Bible.
另一个谎言 那本书或者其他任何书里 Another deceit. There is no mention of a date
都没提到日期 in that book or in any other.
至于我在教堂墙上看到的那些形象 And as for those images I see on church walls
三位先知骑着骆驼踏雪而行 of three wise men on camels walking in the snow,
也没有记录说是在冬天 there's no record of it being winter,
没有记录说巴勒斯坦下过雪 and no record of there ever being snow in Palestine.
其实 在雪中骑骆驼 Indeed, riding camels in the snow
恰恰体现了这是荒谬的谎言 is the very embodiment of the absurdity and the lies
而千百年来它们又引出了 which have continued to beget more lies down the centuries,
更多有关24日和25日的谎言 during the days now marked 24 and 25.
传统圣诞大餐中的甜点
那你信无花果布丁吧 You believe in fig pudding.

不会 No.
舅舅 在我妈妈去世之前 Uncle, before she died,
她对我说 "弗莱德... my mother said to me, "Fred...

我就直说了吧 I'll get to my point.
每一年 我都过来 Every year, I come here,
邀请你来和我 and I invite you to dine
我妻子还有我的孩子们共进晚餐 with myself and my wife and my children
你甚至连他们都没见过 whom you've never even set eyes upon.
这是我最后一次来邀请你了 This is the last time I'll make such an invitation.
在我妻子的一再坚持之下 Upon my wife's insistence,
我以后不会再邀请你了 I will do this no more.
很好 省得你跑得上气不接下气的 Good. Save you getting all out of breath.
舅舅 Uncle.
我知道你听到会不高兴 所以我要说一句 Yeah, I will say it because I know it hurts you.
圣诞快乐 埃比尼泽舅舅 Merry Christmas, Uncle Ebenezer.

你几点到家的 When did you get home?
那家伙让我早走了四十分钟 Bugger let me go about 40 minutes early.
-情绪很怪异 -圣诞节嘛 - Very strange mood. - It's Christmas.
我们还是别说他了 Let's not talk about him.
提都别提了 Not even once.
你好像比我还看不上他 You seem to despise him even more than I do.
还有 你... Also, while you were...
你出去的时候 蒂姆给你堂兄杰克 while you were gone, Tim wrote his Christmas letter
写了圣诞贺信 to your cousin Jack.
他是这么写的 Here's what he wrote.
"亲爱的莱维特先生 希望你一切都好 "Dear Mr. Levitt, I hope you're well
希望美国下了好多好多的雪..." and that there's lots of snow there in America..."
亲爱的 都七年了 Darling, after seven years...
蒂姆没必要一到圣诞节 there's no need for Tim to keep on writing letters
就没完没了往美国寄感谢信了 of thanks to America every single Christmas for eternity.
为什么 And why?
他的确救了蒂姆的命 He did save Tim's life.
好吧 Very well.
我去把信寄了 I'll go and post it.
能赶上最后一次取信 I'll catch the last post.
我们 We'll, um...
我们一起 We'll all...
和你去 come with you.
呼吸些新鲜空气 Uh, the air will do us all some good.
好吧 Very well.
我们一起去 We'll all go.
蒂姆 Tim.
太好了 Yes!
贝琳达 Belinda.
斯克鲁奇先生 Ah, Mr. Scrooge.
先生 你有零钱可以 Sir, do you have any spare change
捐给崇高的事业吗 for an excellent cause?
那会是什么事业呢 And what cause might that be?
是捐给穷困潦倒的人们的 Oh, it's for the welfare of the poor and destitute
每年这时候他们日子可难熬了 who suffer greatly at this time of year.
城里有几十万的人 Hundreds of thousands in this city are in want
连温饱都没达到 of common comforts.
没有监狱吗 Are there no prisons?
-有的是监狱 -还有工会济贫院呢 - Oh, plenty of prisons. - And the Union workhouses,
还在运转吗 are they still in operation?
我倒希望它们都关了 I wish I could say they were not.
劳动惩罚和《济贫法》 The treadmill and the Poor Law.
从金融危机以后都人满为患 Uncommonly busy since the financial collapse.
可有些人宁可去死也不愿去那种地方 But some would rather die than go there.
那就让他们去死吧 Then let them die.
先生 我们只不过想要一两个便士而已 All we're asking for, sir, are a couple of penny coins.
你兜里 Do you not have
不是有两个便士吗 two penny coins in your pocket?
骗人的把戏 Humbug.
谢谢 Thank you.
贝琳达 Belinda!
我不确定你堂兄的名字我们是不是写对了 Now, I'm not sure if we've spelt your cousin's name correctly.
玛丽 应该是... Mary, is it...
莱维特还是莱维德 is it Levitt with two Ts or one?
是...莱维特 It... it's spelt with two Ts.
-你还好吗 -嗯 - You all right? - Mm-hmm.
-那是贝琳达 -你也想要冰鞋 对吧 - There's Belinda. - Oh. You needs skates, eh?
我发誓去年你说是"莱维德" I swear last year you said it was spelt with one "T."
我堂兄现在是美国人了 My cousin is now an American.
他们不喜欢"德"[音同"茶"] They don't care for Ts.
他们喝咖啡 They drink coffee.
圣诞快乐 Merry Christmas.
-圣诞快乐 -圣诞快乐 - Oh, Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
你这个每年名字都不一样的堂兄 This cousin whose name changes every year,
在蒂姆生病之前你从来没提起过他 you never mentioned before Tim became sick.
孩子们在这里很开心 The children are happy here.
你和他们待着 我去寄信 Stay with them. I'll post the letter
一会儿就回来 and I'll come back.
-你还好吗 小伙子 -嗯 ‐ You all right, mister? ‐ Yeah.
希望与憧憬 英格兰炼狱
谁把你们留在这里的 Who left you here?
马利 Marley?
抱歉 老朋友 Apologies, old friend.
我也不太清楚其中的原理 I'm... not quite sure how these things work.
一开始我变成了你的门环 I first formed as your door knocker,
而你敲掉了我的下巴 and you knocked off my chin.
现在感觉正常了 Seems fine now.
我知道这一定让你很震惊 I understand this must come as a shock.
不 No.
不会 因为这不是真的 No, because this‐this is not real.
这不是真的 This is not real.
有关什么是真的 There's much I have to tell you
什么不是真的 我有很多话要跟你说 about what is real and what is not real.
现实是一个决定 Reality's a decision.
我已明白这点 I've learned that.
我是被一位精灵派来的 I've been sent by a spirit.
一个什么都不在乎的精灵 而且我猜 A spirit who doesn't care, and I imagine
他很乐意看到我们失败 would relish our failure, but...
但他似乎不得不尽力帮忙 is obliged to seem to try to help.
我今天没吃东西 I didn't eat today.
饥饿导致的头晕让我看到了幻觉 This is the result of light‐headedness caused by hunger.
我在 I am...
这张扶手椅上睡着了 asleep in this armchair.
你忘了吗 埃比尼泽 Have you forgotten, Ebenezer?
我已经死了 I'm already dead.
你杀不了我 You can't kill me.
如果你用那个东西打我 And if you were to hit me with that thing
只会让我在接下来的谈话期间 then I'll just be very messy
面目变得非常可怕 for the rest of our conversation.
而我们有很多要谈的 And we have much to discuss.
虽然我不太理解 Now, I... don't understand it all,
但你给那对冻僵的黑马盖了块毯子 but you threw a blanket over a pair of cold, black horses‐‐
我相信这意味着还有希望 I believe that means there is hope.
什么希望 Hope of what?
无需我解释 No need for me to explain.
你很快就会见到他们 You'll meet them soon enough.
见到谁 Meet who?
精灵们 The spirits.
我见过一个 I've met one,
但他告诉我有三个 but I'm told there are three.
我不打算见任何人 I have no plans to meet anyone.
我 I'm...
我 我想一个人待着 I‐I want to be alone.
但今天是圣诞节 And yet it is Christmas,
埃比尼泽 Ebenezer.
圣诞节 Christmas.
那好 Very well.
出去吧 Go out there.
他们为你安排了个小节目 They've laid on a little show for you.
莫里斯和汤普森公司
是你 It was you.
漏气的事情报告过了 Gas was reported.
但为了省钱 你拒绝挖出管道维修 To save money, you refused to dig out the pipes.
这是你干的 你 You did this. You.
是你害死了我们 You cut us to the bone.
还记得莫里斯和汤普森公司吗 Remember Morris and Thompson?
就是我们花了几个子儿在伯明翰买的工厂 Our factory in Birmingham which we purchased for pennies,
我们对他们极尽盘剥 and we cut their cloth according to our meanness.
因果循环 The consequences of one's actions
报应不爽 always ends up on one's own doorstep.
我们在审讯时冠冕堂皇 推卸责任 How righteous and scolding we were at the inquest.
还记得吗 Remember?
懒惰 醉酒 Idleness, drunkenness,
工人缺乏常识 a lack of common sense on the part of the workforce
我们说全是他们的错 we blamed them all...
我贿赂了法官 and got the all clear from a judge
我们完全免责 whose palm I crossed with silver.
看看这些铁链 埃比尼泽 Look at these chains, Ebenezer.
这可不是什么游戏 看啊 This isn't a fucking game. Look.
每个环都是一个死在我们各地工厂里的 Each link is a man or woman or child
男人 女人或孩子 who died in our workshops
伦敦 伯明翰 in London, Birmingham,
曼彻斯特 孟买 Manchester, Bombay,
-巴达维亚 -等等 - Batavia. - Wait. Wait.
-有外包的 -毛里求斯 - There were subcontracts. - Auritius,
-洪都拉斯湾 -够了 - Bay of Honduras... - Enough.
不 永远都不够 No, it was never enough.
你不满足 我也不满足 Not for you or for me.
有什么意义 And for what?
我们积累钱财是为了什么 What was the purpose of our gross accumulation?
为了这个 For this...
我们破坏世界 we vandalized the world.
无论你是谁 请你立刻离开我家 Whatever you are, I should like you to leave my home, now.
等你死后 铁链也会缠上你 Oh, when your time comes, there'll be chains for you, too.
你的命运将是背负你沉重的过去 And your fate will be to wander the earth with the great weight
在这世上流浪 of your past on your shoulders.
除非我忏悔 对吗 Unless I repent, yes?
我说这是骗人的把戏 "Humbug," I will say.
我忏悔什么 "Repent what?," I will say.
我遇到的那个精灵不在乎你的灵魂 The spirit I met has no concern for your soul.
也不在乎我的 Or mine.
我想得到救赎 I want salvation.
但事实上 这取决于你 But in truth, it is up to you.
埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 Ebenezer Scrooge,
三位精灵中的第一位 the first of three spirits will come tonight
将在今晚午夜钟声响起时前来 when the clock strikes midnight.
第二位将在明晚相同时间前来 The next will come the next night at the same hour.
第三位将在后天晚上前来 And the third will come the following night.
也是在午夜 Also at midnight.
准备好 Prepare ye.
一个迅速消失的现实算不得什么现实 A reality so readily banished is not much of a reality.
一块未消化的牛肉 A piece of undigested beef.
一块生土豆 A lump of uncooked potato.
骗人的把戏 Humbug!
二 Two.
九 Nine.
十 Ten.
十一 Eleven.
还有一小时 One hour to go.
然后就要开始了 Then it will begin.
理性对抗幻想 Reason against fancy.
明早就能知道谁是赢家 We will know the winner by morning.
第二章 人心
怎么样 Well?
我按你吩咐的做了 Well, I did as you asked.
我去找了埃比尼泽 I called on Ebenezer and I...
我告诉他有三位精灵要去拜访他 I told him he'd be visited by three spirits.
我劝了他 不 我恳求了他 I urged him? No, I pleaded with him
求他听听这些精灵的话 to hear what the spirits had to say.
他只回答了一个词 And he replied but one word.
我拼给你听 I'll spell it for you.
骗人的把戏 HUMBUG.
他坐在他的椅子上 然后 And he settled into his chair, and then...
见鬼 Oh, f...
有什么意义 What's the point?
打动斯克鲁奇的唯一办法 The only way anyone could ever soften Scrooge's heart
就是用剁肉刀和一杯温热的肉汁 would be with a mincing knife and a cup of warm gravy
做某种难吃的布丁 to make some kind of unpleasant pudding.
面对现实吧 我要永远困在这里了 Let's face it, I'm stuck here forever.
你为什么要在乎我们 And what do you care, anyway, eh?
对你而言 我们不过是 To you, we're just numbers on a list
你天堂清单上的数字 in your celestial inventory.
然而 Nevertheless,
观察过这个埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇之后 having observed this Ebenezer Scrooge,
我喜欢挑战 I relish a challenge.
我将向他展示 I'll show him
他最珍贵的记忆 his most treasured memories
和痛苦的噩梦 and tortured nightmares.
如同之前的成千上万个灵魂 And like the many thousand souls before him,
他会祈求宽恕 he will beg forgiveness.

如果你收到的钱不是美国某个 If the money you received was not sent

埃比尼泽 Ebenezer?
还没睡 是吗 Aye, awake, are ye?
埃比尼泽 Ebenezer.
埃比尼泽 Ebenezer?!
你为我祈祷也没用 Your little prayers on my behalf were no use.
他们今天下午还是把我干掉了 They did me this afternoon.
用茶和饼干 Over tea and biscuits.
把我彻底干掉了 Did me up proper.
他们夺走了一切 They took the lot, every fucking thing!
还在我屁股上涂了油 They covered my ass with tallow,
然后像猫一样把它点燃 and set it alight, like a cat.
精灵 如果这是你干的 Spirit, if this is your doing,
请让他离开 please make him go away.
你说什么 What did ye say?
请别让他看到我 Please don't make it that he can see me.
我能看到你 Oh, I can see ye.
我能看到你 I can see ye.
我看到你了 孩子 你说什么 I see you, boy. What did ye say?!
拜托 PLease...
不要让我重温这晚 not this night.
哪晚 What night?
你被宣布破产的那晚 The... the night you were declared bankrupt.
怎么 你为我难过 是吗 What, you're sorry for me, are ye?
他居然难过了 He's fucking sorry.
对 你知道的 你了解外面的所有人 Yeah, well, you know this, you know that everyone out there.
所有男人 所有女人 他们都是禽兽 every man, every woman.they're all beasts
只在乎 who care only,
他们自己 only for themselves.
因为人类就是这样 Because that is what a human is.
他们眼里只有自己 It's an inward ooking thing only.
这整个世界都在手足相残 This whole world is cock fighting cock,
以大欺小 bear fighting dog,
抢走你的钱财 夺走你的尊严 hands in your pockets, fingers up your ass.
剥削你的全部价值 They're trying to take your very kidneys from ye.
-这就是这晚给你的教训 -我知道 父亲 - You learn that from this night. - I know, Father.
我明白 That I know.
根本没有美德可言 There is no virtue.
看看我 Look upon me.
被抢走了一切 Everything took.
得不到任何怜悯 No mercy shown.
刚巧路过泰晤士河 I only just made it across the Thames
却还是没有跳下去 without giving myself up to it.
我要活下去 But I continued
因为我还要养活你和你那个 because I have you and your useless fucking
一无是处的怯懦母亲 frozen-up mother to keep.
还有你姐姐 洗刷女佣和清洁工 And your sister to keep, too, and a scrubber maid and a sweep.
现在 因为该死的圣诞节作怪 And now, by the devilment of fucking Christmas,
靠我养活的名单上又多了一位 the latest addition to my list of dependents,
一只小白鼠 a little white mouse.
还没人向我解释它出现在 Whose reason for existence under my roof
我屋檐下的原因 is yet to be explained to me.
我可以解释 父亲 I can explain the mouse, Father.
它是洛蒂送我的圣诞礼物 It was a Christmas gift from Lottie.
根本不存在礼物 There are no gifts!
礼物就是债务 A gift is just a debt,
虽然没写明但就是这样 unwritten but implied.
这件礼物脖子上系着个金铃铛 And this gift has a golden bell around his neck.
你告诉我 老鼠要金子有什么用 Now, you tell me, what good is gold to a mouse?
这个铃铛不是真金的 The bell wasn't real gold.
是洛蒂从玩具上取下来的 Lottie took it from a toy.
是金色涂层的 只值几便士 It was gilt and worth only pennies.
然而 Yet, still...
这只戴着铃铛的 that mouse,
老鼠 with his bell,
还是比我富有 is richer than I.
你可以拿走那个铃铛 You could have taken that bell.
只要剪断缎带 Just cut the ribbon.
你就可以 You could have...
你就可以拿走铃铛而不伤害它 you could have done it without causing any harm to him.
伤害害兽吗 Harm to vermin?
好好学学吧 Learn... this... lesson!
只能喂养会反哺的东西 Feed only that which might someday feed you!
那只老鼠和它的铃铛去哪了 Where is this mouse and its bell?
不要这幕 Not this.
不要这幕 不要重复这幕 Not this. Not a repeat of this.
为什么不要重复这幕 埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 Why not this, Ebenezer Scrooge,
你已经重温过上千遍了 when you've relived it a thousand times?
好好学学吧 Learn this lesson!
警告我不要付出无利可图的感情 To warn me against unprofitable affections.
这一课你学得很好 A lesson you learned well.
我来这里是要让你忘了这一课 And I am here to make you unlearn it.
你就是马利跟我提过的精灵 You are the spirit Marley told me about,
那个什么都不在乎的精灵 the one who doesn't even care.
我是画布 I am the canvas.
你才是在画布上作画的人 It is you who paints the pictures.
我不喜欢猜谜语 I don't care for riddles.
我受够了 你已经表明了你的观点 I am done. Your point is made.
如果说有什么影响的话 If it makes any difference,
你的探访只是撕开了我久未愈合的旧伤口 your visit has opened an old wound barely ever healed.
恭喜 Congratulations.
现在如果你不介意 我想去睡了 Now, if you don't mind, I should like to sleep.
你不跪下 You will not get down on your knees
求我宽恕吗 and beg me for absolution?
不 No.
我根本不在乎我自己 I am quite careless of myself.
我每晚都要数着数才能睡着 I count myself to sleep each night the same.
总有一天我会数到尽头 One day, the count will end. So...
我曾遇到过男人们 I have had men
抓着我的袍子 claw at my robes.
女人们用泪水浸湿我的袖子 Women soak my sleeves with their tears.
或许你应该向税务部门申请一件新袍子 Well, perhaps you should claim a new robe against tax
毕竟也算是合理开支 as a legitimate expense.
今晚 你将不会入眠 Tonight, you will not sleep,
埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 Ebenezer Scrooge.
我不会让你睡着的 I will not allow it.
这不是一场理性对抗幻想的游戏 埃比尼泽 This is not a game of reason against fancy, Ebenezer.
我会把滚烫的镊子伸到你的灵魂之中 I will put hot tweezers to your soul
剔除掉那些尖刺 and remove the splinters.
我要带你走上一条漫长的旅途 I am going to take you on a long journey
这旅途并非以长度来丈量 measured not in yards and miles
而是以年日来计算 but in days and years.
我当然被宽恕了 Surely, I am forgiven.
我哪也不想去 I don't want to go anywhere.
你别无选择 You have no choice
必须和我一起走 埃比尼泽 but to come with me, Ebenezer.
来吧 Come...
和圣诞过去之灵一起 with a Ghost of Christmas Past...
我能感受到你的心在跳动 who feels your heart beating.
这一切一定有个合理的解释 I have formulated a rational explanation for this.
我在壁炉前喝的雪利酒 The sherry I drank in front of the fire
那半瓶酒已经放了六个月了 from the decanter which has been half full these six months.
一定是那个因懒惰而被我辞退的女仆 The maid who I dismissed for idleness
倒了鸦片酊进去 must have slipped laudanum into it.
她离开之后我就没喝过雪利酒 直到今天 I haven't touched a drop of the sherry since she left until now.
一定是这样 There.
就是这个原因 That is what all of this is.
怀恨在心的女仆在我的酒里加了鸦片酊 Laudanum slipped into my wine by a vengeful maid.
你现在处在幻觉之中 You you are an opiate.
-来吧 -威廉 - Come on. - William.
-该走了 -来吧 - Time to go. - Come on.
我认识这些孩子 I know those boys.
该走了 孩子们 Time to go, children.
贾斯帕 Jasper.
还有 还有惠灵顿 And and Wellington.
还有可怜的霍勒斯 他死于肺痨 And poor Horace, who... who died of consumption.
可怜的霍勒斯 Poor Horace.
走吧 Walk on.
我们现在就处在 We are now in a time
可怜的霍勒斯病逝之前的时间段 before poor Horace was struck down.
你的记忆会根据我们所在的时间段 Your memory shapes me
把我塑造成不同的形态 according to what time we're in.
同一个精灵 Same spirit.
不同的圣诞节 Different Christmas.
在你人生的这段时间之中 At this time in your life,
我就是你唯一的朋友 I was your only friend.
看吧 Behold.
我发誓 我人生中从未有过 I swear, there was never a time in my life
任何一段时间 有任何类似你这样的朋友 when I had a friend who looked even remotely like you.
再仔细看看 Look again.
天啊 My God.
-你是阿里巴巴 -没错 - You are Ali Baba. - Yes!
你有多少个夜晚 在烛光之下 How many nights you spend reading my stories
一遍遍地读我的故事 under cover by candlelight, over and over,
逃避那几年所经历的痛苦 to escape from the pain of these years?
耻辱 The shame.
你只是一个幻觉 You are an illustration.
没错 Correct.
也就是说 实际上 That is to say, in truth,
你也是鸦片的作用 you, too, are also opium.
你以前有没有骑过骆驼 Have you ever ridden a camel before?
没有 我从没骑过骆驼 No. No, I've never ridden a camel before.
我也从没和图画书里的人物 Nor have I ever had a conversation with a picture
交谈过 from a picture book.
今天这两样你都要做 Well, today you are doing both.
来吧 Come.
去哪 Come where?
我认识这个地方 I know this place.
当然了 Indeed you do.
黑桥寄宿学校 The Black Bridge Boarding School.
我不想去 I do not wish to come.
为什么 Why?
我发过誓 再也不会 I vowed I would never set foot
踏足黑桥寄宿学校半步 inside Black Bridge School ever again.
但你依然会在每晚回到这里 And yet you step back inside it every night.
在梦中 In your dreams.
你的噩梦之中 Your nightmares.
你知道的太多了 You know so much.
我知道一切 Everything.
精灵能够知晓一切 除了结果 Spirits can know everything except the outcome.
来吧 Come with me.
一定是吗啡 Morphine.
其实它叫瓦伦丁 你还记得吧 Actually, his name is Valentine, but you know that.
在你十一岁的时候 As an 11 ear old child,
曾经好多次骑在它背上逃离地狱 you escaped from hell on his back many many times.
我回到那里去能有什么好处 What good will it do for me to go back?
如果你现在和我回去 If you come back with me now,
以后就再也不会在噩梦之中回去了 you may never have to go back into your nightmare ever again.
如果骆驼和我只是罂粟带来的幻觉 And if the camel and I are merely poppy fumes,
又能带来什么坏处呢 what harm can it do?
来吧 Come.
这一天即将结束 The day is drawing to a close.
你正在宿舍看书 You are in the dormitory reading your book,
迷失在《一千零一夜》的世界里 lost in The Arabian Nights.
你只有十一岁 孤身一人 You are 11 years old. You are alone.
来看看吧 Come and see.
我们为什么没留下脚印 Why do we not leave footprints?
我们并不是真的在这里 We are not here.
你看到的都是很久之前发生的事 What you see happened a long time ago.
某一天发生的事 On a particular day.
哪一天 What particular day?
来吧 你会明白的 Come, you will see.
那一天都有谁在场 Who will be there on this day?
你和另一个人 You and one other.
勇敢点 埃比尼泽 Be brave, Ebenezer.
有阿里巴巴和瓦伦丁陪着你 You have Ali Baba and Valentine at your side.
其他的孩子都回家过圣诞了 对吧 The other children have gone home for Christmas, yes?
对 你看到他们离开了 Yes. You saw them leave.
我是唯一一个在圣诞假期中 I was the only child who had to board here
还要留下来寄宿的孩子 over the Christmas holidays,
因为我父亲说... Because my father said...
他说什么了 What did he say?
有一年 他说社区里爆发了瘟疫 One year, he said there was pestilence in our street.
另一年 他说房子被水淹了 Another, the house was flooded.
还有一年 他说新家里没地方了 Another, there was no room in the new house.
反正我总是要留在这 Always, I had to stay here.
我认识那个男人 I know that man.
埃比尼泽 你没法伤到他 Ebenezer, you cannot hurt him.
他是属于过去的 He's in the past.
但我能看到他 But I see him.
你总是能看到他 Always you see him.
在那些日子之后 Ever since those days,
你每次闭上眼都能看到他 you see him when you close your eyes.
伟大的阿里巴巴要进入到你的过去 The great Ali Baba seeks to enter your past.
进入到四十大盗的洞穴之中 Enter the den of the 40 thieves.
你还记得书里写的开门咒语吗 Can you remember the magical password from the book?
我当然记得那句咒语 "芝麻开门" Of course I remember the magic password. "Open sesame."
我警告过你了 埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 I warned you, Ebenezer Scrooge,
这不是一场游戏 this is not a game.
来吧 Come.
进入到真相之中 Into the truth.
芝麻开门 Open sesame.
埃比尼泽 Ebenezer,
看看你自己 look upon yourself.
如果可以的话 你想对他说什么 What would you say to him if you could?
精灵 我想回家了 Spirit, I should like to go home now.
这也是他会对我说的话 That is exactly what he would say to me.
"我想回家了" "I should like to go home now."
我那时只有这一个愿望 That was all I wanted then,
想和妈妈 姐姐在一起 to be with my mother and sister.
看着 Watch.
埃比尼泽 Ebenezer.
是我 It is I.
天啊 他能看到你 Good Lord. He can see you.
只有一小会儿 Just for a moment.
有时孩子能看到精灵 Sometimes children‐‐ they can see spirits.
那些有需要的孩子 Children that need to see.
我记得这个 I remember this.
我记得这一刻 I remember this very moment.
在故事里 In the stories,
阿里巴巴无所不能 Ali Baba always could do anything.
我祈求他来救我 I was praying to him to save me
把我从这里带走 and come and take me from this place.
我发誓 有一瞬间 And I swear, just for one moment,
我抬头看到了他 I looked up and I saw him,
就在你站的地方 just where you're standing.
我... I...
我以为他能救任何人 I thought he could save anyone.
又只有你和我在这里过圣诞节了 斯克鲁奇 it's just you and I here for Christmas again, Scrooge.
别担心 Well, don't worry.
我不会让你自己睡在这里的 Course I won't expect you to sleep in here on your own.
你会和我在一起 You'll be with me.
就像去年那样 Just like last year.
来吧 拿上你的东西 Come on, get your things.
来吧 Come on.
够了 我想回家了 Enough. I should like to go home now.
先别急 等等 Not yet. Wait.
来吧 孩子 快点 Come on, boy. Chop chop.
这是快乐的那年 Because this is the happy year.
天呐 Goodness.
我知道 Yes, I know.
是谁 Who is it?
我姐姐洛蒂 It's my sister, Lottie.
她来干什么 What the hell does she want?
我给你看这个不是为了折磨你 I show you this not to torture you
而是要启发你 看 but to enlighten you. Look.
-洛蒂 -她听不见 埃比尼泽 ‐ Lottie! ‐ She cannot hear you, Ebenezer.
你只是在这里观看学习 You are here only to watch and learn.
埃比告诉我你是他姐姐 Ebby tells me you are his sister.
你来干什么 What do you want?
我来带我弟弟回家 I've come to take my brother home.
你在说什么 What are you talking about?
埃比尼泽圣诞节和我一起过 Ebenezer spends Christmas with me.
不再是了 情况有变 Not anymore. Things have changed.
你父亲与我之间有长期安排 Uh, your father and I have a long‐standing arrangement
让埃比尼泽留在这里 to keep Ebenezer here.
埃比 去外面等着 Ebby, go and wait outside.
-有马车 -不行 ‐ There's a carriage. ‐ No.
埃比 Ebby,
我们的父亲终于 our father has left us.
离开我们了 At last.
母亲让你回家 Mother said you are to go home.
去吧 跑出去 Go on. Run ahead.
现在是你不知道的部分了 Now for the part you do not know.
埃比尼泽 停下来 我命令你回来 No. Scrooge, stop. I order you to come back.
站住 Stop!
不需要你帮忙 看 Your help is not needed. Watch.
我父亲逼我弟弟留在这里过圣诞节 Our father made my brother stay here at Christmas
作为回报 你免去他的学费 in return for you waiving school fees.
但是我母亲和我终于 But I and my mother have finally
摆脱他了 managed to be rid of him.
你对我弟弟的 And your little...
小小安排 arrangement
已经结束了 regarding my brother is over.
我弟弟再也不会 My brother will never
回到这所学校了 return to this school ever again.
如果你想跟过来... And if you try to follow...
我就开枪 I will shoot you.
辩护的时候 我弟弟会面对教区说出一切 And, in my defense, have my brother tell the parish everything.
洛蒂 像个大盗 Lottie, like a highwayman.
她掏出了一把抢 She pulled a fucking gun. It's...
她救了我 She rescued me.
一个圣诞节奇迹 A Christmas miracle.
一次爱的行动 An act of love
不需要感谢 without the need for thanks.
一份礼物 A gift which was not given
不求回报 as a debt implied.
来吧 Come.
母亲买了一只鹅 等我们拔毛呢 Mother's bought a goose for us to pluck.
但是你没有见到她的勇敢 But you never saw her bravery.
没有感受到她温暖无私的同情心 Never felt the warmth of her selfless compassion.
走 出发 Go on, then. Get up.
她一直跟我说我必须离开学校 She always told me I had to leave the school
是因为我们交不起学费 because we couldn't afford the fees.
你也从来没有告诉过任何一个人 You never told a living soul
在学校发生了什么 about what happened at this school.
但是你姐姐知道 But your sister knew.
她不能容忍让你 She could not bear the thought
在地狱里度过又一个圣诞节 of you spending another Christmas in hell.
忘了缎带 Forget ribbons
和铃铛吧 and bells.
这才是圣诞精神 That is the spirit of Christmas.
但是你已经对她麻木 对所有感情失去知觉 But you were numb to her, lost to all affection.
你回家了 You went home
不再需要 and had no more need...
阿里巴巴和瓦伦丁了 for Ali Baba and Valentine.
我再也没回家 I never went home.
那个离家的男孩再也没回去 The boy who left never returned.
我觉得自己是世界上 I counted myself the most
最不幸的人 hard‐done‐by creature on Earth.
就在昨天 Just yesterday...
洛蒂的儿子邀请我去吃晚餐 Lottie's son came to invite me to dinner.
他甚至都跟我说 And even he told me
洛蒂总是警告他 Lottie had always warned him
要对我有耐心 to be patient with me
因为我有...很久以前的伤痛 because of a... A very old pain.
但是精灵 想想这个 But S‐Spirit, consider this.
这就是证据 This is proof.
证据 什么证据 Proof? Of what?
在这所学校发生的事 What happened to me here at this school,
让我情有可原 this‐this excuses me.
解释了我的行为 This explains me.
因为这发生在过去 And because it's all in the past,
做什么都无法弥补 nothing can be done to remedy it.
那么除了剁肉刀和温暖的肉汁之外 So, we require more than a mincing knife
还需要用别的东西来柔软你的心 and warm gravy to soften your heart.
你只看到你父亲对你的伤害 You only see what your father did to you,
却看不到你姐姐对你的付出 not what your sister did for you.
我们再深入些 Let us go deeper.
看吧 Behold.
斯克鲁奇和马利投资公司在威尔士乡下的 The Scrooge and Marley anthracite coal mine
无烟煤煤矿 in the country of Wales.
你后期的商业投资之一 One of your later commercial ventures,
你和马利先生在谷物交易所结识后开始的 after you and Mr. Marley met at the corn exchange.
你们从你父亲那样的人手里 Both buying up bankrupt businesses
收购破产的企业 from men like your father.
这是你利润最大的投资之一 And this was one of your most profitable ventures.
可怜的家伙 Poor thing.
"他如风似火般纯粹" "He is pure air and fire."
显然莎士比亚在描述马时 Evidently, when William Shakespeare wrote that about a horse,
从来没见过煤矿里的马 he'd never seen one put down a coal pit.
地底深处没有纯粹的东西 Not much is pure down here.
我记得我们买下煤矿时 I remember when we bought the mine,
我尽量不去想马 I tried not to think about the horses.
你通过减少大量使用 You made this place profitable by cutting down
橡木木材来转亏为盈 on the excessive use of oak timbers.
你和马利买下这个煤矿之前 Before you and Marley bought the mine,
他们毫不吝啬地使用木材 they had used timber quite extravagantly...
来支撑顶板 To support the roof.
塌了 Collapse!
起来 小伙子 快 Get up, lad! Quick!
我们不会受伤 因为我们不在这里 No harm can come to us because we're not here.
他们就没这么走运了 But they are not so lucky.
回忆一下 这是平安夜的午夜时分 Recall. This was midnight on Christmas Eve.
这就是27名男女和孩子 And this the Christmas gift for 27 men and women
以及许多匹马收到的圣诞礼物 and boys and multiple ponies.
你尽量不去想马 You tried not to think about the horses,
但你有想过人吗 but did you ever think about the human souls?
拉我们上去 Pull us up!
看在上帝的份上 In the name of God!
拉我们上去 Pull us up!
看在上帝的份上 木材撑不住了 In the name of God, the timbers won't hold!
救救我们 救救我们 Save us! Save us!
拉我们上去 救救我们 Pull us up! Save us!
你唯一没有数过的 The only thing you didn't count
就是受害者 Were the victims.
救救我们 拉我们上去 救救我们 Save us! Pull us up! Save us!
他们在你给的黑暗中丧命了 They were lost in your darkness.
精灵 我们在哪 Spirit, where... where are we?
这是地狱吗 Is this hell?
不 No.
我们回到了你的三十岁 We are now back in your 30th year,
埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 Ebenezer Scrooge.
生意蒸蒸日上 And business is booming.
来吧 Come.
快来 不然我们就要错过了 Come quick, or we'll miss it.
我想解释一下圣诞矿井坍塌 I‐I would just like to explain the Christmas mine collapse
还有原因 根本不像你说的那样 and its causes, which aren't at all how you characterized them.
没时间解释了 There is no time for explanations.
对 没错 又是平安夜了 Yes, yes, it's Christmas Eve again.
但是天黑之后她们还要工作很久 And yet they will all be working until long after dark.
不过来吧 埃比尼泽 But come, Ebenezer.
我担心有什么可怕的事等在前面 I fear something awful awaits.
不 是奇妙的事 No. Something magical.
美好的事 Something wonderful.
利润 埃比尼泽 纯利润 Profit, Ebenezer. Pure profit.
看 斯克鲁奇 你在那里 Look, Scrooge, there you are.
你和马利正处在黄金时期 You and Marley in your prime.
就是这个时候一切开始了 This was the moment when it all really began.
我父亲尸骨未寒 My father's barely cold in his grave
你们就迫不及待地来谈生意 and already you're here with business?
你父亲肯定 Well, your father looks down
在天堂上看着 劝你听我们的话 from heaven and urges you to listen to us.
你父亲很喜欢赌马 Your father was fond of gambling on horses.
喜欢 但根本不擅长 Fond of it, but poor at it.
不能人人都选中德比赛马会的冠军 And we can't all choose the winner at the Epsom Derby.
一直到他快咽气 我们才知道他输了多少钱 We didn't know how much he'd lost until his last breath.
悲痛让你盲目 慢下脚步 Look, grief blinds you, slows you.
我们是来帮你的 And we're here to help you.
我们认识一些他的 We're familiar with some of the people
私交好友 按我们目前的情况 of his secret acquaintance and we're in a position
也可以买下你父亲的赌债 to purchase your father's gambling debts.
多亏一个哈利法克斯的赌注登记人 戴戈 Owed to a turf accountant in Halifax, name of Dagger.
你们为什么要这么做 Why would you do that?
恐怕赌马输钱是最微不足道的问题了 I'm afraid the price of slow horses are the least of his legacy.
-放回去 -这种账都不值得写下来 ‐ Put that back. ‐ Accounts not worth the paper they're written on.
应该用来交税的钱 Money due to the government revenue
全都花在了和他情妇同名的赛马身上 spent instead on some nag with the same name as his mistress.
你怎么敢 How dare you?
秘密 Secrets,
赌债 情妇 debts, mistresses...
拿着手枪和镣铐的税务人员 revenue men who bring pistols and chains.
他们不抓鬼魂 年轻人 They can't chain a ghost, young man.
所以会是你 It will be you
被他们丢进大牢 they throw into the lockup.
你们要买一台织布机吗 You wish to buy one loom?
不 整个工厂 No. The whole mill.
那我想你漏写了个零 Well, I think you missed off a zero.
零什么都不是 所以我们没漏什么 Zero means nothing, so we missed off nothing.
坐下 Sit down.
我们会去对付戴戈 Now, we'll deal with Dagger.
我们在财政局也有朋友 We also have friends at the revenue who will overlook
可以忽视你的继承债务 your inherited liability,
当然这要花上一笔可观的贿赂 in return for a healthy bribe, of course.
工厂本身价值是那个的十倍 The mill itself is worth ten times that.
工厂是不错 但你没有流动资产 The mill is healthy but you have no liquidity.
你现在需要钱 You need money now.
没有我们 那会是场比赛 Without us, it will be a race
是戴戈的手下先来 还是财政局的民兵先来 between Dagger's cutthroats and the revenue's militiamen.
你也要知道 我们会保护你父亲 And please know that your father's reputation
作为虔诚的基督教顾家男人的名声 as a pious, Christian family man will be safe in our hands.
我们甚至会搞一块纪念匾 We'll even put up a plaque.
那里 就挂在你头上 There. Above your head.
那样你父亲也能安息了 So your father can rest in peace.
那么 Now...
我们达成交易了吗 do we have a deal?
你们用八百镑买了德斯伯里这个棉纺厂 You bought this cotton mill in Dewsbury for £800,
然后四天后立刻出手 then promptly sold it four days later
卖了八千镑 工厂被拆成零件 for £8,000 to be demolished and broken up for parts.
你们已经发觉了 多数人的悲剧 You had discovered that tragedy for the many
就是少数人的机遇 is opportunity for the few.
短短四天 五百人失业 净赚7200镑 500 jobs lost and a profit of £7,200 in just four days,
不费吹灰之力 for doing precisely... nothing.
你刚刚目睹的投机主义交易 You and Marley would become celebrated
将成为你和马利闻名的伎俩 for deals like the splendid bit of opportunism you just witnessed.
那是买卖 It was business.
你不能怪我做买卖 I cannot be blamed for doing business.
我不能怪你建起 You cannot be blamed for building
美丽的庙宇来盈利 your beautiful temple to profit
因为盈利意味着更多 更多 无穷无尽 because profit means more and more and wonderful more.
而且你很体贴 你一直到节礼日 And you were very considerate. You didn't tell the workers
圣诞节后的第一个工作日
才告诉工人们他们失业了 they had all lost their jobs until Boxing Day.
你为什么要用虚假的荣耀嘲讽我 Why do you mock me with false glory in your voice?
我是个精灵 I am a spirit.
我是你造出来的 你的荣耀是真实的 I am what you make me, and your glory was real.
真现金 硬通货 Real cash, hard currency.
盈利有什么错 用赚来的钱 Was it so wrong to make a profit? To use that profit
-去赚更多钱 -不 这完全没错 ‐ to make more profit? ‐ No, nothing wrong at all.
你赚的每个子儿你都记得清清楚楚 And every penny you made is still there inside your head.
看吧 Behold.
每一台织布机都代表了势不可挡的 Each loom shows another profitable year
斯克鲁奇和马利先生又一个丰收年 for the unstoppable Messrs. Scrooge and Marley.

7先令6便士 seven shillings and sixpence.
这是第八年 This is year eight!
总支出是多少 Total expenditure?

大多是用来收购 mostly the acquisition

今年 第十年 This year. Your tenth year.
很棒的一年 An excellent year.
进军摩鹿加群岛的香料和靛蓝染料 A move into spice and indigo in the Moluccas.
收入 9970镑7便士 Income: £9,970 and sevenpence.
-支出 -你都记得很清楚 ‐ Expenditure... ‐ All in your head.
你的记性真好 你把自己看作 What a mind you have. You counted yourself
全世界最不幸的孩子 the most hard‐done‐by boy in the world,
你算啊 算啊 and you counted and counted.
不管你往哪里看 Wherever you looked,
你都看不见人 你只看得见钱 you didn't see people, you saw pounds and pennies.
别人的弱点转而变成财富 The weakness of others spun into wealth.
你的账目就是你新的阿里巴巴 Your accounts were your new Ali Baba,
利润则是新的瓦伦丁 profit your new Valentine.
我都忘了 你是在嘲讽我 Ah, I forgot. You are mocking me.
本工厂厂内规定
我跟其他任何著名的商人比起来 I have done no more and no less in my life

来吧 So, come now,
我们将会见证 and we will witness
你的盲目 how your blindness
如何催生了罪行 finally gave rise to the abominable.
是你七个圣诞节前做的一件事 To something you did seven Christmases ago.
七个吗 Seven?
来吧 埃比尼泽 Come, Ebenezer,
来瞧瞧你做的恶行 and look upon the evil that you did.
甚至都不是为利润做出的恶行 An evil that was not even for profit.
天啊 男人不该出现在这里 Dear God. No man should be here.
我们不是男人 我们也不在这里 We are not men, and we are not here.
但我们会见证 And yet we witness
这件可怕的事的起源 Where this awful thing began.
你的孩子出生了 Your baby is born!
是男孩还是女孩 Is it a boy or is it a girl?

他有呼吸 He breathes.
他健康吗 Is he whole?
玛莎 Martha.
玛莎 他健康吗 Martha, is he whole?
玛莎 他健康吗 Martha, is he whole?!
在这个 And in this,
这个时刻 你想起来你做了什么吗 this moment, do you remember what you did?
没有 No.
你看到他人的痛苦 You looked upon the suffering,
不是陌生人 not of faceless strangers,
而是你认识多年的人 but of people you've known for years.
在他们的极度痛苦中 And in their anguish,
你只看到了 you would see only one thing:
机会 opportunity.
跟我去七个圣诞节之前的 Come with me to Christmas Eve
平安夜吧 seven Christmases ago.
当钟声响起时 When the clock is striking

四 五 六 Four, five, six.
早上六点了 Six in the morning,
万物冰封雪飘 and all is snowbound and iced.
克莱切特早到了一小时吗 Cratchit an hour early?
克莱切特夫人 Mrs. Cratchit.
我能进去吗 May I come in?
我能私下跟你谈谈吗 斯克鲁奇先生 May I speak with you in confidence, Mr. Scrooge?
可以 我对早起的人都有时间 Yes, I always have time for early risers.
你丈夫生病了吗 你是来请假的吗 Is your husband ill? Are you here to make excuses?
不 我丈夫会在一小时后照常来上班 No. My husband will be reporting for work in one hour, as usual.
虽然在平安夜还要上班不太寻常 Though to work on Christmas Eve is not so usual.
在斯克鲁奇和马利公司 这很平常 Oh, at Scrooge and Marley, it is usual.
你这么早来有何贵干 What do you want at this hour?
你应该知道 As I think you know...
两年前 我生了个男孩 蒂姆 two years ago, I gave birth to a boy, Tim.
你应该也知道 他... And as I also think you know, he was...
生下来就有缺陷 born with imperfections.
是的 Yes.
可能是你吃得太油腻了 克莱切特夫人 Perhaps too much rich food in your diet, Mrs. Cratchit.
这个城市的寒冷和雾霾 This cold and the smoke in this city,
不适合这么娇弱的男孩 it does not suit a boy so tender.
他的肺里有积水 He has fluid on his lungs.
外科医生告诉我们 A surgeon has told us
他必须要做手术 that he requires an operation,
胸腔引流术 thoracic draining...
不然他就会死 or he will die.
手术的费用 Now, the‐the cost of the operation
我们完全负担不起 i‐is far beyond our means.
手术很复杂 分三个阶段 It's very complex, in three stages.
多少钱 How much?
十镑 十镑和十镑 T‐Ten, ten and ten.
一共三十镑 £30.
你不能把房子卖了吗 You can't sell your house?
房子是租来的 The house is rented.
你没有富有的亲戚吗 You have no rich relative?
斯克鲁奇先生 我丈夫 Mr. Scrooge, my husband
拉不下脸来求你 is too proud to ask you himself.
但我权衡了自己的自尊和孩子的性命 But I weigh my pride against my baby's life, and...
两者根本没有可比性 the scales break with the imbalance.
你还挺会说 You are a poet.
我只是一个 I am a mother...
穷途末路的母亲 in desperate need.
我来这里 And I came here
没有告诉我丈夫也没有经过他的允许 without my husband's permission or knowledge...
来向你借款 斯克鲁奇先生 to ask you, Mr. Scrooge, for a loan.
你丈夫以为你在哪 Where does your husband think you are?
你撒了什么谎 What lie did you tell?
我告诉他 Well, uh... I told him
我要去排队买最好的鹅 that I would queue for the best goose.
你能买得起鹅 You can afford a goose,
却还是想借款 but you still want a loan.
你可以从我丈夫 You could deduct a certain amount
每周的工资里扣一点 from my husband's wages each week.
我觉得每周少两先令我们还能凑合过活 I th‐I think we could survive on two shillings less.
然后... And over...
让我想想 每周两先令 Let me see... Two shillings per week.
2乘以52 那就是每年104先令 Two by 52, that's 104 shillings per year.
也就是5镑4先令 That is five pounds, four shillings.
每年5镑4先令再乘以6 Five pounds, four shillings per year times six
就是31镑4先令 is £31, four shillings.
所以 如果你丈夫一直为我工作 So, if your husband were to continue to work for me,
他六年就能还清借款 he would pay his debt in six years
并支付我1镑4先令的利息 and provide an interest dividend of one pound, four shillings.
-斯克鲁奇先生 -利率是百分之四 ‐ Mr. Scrooge... ‐ That's an interest rate of four percent.
而那 Which,
在六年投资中缺乏竞争力 on a six‐year investment, is uncompetitive.
特别是它建立在 Especially since it depends
保证六年工作的基础上 on a guarantee of six years of service
而我们都知道 生活 when, as we know, life is filled with...
充满了不幸和意外 misfortune and unexpected hazards
可能让他不能履行这六年的义务 which may render him unable to fulfill his obligation.
斯克鲁奇先生 我觉得我们每周再少点钱 Mr. Scrooge, I th‐I think we might be able to survive
也能凑合过活 on less per week.
如果你们不做在圣诞节买鹅 If you were to sacrifice absurd things
这种荒唐的事 可能可以 like goose at Christmas, yes, perhaps.
斯克鲁奇先生 Mr. Scrooge...
没有其他人能帮我们了 there is no one else.
克莱切特夫人 现在我的保险箱里 Mrs. Cratchit, in my safe, at present,

克莱切特夫人 你愿意做什么 What would you do, Mrs. Cratchit,
让我打开那扇门 to have me open that door
给你三十镑 and hand you £30?
不作为借款 而作为礼物 Not as a loan, but as a gift.
克莱切特夫人 我知道 I know, Mrs. Cratchit,
你是个忠诚 贞洁 you are a faithful, virtuous
正直的女人 and honest woman.
但我对正直和忠诚的范围 But I am curious as to the extent of that
很是好奇 honesty and faithfulness.
我是说 它的价格 The price of it, I mean.
我不明白你在说什么 斯克鲁奇先生 I do not understand what you mean, Mr. Scrooge.
十镑 十镑和十镑 Ten, ten and ten.
我是个理性的人 I am a man of reason.
作为科学家 我喜欢做 A scientist. I... I like to conduct experiments
有关人类境况的实验 regarding the human condition.
有关美德和邪恶 Regarding virtue and vice.
来测试人类灵魂的每一部分 Experiments to determine if every aspect
是否都能转换成货币 of the human soul can be converted into currency,
如果能 那么汇率是多少 and if so, what is the exchange rate.
比方说 爱 For love, for example,
或者同情 or compassion.
克莱切特夫人 Mrs. Cratchit, please,
你现在先拿十镑 take ten now,
然后再编出一个谎言告诉你丈夫 then think up another lie to tell your husband,
圣诞节那天下午四点来我公寓 and come to my apartment on Christmas Day at 4:00 p. M.
等你到了我的公寓 When you are at my apartment,

第三章 一包砂砾
施舍点钱给穷人吧 夫人 Spare a penny for the poor, madam,
在这个美好的圣诞节 on this fine Christmas Day.
时光如斯流逝 And so it came to pass
就在七年前的圣诞节 that on this Christmas Day seven years ago...
我为什么会觉得冷 Why do I feel the cold?
如果我只是精神在此地 而肉体并不在 Why do I feel the cold if I am only here in spirit
那我为什么会觉得冷 and not here in body?
你感受到的寒意是从内散发的 The cold that you are feeling comes from within,
来自你灵魂深处 from inside your soul.
在此之前 Before this moment,
你感受不到 you couldn't feel it,
但现在你感受到了 but now you can.
如果我要成为一个有同情心的 善良的人 Then if I am to become a compassionate and tender person,
我需要厚实一点的袜子 I will need thicker socks.
在真实的感受回归之时 When real feeling returns,
你会感到如坐针毡 pins and needles will begin.
图钉与针
针扎在你的心脏之上 Needles in your heart.
图钉悬挂起你过去的模样 Pins to hold up pictures from your past.
来吧 跟着可怜的玛丽 Come. Follow poor Mary
迎接她的命运 目睹你的所为 to her destiny and witness what you did.
记住 And remember,
我们要关注的不是你 埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 this is not about you, Ebenezer Scrooge,
而是她 it is about her.
圣诞快乐 夫人 Merry Christmas to you, madam.
慈爱的上帝 请原谅我 Dear God, forgive me.
亲爱的鲍勃 请原谅我 Dear, dear Bob, forgive me.
孩子们 请原谅我 Children, forgive me.
耶稣 请您转过头去 Jesus, turn your head.
进来 Come in.
我不必目睹这一幕 I do not need to witness this.
我不必在这里 I do not need to be here.

我们赶快了结这事吧 let's get this thing done.
我说了我会赶回家... I said I'd be back for...
做什么 For what?
赶回家往布丁上浇白兰地 For the pouring of the brandy on the pudding.
完美的圣诞节传统 A perfect Christmas tradition.
将上好的白兰地 Pour perfectly good brandy onto
浇在烤好的布丁上 然后点燃 an already‐cooked pudding and set fire to it.
这样就烧焦了布丁 也浪费了白兰地 Thus burning the pudding and wasting the brandy.
说回现在 To the moment.
现在要做什么 And what is the moment?
我要弄清楚 I need to be clear.
我们的约定 Our arrangement.
我要弄清楚 I need to be clear.
你会 You will...
给我钱 如果 give me money if...
我允许你 I allow you

是的 我知道 Yes, I know.
求你了 Please.
我的家人都在等待 My family are all waiting.
我这么做只是为了救我孩子的命 I do this only for the life of my child.
其实你急需钱的理由 In truth, your reason for needing the money
不是我实验的一部分 is not part of my experiment,
所以我对这个不感兴趣 and therefore not of interest to me.
每个人想要钱 需要钱 Everyone has their own reasons
都有自己的理由 for wanting and needing money.
这不是问题 That is not the issue.
我的实验是关于货币的 My experiment is about currency.
关于测试一个好人 It is about finding out the extent
为了得到钱 of the things a good person will do
能做出什么样的事 in return for money
以及让他们做出每件坏事的价码 and how much each bad thing would cost.
由此来确立 Thereby establishing a...

三位精灵的工作完成了 All three spirits have done their work.

不 No.
