曼哈顿（1979）

《曼哈顿》
第一章 他崇拜纽约城
Chapter one: He adored New York City.
他无以复加地将其偶像化 啊 不 还是这样…
He idolized it all out of proportion. Uh, no, make that…
他无以复加地将其浪漫化 这样好多了
he romanticized it all out of proportion… better.
对他来说 无论处于哪个季节 这座城市总是展现出…
To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed…
黑白的色调 并和着乔治·格什温的伟大曲调而律动
in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.
啊 不 还是从新来一遍
Uh, no, let me start this over.
第一章 他对曼哈顿的感觉…
Chapter one: He was too romantic…
过于浪漫 就像他对其他事物一样
about Manhattan as he was about everything else.
他在行色匆匆的人群和 熙来攘往的交通中如鱼得水
He thrived on the hustle bustle of the crowds and the traffic.
对他来说 纽约意味着美丽的女人
To him, New York meant beautiful women
和那些对城市里的所有机关…
and street-smart guys…
都了然于胸的精明之士
who seemed to know all the angles.
不 不好 有点傻冒… 太傻冒了 不是我的风格
Nah, no, corny… too corny for my taste.
让我试着把它整得更深邃一点 第一章
Let me try and make it more profound. Chapter one:
他崇拜纽约城 对他来说 它就像一个隐喻
He adored New York City. To him, it was a metaphor…
象征着当代文化的衰败
for the decay of contemporary culture.
与当代文化一样 个性人格的缺失…
The same lack of individual integrity…
不仅导致了芸芸众生的 不思进取和随波逐流
that caused so many people to take the easy way out…
而且正迅速地 将他的梦中之城变成…
was rapidly turning the town of his dreams in…
不 这样也太说教了 还是面对现实吧
No, it’s gonna be too preachy. Let’s face it,
我是要把我的书卖♥♥掉
I wanna sell some books here.
第一章 他崇拜纽约城
Chapter one: He adored New York City…
尽管对他来说 它就像一个隐喻 象征着当代文化的衰败
although to him, it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture.
它的存在是多么地艰难 在这样一个已经被毒品
How hard it was to exist in a society desensitized…
喧闹的音乐 电视 犯罪 和垃圾弄得麻木不仁的社会中
by drugs, loud music, television, crime, garbage.
太愤怒 我可不想这么愤怒
Too angry. I don’t wanna be angry.
第一章 他与他所爱的城市一样 既坚韧又浪漫
Chapter one: He was as tough and romantic as the city he loved.
在他的黑框眼镜之后 盘绕着的是丛林猫般的性能力
Behind his black-rimmed glasses was the coiled sexual power of a jungle cat.
这个我喜欢 纽约是他的城市
I love this. New York was his town.
一如既往地属于他
And it always would be.
“伊莱恩餐馆”
我认为艺术的本质 是给人们提供…
I think the essence of art is to provide…
某种拨云见日的本领 你知道 这样…
a kind of working through the situation for people, you know, so that…

Listen to this example I’m gonna give.
假如我们四个回家时路过一座桥
If the four of us are walking home over the bridge…
而这时在水里正好有个人快淹死了
and then there was a person drowning in the water…
我们当中会有人 有胆量潜入冰冷的水中
would one of us have the nerve to dive into the icy water…
救起这个正在溺水的人吗?
and save the person there from drowning?
因为这是个关键的问题
That’s a key question.
当然我不会游泳 所以我没什么可选择的
I, of course, can’t swim, so I never have to face it.
我们当中谁会去救呢?
Which of us would do it?
-你想再来一点吗? -不用了
-You want a little more? -No.

我知道我不抽烟 我不吸进去 因为那样会致癌
I know I don’t smoke. I don’t inhale because it gives you cancer…
可是我拿烟的姿势潇洒极了
but I look so incredibly handsome with a cigarette…
我不得不拿一支
that I can’t not hold one.
我知道的 你喜欢我的姿势吗? 我知道
I know this. You like the way I look? I know.
