塔木德律书（2013）

唔，很抱歉告诉您，先生
Well, I'm sorry to tell you, sir,
有些不合时宜的事情发生了
but something seems to have happened that's a bit awkward.
加勒特先生昏倒了
Mr Garrett's had an attack.
你是说有什么东西。。。
You mean something...
什么人击倒了他？
someone has injured him?
噢，不，不，不是这样的
Oh, no, no, nothing like that.
他好像有点贫血
No, it seems he was taken poorly,
我们的人送他回家休息了
and sent home out the back.
明白了
I see.
那家伙体格不怎么样，老实说
Not a strong constitution,that young lad, I'd say.
那么，先生，您的书
Now, sir, as to your book,
要不请您自己去找一下吧？
perhaps you might be able to find it yourself?
我们也不想让你失望两次
We don't want you disappointed twice now, do we?
不，我还是等等吧
No, I think I'd rather wait.
我的老胳膊老腿呦
These old legs of mine, as I say.
那我。。。下次再约吧
I'll...I'll make other arrangements.
你觉得自己看到什么东西了？
You thought you saw something?
我确实看到了
I did see something.
说说吧
Go on.
还记得你提到的闻起来有灰尘味的东西吗？
That smell of dust,the one you mentioned?
嗯？
Yes?
那味道很浓。。。
It was very strong...
是你吸灰吸多了出现幻觉了吧？
Perhaps you got a lungful and it caused you to take a tumble?
不，不，我真看见了
No, no. It was something I saw.
不介意我吸烟吧？
You don't mind this?
不介意，妈妈说我太自恋了，我也不清楚
Oh, no. Mother says it's pretentious of me, but I don't know.
与众不同，你觉得是吗？
Gives one a certain distinction,don't you think?
就像斯图尔特·格兰杰之流（译者注：斯图尔特·格兰杰，英国演员）
Like Stewart Granger or someone.
抱歉，继续说吧，你看到的东西
Sorry. Go on, something you saw.
哦，抱歉
Oh, sorry.
您准备借走那本书吗？
Will you be taking out that book?
楼下有位先生非常渴望
It's just that there's a gentleman downstairs who's very keen
借走它。。。
to borrow...that...
- 光线迷乱了而已 - 不是的
- Trick of the light. - No.
灰尘，如我所说，进了你的肺使你出现幻觉了
The dust, as I say, got on your chest and gave you a funny turn.
不，乔治，我知道自己在说什么，那东西差点干掉我
No, George, I know what I say and it nearly did for me.
那么，你说那是什么？
So, what are you saying it was?
是鬼？
A ghost?
老烟鬼可没说过这里闹鬼啊
Never heard old Sniffer say the place was haunted.
我也没听他说过
Nor me.
我不是打击你，哥们。。。
I don't mean to seem uncharitable,chum...
但是你不相信我啊
But you don't believe me.
好吧，这种事没有再发生了，对吧？
Well. Things like that just don't happen any more, do they?
这说明你信了这一次了，不是吗？
Which suggests you believe that once, they did?
我们以前以为太阳绕着地球转
We used to think the sun moved around the Earth.
月亮上面有嫦娥吴刚兔子
And that the moon was made of green cheese.
也许吧
Maybe it is.
如果我是你，我会辞职，老弟
If I were you, I'd take the chance to get away for a while, old son.
换换工作环境，呼吸新鲜空气
Change of air always works wonders.
海边怎么样？
What about the seaside?
或者这个国家的其他地方？
Or somewhere in the country?
读读修真小说，比天天整理书籍爽多了吧
Read a few books, eh?Rather than just cataloguing them.
我有几本小黄书可以借给你看
I've a couple I could lend you.
骑兵步兵都有
Fully illustrated.
不了，谢谢
No, thanks.
想想吧，新鲜空气
Think about it - fresh air,
网红酒吧，漂亮美眉
nice pubs, pretty girls.
我走先
Toodle-oo.
因为这些天一直在路上，我还能回想起
Course it's all go, go, go these days. I can recall
坐着迷人悠闲的游览车去富姆比沙滩旅行
the charmingly, leisurely charabanc excursion to Formby beach
那真是寄蜉蝣于天地
when I was a slip of a thing
渺沧海之一粟
and quite a spread was laid on.
但有人就光在那吃鱼子酱了，是吧，泰利朗德先生？
But one was content with fish paste then, wasn't one, Mr Tallyround?
这些年轻人和他们的想法，蔓延了整个欧洲大♥陆♥
These young people and their ideas,traipsing all over the Continent.
我都get不到重点了
I don't see the point.
我意思是他们可以去莫克姆，或者莱瑟姆
I mean to say they could go to Morecombe, or Lytham,
那里物价也不贵啊
for prices such as that.
或者实在不行的话，我强推兰迪德诺
Or I dare say, at a push, Llandudno,
但这对我们没什么吸引力，是吧，泰利朗德先生？
but that wouldn't do for us,would it, Mr Tallyrond?
但是伯纳姆，风景迷人而有爱
But Burnham, now, charming and lovely scenery
物价又合理
and very, very reasonably priced.
您有住的地方吗？
Do you have anywhere to stay?
唉，还在流浪呢
Yes, I'm being met.
噢
Oooh.
伯纳姆站到了！伯纳姆站到了！
Burnham, Burnham!
噢，我们到了，拿箱子，泰利朗德先生
Oooh, here we are.Cases, Mr Tallyrond.
请出示车票
Tickets, please.
什么情况？
What is it?
噢，当然，我可真傻！噢，我把票放哪去了？
Ohhh, of course, oh, silly me! Oh,where have I put the dratted thing?
当然，平常时候我都是
Of course, in more refined days,one concealed
把它们放手套里的
the unused portion in one's glove.
这次没放还是放了？
I haven't, have I?
泰利朗德先生。。。
Mr Tallyrond...
请您快点，行吗？
Hurry, please, would you?
你拿了我的票根吗？
Do you have my ticket remnant?
抱歉，我身体不太舒服
Sorry, it's just that I'm not feeling very well.
- 很抱歉，真的 - 我身体不太舒服
- I'm very sorry, I'm sure. - It's just that I'm not quite myself.
- 那也没必要这么粗鲁啊 - 我没有
- Well, there's no need to be impertinent. - I wasn't.
彬彬有礼又不用花费什么，是吧泰利朗德先生？
Good manners cost nothing,do they, Mr Tallyrond?
我无意冒犯您
I didn't mean to offend you.
就像我说的那样，大家都在催，催，催
It's just as I was saying -everyone's in a hurry, hurry, hurry.
没文化，没素质
No refinement, no grace.
几天前我还被迫
Only the other day, I was forced to open a hotel door
用老大劲打开酒店自己的房♥门。。。
on my own volition...
不胜感激
I can't thank you enough.
你们真是好心人
You've been so kind to me.
医生怎么说，加勒特先生？
What did the doctor say, Mr Garrett?
没什么，只是工作太累了
Oh, just overwork, that's all.
神经太紧张了，我。。。我的脑子都迷糊了
Nervous strain,my...my memory's a bit foggy too.
我需要的是，足够的休息
Lots of rest, that's what I need.
这季节，我们房♥子比较空
Well, we're quite empty at this time of the season.
有人作伴可太好了
So it's very nice for us to have some company.
房♥间很可爱，辛普森太太
It's a lovely room, Mrs Simpson.
我感觉自己好幸福
I feel I'm in very good hands.
你做什么工作的？
What do you do for a living?
- 我在图书馆工作 - 噢
- I work in a library. - Oh.
编目，研究。。。这类的工作
Cataloguing, research...That sort of thing.
挣钱攒上大学的学费
Helps pay my way through university.
我们不太喜欢读书，是吧妈妈？
We're not so keen on books,are we, Mum?
噢，不，不，不，图书馆是个好地方
Oh, no, no, no.They're fine places, libraries.
很好
Fine.
是嘛。。。
But? Well...
也许他能帮我们解谜，你瞧，这有本书。。。
Perhaps he could solve our puzzle.You see, there's a book...
我们不要把自己的傻问题麻烦加勒特先生，安妮
We don't want to bother Mr Garrett with our silly problems, Anne.
不，不，我乐意至极，只要我力所能及，真的
No, no, I'd love to help,if I can. Really, I would.
如果是研究书本的话，那么。。。
And if it's to do with a book,well...
我是这方面的专家啊，不是吗？
I'm in a pretty good position,aren't I?
是的，我想也是
Yes, I suppose so.
但是我们连那可怜的书名都不知道
But we don't even know the name of the wretched thing.
唔，关于什么的？
Well. What's it about?
我们也不知道
We don't know that, either.
而且我们觉得那不是英语，对吧，妈妈？
Except that we don't think it's in English, do we, Mum?
别以为会有很多线索什么的
Don't suppose that's much of a clue.
我来告诉你这个故事吧
I'll tell you the story.
这是最好的方式了
That's the best way.
你看起来是个好人
You seem a kind soul.
我洗耳恭听！
I'm all ears!
时光倒溯二十年或更久之前
This is going back some 20 years or more, mind.
回到1930年代
Back in the '30s.
我有个老娘舅
I had an old uncle.
