夏洛特女王：布里奇顿前传（2023）

亲爱的读者
Dearest gentle reader.
就像凤♥凰♥涅槃
Much like a phoenix rising from the ashes,
我们的王后也会从灾难中重生
so too our queen rises from disaster.
符合条件的小姐们已经来到王后殿前
An army of eligible ladies have arrived at Her Majesty's doorstep,
希望能与王后的儿子们订立婚约
hopeful for betrothals to the monarch's sons.
王室婚礼和王室宝宝近在咫尺
Royal weddings and babies cannot be far behind.
然而 如果来自 音乐厅顶楼包厢的消息
However, if reports from the high galleries
是可靠的
are to be believed,
那王后陛下的脸上 最近几乎没有一丝喜悦
Her Majesty's countenance lately evinces little pleasure.
人们不禁要问 即将到来的幸福婚姻
One wonders whether impending connubial bliss
是否暴露了王后本人的孤独
has shone a light on Her Majesty's own isolation.
我有时觉得 我们的王后一定是英国最孤独的女人
[whispering] I sometimes think our queen must be the loneliest woman in England.
你觉得她会怀念吗?
Do you think she misses it?
-你说什么? -怀念有人陪伴
I beg your pardon? - Companionship.
当然 王后身边一直都有侍女
The queen is at all times surrounded by her ladies, of course,
还有男仆 骑兵 卫兵 却唯独没有男人
but footmen, horsemen, guardsmen, yet no man.
没有绅士
No gentleman.
你觉得她会怀念吗?
Do you think she misses it?
她有丈夫的
She has a husband.
但实际上
Yet in a very real way,
她跟你我一样 都是寡妇
she is as much a widow as you and I.
你认为王后寻求过吗?
Do you suppose the queen ever seeks...?
维奥莱特布里杰顿
Violet Bridgerton.
你是在问 我们的王后是否与人睡过吗?
Are you asking if our queen has been bedded?
没有 我没这样问
No. No, I would never.
你不应该这样想的 专心欣赏咏叹调吧
You should not think such things. You pay mind to the aria.
-陛下? -他死了吗?
Your Majesty? - Is he dead?
我没听到任何消息 王后陛下
I have not heard anything, Your Majesty,
所以我想陛下还活着
so I imagine His Majesty remains quite alive,
愿陛下万岁
and long may His Majesty.
好吧 去打听一下吧
Well, find out.
我想确认一下
I want to be sure.
遵命 王后陛下
Of course, Your Majesty.
王后的命令可以让世界的大门打开
The world's doors open at the queen's command.
大英帝国的男男女♥女♥
Every man and woman in the British Empire
都需要听从王后的命令
obeys the queen's whim.
我们会用战斗去守护她
We would go to battle to save her.
但那又怎样呢?
But what matter?
王后陛下最需要的东西
The one thing Her Majesty needs most
不是依靠军队可以战胜的
cannot be conquered by any army.
想要战胜孤独 王后只能依靠自己
Loneliness is a battle even queens must fight for themselves.
医生!
Torture! Torture!
《夏洛特王后: 布里杰顿家族前传》
“出来如花 又被割下
[bishop] "He cometh up and is cut down like a flower."
飞去如影 不能存留
"He fleeth as it were a shadow and never continueth in one stay."
生命之中 死亡同在”
"In the midst of life, we are in death."
我们来祈祷吧
Let us pray.
我们在天上的父
Our Father, who art in heaven,
愿人都尊你名为圣
hallowed be thy name.
愿你的国降临
Thy kingdom come.
愿你的旨意行在地上
Thy will be done,
如同行在天上
on earth as it is in heaven.
阿门
Amen.
丹伯里夫人
Lady Danbury.
我能为您做点什么吗?
Can I do anything for you?
你懂的 保姆说孩子们很快就睡着了
You know, Nanny said the children went right to sleep.
是的
That is true.
夫人 您饿了吗 还是觉得冷?
My lady, are you hungry or cold?
他们似乎并没有 因为父亲的去世而感到非常难过
They do not seem to feel much upset at the death of their father.
这并不奇怪
Which is not a surprise.
丹伯里大人 对他们来说就是一位陌生人
Lord Danbury was a stranger to them.

我被告知 我最喜欢的食物是他最喜欢的食物
I was told my favorite foods were his favorite foods.
我只能看他喜欢的书

And learned his favorite songs on the pianoforte.
我喝波特酒 是因为这种酒是他的最爱
I am drinking this port wine because it is his favorite,
所以也必须是我的最爱
and therefore, it must be mine.

I have never once...
我曾许多次梦想过
And as many times as I dreamed
想象过 希冀过 期望过...
and imagined and hoped and planned...
而我从没想过那一天到底会是什么样
I never thought what it would actually be like
看到他...离开

与世长辞
Wiped from this earth.
我是为他而长大的 但现在的我...
I was raised for him, and now I am...
重获新生了

焕然一新了
I am brand-new.
我甚至不知道如何不仰人鼻息
And I do not even know how to breathe air he does not exhale.
