成为简·奥斯汀（2007）

伯爵夫人 稀客啊
Madame le Comtesse. Seldom, too seldom,
您的到来让寒舍蓬荜生辉
my house receives the presence of nobility.
当然还有您的朋友 这边请
And, of course, its friends. Please.
您停留的时间不长 一刻都不能耽误
Your stay is short. There’s not a moment to lose.
我外甥已经安排好了
My nephew has devised a plan
在城里一系列的娱乐活动
of metropolitan amusement.
夫人 玩乐可是他的专长 您肯定也赞同这点
Pleasure is, as you would say, Madame, his forte.
真的吗
Ah, is it?
是哪场战役 汤姆
Which battle was it, Tom?
维勒斯-考其斯战役
ViIIers-en-Cauchies.
很好 数千人丧生 把法国佬打得人仰马翻
Very good. Thousands slain. Served those Frenchies out.
请原谅我的失礼 夫人
Saving your presence, ma’am.
不要因为我就不敢指责那些雅各宾派 法官阁下
Be not afraid of abusing the Jacobins on my account, Judge.
他们砍了我丈夫的头
They guillotined my husband.
真是野蛮人 畜生
Oh, savages. Beasts.
-那他的财产呢 -充公了
– And his property? – Confiscated.
真是场灾难
A disaster.
当然 不过当时我的财产大多都能随身带走
Of course, by then, much of my wealth was portable, so…
是啊 可以随身携带的财产
Yes, portable property
就是指小皮包带给人的幸福感
is happiness in a pocketbook.
你是在出言讽刺吗
Do I detect you in irony?
我个人认为
It is my considered opinion
讽刺就是面带笑容的羞辱
that irony is insult with a smiling face.
没错
Indeed.
不是
No.
不是吗
No?
不 讽刺是将对立的事实放在一起
No, irony is the bringing together of contradictory truths
并通过这种对比得出一个新的事实
to make out of the contradiction a new truth
同时让人开怀大笑或会心一笑
with a laugh or a smile,
我承认事实必定不能独♥立♥存在
and I confess that a truth must come with one or the other,
否则我就认为它是谬论
or I account it as false
也是对人性本质的否定
and a denial of the very nature of humanity itself.
我表妹是一名作家
My cousin is a writer.
写什么的
Of what?
简
Jane?

Novels.
正派家族的年轻女子
A young woman of family?
没错 舅舅
Yes, uncle,
明天我们还要拜访另一位女作家 雷德克里夫夫人
and tomorrow we go and visit another, Mrs. Radcliffe.
她很少社交 可以算是位遁世者
She keeps herself to herself, almost a recluse,
但我通过法律结识了她的丈夫
but I know her husband through the law.
谁
Who?
女作家 雷德克里夫夫人
The authoress, Mrs. Radcliffe.
-写作就是她的职业 -她的什么

一千多英镑
Above ￡1 ,000?
时代变了 时代变了
The times, the times.
您的生活很清静
You live so quietly.
但您的小说却充满了浪漫 危险和恐惧
And yet your novels are filled with romance, danger, terror.
所有我生活中缺少的东西
Everything my life is not.
显然如此
Apparently.
你想写什么小说
Of what do you wish to write?
能反映内心的小说
Of the heart.
你了解自己的内心吗
Do you know it?
并不全然了解
Not all of it.
总有一天会的

但即使失败了
But even if that fails,
还可以靠想象力呢
that’s what the imagination is for.
你的想象力给你带来了独♥立♥
Your imagination has brought you independence.
我和我丈夫也付出了代价
At a cost to myself and to my husband.
可怜的威廉

娶了我这个被大家认为头脑不正常的女人为妻

我这个做妻子的 在文学上的声誉

简直是丑闻
nothing short of scandalous.
但一定有可能
