少年派的奇幻漂流

even by his own standards.
他把刀子放在椅子上
He’d left the knife out on the bench,
我做了他对水手做的事
and I did to him what he did to the sailor.
他是个很坏的人 但更坏的是…
He was such an evil man, but worse still, he…
他激起了我内心的邪恶
He brought the evil out in me.
我必须承认这一点
And I have to live with that.
我一个人在救生船上
I was alone in a lifeboat…
漂过了太平洋
drifting across the Pacific Ocean.
我活了下来
And I survived.
之后他们就没再发问了
After that, they had no more questions.
他们似乎并不满意这个说法
The investigators didn’t seem to like the story, exactly.
但他们谢谢我
But they thanked me,
祝福我 然后就走了
they wished me well, and they left.
这两个故事里
So the stories…
斑马和水手
both the zebra and the sailor…
都摔断了腿
broke their leg.
鬣狗咬死了斑马和猩猩
And the hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan.
所以…鬣狗是厨子
So… the hyena is the cook.
水手是斑马
The sailor is the zebra.
你妈妈等于猩猩
Your mother is the orangutan.
而你就是…
And you are…
老虎
the tiger.
我可以问你一件事吗
Can I ask you something?
当然可以
Of course.
这个海上事件 我说了两个故事
I’ve told you two stories about what happened out on the ocean.
两个都无法说明沉船的原因
Neither explains what caused the sinking of the ship…
也没有人能证明孰为真 孰为假
and no one can prove which story is true and which is not.
在两个故事里 船都沉了
In both stories, the ship sinks…
我的家人都死了 我受尽了磨难
my family dies and I suffer.
没错
True.
所以你偏爱哪一个
So, which story do you prefer?
有老虎的那一个
The one with the tiger.
那个比较精彩
That’s the better story.
谢谢
Thank you.
所以你跟随上帝
And so it goes with God.
玛玛吉说得对
Mamaji was right.
这故事真了不起
It’s an amazing story.
你真的要让我写吗
Will you really let me write it?
当然
Of course.
这不就是玛玛吉叫你来的原因吗
Isn’t that why Mamaji sent you here, after all?
我太太回来了
My wife is here.
要留下来吃饭吗？她很会做菜
Do you want to stay for dinner? She’s an incredible cook.
我不知道你有妻子
I didn’t know you had a wife.
还有一只猫和两个小孩
And a cat and two children.
所以你的故事结局圆♥满♥
So, your story does have a happy ending.
这取决于你
Well, that’s up to you.
这个故事是你的了
The story is yours now.
“这个充满勇气与毅力的惊人故事”
“Mr. Patel’s is an astounding story of courage and endurance…
“在船难史上独一无二”
unparalleled in the history of shipwrecks.”
“能在海上活这么久的船难者不多”
“Very few castaways can claim to have survived so long at sea…
“更没有人的同伴是一只成年孟加拉虎”
and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger.”
