亨特小姐,恐怕我是以虚伪借口来这见你
Miss Hunter, I’m afraid I’ve met you here under false pretences.
真的?为什么

政♥治♥复杂性
There are political complications.
威尔士王子正来柏林,他应邀参加皇帝的生日宴会

You see, Miss Hunter, I know a chap at our Embassy here. We were at school together.
他的名字是菲茨罗伊,我们以前叫他娃娃脸
His name’s Fitzroy. Only, we used to call him “Baby-Face”.
威尔士王子和你的娃娃脸有什么联♥系♥?
But how are the Prince of Wales and your friend “Baby-Face” connected?
你知道
Well, you see…
知道我要来,他几乎大为烦恼
..he nearly had a fit when he knew why I’d come.
我指娃娃脸
Baby-Face, I mean.
他拉我进去见二等秘书,他也大为烦恼
He lugged me in to see the Second Secretary and he nearly had a fit too.
可能的丑闻
The possible scandal, you know.
你想暗示点什么吗,肯迪先生?
Are you coming to a point, Mr Candy?
是的,就是我得答应不做任何事
Yes, the point is that I had to promise to do nothing.
我也去为你担♥保♥
And I went bail for you, too.
哦
Oh.
显然,这是为了谨慎外交
Apparently, it’s a matter for careful… careful diplomacy.
你能明白他们的意思
You can see what they mean.
当然
Yes, of course.
我对政♥治♥一窍不通,我也为不受欢迎大伤脑筋
I know nothing about politics. I rather stuck my head in where I wasn’t wanted.
– 我可能会惹上最糟糕的麻烦 – 麻烦,肯迪先生?
– I could get into the most awful trouble. – Trouble, Mr Candy?
我是个军人,你知道的

一个女孩对政♥治♥如此感兴趣,有点令人惊愕
You know, it’s a bit staggering to see a girl take such an interest in politics.
– 政♥治♥? – 你还能怎么称呼?
– Politics? – Well, what else can you call it?
德国宣传反对英国,对立的宣传
German propaganda against England. Counter-propaganda.
那不就是政♥治♥吗?
That’s politics, isn’t it?
对于我不是,对于很多人都不是

肯迪先生,柏林的大使♥馆♥,向伦敦的外交办公室汇报
You see, Mr Candy, when our Embassy in Berlin reports to the Foreign Office in London
“德国人对于布尔人问题的态度有轻微变化”
that “a slight change of attitude is visible in the German nationals towards the Boer question”,
我失去了立场,正在回到家庭的怀抱
I have to report home that I have lost my position and am returning to the bosom of my family.
我想他们对此会很不高兴
I suppose they’d be rather sick about it.
– 他们会张开双臂欢迎我 – 我也不责怪他们
– They will welcome me with open arms. – I don’t blame them, either.
我家反对我来柏林
No, you see, my family were opposed to my coming to Berlin.
– 他们说属于年轻女孩的地方是家里 – 没错
– They said the place for a young girl is home. – Quite so.
– 为什么? – 什么意思?
– Why? – What do you mean, why?
你怎么知道年轻女孩该属于什么地方,你是女孩吗?

– 你有女儿吗? – 我说
– Have you any daughters? – I say!
你们男人打仗时,我们女人在思考
While you men have been fighting, we women have been thinking.
想想自己,女人有什么工作可做?
Think for yourself, Mr Candy. What careers are there open to a woman?
– 她可以结婚 – 我想说
– She can get married. – I was just going to say…
假设她不想结婚?她可以做个家庭教师
Supposing she doesn’t want to get married? She can go and be a governess.
但一个家庭教师知道什么呢,肯迪先生?没有,我保证
But what does a governess know, Mr Candy? Nothing, I assure you.
那她又可以教给孩子什么呢?
Then what can she teach the children in her charge?
很少,除了良好的礼仪,如果她自己有
Very little, except good manners, if she herself has good manners.
– 良好的礼仪很重要 – 你在南非学的吗?
– Good manners are important. – Did you learn that in South Africa?
我哥哥说良好礼仪的代价是马赫斯方丹,斯托姆贝格,科伦索

(华尔兹结束)
(Waltz ends)
(鼓掌)
(Applause)
我不懂的是,你为什么要教德国小孩子礼仪?
The one thing I don’t understand is why you should have to teach German children manners.
– 有足够的英语… – 如果你保证不笑,我就告诉你
– There are plenty of English… – I’ll tell you, if you promise not to laugh.
– 我保证不笑 – 我唯一的资产就是熟练掌握英语
– I promise. – My only asset is a fluent command of English.
哦
Hear, hear!
在英国教授英语就像运煤去纽卡斯尔,工资很差
To teach English in England is to carry coals to Newcastle, and it’s ill-paid.
我决定留在德国,我的英语更值钱
I decided to obtain a post in Germany, where my English would command a premium,
而且,学好了德语,回到英国…
and, having learnt German, to return to England…
嗯,我会很值钱!
Well, I’ll be sugared!
– 那是他吗? – 是他,那只臭鼬
– That is he? – It’s him, all right, the little skunk.
– 我们该走了吗? – 走?
