拉斯维加斯（2005）（上）

As long as your body is in shape and you look good,
就能继续表演
you can hang,you can stay in the show.
我们有好多舞♥女♥
We've got a lot of dancers
都在30到40岁
that are,you know,in their 30s,40s.
我们主要的舞♥女♥刚不干
Our principal dancer just left last contract;
她有51岁了
she's 51 years old.
很酷 因为我喜欢它 很不错 在这生活很舒心
That's cool,because I like it; it's nice,easy living out here.
嗨！
Hi...
这个最大的产品是这个国家的本质
This is the largest production of its kind in the country...
不是世界的 我是这么认为的
if not the world,I think.
它代表了拉斯维加斯的所有的传统
It represents all classic Las Vegas--
巴利的整个主题是现实的 活生生的拉斯维加斯
that's Bally's whole theme is real,live Las Vegas.
这是一种‘传统 迷人的拉斯维加斯生活’
It's sort of "classic,glamorous Las Vegas lives."
知道吗 我就喜欢表演
You know,I just love the show.
我想它有点装模作样
I thought it was,you know,well,a little campy,
然而很快活 对吧？
but it's fun,you know?
是很好的表演 我想这...
It's a good show and I think that this is...
人们想来拉斯维加斯的理由
it has everything that people want when they come to Vegas.
这是他们所盼望的
You know,this is what they're expecting.
他们要雅俗共赏
They want feathers and the,you know,rhinestones and...
我们叫做‘山雀与凤♥凰♥’并举
"tits and glitz" we call it.
（ 乐声起 ）
( orchestra begins playing )
? If you're blue and you don't know where to go to ?
?Why don't you go where fashion sits... ?
?Puttin' on the Ritz. ?
???
?Strollin' down the avenue so happy ?
?All dressed up just like an English chappy ?
?Nippy, snippy ?
?Come, let's mix with Rockefellers ?
?Who walk with sticks or umber-ellas in their mitts... ?
?Puttin' on the Ritz. ?
( 掌声 )
( audience applauding )
我们在巴利表演6个小时
DANCER: We'll do,like,six hours at Bally's
而通常在Drai要表演9到10个小时
and usually about nine to ten hours,sometimes,at Drai's.
我睡觉可能就3到4个小时
I sleep for maybe three,four hours,
起床 又再来一遍
and get up and do it all again.
所以为了在最近两年里有好的角色
So for the better part of the last two years,
我每周都工作7天
I've been working seven days a week.
( 人们大声交谈 )
人们来这里是来狂欢的
And people come here and they come to party.
尤其是在下班后
Especially in the after hours
他们往往更放肆 更粗鲁 更苛求
they tend to get louder and ruder and more demanding.
( 叫喊 )
( hooting )
知道吗 我保持自己的节奏 但还是会被吸引过去的
I,you know,I keep my pace,but you're still absorbing it,
还是跟过去的
you're still taking it in,
还是会受影响的
you're still being affected by it.
酒保！
CUSTOMER; Bartender!
（ 嘈杂的音乐盒交谈声 ）
( loud music and conversations continue )
两份不同的工作肯定有着拉斯维加斯
It's definitely getting different extremes of Vegas
不同的激♥情♥
with the two different jobs.
最终我会释放掉的
Eventually I'll have to let go of it.
我感到很厌烦
It's kind of wearing me down a lot,
但是 现在我已经习惯了
but,you know,now I'm just hooked.
我一再追求着兜里要有钱
I'm just hooked on having money in my pocket again.
我在纽约也这么打拼过
I just struggled so much in New York
我就是不想再回到那里去了
that...I just don't want to go back to that.
你是否意识到
Do you realize what it would mean
有人在北面发现
if anybody in Northcomb found out
欧内斯特.拉夫先生 银行的总裁
that Mr.Ernest Raff,the president of the bank,
就是在拉斯维加斯？
was in Las Vegas?
我们的生活一直很富足
Our life has been rich and full.
你不想破坏我们的名誉
You don't want to ruin our reputation
而在那样的地方度过一个周末？
by spending a weekend in a place like that?
没有人知道的 除了我们
No one will know anything about it but us.
好 我会做你敢做的任何事情的
All right...I'll dare anything you dare.
那好 请
All right,get in.
请
There you are.
闪开
Slide over.
下一站 拉斯维加斯
Next stop,Las Vegas.
( 大笑 )
( laughing )
在战后的繁荣时期
THOMSON: In the prosperity of the postwar period,
那个想法开始在边缘蔓延
that notion begins to creep in around the edges
然后渗透到中♥央♥
and then begins to seep to the center
人们相互注视 称
where people look at each other and say,
也许我们可以找些乐子
"Maybe we could have some fun."
大家都说 啊 知道什么是乐子吗？
And,uh,everyone says,"Well,what do you mean by fun?"
? If you want to have fun in the sun out west ?
? Here's what we suggest: ?
? Meet... me... in... Las Vegas. ?
( 小号♥演奏 )
? Just take a tip and pack the grip ?
? And make the trip today ?
? Meet me where the people play... ?
? Play in the sun ?
? Meet me in Las Vegas... ?
拉斯维加斯招呼着大家
THOMSON: Las Vegas said to people,
听着 你可以来这里度过一个周末 来赌上一把吧
"Look,you could come here for a weekend,you can gamble.
把老婆撂在家里
"Leave your wife at home.
你明白我的意思了吧
"Do you understand what I mean by that?
我们会给你那么一点点乐趣
And we'll give you a little bit of fun."
? Just take a tip and pack the grip... ?
拉斯维加斯完全定位
COOPER: Las Vegas was perfectly positioned
利用战后消费热潮来赚钱
to cash in on the postwar consumerist prosperity boom.
我的意思是 想一想：
I mean,think about it:
50年代 全国高速路网的崛起
1950's,the rise of the national highway system,
驾车作为休闲
the emergence of motoring as a leisure activity
还有金钱
and money.
方便了找乐趣 方便了寻求放松
It's okay to have fun,it's okay to seek leisure,
方便了轻松的休假
it's okay to go on frivolous vacations
方便了出轨
and it's okay to push the edge.
?It's in Nevada... ?
( brass punctuating )
?Nevada, U...S...A... ?
( 歌♥曲结束 )
50年代中期 拉斯维加斯是美国人关注之地
NARRATOR: By the mid-1950s,Las Vegas was everywhere Americans looked.
随便翻开一本国家的主流杂♥志♥
A casual flip through any of the country's leading magazines
人们被一再提醒着
and one was reminded,yet again,
那个荒唐的沙漠之城曾经是个什么地方
that the wanton desert city was the place to be.
在这一点上 对于普通的游客来说
At this point,for the average tourist,
拉斯维加斯真的不只是一个城市 而是两个
Las Vegas was not really one city,but two.
坐落在弗里蒙特街的市中心 - 最近被称为‘灯光峡谷’-
Downtown on Fremont Street-- lately dubbed "Glitter Gulch"--
粗犷的 西部的感觉
the rugged,western feel
旧的边境居民点仍然普遍存在
of the old frontier outpost still prevailed
结合着马蹄铁那样的装饰风格
and joints like the Horseshoe set the tone.
拥有并经营的是本尼.比尼恩 他是个有罪的走私分子
Owned and operated by Benny Binion,a convicted bootlegger
他在家乡至少打死了两个人
who had killed at least two men back home in Texas,
马蹄铁是他在城里的唯一的场所
the Horseshoe was the only place in town
接受赌客在赌桌上的任何投♥注♥
that would accept any bet a player put on the table,
不管多大
no matter how high,
楼下为顾客提供免费的酒类
and the first to ply the clientele with free booze.
如果你想致富 比尼恩常说
"If you wanna get rich," Binion liked to say,
做小人物要有大人物的感觉
"make little people feel like big people."
那是个大名鼎鼎的
Here was a guy who was a bigger-than-life,
说话硬气的带枪的德州佬
a tough-talking,pistol-packing Texan.
然而他在这个城市里获得的伦理道德
But he instilled the ethic in this city
是客户至上
that the customer was number one.
那是老话了
It's a clich?
然而这个老话已经造就了
but it's the clich? that has built
美国游客量最大的地方
the most visited place in America.
然而这是91号♥高速公路在城市
NARRATOR: But it was the stretch of Highway 91
南部边缘的延伸段
on the southern edge of town
现在经常出现在脑海里
that now most often leapt to mind
只要美国人想起拉斯维加斯
when Americans thought of Las Vegas.
大家熟悉的‘长街‘
Known as "the Strip,"
迅速成为一位新闻记者笔下的
it was fast becoming what one journalist called
’奇异建筑的梦幻之地
"a Never-Neverland of exotic architecture,
‘华丽的符号♥ 狂热的娱乐
"flamboyant signery and frenetic diversion
处在尘世麦加的中心’
that is the heart of this unspiritual Mecca."
资金几乎全部来自黑帮
Bankrolled almost entirely by the mob,
新的长街的兴起凭借的是
new Strip resorts rose up out of the scrub
光彩夺目的有规律的低矮建筑群：
with dizzying regularity:
首先是‘撒哈拉’‘金沙’接着是‘新边疆’
First the Sahara and the Sands,then the New Frontier
