Everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore.
我们坐在家里
We sit in the house

and all we say is, “Please,
至少让我们 在自己家里可以一个人呆着吧
at least leave us alone in our living rooms.
让我可以吃烤面包 可以看电视
Let me have my toaster and my TV,
可以给我的车配上钢制辐板
and my steel-belted radials
我就满足了 就让我一个人呆着就好了

到十月中旬
By mid-October
《霍华德·比厄秀》的收视率已经固定在42%左右了
the Howard Beale Show had settled in on a 42 share
比其他所有电视公♥司♥的新闻节目的收视率总和还要高
more than equaling all the other network news shows combined.
尼尔森收视指数显示《霍华德·比厄秀》
In the Nielsen ratings, the Howard Beale Show
在本月”四大最高收视节目”中排名第四
was listed as the fourth highest rated show of the month
在它前面的只有电视剧《无敌金刚》《四海一家》
surpassed only by The Six Million Dollar Man
和《菲利斯》
All in the Family and Phyllis.
这对于电视新闻节目来说是非比寻常的
A phenomenal state of affairs for a news show.
10月15日 戴安娜·克里斯滕森飞抵洛杉矶
And on October 15, Diana Christensen flew to Los Angeles
其此行目的是和她西海岸的制片负责人开一个会
for what the trade calls powwows and confabs with our West Coast programming execs
同行们把这次会议称为”巫师的会议”
and to get production rolling on the shows
以及立即开始着手 准备下一季的节目
for the coming season. Christ.
老天 你把威廉姆·莫利斯的西海岸
You brought half the William Morris West Coast
工作室差不多一半的人都带来了吧
office along with you.
我是戴安娜·克里斯滕森
Hi, I’m Diana Christensen,
帝♥国♥主♥义♥统治圈里种族主义者的跟班的
a racist lackey of the imperialist ruling circles.
我是劳伦·霍布斯 共♥产♥主义的坏透了的黑人
I’m Laureen Hobbs, a bad-ass commie nigger.
听上去会是友谊的坚实基础
Sounds like the basis of a firm friendship.
我们需要更多椅子 -有人要咖啡吗
-We’re gonna need more chairs. -Anybody want coffee?
我要
I’d love some.
这是我的律师山姆·海伍德
This is my lawyer, Sam Haywood,
这是他的同事梅里尔·格兰特
and his associate, Merrill Grant.
克里斯滕森小姐 到底怎么了
Ms. Christensen, just what the hell’s this all about?
因为 一个这里的蠢才
Because when a national television network
代表一个国家电视台走过来跟我说
in the person of booby here, comes to me
他们想要把受压♥迫♥群众 正在进行的抗争
and says they want to put the ongoing struggle of the oppressed masses
放到黄金时间播出
on prime-time television,
我不得不说我看不起这事儿
I have to regard this askance.
海伍德先生跟我们的客户 霍布斯小姐谈过了
What Mr. Haywood was saying, Ms. Christensen, was that our client
她坦率地说希望节目的政♥治♥内容方面
Ms. Hobbs, wants it up-front that the political content of the show
由她说了算
has to be entirely in her control.
这没问题 我对政♥治♥内容毫不在乎
She can have it. I don’t give a damn about the political content.
那这是个什么节目
What kind of show did you have in mind?
我感兴趣的是基于”普世解♥放♥军♥”
I’m interested in a weekly dramatic series
做一个每周播出的刺♥激♥的系列节目
based on the Ecumenical Liberation Army.
第一♥期♥做成一个两小时的特别节目
And I’ll tell you right now what the first show
专门说玛丽·安·吉福德
has to be: a special on Mary Ann Gifford.
让我告诉你们我想要什么
Let me tell you what I want.
我需要更多像上次”普世解♥放♥军♥”
I want a lot more film
自己提供的抢银行的录影带
like the bank rip-off the Ecumenical sent in.
我是这么想这个节目的
The way I see the series is
每周 我们用一个政♥治♥恐怖组织
each week we open with an authentic act of political terrorism
在现场录制的真实行动的录相开头
taken on the spot, in the actual moment.
然后 讲述这段录像背后的故事
Then we go to the drama behind the opening film footage.
那是你的工作了 霍布斯小姐
That’s your job, Ms. Hobbs.
你得让”普世解♥放♥军♥” 给我们提供录相带
You gotta get the Ecumenicals to bring in that film footage for us.
公♥司♥做不了这事儿
The network can’t deal with them directly.
他们想做 可是找不到
They are, after all, wanted criminals.
“普世解♥放♥军♥”是一个极左的组织
The Ecumenical Liberation Army is an ultra-left sect
用疯狂的暴♥力♥和假的叛乱
creating political confusion
制♥造♥政♥治♥恐慌
with wildcat violence and pseudo-insurrectionary acts
这些共♥产♥党是不会做的
which the Communist Party does not endorse.
美国民众对公开的叛乱 还没有准备好
The American masses are not yet ready for open revolt.
我们不想做这样的节目
We would not want to produce a television show
为历史上误入歧途的恐♥怖♥主♥义♥庆功
celebrating historically deviational terrorism.
我给你提供每周一小时的黄金时间
I’m offering an hour of prime-time television every week
你想做任何宣传都可以
into which you can stick whatever propaganda.
“普世解♥放♥军♥”是一伙无纪律的极左的乌合之众
