再来个故事给你听Sal
Hey, here’s another one for you Sal.
有一次 我爬上一列货车从新墨西哥到洛杉矶
One time I jumped a freight from New Mexico clear to L.A.
那时我只有十一岁
And I was 11.
同我父亲走散了 当时我们同一群流浪汉一起
I lost my father along the side, and we were staying in a hobo jungle
住在一片野林子里 几个月都没见着我父亲
and I hadn’t seen him for months.
我到洛杉矶的时候 就想吃点牛奶 想得要命
So, by the time I get to L.A. I’m so starved for milk
后来我在牛奶厂找到了一个工作
that I get a job right in the dairy
我上班先一口气喝了两夸脱的奶油 喝得只想吐
and straight off drink 2 quarts of heavy cream and just puke.
可怜的悲剧的Dean
Poor, tragic Dean.
Dunkel 我想你能和你妻子重逢你一定很高兴吧

嗨 Galatea
Hi, Galatea
滚出我的视线!
Get out of my sight!
你这个禽兽!
You’re an animal!
我去帮太太清扫树枝了
I guess I’ll go help the missus sweep the tree.
混帐!
Ass!
你是Sal 对不对?
You’re Sal, right?
看你反应如何了
It depends.
你知道这些混♥蛋♥对我做了什么马?
Do you know what these bastards did to me?
Dean离开他的妻子和孩子 没留一个子给他们
Dean leaves his wife and baby penniless
因为他想见你
because he wants to visit you.
还牵上Ed这只蠢羊
And Ed, being a sheep wants to tag along.
只因为他们没有钱!
Only they have no money!
于是 Ed问我要钱
So Ed asks me for the money,
我说 “我不会给你的除非我们结婚了”
and I say, “I’m not giving you any unless we’re married.”
然后Dean就说 “嘿 Ed 笨驴
And Dean says, “Hey, Ed, stupid ass.
就跟她结婚啊!”
Marry the broad!
不 我其实也是爱你的 亲爱的……
“No, I do love you too, honey…
闭嘴!
Shut up!
于是 他为几个油钱娶了我!
So he marries me for gas fare!
我们上了车 Dean开汽车来像恶魔撒旦
And we get in the car, and Dean drives like Satan,
还一路都抽大♥麻♥
smoking marijuana the whole way,
他们甚至都不肯停车让我上厕所
and they won’t even let me stop to use the ladies room.
我抱怨之后
And when I say something about it,
他们就把我丢在图森!图森!
they dump me in Tucson. In Tucson!
别这样 Galatea
Come on, Galatea.
我说
I mean.
Dean总有死的一天 那时候你要怎么说他?
Dean will be dead some day and then what can you say to him?
早死早好
The sooner he’s dead, the better.
你去哪儿?
Where were you going?
我能看你俩干那事吗?
Can’t I watch you guys screw?
亲爱的 对不起
Honey, I’m sorry.

A week, a couple of weeks.
我就是想……

“老女人 老女人 老女人 我答道 ”

“哦 往哪里去 往哪里去 往高处去”

“将天空中的蛛网清扫”

我们可以把天空中的蛛网扫下来
and we could brush the cobwebs from the sky.

Well, he drove my mother halfway across the country.
真的?

Dean没有对人的责任感
Dean does not feel responsibility towards others.
他不明白这个概念
He does not know the concept.
然后 他又突然冒出些
Then again, he feels others have
莫名其妙的责任感来从中牟利
some mysterious obligation to support him.
不 我不了 Bull
No, I’m OK, Bull.
我有种说不出的反感
I find it unspeakably distasteful.
但Dean的我行我素给大家带来了该死的好时光
But Dean gives everyone a damn good time just being himself.
他给人的是幻境
He gives illusions.
是把戏
Tricks.
也许那是因为你还没有看到Dean圣洁的一面
Maybe that’s because you’re not seeing what’s really holy about Dean.
噢他倒成了个圣人了!
So he’s a holy man now!
一个在你眼中的信仰人士!
A religious figure in your eyes!
哎呀 Paradise……
