你真天才 -哪一句?
You’re a genius. -Which line?

You’re a genius. You’re a genius.
我们看到兰花大盗 奥古斯塔马加里
“We see orchid hunter Augustus Margary.”
额头绑着一条肮脏破布 用来减轻头痛
He wears a filthy, spittle-soaked rag around his head to quell the pain.
裤子后面沾满排泄物…
The back of his trousers are stained greasy black from an anal leakage
因为得了痢疾
due to dysentery.
他在浓密的丛林中呻♥吟♥ 举步维艰
He moans with each tentative step through the overgrown jungle.
我受不了了
I’m fucked.
我们从老许开场
We open with Laroche.
他幽默的说”我喜欢让花草变种”
He’s funny. He says, “I love to mutate plants.”
他说”变种很好玩” 我们展出花卉
He says, “Mutation is fun.” Okay, we show flowers and… Okay.
我们要用法庭的案子 我们展现老许
We have to have the case. Show Laroche.
他说”我在婴儿时期就被变种了
He says, “I was mutated as a baby…”
“我才会这么聪明”
“It’s why I’m so smart.”
很好笑 好吧 我们用混沌初开 不!
That’s funny. Okay, we open at the beginning of time. No!
老许开车进入沼泽 -疯狂白人!
Laroche is driving into the swamp. -Crazy White Man! Aah!

他很滑稽 对吗?
He’s funny. Right?
“他的事情根本不配写书”
“There’s not nearly enough of him to fill a book.”
于是欧琳”旁敲侧击” 写了一堆废话
So Orlean “digresses in long passages.” Blah, blah, blah.
“支离破碎的拼凑” 纽♥约♥时♥报♥书评
“No narrative unites these passages.” New York Times Book Review.
我无法组织它们 这种纽约客的烂类型
I can’t structure this. It’s that sprawling New Yorker shit.
我该玩过她的后♥庭♥
Oh, man, I’d fuck her up the ass.
抱歉 -这本书没有剧情 毫无剧情
Sorry. -The book has no story.
好吧 那就捏造剧情

最能写出脍炙人口的故事

我不知道 我想是吧
I don’t know. I think they are.
你要帮我解套 -好吧
I need you to get me out of this. -All right.
查理 你已经整理好几个月了
Charlie, you’ve been stringing them along for months.
现在还拿不出东西 恐怕不好看吧
Not to give them anything at this point would be a terrible career move.

现在 我使用一套影像系统

因为我的多重人格主题
Because of my multiple personality theme,
我选了一个主题…
I’ve chosen a motif
用破碎的镜子 显示主角的分♥裂♥人格
of broken mirrors to show my protagonist’s fragmented self.
包勃说话影像系统
Bob says an image system…
可以增加感官的复杂美感

“Happy Together.”
大家穿着睡衣唱歌♥跳舞
Like when characters sing in their pajamas and dance around.

有太多思绪事物和人物
There are too many ideas and things and people.
太多可以遵循的方向
Too many directions to go.
我开始渐渐觉得
I was starting to believe…
真的需要特别关注一些事情…
the reason it matters to care about something
就可以把世界缩得小一点…
is that it whittles the world down
变得容易应付些
to a more manageable size.
真是窝心 洞悉忧愁
Such sweet, sad insights.
那么真实
So true.

Just whittle it down, you know?
把焦点放在故事面
Focus on one thing in the story.
找出那一件最最…
Find that one thing
让你热衷喜爱的事情
that you care passionately about
把它写出来
and then write about that.
苏丝欧琳是雅致的 被孤独所包围…
Delicate, haunted by loneliness,
娇弱而美丽
fragile, beautiful.
躺在熟睡的粗俗丈夫身边 她醒着
She lies awake next to her sleeping, insensitive husband.
她开始旁白
Her voice-over begins,
“我想我的确有一项不怕被人知道的热衷”
“I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion.”
“我希望能亲身体会”
“I want to know how it feels ”
“付出全副心神热爱某事的感觉”
“to care about something passionately.”
