边缘之舞（2013）

in a place that I could never have gone into, not in my wildest dreams!
那地方我以前从没进去过 做梦都没进去过
Never, ever, ever.
从来从来没有过
Three Welsh Rarebits!
三份乳酪面包片!
It's rarebits by the way,not rabbits, which is a piece of cheese on toast -
是乳酪面包 不是兔子 就是一块奶酪在烤面包上...
I know what Welsh Rarebits are, Carla.
我知道那是什么东西 Carla
D'you know why it's called that? I don't know that, no.
知道为什么起了这么个名字吗? 不知道
No, nor do I. I forgot to ask.
我也不知道 我忘了问一下
Well, that's the biggest difference,three Welsh Rarebits,one after another.
这就是最大的变化 三份乳酪面包 一片一片吃下去
And that's it? That's why Louis wanted me to talk to you?
就这样么? Louis就是想让你跟我说这个?
To hear about cheese on toast?
就只是奶酪和烤面包么?
I thought you wanted to talk to me?
我还以为是你要跟我聊的?
Yes, I do, of course. Go on.
对 我当然要 继续吧
Well, that's the biggest difference,
这就是最大的变化
that's what success has meant to me.
成功对我来说就意味着这些
What happens if it goes? Of course, I'm not saying that it will,
如果成功消失了会怎样? 当然我只是假设
but sometimes in showbusiness things don't go on for ever.
但有时候演艺界的事就是变换莫测
How difficult d'you think it would be to go back? Go back where?
回去的话会不会很困难? 回去哪里?
To your life before.
回去以前的生活
It would be easy.
不会困难的
Would it?
是么?
Yes, and I expect it will happen. One day.
对的 而且我希望如此 有朝一日
But before then, do you have a sort of dream where you may end up?
但在那之前 你有想实现的梦想么?
Your own West End show? Hah!
比如说在西区开你自己的演唱会 啊哈!
What does that mean, "Hah"?
那笑声是什么意思 "啊哈"?
Louis told me if you asked me that question
Louis跟我说如果你问了这个问题
I should tell you about the man in our street.

Louie's been coaching you how to answer my questions?

I should tell you about the man and the room.

Well, I think I would have anyway,because that's what I believe.
其实你不问 我也会讲的 因为我对此深有感触
In the street where I grew up...

Which was where? I'm not going to tell you that now, am I, Stanley?
在哪里? 我现在还不能告诉你 Stanley
Why ever not? Because it's private.

But it was in London? You can tell me that much.
那是在伦敦么? 这个总可以说吧
Yes, it was in London.

We didn't have much space. We didn't have very much space at all.
我家地方很小 空间小得可怜
There were six of us,my brothers and sisters and I,
我家有6个孩子 我的兄弟姐妹还有我
and we all slept in the same room.
我们都睡在一个房♥里
So a room of your own was a really special thing.
一人一间房♥对我们来说是件稀罕事
So one day across the street,a man arrives.
有一天 一个男人搬到了街对面
Mr Dunwoodie, he was called.
我们叫他Dunwoodie先生
He was from Scotland, although he didn't have a Scottish accent really.
他从苏格兰来 尽管他没有苏格兰口音
He was a short man, and he was so full of energy and life.
他个子不高 充满能量和生活气息
And every time he passed us on the street he'd say
每次我们在街上擦肩而过 他都会说
"Hello children, what a day it is today.
"孩子们好呀 今天天气真不错
A lovely day, a day for great ideas!"
美好的一天 伟大想法诞生的一天!"
So Mr Dunwoodie had two rooms of his own across the street, all to himself.
Dunwoodie的房♥子有两个房♥间 都是他自己的
And we soon found out
我们很快就发现了
that Mr Dunwoodie was working on this wonderful invention
Dunwoodie先生在做一件了不起的发明
that was going to make him his fortune,
这将给他带来财富
and he said he was going to show it to us as soon as it was ready,
他说一做好马上就拿给我们看
and that's why he needed the two rooms.
因为搞发明他需要两间房♥
So when we saw him on the street,we'd call out to him.
我们在街上一看到他 就会大声喊他
We'd ask him how it was going,if it was nearly ready yet.
问他发明怎么样了 是不是快好了
And he would always answer, "Nearly there, children, nearly there!"
他就回答说 '快好了 孩子们 马上就好了
But after a few months, we couldn't wait any longer.
但过了一阵子 我们实在等不下去了
You know what kids are like,
你知道小孩子是什么样的
we had to see this great invention.
我们一定要看到这件伟大发明
So we ran across the street and we knocked on the door.
我们就跑到街对面敲他家的门
"Can we come in?"And he shouted, "Go away, children!"
我们能进去吗? 然后他喊道 快走开 小屁孩们！
Well, we didn't go away.
我们没有离开
We tried the door handle,and it wasn't locked,
我们试了门下把手 门没锁
and the door flew open and in we went.
门滑开了 我们就进去了
And all over the floor were these bits of metal,
地面上全是小金属块
a terrible mess, little pieces and big pieces.
满地狼藉 小块的大块的
Everywhere you looked,there were pieces of scrap metal.
目力所及之处 到处都是金属碎料
And Mr Dunwoodie,he was screaming at us.
Dunwoodie先生对着我们尖叫
"Go away, you terrible children,go away right now!"
快走开 你们这些可恶的小鬼 马上滚开
And of course we ran away.
我们一溜烟的就跑了
And for days we didn't see Mr Dunwoodie.
接下来的几天我们都没看到他
And when he did come out into the street, he looked so different.
后来他从屋里出来 但看起来不一样了
Pale, and older looking.
面色苍白 老了很多
His face was so, so terribly sad.
他脸上写满了悲伤难过
And he never smiled at us again,not once.

A little while later,he went away, disappeared,
几天之后 他离开了 消失了
he took all of his bits of metal on an old cart.
他把那些金属碎块都装到一辆旧卡车上
But I learnt from that a big lesson.
我对此感触颇深
You can have a dream, but you must never describe that dream to anyone,
你可以拥有梦想 但你永远不要向别人描述它
or let them see too closely inside of it,
或者让别人近距离的触碰它
because one day they might burst through the door
因为某一天 人们可能破门而入
and you may have to see your dream through someone else's eyes,
这样你就不得不通过别人的眼睛看到自己的梦想
how it might seem to the world,
在世人的眼中的模样
and that can destroy it for ever.
这会彻底摧毁掉你的梦想
How strange. What's strange?
好怪 哪里怪了?
Well, that Louis should coach you like this, make you tell me some kind of a fable.
Louis竟然是这样教你的 让你给我讲这么个小寓言
It's not a fairy story, it happened.
这不是我自己编的 这是真事
I'm not saying it didn't happen,
我没说是假的
but I don't know who I'm meant to be in this story.
但我可不是故事里的小孩
I'm not going to try and destroy your dreams of success,
我怎么会毁掉你们追求成功的梦想呢
for goodness' sake,quite the opposite.
正好相反 我在帮你们
You know, I thought this was going to be easy, interviewing Louis and you.
我原本还以为 采访Louis和你不是什么难事呢
It's proving quite the bloody opposite.
现在看来 彻头彻尾的苦差
Well, I'm sorry I didn't give you the answer that you wanted.
嗯 抱歉这个答案没能让你满意
No, no. If you want to talk about things changing people,
不不 如果你想谈世事对人的改变
maybe you should talk to Jessie,of course.
你应该去找Jessie
D'you think she'll talk to me? We'll see.
你认为她会搭理我么? 等着瞧吧
If you could be gentle with her, and not get too impatient, Stanley.
如果你能绅士一点 别对她不耐烦 Stanly
But do you think you can do that?
你能做到么?
I always found Jessie unknowable,
我总觉得Jessie是个谜一样的女人
a mysterious little creature who seemed to have emerged into the world fully-formed without parents,brothers or sisters,
一个遗世独♥立♥又神秘的存在 无亲无故
or any past she would talk about.
对自己的过去也闭口不谈
Her tragic death has only deepened the mystery, of course.
她悲剧般的逝去让这个谜更加朦胧
But I knew, the morning I spoke to her,
但我知道 跟她交谈的那个上午
I had to try and relax her if she was going to open up to me and give me a lead.
我得尽力让她放松 令她向我敞开心扉 给我指引
So I encouraged her to bring some of her family out with her,
所以我建议她带来一些家当
and I tried to ask her as little as possible and be patient, something I find it very difficult to be.
要我尽量少提问保持耐心 对我来说简直是煎熬
The letters I get are such a mixture, such a strange mixture.
我收到的信件很杂 就是这样一种奇异的混杂
Everyday I wake up and think,"What surprise will there be today in the box?"
每天上上我醒来 都会好奇今天邮箱里会有什么惊喜?
I put them all, each new lot of letters, in this blue box -
我把它们每一封都放在这蓝盒子里
and then I go through them,without opening them,
然后大致看一遍 不拆开信封
just looking at the writing on the envelope,
只是看着信封上的笔迹
deciding which I'll open first,and which maybe I'll never open.
决定哪些要先打开 哪些永远都不要打开
A lot of them, of course, are saying nice things about me,
当然 很多信都是在赞扬我的
usually very nice, about how pretty my singing is
赞扬我的嗓音有多么婉转动听
and what a good dancer I am.
我的舞姿多么曼妙婀娜
I am a good dancer, I think.
我觉得我的舞跳得不错
Not many people have written about that, Stanley, you know. Hmm!
这点很多人都没注意到 你知道么 Stanly
Then of course, there are the letters which are simply disgusting,
当然 还有一些低级龌龊的信
about people thinking about me without my clothes on and that sort of thing.
就是他们幻想我赤身裸体 还有那类的事情
I wonder if Jack Paynton gets letters like that?
不知道Jack Paynton收没收到过这样的信?
I expect he does.
我觉得他收到过
It's not something one wants to think about, a naked Jack.
谁会乐意想象这种东西 裸体的Jack
I'm sure even Mrs Paynton has a problem with that!
我觉得他夫人都不大乐意
Sorry I interrupted.
抱歉 我插话了
Yes, well, there's one thing about these letters I really wish.
对的 嗯 关于这些信我还有一个想法
It would be so much better if people sent pictures of themselves with the letters.
要是人们把他们的照片也一起寄来多好
Because I often think, after receiving a very peculiar letter,
因为每读完一封信 我总会想
who could have written a letter like this?
什么样的人会写出这样的文字呢?
