布鲁克林

Mummy has stopped shopping at Nettles Kelly’s.
你知道的 她的面包不怎么新鲜
As you know, her bread wasn’t always fresh.
东西都太贵
And she overcharge for everything.
人品还不好
And she’s awful.
我没当面告诉她 没这个必要
I haven’t told her to her face.There’s no need.
她自己知道她的东西贵 又不新鲜
She knows that she overcharges and her bread’s not fresh.
当然我们每天都谈起你
We talk about you every evening, of course.
我们想知道关于你的一切
We want to know everything.
你一定很忙 但即使你的信有两百页这么长
I’m sure you’re busy, but even if your letters were two hundred pages,
你的母亲也会觉得不够长
they wouldn’t be long enough for your mother.
照顾好自己 爱你
Take care of yourself. Love.
你这几天月事来了吗
Is it your time of the month?
那你是怎么了
So what is it?
去员工室休息一下吧
Take some time off now. Go and sit in the staff room.
对不起艾莉丝 都怪我不好
I’m so sorry, Eilis. This is all my fault.
我以为你不再需要人照看了

弗兰科·巴尔托奇说你工作很棒

玛·凯赫说你是她见过最好的房♥客

对不起 谢谢你 但是为什么呢
Sorry, thank you. But why?
我很吃惊像你这样聪明的人
I was amazed that someone as clever as you
在家乡居然找不到好工作
couldn’t find proper work at home.
我在这儿呆了太多年了
I’ve been here too long.
都忘了爱尔兰啥样了
I forget what it’s like in Ireland.
所以当你姐姐写信告诉我你的事
So when your sister wrote to me about you
我就说教会会想办法帮忙的
I said that the Church would try to help.
反正布鲁克林需要多些我们爱尔兰女孩
Anyway, we need Irish girls in Brooklyn.
真希望我能停止想回家的冲动
I wish that I could stop feeling that I want to be an Irish girl in Ireland.
我能告诉你的是 这种感觉会过去的
All I can say is that it will pass.

Now, Taylor versus Standard Gas Co
是过去二十年内最高法♥院♥审判的

and extra turkey for everyone else.
姑娘们 矜持点

艾莉丝 弗洛德神父把你的圣诞安排告诉我了
Eilis, Father Flood told me about your Christmas plans.

The basement. And it has its own entrance.
我只让某类女孩住地下室
Now, I can only let a certain kind of girl stay there.
我指的不是长相
Oh, and I’m not talking about looks here.
尽管我承认上天给麦克亚当小姐的长相
Although I will admit that God did give Miss McAdam an advantage,
在我考虑让谁单独住在地下室的时候成了优势
when I had to think about who I could trust to live down there.
艾莉丝你和她不同 你是漂亮女孩 但你也明事理
No no, you’re a pretty girl Eilis. But you’re sensible.
所以地下室给你住 就这么定了
So, you’re having the room and that’s that.

她们肯定有意见 不过她们对什么没意见呢
Oh, I expect so. What don’t they mind?
