我参加了华盛顿广场的会议
I sat through that meeting about Washington Square,
我现在可以告诉你 你已被打败了
and I can tell you right now you’re beaten.
在空气中弥散着一种新的感知 它会改变这一切的
There’s a new feeling in the air, and it’s going to change things.
你在这场争论中已经输啦
You’ve lost the argument.
当你拒绝承认的时候 你会让我们所有人都没了脸面的
And when you refuse to admit it, you make us all look undignified.
晚安吧
Good night.
是在佩恩·惠特尼精神病院吗？
It’s Payne Whitney?

鲍勃 去谈及你的妻子 也并不是你的软肋
It’s not a weakness, Bob, to talk about your wife.

玛丽嗜酒成性 我还能说什么呢？
Mary’s an alcoholic, what can I say?
她大脑失去控制了 酒已经对她的大脑产生了影响
She’s lost control. The drink has gone to her brain.
它正在侵蚀她的身体
It’s eaten her away.
她要待多久？
How long will she stay?
医生们现在还相信 她不会离开的
The doctors, as of this moment, they don’t believe she will leave.
–你知道我们是怎么在一起的 –是的
– You know how we were together. – Yes.
她给我付账单 给我买♥♥衣服 她还帮我剪头发
She paid my bills, she bought my clothes. Hell, she cut my hair.
我一生中没有什么事不是她为我做的
There’s nothing in my life that she didn’t do for me.
就是这样
There it is.
–哦 鲍勃… –这一生啊
– Oh, Bob… – A lifetime.
不 除了承受打击
No, there’s nothing to be done,
和继续建设之外 我无事可做
except to absorb the blow and continue to build.
–这是我欠她的 –你也许希望我们替你顶替一段时间
– I owe it to her. – Perhaps, you’d like us to cover for you.
–顶替？ –是的 就几天而已
– Cover? – Yes. Just for a few days.
–这样你就可以去陪玛丽了 –不 那没个必要

转变得很慢 但也确实在转变 更糟的还在后面
It’s turning slowly, but it’s turning. Worse is to come.
你是知道我不知道的事吗？你为什么说“开始”？
You know something I don’t? Why do you say ‘beginning’?
当我来到这里时 我发誓我会饶过你的
As I came here, I promised myself I’d spare you.
–为什么？ –因为你的妻子在结婚四十年
– Why? – Because your wife is lying drugged
被药物麻醉 躺在了一个病院里 这就是为什么！
in an institution after 40 years of marriage, that’s why.
我还以为你会说“在四十年的忽视之后”
I thought you were about to say ‘after 40 years of neglect’.

Daily, unspoken. I sit in this room with you. I feel it.
–不 –你在怪我
– No. – You blame me.
–不 –你认为她的病是我的错
– No. – You think her illness is my fault.

– I have never said that. – Implicitly.
就因为我在工作！
Because I work!
除工作外 我什么都不管！顶替我 是吗？
I work and care for nothing else! Cover for me, would you?
你以为我不知道你们背后是怎么议论我的吗？
You think I don’t know what you say about me, behind my back, one to another?
–如果你感到内疚 那是你自己的事 –你认为我是个畜生 但我不是
– If you feel guilty that’s your business. – You think I’m a brute. I am not.
不要把你自己的疑虑归咎在阿里尔或我身上
Don’t blame your own misgivings on Ariel or on me.
–我没有内疚 –很好
– I have no guilt. – Good.
我没有懊悔 我不能逼迫自己产生我没有的感情
I have no remorse. I can’t be bullied into feelings I don’t have.
–我永不会这样的 –只有懦夫才会道歉
– I would never try. – Apologies are for cowards only.
你如何生活是你自己的事

Without once, as I remember, ever once so much as remarking on it.
–我没听到过！从来没有 –我并没有要求被人来议论
– Not in my hearing. Ever. – I have not asked to be remarked upon.

–每一刻！ –你以为我不知道吗？
– Every hour! – Do you think I don’t know that?
他第一天拄着拐杖走进来 你问了什么？
First day he came through on crutches, what did you ask?
什么都没有 你都没有提到过
Nothing. You didn’t mention it.
之后坐上了轮椅 你又只说了一句 “天哪 我们要把门加宽吗？”
Later in a wheelchair. Again, all you ask, ‘Oh, God, will we have to widen the door?’
–我可没这么说！ –那就是你说的话
– I did not say that! – That’s what you said.
–我记忆犹新 就像还在昨天一样！ –我不需要同情
– I remember it as it if were yesterday! – I don’t ask for pity.
我说的不是同情
I’m not talking about pity.
我说的是体贴 摩西先生从来没有给过你的体贴
I’m talking about consideration, and that Mr Moses has never given you.
–我从没抱怨过 –看到了吗？他很好
– I’ve never complained. – See? He’s fine.
我知道 我们只是工作中的同事 仅此而已
I know, we’re all professional colleagues, no more than that.

–与我们不同 他必须去倾听 –那么告诉我他说了什么？
– Unlike us, he has to listen. – So tell me, what did he say?
–太多啦 –具体是？
– Too much. – Specifically?
我担心他透露了修建华盛顿广场的高速公路的真实目的
I fear he has revealed the real purpose of the highway through Washington Square.
–我简直不敢相信！ –恐怕是的
– I can’t believe it. – I’m afraid so.
他怎么能这样做？
Well, how could he do that?
他怎么会蠢到怎么做？天啊 我身边都是白♥痴♥吗？
What foolishness made him do that? God, am I surrounded by idiots?
你还是面对现实吧 你不可能永远保密的
You might as well face it, you can’t keep everything under wraps forever.
–不可能吗？– 这是必然会发生的
– Can’t I? – It was bound to come out.
人们并不傻 他们知道你的野心
People aren’t stupid. They know your ambition.
他们知道你的履历 现在他们有了证据

The horizontal ignored. Look!
–看啊！ –我们不需要看啦 鲍勃
– Look! – We don’t need to look, Bob.
我们都盯着地图看过多少次啦？
How many times have we stared at that map?
我们创造了一个怎样的城市 道路虽是纵横交错
What kind of city have we created where the highways run up and down,

我们讨论过这个问题 我们讨论过很多次了
We’ve discussed this. We’ve discussed it many times.
我们的工作还只完成了一半

西区高速公路 东区高速公路
The West Side Highway, the East Side Highway,
车辆都能够快速地驶向目的地

从东到西？没有！这是在冒犯逻辑和理性
East to west? Nothing! It’s an offence against logic and against reason.
这显然需要着
The need is there, clearly,
