你为什么阻止我?为什么? Why did you stop me? Why?
没事的，简。一切都很好。 It's all right, Jean. Everything is all right.

谢谢你！ Thank you.
你只是为你父亲的事难过。 You're just upset about your father.

他们继续关注。 They keep watching.
我说没人会伤害你。 I said nothing is going to hurt you.
你怎么知道我在哪里? How did you know where I was?
嗯…首先，你的车。 Well... For one thing, your car.
我没告诉任何人我要去哪里。 I didn't tell anyone where I was going.
我在开车的时候，他们一直往下看，突然间我再也受不了了。 I was driving around, and they kept looking down, and suddenly I couldn't stand it any longer.
艾略特，你怎么知道? Elliott, how did you know?
我会告诉你一切的。我们先喝点咖啡。 I'll tell you all about it. First, let's have some coffee.
你上次吃东西是什么时候? When did you last eat?
早餐,我认为。 Breakfast, I think.
然后是咖啡和煎蛋卷。 Then it'll be coffee and an omelet.

-我们能把车顶顶上吗?——当然。 - Could we have the top up? - Of course.
晚上好。 Good evening.
-所以你才知道。-你能坐下吗? - That's how you know. - Would you sit down?
我要点咖啡和煎蛋卷。服务员! I'll order some coffee and an omelet. Waiter!
-不用麻烦了。——为什么不呢? - You needn't bother. - Why not?
小姐的煎蛋卷。 Omelet for missy.
我觉得你得好好解释一下，特莱顿先生。 I think you have quite a bit of explaining to do, Mr. Triton.
是的,我知道。 Yes, I know.
-报警。-如果你喜欢的话。 - To the police. - If you like.
艾略特，你根本不知道自己在说什么。 Elliott, you don't know what you're talking about.
我一眼就能看出什么是骗局。 I know a confidence racket when I see one.
但特里顿先生一直在帮我。 But Mr. Triton's been trying to help me.
通过恐吓你自杀吗? By scaring you into suicide?
简，我离开过，但别忘了我亲眼目睹了这一切的开始。 Jean, I've been away, but don't forget I saw all this start.
我不怪你怀疑我，卡森先生。 I don't blame you for being suspicious, Mr. Carson.
事实……如果这些都是事实，那就太不可思议了。 The facts... Well, they're incredible if they are facts.
我自己也不知道。 I don't know myself.
但我想让你相信我无意伤害考特兰小姐，你对她做了什么? But I would like to convince you that I have no desire to hurt miss courtland, and what have you been doing to her?
他说我快死了。 He told me I was to die soon.
在晚上。 At night.
在星空下。 Under the stars.

你今晚怎么碰巧去了调车场? How did you happen to go to the switchyard tonight?
自然是他派我来的。 He sent me, naturally.
他怎么知道的，我自己都不知道? How did he know, when I didn't myself?
我猜是催眠，暗示，某种把戏。 Well, I suppose hypnotism, suggestion, some kind of a trick.
-我相信你是个石油地质学家。——我。 - I believe you are an oil geologist. - I am.
你愿意以一个科学家的开放心态去听吗这样做你可能会帮助考特兰小姐? Would you be willing to listen with the open mind of a scientist given so doing you might help miss courtland?
只要我有空去警察局…没有任何附加条件。 Provided I'm free to go to the police aftennards... There are no strings attached.
我在听。 I'm listening.
我,嗯…我想，大多数人在回首往事时，都会看到命运触动他们生命的那一刻。 I, um... I suppose most people are looking back and see the exact point their lives were touched by destiny.
一份新工作，意外的继承，快速的决定。 A new job, unexpected inheritance, a quick decision.
但我不能。 But I can't.
我的命运不知不觉地降临在我身上。就像窗玻璃上第一滴细雨。 My destiny came upon me imperceptibly... Like the first thin drops of rain are noticed on a window pane.
直到第三次、第四次或第五次滴水时，我才意识到这场雨即将吞噬我的生活。 It wasn't until the third, or fourth, or fifth drop that I became aware of this rain that was to engulf my life.
我记得那个日期。 I remember the date.

这一行为值得更好的宣传。 The act deserved better billing.
当然，这是假的，就像大多数读心术一样，但这是一流的骗局，如果我这么说的话。 It was a phony, of course, like most mind-reading acts, but it was a first-class phony, if I do say so myself.
没人知道我们是怎么做到的。 Nobody knew how we did it.
那是深夜秀，11点37分。 It was the late show, 11:37.
珍妮正在收信封，问着那些老生常谈的问题。 Jenny was collecting the envelopes with the usual familiar questions.

当我叫到名字时，请那个人举起手来好吗? When I call the name, will that person please raise his or her hand?

你也会问一个问题。你,嗯…你问…“我岳母什么时候回家?” Also you ask a question. You, uh... You ask... "When will my mother-in-law go home?"
嗯，夫人，我很少在国内事务上做预言，但我相信我可以有把握地说，她很快就会离开。 Well, madam, I rarely prognosticate in domestic affairs, but I believe that I can safely say that she will leave very soon.

你问一个问题，一个商业问题。 You ask a question, a business question.
你拥有一家商店。 You own a store.

现在,我…我有个很私密的问题。 And now, I... I have a question of a rather intimate nature.
你差点让我喝了威士忌。 You almost threw me on the scotch one.
苏格兰威士忌我知道，但我怎么知道他有一家羊毛店? I got the scotch part, all right, but how's I'd know that he had a woolen store?

他在医院，他会好起来的，不是吗? He's in the hospital he will be all right, won't he?

第一个有意义的是今晚。 The first one that meant anything was tonight.

是啊，他们会以为你在给我通风报信，但你说完，我就继续。 Yeah, they'll think you're tipping me off, but when you finish, I go right on.
你怎么看，法官? What do you think, court?

不,不,不。 No, no, no.
我是在开玩笑，只是开个玩笑。 I was joking, just a gag.
-你确定吗?-我当然确定。 - Are you sure? - Of course I'm sure.
听着，我不是告诉过你别闹了吗? Look, didn't I tell you to lay off?
-有什么好主意?-我只是好奇。 - Now, what's the big idea? - I was just curious.
我给医院打了电话这孩子会挺过来的。 I called the hospital. The kid is gonna pull through.
-我们也打过电话。-我仍然认为…——没关系。-你付帐了吗? - We called too. - I still think... - Never mind. - Did you pay the bill?
-不，还没有。-那就付钱吧。 - No, not yet. - Well, then pay it.
然后我们去吃午饭。珍妮的饿。 Then we'll grab some lunch. Jenny's hungry.
-我知道，但是强尼…——什么? - I know that, but Johnny... - What?
我想我们没钱了。至少我觉得我们没有。 I don't think we have any money. At least I don't think we have.
没有钱吗?20美元怎么了? Haven't any money? What happened with the 20?
- Peer gyynt在鼻子上。-你敢打赌? - Peer gynt on the nose. - You bet it?
你知道些什么?我们在这世上的每一分钱。 What do you know about that? Every cent we got in the world.
如果这不是我听过的最疯狂，最轻率的行为的话。 If that isn't the craziest, most harebrained stunt I ever heard of.
你应该是个商人。 You're supposed to be a businessman.
你就不能赌一赌吗? Couldn't you've at least bet it to show?
我能弥补的，强尼。 I can make it up, Johnny.
哦,当然,当然。 Oh, sure, sure.
与此同时，我们怎么去新奥尔良? In the meantime, how do we get to New Orleans?
我可以把我妈妈留给我的耳环当掉。 I can always pawn the earrings my mother left me.
不,不不。我不会让你去的。 No, no no. I wouldn't let you.

兄弟，你会选马吗?皮尔金特，10比1。 Brother, can you pick horses! Peer gynt, 10 to 1.
你有什么，视力还是什么? What have you got, second sight or something?
看起来很奇怪，当我有很多其他的事情要害怕的时候，我却被一场赛马的赌注吓到了。 Seems odd my being frightened over a bet on a horse race when I had all these other things to be frightened about.
我想是因为这次它触动了我。 I think it was because it had touched me this time.
我和我最在乎的两个人。 Me and the two people I cared most about.

-珍妮…——我的母亲。 - And Jenny was... - My mother.
-你和简的妈妈订过婚?-我非常爱她。 - You were engaged to Jean's mother? - I loved her very much.
-你不知道吗?-爸爸告诉了我一些。 - And you didn't know this? - Dad told me some of it.
是的，但不是所有的事，因为他不知道所有的事。 Yes, but not everything, because he didn't know everything.
-你希望我停下来吗?-不，请不要。 - Would you prefer I stopped? - No, please don't.
在接下来的一个月里，在我们巡视西部的时候，有六种预感都应验了。 In the next month, during our swing around the west, half a dozen of the hunches came through.
再来场赛马，卖小麦，做些快速的股票交易。 Another horse race, a flyer in wheat, some quick stock deals.
考特兰经手这笔钱。我从没碰过它。 Courtland handled the money. I never touched it.
我一天比一天害怕。 I was becoming more frightened every day.
我开始有一种疯狂的感觉，我正在让事情变成现实，就像一个巫毒巫师，通过在洋娃娃上扎针来杀人。 And I began to have a crazy feeling that I was making the things come true, like a voodoo sorcerer who kills people by sticking pins in the doll.
我想起了那个锁骨折断的男人，那个拿着火柴的男孩……如果我保持沉默，他们会出事吗? I thought of the man with the broken collar bone, the boy with the matches... Would anything have happened to them if I had kept quiet?
然后有一天，威奇托一个下雨的下午，当我离开剧院去酒店的时候……答案来了。 And then one day, it was a rainy afternoon in Wichita, as I was leaving the theater for the hotel... The answer came.

这一次我没有说话。我没有告诉别人。 This time lhadn't spoken. I kept it to myself.

你想告诉我吗? You wanna tell me about it?
这一切都很复杂。只是事情发生了。 It's all kind of mixed up. Something just happened.
强尼，看这个。 Johnny, look at this.

我是说在上面，珍妮也是。 Well, I mean on it and so is Jenny.
你想过她吗? Have you thought about her?
听着，强尼，你想结婚。 Look Johnny, you wanna get married.

我认为约翰尼是对的。 I think Johnny is right.
我对这事的感觉也不好。 I haven't had a good feeling about this either.
这是可怕的。 It's scary.

你好。 Hello.
是的。 Yes.
保持冷静。我们马上就过去。 Keep your shirt on. We'll be right over.
20分钟后开演。 Curtain in 20 minutes.
我不知道这是我最后的落幕。 I had no way of knowing it was my final curtain.
我正专注于一个特定的信封。 I am concentrating on a particular envelope.

-是的，先生-太好了 - Yes, sir. - Oh, that's splendid.
而现在……这位年轻的女士有个问题。 And now... The young lady has a problem.
她问:“我是应该嫁给我的男朋友，还是应该找份工作?” She asks, "shall I marry my boyfriend or should I get a job?"
我很少干涉别人的感情，但在这件事上，我想向这位年轻女士保证，当时机成熟时…… I rarely meddle in affairs of the heart, but in this case I should like to assure the young lady that when the time comes...
当她真正坠入爱河的时候，何去何从是毫无疑问的。 When the time comes that she's really in love, there will be no question as to which course to follow.
但在那之前… But until that time...
很抱歉，女士们先生们，现在就到这里吧。 I am sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but that's all for the present.
拉铃落幕。 Ring down the curtain.
我告诉你，拉下窗帘吧! Ring down the curtain, I tell you!
戒指了!响铃落幕! Ring it down! Ring down the curtain!

我只是觉得头晕。不能想。 I just felt dizzy. Couldn't think.
可能因为下了一下午的雨而感冒了。 Probably caught cold been in the rain all the afternoon.
-强尼…-法院在哪里? - Johnny... - Where is court?
他正在上来的路上。 He's on his way up.
是你看到的东西，对吧? It was something you saw, wasn't it?
不，不是的，这次不是。 No, it wasn't, not this time.
-你看到了我的什么事?-别傻了。 - Something you saw about me? - Oh, don't be silly.
如果你不想告诉我，我不介意，这样我们相爱也不会有任何区别。 I don't mind if you don't wanna tell me, just so it doesn't make any difference about our loving each other.
看在老天的份上，珍妮。我告诉过你没什么大不了的。 For the heaven's sake, Jenny. I told you it wasn't anything.
我的大脑一片空白。我无法思考，仅此而已。 My mind went blank. I couldn't think, that was all.
-我们感觉怎么样?——好。 - Well, how are we feeling? - Fine.
哦,那很好。我有个主意能彻底解决问题。 Oh, that's good. I have an idea that'll complete cure.
在楼下的草原小屋放松一下。 A little relaxation in the prairie room downstairs.
跳跳舞，吃点晚饭。 Some dancing and a little supper.
那会很有趣的，不是吗，强尼? That would be fun, wouldn't Johnny?
是的，我完全赞成。你应该休息一下。 Yeah, I'm all for it. You deserve a break.
你已经好几个月没跳舞了。祝你玩得愉快。 You haven't danced in months. Have a good time.
-你也要来吗?-好的，我马上就来。 - But you're coming too? - Yes, I'll join you in a minute.
现在你要在这个地方点最好的晚餐，并确保你有最好的桌子。 Now you order the best supper in the place and be sure you get the best table of the joint.
这就是精神。 That's the spirit.
给乐队放点东西让他们在我查尔斯顿进来的时候演奏得很好。 And slip the orchestra something so they play good when I Charleston into the room.
我把第一支舞留给你。 I'll save the first dance for you.
第一次和最后一次。 The first and the last.
喂，约翰尼，我又跟那个人说话了。 Say, Johnny, I was talking to that man again.
你觉得呢?俄克拉荷马州的科曼奇山。 What do you think? Comanche hills in Oklahoma.
是全国最大的油田之一，法院。 Be one of the biggest oil fields in the country, court.
哦,哥哥! Oh, brother!
我们到楼下看看，约翰尼。快点,珍妮。 We'll see downstairs, Johnny. Come on, Jenny.
——再见,亲爱的。——再见。 - Bye-bye, darling. - Bye-bye.
有人写过一首诗，说的是每个人都杀了他所爱的人。 Somebody once wrote a poem, something about each man killing the thing he loves.
他们可能在写我。 They might have been writing about me.
我在舞台上看到的是珍妮的死亡，是我的死亡，前提是我和她在一起。 What I'd seen looking at Jenny on the stage was her death, a death through me, provided I remained with her.
如果我留下来，我们就结婚了。会有个孩子的。 If I stayed, we'd be married. There 'd be a child.
孩子会活下来，但珍妮不会。 The child would live, but Jenny wouldn't.
也许这是个错误的决定，我现在都不知道。 Maybe it was the wrong decision, I don't even know now.
珍妮当然会受到伤害，不知所措，但我知道法庭会袖手旁观。 Jenny would be hurt, of course, bewildered, but I knew court would stand by.
我知道为了保住我的理智，我必须离开。 I knew to save my sanity, I had to go.
我搭第一班火车出去。它碰巧是西行的。 I took the first train out. It happened to be westbound.
当我坐在满是灰尘的车厢里时，我突然意识到我必须离开的不仅仅是法庭和珍妮。 And as I sat on the dusty chair car, I suddenly realized it wasn'tjust court and Jenny I had to leave.
这是每一个人。 It was everybody.
我变成了一种逆向僵尸。 I became a sort of a reverse zombie.
我生活在一个已经死亡的世界里，只有我自己知道。 I was living in a world already dead, and I alone knowing it.
所以当火车到达亚利桑那州时，我下了车。 So when the train reached Arizona, I got off.
我发现了一个废弃的金矿营地。 I found a deserted gold mining camp.
在那里住了五年。 Lived there for five years.
-珍妮怎么了?-我出生时她就死了。 - What happened to Jenny? - She died when I was born.
是啊，我在报纸上看到过一周后发生的事。 Yeah, I read about it in variety a week after it happened.
我失败了。 I'd failed.
我想写信给法庭，告诉他我多么抱歉，但我意识到那只会制造更多的麻烦。 I wanted to write court and tell him how sorry I was, but I realized that would only make more trouble.
我在沙漠中找到了一种宁静。 I found a sort of peace on the desert.
但我很孤独。 But I was lonely.
然后，在第五年快结束的时候，我看了一份加州的报纸，我读到，石油商惠特尼·考特兰，要在洛杉矶建立总部。 And then, towards the end of the fifth year, I picked up a California newspaper and I read that Whitney courtland, the oil man, was establishing headquarters in Los Angeles.
我也在那里设立了总部，不过附近的环境要低调得多。 I established headquarters there too, though in a far less pretentious neighborhood.
我被一种奇怪的冲动所吸引，想接近我在地球上唯一的朋友。 I was drawn by a strange sort of compulsion to be near the only friend I had on earth.
这是城市的一个奇怪的地方，但我喜欢它。 It was an odd part of the city, but I liked it.
这是一个严格的“不问问题”区域; It was a strictly "no-questions asked" area;
人们只关心他们自己的事，让你关心你自己的事。 people minding their own business and letting you mind yours.
即使15年过去了，我每天的社交会话也不超过25个单词。 Even after 15 years, my social conversation didn't exceed 25 words a day.
我的工作，嗯，也是孤独的。 My work, well, it was solitary too.
客厅魔术，消失的硬币，有记号的卡片。 Parlor magic, disappearing coins, marked cards.
假底水杯，我在杂耍表演的时候学会做的东西，都是邮购的。 False bottom water glasses, things I've learned to make in my vaudeville days, all sold by mail.
这是一种孤独的生活，但在宫廷和他的女儿附近是愉快的。 It was a lonely life, but it was pleasant to be near court and his daughter.
我在我很晚睡觉和工作的房间里从报纸上读到他们的故事。 I read about them in the papers in my room where late, slept and worked.
我可以走到窗口去看他建造的摩天大楼，科曼奇大厦。 I could go to the window and see the skyscraper he built, the comanche building.
在这段时间里，我只有一次冒着命运的危险接近你们。 Only once in all that time did I risk fate by going near either of you.
那是三个月前的事了。 That was three months ago.
那是你在梅菲尔德酒店初次亮相的那晚。 It was the night of your debut at the Mayfield hotel.
我在报纸上看到过。 I'd read about it in the papers.
一千名宾客，大宴会厅里有两支管弦乐队，还有从南美远道而来的兰花。 A thousand guests, two orchestras in the grand ballroom, orchids brought all the way from South America.
我看见你下了车，紧紧地挽着court的胳膊向车门走去。 I watched you leave the limousine and walk towards the doors holding tight to court's arm.
那一刻，仿佛20年从未发生过，仿佛是宫廷和珍妮走进了酒店。 And, for a moment, it was almost as though the 20 years had never been, as though it was court and Jenny going into the hotel.
就在你消失的时候，发生了一件事。 And then, just as you disappeared, something happened.
我瞥见了飞机的残骸。 I had a fleeting glimpse of wreckage, the wreckage of an airplane.
那是一种模糊的印象，就像双重曝光的底片一样，模糊不清。 It was a faint impression, blurred and hazy, like a double-exposed negative.
我完全忘记了，直到有一天晚上，当我工作到很晚的时候，画面突然清晰起来。 I forgot about it entirely, forgot about until one night, as I was working late, the picture jumped into focus.
现在是11:55，由科曼奇石油记者带来的新闻。 Now the 11:55 news, brought to you by your comanche oil reporter.
纽约。今天早些时候，科曼奇石油公司的总裁，惠特尼·考特兰驾驶改装的军用轰炸机，从拉瓜迪亚油田起飞 New York. Flying his converted army bomber, Whitney courtland, multi-millionaire president of comanche oil, took off from la guardia field early today

他和他的飞行员、前陆军王牌上尉马丁森预计能在早餐前到达洛杉矶，如果天气适宜的话…… He and his pilot, captain martinson, former army ace, expect to reach Los Angeles in time for breakfast, if the favorable weather...
我到达你家时已是午夜过后了。 It was after midnight when I reached your house.
我想我是一个长相古怪的人。 I suppose I was an odd looking figure.
至少巴特勒是这么想的。 At least the Butler thought so.
我怕你见不到我，所以他去找你时，我跟踪了他。 I was afraid you wouldn't see me, so when he left to find you, I followed him.
你的朋友们在跳舞。 Your friends were dancing.
我找过你，但没找到你，我就下到楼下的阳台上。 I looked for you but, not finding you there, I went downstairs to the lower terrace.
这是一个慵懒、温暖的夏夜，似乎是世界上最远离悲剧的一个夜晚。 It was a lazy, warm, summer night that seemed as remote from tragedy as anything on earth.
-我让他在外面等-这很重要。 - I told him to wait outside. - This is important.
考特兰小姐，我是你父亲的老朋友。 Miss courtland, I am an old friend of your father's.
我有个紧急消息要告诉他。 And I have an urgent message for him.
对不起，他不在。 I'm sorry, he's not here.
是的，我知道，但我必须马上跟他说话。 Yes, I know, but I must speak to him at once.
恐怕不可能。他从纽约飞过来。 I'm afraid that's impossible. He's flying from New York.
——不间断?-在威奇托一站加油 - Non-stop? - One stop in Wichita for fuel.
那么，请给那里打电话。 Well, then, please call there.
给他留言，让他停止飞行。 Leave a message for him to halt the flight.
停止航班吗?他会嘲笑我。 Halt the flight? He'd laugh at me.
如果你说消息来自约翰·特里同，那就不是。 Not if you say the message comes from John triton.
约翰特里同吗?但爸爸告诉我约翰·特里顿死了。 John triton? But dad told me John triton was dead.
不，他没死。 No, he's not dead.
- John triton是谁?-他是爸爸最好的朋友 - Who is John triton? - He was dad's best friend.
我建议你给那里打个电话。 I'd advise you to call there.
考特兰先生为什么要停飞机? Why should Mr. Courtland stop his flight?
因为如果他不这么做，飞机就会坠毁! Because if he doesn't, the plane will crash!
你是怎么知道的? And just how do you know that?
这有关系吗?现在联系他是不是太晚了? Does it matter? Is it too late to reach him?
-不，我想没有。-那好吧，请打电话。 - No, I suppose not. - Well, then, please call.
你觉得呢，艾略特? What do you think, Elliott?
我认为这是胡说八道。 I think it's a lot of nonsense.
但是，除了电话费上的3美元，你还能失去什么呢? But what can you lose except three dollars on the phone bill?
好吧。 All right.
你好。我想去堪萨斯州威奇托的市政机场。 Hello. I'd like the municipal airport at Wichita, Kansas, please.
你经常预测飞机失事吗? Do you make a practice of going around predicting airplane crashes?
-不，我不喜欢。-也许只是富人的飞机? - No, I don't. - Maybe just the planes of very rich men?
-不，连那些都没有。-那是什么? - No, not even those. - Then what is it?
赌他不会打破纪录? A bet that he won't break the record?
请找夜班经理。 The night manager, please.
你好，我是惠特妮·科特兰的女儿。 Hello, this is Whitney courtland's daughter.
我希望我父亲降落后能给他捎个信。 I'd like a message delivered to my father when he lands.
哦,他有吗? Oh, he has?
不。 No.
不，没关系。再见。 No, that's all right. Good-bye.
-他已经走了。——好!这说明他有前科。 - He's already taken off. - Good! That means he's got the record.
或者一架坠毁的飞机。 Or a smashed up plane.
别傻了。我们这位朋友只是个无害的怪人。 Don't be silly. Our friend here is just a harmless crank.
他走了。 He's gone.
你看到了什么?他是在得手时得手的。 You see? He got while the getting was good.
艾略特，我记得爸爸说过他，说过他有幻象。 Elliott, I remember something dad said about him, something about his having visions.
我也有。我告诉你我看到了什么 I get them too. And I'll tell you what I see:
一场没有成功的敲诈 A shakedown that didn't come off.
你很感动，让我打给你。 You were impressed enough to let me call.
深刻的印象吗?只是想看看他能走多远。 Impressed? Just wanted to see how far he'd go.
你父亲来的时候，我们会开怀大笑的。 We'll have a good laugh when your father comes.
那天晚上我睡不着。 That night I couldn't sleep.
各种想法像风车一样在我脑子里旋转。 Thoughts whirled around my head like pinwheels.
我又一次产生了一种奇怪的感觉，觉得我要对我所看到的一切负责。 Again the strange feeling that I was responsible for the things I saw came to me.
我想知道!应该保持安静。 I wondered if! Should have remain quiet.
然后，我想起了报童。 And then, I remembered the newsboy.
早上，无线电广播宣布飞机失踪了。 In the morning, it was announced over the radio that the plane was missing.
二十年后，它又出现了。 There it was again, after 20 years.
我决定在你找到我之前离开，这次我要把自己彻底埋葬。 I made up my mind to leave before you found me, to Bury myself completely this time.
你记得你敲门的时候我也在收拾那个破箱子吗。 You recall I was packing the same battered suitcase when you knocked on the door.
而你，考特兰小姐，问我是否知道你父亲发生了什么事。 And you, miss courtland, asked me if I knew what had happened to your father.
我不能告诉你。我看到的只有失事的飞机。 I couldn't tell you. All I'd seen was the wrecked plane.
我一直在想你，特里顿先生。 I've thinking a lot about you, Mr. Triton.
有人打电话或打电报告诉你飞机的事。 Somebody telephoned or wired you about the plane.
-我向你保证他们没有。-然后发生了什么? - I assure you they didn't. - Then what did happen?
我有一个预先的警告，大约三个月前的那次撞车的印象。 I had a forewarning, an impression of the crash about three months ago.
-三个月前!-你看到了多少? - Three months ago! - How much did you see?
不是很清楚，只是坠机的印象，仅此而已。 Nothing too clear, just an impression of the crash, that's all.
如果你三个月前就看到了，为什么还要等…请艾略特。飞机在哪里? Look, if you saw all this three months ago, why did you wait... Elliott, please. Where was the plane?
它似乎是在山中的某个地方。 It seemed to have been somewhere in the mountains.
你的朋友没给你多少信息，对吧? Your pal didn't send you very much information, did he?
不。没有其他人和它有关。 No. There's no one else connected with it.
有什么事吗? What's the matter?
你有个女佣。 You have a maid.
-一个又瘦又黑的女孩。——是的,埃德娜。 - A thin dark girl. - Yes, edna.
在你的胸针…你的蓝宝石胸针…… Well, get rid of her before your brooch... Your sapphire brooch...
没关系。 Doesn't matter.
不会有什么区别的。 It won't make any difference.
听着，伙计，我想是时候有人…我们暂时中断节目，为您带来一条特别新闻。 Look, fella, I think it's about time somebody... We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin.
科曼奇天使号轰炸机的残骸，惠特尼·考特兰和他的飞行员马丁森机长正试图打破东西轰炸机的记录， Wreckage of the comanche angel, converted bomber in which Whitney courtland and his pilot, captain martinson, were attempting to smash the east-west record,
今天早些时候被新墨西哥州盖洛普附近的护林员发现。 was discovered early today by forest rangers near gallup, new Mexico.
飞机上的两名乘客都死了。 Both occupants of the plane are dead.
琼! Jean!
将近一个星期，我几乎没有离开过我的房间。 For almost a week, I hardly left my room.
我弄好。我试着不去想我必须做出的决定。 I busied myself. I tried not to think of the decision lknew I had to make.
一定有什么办法可以阻止我所看到的悲剧。 There had to be some way to prevent the tragedy that I had seen.
我的逃跑，我的沉默都没能救珍妮。 My running away, my not speaking hadn't saved Jenny.
现在我想知道!应该试试别的菜…挑战命运。 Now I wondered if! Should try the other course... Challenge fate.
然后，第二天早上你回来见我。 And then, the next morning you came back to see me.
我能和你谈一下吗?-是的，当然。 - May I speak to you for a moment? - Yes, of course.
事实上，我正准备去你家呢。 As a matter of fact, I was just starting for your house.
那我想你已经听说了。 Then I suppose you've heard.
什么? What?
关于我的蓝宝石胸针。 About my sapphire brooch.
我的女仆埃德娜也不见了，就像你说的那样。 It's disappeared and so has my maid, edna, just as you said they would.
抱歉，但我想胸针上了保险。 I'm sorry, but I imagine the brooch was insured.
我也没费心去弄清楚。 I haven't bothered to find out.
你看，我记得你说过这不会有什么区别。 You see, I remember you said that it wouldn't make any difference.
你是说我要死了，是吗? You meant I was going to die, didn't you?
我也是这么想的。 That's what I thought.
还要多久? How soon is it going to be?
很快。 Quite soon.
六个月? Six months?
一个月吗? One month?
比这更早。 Sooner than that.
多久……和在哪里? How soon... and where?
几天之内…在这周结束之前…晚上……在星空下。 Within a few days... Before the end of the week... At night... under the stars.
也许我告诉她是个错误。 Perhaps it was a mistake, my telling her.
除非你想帮她。 Not if you were trying to help her.
我过去是，现在也是。 Oh, I was and am.
我确实想帮忙。我自己也想要。 I do want to help. I want help myself.
生活在这样的环境中是不容易的，它已经把我变成了一个半疯狂的隐士……剥夺了我二十年的光阴。 It isn't easy to live with something like this, something that has turned me into a half-crazy recluse... Robbed me of twenty years.
我试着去理解它。 I've tried to understand it.
我读过有关神秘学、占卜、巫术、变态心理的书，但都无济于事。 I've read books on the occult, on divination, on sorcery, on abnormal psychology, but they haven't helped.
所以我才告诉你这个故事。 That's why I told you the story.
因为我觉得你，再加上你的训练，可以帮助我们解释这些事情也许我们可以一起做点什么来避免我所看到的事情。 Because I thought that you, with your training, could help to explain some of these things and together perhaps we could do something to avert what I've seen.
——做什么?-我不知道。 - Do what? - I don't know.
如果我能透过她躺在星空下的模糊影像看到什么，如果我能看到那个地方，认出它，那么我们就能阻止她去那里。 If I could only have seen something beyond the vague picture of her lying under the stars, if I could've seen the place, identify it, then we could keep her from ever going there.
与此同时，简，你需要休息。 In the meantime, Jean, you need some rest.
你现在应该上床睡觉了。 You ought to be in bed right now.
你会帮忙吗? You'll help?
坦白地说，我仍然很困惑，但当然，我会尽我所能。 Frankly, I am still pretty confused, but of course, I'll do everything I can.
-你不跟我们一起去?-不，你不需要我 - You are not coming with us? - No, you don't need me.
你看，又是白天了。星星不见了。 You see, it's day again. The stars are gone.
艾略特，谢谢你在回家的路上对我这么好。 Elliott, thank you for being so nice on the way home.
关于什么? About what?
不要质疑我，不要生气。 About not questioning me, not being angry.
我永远不会生你的气。 I could never be angry with you.
但你确实让我担心了。 But you certainly had me worried.
我的飞机着陆时，我打电话给家里，但你不在。 When my plane landed, I tried the house, but you weren't here.
我去了他家。 I went to his place.
他似乎很兴奋。他说你有麻烦了。 He seemed very excited. He said you were in trouble.
他知道你的车在哪。 He knew exactly where your car was.
我们到了那里，他让我一个人去，让我带你回餐厅。 We got there, he sent me on alone, told me to bring you back to the restaurant.
他可能从窗户里看到你了，或者让人跟踪你什么的。 He'd probably seen you from his window, or had you followed or something.
-但他没有时间。-我不太确定。 - But he didn't have time. - I'm not too sure about that.
爸爸的情况当然不是这样。 There certainly wasn't in dad's case.
他在飞机从威奇托起飞几分钟后就警告了我们。 He warned us only a few minutes after the plane took off from Wichita.
是啊，这就是我想不出来的角度。 Yeah, that's the angle I couldn't figure.
但现在你信了。你告诉他你知道。 But now you believe. You told him you did.
我只是告诉他我会帮忙，仅此而已。 I told him I'd help and that's all.
你准备好睡觉了吗? Are you ready to get some sleep?
晚安，各位。 Good night.
我是说早上好。再见。 I mean good morning. See you later.
有点早了吧，普雷斯顿? Sort of early, aren't you, Preston?
我们在想考特兰小姐，先生。 We were wondering about miss courtland, sir.
接线生，请接警察总部。 Operator, give me police headquarters, please.
没人告诉我们要有两张驾照! Nobody tell us we gotta have two license!
他要什么我们就给他什么!25美元! We give a man what he asks! Twenty-five dollars!
韦斯顿先生找你，露丝。 Mr. Weston's been calling for you, Ruth.
他为什么不告诉我们我们得有两张驾照! Why he not tell us we gotta have two license!
轮盘赌的轮子藏在地板下面。 The roulette wheels were concealed under the floor.
其中六个被发现，还有一个法罗桌子和两个鸟笼游戏。 Six were uncovered along with a faro table and two birdcage games.
是的,公司文件。特里同新奇的公司。 Yes, corporation papers. Triton novelty company.
我已经告诉你两次了。 I've given you the name twice, now.
进来。 Come in.
你的赌注。我们会尽快申请全面禁令的。给我们开了绿灯。 You bet. We'll ask for a blanket injunction as soon as the da. Gives us a green light.
哦，也许在这周的中间。再见。 Oh, maybe in the middle of the week. Good-bye.
韦斯顿先生，考特兰报道。 Courtland reports, Mr. Weston.
-好吧，肖恩呢?-他正在上来。 - Oh, fine, where's Shawn? - He's on his way up.
好。 Good.
“读心术，邮寄魔术”，“千里眼”，“预知偷窃”，“预见飞机坠毁”，“恐惧到自我暗示自杀的程度”。 "Mind reading, magic tricks by mail, "watching by clairvoyance, thefts predicted, "airplane crashed foreseen, girls frightened to the point of suicide by autosuggestion."
卡森先生，这真是个奇怪的小东西。 Well, it comes to quite a bizarre little bundle, Mr. Carson.
是的，先生，我知道，但是…今天早上，警察把你的电话转过来的时候，听起来就像我们每天接到的156个疯子的电话。 Yes, sir, I know it does, but... This morning, when the police transferred your call, it sounded like one of the 156 we get from crackpots every day.
我就不会为此烦恼了。 I wouldn't have bothered about it.
我差点忘了，可惜考特兰小姐恰好是一场自信比赛的理想目标。 I would've forgotten it, except that miss courtland happens to be an ideal target for a confidence game.
她年轻，富有，不受保护。 She's young, she's wealthy, she's unprotected.
进来。哦，我们到了。 Come in. Oh, here we are.
卡森先生，这是市凶案组的肖恩副队。 Mr. Carson, meet lieutenant Shawn of the city homicide bureau.
你好，中尉? How do you do, lieutenant?
是卡森先生让我们注意到法庭的事。 It was Mr. Carson who called our attention to the courtland matter.
你看过他的口供了吗，副队? Have you read his statement, lieutenant?
我一点也看不懂。 I couldn't make head or tail of it.
看来你不是神秘主义的追随者。 I see you are not a follower of the occult.
我也不是。 Well, neither am I.
我不妨现在就告诉你，卡森先生，我们一直对你的故事持怀疑态度。 And I might as well tell you right now, Mr. Carson, we've been pretty skeptical about this story of yours.
和关于你的。 And about you.
我没指望你会相信什么。我不我自己。 I didn't expect you to believe anything. I don't myself.
奇怪的是，你告诉我们的内容中有很大的事实成分。 Oddly enough, there's a substantial element of fact in what you told us.
——比赛吗?- 20年代有个人自称是特里同，精神巫师。 - Match? - See, there was a man, back in the 20's who billed himself as triton, the mental wizard.
惠特尼·考特兰是他的一员，考特兰的财富来自科曼奇山油田。 Whitney courtland was a member of his act, and the courtland fortune comes from the comanche hills oil field.
1928年8月4日，在绿草地举行的第五场比赛中，一匹名叫皮尔·金特的马获胜。 On August 4th, 1928, the fifth race at green meadows was won by a horse named peer gynt.
只有他被骗了。追踪的赔率是12比1。 Only he got gypped. Track odds were 12 to 1.
-那他说的是实话-一定程度上。 - Then he was telling the truth. - To a certain degree.
赛马的结果不难发现。 Horse race results ain't hard to find.
副队长的意思是，基本事实可能是正确的，我同意。 What the lieutenant means is that the basic facts are probably straight, and I agree.
但为了达到目的，事实很容易被歪曲。 But facts are easily distorted to fit a purpose.
比如，考特兰小姐在铁路站场他知道这件事就应该证明他的幻象是正确的吗? For instance, miss courtland's being in the railroad yards and his knowing about it is supposed to be proof for the validity of his visions?
是你自己提出的解决方案。 Well, you offered the solution to that yourself.
玄关。 Back porch.
从后面的门廊可以看到铁路站场，而且眼睛很好，可以看到一辆停着的敞篷车。 It's possible to see the railroad yards from the back porch and with a good eye to spot a parked convertible.
还有关于女仆埃德娜，带着蓝宝石胸针消失的预言……一直都很让人困惑直到肖恩有了新发现。 Then this prediction about edna, the maid, vanishing with the sapphire brooch... It's all very baffling until Shawn here made a discovery.
她以前住在邦克山，离特里同只有几个街区。 She used to live on bunker hill, a couple of blocks from triton.
做先知很容易，卡森先生，有一两个同伙帮忙。 It's pretty easy to be a prophet, Mr. Carson, with a confederate or two to help things along.
还有一件事，韦斯顿先生。 There's still one item, Mr. Weston.
他怎么会知道飞机失事的事呢? How could he have known about the plane crash?
告诉他。 Tell him.
我们和新墨西哥州的警察谈过。 We were talking to the police of new Mexico.
飞机在山里失事了，但它没有撞到顶峰，而是坠落了。 The plane was wrecked in the mountains, but it had not hit a peak, it fell.
-因为它扔了一个螺旋桨。-那不是不可能的。 - On account it threw a propeller. - That's not impossible.
不，不，如果有人拿着文件在轴上工作。 No, no if somebody worked on the shaft with a file.
根据调查人员的说法，事实就是如此。 Which according to the investigators, is exactly what happened.
-那就是谋杀!-又不是乒乓球。 - Then, it's murder! - It ain't table tennis.
你知道吗?我和大多数警察不一样。 You know? I'm different from most cops.
大多数警察的脚都疼，但我是背疼。 Most cops feet hurt, but with me it's my back.
-晚上好，中尉。——你好,延命菊。一切都准备好了吗? - Good evening, lieutenant. - Hello, gowan. Everything set?
周围有六个人，里面有两个人。 Half a dozen men around the place and a couple inside.
只有奇迹才能通过。 It would take a miracle get through.
这种事已经发生过了。你和贝尔泰利跟我来。 They've been known to happen. You and bertelli come along.
逮捕特里同不是更简单吗? Wouldn't it be simpler to arrest triton?
为了什么?警告人们飞机失事? For what? Warning people about airplane crashes?
晚上好，卡森先生。 Good evening, Mr. Carson.
这是什么?神奇的家伙? What's this? The magic guy?
我只是碰巧在看窗外，先生。 I just happen to be looking out of the window, sir.
-我想没有法律禁止。-没错，中尉。 - No law against that, I guess. - That's right, lieutenant.
难道螺旋桨轴的证据不足以拘留他吗? Wouldn't the evidence of the propeller shaft be enough to hold him?
因为他当时在洛杉矶。 Huh-uh, on account of he was in la.
贴在这里。我可能需要你。 Stick around here. I might need you.
-但他知道-是的，看起来是这样。 - But he knew about it. - Yes, kind of looks that way.
这是什么?一个会议吗? What's this? A convention?
考特兰先生的一些生意伙伴。 Some of Mr. Courtland's business associates.
艾略特!请原谅我。 Elliot! Excuse me, please.
简，这是肖恩中尉。 Jean, this is lieutenant Shawn.
艾略特在电话里跟我提起过你。 Elliott's told me about you on the phone.
希望我的人没惹你生气，考特兰小姐。 Hope my men haven't upset you, miss courtland.
不，他们很有礼貌，也很安慰人。 No, they've been very polite and comforting.
请进。 Please come in.
这些先生和爸爸在东部完成石油合并。 These gentlemen were with dad in the east completing an oil merger.
肖恩中尉，吉尔曼先生，中潮石油公司总裁。 Lieutenant Shawn, Mr. Gilman, president of mid-tide oil.
你好中尉? How are you. Lieutenant?
迈尔斯先生，遗产的律师，还有彼得·文森，爸爸的秘书。 Mr. Myers, attorney for the estate, and Peter vinson, dad's secretary.
你好，中尉? How do you do, lieutenant?
你好，卡森，著名的地质学家怎么样了? Hello, Carson, how is the celebrated geologist?
——好。-这些人住在这里? - Fine. - These folks are living here?
是的，他们一直在检查爸爸的文件。 Why, yes, they've been going over dad's papers.
一些合并细节丢失了。 Some of the merger details were lost.
-财产也需要清算。-你知道通灵的事吗? - The estate needs settling too. - You know about this psychic business?
是的，考特兰小姐告诉了我们一些事情，我们想帮忙。 Yes, miss courtland told us something about it, and we would like to help.
不过，如果你愿意，我们可以走了。 However, if you'd rather, we'll leave.
-我不会这么想的。-不管怎么说都是无稽之谈。 - I wouldn't think of it. - Nonsensical business anyway.
也许……也许不是。 Maybe... maybe not.
如果你愿意合作，你留下来也没什么用。 Don't think your staying will make much difference, provided you're willing to cooperate.
你可以相信我们，副队。 Oh, you can count on us, lieutenant.
简知道我的感受。 Jean knows the way I feel.
你打算怎么做，副队? What do you plan to do, lieutenant?
在附近逗留到周末。 Hang around until the end of the week.
-再过两天-别担心，小姐。 - Two more days. - Don't you worry, miss.
不,我不会。你们都来了，还有特里同先生。 No, I won't. Not with all of you here, and Mr. Triton too.
-你把他关在屋里了?-是的，中尉，我在这里。 - You got him in the house? - Yes, lieutenant, I am here.
你觉得怎么样? How do you like that?
你的态度很自然。 Your attitude is natural enough.
我想你已经仔细分析了我的故事，寻找可能的解释。-我们用了几个。 I suppose you've been breaking down my story, - finding possible explanations. - We ran on a couple.
是的，但有些事是无法解释的。 Yes, but there are some things that are beyond explanation.
否则，我就被捕了。 Othenrvise, I'd be under arrest.
这主意不错。 Not a bad idea.
我叫他来，中尉，和我在一起。 I asked him to come, lieutenant, to be with me.
是的，我想我也许能帮上忙。 Yes, you see, I think I may be of help.
在我看来，你不能。 Not in my book, you can't.
我希望，也许如果我…我可以更详细地了解将要发生的事情。 I'm hoping, perhaps if I... I may see things more detailed what will happen.
来吧，特里同先生，我们是成年人了。 Come now, Mr. Triton, we're adults.
你不能用幻想说服我们。 You can't sell us on visions.
让他说出他的观点。 Let him speak his piece.
卡森先生和我已经讨论过了。 Mr. Carson and I have already discussed it.
如果我看得清楚，也许可以采取预防措施。 If I see things clearly, it may be possible to take precautions.
那不是我的工作吗? Wouldn't that be my job?
是的，当然，所以卡森先生叫你来的时候我很高兴。 Yes, of course, that's why I was pleased when Mr. Carson called you in.
但你的能力是有限的。 But your powers are limited.
是啊，我泡茶的运气不太好。 Yeah, I never had much luck with tea leaves.
这就引出了一个我很好奇的问题。 Which brings us to a point I'm very curious about.
你如何解释这些所谓的幻象，特里同先生? How do you account for these alleged visions, Mr. Triton?
我…我怀疑我是否能解释清楚。 I... I doubt if I can explain it.
我不介意听你试试。 I wouldn't mind hearing you try.
嗯,我,嗯…我想了很多，也读了很多关于预见性的书，在某个地方，我看到了一幅插图，几乎涵盖了预见性。 Well, I've, uh... I've thought and read a great deal on prevision, and somewhere I've come across an illustration that very nearly covers it.
假设你在火车上。 Suppose you're on a train.
你向窗外望去，看到了一座白色的农舍。 You look out the window, and you see a white farmhouse.
一分钟后它就消失了，然后你就可以在田野里看牛了。 In a minute it's gone, then you're watching cattle in a field.
就在前面，虽然你还看不到，但有一丛枫树。 And just ahead, even though you can't see it yet, is a clump of maple trees.
过去，现在和未来。 Past, present and future.
但对火车上的人来说，他们都是一个人。 But to the man on top of the train, they're all one.
他一眼就能看到农舍、牛和树。 At one glance, he can see farmhouse, cattle and trees.
嗯…有时候，我就像火车顶上的那个人，尽管我可能就坐在里面。 Well... Occasionally, I'm like that man on top of the train, even though I may be sitting inside it.
当你坐在里面的时候，你是怎么爬到上面去的? How do you get on top when you're sitting inside?
你去过那里。 You've been there.
你们所有的人。 All of you.
你有经验。 You've had experiences.
那些你在打开之前就知道内容的电报。 Telegrams that you knew the contents of before you opened them.
看似熟悉的地方，尽管你从未去过。 Places that seem familiar, though you've never been in them before.
在悲剧的情感压力下，你是否注意到，当大脑试图逃离时间时，一切都变得扭曲和不真实。 And under the emotional stress of tragedy, have you noticed how everything becomes distorted and unreal as the mind tries to escape into time.
在梦里，它也会消失。 And in dreams, it escapes too.
并不总是幻想。 Not always into fantasy.
有时梦想成真。 Sometimes the dreams come true.
你的幻象总是如此。 Your visions always do.
是的，他们过去总是这样。 Yes, they always have in the past.
而且不是我要求的。我无法控制他们。 And not of my asking. I've no control over them.
他们来了就来了。 They come when they come.
他的房间在哪里? Where's his room?
在塔上，在阳台上。 In the tower, over the terrace.
他想远离所有人。 He wanted to be away from everyone.
现在是10点，根据你的推测，考特兰小姐只有在晚上，繁星满天的时候才会有危险。 It's 10:00, and according to your theory, miss courtland's in danger only at night, when the stars are out.
好吧，我来做个交易。 All right, I'll make a deal.
你可以留下来，只要你在房间里待到天亮。 You can stay, provided you stick in you room until daylight.
你想让我现在就走吗?-是的，我会的。 - Would you like me to go now? - Yes, I would.
特莱顿先生，你不必…没关系。我更喜欢它。我和人相处20年了，觉得不自在。 Mr. Triton, you don't have to... It's all right. I prefer it. I feel uneasy with people after 20 years.
这是你们的鸽子，孩子们。他在那里有个阁楼。 There's your pigeon, boys. He got a loft up there.
注意别让他走。 See that he don't leave.
你确定要去花园吗? Are you sure you wanna go into the garden?
我难过的时候总是这样。 I always do when I'm upset.
这是一种远离麻烦的藏身之处。 It's a sort of hideaway from trouble.
再说，如果是这样，我们也无能为力。 Besides, if it's to be, there's nothing we can do about it.
Jean，这不是不可避免的。这根本不可能。 Jean, it's not inevitable. It's not even likely.
-他看到了。-他说他看到了 - He saw it. - He said he saw it.
我讨厌这种，这种可怕的顺从，就好像你已经半死。 I hate this, this terrible resignation, as though you were half-dead already.
你就像个机器人在扮演角色。 You're like an automaton playing a part.
一个被锁定了48小时的机器人。 An automaton locked down for 48 hours.
这正是我想说的。 That's exactly what I'm talking about.
艾略特! Elliot!
-只是问问，伙计们。——这是正确的。 - Just checking up, folks. - That's right.
这位是考特兰小姐。我想她来这里也没什么。 This is miss courtland. I guess it's all right for her to be down here.
原谅我。来吧,乔。 Excuse me. Come on, Joe.
我希望我能告诉你警方的调查结果。 I wish I could tell you what the police have found out.
-你为什么不能?——我答应。 - Why can't you? - I promised.
他们认为…… They think that...
-他们认为你会去triton。——我想。 - Well, they think you'd go to triton. - I would.
我可以告诉你这么多，你也可以告诉triton。 I can tell you this much, and you can tell triton.
对整个事件有一个合乎逻辑却又令人不快的解释。 There's a logical and very unpleasant explanation for the whole business.
报童吗?我的妈妈? For the newsboy? For my mother?
他把一堆半真半假的东西编织成一个完整的谎言。 He has taken a group of half-truths and woven them into an overall lie.
你忘了一件事。爸爸给我讲过他的故事。 You're forgetting one thing. Dad's told me stories about him.
我一直记住。我记得科曼奇山，还有爸爸曾经说过这块地其实属于特里同先生。 I've been remembering. I remember comanche hills and how dad once said the field really belonged to Mr. Triton.
你确定你记得吗? Are you sure you remembered it?
还是特里同给你留下的记忆? Or is it something triton remembered for you?
-至少相信我…-嘿! - At least give me credit for... - Hey there!
不要以为我同意这个算命的玩笑，但如果天上的星星发生了什么事，我会看起来很傻，你们俩也会。 Don't think I'm going along with this fortune-telling gag, but I'd look pretty silly and so would both of you if anything happened with all them stars up there.
你为什么不像他和其他人一样上床睡觉呢? Why don't you go to bed like him and the rest of them have?
窗户都打开了，考特兰小姐。 The windows are all looked, miss courtland.
谢谢你！ Thank you.
你想让我睡在你的更衣室吗? Would you like me to sleep in your dressing room?
不，我不这么认为。 No, I don't think so.
我不害怕至少我不这么认为。 I'm not afraid. At least I don't think I am.
你去睡觉，好好睡一觉。 You go to bed and get a good night sleep.
是的,stephen yang小姐。 Yes, miss courtland.
-可以进去了吗?-当然，只要他不出来。 - All right to go in? - Sure, as long as he don't come out.
他们说他有点奇怪，是真的吗? Is what they say true, that he's kind of strange?
这是相当接近。 It's pretty close.
进来。 Come in.
我正希望你能来呢，卡森先生。 Oh, I was hoping you'd come, Mr. Carson.
为什么? Why?
刚才，面纱又揭开了。 A moment ago, the veil lifted again.
我看到了许多事情，关于琼，关于我自己，一些我不理解的奇怪而模糊的事情。 I saw many things, about Jean, about myself, strange and obscure things that I don't understand.
也许作为一名科学家，你可以帮助解释…科学家不相信幻象，我也不想听。 Perhaps as a scientist, you can help to interpret... Scientists don't believe in visions, and I don't wanna hear about them.
怀疑我，保持开放的心态难道不明智吗? Wouldn't it be sensible even doubting me to keep an open mind?
如果我是对的，而你没有帮忙，你永远不会原谅自己。 You'd never forgive yourself if I was right and you hadn't helped.
你看到了什么? What did you see?
这次情况有所不同。 It was different this time.
一连串模糊的闪光，然后是中央视野。 A series of cloudy flashes, and then the central vision.
我做了笔记以确保我记住了顺序。 I made notes to make sure I remember the order.
我看见一朵花被鞋跟踩碎了，一阵突然袭来的热风震碎了窗户，一个花瓶掉在地上摔得粉碎。 I saw a flower crushed under a heel, a sudden hot wind that shook the windows, a vase shattered on the floor.
我听到一个声音说"现在没有危险了" And I heard a voice saying, "there's no danger now."
然后我又看见她躺在星空下……她的……一些我完全不明白的东西，一些看起来像狮子脚的东西。 And then I saw her again lying under the stars and... By her... Something I don't understand at all, something that looked like the feet of a lion.
我知道这听起来很荒谬，但我看得很清楚。 Oh, I know it sounds ridiculous but I saw them clearly.
大大的前爪，弯曲的爪子几乎碰到她的头。 Big front paws with curved talons almost touching her head.
-这没什么意义。-是的，我知道。 - It doesn't make much sense. - Yes, I know.
你说你也看到了自己的影子? And you say you saw something about yourself too?
是的,我看到了…… Yes, I saw...
呃，这不重要。 Uh, it's not important.
你知道那一刻是什么时候吗? Did you see when the moment was?
明晚，当钟敲响11点的时候。 Tomorrow night, as the clock strikes 11.
-我和他谈过了-是的，我听说了。 - I've been talking with him. - Yeah, I heard.
他是令人信服的。 He's convincing.
我上去想让他崩溃，结果他…他摇了摇我。 I went up there to break him down, and instead he... Well, he shook me.
更多的愿景? More visions?
一系列的，包括时间设定。 A whole series of them, including one setting the time.
-明晚11点。——好吧,不错。 - Tomorrow night at 11. - Well, fine.
现在我们都可以睡觉了。他还有什么? Now we can all go to bed. What else did he have?
一连串的小事件导致了这一时刻。 A chain of small events leading up to the moment.
第一个是一朵花，被人踩碎了。 The first was a flower, crushed under somebody's foot.
然后，在琼的头旁边，他看到了一只狮子的脚。 Then, by Jean's head, he saw the feet of a lion.
脚上的什么? The feet of a what?
-珍，你还好吗?-你没事吧，考特兰小姐? - Jean, are you all right? - Are you all right, miss courtland?
-发生了什么事?-我不知道。 - What happened? - I don't know.
有东西遮住了我的脸。我不能呼吸。 Something over my face. I couldn't breathe.
你做了个噩梦。 You had a nightmare.
不，我不这么认为。我以前从来没有吃过。 No, I don't think so. I've never had one before.
可怜的孩子!她怎么了? The poor child! What happened to her?
你需要帮忙吗? Do you need any help?
琼小姐……-喝点水。 - Miss Jean... - Get some water.
这东西怎么会在这里?它应该放在沙发床上。 What's this doing here? It belongs on the daybed.
有人或什么东西来过这里，但不可能是人类。 Someone or something's been here, but nothing human could've been.
窗户是锁着的。我自己看的。 The windows were locked. I looked them myself.
也许是这样。 Maybe so.
但他们并没有一直这样。在更衣室里可不行。 But they didn't stay that way. Not in that dressing room.
-你要去哪里?——在楼下。有一些是错误的。 - Where are you going? - Downstairs. There's something wrong.
是的，但我们奉命把你留在这里。 Yeah, but we've got orders to keep you up here.
-我马上就来。-再走一步我就揍你。 - I'll only be a minute. - One more step and I'll wing you.
我们不是在开玩笑。 We're not kidding.
别忘了我警告过你。 Don't forget I warned you.
20年来第一次。 First time in 20 years.
是的,是他。 Yeah, it's him.
我感觉你有麻烦了。 I sensed you were in some kind of trouble.
我的眼睛感觉到了。你的麻烦。 Sensed it, my eye. You're the trouble.
外面发生了什么? What was going on out there?
-你怎么进来的?——我走。 - How did you get in here? - I walked.
你没告诉我你坐过飞机真是奇迹。 It's a wonder you don't tell me you flew.
-为什么要开枪?-好了，放松点。 - What's the shooting about? - All right, take it easy.
是谁开枪的? Who was doing the shooting?
-你告诉他。——我。 - You tell him. - Me.
——什么?-好像在地上。 - At what? - Kind of at the ground.
在地上? At the ground?
一开始是冲着他的，但我的枪打不开。 Well, first at him, but my gun wouldn't fire.
然后它来了，只是他不见了。 Then it did, only he was gone.
他倒霉的。 He jinxed it.
副队，现在不是我的时间。 You see, lieutenant, it isn't my time.
好吧，现在不是。这就是为什么没人能碰我。 Well, it isn't now. That's why nothing can touch me.
这是花花公子。 That's just dandy.
我等不及要告诉检察官了。 I can hardly wait to tell the da.
我们不能碰你，因为这不是你的时间。 We can't touch you because it isn't your time.
你可以骗过几个愚蠢的侦探，告诉我们一些关于压碎的花，破碎的花瓶和狮子脚的事情。 You can trick a couple of dumb detectives and hand us a line about crushed flowers, broken vases and lions feet.
你可以试着让我们放松警惕，说明天晚上之前没有危险，然后你可以从窗户爬下来，尽力干掉考特兰小姐。 You can try and throw us off guard by claiming there's no danger until tomorrow night, and you can shinny down from your window and do your best to knock off miss courtland.
但我们不能碰他。 But we can't touch him.
这不是你的时间。给他看。 It isn't your time. Show him.
你犯了一个严重的错误。 You are making a serious mistake.
我的命运和考特兰小姐息息相关。 My fate is linked to miss courtland's.
正因为如此，我是唯一能救她的人。 Because of that, I'm the only one who might save her.
你的命运与一副手铐相连。 Your fate is linked to a pair a handcuffs.
现在，骑着他去市中心。 Now, ride him downtown.
这只是浪费时间。 Well, it's just a waste of time.
我明晚11点以前回来。 I'll be back tomorrow night before 11.
把书扔给他。 Throw the book at him.
如果他不是那么正常的话，我会同意你的看法。 I'd agree with you if he wasn't so normal otherwise.
我请了几个大学的心理学家今晚来看他。 I got a couple of psychologists from the university coming in to see him this evening.
嗯哼。大约10点。 Mm-hmm. About 10:00.
我会和你保持联系的。 I'll keep in touch with you.
-还有一个小时。-是你，迈尔斯先生 - One hour left to go. - Oh, it's you, Mr. Myers.
我不知道我该怎么熬过这一切。 I don't know how I'm gonna live through this.
我已经吓得半死。 I'm scared half to death already.
和那个窗口。警察已经追了我一整天了。 And that window. The police have been after me all day.
你觉得会不会是外面的人干的? Do you think it could've been him somehow from the outside?
有一个更简单的解释。你没关窗户。 There's a simpler explanation. You left the window open.
我当然可以，但我不敢相信我会……-中尉在哪里?-我不知道。 I could have, of course, but I can't believe that I'd... - Where is the lieutenant? - I don't know.
他告诉我们十点钟到这儿。 He told us to be here at ten.
这样我们就不用做功了。 That's to keep us from doing any work.
你不觉得这很重要吗，迈尔斯先生? You don't think this is important, Mr. Myers?
我认为这都是胡扯。 I think it's all poppycock.
尤其是我们的占卜师在监狱里。 Especially with our nostradamus in jail.
我们没有去寻找一堆36小时后就会一文不值的股票期权，而是胡乱编造了一大堆鬼故事。 Instead of searching for a packet of stock options that will be worthless in 36 hours, we fiddle-faddle with a lot of ghost stories.
你确定你不记得你父亲把文件放哪了吗? You're sure you can't remember where your father put the papers?
不，我一直在努力，但发生了这么多事…你怎么能指望这个可怜的孩子记得任何事? No, I've been trying to, but with all this... How you expect the poor child to remember anything?
你父亲的秘书呢? What about your father's secretary?
不，彼得也不知道。 No, Peter doesn't know either.
-不知道什么?-他们在找文件。 - Doesn't know what? - They're looking for some papers.
中期合并的必要选择。 Options necessary for the mid-tide merger.
我建议我们58分钟不谈生意，专注于所谓的预言。 I suggest we forget business for 58 minutes and concentrate on the so-called prophecy.
很明显，他已经错失了一连串事件的良机? Isn't it obvious he's missed the boat with his chain of events?
一朵花被踩碎了，一阵狂风，一个花瓶被打碎了，一个声音说:“现在没有危险了。” A flower crushed underfoot, a sudden wind, a vase shattered, a voice saying, "there's no danger now."
他的狮子也没了。 And he's fresh out of lions too.
我们把房子里所有有狮子的垃圾都清理掉了。书挡，灯，柴架，甚至那些在入口处的石头。 We got rid of every piece ofjunk in the house with a lion on it... Bookends, lamps, andirons, even those stone ones at the entrance.
-你去哪儿了?-检查防御系统。 - Where have you been? - Checking the defenses.
我必须说这是一个非常好的节目;警察无处不在。 I must say it's a very good show; Policemen everywhere.
-没有一个贼。-那是不可能的 - Not a prowler in sight. - And there ain't gonna be.
在十点半，我们都有地方要去。 At half past ten, we all got places to be.
我们要在里面待到11点。 And we're gonna stay in 'em until 11.
然后，如果什么都没发生，我就去我在花园里的藏身处。 And then, if nothing happens, I'll go down to my hideaway in the garden.
——为什么?-告诉星星他们错了。 - What for? - To show the stars they were wrong.
中尉,你知道吗?我一直在思考。 You know, lieutenant? I've been thinking.
因为你是在假设的基础上操作的。 Since you're operating on the assumption.
特里同先生可能是对的，把花拿掉不是一个好主意吗，这样就不会有被踩扁的可能了? Mr. Triton could be right, wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the flowers, eliminate the possibility of one being crushed underfoot?
——废话。-不会造成伤害的。 - Nonsense. - Can't do no harm.
延命菊……-我买了。-我来处理，妹妹。 Gowan... - I'll take them. - I'll handle this, sister.
啊,没有。哦,我的天哪! Ah, no. Oh, my goodness!
抓住它!不要任何人动! Hold it! Don't anybody move!
没有一个人被踩到。把它们拿出来扔了。 Not a one stepped on. Take 'em out and dump 'em.
有那么一分钟，我几乎相信了。 For a minute, I almost believed.
给了我一种真实的感觉…——那是什么?——什么? Gave me a real feeling of... - What's that? - What?
在你的脚。 Under your foot.
嗯…真会猜，我们的特莱顿先生。 Well... Quite a guesser, our Mr. Triton.
整整八小时阅读有关这个主题的文献……占卜，预言，占卜，预言的书都被灰尘覆盖了，我比刚开始的时候更困惑了。 Eight solid hours reading literature on the subject... Dust covered volumes on soothsaying, vaticination, augury, prophecy, and I'm more confused than when I started.
沃尔特斯应该能帮你。这正是他的拿手好戏。 Walters ought to be able to help you. It's right up his alley.
嗯,不完全。 Well, not completely.
我们在大学里做了超感官测试。 We have made extrasensory tests at the university.
平常的…从隐藏的牌组中选择牌。 The usual ones... selecting cards from a concealed deck.
-还有掷骰子。-在我们的控制中有一些相当惊人的变化。 - And rolling dice. - With some rather astonishing variations among our controls.
但要检查这个人需要几周时间。 But it would take weeks to examine this man.
首先，我们必须确保没有任何作弊的机会，然后，好吧，每次考试的数学计算都是惊人的。 First, we'd have to make sure there was absolutely no chance of trickery, and then, well, the mathematical computations for each single test are staggering.
,一般有争议的。 And generally controversial.
至少，你可以私下告诉我他到底是冒牌货还是疯子。 Well, at least, you can give me an off-the-record opinion as to whether he's a faker or a madman.
我们可以和他谈谈。 We can talk to him.
- triton来了吗?是的，先生。 - Is triton here yet? - - Yes, sir.
-让他进来。——是的,先生。 - Send him in. - Yes, sir.
我可以告诉你。你会发现他是一个很有说服力的顾客。 I can tell you this. You will find him about as convincing a customer as...
特莱顿先生，这两位是大学的。 Mr. Triton, these two gentlemen are from the university.
-你好!-你好! - How do you do? - How do you do?
是的，我读过沃尔特斯教授关于超心理学的一些书。 Yes, I have read some of professor Walters' books on parapsychology.
我觉得你那本关于心灵感应和直觉的专著特别有趣，先生。 I found your monograph on mental telepathy and intuition particularly interesting, sir.
哦,过奖了。 Oh, I'm flattered.
特莱顿先生，我请这些先生…来判断我是骗子还是疯子。 Mr. Triton, I've asked these gentlemen to... To determine whether I'm a faker or a madman.
而你，先生，一直在解释超感官性质的测试是漫长而困难的因为数学计算和欺骗的可能性。 And you, sir, have been explaining the tests of an extrasensory nature are lengthy and difficult due to the mathematical computations and the possibilities of trickery.
-叫威尔逊过来。——是的,先生。 - Send Wilson in here. - Yes, sir.
威尔逊，你在外面站了多久? Wilson, how long were you standing out there?
-我们刚走出电梯。——仅此而已。谢谢你！ - We just stepped out of the elevator. - That's all. Thank you.
很好的推理。 Neat piece of deduction.
当然，他知道我们说的是测试他我们可能会提出明显的反对意见，但这是一种很棒的室内魔术。 Of course, he knew we were talking about testing him and we'd probably bring up the obvious objections, but an excellent parlor magic.
我向你们保证，先生们，这不是客厅魔术。 I give you my word, gentlemen, this is not parlor magic.
是的，我曾沉迷于戏剧表演，但这是有目的的。 Yes, I have indulged myself in a bit of theatrics but for a purpose.
我非常需要你的帮助来说服韦斯顿先生放了我。 I desperately need your help to persuade Mr. Weston to set me free.
如你所知，考特兰小姐命悬一线。 As you know, miss courtland's life hangs in the balance.
如果允许我去那所房子靠近她，我就有可能用我的力量救她。 If I'm allowed to go to the house to be near her, there is a possibility that I may use this power of mine to save her.
——很有趣。-如果他去了那所房子，而那女孩还活着，就像她愿意的那样，他可以坚持说他是负责任的，并要求一笔可观的报酬。 - Very interesting. - And if he goes to the house and the girl lives, as she will, he can maintain that he was responsible and ask for a substantial reward.
不。 No.
不，我不要报酬，先生。 No, I'll ask for no reward, sir.
首先，我活不长了。 In the first place, I haven't long to live.
我不是在寻求同情。 Oh, I'm not appealing for sympathy.
我不在乎发生什么。 I don't care what happens.
这个礼物，我从来没有要求过，我也不理解，给我带来的只是不幸。 This gift, which I never asked for and I don't understand, has brought me only unhappiness.
在过去的20年里，在不同的时间里，我预见到了一些悲惨的事件。 Over a period of 20 years, at various times, I've foreseen tragic occurrences.
无论我做什么，我都无法阻止它们成真。 And no matter what I did, I couldn't prevent them coming true.
我想也许你能告诉我一些关于它的事。 I thought perhaps you could tell me something about it.
为什么要给我这份礼物? Why was this gift given to me?
为什么另一种权力被剥夺了呢? And why was this other power withheld?
这种能化恶为善的力量。 This power to turn evil into good.
你得让我走。 You've gotta let me go.
这是我唯一的机会，最后的机会。 This is my only chance, my last one.
这次我可能会打乱韦斯顿先生跟你说的这一连串事件。 There is a possibility that this time I may disrupt this chain of events that Mr. Weston has told you about.
违抗命运，拯救考特兰小姐! Defy fate and save miss courtland!
他表现得很好。 He puts up a good show.
当然，你知道我们必须要有更确凿的证据才能提出释放的建议。 Of course, you realize we must have more concrete evidence before a recommendation for release could be made.
我希望我给你的够多了。 Well, I hope I've given you enough.
一种幻觉，做他这一行的人可能并不陌生……这是水晶球综合症。 A kind of hallucination, probably not unknown to people in his line of work... A crystal ball syndrome.
他显然专注于一些悲剧事件，比如考特兰先生的死，并说服自己他预见到了这一切。 He apparently fastens on some tragic occurrence, like Mr. Courtland's death, convinces himself that he foresaw it.
从那开始，让他相信…韦斯顿先生! From there, it's only a step for him to believe that... Mr. Weston!
你桌上有一些文件是关于一个被判谋杀罪的人的，阿莫斯·布洛克。 You have on your desk some papers relating to a man convicted of murder, Amos block.
你的眼睛很好。 You have very good eyes.
他明天会被转移到圣昆廷监狱。 He's to be moved to San Quentin tomorrow.
他不会去的。 He'll never make the trip.
我看到他在牢房里。 I see him in his cell.
自杀。 Suicide.
这个可以检验。 That's one you can check.
奎因吗?这是韦斯顿。 Quinn? It's Weston.
布洛克怎么样了?哦,你做了吗?很好。 How's block getting along? Oh, you did? Fine.
哦，就是问问。晚安，各位。 Oh, just checking up. Good night.
你的人在牢里玩纸牌呢。 Well, your man is in a cell all right, playing solitaire.
当我打开收音机时，有人正在谈论一只狮子从动物园逃出来。 When I turned on the radio, someone was talking about a lion escaping from the zoo.
我在九点的广播里听到的，是一个警告，但我不确定。 I heard it on the 9:00 broadcast, a warning about something, but I'm not sure.
好了，伙计们，这是准备工作。 Well, folks, here's the setup.
我和卡森先生和考特兰小姐待在这里。 Me and Mr. Carson are gonna stick in here with miss courtland.
高文将住在露台上。 Gowan will stay on the terrace.
贝内姆，你去巡视房子。 Benem, you're to patrol the house.
剩下的人回自己房间去。 And the rest of you will go to your rooms.
中尉，我以为我们会被允许协助守卫考特兰小姐。 Lieutenant, I thought we were going to be permitted to assist in guarding miss courtland.
现在,什么? Now, what?
抓到他们俩想溜出去，副队。 Caught these two trying to sneak out, lieutenant.
——是吗?有什么好主意?-我们走了。 - Yeah? What's the big idea? - We are leaving.
当一个人注定了，别人就跟他走。 When a person is fated, others go with him.
——这简直是可笑!——荒唐? - That's ridiculous! - Ridiculous?
考特兰先生的飞行员怎么样?他明白了。 How about Mr. Courtland's pilot? He got it.
-让他们走，中尉。——好的。 - Let them go, lieutenant. - All right.
市中心的驾驭它们。11点后松开。 Ride them downtown. Turn them loose after 11.
-不，等一下…-你想离开，是吗? - No, wait a minute... - You wanted to leave, didn't you?
-对不起，考特兰小姐。-没关系，妹妹。 - I'm sorry, miss courtland. - Never mind, sister.
-来吧，我们走。-现在假设我们都开始行动。 - Come on, let's go. - Now suppose we all get moving.
我想对吉尔曼的抗议再加一句。 I would like to add my protest to gilman's.
我们俩，还有彼得，都很能帮忙，我们讨厌像孩子一样被关起来。 Both of us, and Peter too, are perfectly capable of assisting, and we resent being shut away like children.
迈尔斯先生，你说得对。 Well, Mr. Myers, you got a point.
但你看，这跟你想的不太一样。 But, you see, this ain't exactly like you think it is.
这不只是一次大规模的捉鬼行动。 It ain't just a wholesale ghost hunt.
我们有理由相信有人篡改了考特兰先生的飞机。 We've got reason to believe that somebody tampered with Mr. Courtland's plane.
-那就不是意外了?——说。 - Then, it wasn't an accident? - Huh-uh.
我们认为可能就是那个人昨晚试图救考特兰小姐，如果那是尝试的话。 And we think maybe that same somebody tried for miss courtland last night, if it was a try.
他今晚会笨到来吗? Would he be fool enough to come tonight?
他可能会，11岁的时候，希望每个人都认为这是超自然的交易。 Oh, he might, at 11, hoping everybody would think it was a supernatural deal.
triton在哪里呢? Just where does triton fit in?
他就是烟幕弹。他说的那些狮子、压碎的花和打碎的花瓶之类的话，都是些空话。 He's the smoke screen. And all his stuff about lions and crushed flowers, and broken vases is so much malarkey.
-粉饰橱窗来隐藏…——嘿,听。 - Window dressing to hide... - Hey, listen.
锁好门窗。 Keep doors and windows locked.
警告维斯特伍德村的居民。 Warning to residents of Westwood village.
待在家里。 Stay inside your houses.

今晚早些时候在威尔希尔和塞普维达从一辆翻倒的货车里逃出来的狮子仍然在逃。 The lion which escaped from an overturned Van at Wilshire and sepulveda earlier this evening is still at large.
我再重复一遍: I repeat for the third time:
警告维斯特伍德村的居民。 Warning to residents of Westwood village.
待在家里。保持门窗…-把它关掉!-我以为我听到的是这个-九点的时候，只是我不确定——没关系。 Stay inside your houses. Keep doors and windows... - Turn that off! - That's what I thought I heard - at 9:00, only I wasn't sure. - Never mind.
离开这里。所有人，除了你和考特兰小姐。 Get out of here. All of you, except you and miss courtland.
回你们的房间去。 Go on to your rooms.
——嘿,贝尔泰利!——是的,中尉。 - Hey, bertelli! - Yes, lieutenant.
从警车里拿出半打防暴枪，分发给大家。——正确的。 Get a half a dozen riot guns out of the squad cars - and pass 'em around. - Right.
告诉大家睁大眼睛。 Tell everybody to keep their eyes peeled.
珍”。 Jean“.
-我很好。-你当然是。 - I'm all right. - Sure you are.
只有一件事。 There's just one thing.
他说的关于飞机的事是真的吗? Is it true what he said about the plane?
恐怕是这样的。他们在传动轴上发现了锉痕。 I'm afraid so. They found file marks on the propeller shaft.
-我想特里顿先生不知道这件事。-我想他一定有。 - I don't think Mr. Triton knew about it. - I think he must have.
艾略特，我相信他我希望……我希望他现在在这里。 Elliott, I believe in him. I wish... I wish he were here now.
恐怕不可能。 I'm afraid that's impossible.
现在，我们有大型猎人们外出狩猎。 Now, we got the big game hunters out on safari.
我把一切都搞得像鼓一样紧。 I got everything as tight as a drum.
如果今晚这里发生什么事，我不叫肖恩。 If anything happens around here tonight, my name ain't Shawn.
最好查一下时间。 Better check the time.
21分钟，如果对的话。 Twenty one minutes, if that's right.
有一个手表吗? Got a watch?
我算10点36分半。 I make it 10:36 and a half.
我的老萝卜通常很接近。 My old turnip's usually pretty close.
让我们确认。 Let's make sure.
请注意，时间是10:39分半。 At the tone, the time will be 10:39 and a half.
10点39分半。 Ten thirty nine and a half.
正确的。现在,它的官员。 Right. Now, it's official.
最好把灯熄掉。 Better douse some of these lights.
把自己当成目标是没有用的。 No use making targets out of ourselves.
当然，这是个晴朗的夜晚。 Sure it's a clear night out.
你可以看到一千个…我在说什么? You can see a thousand... What am I saying?
-叫威尔逊过来。——是的,先生。 - Send Wilson in here. - Yes, sir.
随你怎么把守我，但我告诉你，时间不多了。 Have me as heavily guarded as you wish, but I tell you, time is running out.
我很抱歉，但你没有拿出任何能让我们放你走的证据。 I'm sorry, but you produced nothing that would justify us in letting you go.
这是不可能的。 This can't be.
我看到自己在那所房子里，在同样的星星下。 I saw myself at the house, under the same stars.
你好。奎因吗?是的。 Hello. Quinn? Yes.
什么?等一下! What? Wait a minute!
不,不是现在。 No, not now.
阿莫斯·布洛克刚在牢房里自杀了。 Amos block just killed himself in his cell.
-你射过狮子吗?-我怎么能射到狮子? - You ever shoot a lion? - How could I have ever shot a lion?
-可以从灌木丛里溜出来。——灌木丛什么? - Could sneak out of the bushes. - What bushes?
我只是说它可以。 I was just saying it could.
它在韦斯特伍德的另一边失控了。 Look, it broke loose the other side of Westwood.
那里离这里有6英里远。 That's more than six miles from here.
为什么，它永远不会……-嘿，那是什么?-听起来像风。 Why, it could never... - Hey, what's that? - Sounds like wind.
那是什么? What's that?
-延命菊…——是的,先生? - Gowan... - Yes, sir?
-怎么了?有一棵树被刮倒了! - What's going on? - One of the trees blew down!
有一棵树被风刮倒了。 One of the trees blew down.
应该有法律禁止这样的事情。 There ought to be a law against things like that.

我过去一直认为她是在开玩笑，但现在我开始怀疑了。 I always used to think she was kidding, but now I'm beginning to wonder.
这种事没有科学依据，副队。 Well, there's no scientific proof of such things, lieutenant.
一些大型大学正在这个方向上进行实验，这意味着科学家们认为有可能…… Some of the big universities are making experiments in that direction, which means that scientists think there's a possibility...
不管你是谁，别进来! Whoever you are, stay out!
中尉，是关于狮子的事。 Hey, lieutenant, it's about the lion.
-怎么了?-我刚收到无线电信号。 - What about it? - I just got a flash over the radio.
警长办公室的几个人把他逼到退伍军人医院附近了。 A couple of guys from the sheriff's office cornered him out near the veterans hospital.
-发生了什么事?-他们把他毙了。 - What happened? - They plugged him.
——是吗?最好告诉孩子们。-马上就去，先生。 - Yeah? Better tell the boys. - Right away, sir.
兄弟，我心里就放心多了。 Brother, that's a load off my mind.
这是我们第一次像样的休息。 First decent break we've had.
让这一连串的事件看起来很诡异。 Kinda makes this chain of events look cockeyed.
——圣烟!打碎的花瓶。 - Holy smoke! - - The broken vase.
这是11点。 It's 11:00.
——延命菊。——是的,先生。 - Gowan. - Yes, sir.
这是结束了。 Well, that's over.

中尉! Lieutenant!
-你怎么来的?-我带他来的，副队。 - How'd you get here? - I brought him, lieutenant.
-考特兰小姐呢?——外。 - Where's miss courtland? - Outside.
你让她出去了? You let her go outside?

琼! Jean!
-亲爱的，你受伤了吗?-不，我没事。 - Darling, are you hurt? - No, I'm all right.
——卫先生!-珍…-我们已经搞定他了，考特兰小姐。-但不是他，是…——这是荒谬的。她疯了。-是你! - Mr. Triton! - Jean... - We took care of him, miss courtland. - But it wasn't him, it... - That's ridiculous. She's out of her mind. - It was you!
他不希望找到选项! He didn't want the options found!
-那是什么?-他不想找到其他选择。 - What was that? - He didn't want the options found.
-他不希望合并顺利进行-我不明白。 - He didn't want the merger to go through. - I don't get it.
期权后天就到期了，如果考特兰小姐没先找到的话。 The options were due to expire day after tomorrow, provided miss courtland didn't find them first.
——继续。-他想确保她不会。 - Go on. - He tried to make sure she didn't.
在这种情况下，他可以保留期权资金，并继续控制大量的中期石油权益。 In that case, he could keep the option money and still retain control of the vast mid-tide oil interests.
是的,可以。 Yeah, could be.
也可能是你篡改了考特兰先生的飞机。 And it could be you were the one who tampered with Mr. Courtland's plane.
骑他的市中心。 Ride him downtown.
他们两人串通一气。 The two of them were in cahoots.
我认为你错了。 I think you're wrong.
我想他为了救她献出了自己的生命。 I think he gave his life to save her.
整件事都是在演戏。 Aw, the whole thing was an act.
另外，考特兰小姐会像他预测的那样死了。 Othenrvise, miss courtland would be dead like he predicted.
他以为她是。 He thought she was.
他的幻想全都实现了。 His visions all came true.
时间，狮子，星星。 The time, the lion, the stars.
只是他们以他的死而告终。 Only they ended with his death.
他无法看透这一点。 He couldn't see past that.

这封信从他口袋里掉了出来。 This letter fell out of his pocket.
这是为你。 It's for you.
"亲爱的卡森，当你读这封信的时候" "我会躺在你脚下" "Dear Carson, as you read this, "I will be lying at your feet,"
“被左轮手枪打死” "killed by the revolver"
昨晚没开火。 that failed to fire last night.
“没有人应该受到责备。 "No one is to blame.
“我的死亡就像我在镜子里看到的其他事情一样确定无疑。” "My death was as certain as the other events I saw in my mirror."
你们中有些人刚见过我死，会怀疑我。 Some of you have just seen me die, will doubt me.
会相信这些事都是我一手策划的。 Will believe these events to have been contrived by me.
或者你可以称它们为一系列奇怪的巧合。 Or you may call them a series of weird coincidences.
但我知道你，卡森，还有其他一些人，不会轻易放弃的。 But I know that you, Carson, and some of the others, will not dismiss it so easily.
我自己奇怪的命运一定会让你思索片刻，一定会让你意识到，地球上还有很多东西还不为我们所知。 My own strange fate must make you ponder for a moment, must make you realize that there are things on earth still hidden from us.
秘密的事情……黑暗和神秘。 Secret things... Dark and mysterious.
