好吧，等你成了公爵…
Well, when you are a duke…
你来找我，给我看你的王冠， 或者不管你怎么叫它…
you just come and show me your crown, or whatever it’s called…

看起来都是遥不可及
All seemingly equally out of reach.

但是一个下午，有一刻， 当我的想法离目标越来越远的时候…
When one afternoon, at a moment when my thoughts were furthest from the subject…
命运帮了一把

It’s the most discreet place. In fact, anonymous.
嘿，你，赶快包装， 不要偷听我们谈话
Hey, you. Get on with that parcel, and never mind what we’re talking about.
你敢再拿那东西碰我一下试试！
Don’t you dare touch me like that!

第二天上午， 我等着他们下来-
The next morning, I waited for them to come down- –
直到第二天下午
and the next afternoon.
他们整天都没有出现
They didn’t appear the whole day.
第三天上午也没有

I was in a state of desperation…
我跟踪他们， 希望我不曾经历
And I followed them, hoping for I knew not what.

他们后来确定停了一会…
They did stop shortly afterwards…
但不是为了那个
But not for that.

Though I doubt if they would have noticed me even if I had.
时间安排的非常好
It was beautifully timed.
[ Bell Tolling ]
我觉得很对不起那个女孩…
I was sorry about the girl…
值得安慰的是，根据她的 反应推测，在那个周末…

I suddenly conceived a brilliant idea.
我要给老阿斯科内·德·阿斯科内 写一封措词优美的吊唁信
I would write a carefully phrased letter of condolence to old Ascoyne D’Ascoyne.
那是对他对妈妈的 冷酷无情的最佳报复
It would be an agreeable feeling of revenge for his cruelty to Mama.
也是为我自己报仇， 他在那时没有给我…
And, further, it had not failed to occur to me that there was, at the moment…

你好！
How do you do?

My late son.
一个巨大的损失
A great loss.
他又年轻又愚蠢…
He was young and foolish…
但我相信他直到 成年都是悠闲的-
but I believe had he been spared until his maturity–
我的良心让我来 用我的同情安慰你
It was my consciousness of that which led me to presume to tender you my sympathy.
我很高兴你这么做
I am glad that you did so.
巨大的损失会使他们 合适的前景看起来微不足道
A loss so tragic serves to put lesser matters in their proper perspective.
如果我记得不错，马兹尼先生…
If I remember rightly, Mr. Mazzini…
