从13岁我就开始工作了。
I’ve been working since I was 13 years old.
一开始是在酒店工作。等我离开酒店和高中后…

独自一人打扫三层楼。
I was cleaning three floors all by myself.
母亲离世后,我负责父亲住房♥的管理。

I’m married and I have a daughter.
您的房♥子很大,但我也有力气,我能做好这份工作。
This is a big house, but I’m a big woman, and I can do a good job.
我可不会装成一个平易近人的女雇主。
I do not pretend to be an easy woman to work for.
“德洛丽丝”
“Dolores.”
在这里工作有很多规矩。
This house has a number of rules.
你一定从别人那里听过了。
I’m sure you’ve heard them second-hand.
但我还是亲自告诉你。
But I’ll tell you in person.
那样我们就能避免让人流泪的做作场面。
so we can avoid a teary scene later on.
我喜欢所有的窗户每天至少通风2小时。
I like all the windows open every day for at least two hours…
她太有她的法子了,可不是吗。
She did have her ways, did she ever.
我不晓得她从哪里学会掌控的,但我明白她已经成为了这些规矩的囚徒。

发霉也是你被解雇的理由。

ever want to get wrong.
你或许能切掉她那高傲得夸张的鼻子。
You could’ve cut off her high-flown snobbish nose.
但她仍能闻得出是烘干的被单,还是自然晾干的。
and she still would be able to smell
a sheet that had hung outside from one baked in the dryer.
麻烦让一下,多诺万先生。
Excuse me, Mr. Donovan.
现在就得晾吗?
Do you have to do that now?
跟夫人谈谈吧。
Talk to the Missus.
她的丈夫
Her husband
杰克
Jack
整个夏天他就只来一次。
He only came up once all summer.
大多数时间里他都选择不理她。
Most of which he spent ignoring her anyway.
她原本可以简单地把晾衣架设在房♥子边上。
She could’ve just easily had the clothesline near the house.
可多诺万夫人才不,夫人可不这样。
But not Vera Donovan. No, ma’am.
她要让南风吹拂过她的床单、桌布和枕套。
She had to have the south wind blowin’ through her linens.
那就意味着我要每天步行上下来回两次才行。

每周去银行存进40元
Every week that $40 went in the bank.
我为她做的事,她都挑不出毛病。
There wasn’t a damn thing she could say about it.
多谢。
Thanks a lot.
尽管那个夏天她一直抱怨。
As much as she crabbed that whole summer.
但我一定是做对了什么事。劳动日那天
I must have done something right. Come Labor Day…
德洛丽丝
Dolores
我知道你冬季非常忙碌。
I’m sure your winter schedule is rather hectic.

德洛丽丝,我相信我已经跟你说过不止一次。
Dolores, I believe I told you more than once.

Get that out of here and put that there.
还有,把这恶心的沙发抬走。
And take away this disgusting sofa.
她花了2天时间来装填她的堂皇宫殿。
It took two days to load in her majesty’s palace.
她给了我全职工作,我也接受了。是的,我接受了。
She offered me full time and I took it. I took it.
我了解那将会是怎样一个人间地狱。
I knew what kind of hell it would be.
地狱并不是一夜间把你扔进去的地方。
Hell ain’t something you get thrown into overnight.
真正的地狱会慢慢接近你。
The real hell comes on you as slow.
就像一排冬天里被夹好的湿被单。
and steady as a line of wet winter sheets.
鼻涕不自觉地流出。
Snot leaking off your nose.
你的双手又冷又痛。
Your hands so cold and raw.
你开始希望双手变得麻木。
you start wishing they’d go numb.
这还只是12月。等到2月的时候
It’s only December. You know by February
皮肤会狠狠裂开,若是你握紧拳头,它还会淌血。
the skin’s gonna be cracked so bad, it’ll break open and bleed if you clench a fist.
当你经历过下一个2月

和再下一个时,在你明白之前,你已经拉伸被单拉了20年。
and the next and before you know it, those sheets stretch out 20 years.
没人强迫你留在那里。
Nobody made you stay there.
– 我需要钱。 – 不是一开始,也不是40元一周。
– I needed the money.
– Not in the beginning, not $40 a week.
那是我最需要的时候。
That’s when I needed it the most.
不是为我,而是为你。
Not for me, for you.
噢,完美借口。
Oh.That’s perfect.
所以是我的错咯。
So it’s my fault.
你认为你父亲会在乎你是否离开这座小岛吗?
You think your father cared if you ever got off this island?
又来了。
Here we go.
我存钱
I put that money
每周,我把钱存进你的账户。
every week, I put it away in your account.
