大市民（1990）

And that’s why I prefer the term “U.H.B.”
所以我认为用“U.H.B.”很好
What? U.H.B.
什么？ U.H.B.
It’s an acronym for urban haute bourgeoisie.
是“城内高级中产阶级”的字头
Is our language so impoverished…
我们的语言已经如此匮乏了吗…
that we have to use acronyms or French phrases to make ourselves understood?
以至于我们得用法语才能表达出我们的想法？
Yes. U.H.B.
是的 U.H.B.
The term is brilliant and long overdue.
这团体会显得有才气
But it’s a bit of a mouthful, isn’t it… U.H.B.?
但是有点拗口，不是吗…U.H.B.？
Wouldn’t it be better just to pronounce it simply “UHB”?
简单说成“UHB”不是更好？
Well, I didn’t expect it to gain immediate acceptance.
我并不希望它会很快被接受
No, no, I think it’s a useful term. The fact that it sounds ridiculous could be part of its appeal.
不，不，我想那很有用，它听起来有点荒谬正是它的写照
You see the world from such lofty heights…
你从这么高的高度观察世界…
that everything below is a bit comical to you, isn’t it?
所有的东西都有点可笑，不是吗？
Yes. You’re so obnoxious.
是的 你真讨厌
I don’t see how you can stand him.
我不理解你为什么站在他一边
You’re always complaining about people being frauds and phonies.
你一直鄙视那些伪君子
Well, this guy is the phony of the decade…
这家伙很伪善…
yet you act like he was your long-lost best friend.
你却表现的好像他是你失散多年的好友似的
Tom Townsend is hardly a phony- just mildly deluded. He’s a perfectly nice guy.

That’s just another aspect of his phoniness. He’s a complete phony.
那只是他的表象，他完全是个伪君子
And when he’s not being a phony, h-he’s a bastard.
如果不是，他就是杂种
Oh, come on.
拉倒吧
You saw how he treated Audrey last night. Audrey seems to have forgotten it.
你看到昨晚他怎么对待奥德丽了 奥德丽已经忘记这事了
She has to act that way. Otherwise, it would be even more humiliating.
她只能表现的这样，否则，那可能更加羞耻
But I don’t have to pretend that Tom Townsend’s a nice guy.
但是我并不需要假装把汤姆·唐萨德当成好人
You’re really gaga about Audrey, aren’t you?
你对奥德丽真是天真，不是吗？
Well, if by “gaga” you mean, “Do I like her?”…
嗯“天真”的意思是“我喜欢她吗”？
yeah.
是的
Well, why don’t you do something about it then…
嗯，那你为什么不做点什么…
instead of just going on and on about what a bastard Tom Townsend is.
而不是背后说汤姆·唐萨德的坏话呢？
What am I supposed to do? Declare myself? That would be an absolute disaster.
我能做什么？表白自己？那会是一场灾难
And don’t think I haven’t thought about these things.
