勇往直前（1988）

so he could beat Napoleon.
厉害吧
Ain’t that a bitch?
尼卡：并且扔进苏伊士运河
[Nica] ‘And threw in the Suez canal.’
那改变了，改变了世界
That changed..that changed the world.
劳斯：没有人为此背锅
[Rouse] ‘Ain’t nobody’s fault around here.’
尼卡：那是在美国
[Nica] ‘That was in Europe.’
这里是美国，我会告诉人们他们是谁
This is the United States. I’ll tell people who you are.
她是亿万富翁
She’s a billionaire.
你知道，罗斯查尔德家族
You know, the Rothschild.
她告诉我，她想以最糟糕的方式认识他
[Columby narrating] She told me that she wanted to meet him in the worst way.
我知道她非常需要他
I know that she needed him a lot.
她那么告诉我
She told me that..
她说她感受一种力量的源泉
She said that she would feel a source of strength.
她的背景很有趣
She had an interesting background.
一个女人..，怎么说…
A woman of.. What was it..
在战时，与自♥由♥法国♥军♥队在一起
With the free French army
还有飞行的兰开斯特式轰炸机
and flew Lancaster bombers during the war
参加了戴高乐的抵抗军，像个反叛者
was in De Gaulle’s resistance. Kind of a rebel.
但是奈丽从未把那段关系视作是威胁
But Nellie never saw in that relationship a threat.
有时候奈丽会感到释然
Sometimes Nellie may have felt relieved
塞隆尼斯遇到困难时，她会过来
she came around when Thelonious was a little difficult.
她在分担重负
She was splitting duties.
这不是事先计划好的，只是变成了那样
They didn’t plan that. It just turned into that.
看到舌头了吗？
You see the tongue?
我觉得他有点问题
I think he had a problem.
塞隆尼斯，那是你的领地
Thelonious, that’s your land
只要你放轻松，我觉得。
as you put it, very jauntily, I thought.
尼卡：我在1954年认识的塞隆尼斯
[Nica narrating] I didn’t meet Thelonious until 1954.
飞去巴黎
Flew to Paris
到那儿的时候
and got there just in time
正好是他第1场海外音乐会
for his first overseas concert.
后来我去了后台
And I went backstage afterwards
玛丽·卢·威廉姆斯介绍我认识了他
and Mary Lou Williams introduced me to him.
我就是那样认识他的
That’s how I met him.
我们一起去了舞会
But we hung out and had a ball.
他在那儿呆了大概一周
He was there about a week.
然后我就回纽约了
Then I came back to New York
几个月之后
a couple of months later.
那时候我住在斯坦霍普
I was then living in the Stanhope
乐手们回去那里
and all musicians used to come up there.
后来一个女孩在那儿死掉了，他们就把我赶了出来。
But after a bird died there, they threw me out.
你接午后场的演出吗？
Did you do the matinee?
星期天？
On Sunday?
– 不接吗？ – 嗯。
– No? – Mm-mmm.
不接，太多了
No. Too much.
后来我去了玻利瓦尔（位于纽约州 阿利根尼县）
Then I went to the Bolivar.
我在那儿得到了我的钢琴
And that’s when I got my piano.
塞隆尼斯和我一起搞到的
Thelonious and I got it together.
他就是在那儿写出了《Brilliant Corners》
That’s where he wrote brilliant corners
我记得还有“Bolivar Balues Are”
and “Bolivar Balues Are”, I believe.
晚上我们回去俱乐部
At night we’d go out ’round the clubs
然后和所有的乐手一起回玻利瓦尔
then all musicians would come back with us to the Bolivar
我们会一起玩很棒的即兴
and we’d have these fantastic jam sessions
一直到第二天早上八♥九♥点钟
until 8:00 or 9:00 the next morning.
所以，自然的，最终惹了麻烦
So, of course, eventually that caused trouble
我被从那儿赶走了。
and I was thrown out of there.
然后我们决定要有自己的房♥子
Then we decided I’d get a house of my own.
于是我买♥♥了这座房♥子
And I got this house..
原先塞隆尼斯认为这里叫做“猫村”
…which was known at first by Thelonious as “Catville”.
蒙克：嗨，大家好
[Monk narrating] Hi, everybody.
今天很高兴在这里
I’m very glad to be here today.
我打算演奏..
And I would like to play
不久前写的一小段音乐
a little tune I composed not so long ago
标题是”Pannonica”
entitled “Pannonica”.
我以这位美丽女士为其命名
It was named after this beautiful lady here.
我觉得她父亲给她起了这个名字
I think her father gave her that name..
..呃，在他试图捉住一只蝴蝶后
…uh, after a butterfly that he tried to catch.
我觉得他最后没有捉到
I don’t think he caught the butterfly.
总之，这就是我写的东西
But anyway, here’s the number I composed
以她命名——”Pannonica”
named after her. “Pannonica”.
“[法语]非常感谢”，女士们，先生们
Merci beaucoup, ladies and gentlemen.
尼卡：谢谢，塞隆尼斯·蒙克
[Nica narrating]Thank you,Thelonious Monk.
和♥弦♥是什么？
What are the chords?
[playing notes]
降D？
‘D flat?’
嗯，对，降D。嗯。
Uh, yeah. D flat. Mm-hmm.
– G？ – D，降D。
– G? – D. D flat.
那就是说我的是降E。
That means my E flat.
什么降E？什么降D？

呃，降D属7和♥弦♥。
Uh, D flat 7.

G小调属7转到降D
‘G minor 7 to D flat.’
没错
Yeah.
G小调属7
‘G minor 7.’
G小调属7。A小调属7
‘G minor 7. A minor 7.’
然后呢？转到降D
‘To what? To D flat.’
那就是每个和♥弦♥2拍
That’s two beats apiece.
对
Yeah.
之后下一个小节是..
And then the next bar is..
下半个小节是降G属7.
The next half of the bar is G flat 7.
– 啥？ – 降D属7.
– ‘Huh?’ – D flat 7?
降G，降G。
– ‘G flat.’ – ‘G flat.’
降G
G flat.
那就变成了“波波的生日”，第三版
This’ll be “Boo Boo’s Birthday”, take three.
