我曾与一个僵尸生活了一段时间 I walked with a zombie.
听起来很奇怪吧 It does seem an odd thing to say.
要不是一年前有人告诉我 Had anyone said that to me a year ago...
我完全不知道 这辈子是否有机会了解僵尸是什么 I'm not at all sure I would have known what a zombie was.
现在我或许有概念了 I might have had some notion...
它们又奇怪又吓人 that they were strange and frightening...
甚至会有点有趣 even a little funny.
故事是这样的 It all began in such an ordinary way.
-您单身吗？ -是的 - You're single? - Yes.
-您是在哪里受训的？ -渥太华的纪念医院 - Where were you trained? - Memorial Hospital here in Ottawa.
那么，Connell女士 最后一个问题听起来或许有点奇怪 Now this last question is a little irregular, Miss Connell.
我不知道该如何开始提问 I really don't know quite how to begin.
你相信巫术吗？ Do you believe in witchcraft?
这…… Well...
他们没教过这个 They didn't teach it at Memorial Hospital...
不过我当时就挺怀疑女主管的教学 but I had my suspicions about the Directress of Training.
至于这工作的薪水，还蛮高的 Now, as to salary, it's quite good.
-两百美元一个月 -那真是太好了 - $200 a month. - That is good.
不过我想进一步了解 But I'd like to know a little bit more about the case.
除了患者是Paul Holland先生的夫人这件事 I'm afraid I can't tell you much...
其他的恐怕我不能告诉你…… only that the patient is the wife of Mr. Paul Holland...
毕竟我们与Holland先生经常有生意往来 with whom we do considerable business.
-这是不是意味着我们得再见一次面？ -不，这是最后一次了 - That will mean another interview? - No, this is quite final.
Holland先生是位甘蔗种植园园主 You see, Mr. Holland is a sugar planter.
他住在西印度群岛的圣塞巴斯蒂安 He lives on Saint Sebastian in the West Indies.
西印度群岛？ The West Indies?
那儿不错啊，有好多棕榈树 That's not so bad, sit under a palm tree...
你可以去游泳、晒日光浴 go swimming, take sunbaths.
棕榈树…… Palm trees.
仿佛才过了没几天 我与Holland先生在安提瓜岛见面 It seemed only a few days before I met Mr. Holland in Antigua.
我们上了前往圣塞巴斯蒂安的船 We boarded the boat for Saint Sebastian.
这儿跟我想象中的一模一样 It was all just as I had imagined it.
我望着天空中闪烁的星星 I looked at those great glowing stars.
感受着吹拂我脸颊的暖风 I felt the warm wind on my cheek.
我深呼吸 我的内心告诉我： I breathed deep and every bit of me inside myself said:
“太美了” "How beautiful."
一点也不美 It's not beautiful!
你读出了我的心思，Holland先生 You read my thoughts, Mr. Holland.
读出初来乍到者的心思 是件很容易的事 It's easy enough to read the thoughts of a newcomer.
所有的东西看起来都很美 因为你不了解它们 Everything seems beautiful because you don't understand.
那些飞鱼…… Those flying fish...
它们并非在欢快中跳跃 而是在恐惧里逃窜 they are not leaping for joy. They're jumping in terror.
大鱼想吃掉它们 Bigger fish want to eat them.
那粼粼的水面…… That luminous water...
数百万小生命的死亡 铸就了它的光芒 it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies.
那是种腐败的光芒 The glitter of putrescence.
这儿没什么所谓的美丽 只有死亡与衰竭 There's no beauty here, only death and decay.
你是真的这样想的对吧 You can't really believe that.
所有美好事物都会在这里逝去，即使是星星 Everything good dies here, even the stars.
他就以这种方式闯入了我的思绪 这令我感到很奇怪 It was strange to have him break in on my thoughts that way.
他的声音带着些残忍与冷酷 There was cruelty and hardness in his voice.
不过他身上也有令我喜欢的地方 And yet something about him I liked.
那种正派与真诚…… Something clean and honest...
可他的话依然深深地伤害了我 but hurt, badly hurt.
霍兰德堡曾是座城堡 可现在不是了 Times gone, Fort Holland was a fort. And now, no longer.
Holland家族是这儿最古老的家族，女士 The Hollands was the most old family, miss.
他们把有色人种带到了这座岛…… They brought the colored folks to the island...
有色人种和Ti-Misery the colored folks and Ti-Misery.
Ti-Misery？那是什么？ Ti-Misery? What's that?
那是个人，女士 一个住在霍兰德堡花园里的老人 A man, miss. An old man who lives in the garden at Fort Holland.
他被箭插着 黑色的面孔上带着痛苦的神情 With arrows stuck in him and a sorrowful, weeping look on his black face.
他还活着吗？ Alive?
不，女士 他仍保持着他的本来样貌…… No, miss, he's just the same as he was in the beginning...
当时他在一艘大船的前头 on the front side of an enormous boat.
-你是指破浪神？ -也可以这样讲吧 And the enormous boat brought the long-ago fathers...
那艘船载着我们的祖先 - You mean a figurehead. - If you say, miss.
他们被关在甲板下面 and the long-ago mothers of us all, chained to the bottom of the boat.
但他们好歹把你们带到了个美丽的地方，不是吗？ They brought you to a beautiful place, didn't they?
如果你是这样认为的，那就是这样吧 If you say, miss. If you say.
霍兰德堡 Fort Holland.
从大门口看上去 它就像梦一样奇异 From the gate, it seemed strangely dreamlike.
花园有着自己的生命 The garden had life of its own.
我想走遍这座大房子的每一个角落 摸遍每一条缝隙 I was to know all the nooks and crannies of that great house...
看看在这会发生什么 然后去爱它们，或恨它们 to love them or hate them, according to what happened there.
在这房子里 我似乎听见了奇怪的忏悔声 In that house, I was to hear a strange confession...
从正常人的嘴唇里发出的 一种疯狂的忏悔声 a confession only madness could have wrung from the lips of a sane person.
而且在点着蜡烛的相同房间里…… And yet it was in the same room...
我按着自己的喜好探索了一遍 with the candles lit, that I made the discovery of my own love...
我由衷地感到快乐 knew happiness, deep through the heart.
这是我的房间 My room...
我还记得在这儿拆包行李、等待就餐时的喜悦 I still can remember my delight, unpacking, getting ready for dinner.
从始至终，我都在霍兰德堡的寂静之中漫步 Yet, all the while, I wondered at the stillness of Fort Holland.
不管是在花园的小路还是其他房间 一个人也没看到 The fact that I saw no one on the garden paths or in the rooms.
谁？ Yes?
-Connell女士，用餐时间到了 -噢，谢谢 - Miss Connell, it's dinner. - Thank you.
-你就是Connell女士吗？ -是的 - Miss Connell? - Yes.
我是Wesley Rand Paul让我向你介绍一下自己 I'm Wesley Rand. Paul wanted me to introduce myself.
看起来就餐的只有我们两个 It seems we're dining by ourselves, Miss Connell.
不过我想 反正等下我会把你介绍给大家 But I think I'll introduce you to everyone anyway.
这儿是主位 我同母异父的兄弟，同时也是霍兰德堡的主人Paul Holland坐这儿 Here in the master's chair, sits the master, my half-brother, Paul Holland.
相信你已经见过他了 But you've met him already.
是的，我们在船上见过了 Yes, on the boat.
角落里的那个位置是Rand夫人的 That chair in the corner is the particular property of Mrs. Rand...
她是我们两个的母亲 而且她比我们两个要好得多 mother to both of us and much too good for either of us...
作为住在同一屋檐下人，她有点太聪明了 too wise, in fact, to live under the same roof.
-她喜欢呆在村子里的诊所 -她是个医生吗？ - She prefers the village dispensary. - She's a doctor?
不，她只负责经营 No, she just runs the place.
不过她能够做任何事 她是位杰出的女人，你一定会喜欢她 She does everything else, though. An amazing woman. You'd like her.
我想我已经喜欢上她了 I like her already.
那是我的位置 而这个是美丽的Connell女士您的位置 That's my chair, and this is Miss Connell, who is beautiful.
谢谢 Thank you.
那儿又是谁坐的？ Who sits there?
我的嫂子 My brother's wife.
这儿可一点也不舒适 Here, this isn't cozy at all.
会令我看起来很孤僻 可我一点也不 Makes me seem aloof, and I'm anything but that.
但你是个美国人 But you are an American.
我之前在水牛城上学 Paul在英国 I went to school in Buffalo. Paul went to school in England.
怪不得你们的口音有点不一样 I wondered about your different accents.
你们的名字也让我感到困惑 Rand和Holland I'm still wondering about your names, Rand and Holland.
我们是同母异父的兄弟 We're half-brothers.
Paul是我妈妈的第一个孩子 Paul is Mother's first child.
当他父亲去世后，她跟我父亲Rand医生再婚了 他是个传教士 When his father died, she married my father, Dr. Rand, the missionary.
那是丛林鼓 The jungle drums, mysterious, eerie.
那是工鼓 从糖厂那边传来的 That's the work drum over at the sugar mill.
圣塞巴斯蒂安版的工厂汽笛 Saint Sebastian's version of the factory whistle.
倒糖浆的信号 It means that the sugar syrup is about ready to be poured.
噢，抱歉，我恐怕说太多了 I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me.
没关系 Of course.
能花那么多时间跟我聊天 你真是太好了 It was nice of you to spend this much time with me.
别担心，他们不会想念我的 这儿唯一重要的人是这儿的主人 Don't worry, I wasn't missed. The only important man around here is the owner.
-Holland先生？ -是的，令人敬畏的Paul - Mr. Holland? - Yes, the redoubtable Paul.
他拥有种植园，而我拥有魅力 你得注意到这点 He has the plantation, and I, as you must have noticed, have the charm.
我不晓得，昨晚他在船上跟我交谈了 我挺喜欢他的 I don't know. He spoke to me on the boat last night, and I liked him very much.
嗯，我们的Paul…… Yes, our Paul...
他坚强、安静又非常忧郁…… strong and silent and very sad...
简直是拜伦笔下的人物 quite the Byronic character.
或许我该培养下这些情操 Maybe I should cultivate it.
-或许你该去工厂了 -不着急 - Maybe you ought to go to the mill. - It'll wait.
我正要去工厂 I was just going to the mill.
-晚安，Connel女士 -晚安 - Good night, Miss Connell. - Good night.
-仆人们怎么样？ -挺好的，谢谢您 - Have the servants made you comfortable? - Yes, thank you.
看上去不错，Clement 我会拿给Holland夫人 Looks very nice, Clement. I'll take it to Mrs. Holland.
-让我来帮你把 -不用了，谢谢 - Can't I take it for you? - No, thank you.
很快地，明天你就该开始工作了 Tomorrow's soon enough for you to start work.
Holland夫人 Mrs. Holland.
Holland夫人？ Mrs. Holland?
Holland夫人 Mrs. Holland.
Holland夫人？ Mrs. Holland?
我不是故意要把你吵醒的, Holland夫人 I didn't mean to get you up, Mrs. Holland.
Holland夫人 Mrs. Holland.
Jessica！ Jessica!
把Holland夫人带回她的房间，Alma Take Mrs. Holland to her room, Alma.
来，Holland夫人，跟我来 Come, Miss Jessica. Come with Alma.
我听到一个女人在哭泣 I heard someone crying, a woman.
一个女人在哭泣？ 这儿没人在哭泣 A woman crying? There's been no crying here.
Paul先生，今晚确实有人在哭泣 Mr. Paul, yes, there was crying tonight.
是Alma 她姐姐生了 It was Alma, her sister was brought a-birthing.
谢谢你，Clement Thank you, Clement.
Clement，我得和Jessica夫人呆在一起 Clement, I'm going to stay with Miss Jessica...
以免那位护士小姐又到处乱逛 in case the nurse lady takes to roaming again.
要不是听到你的哭声，Betsy女士才不会被吓到 Don't you go crying anymore. That's what frightened Miss Betsy.
听到她在塔里大声叫喊我可更平静不下来 She didn't soothe me any, hollering around in the tower.
那女佣为什么要哭呢？ Why was the maid crying?
我不确定我是否能让你理解 I'm not sure I can make you understand.
你知道这是什么吗？ Do you know what this is?
-一个圣塞巴斯蒂安的雕像 -是的 - A figure of Saint Sebastian. - Yes.
它曾经是一艘奴隶船的破浪神 But it was once the figurehead of a slave ship.
我们的人就从那儿来…… That's where our people came from...
从奴隶制的苦痛中来 from the misery and pain of slavery.
时代更迭，他们体会到了生活的艰辛 For generations, they found life a burden.
这就是为什么他们仍然为孩子的降生而哭泣 这就是为什么他们在葬礼时举行婚礼 That's why they still weep when a child is born and make merry at a burial.
我告诉过你，Connell女士 这是个悲伤的地方 I've told you, Miss Connell, this is a sad place.
早上好，女士 Good morning, miss.
谢谢你把我叫醒 Thank you for waking me.
我并不想把你惊醒，女士 I didn't want to frighten you out of your sleep, miss.
于是我就摸了摸你的脚趾头 That's why I touched you farthest from your heart.
不用起来，女士 我为您带了早餐过来 Don't get up, miss. I brought your breakfast...
就像对待Jessica夫人那样 just like I do for Miss Jessica.
但我只是Jessica的护士，Alma 你不必对我那么好的 But I'm Miss Jessica's nurse, Alma. You don't have to do that for me.
我知道，女士，但我愿意 I know it, miss, but I like to do it.
我愿意照顾Jessica夫人，也愿意照顾您 I like to tend for Miss Jessica, and I want to tend for you.
您继续睡吧 我来帮您泡咖啡 You settle right back now, and I'll mix you your coffee.
谢谢你 Thank you.
Jessica夫人曾说 Miss Jessica used to say this is the only way...
将头靠在花边枕垫上 for a lady to break her fast...
是让一个女人在床上吃早餐的唯一方法 in bed, with a lacy cushion to bank her head on.
要是您见过以前的她就好了，Connell女士 If you'd only seen her, Miss Connell.
她可真漂亮 She looked so pretty.
她以前一定是个美人儿 She must have been beautiful.
后来发生了什么，Alma？ What happened to her, Alma?
她病了 慢慢失去了神志 She was very sick, and then she went mindless, miss.
我们看看能不能使她变好吧，Alma 你和我，咱们一起 We'll see if we can't make her well, Alma, you and I.
我做了力所能及的事 I do my best.
每天我都将她打扮得跟以前一样漂亮 Every day I dress her just as beautifully as if she was well.
就像打扮一个等身洋娃娃一样 It's just like dressing a great big doll.
这是什么？ What's this?
我叫它泡芙 但Jessica夫人总叫它奶油蛋卷 A puffup, I call it. But Miss Jessica always says brioche.
看上去是种可怕的食物 Looks like an awful lot of breakfast.
我不知道自己敢不敢吃 I don't know whether I'll be able to get away with it.
我在写给公司的信里说得很明白了 I made it clear in my letter to the company...
对于一位受到惊吓的女士来说 这儿并非久留之地 this is not a position for a frightened girl.
我没有受到惊吓 I am not a frightened girl.
经过昨晚的事之后 我可不信你没有受到惊吓 That's hard to believe after what happened last night.
Holland先生，如果我像你想象的那样胆小 If I were as timid as you seem to think, Mr. Holland...
当初我就不会到塔里去 I wouldn't have gone to the tower in the first place.
在塔里究竟发生了什么，Connell女士？ And what's so alarming about the tower, Miss Connell?
真的什么也没发生 Nothing really.
但确实是个可怕的地方，毕竟那儿太黑了 But you must admit it's an eerie sort of place, so dark.
你确定一个护士不会怕黑？ Surely, nurses aren't afraid of the dark?
当然不了 Of course not.
小时候我还怕黑 I used to be afraid of the dark when I was a child.
但我现在不怕了 But I'm not afraid anymore.
不过，坦白说 第一回见到我的病人那样确实有点震惊 Frankly, it was something of a shock to see my patient that way for the first time.
从没人告诉我Holland夫人有精神疾病 Nobody had told me Mrs. Holland was a mental case.
精神疾病？ A mental case?
-抱歉 -你为什么要这么说？ - I'm sorry. - Why should you be?
说我妻子有精神疾病？ My wife is a mental case.
Connell女士，请记住一点 Please remember that, Miss Connell...
迷信是会传染的 particularly when some of the foolish people on the island...
特别是当一些岛上的蠢货 start regaling you with local legends.
向你阐述当地的传说时 You'll find superstition a contagious thing.
有些人就靠这捞好处 Some people let it get the better of them.
-我不认为你会被骗 -不，我不会 - I don't think you will. - No.
走，我向你介绍Maxwell医生和你的病人 Come along. I'll introduce you to Dr. Maxwell and your patient.
您能来到这儿我不知该有多高兴，Connell女士 I can't tell you how glad I am to have you here, Miss Connell.
跟您一起工作一定会很愉快，Maxwell医生 I know I'll enjoy working with you, Doctor.
我对护士始终保有一颗敬重之心 但我又很怕护士 I have an enormous respect for nurses, but most of them scare me.
我总觉得她们会在我背后 一边翻着培训手册 I always feel them behind my back, looking at their training manuals...
一边数落我犯了多少错误 counting my mistakes.
我不会这样做的 I'll keep tabs on you.
她可真是个美丽的僵尸，不是吗？ She makes a beautiful zombie, doesn't she?
-太可惜了 -我认识Jessica，我们曾是朋友 - It's pitiful. - I knew Jessica. We were friends.
有时候对于陷入绝境的医生来说 Sometimes it's better for a doctor to laugh...
开怀大笑比拉长着脸要更好 than pull a long face when things are hopeless.
嗯，我知道 Yes, I know.
但我对僵尸并不了解 僵尸是什么？ But I don't know about zombies, Doctor. Just what is a zombie?
一种鬼怪、活死人 同时是种酒的名称 A ghost, a living dead. It's also a drink.
是的，我曾喝过一瓶 不过那东西可没有什么死亡的味道 Yes, I tried one once, but there wasn't anything dead about it.
我们现在有更严重的问题要解决，Connell女士 But we have a more serious problem to deal with, Miss Connell.
你想要更多地了解你的病人，不是吗？ You want to know about your patient, don't you?
是的 Please.
那我简单点说 I'll try to put it simply.
Holland夫人得了一种热病 Mrs. Holland had a tropical fever...
很严重的那种 very severe.
我们推测部分脊髓被烧伤 We might say that portions of the spinal cord were burned out by this fever.
结果如你所见 The result is what you see...
Jessica一点神志也没有 a woman without any willpower...
完全无法自行说话或活动 unable to speak or even act by herself.
只会遵循简单的指令 Though she will obey simple commands.
-她痛苦吗？ -我不知道 - Does she suffer? - I don't know.
我认为她成了一具无法被唤醒的行尸 I'd rather think of her as a sleepwalker who can never be awakened...
什么也感觉不到，什么也认知不了 feeling nothing, knowing nothing.
除了让她在生理上舒适点 我们几乎什么也做不了 There's very little we can do except keep her physically comfortable...
比如提供清淡的食物和些许运动 light diet, some exercise.
她不能被治好吗？ She can never be cured?
我从没听过这种病能被治好 I've never heard of a cure.
你能详细谈谈 在她的饮食与护理上我需要注意什么吗？ Could you give me some details of treatment and diet?
-关于这些我昨晚整理在了这张纸上 -谢谢你 - I prepared these for you last night. - Thank you.
每隔一两天我会过来看看你做得怎样 I'll drop by in a day or so to see how you are getting on.
你从不知道你的病患在白天是那么吓人吧？ You didn't find your patient so frightening in the daylight, did you?
Holland夫人以前肯定很美 Mrs. Holland must have been very beautiful.
很多人都觉得她很美 Many people thought her beautiful.
告诉我，Connell女士 你觉得自己美吗？ Tell me, Miss Connell, do you consider yourself pretty?
我不知道 大概是吧 I don't know. I suppose so.
有魅力呢？ And charming?
-我没想过那么多 -别这样 - I've never given it much thought. - Don't.
你这样说或许省事 You'll save yourself a great deal of trouble...
可别人会感到很不开心 and other people a great deal of unhappiness.
-Betsy，你要去哪？ -今天是我的休息日 - Betsy, where are you going? - It's my day off.
在圣塞巴斯蒂安的休息日里你又能做什么呢？ What in the world can you do with a day off in St. Sebastian?
我正在想呢 I was just beginning to wonder.
这儿没有商店、餐馆或其他的什么的吗？ Aren't there shops and restaurants and things here?
“其他的什么”会是你在这找到的 比饭店、餐馆更好的地方 "And things" is a better description of what you'll find.
我来带你参观这个城镇吧 I'd better come along and show you the town.
你不用工作吗？ Don't you have to work?
很巧，今天也是我的休息日 By a curious coincidence, it's my day off, too.
有人尊敬亚历山大 也有人崇拜赫拉克勒斯 Some talk of Alexander And some of Hercules
或是海克托尔，或是利山达 或是许多许多这样的英雄呢 Of Hector and Lysander And such great names as these
但是就是全世界的英雄里 也没有一个能和他比 But of all the world's great heroes There's none that
Ti-Joseph，再给我一杯 我得让这位女士再开心开心 Ti-Joseph, better bring me another. I have to keep the lady entertained.
让我开心一定是件艰难的事吧 你都已经喝六盎司朗姆酒了 Must be hard work entertaining me if it requires six ounces of rum.
-六盎司？ -这你就不懂了吧 - Six ounces? - Higher mathematics.
一杯两盎司 你喝了三杯，一共是六盎司 Two ounces to a drink. Three drinks, six ounces.
你怎么知道一杯有两盎司？ How did you know there were two ounces in a drink?
我是个护士，我经常观察人家倒东西 I'm a nurse. I always watch people when they pour something.
我观察了Ti-Joseph倒酒 于是得出一杯有两盎司的结论 I watched Ti-Joseph, and it was exactly two ounces.
从前有家人啊 There was a family
他们住在圣塞巴斯蒂安的一座岛上 他们住了好久好久 That lived on the isle of Saint Sebastian A long, long while
家族老大是个叫Holland的男人 The head of the family was a Holland man
他的弟弟 名叫Rand And the younger brother his name was Rand
啊~喔~ Ah, woe
我有跟你说过种植园里那头小骡的故事吗？ Listen, did I ever tell you the story about the little mule on the plantation?
等等，我想听下这首歌 Wait a minute, I want to listen.
这个叫Holland的男人啊 The Holland man, he kept in a tower
有个如花似玉的妻子 A wife as pretty as a big, white flower
她见到了Rand这人 她偷走了Rand的心 She saw the brother and she stole his heart
此后厄运便降临 And that's how the badness and the trouble start.
Ti-Malice，你把我的歌打断了 你想干嘛呢？ Ti-Malice, you tripped up my tongue. Why do you wish trouble me for?
既然你知道Rand先生在这儿 为什么事先不告诉我？ You saw Mr. Rand go in there. Why don't you tell me?
抱歉，我不唱了 Apologize, that's what I'll do.
为了让他高兴，我就委屈下自己吧 Creep in just like a little fox, and warm myself in his heart.
Wesley，如果事先知道，我不会听的…… I wouldn't have listened, Wesley, if I'd realized I...
-Rand先生，我来向您道歉 -没关系 - Mr. Rand, I've come to apologize. - All right.
这只是我在某个地方偶然听到的老歌 It's just an old song I picked up somewhere.
-我并不知道是谁写的 -够了，够了 - Don't know who did make it up. - All right, all right.
岛上的一些歌手喜欢说人是非 Some of these singers on this island, they'd tattletale on anybody.
相信我，如果我知道您和一位女士在这儿 我绝不会唱这首歌 Believe me, I never would sing that song if I'd known you were with a lady.
滚！ Get out of here!
别太往心里去，Wesley Don't let it bother you so, Wesley.
你也听到他唱的了 You heard what he sang.
惊讶吗？ Shocked?
-我倒宁愿没听到 -为什么？ - I just wish I hadn't heard. - Why?
所有人都知道这事，Paul也知道 Everybody else knows it, Paul saw to that.
有时候我觉得这整件事都是他计划好的…… Sometimes I think he planned the whole thing from the beginning...
只是为了看我出糗 just to watch me squirm.
听起来不像他 That doesn't sound like him.
那当然，他在你面前装得 就像一位品格高尚的丈夫，不是吗？ That's right, he's playing the noble husband for you, isn't he?
不久之后他会暴露本性的 That won't last long.
我想我们该走了 你愿意送我回去吗？ I think we'd better go now. Will you take me home?
很快他就会像对待Jessica那样对你了 One of these days he will start on you just like he did on her.
“你不觉得生活很美吗，Jessica？” "You think life's beautiful, don't you, Jessica?"
“你不觉得你很美吗，Jessica？” "You think you're beautiful, don't you, Jessica?"
他总用“美”来措辞 What he could do to that word "beautiful."
措辞是Paul最强大的武器 That's Paul's great weapon, words.
他用起它们就像其他人用起他们的拳头 He uses them like other men use their fist.
Wes，我们该回家了 Wes, it's time we started home.
妻子和弟弟想私奔 The wife and the brother, they want to go
Holland先生不肯 But the Holland man, he tell them no
妻子病倒了恶魔降临了 The wife fall down and the evil came
热病之火将她灵魂烧伤了 And it burned her mind in the fever flame
Wes，我们该回霍兰德堡了 Wes, we must get back to Fort Holland.
家族之耻，家族之悲 Shame and sorrow for the family
她眼神空洞，她开不了口 Her eyes are empty and she cannot talk
不过有个护士过来让她行走 And a nurse has come to make her walk
两兄弟孤孤零零 小护士年纪轻轻 The brothers are Ionely and the nurse is young
现在你也一定明白 我唱的歌意义所在 And now you must see that my song is sung
啊~喔~啊~咪~ Ah, woe, ah, me
家族之耻，家族之悲 Shame and sorrow for the family
啊~喔~啊~咪~ Ah, woe, ah, me
家族之耻，家族之悲 Shame and sorrow for the family
-我想你需要一点帮助 -恐怕是的 - I think you need some help. - I'm afraid so.
Ti-Joseph Ti-Joseph...
把Rand先生放回他马上 让那匹马回霍兰德堡去 get Mr. Rand onto his horse and start him toward the Fort.
但他现在骑不了马 But he's in no condition to ride.
我怀疑他连坐在马鞍上都做不到 I don't think he could even sit in the saddle.
别小看种植园主 Don't worry about a sugar planter.
只要给他一匹马他甚至能骑去参加自己的葬礼 Give him a horse, and he'll ride to his own funeral.
之前我就一直想去霍兰德堡拜访你了 I really intended going out to the Fort and meeting you long before this.
我是Rand夫人，Wesley的母亲 I'm Mrs. Rand, Wesley's mother.
Rand夫人…… Mrs. Rand...
请不要介意我们是以这种方式见面的 Now don't tell me you're sorry that I should meet you this way.
老实说因为帮Wesley善后而跟你见面其实令我有点高兴 I'm even a little glad that Wesley's difficulties brought us together.
相信我，他平时不是这样的 他只是…… Believe me, he doesn't do this often. It's...
不必多说，我知道Wesley是喝醉了才这样的 Nonsense. I know Wesley's been drinking too much lately.
对于霍兰德堡发生的事 我了解的比你想象的要多得多 I know a great deal more about what goes on at the Fort than you'd think.
我知道关于你的一切…… I know all about you...
你是个好女孩，有才干 that you're a nice girl, competent...
又对Jessica很好 and kind to Jessica.
霍兰德堡需要像你这样的女孩 The Fort needs a girl like you.
来吧，我带你回去 Come, I must get you back there.
我会跟你一起走回去 I'll walk back with you and stay the night.
-你的到来或许对我来说是件好事 -谢谢，Rand夫人 - The change will do me good. - Thanks, Mrs. Rand.
您跟Wesley说的一样好 I think you're every bit as nice as Wesley says you are.
他说我好？ 他也是个好男孩，Connell女士 So, he says I'm nice. He's a nice boy, too, Miss Connell...
他是个非常好的男孩 a very nice boy.
虽然我对他酗酒的习惯很担心 I'm worried about his drinking, though.
你一定能帮我个大忙 You could do me a great favor.
我很乐意 I'd love to.
以你对Paul的影响力 Use your influence with Paul.
让他把餐桌上的威士忌酒杯拿走 Ask him to take the whiskey decanter off the dinner table.
-我对Holland先生没有影响力 -你可以试试看 - I have no influence with Mr. Holland. - Try it.
你的能力远大于你所想的 You may have more than you think.
Bayard，这不是干旱 只是雨还没来 No, it's not a drought, Bayard. Rain's just a little late, that's all.
Holland先生，我见过干旱 I've seen the drought before, Mr. Holland.
甘蔗太干了 这样下去很危险 The cane is too dry, and it's dangerous that way.
-早上好 -早上好 - Good morning. - Good morning.
我听说了你昨天的不幸遭遇 I heard about your little misadventure yesterday. On your first day off, too.
-哪里，在一定程度上昨天还是过得挺不错的 -Wes一定非常开心 - I had a good time up to a point. - Wes can be very entertaining.
是的 不过，我在想…… Yes, he can. But I was wondering...
你能否把餐桌上的威士忌酒杯拿走？ you know, if you could leave the whiskey decanter off the table...
它一直放在那儿，Connell女士 It's always stood there, Miss Connell.
我还记得，当我祖父和父亲仍在世的时候 它就已经放在那儿了 I can remember it in my grandfather's time and my father's.
不过那对Wesley来说是种诱惑，虽然…… But it must be an added temptation to Wesley and...
你的弟弟还不是个酒鬼 though your brother is not an alcoholic yet, Mr. Holland...
作为一个护士，我能告诉你 这样下去他离酒鬼不远了 I can tell you, as a nurse, that it won't be long.
Connell女士，我雇你来是为了照顾我妻子 而不是我弟弟 Miss Connell, I engaged you to take care of my wife, not my brother.
恐怕那杯子还得放在那儿 I'm afraid the decanter will have to stay where it is.
他们走了 There they go.
Bayard说他要向Damballah求雨 Bayard told me they were going to ask Damballah for rain.
田地已经干得像沙漠了 The fields are as dry as dust.
求雨？怎么求？ But what is it, Mr. Holland?
他们把一种巨大的海螺贝壳做成喇叭 It's a big seashell, a conch.
在Houmfort吹响以呼唤神明 They make a sort of bugle out of it to call the faithful to the houmfort.
Houmfort和Damballah是什么？ But I don't know what a houmfort is or a Damballah.
Houmfort是巫毒教的寺庙 It's voodoo. The houmfort is the temple...
Damballah则是巫毒教的一个神明 大父神 and Damballah is one of the gods, the big papa god.
你似乎没有感到不安 You don't seem very disturbed by it.
我还以为人人都害怕巫毒教呢 I thought voodoo was something everyone was frightened of.
恐怕巫毒教不像你想的那样 I am afraid it's not very frightening.
他们不断地唱歌跳舞 They sing and dance and carry on.
据我所知，之后会有神明显灵 And then, as I understand it, one of the gods comes down...
附身于某个人身上说话 and speaks through one of the people.
出于某些原因，他们通常会挑个像今天这样的夜晚 For some reason, they always pick a night like this.
这暖风让我感到很紧张 This hot wind even sets me on edge.
Clement，你忘记摆那个酒杯了 Clement, you've forgotten the decanter.
Wes，我想或许从现在开始 我们该试着不把它摆在餐桌上了 I think from now on, Wes, we'll try serving dinner without it.
这有点奇怪 That's odd.
你为什么要这样做？ 给Connell女士留下好印象？ What are you trying to do, impress Miss Connell?
不喝威士忌你可以给Connell女士留下更好的印象 You would make a better impression without whiskey.
那真是谢谢你了 Thank you.
过去你也是如此体贴地关心我和Jessica间的事 You've always had such tender concern for me and for Jessica.
-够了，Wes -为什么？ - Let's drop it, Wes. - Why?
在女士前争吵是很失礼的行为 It isn't considered polite to quarrel before ladies.
我懂，那我们就绅士点吧 I see, let's be reserved and gentlemanly.
你就是这么绅士，这么彬彬有礼 和Jessica在一起的那晚 You were so reserved and gentlemanly, so polite, that night with Jessica.
-我记得…… -Wes！ - I remember... - Wes!
Connell女士…… Miss Connell...
我觉得让Clement把剩下的食物送到你的房间会好点 I think it will be better if I had Clement bring the rest of your dinner to your room.
我听到你在弹钢琴 I heard you playing.
我经常这么干 I often do.
我知道那天晚上你都经历了什么 I know what you went through tonight.
我不断想着你说的话…… I kept thinking of what you said...
你说一切美好的事物都在这儿逝去 that all good things died here violently.
你什么过来这里？ Why did you come in here?
我不知道 I don't know.
我想帮你 I wanted to help you.
可我又不知道怎么帮 And now that I'm here, I don't know how.
你已经帮到我了 You have helped me.
你得知道 我现在对于把你带到这儿感到很抱歉 I want you to know that I'm sorry I ever brought you here.
之前我以为护士都是冷酷没有人情味的 When I thought of a nurse, I thought of someone hard and impersonal.
我爱霍兰德堡 I love Fort Holland.
即使如你今晚所见到的 And what you saw tonight...
两兄弟针锋相对 two brothers set against each other...
还有一个被自己丈夫逼疯的女人 and a woman driven mad by her own husband...
你也爱这些吗？ do you love that?
你并没有把她逼疯 You didn't drive her mad.
在Jessica生病前 我做了件糟糕的事 Before Jessica was taken ill, there was a scene...
一件非常糟糕的事 an ugly scene.
我告诉她她不能走…… I told her she couldn't go...
如果有必要的话，我会用暴力迫使她留下 that I'd keep her here by force, if necessary.
你根本不知道Jessica以前是什么样 You never knew Jessica as she was.
我想对我们所有人来说 最好的方法是不要再提起这件事 I think it would be best for all of us not to discuss this again.
谢谢你 我知道你的本意是善良的 Thank you. I know you meant to be kind.
我不知道他们如何展现 对其他女人们的爱慕之心 I don't know how their own love is revealed to other women.
也许是靠在爱人的怀里 我不知道 Maybe in their sweetheart's arms, I don't know.
对我来说那天晚上…… To me it came that night...
Paul Holland把我从房间里推出去 after Paul Holland had almost thrust me from the room...
相当于把我从他的生活里推出去 certainly from his life.
我说我爱他 I said I love him.
虽然我这样说了 但我知道他还爱着他的妻子 Even as I said it, I knew he still loved his wife.
也正因为我爱他 我觉得我必须将他妻子治好 And then, because I loved him, I felt I had to restore her to him...
为了让他高兴起来 to make her what she'd been before...
我必须让Jessica恢复以前的样子 to make him happy.
你们所讲的都指向一个问题 All that you say comes to the same thing.
要我抉择我妻子的生死 You are asking me to pass a sentence of life or death on my wife.
Paul，低血糖休克疗法是种极端措施…… Insulin shock treatment is an extreme measure, Paul...
Connell在建议我的时候也有指出，不过…… as Miss Connell pointed out when she suggested it to me, but...
既然你承认低血糖休克疗法非常危险 为什么还要建议我使用它？ You admit that this is terribly dangerous. So why do you advise it?
我曾见过实行这种疗法后成功康复的病例 至少它是有希望的 I've worked with it. I've seen cures. It's at least a hope.
正是其危险性使治疗变得可行 It's the very danger itself, Paul, that makes the cure possible.
胰岛素能使人进入昏迷状态 Insulin produces a state of coma.
之后病人会因强烈的神经休克而苏醒过来 Then the patient is revived by a violent shock to the nerves.
这种休克可以杀人，也可以救人 That shock can kill, but it can also cure.
我不知该怎么办 I don't know.
这是个艰难的抉择 但你所需承担的只是技术责任 It's a hard decision to make, but yours is only a technical responsibility.
技术责任 真实责任 Technical responsibility. Real responsibility.
问题是，她会死掉还是活下来？ The question is, will she live or die?
你错了，Holland先生 这不是生与死的问题 You're wrong, Mr. Holland. It isn't a question of life or death.
你的妻子并没有活着 Your wife isn't living.
她身在一个没有任何快乐与意义的世界 She's in a world that's empty of joy or meaning.
而现在我们有让她复生的机会 We have a chance to give her life back to her.
-怎么样了？ -她还活着 - Well? - She's alive, that's all.
Betsy，别太往心里去 Don't take it so much to heart, Betsy.
这跟我想的不一样 I imagined it so differently.
我等了好几个小时 不断想象着Jessica能好转起来 I've been waiting for hours, trying to imagine Jessica well again.
而我却让你失望了 And I come bringing you nothing.
不，Betsy，你给了我慰藉 Instead, you come bringing me sympathy, Betsy...
别忘了，还有你那慷慨的心 and a generous heart. Don't forget that.
所以不要再说你让我失望了 Don't call that nothing.
多么悲伤又多么甜蜜的一幕啊 Very sad. Very sweet.
高尚的丈夫和高尚的护士相互安慰 The noble husband and the noble nurse comforting each other...
就因为病人还活着 because the patient still lives.
我也曾想象过，Paul I've been imagining, too, Paul...
我可以不必考虑自己的感受 only I didn't have to wonder how I'd feel.
我知道 I knew.
我不会爱上其他女人 I'm not in love with another woman.
抱歉，Betsy女士 我来拿吧 I'm sorry, Miss Betsy. I'll take it right away.
没关系，Alma 这是你姐姐的孩子吗？ That's all right, Alma. Is this your sister's baby?
是的，这是小Ti-Victor 这是我姐姐Melisse Yes, Miss Betsy. This is little Ti-Victor and my sister, Melisse.
幸亏我出来走走，Melisse 我之前就想见你了 I'm so glad I came out. I've been wanting to meet you, Melisse.
我也是，女士 More so, miss.
多可爱的孩子啊 He's a wonderful baby. He's beautiful, yes.
他看上你了 He's chosen you, miss.
Betsy女士，按照我们的说法 That's what we say, Miss Betsy, when a baby first goes visiting.
婴儿第一次对谁微笑，谁就会成为他的朋友 Those he smiles at will be his friends.
那真是我的荣幸 That makes me very proud.
这个给你，Ti-Victor Here, Ti-Victor.
这样你就不会忘记我这个朋友了 That's so you won't forget I'm your friend.
谢谢你，Betsy女士 Thanks, Miss Betsy.
看到大家那么开心真好 It's nice to see people so happy.
他们并非总是那么开心 They're not always happy, Miss Betsy.
我也是这样想的 I suppose not.
事情太糟糕时没有谁能帮得上忙 甚至是Maxwell医生 Things so bad nobody can help, not even Dr. Maxwell.
医生护士亦凡人，Alma Doctors and nurses can do only so much, Alma.
他们不是万能的 They can't cure everything.
那样的医生当然不是万能的 Doctors that are people can't cure everything.
“那样的医生”是什么意思？ What do you mean "doctors that are people"?
那儿有其他的医生 There are other doctors. Yes, other doctors.
更好的医生 Better doctors.
-哪里？ -在Houmfort - Where? - At the houmfort.
这太荒谬了，Alma That's nonsense, Alma.
再棘手的问题他们也能解决，Betsy女士 They even cure nonsense, Miss Betsy.
Rose曾经也神志不清 Mama Rose was mindless.
我在Houmfort亲眼看着Houngan显灵把她治好的 I was at the houmfort when the houngan brought her mind back.
-Rose的症状跟Holland夫人一样吗？ -不 - Was Mama Rose like Mrs. Holland? - No.
她神志不清 但却不像Jessica小姐那样 She was mindless but not like Miss Jessica.
不过Houngan把她治好了 But the houngan cured her.
你是想说巫毒术能治好Holland夫人吗？ Are you trying to tell me that the voodoo priest could cure Mrs. Holland?
是的，我就是这个意思 Yes, Miss Betsy, I mean that.
Houngan会对着Rada鼓说话 The houngan will speak to the rada drums...
鼓再传达给Legba和Damballah and the drums will speak to Legba and Damballah.
他们就是更好的医生 Better doctors.
Ti-Peter，脚踏巫毒和基督两条船 Ti-Peter, how do you ever expect to get to heaven with one foot...
你是上不了天堂的 in the voodoo houmfort and the other in the church?
好了，走吧 Get along with you.
Some of this native nonsense. Some of this native nonsense.
巫毒牧师有他们的药方 不过我和Maxwell医生也有我们自己的 The houngan has his prescription, and Dr. Maxwell and I have ours.
你从没说过关于巫毒教的事，Rand夫人 You never talked about voodoo before, Mrs. Rand.
是吗？不过没说过也正常 Haven't I? I suppose I take it for granted.
-那不过是这儿日常生活的一小小部分 -你不相信巫毒术吗？ - It's just part of everyday life here. - You don't believe in it?
传教士的寡妇什么的，你信吗？ A missionary's widow? Isn't very likely, is it?
我不是指将它作为一种信仰 I don't mean believe in it like believing in a religion.
我的意思是，你是否相信它真的有那种力量 I mean, do you believe it has power?
能够把一个病人治好？ Do you think it could cure a sick person?
老实说，亲爱的 我们不能指望靠这种东西办成任何事 Frankly, my dear, I didn't expect anything like that...
特别是像你这种明智的女孩 from a nice levelheaded girl like you.
你想说什么？ What are you driving at?
我听到仆人说Mama Rose的事 I heard the servants talking about Mama Rose.
他们说她曾经神志不清 They said she'd been mindless.
她儿子被溺死了 Her son drowned. It affected her mind.
巫毒牧师通过施法把她治好了 The houngan cured her by giving her a little practical psychology.
不如我带Jessica去让他看看怎么样？ What if I took Jessica to see him?
你根本就不了解那个牧师 You don't know what goes on at the houmfort.
带她去那儿可能会对她造成危险 It might be very dangerous to take her there...
也会对你造成危险 dangerous for both of you.
那些人跟原始人没两样 These people are primitive.
对于他们来说家常便饭的事 说不定会吓到你 Things that are natural to them might shock and horrify you.
-我可不是那种会轻易被吓到的人 -是吗，真可惜 - I'm not easily frightened. - That may be the pity of it.
Alma，我要去见那位牧师 I'm going to the houmfort, Alma.
从工厂出发往右走 到甘蔗林中你能看到一个奥比巫术的标志 You go right from the mill to an obeah sign in the cane.
往山上看去有一棵菩提树 Here you turn and face a banyan tree on the hill.
朝着那棵树不断走 Walk toward it and keep walking. Keep walking, Miss Betsy...
然后你会来到一个十字路口 and you'll come to the crossroads.
有个叫Carrefour的守卫看管着哪里 There's a guard there, Carrefour. He keeps the crossroads.
不过带着这块布他就会让你过去 But he won't do you no harm when he sees the voodoo patches.
不会把你怎样 He'll let you pass.
我的子民们在哪？ Where are my people?
让他们给我带来年糕吧 让他们快乐地跳舞吧 Let them bring me the rice cakes. Let them dance and be happy.
Damballah，这个女人病了 Damballah, this woman is ill.
Rand夫人 Mrs. Rand.
我知道你会来 I knew you'd come.
有些话我必须在这里跟你说 I couldn't let you go back without some word.
我再重申一遍，没人能治好Jessica I came here to tell you again Jessica cannot be cured.
可是你在这儿干嘛？ But what are you doing here?
我丈夫刚去世那时 我感到很无助 ...and when my husband died, I was helpless.
他们都不听我的话 They disobeyed me.
不过在机缘巧合下 我懂得了如何对付他们 And, accidentally, I discovered the secret of how to deal with them.
曾经有个带着小孩的女人 There was a woman with a baby.
我一次又一次地叫她烧水 但她始终不肯 Again and again, I begged her to boil the drinking water. She wouldn't.
然后我跟她讲如果她去烧水了 Then I told her the god Shango...
神明Shango会净化水中的恶灵 would kill the evil spirits in the water if she boiled it.
从此之后她便不再拒绝烧水了 From then on, she boiled the water.
但这还是没能解释你为什么在这儿 But that still doesn't explain why you're here.
也许吧，反正我已经在这儿了 Perhaps not, but I am here.
神明似乎很容易借由我显灵 It seems so simple to let the gods speak through me.
我早该知道成功没有捷径 I should have known there's no easy way to do good, Betsy.
-她不会流血 -僵尸 - She doesn't bleed. - Zombie.
她不会流血 She doesn't bleed.
带他回去，Betsy
照我说的做他们不会伤害你 Get her back to the Fort, Betsy. Do as I say. They won't hurt you.
别管她们，让她们走吧 Leave them alone. Let them go.
你去哪了？Connell女士 Where have you been, Miss Connell?
-我想帮你 -帮我？怎么帮？ - I wanted to help you. - Help me? How?
我带Holland夫人去巫毒牧师那儿了 I took Mrs. Holland to the houmfort.
我觉得他们可能有办法治好她 I thought they might cure her.
你为什么要冒风险到这种地步？ There's no telling what you may have started with this insanity.
就因为你想让我妻子回到我身边？ Because you wanted to give my wife back to me?
这对你来说有什么意义吗？ Why should that mean so much to you?
你知道答案的 You know why.
在你弹琴的那晚上你就知道答案了 You saw it the other night at the piano.
我至今不敢相信那晚上的事，Betsy What I saw the other night I could hardly believe, Betsy.
我以为站在我面前的是一个同情我的女人 I thought I was looking at a woman who had compassion for me...
是一个爱我的女人 who loved me.
而你，一个怕黑的护士 And yet you made that trip to the houmfort...
却去找巫师帮忙 to bring Jessica back to me.
努力让Jessica回到我的怀抱 You, the nurse who's afraid of the dark.
嗯 Yes.
你认为我爱Jessica，我渴望她回来 You think I love Jessica and want her back.
如此正派确实像你的作风 It's like you to think that, clean, decent thinking.
也因为你的缘故 I wish it were true...
我现在倒愿发生的这一切是真的了 perhaps for your sake.
别不理我啊马儿 Mind me now, horse.
离那儿远点 Come away from there.
你能更固执点吗 Are you ever stubborn.
简直就跟Houmfort的佩剑老男人没两样 Just like that old Sabreur man at the houmfort...
总是照着自己的意思办事 sticking your nose in places where it isn't wanted...
只会给别人添麻烦 making trouble for everybody.
Alma Alma.
你可以试试看这样 You try it this way.
牵它的时候背对着它 Turn your back on him.
看吧，这就是待马之道 You see, that's the way it is with a horse.
你不能一边看它一边牵着它走 You can't look at him and lead him at the same time.
这样一说它跟人可有几分相像呢 Sounds sort of manlike, doesn't it?
-这是谁的马？ -警察的 - Whose horse? - The police horse.
这座岛上还有警察？ Police? I didn't know there was a policeman on the island.
这座岛上的警察就是这匹马，Betsy女士 Just this horse, Miss Betsy.
当他们问行政官这儿是否需要警察时 When they asked the Commissioner if any policemen were wanted...
行政官说圣塞巴斯蒂安有他的马就足够了 he said my horse is all the police we need on Saint Sebastian.
行政官 Commissioner?
是的，Betsy女士 我想那儿可能出了点事 Yes, Miss Betsy. I expect there's some trouble...
而且照Rand先生的行为来看 可能不是件小事 not just little trouble, like Mr. Rand gets into...
因为当他喝了许多酒 就说明有大事发生了 when he's been drinking more than a little, but real big trouble.
你说会不会是因为 我把Holland夫人带到Houmfort去了？ You don't suppose it's because I took Mrs. Holland to the houmfort, do you?
他们谈话时从没大声到 能让我听到的地步，Betsy女士 They haven't been talking loud enough for me to hear, Miss Betsy.
我牵着这匹马在附近已经转悠了一个小时 But I've been holding this horse for coming on close to an hour.
他们居然还在讲 And they've been just talking and talking.
我感觉真的发生了些不好的事 I feel it's something very bad.
你继续遛马吧，Alma…… You do have a horse to hold, Alma...
我还得去跟Rand夫人喝茶，再见 and Mrs. Rand has asked me to have a cup of tea with her.
嘿，别乱动！ Horse, you stand still.
今晚你要呆在Jessica身边吗，Betsy？ You're staying here with Jessica tonight, Betsy?
-Rand夫人觉得这样做比较好 -也是 - Mrs. Rand thought it might be best. - She's right.
我为你带来了太多麻烦，Paul I've caused you so much trouble, Paul.
不，有些事迟早会来的 No, it was bound to come.
实际上我来这儿也是想和你谈谈 As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here. I want to talk to you.
或者你忙完这儿的事到花园来一下 Perhaps when you're finished in here, you'd come into the garden.
是下午的那件事吗？ 我在这儿看到行政官了 Is it about this afternoon? I saw the Commissioner here.
Jeffries吗？是的，下午他在这 还有Maxwell Jeffries? Yes, he was here. He and Maxwell.
他们都为这事感到很头疼 They're in a great stew about it.
Houmfort那些人不停打鼓和跳舞 Seems those people up at the houmfort...
除非我们把Jessica送回去完成仪式 won't stop drumming and dancing till they've gotten Jessica back...
否则他们似乎不肯善罢甘休 and finished their ritual tests, something of that sort.
为了Jessica的安全 Jeffries和Maxwell在考虑要不要 For her own safety, Jeffries and Maxwell want Jessica sent away to Saint Thomas...
把她送到圣托马斯的精神病院去 to the asylum.
-也许只能这样做了 -是啊 - It might be best. - Maybe.
但Wesley坚持要她留在霍兰德堡 But Wesley insists she stay here.
可他没有这个权利But he hasn't the right. But he hasn't the right.
从法律上讲 他对Jessica确实没有任何权利 He hasn't any legal right, if that's what you mean.
但他说是我故意把Jessica逼疯的 But he says that I am responsible for Jessica's illness...
所以我该对Jessica的病负责 that I deliberately drove her insane.
并不是这样的，Paul You couldn't have done that, Paul.
我不知道 I don't know.
我想过很多次 可我还是不知道是不是我把她逼疯的 I've gone over it and over it, and I don't know.
Betsy，我希望你离开这儿 回加拿大去 I want you out of it. I want you to go back to Canada, Betsy.
为什么？ Why?
因为Jessica的原因 也因为我自己的原因 Because of Jessica. Because of myself.
我不想让你伤心难过 Because I don't want you to be made miserable and unhappy.
但我想呆在这儿 But I want to stay.
不，你得回加拿大 I'm afraid it's not what you want. I want you back in Canada.
是啊，作为我的老板 你有权解雇我 Naturally, as my employer, you have the right to dismiss me.
不要这样，Betsy 你知道我不是这个意思 Don't, Betsy. You know that isn't what I mean.
还记得我们第一次见面那晚上吗？ You remember the first night I saw you?
你被大海深深吸引 You were looking at the sea. You were enchanted.
而我觉得我应该破坏这美景 But I felt I had to destroy that enchantment...
让你看到大海残酷丑陋的一面 make you see ugliness and cruelty.
-你当时只是想提醒我 -不 - You were trying to warn me. - No.
我当时想要伤害你 I was trying to hurt you.
对Jessica也是 我不得不伤害她 It was the same way with Jessica. I had to hurt her.
不论她做什么说什么 都会受到我的抨击 Everything she did or said made me lash out at her.
这就是我希望你离开的原因 That's why I want you to go.
Betsy…… You see, Betsy...
你来这里后，我体会到了 since you've been here...
男女间关系的甜蜜 I've seen how fine and sweet things can be between a man and a woman...
以及爱情的可贵 how love can be calm and good.
比起拥有这样的感情 我更倾向于摧毁它 I'd rather not have that sort of love, than have it and destroy it.
你想让我离开你？ You want me to leave you?
所以我想要你离开这里 That's why I want you to go.
一旦我有了这样的顾忌 这儿就更不适合你呆下去了 It's no good for you to stay so long as I have this fear of myself.
Paul Paul.
你来这里干嘛？ What are you doing here?
滚出去！ Get out of here.
Carrefour！ Carrefour!
回去，Carrefour Carrefour, go back.
Paul，让他走 别动他 Paul, let him go. Don't touch him. Don't try to stop him.
我可以交代下一辆船把这送出去 I can send this off by the next boat.
如果你有信要寄 那可得抓紧 If you have any letters, you'd better get them ready...
不然包裹可就出岛了 to go with this parcel.
有什么事我可以回去再跟家人说 Any news I have can wait till I get home.
那不会太晚了吗？ It will be pretty stale by that time.
不会的，妈妈 Perhaps not, Mother.
Betsy要走了 Betsy is leaving us.
为什么？Betsy，我们不能没有你 Why, Betsy, we can't lose you.
我已经习惯你在身边了 我相信Paul也一定是这样 We've grown to depend on you. I have and I know Paul has.
妈妈，Betsy有她的理由 Mother, Betsy has her reasons.
希望你不会误以为我想抛弃你们 从而对我有不好的印象 I hope you won't feel I'm deserting you or think badly of me.
我怎么会对你有不好的印象呢 Think badly of you, Betsy?
Maxwell有坏消息要告诉我们 Dr. Maxwell has some unpleasant news for us.
-工厂里出什么事了吗？ -不，是关于Jessica的 - An accident at the mill? - No, it's about Jessica.
我们那天讨论的事结果已经出来了 A result of our discussion the other day, I'm afraid.
怎么样？What about her? What about her?
鉴于发生了这些事 包括Wesley说的话 In view of all the circumstances, some of the things Wesley's been saying...
还有昨晚有巫毒教的人 闯进霍兰德堡 and the fact that one of the voodoo people got into your house last night...
行政官已经决定展开调查了 the Commissioner has decided on a legal investigation.
意思是我要受审了？ In other words, I'm on trial.
Paul，我并没有这样说…… I wouldn't put it that way, Paul...
不过还有许多问题等待探讨 整件事已经失控了 but there's been a lot of talk. The whole thing's getting out of hand.
现在这座岛上的人有一半正在法庭里 A pretty scene, half the island crowding into the courtroom...
等着看我们的热闹 to watch our dirty linen get a public scrubbing.
等一下，Wes 我们得跟行政官谈一谈…… Wait a bit, Wes. Let's talk this over with the...
谈一谈？现在就谈！ 让我们来谈一谈你有多么不负责任吧 Talk it over! Talk now, Paul, and tell them that you're not responsible...
一直以来你究竟担当了多少 that every bit of this doesn't rest squarely on your shoulders.
如果可以的话 带我去见行政官吧 If you'll be good enough to take me to the Commissioner, Doctor.
没必要再做调查 I think there'll be no need of an investigation.
可是为什么，Rand夫人？ 你能跟他说什么？ But why, Mrs. Rand? What could you have to tell him?
Jessica没有病 Jessica is not insane.
请带我去见行政官吧 Please take me to the Commissioner.
我能对他解释一切 I can explain the whole thing to him.
妈妈，你想要说什么？ Mother, what are you trying to say?
Jessica已经死了 She is dead.
Rand夫人…… Now, Mrs. Rand.
她已经死了 She is dead...
肉体活着但灵魂已经死了 living and dead.
Rand夫人，你是想说 我的病人是个僵尸吗？ Mrs. Rand, you're not seriously trying to tell me that my patient is a zombie?
我很清醒 I'm not mad.
这是真的 It's true.
-是我干的 -妈妈 - I did it. - Mother.
让我解释，Wesley Wesley, let me explain.
一直以来我都想说清楚 现在我也必须说清楚了 I wanted to so often. Now I have to.
Betsy，告诉他们你在Houmfort看到了什么 Betsy, tell them about the houmfort, tell them what you saw there.
Betsy，你必须告诉他们 他们会相信你的 You must, Betsy, they'll have to believe you.
我在Houmfort看到了Rand夫人…… Mrs. Rand was at the houmfort...
但这没什么 but there's nothing wrong with that.
她已经在那儿好多年了…… She's gone there for years...
一直在想办法照顾那儿的人 并帮助他们 trying to take care of those people, to help them.
我想我懂了 I think I understand.
有时候为了让病人吃药 我也会用一些巫毒邪说来唬他们 I've often talked a little voodoo to get medicine down a patient's throat.
不只是这样，医生 我介入到他们的仪式中去了 But it was more than that, Doctor. I entered into their ceremonies.
我假装是他们所信仰的神的使者 I pretended I was possessed by their gods.
而我对Jessica下手…… But what I did to Jessica...
是在她要跟Wesley私奔的时候 It was when she wanted to go away with Wesley.
那天晚上我到Houmfort去了 That night, I went to the houmfort.
我脑海中不断浮现她的笑容 她实在太漂亮了 I kept seeing her face smiling because she was beautiful enough...
漂亮到足以令我的家庭四分五裂 to take my family in her hands and tear it apart.
鼓声、咒语还有火光在我身边萦绕 The drums, the chanting, the lights.
在寂静中我突然听到了一个声音 I heard a voice speaking in the sudden silence...
那是我的声音 my voice.
我告诉巫师 I was speaking to the houngan.
神对我传达了旨意 I was possessed.
我告诉他 霍兰德堡的那个女人是邪恶的 I told him the woman at Fort Holland was evil...
并让他将她变成僵尸 and asked him to make her a zombie.
之后发生了什么？ Then what happened?
我恨我自己 I hated myself.
在回家路上 我不断对自己这样说 On the way home, I said over and over again...
没有人会变成那样 there were no such people...
这种奇怪的药不存在 no strange drugs...
-Jessica不可能变成僵尸 -你说的没错 - there was no such thing as a zombie. - You were right.
我这样说 并说服了自己 I said it, and I made myself believe it.
可当我回到这儿 看到Jessica正饱受折磨 But when I got here, Jessica was raging with fever.
她确实正饱受折磨 She was raging with fever.
她被一种名字很长的热病所折磨 并留下了后遗症 A fever with a long Latin name and a bad reputation for its aftereffects...
那是某种精神错乱的表现 usually some form of insanity.
Maxwell说得对，妈妈 Dr. Maxwell is right, Mother.
你被自己的想象给迷惑了，Rand夫人 You were tricked by your own imagination, Mrs. Rand.
但我并不是个富有想象力的女人 But I am not an imaginative or fanciful woman, Doctor.
据我所知 As I understand it...
不管是下毒还是施咒 in order to turn a person into a zombie...
要想将一个人变成僵尸 whether by poison or hocus-pocus...
你首先得杀了他 you must first kill that person.
对吧？ Is that right?
