托尔金

但我不能直接信步走进语言学系
But I can't just breeze into the philology department.
有何不可
Why not?
首先因为我没有奖学金
Because I don't have a scholarship, for a start.
所以你是在跟我说语言学系
So, are you telling me that the philology department
不颁发奖学金吗
don't give out scholarships?
是啊 而且对象正好是个语言天才
Yes, for someone who happens to be a genius with languages.

Professor!
-打扰一下 莱特教授 -怎么了

我一直在想橡树这个词
I've been thinking about the oak.
它的象征意义
The symbolism of it.
守护神之树 变化的预兆
The guardian tree, the harbinger of change.
多么奇妙 你是学林木栽培的学生吗
How fascinating. Are you a student of arboriculture?
不 我是人文学院的 但我想...
No. I'm studying Greats. But I would like...
因此我才拦住了你
That's why I stopped you,
我想换到你的班级学习语言学
I'd like to change to your class to study philology.
-到我的班级 -是的

是的 我叫托尔金 罗纳德·托尔金
Yes. I'm Tolkien. Ronald Tolkien.
我曾站在你的窗外 用一种蹩脚的芬兰语
I stood outside your window and shouted obscenities
大喊下流话
in a kind of bastardized Finnish.
你觉得那能构成推荐理由吗
And you consider that a recommendation?
我知道这不合常规
I know this is irregular,
但我发现了我真正的热情
but I've realized my true passion,
我这一辈子都在为之努力的事
the thing I've been working on my entire life...
我能坦白说吗 先生
Can I speak candidly, sir?
你想象不到我会有多欢迎你坦白
You cannot conceive how much I would welcome it.
我需要奖学金
I need a scholarship.
我需要奖学金来跟着你学习语言学
I need a scholarship to study philology. With you.
我愿意竭尽全力
And there are no lengths I wouldn't go to,
证明自己是一个配得上的学生
to prove that I'm a worthy candidate.
-竭尽全力 -是的
- No lengths? - Yes.
不行
No.
-不行 -不行
- No? - No.
不行 因为如果我让你安静工作
No, because if I left you alone to work in peace,
那我就无法拥有向你学习的荣幸
then I wouldn't get the privilege of learning from you,
那这整个 说实话相当骇人的插曲
and that would defeat the purpose of this entire,
它的目的就无法实现
frankly, quite terrifying, interlude.
-托尔金 -是 先生
- Tolkien. - Yes, sir.
-出自德语 -我想是的 先生
- German origin. - I think so, sir.
也许来自盎格鲁撒克逊语
From the Anglo-Saxon, perhaps.
-没错 -Tollkühn
- Exactly. - Tollkühn.
我想你不需要我
I'm assuming you don't need me
来为你翻译这个词
to translate that particular word for you.
是鲁莽的意思
Foolhardy.

Professor Wright...
我的班人满了 托尔金先生
My class is full, Mr. Tolkien.
满是翻译古英语的速度不比你慢
Full with students who can translate Old English,
并且至少和你同样熟练的学生

他们已经通过两个学期证明了自己
and they've already had two terms to establish themselves.

这两位兄弟集结了战士"Both of these brothers marshaled the warriors.
他们叮嘱亲爱的同族们
They bid their dear kinsman through words
让他们必须在紧要关头坚持不懈
that they had to endure there in time of need,
是托尔金为甘道夫和矮人起名的灵感来源
利用手中的武器 毫不动摇
make use of their weapons without weakening"

尽管我们的力量日渐衰弱
Courage must be the harder
但一定要勇气更加强大
heart the keener,
内心更加热切 意志更加坚定
spirits the greater, as our strength wanes.
这里躺着我们的主人 完全被切成块
Here lies our lord, entirely cut to pieces,
归于尘土的一位好人
a good man in the dirt."

直到战争结束
比不合礼仪更加糟糕
这是不爱国的行为
