大家晚上好 我是奥逊·威尔斯
– Good evening, this is Orson Welles,
欢迎大家收听
inviting you to listen now
史上最古怪的故事之一
to one of the strangest stories ever told.
我一直从我做节目的工资里拿钱出来
I’d been contributing from my radio salary.
一周大概贡献一千美金
I kept putting $1,000 or so every week,
这样我们所有的戏就可以比别人的先播
and we got all our plays on before anybody else
因为我一整天都在电台做节目
because I was doing radio all day long.
你快出去 往下看
You out there! Look down!
看呐
Behold!
声音是
– Sound is the…
婴儿的第一次萌动
first stirring of the infant.
声音能传递一种浪漫的色彩
Sounds have a romance.
无线电就是采用了
Radio was a Medium,
声音这种魔法的媒介
which employed that magic.
我不喜欢你们的书带着我们城市的邮戳
– Man: I don’t like that literature of yours going out
寄到全国各地
all over the country with my town’s postmark on it.
我不想让它成为那些
I don’t like it to be a return address
垃圾反犹太书的退货地址
for all that anti-Semitic garbage.
他从不彩排
– He’d never rehearse.
直接走进来 然后他们说：
He’d walk in,and they’d say,
“中国佬 85岁”
“Chinaman, 85 years old. ”
对不起 先生 但我的身份绝对是…
– Orson Welles character: I’m sorry,sir, but my identity must be…
我经常搭救护车
I used to go by ambulance from one-
从一个电台到另外一个电台
one radio station to another because
因为我发现纽约没有法律规定
I discovered there was no law in New York
你必须生病了才可以坐救护车
that you had to be sick to travel in an ambulance.
影子，你怎么在这儿？
– Man: Shadow. Why are you here?
我早料到你会来这儿了，肯特先生
– I anticipated your performance, Mr. Kent.
《影子》这个故事是怎么来的？
– Interviewer: How did “The Shadow” originate?
在你接这个角色之前…我不知道
– Was it a…- Orson Welles: I don’t know.
就有这部剧了吗？
– a show before you took over the part?
没 没 据我所知
– No, no, I was the original Lamont Cranston,
我是第一个演拉蒙特·克兰斯顿的 但我不愿意..
as far as I know,but I wouldn’t want to…
这部剧不是你写的吧？不 不是 天呐
– But you didn’t write that?- Oh, no, my God,
我都不知道他们怎么写出来的
I didn’t even know how they came out.

《星际战争》那个频道
the Jack Benny commercial was on or something,

那个算是威尔斯事业的转折点
It was the turning point in Welles’ career.
有东西砸到了地面上

当时你意识到这种恐慌的气氛

已经弥漫全国了吗？没有 没有
throughout the nation? – Oh, no, oh, no,
当然没有 我们播过《德古拉》
of course not, we did “Dracula,”
播《德古拉》的时候
and it seemed to me, during “Dracula,”
我非常希望听众会有
I had high hopes that people would react
看类似电影时一样的反应
as they do in a movie of that kind,
我没想到竟一语成谶了
and I don’t know that they did.
整件事情非常有趣
– What scared them is very interesting.
整部剧是以新闻报道的方式播出的
It was all done as news reports.
直到那个时间点
Until that Moment
就是那个家伙描述那个可怕的怪兽的时候
When the guy is describing this horrible monster-
“它出来啦，啊，天呐！”
“It’s coming out,oh, my God! Aah!”
等等 肯定出事儿了

– Orson Welles character: Army bombing plane, V-8-43, off Bayonne, New Jersey,
你不觉得这种
– Don’t you think that somebody here would have
弥漫全国的恐慌
been able to gauge the reaction
本来是可以预料且避免的吗？
which in fact has occurred throughout the United States?
每个节目都希望做到比生活本身更富戏剧性
– Well, every radio program tries to be more dramatic than life.
我的天呐
– Woman:Oh, my gosh!
又来一波飞船！
– Man on radio: There’s another group of spaceships-
是外星人的飞船，从天边冒出来了！

尽管一整晚都在虚张声势

Despite his bravado all evening,
玛努利先生最后还是慌张地跳出了车

我现在正在纽约广播大楼的楼顶

女士们先生们 现在不是在演戏
– This is Orson Welles, ladies and gentlemen.
我 奥逊·威尔斯本人向大家保证
Out of character to assure you
《星际战争》只是一部节日广播剧
that “The War of the Worlds” has no further significance
除此它别无深意
than as the holiday offering it was intended to be.
熙攘的人群就像是新年前夜一般
– reporter:… crowds like New Year’s Eve in the city.
事实上，尽管是无意的，但我们做火星人广播的时候
– Orson Welles: In fact, we weren’t as innocent as we meant to be
并非是完全无辜的
when we did the Martian broadcast.
我们已经厌倦了这点
We were fed up with the way
只要是从那个魔法盒子里播出来的东西
in which everything that came over this new magic box,
