因此，爱蜜莉安
我们的婚姻不长
And so, Emilienne, we had not
been married very long…
她并不是非常的圆滑
从普罗旺斯来的
…and she was not all that
sophisticated coming from Provence…
俄♥国♥大使请我们喝伏特加
…was offered vodka
by the Russian ambassador…
她以为是水，大口喝下去后
…and she, thinking it was water
and following the other guests…
…就倒下了
…swallowed it straight back.
你能想像她有多惊讶
我永远忘不了她脸上的表情
You can’t imagine her surprise!
I shall never forget her expression.
你是驻美大使？
不…
You were the ambassador
to the United States?
我只是大使♥馆♥里的小职员

round object.
A football, I think it is called.

她不会介意我迟到一下的
我每个礼拜都去看她

一个小故事
当爱蜜莉安和我在威尼斯时
我们租了一间小别♥墅♥
有个星期天水管坏了
…we rented a small villa.
One Sunday the plumbing went out…
星期天是找不到修水管工人
所以我只好自己动手了
…and I couldn’t get a plumber so I
went down to make some repairs myself.
我在黑暗中爬行
发现了一些纸
And crawling about in the dark
I came upon some papers.
是诗集
Poetry.
你猜到了吗？
没有
– Have you guessed?
– No.
我们住在布朗宁的别♥墅♥
而不自知
We had been living in the
Brownings’ villa and didn’t know it!
真是妙极了，是新的诗集？
不，大部份是手稿
– Fantastic! Were they new poems?
– No, mostly drafts…
…which improved
when they were published.
出版之前她又做了些修正
葡萄牙文的十四行诗
Some of the
Sonnets from the Portuguese…
还有她保留的一些报纸
描述他们遇见的人
…and pages from a journal she kept
describing the people they met…
去过的地方、里度岛之旅
…the places they went,
the trips to the Lido…
以及桥下之吻
什么桥？
…the kiss under the bridge.
– What bridge?
有个古老的威尼斯传说
There is an old Venetian legend
which says that…
传说中日落时
当钟楼的钟声响起
…if two lovers kiss in a gondola
under the Bridge of Sighs…
如果一对情侣乘坐轻舟
在叹息桥下亲吻
…at sunset when the bells
of the campanile toll…
他们将会永远的相爱
…they will love each other forever.
布朗宁他们是这样的吗？
And they did?
许多年后她死在他的怀里
She died in his arms
some years later.
那你和爱蜜莉安呢？
