打开心世界（2020）

我怕感冒会传染给你
I worry you’ll catch my cold.
你闻起来像饼干
You smell like a biscuit.
我得回家了
I have to go home.
惊喜与喜悦
Astonishment and joy.
惊喜与喜悦
Astonishment and joy.
惊喜与喜悦
Astonishment and joy.
你什么都没做啊
You haven’t accomplished any of your responsibilities.
你需要帮助吗 不用了
-Do you need assistance? -No, I don’t think so.
所以你还没准备晚餐
So it’s a cold plate for supper tonight?

I’ll milk the cows.
五月三十日(星期五
Friday, May 30th.
阳光穿过树枝
The sunshine streaming through the branches
明暗交错
makes a tremendous farrago of light and shade.
我们保持着友谊逐渐深入
We hold our friendship between us and study it,
就好像那是我们逃跑的残缺地图
as if it were the incomplete map of our escape.
一天结束
When the day is done,
我的思绪就飞向了她
my mind turns to her,
还带着一股特殊的激♥情♥
and I think, with a special heat,
为什么我们注定要分开
“Why are we to be separated?”
你看到我就不笑了是在等别人吗
Your smile stopped. Is it meant for someone else?
对不起我心不在焉
Sorry, my mind was elsewhere.
我们需要印花布钮扣和鞋线
We need calico and buttons and shoe thread.
我这样和你坐在这里是不是打扰你了
Am I troubling you, sitting here with you like this?
点也不
Not at all.
我可能来晚了
I may be late coming to it,
但我学会了为他人着想
but I’ve learned consideration of others.
我明白了人类需要同情
I’ve learned the need for human sympathy
以及对同情的需要 永不满足
and the unfulfilled want of it.
我觉得自己对你表示了同情
I feel I’ve provided you with sympathy.
我想是的
I suppose that’s so.
微笑回来了
The smile returns.
再见
Good day.
哦
Oh.
我相信亲密会增加善意
I believe that intimacy increases goodwill.
如果是这样的话,
And if that’s the case,
然后我们在一起的每一分钟
then every minute we spend together
会让我们成为更快乐的工人
will make us more cheerful workers.
难道我们的农场不会从中受益吗
Won’t our farms benefit from that?
我们的丈夫不会吗
Won’t our husbands?
我们所有的负担都会减轻
All our burdens will be lightened.
她离开的时候 我就像是海上的小船
When she left, I was like a skiff at sea
没有手 也没有舵来引导
with neither hand nor helm to guide it.
他们正在清理岔路口下面的排水沟
They’re cleaning out the drain under the street along the fork.
还有几个人发烧了
And several people are down with fever.
霍尔特过来挂培根
Holt came by to hang the bacon.
他还没从两个陌生人的殴打中恢复过来
He still hasn’t recovered from being beaten by two strangers.
不得不坐着马车回家
He had to be hauled to his home in his cart.
他说凶手本来要杀了他
He said the men who did it were gonna kill him,
然后凶手意识到自己搞错了
and then realized they were mistaken as to who he was.
最近你好像一直在说
Lately, it seems like all you talk about
都是强盗和劫匪
are highwaymen and house breakers.
恰恰相反
On the contrary,
我尊重你的敏感
I often defer to your sensitivities.
我还没告诉你
And I haven’t even told you about
全郡所有的报告
all the reports in the county of men
他们毒杀自己的妻子
who’ve poisoned and killed their wives
因为我觉得 这不是一个合适的晚餐主题
because I haven’t found it a fitting subject for supper.
杀了他们的妻子 他是这么说的吗
“Killed their wives,” he used those words?
嗯 那些话
Mm-hm. those words.
你们有什么分歧吗
Have you had any disagreements?
是的 关于我作为妻子的职责
Yes, about my wifely duties.
我告诉他 我反对我不愿意
I told him that I was opposed to it, that I was not willing.
他接受了吗
And he accepted that?
从那以后他就没碰过我 所以
Well, he hasn’t touched me since, so…
但我让自己感觉好多了
But I made myself feel better…
通过写一首诗
by composing a poem.
我能给你读一下开头的部分吗
Can I read you the opening stanza?

对不起
I’m sorry.
我一直是个反对派 和笨手笨脚的人
I’ve always been contrary and maladroit.
之前我…我觉得
Earlier, I… I felt that…
无论何时我靠近你 你都会撤退
whenever I would draw close to you, you would retreat,
如果我不主动 你才会向前走
and that, if I kept still, you would return
但你会保持距离 就像那些麻雀一样
but you’d stay at a distance, like those sparrows
他们只会呆在农家院子里 不肯进屋
that stay in the farmyard and won’t come into the house.
我不是这么想的 那你是怎么想的
-That’s not how I feel. -How do you feel, then?
我上学的时候
When I was in school,
老师让我和另一个大一点的男孩
the teacher had me read “Cordelia”
分别饰演“考狄利娅”和“李尔王

在表演快结束的时候
Near the end of the play,
国王和他的女儿被囚禁了
the king and his daughter are imprisoned,

“We two alone shall sing like birds in a cage.”
被禁
Imprisoned…
以乐观的方式
In a positive way?
好吧 也许那个人应该读完整本书
Well, maybe that one has to read the entire play.
也许只有在戏剧中
It may be only in plays where people
人们才会乐观地看待被监禁这事儿
are imprisoned in a positive way.
你不觉得这个笼子对我们有好处吗
You don’t think there’s a cage that could work to our benefit?
我只是
I just…

I only know that…
我从来不喜欢笼子
I’ve never liked cages.
