职业美人鱼：美丽背后（2023）

‪在儿童节目当中 你会遇到 ‪奇怪的问题
In a kids' show you might get weird questions,
你需要高超的即兴技巧
and you need to have good improv
‪来应对某个四岁小孩 ，为了证明你不是真的
to deal with whatever that four-year-old might throw at you
‪而向你抛出的各种问题
trying to prove you're not real.
‪但是在成人活动中
But at adult events,
‪你的即兴表演技巧 ‪不太需要用在回答问题上
your improv skills become less about answering questions
‪而是更需要 ‪在不破坏气氛的前提下移话题
and more about deflecting without ruining the mood.
‪男人总是要问我们: ‪“美人鱼是怎么做♥爱♥的?”
Men will ask us all the time, "How does the mermaid have sex?"
‪通常我的回答是:“不是和你 先生”
And generally my answer is, "Well, not with you, sir."
‪太棒了!
Yes!
‪性骚扰在美人鱼产业中非常普遍
Sexual harassment is so common in the mermaid industry,
‪我们其实有专门的说法
we actually have a term for it.
‪我们称之为“人鱼色狼”
We call them "merverts."
‪很多人都说:
The number of guys that are like,
‪“真正的美人鱼是不♥穿♥上衣的”
"A real mermaid wouldn't wear a top."
‪再问一遍 先生 你认识几条?
Again, sir, how many do you know?
‪你才认识几条美人鱼?
How many mermaids?
‪有很多人都跟我说 ‪我胸太小了 不适合当美人鱼
I've had plenty of people tell me my boobs are too small to be a mermaid.
‪“我要对你的尾巴做很多事情”
"The things I'd do to your tail."
‪“我可以用这条尾巴抽你屁♥股♥”
"I could spank you with that tail."
‪我就想吐槽“用尾巴抽屁♥股♥”这点
I'm just on "spanking the tail." I'm like, "Do you know what that costs?"
‪我就说:“你知道这要花多少钱吗?
‪我的下一条鱼尾是你来赞助吗? ‪不是 把你的手拿开
"Are you funding my next tail? No, take your hands off it."
‪这可是量身定制的” ‪我们都笑了起来
"It's tailored." We start laughing.

‪(训练课程进行中)
‪今天早上 我们来看看你的浮力
Let's look at your buoyancy this morning.
‪呼气
Exhale.
‪吐气 吐出所有空气 然后深呼吸
Dump it. Dump all the air and take a breath.
‪吐出所有空气 然后深呼吸
Dump all the air and take a breath.
‪把一个人
It takes a lot of energy
‪培养成水下表演者 ‪需要花费大量的精力和时间
and time to put into making somebody an underwater performer.
‪训练他们如何用软管呼吸
Training them how to breathe on the air hose,
‪训练面部表情和动作
working on facial expressions and movements,
‪训练水下肢体语言
working on body language underwater.
‪好的 站起来 站直
All right, stand up. Just stand up straight.
‪脚尖伸直 膝盖弯曲
And point your toes, bend your knee.
‪我爸爸带我过来试演
You know, my dad took me to the audition, and that was the first mermaiding thing.
‪这是我的第一次人鱼表演
‪我之前从来没进行过人鱼表演
So I've never done anything mermaiding. But I love it now.
‪但我现在很喜欢
‪如果你呼吸方式不对
If you take a wrong breath or if your body, you know,
‪或者如果你的身体
‪感觉你的呼吸不够好
decides that was not a good enough breath,
‪它就很容易觉得:
it can be very easy to think, "Oh my gosh, I'm drowning."
‪“哦 我的天啊 我溺水了 ‪我的鼻子里、鼻窦里都是水”
"There's water in my nose, there's water in my sinuses,"
‪然后周围的一切都开始摇摇欲坠
and everything starts getting a little shaky-feeling.
‪嘿
Hey.
‪刚才好难受
That was a hard one.
‪(人鱼裁缝师的 ‪美人鱼水族馆邂逅之旅)
‪我很难向没当过人鱼的人解释
It's hard for me to explain to people who aren't mers
‪在人鱼裁缝师工作有多重要
how big of a deal it is to work at Mertailor.
‪我雇佣特里斯坦是因为我知道 ‪他想和人鱼裁缝师一起成长
I hired Tristan because I knew he wanted to grow with Mertailor.
‪他想成为人鱼裁缝师 ‪及其未来发展的一部分
He wanted to be part of Mertailor and its future growth.
‪他想成为一名水下表演者
He wanted to be an underwater performer,
‪他也愿意在人鱼裁缝师 ‪从事其他工作来达成这个目标
but he was willing to do other things at Mertailor to get there.
‪我的首要目标 ‪是成为埃里克水箱里的演员
My goal at the top of the list is being a performer in the tank for Eric.
‪保持清醒 做好准备
And being sober and being ready
‪能让
is gonna make...
‪我的梦想成真
make all my dreams come true.
‪(人鱼裁缝师)
‪(南卡罗来纳州 艾迪斯托海滩)
‪因为我的曾曾祖父
I definitely believe, 1,000%,
‪我完全相信自己是美人鱼的后代
that I am a descendant of a mermaid because of my great-great-grandfather.
‪我来告诉你为什么
And let me tell you why.
‪在他的那个年代
Back in his day,
‪他来到了艾迪斯托海滩放松身心 ‪我家人♥大♥多数都来自那里
he was chilling at Edisto Beach, where my family is mostly from.
‪他听到有人在大声哭喊
He heard someone crying and screaming really loudly,
‪于是他就在海滩上搜寻
and he searched the beach.
‪突然
And he, all of a sudden,
‪他发现了一条被冲上岸的美人鱼
found a mermaid washed up.
‪他便抱起她 救了她 照顾她
And he picked her up and rescued her, nursed her.
‪最后又把她带回了当初发现她的海滩
And took her back to the beach where he found her.
‪为了感激他对她的照顾 ‪她祝福了他 然后便游走了
And she blessed him for taking care of her, she swam off.
‪所以我觉得我是美人鱼的后代
And that's why I feel like I am...
‪我不是“觉得” ‪我知道我就是源自她的祝福
I don't "feel like." I know I am the blessing from her.
‪所以我认为我是美人鱼的后代
And that's why I feel like I'm a descendant.
‪现在我是家里的美人鱼
And now I'm the family mermaid.
‪-你好! ‪-生日快乐!
Hello! - Happy birthday!
‪生日快乐 妈妈!
Happy birthday, Mama!
‪你好!
Hello!
‪你好吗?
Hi! - How you doing?
‪-我爱你! ‪-我也爱你
I love you! - Love you too.
‪你好吗! ‪你好吗! ‪你好吗! ‪你好吗!
What's up! What's up! What's up! What's up!
‪爸爸! 很高兴见到你
Daddy! Good seeing you. Good seeing you.
‪没必要点蜡烛 免得把我的房♥子烧了
I don't need no candles setting my house on fire.
‪-大家准备好了吧 ‪-嘿!
All right, y'all. - Hey!
‪一、二、三...
One, two, three...
‪祝你生日快乐...
‪哦 天啊!啊哦!
Oh no! Uh-uh! - We can't do that one.
‪你几岁啦?
‪我...
I am...
‪谢谢你们
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
‪我妈妈绝对是典型的黑人基♥督♥徒母亲
My mom was definitely the average, Black,
‪她会定期去教堂做礼拜
churchgoing Christian mom.
‪(信念让我们度过难关)
‪我是在教堂、家人 ‪还有每周日播放的福音音乐中长大的
I grew up around church, family, gospel music playing every Sunday.
‪在查尔斯顿南部 这里非常保守
Being down south in Charleston, it's very conservative.
‪我记得我第一次听到一位牧师
The first time I remember hearing a preacher
‪大声痛斥同性恋时
be very loud and upset about homosexuality,
‪反而在我心中引发了共鸣 ‪因为那时我就知道我是与众不同的
it struck a chord in me, 'cause I knew then I was different.
‪我当时还不知道同性恋是什么
I just didn't know what it was.
‪这些人并没有造成任何伤害
But then to hear such anger
‪只不过因为他们是同性恋
and such rage about someone being who they are
‪牧师就如此大动肝火
and not causing any harm
‪让我心里很不是滋味
really put a bad taste in my mouth.
‪这就是我小时候的房♥间
So this is my childhood room.
‪四面墙上都是玩偶
I had dolls all over four walls,
‪到处都是美人鱼
I had mermaids everywhere,
‪这里还悬挂着海草
I had seaweed dangling.
‪梳妆台上也摆满了美人鱼娃娃
I had mermaid dolls on the dresser everywhere.
‪我的父母
My parents,
‪他们对我很严厉
they were hard on me.
‪他们很严厉 一方面因为我是同性恋
They were hard, and it was because I was gay,
‪另一方面是因为美人鱼和玩偶
and it was because of the mermaids and the dolls.
‪有一天 我爸妈对我大发雷霆
One day, my mom and dad were mad at me,
‪妈妈把我所有的玩偶 ‪都从梳妆台上扔了下来
and my mom knocked all my dolls off the dresser,
‪爸爸在一旁帮她
my dad was helping her.
‪我哭了 哭得像个婴儿
I cried. I cried like a baby.
‪小时候 每次经历这些难熬的日子
When I had those rough times as a kid
‪我就会回到我的房♥间
I would go in my room
‪看美人鱼视频 画美人鱼
watching mermaid videos, drawing mermaids.
‪任何与美人鱼有关的东西 ‪都能支撑我坚持下去
But anything mermaid-related kept me going.
‪所有的负面因素 ‪都是让我成为美好人鱼的基础
All the negative built me up for all the good mermaid stuff
‪这是宇宙给我的恩赐
that the universe had for me.
‪我意识到 是宇宙 ‪让我经历了这一切
And I realized the universe put me through all that
因为它知道
'cause it knew...
‪我足够坚强 可以撑过这一切
I was strong enough to go through it.

‪(人鱼裁缝师)
‪-门口有一大排人 ‪-是啊
We've a line of people out front. - Yeah.
