很久以前，在古代小亞細亞王國，
生活著一位蘇丹叫查卡汗
宣稱是偉大的成吉思汗的
直系後代
這只是宣稱，但做蘇丹
賦予他隨心所欲的權利
他的話就是法律
做蘇丹很爽
蘇丹的鎮國之寶
是全小亞細亞最美麗迷人的後宮
鎮宮之寶是一個明妃
她叫山魯佐德
她靠她的機智和美貌活了下來
我們故事開始時，
蘇丹已婚並且忙於戰爭
我準備好了，蘇丹大王，問吧
我必須從星象中瞭解到，
我是該放出軍隊搜索敵人
還是等待他的進攻？
蘇丹愛他的妻子
完全信任她
不幸的是，蘇丹妻子不知恩圖報
別撩了，還我蘑菇
跟我說！
蘇丹丑，你英俊
還有呢？
蘇丹是金針菇
我呢？
杏鮑菇！請進！
快把頭塞進來
那樣做我保證
你馬上會變成蘇丹
請進
蘇丹現在在哪？
和他的國師在一起
求你不要再撩了
跟我做愛
我尊貴的正宮娘娘下旨嗎？
對 Yes
那我奉旨綠君 Then I obey
我看見12天後太陽進入雙子宮 I see that the sun enters Gemini 12 days hence.
吉利嗎？ Is that good?
吉利，大王 That is good, my Lord.
兩天後滿月出現在中天 A full moon occurs in mid heavens two days later.
那也吉利嗎？ Is that also good?
不，大王，主凶 No my Lord, that is bad,
但火星在魔蠍宮逼近土星 but Mars is close to Saturn in Capricorn
大王，那主—— and that, my Lord, is--
什麼？ 吉 Yes? Good.
是交戰的好時候 The time is right for battle.
我沒問什麼時候時機成熟， I did not ask if the time is ripe,
我問我是該出擊尋敵 I asked if I should march out against the enemy
還是等待他的進攻 or wait for him to attack.
星象給出勝利的徵兆 The stars give signs of victory.
然而有件事讓我擔心 However there is something that worries me.
什麼事？ Yes?
行星，特別是木星和金星 The planets, especially Jupiter and Venus.
什麼意思？ What does that mean?
因為木星跟金星的關係， Because of the position of Jupiter to Venus,
火星在下降 the planet Mars is in decline.
不吉利 That is bad.
不，我的蘇丹大王，吉利， No my Lord Sultan, that is good,
但然後，木星移到天平宮 but then, Jupiter moves into Libra.
凶嗎？ Which is bad?
不 No.
吉嗎？ Which is good?
不 No.
那是什麼？ Then what?
我真的不知道，大王 Well I don't really know, my Lord,
我看不出更多星象了 I cannot read the stars further than that.
謝謝你，大占星家，你幫了很大忙 Thank you, Chief Astrologer, you've been a big help.
薩貢將軍在哪？ Where is General Sargon?
我必須跟神智健全的人討論 I must speak with someone who is sane.
將軍跟他的軍隊在營地，陛下 The general is at camp with his troops, Your Majesty.
我馬上就去 I'll leave at once.
不不，我親自去 No, no, I'll go myself.
我需要透透氣 I need some fresh air.
告訴正宮娘娘我走了 Tell the Sultana I'm gone.
她一回來就告訴，陛下 As soon as she returns, Your Majesty.
正宮娘娘早早起床外出騎馬 The Sultana rose early and is out for a ride.
在此同時，蘇丹疾馳向 Meanwhile, the Sultan was galloping
薩貢的營帳 towards Sargon's camp.
你喜歡驚喜嗎？ Do you like surprises?
是的，告訴我 Yes, tell me.
你確定？ You are sure?
是的，是什麼？ Yes, what is it?
我給你看 I'll show you.
他是禮物 He's a gift.
比你更大嗎？ Is he bigger than you?
更大？ Bigger?
自己看 Look, see for yourself.
蘇丹抵達薩貢的帳篷時， As the Sultan approached General Sargon's tent,
他停了一會， he stopped and for a moment,
他覺得聽到了正宮娘娘的聲音 he thought he heard the voice of the Sultana.
不可能 It was impossible.
然後他又聽到了 Then, he heard it again,
她特別的大呼小叫聲， and in a timber that was particular to her,
只在某個場合發出的聲音 only on certain occasions.
蘇丹的心沉了 The Sultan's heart sank.
他悄悄過去用匕首 Stealthfully he crept up and with his dagger,
在帳篷上劃了一個口子 he made a slit in the tent.
他鼓起勇氣往裡看 Gathering his courage, he looked inside.
比他想像的還糟 It was worse than he imagined.
他最信賴的盟友和他最寵愛的娘娘 His most trusted ally and his beloved Sultana
一起背叛他並謀劃推翻他 were uniting against him and plotting his overthrow.
蘇丹邊看邊聽 The Sultan watched and listened.
這樣他瞭解到他們的計劃 In this way, he learned their plans
做好準備，打敗了他們 and being ready, defeated them.
蘇丹用縱情聲色慶祝他的勝利 The Sultan celebrated his victory with lust and full joy.
他耿耿於懷他妻子的背叛 So long did he brood over the betrayal by his wife
他最後相信 that he eventually became persuaded
沒有女人可信賴 that no woman was to be trusted.
他決定每個晚上， He resolved that each night,
他要從後宮選一個女人 he would choose a girl from his harem
在跟她纏綿一夜後， and after passing one night with her,
她要在早晨被勒死 she would be strangled in the morning.
這樣他相信，定然防止 This, he believed, would be a sure cure
任何未來的不貞 against any future disloyalty.
每晚晚餐前， Every night before supper,
後宮總管將送上 the harem keeper would approach
裝滿麻將牌的籃子 with a basket filled with tiles.
每張牌上刻著一個女人名字 A girl's name was inscribed on each tile
選中誰，她的命運就注定了 and once picked, her fate was sealed.
今晚將是她在世的最後一晚 Tonight would be her last night on Earth.
今晚選誰， Who is your choice
我的蘇丹大王？ for tonight, my Lord Sultan?
山魯佐德，你被選中了 Scheherazade, you have been chosen.
山魯佐德知道會發生什麼 Scheherazade knew what was to come
向自己保證對於她，情況會不同 and promised herself that with her, it would be different.
她做好準備後，她定下計劃 As she was being prepared, she devised her plan
決心不在早晨死去 and resolved not to be dead in the morning.
她的計劃是燃起蘇丹的好奇 Her plan depended on arousing the Sultan's curiosity.
山魯佐德 Scheherazade.
你多大了，我的孩子？ How old are you, my child?
19歲，大王 19, my Lord.
可惜 It's a pity.
你怎麼來到我的後宮？ How did you come to my harem?
我是禮物，偉大的蘇丹 I was a gift, Great Sultan.
一個亞述人把我送給您以便安全通過 An Assyrian gave me to you in order to insure safe passage
他的商隊 for his caravans.
這亞述人真傻 The Assyrian was a fool.
你比那值錢多了 You're worth much more than that.
謝謝誇獎，我的大王 Thank you, my Lord Master.
按習俗你要給我娛樂 It's custom that you entertain.
你有才能嗎？ Do you have talent?
有人說我有 Some say I do.
你會跳舞嗎？ Do you dance?
不會，我的大王 No, my Lord Master.
你會唱歌嗎？ Do you sing?
不會，大王我既不會唱歌也不會跳舞 No my Lord, I can neither sing nor dance.
那會什麼？ Then what?
我講故事 I tell stories.
它是我唯一的才能 It is my only talent.
我在旅行中收集了故事 I've collected them in my travels.
若您恩准， With your permission,
我很樂意給您講個故事 it would give me great pleasure to tell you one.
我會減輕最後一夜的痛苦 I would be consoled on this final night.
嗯， Uh,
那麼說吧 then tell.
她為了努力活命， In her effort to stay alive,
山魯佐德開始講第一個故事 Scheherazade began her first story.
故事講一個貧窮不幸的漁夫 The tale concerned a poor and hapless fisherman
他住在色雷斯省，愛琴海邊 who lived in the Province of Thrace, near the Aegean Sea.
漁夫還倒霉的是 It was also the fisherman's misfortune
有個醜老婆 to have a wife who was a hag
肥如大象，醜如禿鷲 and as fat as an elephant and as ugly as a vulture.
不僅如此，她惡毒妒嫉 Not only that, but she was vicious and jealous
她允許他享有的唯一安寧 and the only peace she would allow him
是他去捕魚的時光 was when he went fishing.
每天去大海的路上， Each day, on the way to the sea,
他會經過一個貴婦的房子 he would pass the house of a noble woman
又不被察覺， and without being seen,
他發現他可以通過她的窗戶欣賞 he found that he could look into her window.
這是漁夫生活中唯一的快樂 This was the only joy in the fisherman's life
似乎只要看一眼她就夠了 and it seemed enough just to catch a glimpse of her.
然後，有一天命運插手 Then, there was one day when fate took a hand.
漁夫在欣賞的時候，他變得像這女人一樣興奮 As the fisherman watched, he became as excited as the woman
他整天捕魚的時候， and all day, while he fished,
他想著他看見的情景 he thought about what he had seen.
他相信這是好兆頭， He believed it was a good omen,
但他收網的時候， but when he drew in his nets,
他發現他一無所獲 he found that he had caught nothing
只撈上一個黃銅小瓶 except a small jar made of yellow copper.
他好奇地仔細檢查這瓶子， Curiously, he examined the jar on all sides,
搖晃，然後出於好奇打開 shook it and then to satisfy his curiosity, pried it open.
令他驚愕的是，濃煙開始從瓶中湧出 To his amazement, a thick smoke began to billow forth
出於恐懼， from the vessel and in fear,
他把瓶子扔在地上， he dropped the jar to the ground,
但煙霧繼續升起， but the smoke continued to rise,
變成模糊身影，模糊身影再變成實體 became a mist and the mist became a solid mass
顯形成一個大精靈 in the shape of a great genie.
精靈凶神惡煞問候漁夫 The genie regarded the fisherman with a fierce look
說「我滿足你三個願望來報答」 and said, "I will grant thee two wishes as a reward
「你放我自由」 "for having set me free,
「但然後，因為這是我的本性，」 "but then, because it is my nature,
「我肯定會殺了你」 "I will surely kill thee."
漁夫知道不可能 Now the fisherman knew that it was impossible
和精靈爭論，於是 to argue with a genie so instead,
他開始想第一個願望 he began to consider his first wish.
他說出後一眨眼， He said it and in the wink of an eye,
他被傳送到貴婦的臥室 he was transported to the noble woman's bed chamber
女人看起來在等著他 and the woman seemed to be expecting him.
你知道我會來嗎？ Did you know I was coming?
我今早看見了你 I saw you this morning.
你看見我了？ You saw me?
你覺得我為什麼做？ Why did you think I did it?
剛剛，我感覺你會回來 Just now, I had the feeling you'd be back.
我做的時候你做了嗎？ Did you do it while I did it?
做了 Yes.
你想要我再做嗎？ Do you want me to do it again?
漁夫繼續雄起 The fisherman continued with strength
他從不知道他有這實力 he never knew he had.
女人她叫特麗波莉， The woman, whose name was Triboli,
激勵他，並教授他如何舌戰，吻她哪裡 inspired him and she taught him how and where to kiss her.
再快 Faster
再猛 harder
再快 faster
再猛 harder
她甚至教他如何用絲繩 She even taught him the use of silk ropes
把她綁在椅子上，讓他能欣賞她的春色 and had him tie her to a chair so he could see what she looked like
她讓他進入她任何地方 And she let him enter her wherever he liked
然後他們做愛，一個姿勢接一個姿勢 Afterwards they made love first one way, then another
突然漁夫聽見隔壁房間傳來聲音 Suddenly the fisherman heard a noise coming from the next room
我女兒們來了，你想見她們嗎？ my daughters here, would you like to meet them?
我想 Yes I would
穿上這個在這裡等 Put this on and wait here.
我會帶她們來見你 I'll bring them to you.
女兒們，這是醫生 Girls, this is the doctor.
現在我想要你們好好表現，做他告訴你們的任何事 Now I want you to be good and do everything he tells you.
漁夫不敢相信 The fisherman couldn't believe
有這等好事 how well things were working out.
你們哪一個是姐姐？ Well which one of you is older?
我是 I am.
你們叫什麼名字？ What's your name?
我叫海倫娜 I'm Helena.
拉娜 Lana.
誰想先被檢查？ Who would like to be examined first?
她想。她想 She would. She does.
哦，我們必須決定 Oh, we must decide.
我有個辦法 I have an idea.
一隻手裡有粒藥丸，另一隻手空著 One hand has a pill, the other is empty.
挑 Pick.
這手 This one.
你贏了，脫衣服 You win, undress.
我們現在開始檢查 We will begin the examination now.
如果你想做我的助手 If you want to be my assistant
你必須學會正確檢查 you must learn to examine properly
用你的手指 Take your finger
摩擦這裡直到它變硬 and rub here until it becomes hard
這是檢查的唯一辦法 it's the only way to examine
你想上就上了她們 Take them if you like
她們滿十八歲了 They are over eighteen
漁夫盡情享福 The fisherman enjoyed himself to the fullest
直到終於精疲力盡，他閉上眼睛 until at last, exhausted, he closed his eyes
讓自己睡去 and let himself drift into sleep.
他再次睜開眼睛時，他回到了海灘 When he opened them again, he was back on the beach
精靈站在他對面 with the genie standing over him.
明天見，精靈說，他一跺腳 Tomorrow, the genie said, and he struck
地面裂開 his foot upon the ground which opened
把他吞入又合攏 and swallowed him up and closed behind him.
漁夫再次孤身在海灘上 The fisherman was once again alone on the beach
現在他必須考慮他第二個以及最終的願望 and now he had to think of his second and final wish.
告訴我是什麼 Tell me what it was.
請陛下允許， With Your Majesty's permission,
我不知道 I don't know.
如果您允許我有一下午來回憶， If you would allow me the afternoon to remember,
我可以明晚告訴您 I could tell you tomorrow night.
每天晚上， Each night,
山魯佐德給蘇丹講個新故事 Scheherazade told the Sultan a new story
每個故事她引出另一個故事的開頭 and each story she told led to the beginning of another.
她講故事總是在黎明結束 Her storytelling always ended at dawn
因為好奇想聽下一個故事 and curious to hear the next tale,
蘇丹一天又一天推遲她的死刑 the Sultan put off her execution from day to day.
她的想像力無窮無盡，她創造的 Her imagination was endless and her creations
經典人物包括阿拉丁， included the everlasting characters of Aladdin,
辛巴達和阿里巴巴和40大盜 Sinbad and Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.
於是阿里巴巴來到隱藏洞穴的岩石 And so Ali Baba came to the rock that hid the cave
說出咒語「香腸開門」 and he said the magic words, "Open, open salame."
不 No--
在寧靜的午後 In the quiet of the afternoon,
她創作出遙遠國度的魔力故事 she invented her tales of faraway places and magic events.
芝麻 Sesame.
我喜歡這個，芝麻開門 I like that, open sesame.
她的故事之一講述一個王子 One of her stories told of a prince
被贈予一件禮物，一匹純金馬 who was given as gift, a horse made of pure gold.
一下令，馬就會起來載著王子 On command, the horse would rise and carry the prince
以光速到任何地方 anywhere and at the speed of lightening.
接近黎明時，這馬終於 It was nearly dawn when the horse, at last,
降落到地面 descended on solid ground.
王子發現自己離家千里之遙 The prince found himself thousands of miles from home
身處一座宏偉宮殿的陽台上 and on the terrace of a magnificent palace,
在日本島 on the island of Nippon.
微光中 In the dim light,
他找到樓梯下到一個房間 he found a staircase which led down into an apartment.
他在門口聽 He listened at the door
然後小心進入房間 and then advanced cautiously into the room.
那裡他看見一個絕色美人 There, he saw a beauty so extraordinary
他一見便愛上了 that he fell in love at first sight.
女人還在睡覺 The woman was still asleep
情不自禁 and not able to restrain himself,
他脫掉衣服 he slipped off his clothes
溜上她的床 and slipped into bed with her.
年輕王子非常小心掀開被子 The young prince moved the covers aside ever so carefully.
他看見她的胴體時 And when he saw her naked,
他色心大動忍不住 he was so overwhelmed he could not stop himself
愛撫她 from caressing her.
半醒的女人假裝以為是在 The woman half woke and pretended the love making
跟她叫石堂的丈夫做愛 to be coming from her husband whose name was Ishido.
哦，石堂 Oh Ishido
石堂 Ishido
哦，糟了 Oh shit!
他逃脫了嗎？ Did he escape?
明天說 Tomorrow.
在為蘇丹所有之前 Before coming into the Sultan's possession,
山魯佐德被一個巨商擁有 Scheherazade had been owned by a merchant prince.
跟著他，她兩次橫跨世界 With him, she had crossed the world twice,
從中國到地中海 from China to the Mediterranean
精通語言和數學 and had learned languages and mathematics.
她在中國居住一段時間鑽研科學 She lived for a while in China where she studied sciences
然後在西藏她被傳授了 and then in Tibet where she was taught
卡馬秘術 the secret techniques of Kama,
印度的愛與歡喜神 the Hindu god of love and pleasure.
她記憶力極佳，她的故事 Her memory was perfect and her stories were
放飛幻想，細節融入親身經歷 flights of fantasy mixed with details of her experiences.
有時她的故事特別黃 Sometimes, when her tales were especially wicked,
她會利用蘇丹宮廷的女子 she would use girls from the Sultan's court
肉身解惑 to illustrate a point.
有三個姑娘是朋友 Three of the girls were friends
對彼此有著特別情愫 and had felt certain feelings for one another.
一天下午，她們獨處的時候 One afternoon, when they were alone,
她們吸食了只允許 they inhaled a substance that was allowed to be used
祭司獨自享用之物 by the priests alone.
什麼感覺很難解釋 What happened is difficult to explain
經歷許多階段 and went through many stages.
在一個階段 During one of these stages,
姑娘們感覺彼此熱血沸騰 the girls felt very warm towards each other
想肌膚相親 and wanted to touch.
首先行動的是塔瑪拉 The first to move was Tamara
把手伸進卡拉的上衣 who slid her hand inside Kala's blouse
撫摸起她的乳房 and touched her breasts.
她們都感覺如夢如幻 They all felt dream-like
看起來是慢動作 and seemed to move in a slowed motion.
塔瑪拉和卡拉開始親吻愛撫 Tamara and Kala began to kiss and caress
馬上，第三個感覺吃醋 and for an instant, the third felt jealous,
但然後卡拉轉而親吻她 but then Kala turned and kissed her
三個都倒在軟席上 and all three fell back onto the soft cushions.
她們停止三體開始合體 They ceased to be three bodies and became
用嘴用感官用舌頭用手指 all mouths and senses and tongues and fingers.
她們用手抱住彼此的頭，猶如捧杯 They held each others heads in their hands like cups
長吸彼此的唇 and took long drinks from each other's lips.
她們吻到吻變成一種折磨 They kissed until kissing became a torture
她們的手指總是找得到孔竅 Their fingers always found an opening
孔竅主人會接納它 and the owner would move to accept it
心甘情願 willingly
她們身體沒有被忽視的部分，全都逃不過吻 No parts of their bodies were ignored or escaped kissing
舌頭代替手指 Tongues replaced fingers
兩個玩弄一個 and two of them attacked one
彼此親吻，輪流被玩弄 kissing each other and taking turns at arousing their victims
她們給她的快樂如此美妙 The pleasure that they gave her was so exquisite
幾乎無法忍受 that it was almost impossible to bear
她尖叫為了有個盡頭 and she cried out for it to end
為了永遠沒有盡頭 and for it never to end
姑娘之一發現一個工具 One of the girls found an instrument
用在特別儀式上的 used in certain ceremonies
給它另一個好用途 and put it to another good use
三個姑娘如此迷失於彼此的身體 The three girls were so lost in each other
迷失於她們吸食的藥物 and in the drug they had inhaled,
她們沒有聽見神廟守衛歸來 that they did not hear the temple guards return.
姑娘們都被懲罰了 Each girls was punished.
之後這三個被驅逐 Afterwards, the three were banished.
第一個姑娘去了北方 The first girl went North,
第二個去了南方，第三個最年輕的 the second South and the third, who was the youngest,
順著商路旅行到西方 traveled West along the caravan routes.
請我的君主恩准 With my Monarch's permission,
第三個姑娘的冒險 the adventures of the third girl
成了另一個故事 form the body of another story.
山魯佐德把這個故事 Scheherazade saved the story
第三個最年輕的姑娘的故事留到最後 of the third and youngest girl for last.
她代之告訴蘇丹更多金馬的故事 Instead, she told the Sultan more about the horse
它能帶主人到任何地方 that was made of gold and able to carry its rider anywhere
以光速 and at the speed of light.
在那種速度下 At that speed,
王子不僅可以逆時間 the prince was not only carried backwards in time,
還可以順時間，他發現自己 but forwards as well and he found himself
在一個非常奇怪的地方 in a very strange place.
你穿成這樣幹什麼 What are you dressed up for?
我總是這樣穿 Well I always dress this way.
你是變態嗎 Are you a pervert?
不，我想不是 No, I don't think so.
太糟了 That's too bad.
那要十法郎 It'll be 10 franks then.
一法郎是什麼 What's a frank?
脫衣服我給你示範 Undress and I'll show you.
納妮特 Nannette!
羅伯特 Robert!
見鬼 Oh Shit
別又來了 Not again
一天晚上，山魯佐德親自演示她的故事 One night, Scheherazade demonstrated her story herself
蘇丹最喜歡這個故事 The sultan liked this story the best
完了嗎 Finish.
明天說 Tomorrow.
大約是因為漁夫的故事 Somewhere around the tales of the fisherman,
蘇丹完全失去了 the Sultan had lost all thought
結束山魯佐德生命的想法 of ending Scheherazade's life.
他事實上愛上了她 He had, in fact, fallen in love with her.
在一千零一夜 Now, on this thousandth and first night,
山魯佐德跟蘇丹講述了她最後的故事 Scheherazade told the Sultan her last story.
是關於第三個姑娘，她旅行到西方 It was about the third girl, the one who had traveled West
順著商路 along the caravan routes.
這姑娘當然是山魯佐德自己 This girl, of course, was Scheherazade herself
她跟蘇丹講她如何設法 and now she told the Sultan how she had managed
通過持續跟他講故事保住自己生命 to save her own life by continuing to tell him stories.
她講完後 When she finished,
蘇丹注視山魯佐德良久 the Sultan looked at Scheherazade for a long time,
微笑，然後問 smiled and then asked--
告訴我，那個山魯佐德到底跟 Tell me, exactly what were these stories
蘇丹講了什麼故事？ that Scheherazade told the Sultan?
我想全部聽到 I want to hear them all.
我應該開始嗎？ Should I begin?
開始吧。明天 Begin. Tomorrow.
山魯佐德和蘇丹大汗馬上結婚 山魯佐德成為新的正宮娘娘 他們的婚禮是小型的家庭婚禮
