他死於猩紅熱，不能怪我 You can't blame me for scarlet fever.

我喜歡冰淇淋 I like ice cream.
不代表我得整天吃 It doesn't mean I eat it 24 hours a day.

都在這裡 Here we are.
現在怎麼樣？ How are you feeling?
好多了，謝謝 Much better. Thank you.
一定要報警 Then we must send for the police.
不行，別找警察 No! No, not the police.
為何不找，你可是當街遇襲啊 Why not? When you've been set upon in the street?
沒什麼可說的 I have nothing to tell them.
我還沒來得及看見對方的臉 I didn't see his face. It all happened so fast.
而且我也不想上報 And I don't want to be a story in the papers.
這我能理解 Well, I can understand that.
若你當真毫無證據 If you really have no evidence.
當時我腦中一片空白 My mind is a complete blank.
不是你先挑釁吧？ And you did nothing to provoke him?
何出此言 Why do you say such a thing?
因為我瞭解你 Because I know you.
我看過你輕率無禮的樣子 I've watched you be reckless and rude.
況且你為何在街上走 Why were you walking the streets anyway?
怎麼不招輛車？ Why didn't you hail a cab?

你說對了，他確實需要睡眠 But you were right about his needing sleep.
明天早上會感覺好一點 He'll feel better in the morning.
真夠折騰的 What a business.
可不是嘛 我其實是進來關心你的 Yes, but I really came in to ask how you were feeling.
－怎麼說？ －新任牧師提到‥ - What do you mean? - When the new rector told us
瑞克斯先生結婚了 about Mr. Raikes's marriage...
你是說那件事啊 Oh, that.
我是有一點吃驚 It was a little bit of a shock.
但我沒事 But I'm fine.
－我會沒事的 －那就好 - Or I will be. - Good.
你還有大好未來 Because you have so much to look forward to.
我很確定 I'm sure of it.
我過去確實愛過他 I did love him.
我很高興你說＂過去＂ I'm glad that you use the past tense.
表示你已經接受事實，也放下了 It helps to accept that a thing is finished and done with.
問題是‥ The question is...
接下來呢？ what's next?
真命天子會出現 The right man will come along.
我要的不只是一個丈夫而已 But I don't just want a husband, Aunt Ada.
況且誰說真命天子一定會出現 And anyway, who says he'll come along?
誰也不敢保證 He doesn't always.
沒錯 That's true.
我的真命天子就沒出現 He never came for me.
我在你這年紀時非常害羞 But I was very shy when I was your age
條件也不如你 with so much less to offer.
能看見我內在美的少之又少 It would have taken someone rare to look inside my shell.

近十年的屋主 是一位內斂的密爾瓦基老夫人 But for the past decade, it was owned by a quiet old lady
鮮少招待外人 from Milwaukee, who did not entertain.
對大多當地人來說 So, for most people here
會是全新社交場合囉？ it's going to be a new house on their rounds?
那是一定的 Indeed it will.
－希望你不會嫌我操之過急 －不會啊 I hope you don't think I'm rushing things. I do not. You conquered New York.
你已經征服紐約，接下來換紐波特了 Now it's time to conquer Newport.
我還沒征服紐約 But I haven't conquered New York.
說什麼呢，你在紐約暢行無阻 What? You go everywhere.
到各豪宅作客 You dine in the best houses.
教堂座位跟阿斯特家人只隔條走道 You have a pew opposite the Astors at St. Thomas.
但還進不了歌劇院 But I haven't got a box at the opera.
這次又被回絕了 The Academy has turned us down again.
他們確實很難搞 They can be very trying.
是阿斯特夫人難搞，她肯定知情 Mrs. Astor can be very trying. She must have known.
她跟你說了我們被拒於門外嗎？ Did she tell you they were keeping us out?
你想大都會歌劇院會取而代之嗎？ Do you think the new Metropolitan Opera will succeed?
學院歌劇院成員 會盡全力阻止這件事 The members of the Academy are very determined it should not.
一旦選擇大都會 And if you jump that way
會與阿斯特夫人背道而馳 you'll never take Mrs. Astor with you.
建議你還是跟隨她 My advice would be to stick with her.
她最後還是會讓你進去的 She'll get you into the Academy in the end.
我向來不願等到最後 I'm not much good at in the end.
況且世事多變 Besides, nothing stays the same forever
我不可能永遠對阿斯特唯命是從 and I can't always be at Mrs. Astor's beck and call.
有什麼不好，我就是啊 Why not? I am.
兩位快請進吧 Aren't you coming in?
這邊的空間加大 You see we've increased the space in here
也改變了光線的角度 and changed the angle of the light.
太棒了 It's splendid.
我兒子真有才華 My son is a genius.
這間可以當宴會廳 We can use this room for entertaining.
來看隔壁的舊圖書室 And come, look into the old library next.

賴瑞，你表現得很好 You have done well, Larry.
接下來有何打算？ What will you do now?
我打算去紐約找工作機會 I expect I'll go to New York and look for some work.
這方面我倒是可以推薦 I may have something to suggest in that department.
紐波特這裡有位寡婦 打算整修 There is a widow, here in Newport, who is planning some alterations
並增建她的房子 理察布連夫人 and additions to her house, a Mrs. Richard Blane.
她在这里吗? She's here?
為何社交季沒到就來這裡？ Out of season? Why?
丈夫過世後她想要定居紐波特 She decided to live in Newport after her husband's death.
她喪夫多年了嗎？ Has she been alone for many years?
約一年半前過世 He died about 18 months ago.
現在擴建似乎有點早 It seems rather soon for her to build.
應該還很難過 Isn't she still in mourning?
非也 Not exactly.
理察布連先生年紀比她大很多 But then the late Mr. Blane was a good deal older.
你是說她很高興擺脫他 You mean she's glad to be rid of him?
應該是很高興能花他死守一輩子的錢 Well, she's glad to spend the money that he guarded like a hyena.
感謝麥卡里斯特先生 I'm very grateful, Mr. McAllister.
你還沒見過她 我可以幫忙牽線 You haven't met her yet. But I think it could be managed.
－你整個夏天都會待在城裡 －羅素先生 - And you'd be in town all summer. - Mr. Russell.
我先去檢查臥室，再帶二位去看 I'm just going up to check the bedrooms before you see them.
跟我說說布連夫人 Tell me more about Mrs. Blane.
聽憑尊便 If you insist.
她初識布連先生時 身無分文 She was penniless and in a tricky situation
且處境堪慮 when she met Mr. Blane.
八成是沒想到他還能活二十年 I do not believe she thought he'd survive for 20 years.
怎麼不回紐約？ Well, why didn't she go back to New York?
待在紐波特比較自由吧 Newport allows her more freedom.
你餓了嗎？ Oh, are you hungry?
晚餐快好了 Dinner won't be long.
您又在哭了？ Have you been crying again?
在想你父親的事 Thinking about your father.
別一直折磨自己了 We can't keep torturing ourselves.
我是想到我們初識的機緣 I was thinking about the first time I ever met him.
他救了我一命 He saved my life.
我跟你說過這事嗎？ Did I ever tell you about it?
沒有 No.
當時我從教堂走回家 I was walking home from church
有兩個男人尾隨我，還戲弄我 and two men started following me, taunting me.
－白人？ －對 - White men? - Yes.
我走到街角想找個地方躲 And I rounded a corner, hoping to find somewhere to hide.
幾乎跟你父親撲個滿懷 And I practically ran right into your father's arms.
謝天謝地 Thank heavens.
那兩個男人追上我時 亞瑟用怒目逼退他們 When the two men caught up with me, Arthur stared them down.
他不必開口，那兩個就嚇跑了 He didn't have to say a word, and they ran off.
你父親後來跟我說 他看見那兩人形跡可疑 Your father later told me that he saw what they were doing
所以想確認我安全返家 and wanted to make sure that I got home unscathed.
我不曉得有這回事 I never knew that.
跟亞瑟在一起總讓我很安心 I always felt so safe with Arthur.
多年來自以為很瞭解枕邊人 但沒想到‥ You sleep in a man's arms for years and you think you know him, but...
你來了 There you are.
晚餐應該好了 Dinner must be ready now.
誰告訴你我出了意外？ How did you hear about my contretemps?
奧蘿拉芬恩告訴我的 Aurora Fane told me.
你肯來表示我們又是朋友了？ Does your presence here mean we're friends again?
奧斯卡，我倆相識太久也太深 Oscar, you and I have known each other far too long
不可能反目 and much too well not to be friends.
這樣我就放心了 If that is the case, I'm delighted.
很好 Good.
可以告訴我實情了嗎？ Now will you tell me what really happened?
也沒什麼 Nothing much.
我那天早上在教堂看到你 I saw you at church that morning, by the way
跟一名高挑黝黑又俊美的男子 with someone tall and dark and handsome.
快說 Tell me.
我在酒吧認識一名男子 I met a guy in a bar, and he said he had somewhere we could go.
他說我們可以去一個地方 And so he took you into a dark alley
然後就把你帶到暗巷痛揍一頓 and he beat you to a pulp
再偷走你的手錶和錢包 and he stole your wallet and your watch.
他沒拿走我的錶 He didn't take my watch.
不知道原因 I don't know why not.
這種事還要持續多久啊 How long will this go on?
你不能一直自曝險境 You can't keep putting yourself in danger.
我開始覺得你說得有道理 I'm starting to think you may have a point.
意思是？ Meaning?
或許我該開始過成人的生活 I wonder if it isn't time I began to live a more grown-up life.
該不會是奧斯卡凡瑞恩打算成家 Don't tell me this heralds the arrival of Oscar van Rhijn
成為上流社會的砥柱？ family man and pillar of Society?
我已經拖太久了 His entrance is rather overdue.
你知道這麼做會很辛苦吧 You do know you would be asking a very great deal of yourself?
在我之前不知凡幾的男人都這麼做 No more than thousands of other men have asked before me.
你總有一天也會屈服的 No more than you will ask of yourself one day.
我不會 Not me.
我不願意深鎖真實身份，永不見天日 I've no desire to lock who I am in a box and throw away the key.
我應該辦不到 I don't think I could, anyway.
你怎麼過日子？ Then what will your life be?
交交朋友，互相陪伴 Friendship, companionship, perhaps something more
低調點的話也許能再進一步 if I can learn to live with a little discretion.
仍是充滿謊言的人生 It's still a life of lies.
至少我不必騙自己 But I won't be lying to myself.
你不一樣，你還有兄弟 It's different for you. You've got brothers.
我是凡瑞恩家族唯一傳承香火的人 I am the torchbearer of the House of van Rhijn.
不要恨我 Don't hate me.
我絕不可能恨你 I will never hate you.
少爺，鮑爾太太派我送咖啡過來 Mrs. Bauer thought you might both like some coffee, sir.
幫我謝過她 Oh, please thank her.
我們自己來就好 Oh, we'll manage for ourselves.
她看見什麼了嗎？ Did she see anything?
也沒什麼見不得人的 There wasn't a lot to see.
還需要些什麼嗎？ Would you like anything else?
咖啡就好，謝謝 Just coffee, thank you.
謝謝你抽空見我 It's good of you to make time for me.
別客氣，您是無事不登三寶殿吧 Not at all, but I assume you've come here on a mission.
說的沒錯 And you're right.
請別怪他口風不緊 I hope it wasn't indiscreet of him
據我們的朋友麥卡里斯特說 but our friend, Mr. McAllister, seems to think that you're unhappy
你在不高興學院沒給你包廂 that the Academy has failed to find a box for you.
明明就有包廂空出來 When one became available.
候補名單上有人已等了很久 But there are people on that list who have waited forever.
一定會輪到你的 Your day will come, my dear.
音樂學院已服務紐約市三十年 And the Academy of Music has served New York Society for 30 years.
我們理當表示忠心 Have they not earned our loyalty?
或許你該，但我不用 Yours maybe, but not mine, not when they won't let me in.
況且根本不讓我進去 Why didn't they see this coming
他們為何沒及早預見 趁還有時間多蓋包廂呢？ and build more boxes when there was still time? The Academy has been short-sighted.
是學院眼光不夠遠 I'm told there are 120 boxes
聽說新落成的大都會歌劇院 有120個包廂 in the new Metropolitan Opera House.
這就沒有專屬感了 They can't want it to be exclusive.
紐約新貴那麼多，包廂很快就會填滿 They'll fill them though with so many new people in the city now.
羅素夫人 Mrs. Russell,
我為你在紐約這麼成功感到很驕傲 you must know how very proud I am of your success in New York.
－過獎了 －我是說真的 - That's generous. - No, I mean it.
你憑努力打進上流社會 希望我多少有些幫助 You worked to be accepted, and I do hope that I was a help.
你該不會想拋開一切成果 You wouldn't want to throw that all away
回到你最初的情況吧？ and find yourself back where you started, out on your ear?
我想去受重視的地方 I suppose I'd like to go where I am valued.
對我友善的地方 Where people are friendly.
新歌劇院的人或許容易認識 Well, the audience at the new opera house will be easy to meet
要甩開可是難上加難 but you'll find that they are hard to get rid of.
不如我宴請歌劇愛好者 Why don't I give a dinner of opera enthusiasts
大家一起討論 so we can discuss the whole subject?
－能賞臉嗎？ －能先看賓客名單嗎？ - Would you come? - May I see a list of the guests?
我目前還沒擬 When I have one.
先給我您方便的日期 But give me a date that works first.
我需要您在場指導 I need you there to be my guide.
請務必慎重行事 I shall take it very seriously.
不希望你耗費心力 I wouldn't like to see you pay the price
支持輸的一方 for backing the losing side.
阿斯特夫人說對一件事 Well, you're right about one thing, Mrs. Astor.
我肯定要站在贏的一方 I certainly intend to find myself on the winning side.
把孩子的相片藏起也無法撫平傷痛 Hiding his picture away won't get rid of the pain.
是不會 Of course not,
難道你想天天睹物思人？ but do you want a daily reminder?
亞瑟，我們原本有個孫子 Arthur, we had a grandchild.
他的相片該跟你我父母 His photograph belongs with the pictures
及其他家人放在一起 of your parents and mine and all the rest of them.
他們雖過世，仍是我們家人 They're dead, but they're still our family!
好吧，要我說出口嗎？ 我錯了 All right! You want me to say it? I was wrong!
我以為做對了，結果是錯的 I thought I was right, but I was wrong!
當初不該把孩子送走 We should have kept the boy!
這樣你高興了嗎？ There! Are you satisfied?
怎麼可能高興？ How can I be satisfied?
我孫子死了啊 My grandson is dead.
幫你留了一些晚餐 We saved you some dinner.
我不餓 I'm not hungry.
孩子長得很像這個年紀的你 He looks so much like you at that age.
相片就放在這裡吧 Shall we keep it in here?
不好吧 I don't think so.
放在我房間就好 I'll have it in my room.
她不想向人展示相片 She doesn't want it on display, Dorothy.
是她不想，還是你不想？ She doesn't, or you don't?
我夜不成眠， I lie awake at night
悔不當初 thinking about how I should have done things differently.
對不起 I'm sorry.
我也只能這麼說 That's all I can say.
你得繼續道歉 Well, you just have to keep saying it
直到佩姬打從心底原諒你 until Peggy can find it in her heart to forgive you.
或直到我原諒你 Or I do.
難道還不懂嗎？ But don't you see?
就算你道歉， Even if you are sorry
我也相信你是真心的 and I do believe that you are...
還是改變不了什麼 it doesn't change anything.
你打算恨我一輩子？ So, you'll hate me all your life?
我不恨你 I don't hate you
但我們該分開一陣子 but we need a rest from each other.
我們三人困在懊悔中已經太久了 We have been trapped in this trio of regret for too long.
我去睡了 Now I'm going to bed.
多希望你能留下 不該這麼快就走， How I wish you would stay. It feels much too soon.
我很擔心你 I do worry so.
今天不回銀行上班吧？ You won't go back to the bank today?
我下週才會去 I've said I'll be there next week.
瑪麗安，照顧好他 Marian, look after him.
我會的 I will.
你還好嗎？說真話 How are you, really?
我一天比一天好了 I'm making progress, as they say.
真是不幸中的大幸 It could have been so much worse.
說的是 我很可能當場身亡 Indeed. I could have been killed
這樣一來豈不是白活了 and then what would have been the point of my having lived at all?
別說這種話 Don't say that.
你看，對面在開午宴 我當然沒有受邀了 Oh, look. A luncheon party, no doubt to which I am not invited.
你該不會還在想著葛萊蒂羅素 Don't tell me you're still pining for Gladys Russell.
－想必她成了矚目的焦點 －那還用說 I suppose she's now the cynosure of all eyes?Of course.
她漂亮多金，已進入社交圈 這裡可是紐約呢 She's pretty. She's rich. She's out in society, and this is New York.
你還想追求她？ But are you still a contender?
還沒放棄？ Haven't you given up?
我確實該放棄 I should, really.
她從不回我信 就算見了面互動也很僵硬 She never answers my letters, and if we do meet, it's very stilted.
一定是羅素夫人要她別理我 I'm sure Mrs. Russell has told her not to speak to me.
若你真心愛她， Well, if you're really in love with her
就該再接再厲 you must give it another try.
這次可要妥善計劃才行 But this time, make a proper plan.
你讓我信心大增 You fill me with resolve.
你跟姑媽說了你的秘密嗎？ So, have you told your aunts your secret yet?
還沒說 我會說的 No, but I will.
－什麼時候？ When?
－等到再也瞞不住的時候 When I can't keep it secret any longer.
你呢？ But what about you?
我不確定還能忍受與父母同住多久 I just don't know how much longer I can stay with my parents.
有辦法解決嗎？ What's the remedy?
我有機會重回六一街嗎？ Is there any chance I could come back to 61st Street?
若夫人還沒找到接替的人‥ If Mrs. van Rhijn hasn't found a replacement...
我很確定還沒找到 I assure you she has not.
能幫我問問她嗎？ Then can you ask her if she'd meet with me?
愛格姑媽會張開雙臂歡迎你 Aunt Agnes would welcome you back with open arms.
而我也是 And so would I.
但是家裡有人不歡迎我 Not everyone in that house is so hospitable.
愛格姑媽應該很後悔 留住阿姆斯壯卻讓你走 I think Aunt Agnes regrets keeping Armstrong when she let you go.
若你能忍受她，就快回來吧 我願意 And if you think you can handle her, please come back.
儘管有個阿姆斯壯小姐 I'd like to, Miss Armstrong notwithstanding.
我跟姑媽說了再寫信給你 I'll speak to Aunt Agnes and write to you.
謝謝你 Thank you.
為何需要我幫忙？ But why do you need my help?
你認識葛萊蒂， You know Gladys Russell.
何不自己安排會面？ Why can't you arrange to meet her yourself?
因為她母親不要我追求她 Because her mother doesn't want me as a suitor.
羅素夫人只喜歡自己挑選的人 Mrs. Russell doesn't like any man she hasn't chosen.
那我也愛莫能助 But I don't see what I can do about it.
要再來杯咖啡嗎？ Now, would you like some more coffee?
還是幫你拿三明治？ Or can I fetch you a sandwich?
我自己來吧 I'll do it.
謝天謝地你康復了 I'm glad to see you're better.
想必很可怕 Was it very terrible?
的確讓我想了很多 It certainly made me think.
我為何要在紐約閒晃？ What was I doing wandering round New York
明明該待在家陪妻小吃飯 when I should have been at home, dining with my family?
天啊 Heavens.
意思是你想成家了？ You mean you'd like to settle down?
應該是吧 I suppose I do.
還是得過羅素夫人這關 Which brings us back to Miss Russell.
請幫幫我 Please help me.
我以前幫過你，但沒成功 I've helped you before, and nothing came of it.
這次我知道該怎麼做 This time I know what to do.
我只需要跟她獨處幾分鐘 I just need a few minutes alone with her.
你邀我倆吃午餐 Ask us both to luncheon.
不行，那太明顯了 No, that would be too obvious...
我原本就打算幫達許表親接風 but I've been meaning to mark cousin Dashiell's return to New York.
你可以一起來 You can come to that.
如何讓葛萊蒂自己來 沒有母親陪同？ What reason can you have for asking Gladys but not her mother?
交給我吧 Leave it with me.
山人自有妙計 I have an idea.
芬恩夫人幫表親辦接風宴 有什麼不對？ Mrs. Fane is throwing a party for her cousin.
我那天要辦晚宴 - What's wrong with that? - It's on the day of my dinner.
她怎麼能這樣？ How could she do such a thing?
也許蒙哥馬利先生空不出其他日子 Perhaps Mr. Montgomery couldn't manage another date.
午宴三點半開始 It starts at half past three.
六點前到家還有時間準備 We'll be home before six, with plenty of time to get ready.
我去不了 I can't come.
我那天必須待在家 I won't be able to leave the house that day.
葛萊蒂可以跟布魯克小姐一起去 她肯定會受邀 Then Gladys can go with Miss Brook. She'll have been invited.
她能幫葛萊蒂擋開我不認可的人嗎？ But will Miss Brook protect her from men I don't approve of?
說真的，母親 Honestly, Mother.
你叫我別跟你不認可的人說話 You say I'm not to speak to men you don't approve of
但你認可的人沒半個 but you don't approve of anyone.
讓她出門見識一下吧 She must be allowed to go out.
總不能一直把她關著 You can't keep her in a bandbox.
好吧，我說不過你們 Oh, very well. I give in.
－謝謝 Thank you.
－我必須出席晚宴嗎？ Do I have to be at the dinner?
我在匹茲堡有些麻煩事要處理 Only I've some troublesome business in Pittsburgh I'm dealing with.
我需要你在場 I need you there.
實在不懂何須大費周章 I wish I could understand the whole thing.
你根本不喜歡歌劇 至少我從不知道 You don't even like opera. Not so I've ever noticed.
歌劇院是上流社會展現自己的場合 George, the opera is where society puts itself on display.
不只紐約，整個歐洲都一樣 Not just in New York but all over Europe.
最上層者佔有包廂 And the leaders take boxes
彼此往來 子女互相追求獻殷勤 where they meet each other and their children court each other
上流社會就是這樣運作的 and that is how the wheels of society turn.
學院試圖阻止大都會的興建 The Academy tried to stop the Metropolitan from being built.
他們自以為能得逞 And they thought they could
大都會十月底就要開張了 but it'll be open by the end of October.
若你支持大都會 If you decide to back the Met
就會與阿斯特夫人為敵 you know you'll be taking on Mrs. Astor?
所以呢？ And?
你不怕她，當然是好事 Of course I love that you're not afraid of her.
我很高興與她為友 但沒打算當她的跟班 I'm glad to be her friend, George, but not her lackey.
奧蘿拉來信 Aurora has written.
說要幫達許辦歡迎茶會 She's giving a tea for cousin Dashiell.
不是說我們要辦？ Weren't we going to manage that?
讓奧蘿拉辦吧，他們是表親 Aurora can do it. She's his cousin.
我們一同出席 瑪麗安也可藉機認識合適的對象 We'll all go, and Marian can meet some more suitable young people.
您所謂合適的對象 Although I'm never sure that your definition of suitable
可能跟我的定義不同 is quite the same as mine.
那麼你就該修正 If it isn't, it should be.
你不會還在想著 那個無趣的瑞克斯先生吧？ I hope you're not still pining after that tedious Mr. Raikes.
愛格， Oh, Agnes.
沒必要提起這件事 There's no need to bring that up.
我沒有想著他 Not really, Aunt Agnes.
他倆結婚也是遲早的事 They were bound to marry at some stage.
希望你下次多聽我們勸告 All I hope is that next time you will listen to us
別以為我們什麼都不懂 and not assume we know nothing.
我會多謹慎一些 I shall be more sensible...
如果還有下次的話 if there is a next time.
這是我們唯一的要求啊，艾達 尊重我們的忠告 That's all we ask, isn't it, Ada? Some respect for our advice.
我只希望瑪麗安快樂 All I want is for Marian to be happy.
要請你確認一下購物清單 I need you to confirm this is the final list for ordering.
給我吧 Give it to me.
進度如何， How is it coming on?
還來得及吧？ Will we be ready in time?
應該可以，但計劃很重要 I think so, but planning is the key.
想請你幫個忙 I do have a favor to ask.
羅素夫人希望場面夠浩大 As you know, Mrs. Russell hopes to put on quite a show
我們從別人家外借了一些男僕 so we're borrowing some footmen from various households
－你要我也充當男僕 And you want me to swell their number.
－不是 －不打緊，是我分內的事 - Not exactly. - I don't mind. It's part of my job.
－不是 我是要你當助理管家 No, I need you more as an under-butler
幫忙侍酒 to take care of the wines.
我會帶你熟悉流程 We'll go through them together, of course
你負責開瓶，倒酒，加冰塊和上酒 but if you could see to their opening, decanting, icing and serving throughout the evening?
是我的榮幸 I'm flattered.
你們覺得她真會支持大都會？ But do you really think that she'll side with the new Metropolitan?
看起來很像是這樣 It's beginning to look like it.
不怕阿斯特夫人暴怒？ Won't Mrs. Astor kick up a stink?
羅素夫人沒在怕的 Mrs. Russell doesn't lack courage.
－一起來玩 －爸爸？ Come with us!
去玩吧 - Papa? - Go on.
達許 真高興見到你 Dashiell, how very good to see you.
剛搬回紐約就該來找我們才對 Except you should have called on us the moment you got to New York.
您說的是，愛格舅媽 Indeed I should have done, Aunt Agnes.
請原諒我 I hope you can forgive me.
別這麼見外 Oh, of course we can.
奧斯卡也來了 You know Oscar.
天啊，奧斯卡 Oscar. Good heavens.
我倆都比上次見面老了好多 We're both rather older than when we last met.
別說了 Don't remind me.
這是舍姪女瑪麗安 她現在與我們同住 And this is our niece, Marian Brook, who lives with us now.
所以我們也是表親囉？ Does that make us cousins?
還差那麼一點 Almost, but not quite.
法蘭絲也來了嗎？ Where is Frances? Is she here?
來了 她看到一群小的 She is. But she found a group of young
就丟下我這個老的 and so she escaped me.
歡迎，達許表親 Cousin Dashiell, welcome.
大家去喝茶吧 Come, shall we have our tea?
達許，真高興看到你 Dashiell, good to see you.
奧斯卡 你帶羅素小姐參觀查爾斯的新圖書室吧 Oscar, why don't you show Miss Russell Charles's new library?
是我的快樂和驕傲 My pride and joy.
我們走吧？ Shall I?
聽憑尊便 If you wish.
你能康復真是太好了 I'm so pleased you're well again.
還不能跳舞 I'm not quite dancing yet
等全好了，希望能與你共舞 but when I do, I hope you'll be my partner.
令堂來了嗎？ 沒有， - Is your mother here? - No.
否則我才不敢跟你說話 Or I wouldn't dare talk to you.
那麼還好她沒來 Then I'm glad she's not.
至少我知道為何你沒回信了 Well, at least I know now why you never answered my letters.
母親認為拿走我的信沒什麼不對 Mother wouldn't see that keeping them from me was wrong.
她覺得我配不上你 I suppose she thinks I don't have enough to offer.
所以我請奧蘿拉辦這場茶宴 Which is why I asked Aurora to give this party.
－好親自說服你 －什麼？ So I could make the offer myself.
我自認不是最年輕多金的人 - What? - I know there are men out there
但我們會過得很好 who are younger and richer than I am, but we would live well.
你可以自行選擇交友 You could choose your own friends
持家和生活方式 run your own house, manage your own life.
－這是你想要的吧？ －當然啦 - Isn't that what you want? - Very much so.
而且我不霸道 And I'm not a bully.
不會要求你順從我或附和我 I'd never force you to echo my opinions and parrot all my views.
這我相信 Of course not.
大多男人都會那樣 Most men would.
應該是吧 That's true, I suppose.
我願一切依夫人意見 I am happy to be hen-pecked...
只要你是那位夫人 as long as you're doing the pecking.
葛萊蒂，我們會很快樂 We'd have fun, Gladys. I know we would.
我希望我倆快樂地在一起 I want us to be happy...
幸福美滿 我們一定可以 very happy. And I believe we could be.
先不要回答我 - Oh, I... - Don't answer now.
只要知道我對你的愛溢於言表 Just know that I love and admire you more than I can say.
我從未對其他女子有這般感受 More than I've ever felt for any other woman.
可是你對我認識並不深 But you don't know me. Not really.
我知道你既聰慧又美麗 I know you to be intelligent and fine.
條件允許的話能獨立自主 而且很風趣 And independent when you're allowed to be, and witty.
你擁有一切我愛慕的特質 You have every quality that I admire. Truly.
這該讓我父親知道才是 Shouldn't you be saying these things to my father?
我會寫信給他 I'll write to him.
奧斯卡，葛萊蒂 Oscar? Gladys?
茶宴要開始了 You mustn't miss the tea.
這就來 Of course not.
古爾德 勞工騎士團的事有何進展？ Gould, how are things going with the Knights of Labor?
目前我佔上風 Better for me than for them.
我想也是 I should expect nothing less.
他們的要求不可理喻 Their demands are outlandish.
他們領導人鮑德利 要求勞工 The leader, Powderly, says he wants all workers
跟雇主形成合作關係 to be in partnership with their employer.
他要什麼是他家的事，但不可能成真 He can want what he likes, Mr. Gould, but he won't get it.
－你目前有何損失？ Have you sustained any damage?
－那你呢？ Have you?
我們不是來競爭 This isn't a competition, gentlemen.
古爾德先生無意壟斷黃金市場 Mr. Gould is not cornering the gold market.
羅素先生也無意逼鐵路公司破產 Mr. Russell is not bankrupting a railroad.
這次大家終於站在同立場 For once, we're on the same side.
此言甚是 He's right.
大家該高興才是 Let us enjoy the sensation.
他們用貨運路線威脅我 They tried to target my freight traffic
甚至封鎖了幾條 and shut some down.
－你沒讓步吧？ －絕不能 - But you didn't give in? - We can't give in.
否則他們一定會得寸進尺 The list of what they want will grow with every concession.
房子，醫療，降低工時，提高薪資 Houses, medical care, less work, more pay
居然敢要求每天八小時工時 they want an eight-hour workday, for God's sake!
還要求安全措施，以為是幼兒園嗎？ Safety measures that make a child's nursery look dangerous.
重點是我們不能讓步 The point is we can't back down
否則畢生建立的事業將會失控 or we'll lose control of everything we've spent our lives building.
這次我們得團結起來 For once, we must stand together
要改變也是我們說了算，不是他們 and introduce change when we decide, not them.
他們是暴民 要用對付暴民的方式 They're a rabble, so treat them like a rabble.
大不了花錢雇用半數勞工 If it comes to it, I'll hire half the working class
把另一半殺了 to kill the other half.
－謝謝 －再見了 - Thank you. - Goodbye, Aurora
感謝二位招待，今天很盡興 And thank you both. This has been lovely.
非常完美的茶宴 Everything was so charming.
感謝賞臉才是 Oh, our pleasure. We're so glad you could come.
愛格舅媽，請暫時留步 Aunt Agnes, could I hold you back for one more minute?
我找到法蘭絲了 她想向您打招呼 I've found Frances, and she wants to say hello.
真高興看到你 How nice to see you, my dear.
愛格舅婆好，艾達舅婆好 Aunt Agnes, Aunt Ada, how are you?
你的記性真好 You have a good memory, that's clear.
布魯克小姐，你怎麼在這裡？ Miss Brook? What are you doing here?
你怎麼會認識？ How do you know Miss Brook?
她是我在聖馬利的老師 Oh, she's my teacher at Saint Mary's.
什麼？ What?
我在聖馬利教水彩畫 I teach watercolors at Saint Mary's.
每個星期四 On Thursdays.
星期幾不重要 The day is immaterial.
你知道學生是達許的女兒嗎？ Did you know you were teaching Dashiell's daughter?
怎麼會知道，我們今天才認識 How could she? We've only just met.Yes.
我們回家吧 很高興見到大家 We should go, but it's good to see you all.
改天到家裡來玩 Come and call on us.
所以你跟鮑爾太太 在普奧戰爭會是敵對狀態？ So you and Mrs. Bauer would've been on opposite sides in the war of 1866?
會啊，我老家是漢諾威 隸屬奧帝國 Yes. I'm from Hanover, which fought with Austria
韋伯小姐是柏林人，即普魯士首都 and Miss Weber is from Berlin, the capital of Prussia.
歐洲怎麼不學學美國？ Why can't Europe be like America?
因為歐洲跟美國完全不同 Because Europe is nothing like America.
別介意我這麼說 I hope you don't mind my saying so
你當羅素夫人的侍女似乎太年輕 but you seem very young to be a lady's maid to Mrs. Russell.
我只是暫代，她還在找人 I'm standing in until she finds a new one.
我是葛萊蒂小姐的侍女 I'm Miss Gladys's maid.
她已正式踏入社交圈 Now she's out and enjoying the season
你肯定每晚都幫她穿晚宴服 you must be dressing her in glamorous ball gowns every night.
羅素夫人把女兒看得很緊 Mrs. Russell keeps her daughter on a tight rein.
是怕男人覬覦她家的錢吧 I suppose she's afraid of fortune hunters.
這種人紐約到處都是 Of which there are plenty in New York.
我可沒說是誰 Naming no names.
－主子回來了 －我先走了 - They're back. - I'd better go.
－鮑爾太太，謝謝咖啡招待 Thank you for my coffee, Mrs. Bauer.
－不客氣 Right.
－有機會再見面？ I hope we meet again.
－好啊 I'd like that.
聖馬利學校歷史悠久而且聲譽好 Saint Mary's is an old school, and very well-respected.
就算是華盛頓念的學校也一樣 I don't care if it's where George Washington learned to read!
我教青少女繪畫， I teach nice young ladies to paint.
哪裡會不得體？ What could be more respectable?
既然如此，為何不敢說？ If you thought so, then why did you keep it a secret?
我知道您會生氣 Because I knew you'd be angry.
艾達，你為何不阻止她？ Ada, why didn't you stop her?
我做得了什麼？ Me? What could I have done?
你何時知道這件事？ When did you find out about it?
跟你一樣今天下午 This afternoon. Like you.
你藐視我倆，倒是挺公平的 So your contempt for us both was at least consistent.
我沒有藐視任何人 I don't have contempt for anyone.
達許表親也沒因此件事不悅 And it doesn't seem to bother cousin Dashiell
奧蘿拉也沒有 that I teach at his daughter's school. Or Aurora.
因為他們覺得你很可悲 They feel sorry for you. That's all.
你錯了 You're wrong.
不是每個人都跟你一樣殘忍惡毒 Not everyone is as cruel and mean spirited as you!
- 瑪麗安‥ - 我不希望你 - Marian... - Is it cruel to mind it
壞了家門聲譽也叫殘忍？ when you stamp on our name and drag it in the mud!
閃一邊去 Now, get out of my way!
我看你還是別教了吧？ I suppose you have to drop it now.
不行 No, I won't.
我答應了校長， I've given my word to the headmistress
絕不能食言 and I'm not going to break it!
這樣家裡氣氛會很僵 Then things may be uncomfortable.
那又怎樣？ So what?
我不要當籠中鳥 I won't be put in a cage!
艾達小姐，一切還好吧？ Is everything all right, Miss Ada?
沒事 Yes, Bannister.
我聽到爭吵聲，這在家裡很少見 Only I heard shouting, which is unusual in this house.
是很少見 It was unusual, yes.
但我覺得，偶爾吵吵 But every now and then
各自抒發情緒，未嘗不是好事 I wonder if it isn't good to shout a little and let off steam.
夫人找我？ - You sent for me, ma'am. - I should be changing
我去更衣前要確認細節都顧到了 but I need you to tell me that everything is taken care of.
放心，都處理好了 Everything is taken care of, ma'am.
您去庫辛夫人家用餐那天都排練過了 We did a dry run the night that you dined with Mrs. Cushing.
訂的貨和借來的男僕都到了嗎？ And the deliveries, the extra footmen, they've all arrived?
夫人上樓更衣吧 Madam, please go up and change.
這裡交給我就行 And leave this to me.
我幹嘛答應做舒芙蕾 I am such a fool to have agreed to a souffle.
每十分鐘就得重做一批 We'll have to keep making new batches at 10 minute intervals
賓客需要時才上桌， then only serve them as they're wanted
其他都丟掉 and throw the rest away.
華生先生，準備好了嗎？ Mr. Watson, are you ready?
好像倒太多乾紅葡萄酒 I think so. I may have decanted too much of the Claret
太多總比不夠好 but better too much than too little.
邱區先生，我要總檢查 Mr. Church, I'm doing a final check.
你打扮得美極了 How nice you look.
我擔心和那群人往來對你有害 I'd say that I fear it may harm you to be seen in that company
但你肯定會認為我既殘忍且惡毒 but I know you will only think me cruel and mean spirited.
瑪麗安不是有意的 Marian didn't mean what she said.
是嗎？ Really?
我說得太過分了 我認錯 I spoke too harshly. I admit that.
愛格也想道歉 Agnes is sorry too.
對吧？ Aren't you?
班尼斯特會護送你到對面 Bannister will escort you across the street.
瑪麗安布魯克小姐到 Miss Marian Brook.
她可爱嘛? Isn't she lovely?

我不曉得你也要來 You never said you were coming to this.
他本來不知道 查爾斯臨時接到通知 He didn't know, but Charles was summoned to Washington
明天要去華盛頓開會 for a last-minute meeting tomorrow.
我請達許代替他來 I asked Dashiell to take his place.
凡瑞恩家族人面廣 您肯定獲益不少 I must say the van Rhijn connection makes you all into quite a club.
你也是成員之一啊 Of which you are a member.
我只是姻親，不是血親 By marriage, not by blood.
那也沒什麼不好的 Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
－布魯克小姐晚安 －羅素夫人好 - Good evening, Miss Brook. - Mrs. Russell.
下午承蒙你款待葛萊蒂 Gladys enjoyed her tea with you.
你不能來真可惜，但我能理解 I'm sorry you couldn't come, but of course I quite understand.
反正我現在也見到你表親了 Well, I've met your cousin now anyway.
－謝謝讓我帶他來 －哪裡的話 Thank you for letting me bring him.
省得我臨時去找男賓客 Nonsense. He saved me from finding another man at the last moment.
查爾斯很懊悔不能來 Charles was wretched.
他說府上的法國廚師是全紐約最棒的 He says you have the best French chef in New York.
這事說來可有意思了 Oh, that's funnier than you know.
這場晚宴是表態支持新歌劇院嗎？ Is this dinner in aid of the new opera house?
何出此言？ Why do you say that?
原以為是單純招待歌劇愛好者 I thought it was for opera lovers in general
但我看到吉柏先生在場 but I see Mr. Gilbert's here
他不就是負責宣揚大都會的嗎？ and isn't he in charge of preaching the gospel of the Met?
應該是吧 I suppose that's true.
你知道我不會跟阿斯特夫人作對吧？ You do know I won't go against Mrs. Astor?
你目前是這麼想 I know you think you won't.
別擔心，我倆別鬧不合 But don't worry. We shan't fall out.
羅伯麥克尼爾伉儷到 Mr. and Mrs. Robert McNeil.
羅素先生晚安 麥克尼爾先生夫人好 - Mr. Russell, good evening. - Mr. McNeil.

－你好 －二位好 - How do you do? - How do you do?
－葛萊蒂 －失陪了 - Gladys? - Oh, please excuse me.
吉柏先生來了 I gather Mr. Gilbert's presence
想必這場晚宴是支持大都會？ means the dinner is to support the Metropolitan?
是的話，算我們一份 If so, count us in.
他寫信給令尊了嗎？ Has he written to your father yet?
今天下午才跟我說的 It was only this afternoon.
－他真求婚了呢？ －看情況 What will you say when he does?
我很想盡快脫離母親掌控 That depends. I want to get away from my mother, of course, but...
你真想成為凡瑞恩夫人嗎？ Do you really want to be Mrs. Oscar van Rhijn?
你知道阿斯特夫人 You do know that Mrs. Astor
巴不得大都會胎死腹中吧？ would like the Metropolitan blown up from its foundations?
別擔心，我自有辦法 Don't worry. I have a plan.
今晚只想讓她看看 And this evening, I simply want her to understand
學院競爭對手的實力 the competition the Academy will face.
她來了 Here she is.
阿斯特夫人，承蒙您賞臉前來 Mrs. Astor, thank you for coming. I'm delighted to see you.
我看到一些意料之外的賓客 You have guests I wasn't expecting.
你沒說會邀請麥克尼爾夫婦 You never said you'd invited the McNeils.
他倆在學院候補名單上 I'm afraid that they have spent a long time on our waiting list.
比你久的多了 Much longer than you.
很多賓客都在那張名單上 Several guests here have spent time on your list.
難不成你把全紐約進不了學院 Have you combed the city for the disenchanted rich
而絕望的富人都找來了？ who couldn't get a box at the Academy?
阿斯特夫人，學院董事會自以為 Mrs. Astor, the Academy Board may think
能恣意拒紐約新貴於門外 they can keep out the new people with impunity
聰明如您也知道那是錯的 but you're clever enough to know they're wrong.
大都會則新舊不拘，全數歡迎 While the Metropolitan would welcome the old guard if they want to come.
何不在兩處都佔個包廂 看看結果如何？ Why not take a box in both houses and see how it plays out?
你也許不視忠心為美德 我可不同 Perhaps you do not value loyalty, I am different.
費許夫人，我真該罵罵你 I should scold you, Mrs. Fish.
但我知道你向來唯恐天下不亂 But I know that you're just playing with matches, as you like to do.
容我介紹吉柏先生，還是您也認識？ May I present Mr. Gilbert? Or do you know him?
我聽說過他 I know of him.
他負責幫新歌劇院到處籌資 He is in charge of grubbing up the cash for the new house.
此話非讚美，卻是事實 Not flattering, but true.
您今晚出席 是代表願意展開對話吧？ I was hoping your presence here was a sign you were open to argument.
我要去拿我的大衣了 I am open to fetching my coat.
凱莉呢？ Where's Carrie?
別這樣 Please don't.
我倆鬧翻肯定會上明日早報 We can't have a falling out and be a story in the morning papers.
我留下並非出於自願 If I stay, it will be under duress
完全是為了避免醜聞 and only to avoid a scandal.
真是太感謝了 I should be very grateful.
宴會開始了 Oh, look. We're going in.
夫人請 Mrs. Astor.
我實在不該延誤這場精彩饗宴 I must not delay our no-doubt excellent dinner
容我獻上宴後禮 在此宣佈新劇院 but as a parting treat, let me announce the singers
第一季出演的歌手名單 we can look forward to hearing in our first season.
索菲婭史卡奇，瑪塞拉森布瑞奇 Sofia Scalchi, Marcella Sembrich,
朱塞佩德爾普恩特 Giuseppe Del Puente
安德利羅馬諾 Andrea Romano,
伊塔洛坎帕尼尼 Italo Campanini,
羅伯托斯塔尼奧 Roberto Stagno
當然少不了最出色的 克莉絲蒂娜尼爾森 and of course, the great Christina Nilsson
她會在開幕夜出演 who will perform on the opening night.
聽完名單後今晚還睡得著的人 If any of you can sleep after hearing those names
希望你們夢到音樂 then I hope you dream of music.
尼爾森向來都在學院演出 But Nilsson always performs at the Academy.
學院是她在紐約的家 The Academy is her home in New York.
她不可能在大都會演出 She can't be singing. Well, she is.
她已經答應了 And surely, even if they sell every seat in the house
就算賣個滿座 也請不起那麼厲害的陣容 they won't have enough money for that cast.
他們頭幾年不打算賺錢 They won't expect to run at a profit for the first few years.
我不懂， I don't understand.
這什麼意思？ What does that mean?
意思是他們多的是錢，不在乎虧損 I'd guess it means they have plenty of money at their disposal.
哪有人故意做虧本生意 But they can't plan to run at a loss.
太不合理了 That isn't fair.
讓觀眾有機會欣賞 Well, the audience will have the chance
全世界一流歌手的演出 to hear every major singer in the world.
不是很合理嗎？ Isn't that fair?
你在幹嘛？ What are you doing?
想事情 Just thinking.
在想韋伯小姐？ About Miss Weber?
說什麼呢？ What are you talking about?
你喜歡她 You like her.
開始計劃了嗎？ Are you making plans?
沒有 No.
但我不打算一輩子當男僕 But I won't be a footman all my life.
你想做什麼？ And what would you like to do?
我有很多感興趣的事 I'm interested in a lot of things
但不曉得如何用來謀生 but I'm not sure how to turn any of them into a living.
找韋伯小姐幫忙啊 Perhaps Miss Weber could help.
先進去了，外面好冷 I'm going inside. It's cold.
你們認為學院時代已結束？ So you feel the Academy is finished?
在我看來，學院太霸道了 It seems to me the Academy wants it every which way.
既不願增建包廂 They refused to build more boxes
他们不会花钱去找最好的歌手。 and they won't spend the money to secure the best singers.
而且還不准別人這麼做 But they don't want anyone else to do so either.
麥克尼爾夫人，你還好嗎？ Mrs. McNeil, are you all right?
芙蘿拉 Flora?
你怎麼了？ What is it?
沒事 Nothing.
我大概咬到舌頭了‥ That is, I must have bitten my tongue.
或什麼的 Or something.
是什麼？ Or something?
我咬到舌頭了 I bit my tongue.
布朗太太，想参加…… Mrs. Brown, would like to join...
內人也很欣賞他 對吧，夫人？ Yes, Mrs. McNeil is also an admirer.
是吗，亲爱的? Aren't you, my dear?
我怎樣？ Aren't I what?
很欣賞羅伯托斯塔尼奧 An admirer of Roberto Stagno.
什麼？ What?
他是你欣賞的男高音 The tenor.You admire him.
對啊，我很欣賞 I suppose I do, yes.
請別介意， I hope it is not a disappointment
此次不請男賓客喝波特酒 that we won't leave the gentlemen to their port.
請各位隨我去大廳 Instead, would you like to join me in the hall?
那是誰，幹嘛盯著他看？ Who was that? Why were you looking at him?
他是我父親 That man is my father.
你知道他是僕人嗎？ Did you know he was a servant?
我媽說他家道中落 My mother said he had come down in the world
但我不確定是否屬實 but I wasn't sure her account was honest.
過這麼久了，你怎麼還認得他？ How did you recognize him? After all this time?
他曾經在我們家對街看著我 He used to come to the house and watch me from across the street.
我問他緣由，他才跟我說 When at last I asked why, he told me.
這下該怎麼辦？ What can we do?
希望別被人發現才好 Except hope it doesn't get out, I suppose.
我想有更好的方法可行 Oh, I think we can do more than that.
天啊‥怎麼可能？ Oh, my, how?
什麼時候佈置的？ When was this all done?
當然是用餐的時候 During dinner. When do you think?
但這不可能吧 But that's impossible.
誠如各位所知十月新劇院開幕 You know now that the new opera house
將上演古諾作品＂浮士德＂ will open in October with a production of Gounod's Faust
有幸請來 and as you heard, we're lucky enough
克莉絲蒂娜尼爾森飾演瑪格麗特一角 that Miss Christina Nilsson will sing the part of Marguerite.
今晚各位更是幸運 But we are perhaps even luckier than that this evening
尼爾森小姐專程來紐約 because Miss Nilsson has traveled to New York
讓大家先睹為快 to give you a taste of things to come.
什麼？ - Oh, God! - Oh, I can't believe!
歡迎＂瑪格麗特的花園＂ I bid you welcome to Marguerite's garden.
看著鏡中的我喜不自勝 I laugh at seeing myself As such a beauty in this mirror
看著鏡中的我喜不自勝 I laugh at seeing myself As such a beauty in this mirror Is that you, Margherita?
這是你嗎‥瑪格麗特？ Is that really you? Answer me, answer me
快回答我 Answer, answer, answer quickly
這不再是你的臉 No, no, that's no longer your face
這是國王之女的臉 This face is the face Of the daughter of a king
不再是從前的你 Not you anymore, not you anymore
這是所到之處 人人都會行禮的臉 It's the face of someone that people Will salute to as she walks by
我開始明白你的計劃 I begin to grasp your plan and you seem to have won the first battle.
看來你贏了第一場戰事 I intend to win the war.
我打算贏得整場戰爭，專心聽歌 Now...
若他看見我這模樣 If he saw me so
發現我是如此青春貌美 Like such a young lady He would find me to be so beautiful
待續
謝謝觀賞
