战争之胜负依赖于

抱歉 塔培安先生
Mr. Tippings, excuse me a moment, please.
有什么话 辛克说什么
-Any word from Mr. Adams? -What did Cinque say?
他不肯理睬你
He won’t talk to you.
不肯理睬我
He won’t talk to me?
对
No.
你的英语学得怎么样了
How’s your English coming?
大概不比我的门迪语流利
No better than my Mende, I suppose.
辛克 我知道
You know, Cinque, I realize this isn’t something
你不愿多想
you necessarily want to think about,
但你想过没有 只有我肯帮你
but has it occurred to you that I’m all you’ve got?
正因如此
Because as it happens,
我的律师业务一落千丈
since my practice has completely deteriorated in the past months,
我也只剩下你可以帮我了
you’re all I’ve got.
瞧 这是我 看到了吗
See, this is me. You see?
你知道这是怎么回事吗
You see? You see how this works?
这个 辛克 是给我的

15年来亚当斯一直 跟废奴主义者调情
Adams has flirted with the abolitionists for 15 years,

我们正在谈论约翰
I was talking about John…
-先生 -什么
-Sir. -Yes?
辛克叫我问您
Cinque has asked me to ask you
您是否考虑过管辖区的因素
whether you have thought about the question of jurisdiction.
什么
What?
因为他们把船远远驶到公海
That since they took over the ship far out to sea,
公海不归西班牙或美国管辖
and since neither Spain nor America owns the sea,
为什么那个条约还有效
how is it that the treaty applies?
告诉他条约不受管辖区限制
Tell him the treaty recognizes no jurisdictional limitations.
-怎么啦 -他会问我为什么
-Well? -He will ask me why.
告诉他 是我说的
Because I said so.
抱歉 先生
Excuse me, sir.
什么
Yes?
辛克想知道
Cinque would like to know
他是不是雷兹和蒙茨的财产
that if he is the legal property of Ruiz and Montes,
该条约怎样在两国中使用
then how does the treaty apply, since it is between America and Spain?
或其公民中使用
Or their citizens.

是一个更重要的原因
No, there is another reason and a more important reason.
或许对我们比对你们更重要
Although, I’ll admit that perhaps more so to us than you.
好 不要
All right, don’t… Yeah.
辛克
Cinque.
你知道我是谁吗 有没有人告诉你我是谁

嗯
Yes.
他们告诉过你什么
What have they told you?
你是首领
That you are a chief.
我曾是首领 对
I was a chief, yes.
一日是首领 永远是首领
A chief cannot become anything less than a chief, even in death.
可惜这里不一样 辛克

非你想像所及
You’ve no idea.
