Why are you dressed as a milkman?
你怎麼穿得像個送牛奶的？


- 是工作，校長，假期打工 - 送牛奶？
- Working, sir. For the 'olidays. - As a milkman?


假期結束後你們就得回來 為牛津和劍橋大夢而奮鬥
After the holidays you'll be coming back to try for Oxford and Cambridge.


你們是有史以來成績最好的學生 老師希望你們進一步學習
Your A-level results are the best we've ever had,

and they demand that you return for an extra term


為歷史悠久大學的考試而努力
to work for the examination to our ancient universities.

(cheering and yelling)

- 那麼我們還得再見面了？ - 是，老師
So, we shall be meeting again after all.

- (all) Yes, sir. - At school you don't get parole.

學海無涯 學得越好就待得越久

Good behavior just brings a longer sentence.

- Ah, you poor boys. - See you next term, sir.

- 可憐哪 - 老師，下學期見


(buzz of conversation)

謝謝你，老師
Thank you, Miss.


「最開心的年輕之心 眼見自己不斷進步」
"The happiest youth, viewing his progress through,


「度過難關，接踵而來的」
What perils past, what crosses to ensue,


「是闔上書本 坐下來安然逝去」
Would shut the book and sit him down and die."


恭喜你，桃樂絲 你一定很滿意吧
Congratulations, Dorothy. You must be very pleased.


( "This Charming Man" by The 史密斯s)

早安哪
Morning!


歷史系

達肯，給你們五分鐘 去沾沾自喜吧
(Mrs. Lintott) You are entitled, though only for five minutes, Dakin,

to feel pleased with yourselves.


沒有人有過這麼好的成績 無論是英語或是科學
No one has done as well. Not in English, not in science,


甚至是媒體學也一樣
not even, dare I say it, in media studies.


只有你們夠格考牛津和劍橋
And you alone are up for Oxford and Cambridge.


開始讀書吧，這學期第一篇 文章題目是宗教改革運動
So, to work. First essay this term will be the Church on the eve of the Reformation.

- (groans) Not again, Miss. - This is Oxford and Cambridge.

- 別這樣，老師 - 現在是為了牛津和劍橋


你們不只是要知道，還得 倒背如流，提姆斯，注重事實
You don't just need to know it, you need to know it backwards, Timms. Facts, facts, facts.


他們天資聰穎，但也粗魯極了
They're clever, but they're crass.


要是考布里斯托或約克 我一點都不擔心
And were it Bristol or York, I'd have no worries.


可是這攸關牛津和劍橋
But Oxford and Cambridge?


我們需要訂定策略，桃樂絲 要有個計畫
We need a strategy, Dorothy, a game plan.


- 他們知道自己該學些什麼 - 但他們缺少鑑賞力
- They know their stuff. - But they lack flair.


赫克托教他們文化
Culture they can get from Hector.


你教歷史，但是…
History from you, but...


我要說心裡話了
I'm thinking aloud now.


還缺什麼呢？
Is there something else?


想想魅力與優雅氣質
Think charm, think polish.


Think... Renaissance man.
想想文藝復興時期的理想完人


讓我想辦法，桃樂絲
Leave it with me, Dorothy, leave it with me.


好的，校長
Yes, Headmaster.


(knocking)

維爾克斯
Wilkes.


Ah, yes. An innovation to the timetable.
是的，一份新的課程表


- PE. - Yes, Headmaster.
- 體育課 - 是的，校長


For the Oxbridge set. "Surely not", you say. But why not?
為了劍橋牛津班 你說不用，但為什麼不呢？


這是他們生命中最艱難的考驗 我希望他們個個生龍活虎
This is the biggest hurdle of their lives and I want them... galvanized.


Galvanized. Yes, Headmaster.
生龍活虎，沒問題，校長


在課程表中 我們敬重的校長
In the timetable, our esteemed headmaster


給這堂課起了 「綜合研究」這曖昧的名字
has given these periods the dubious title of "general studies".


告訴你們秘密吧，孩子們
I will let you into a little secret, boys.


根本沒有什麼綜合研究
There is no such thing as general studies.


那只是浪費時間
General studies is a waste of time.


知識馬虎不得 那是非常細緻的
Knowledge is not general, it is specific.


和事業成功無關
And nothing to do with getting on.


但是記住 「所有知識都是寶貴的
But remember, open quotation marks, "All knowledge is precious


whether or not it serves the slightest human use", close quotation marks.
不管對人類的貢獻是多麼微薄」


這話是誰說的？ 阿卡特？提姆斯？
Who said, Akhtar? Timms?


Lockwood, Dakin? (sighs)
洛克伍德？達肯？


「美麗的櫻桃樹盛開…」
"Loveliest of trees, the cherry now..."


- 是霍斯曼 - 正是霍斯曼
- A Housman, sir. - "AE Housman, sir."


老師，他是不是同志？
Wasn't he a nancy, sir?


污穢、骯髒、卑鄙、小蕩婦 不要用這些字眼
Foul, festering, grubby-minded little trollop.

- Do not use that word. - But you use it, sir.

- 但老師你也用了 - 沒錯，但我已經是個糟老頭了

I do, sir, I know. But I am far gone in age and decrepitude.


Er, you're not supposed to hit us, sir. We could report you.
你可不能打學生，老師 我們可以告狀的


我知道
I know, I know.


給我們一些尊重 現在的我們是獎學金候選人呢
You should treat us with more respect. We're scholarship candidates now, sir.


- 要上牛津和劍橋的咧 - 為什麼要上呢？
- We're all going in for Oxford and Cambridge. - Oxford and Cambridge! What for?


- 老問題了，老師，問都不用問 - 不，是因為大家都想去
Old, sir. Tried and tested.

No! It's because other boys want to go there.


It's the hot ticket, standing room only.
那是個熱門首選


- 你念哪裡的，老師？ - 雪菲爾大學
- Where did you go, sir? - I went to Sheffield.


我過得很開心
- I was happy! - (sniggering)


「歡樂就在英格蘭 讓她樸實的女兒們更甜美」
"Happy is England, sweet her artless daughters;


Enough her simple loveliness for me." Keats.
「讓她對我簡單的愛更加充實」 出自詩人濟慈


不會考我們這個吧
We won't be examined on that, will we, sir?


- 濟慈？ - 歡樂
- Keats? - Happiness.


(approaching footsteps)

- 你是？ - 爾文
- You are? - Irwin.

- Irwin? - The temporary contract teacher.

約聘教師


Quite so.
是的


考試會在學期末 我們最多有三個月的時間
The examinations are at the end of term,

which gives us, er... three months, at the outside.


- 你待過劍橋，該知道這些的 - 是牛津，基督學院
- You were at Cambridge. You know the form. - Oxford. Jesus.


我想過去就讀，但那時是５０年代
You see... I-I thought of going.

But this was the... the '50s.


變化無處不在，人人都想冒險
Change was in the air, and a spirit of adventure.


後來你去了哪？
So, where did you go?


我是個地理學家，去了赫爾大學
I was a geographer. I went to Hull.


他們都是些很有希望的年輕人 充滿了激情
They're a likely lot, the boys. Erm, erm...

All keen. One oddity - Rudge.

有一個有點古怪，洛吉


一心要考牛津基督學院
Determined to try for Oxford. Christ Church, of all places.


但沒什麼希望 拉夫堡大學倒是有可能
(laughs) No hope. No.

Might get into Loughborough, in a bad year. (laughs)


Er... otherwise, all bright.
其它都聰明非凡，只是還需磨練

But they need polish.


產生優勢
Edge. Your job.

那麼你的工作


We're low in the league.
我們學校評價不高，我期待進入 曼徹斯特文法學校之流

I want to see us up there with Manchester Grammar School, Haberdasher Askes,

像阿斯科商學院


Leighton Park.
還有雷頓派克


那是座開放式監獄嗎？
Or is that an open prison?


No matter.
不重要


在歷史方面還有欠缺
There is a vacancy, in history.


那是事實
That's very true.


我是說學校中還有缺
In the school.


- Ah. - (both laugh nervously)

爾文，幫我贏得獎學金
Get me scholarships, Irwin.


讓我們崛起就是你的工作
Pull us up the table and it's yours.


我們課程緊湊極了
I-I'm corseted by the curriculum.


但你一週能來上三節課
But I can find you, er... three lessons a week.


- 還不夠 - 我同意
- Not enough. - (stammers) Yes, I agree. However...

不過我知道應該還能 再挪出一小時

I think I know where we can filch an hour.


 Elle 閏oute la java

 Mais elle ne la danse pas

 Elle ne regarde m阭e pas la piste

 Mais ses yeux amoureux

 Suivent le jeu nerveux et les doigts secs et longs de l'artiste

 莂 lui rentre dans la peau

 Par le bas, par le haut

 Elle a envie de chanter C'est physique

 Tout son 阾re est tendu

L'anglais c'est interdit. Ici, on ne parle que fran鏰is.

我們正在做重要的假設句 和條件句 句型練習

En accordant une importance particuli鑢e au subjonctif.

- Enchant? - Enough of this silliness! No, not silliness!
夠了，別說愚蠢的外國話 不是說你們


- 這些學生是要上牛津劍橋的 - 沒人告訴我
Mr. Hector, you are aware these pupils are Oxbridge candidates?

Nobody's told me.


Mr. Irwin will be coaching them, but it's a question of time.
爾文會為他們授課 但是時間太少了


我替他安排一週上三節課 可是我想…只是暫時的
I've found him three lessons a week, but I was wondering... Purely on a temporary basis.


- 這是最後一次 - 上次你也說是最後一次
- The last time, I promise. - Last time was the last time.


- I'm thinking of the boys. - I am, too. No, absolutely not. No. No, no, no.

- (bell rings) - Fuck.
可惡

Now, who goes home?
現在誰要回家？


我可以送他一程
Well, surely I can give somebody a lift.


- 誰要坐后座？達肯？ - 不，我要到市區去

- Akhtar? - Er... computer club, sir.

- It's never me. - You're too young still.


總會有那一天 至少你已經成熟了
It will happen. Now that you've achieved puberty.


要是天再黑一點的話
If rather late in the day.


赫克托可能會把手放在你膝蓋上
Mr. Hector is likely, at some point, to try and put his hand on your knee.


所以說赫克托是個可悲的同性戀
This is because Mr. Hector is a homosexual and a sad fuck.


The drill is to look at the hand and go, "And what does Mr. Hector want?"
考驗就是看著他的手想答案 「赫克托想做什麼」


可是沒有答案 事情就是這樣
Well, he has no answer for this and so will desist.


縮一下
Thrutch up.


- I just think I should have been told. - He comes highly recommended.
- 應該有人先告訴我 - 他有人大力推薦


- 克利夫斯的安妮也是 - 誰？
- So did Anne of Cleves. - Who?


- 他跟得上時代，能因應現在 - 我以為歷史是「過去」吧
He's up to the minute, Dorothy, more "now".

Now? I thought history was "then".


菲力克斯
Felix.


克利夫斯的安妮 她是什麼人？
Anne of Cleves. Remind me.


- 亨利八世的第四任妻子 - 當然了
- Fourth wife of Henry VIII, sir. - Of course.


She was the one they told him was Miss Dish,
他們說她美若天仙


結果卻是奇醜無比
only, when she turned up, she had a face like the wrong end of a camel's turd.


Quite so.
沒錯


- 你怎麼了，小伙子？ - 我有請假單
- What's the matter with you, lad? - Oh, I've got a note, sir.


花多少錢買的？
How much for? (laughs) I don't do notes. Get changed.

沒有請假這種事，去換衣服


- 老師… - 上帝也從不請假
- Sir... - God doesn't do notes either.


Did Jesus say, "Can I be excused the Crucifixion?" No.
耶穌有沒有說過 「我能不能不上十字架？」沒有


事實上，我想他說過
Actually, sir, I think he did.


去換衣服 有一天你會因此得救的
Change! One day it will save your life.


運動才不能救命 只是會延後死期
Nothing saves anyone's life, sir. It just postpones their death.


主耶穌會拯救你，年輕人 只要你打從內心接受他
Jesus Christ will save your life, lad,

if you only let him into your heart!


我是猶太人
I'm Jewish, sir.


我是回教徒
I'm Muslim, sir.


非常好
- Very good. - (applause)


Most excellent.
棒極了


(all) Ooooh!

繼續
Go on!


Lad, lad, lad!
朋友們


你在侮辱你自己，侮辱上帝
You're letting yourself down, you're letting God down.


- 這又關上帝什麼事？ - 聽著，小子，這軀殼不屬於你
- What's God got to do with it? - Listen, boy, this isn't your body.


- 不屬於我？ - 沒錯，是上帝借給你的
- No? - No!

This body is on loan to you from God.


- 我操 - 我聽到了，做２０下
- Fuck me. - I heard that! Give me 20.


20 what? Hail 瑪莉s?
２０下什麼？念聖母瑪利亞？


快點
Do it.


你們遲到了，去換衣服
- You're late. Get your kit off. - I'm on the staff.

- 我是教師 - 我從沒見過你

- (laughing) - Well, I've never seen you.


What's this?
這是什麼？


- 要幫忙嗎？ - 你看得懂嗎？
- Do you need a hand with that, sir? - Is it joined-up writing?


林托特老師交給我 你們最近寫的文章
Mrs. Lintott's given me a view of some of your latest essays.


內容有趣，但文章不怎麼樣
The experience was interesting. The essays not. Dull.

很枯燥


Dull. Abysmally dull.
超枯燥的


這篇寫凱旋的內容 是最枯燥的一篇
A triumph. The dullest of the lot.


- 所有重點我都寫了 - 我沒說「錯」，我說「枯燥」
- I got all the points. - I didn't say it was wrong. I said "dull".


- 差得難以置信 - 你的字很難看
- Its sheer competence was staggering. - You've got crap handwriting.


那是你視力有問題 我們都知道是為什麼
It's your eyesight that's bad and we know what causes that.

Sir! Is that a coded reference to the mythical dangers of self-abuse?

你是在暗示說打手槍嗎？


- 也許我是在說笑呀 - 說笑？
- It might even be a joke! - (Dakin) A joke, sir?


Oh. Are jokes gonna be a feature? We need to know as it affects our mindset.
笑話也是上課內容嗎？ 那會影響我們的心智


你不會反對「心智」這個詞吧
You don't object to our using the expression "mindset", do you, sir?


赫克托老師就會在意
Mr. Hector doesn't care for it.


宗教改革時期，教堂保有 １４個包皮據說都屬於耶穌
At the... er... at the time of the Reformation, there were 14 foreskins of Christ preserved,

但人們認為真品其實是存放在 羅馬的聖約翰拉特蘭教堂

but it was thought the Church of St. John Lateran in Rome had the authentic prepuce.

Don't think we're shocked by your mention of the word "foreskin", sir.

別以為「包皮」這名詞 會嚇到我們

才不會，我們之中有人就還有呢

No, sir. Some of us even have them.


不是波斯納，因為他是猶太人 他不會有這種東西的
Not Posner, though, cos he's, well... Jewish. It's one of several things he doesn't have.


- 閉嘴！ - 那可不是種族歧視
- Fuck off. - That's not racist, though, sir.


- 不是嗎？ - 和種族有關，但並非歧視
- Isn't it? - It's race-related. But not racist.


有人去過羅馬或威尼斯嗎？
Has anybody been to Rome or Venice?


佛羅倫斯？沒有
Florence? No.


別的考生一定會去 並寫下他們的所見所聞
The other candidates will have been and have done courses on what they've seen.


因此也會知道，要寫下有關 教會處於宗教改革時期的文章
So they'll know, when they do an essay on the Church at the time of the Reformation,


這些有關包皮的廢話 就能大作文章
that, oh, look, some silly nonsense on the foreskins of Christ will come in handy,


所以他們的文章，不像你們的 絕不會那麼枯燥
so that their essays, unlike yours, will not be dull.


文章並不糟糕，只是枯燥極了 你們沒希望的
They're not even bad, they're just boring. You haven't got a hope.


- 那又何必大費周章準備功課？ - 不知道，你來說說
- So, why are we bothering? - I don't know. You tell me.


你們想要、你們父母想要 校長當然也期盼你們錄取
You want it. Your parents want it. The headmaster, he certainly wants it.


而我？我不會這麼浪費錢 只要能上紐卡素就很開心了
Me? I wouldn't waste the money. I'd go to Newcastle and be happy.


- Of course, there is another way. - Oh! How?
- 當然，也有其它方法 - 怎麼樣？


- 作弊 - 也許吧
- Cheat! - Possibly.


- Dakin. - Sir?
- 達肯 - 什麼事？


別再不爽了，我們沒時間了
Don't take the piss. There isn't time.


- 真是個自命不凡的人 - 當老師的就是這樣
- What a wanker. - They all have to do it, don't they?


- 什麼這樣？ - 表現得自己無所不知
- Do what? - Show you they're still in the game.


- 大談包皮什麼的，這個惡魔 - 他只比我們大沒多少
Foreskins and stuff. "Oh, sir, you devil."

Have a heart. He's only five minutes older than we are.


What happened with Hector, on the bike?
赫克托在車上有什麼動作嗎？


一如以往 不過我將書包放在腿上
As per. Except I managed to get my bag down.


他以為是他勾起我的性趣 其實是我的都鐸經濟論第二卷
I think he thought he'd got me going,

but, in fact, it was my Tudor Economic Documents, Volume Two.


(laughs)

( "Mustapha Dance" by The Clash)

那麼一次大戰 能告訴我們什麼？
So, let's summarize. The First World War, what points do we make?


塹壕戰場
- Trench warfare. - Mountains of dead.

- 屍體堆積成山 - 雙方都是

- On both sides. - Generals stupid.

- 愚蠢的將軍 - 雙方都是

- On both sides. - Armistice. Germany humiliated.

- 停戰，德軍蒙羞 - 繼續講

- Keep it coming. - Mass unemployment. Inflation.

- 失業 - 通貨膨脹


威瑪共和國垮臺，混亂不堪 希特勒崛起
Collapse of the Weimar Republic, internal disorder, the rise of Hitler.


所以我們的結論是 二次大戰的起源
So our conclusion is that the origins of the second war


是因為對一次大戰的結果不滿意
lie in the unsatisfactory outcome of the first.


- 是的 - 棒極了
- Yes. Yes. - First class.


布里斯托大學 會敞開懷抱歡迎你們
Bristol welcomes you with open arms.


曼徹斯特渴望你們的加入 里茲大學更是如此
Manchester longs to have you. You can walk into Leeds!


我待過麥格達倫學院 讀完７０篇同樣的論文都快睡著了
But I'm the fellow of Magdalene College,

I've just read 70 papers saying the same, and I'm asleep.


- 那都是事實 - 事實又如何？
- But it's all true. - What's truth got to do with it?


事實又怎麼樣？
What's truth got to do with anything?


- 這位新老師好像挺聰明的 - 是的，超優秀
- (Mrs. Lintott) The new man seems clever. - He does. Depressingly so.


- 你不是考過牛津？ - 是劍橋
- Didn't you try for Oxford? - Cambridge.


校園迴廊，古老的圖書館
Cloisters. Ancient libraries.


我以為身處古老的建築 就是學習
I was confusing learning with the smell of cold stone.


即使我去了也不會理解 個中分別
If I had gone I'd probably never have worked out the difference.


杜倫大學的歷史系頗為知名 我在那第一次吃披薩
Durham was very good for history. It's where I had my first pizza.


當然還有其它事物 但那裡的披薩是最棒的
Other things too, of course, but it's the pizza that stands out.


Er, Dakin's a good-looking boy, though somehow sad.
達肯很不錯，就是有些憂鬱


你總是認為他們憂鬱，赫克托 沒有一次不是如此
You always think they're sad, Hector. Every, every time.


Actually, I wouldn't have said he was sad, I would have said he was cunt-struck.
我不認為他憂鬱 只能說他是很迷人性感


桃樂絲
Dorothy.


我以為你會喜歡 復合形容詞
I'd have thought you'd have liked that. It's a compound adjective.


- 你喜歡復合形容詞 - 是呀
- You like compound adjectives. - Yeah.


- 四處閒逛了 - 哦，是的
- Oh. Going walkabout. - Oh, yeah.


事實是１９１４年德國不想打仗
The truth was, in 1914, Germany doesn't want war.


當時有人挑起戰火 是英國指使的
Yeah, there's an arms race, but it's Britain who's leading it.


為什麼沒有人承認這個？
So, why does no one admit this?


That's why. The dead.
原因就是死亡


死了太多人
The body count.


我們不願承認戰爭我們有錯 因為我們死了很多人
We don't like to admit the war was even partly our fault cos so many of our people died.


所有的悲痛都掩蓋了事實 不是怕我們忘記，是怕我們想起
And all the mourning's veiled the truth. It's not "lest we forget", it's "lest we remember".


That's what all this is about - the memorials, the Cenotaph, the two minutes' silence.
所以才會有這些紀念館 戰爭紀念碑、兩分鐘的默哀


紀念是讓人遺忘的最好方法
Because there is no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it.


As for the truth, Scripps, forget it.
至於事實，斯科普，忘掉吧


在考試中，事實不是最重要的
In an examination, truth's not an issue.


你真的相信這個 還是你試圖讓我們相信？
You really believe this, sir? Or are you just trying to make us think?


史詩不是耍嘴皮子
Can't explain away the poetry, sir.


- 藝術總是最後的贏家 - 這個怎麼樣？
- Art wins in the end. - What about this one, sir?


「一系列長短不齊的詩句 耐心地等待著」
"Those long, uneven lines Standing as patiently

「彷彿整個環繞著 別墅的花園」

As if they were stretched outside The Oval or Villa Park,


The crowns of hats, the sun On mustached archaic faces
「一片的帽海中，陽光映照著 滿是鬍鬚古老的臉龐」

「咧嘴笑著 有如假期的歡樂」

Grinning as if it were all An August Bank Holiday lark."


「前所未有的純真 不管是以前還是以後
"Never such innocence, Never before or since,


正如同變化本身 無時無刻默默地發生」
As changed itself to past Without a word."


「花園是如此整潔」
"The men leaving the gardens tidy."


「無數的婚姻只能維持片刻」
"The thousands of marriages Lasting a little while longer."


「再也不要如此天真」
"Never such innocence again."


這些你們怎麼會倒背如流？
How come you know all this by heart?


這些也無法回答問題的
Not that it answers the question.


「光榮殉職」的人就不談了
So much for our "glorious dead".


是呀
Quite.


Actually, Fiona's my Western front.
事實上我要征服的是費奧娜


例如昨晚
Well, last night, for instance.


我還以為要大推進呢
I thought it might be the big push.


遭遇到象徵性的抵抗
So, encountering only token resistance,


我決定勘測實際地點
I reconnoitered the ground as far as the actual place.


- 胡扯 - 不，我是說沒發生
- Shit! - No, I mean not onto it.


- 當然沒進去，只是在上面 - 操
- Certainly not into it. Up to it. - Fuck.


比喻太貼切了
And the metaphor really fits.


我是說繼續向前線前進時
I mean, moving up to the front,


部隊可能要經過原來的戰場
troops presumably had to pass the sites of previous battles.


我就是如此
Well, so it is with me.


比如她的雙峰 三個星期前剛剛攻克
Like particularly her tits, which only surrendered about three weeks ago.


也是向南挺進的開始
And which were indeed the start line of a determined thrust southwards.


怎麼了？
What's the matter?


- 那是禁地 - 操
- No-man's-land. - Ah, fuck.


那我該怎麼做？
So, what do I do with this?


有控制的爆破行動？
Carry out a controlled explosion?


當然，至少我比菲力克斯還行
Still, at least I'm doing better than Felix.


- 菲力克斯？ - 不會吧
- Felix? - No!


他在嘗試 一直想引她上
Tries to. Chases her around the desk.

No!


不過比喻不恰當
Actually, the metaphor isn't exact


因為費奧娜可能在進行一場 預謀好的撤退
because what Fiona is presumably carrying out is a planned withdrawal.


你沒強迫她 她也不畏強權
You're not forcing her, she's not being overwhelmed by superior forces.


- 她喜歡你嗎？ - 當然
- Does she like you? - Course she likes me.


所以你沒有爭奪領地 只是商討佔領的步驟
Then you're not disputing the territory, just negotiating over the pace of the occupation.


攻佔柏林後讓我們知道
Just let us know when you get to Berlin.


我開始更喜歡他了
I'm beginning to like him more.


- Who, me? - Irwin. Though he hates me.
- 誰，我？ - 是爾文，雖然他不喜歡我


吉米
吉米!


開心點，至少他和你說話了
(Scripps) Cheer up. At least he speaks to you.


很多人連話都不和你說
Most guys wouldn't even speak to you.


- Love can be very irritating. - How do you know?
- 愛情可能會讓人神志不清 - 你怎麼知道？


我就是這樣看上帝的
That's what I always think about God.


受到這麼多人崇拜 他一定整天神魂顛倒
He must get so pissed off, everyone adoring him all the time.


是的 可是上帝不會急著脫褲子
Yes. Only you don't catch God poncing about in his underpants.

( "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" by Hart and 羅傑斯)


(Posner) I'm wild again

 Beguiled again

 A simpering, whimpering child again

 Bewitched, bothered and bewildered

 Am I

 Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep

 When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep

 Bewitched, bothered and bewildered

 Am I

 Lost my heart, but what of it?

 He is cold, I agree

 He can laugh but I love it

 Although the laugh's on me

 I'll sing to him

 Each spring to him

 And worship the trousers that cling to him

 Bewitched, bothered and bewildered

 Am I

唱得好，波斯納
Well done, Posner.


現在來讀一些傳統詩句
And now for some poetry of a more traditional sort.


Oh, God!
上帝呀


提姆斯，你做什麼？
Er, Timms, w-w-what is this?


老師，我不想理解詩歌
Sir, I don't always understand poetry.


你不想理解？ 提姆斯，我從來都不理解
You don't always understand it? Timms, I never understand it.


But learn it now, know it now, and you will understand it, whenever.
但現在學習，開始了解 你早晚會理解的


我們要如何理解？ 詩歌所說的我們都沒經歷過
I don't see how we can understand it.

Most of what poetry's about hasn't happened to us yet.


會的，提姆斯，你會經歷到的
But it will, Timms, it will.


到時候你會有所準備 痛苦、歡樂，甚至你死的時候
And when it does, you'll have the antidote ready.

Grief, happiness, even when you're dying.

We're making your deathbeds here, boys.

現在來看看臨終之時吧


Er, we've got an ending, sir.
我們有一場戲碼

Oh! Goody! Yes, well... Be sharp. Where's the kitty?

好啊，那就快點，演員呢？

(mumbling)


我們得吸菸
And we have to smoke, sir.


我碰巧有一些
And I happen to have some, sir.


好吧
- Very well. - (piano)


傑瑞，幫我一下
(as woman) 傑瑞, please help me.


Shall we just have a cigarette on it?
- 可不可以先點根煙？ - 好的

Yes!


我可以偶爾過來嗎？
May I sometimes come here?


只要你喜歡，這也是你的家 還有愛著你的人
Whenever you like. It's your home too. There are people here who love you.


- 你開心嗎，夏洛特？ - 傑瑞，月亮你不必摘給我
And will you be happy, Charlotte?

Oh, 傑瑞! Don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars!

我們擁有星星

(piano crescendo)


很可愛
Lovely.

Hm!


是「走出過去的時代」中 的保羅亨瑞德和貝蒂戴維斯吧？
Could it be Paul Henreid and Bette Davis in Now, Voyager?.

(all laugh)


這很有名，你們這些無知的小子
It is famous, you ignorant little tarts.

- But we never heard of it, sir. - Oh! Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass".

- 我們從沒聽說過 - 惠特曼的「草葉集」

"The untold want, by life and land ne'er granted,

「生命中無言的需求 和從未取得的土地」


「現在揚帆起航駛向前方 去追求探索」
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find."


翻開第５０頁
50p, please.


洛吉
Ah, Rudge.


- 沒有「去吧」系列電影的資料 - 要做什麼？
There's nothing on the Carry On films.

- Why? Should there be? - The exam.

考試，爾文說那個系列電影 會是個討論的好題目

Mr. Irwin said the Carry Ons would be good films to talk about.


真奇怪 你認為他喜歡那些嗎？
How peculiar. Does he like them, do you think?


也許不喜歡，誰知道呢
Probably not. You never know with him.


我想知道我是不是漏了什麼
I'm now wondering if there's something there that I've missed.


爾文先生說 「雖然沒有藝術價值」
Well, Mr. Irwin says that, "Whilst they have no intrinsic artistic merit..."


Ahem!

(quietly) "...they achieve some of the permanence of art simply by persisting
「但堅持帶來了藝術的成功」


「才能在社會歷史中 佔有一席之地」
and acquire incremental significance if only as social history."


天哪，你們一定過得很有趣
Dear me. What fun you must all have.


他的教法和妳不同 很創新，真的
Well, it's not like your stuff, Miss. It's cutting edge, it really is.


- Where do you live, sir? - Horsforth.
- 你住在哪裡？老師 - 霍斯福斯


離赫克托先生不遠 他應該可以載你一程
Not far from Mr. Hector, sir. He might even give you a lift.


不是個閣樓吧？
It's not a loft, is it, sir?


你吃快餐還是美食佳餚？
Do you exist on an unhealthy diet of takeaways

or do you whisk up gourmet meals for one?


- 或者只吃披薩？ - 我自己解決
- Or is it a lonely pizza, sir? - I manage!


你沒有問題嗎，達肯？
No questions from you, Dakin?


他們想打聽的就是你的生活
What they want to know, sir, is do you have a life?


或者說我們就是你的生活？
Or are we it? Are we your life?


It's pretty dismal if you are, cos these are as dreary as ever.
那你們要大失所望了 因為我日子過得很平淡


你提了個問題，也知道答案 但別人也是如此
You get a question, you know the answer. But then, so does everybody else.


所以，說點不一樣的 來點相反的
So, say something different, say the opposite.


好，聽著，例如史達林
OK, look, er... take Stalin.


大家都認為 他是個不折不扣的魔鬼
He's generally agreed to be a monster, and rightly so.


持相反意見 找些題材來為他辯護
Dissent. Find something, anything, and say it in his defense.


問題是你知道什麼 而不是你不知道的事情
A question is about what you know, it's not about what you don't know.


例如說一個有關林布蘭的問題 可能會是對竇加某個問題的答案
A question about Rembrandt, for instance, might prompt an answer on Degas.


- 竇加也是個大師嗎？ - 「苦難之事人們不曾道錯」
- Is Degas an old master? - "About suffering they were never wrong,

The Old Masters; how it takes place while someone's eating or opening a window."

「大師們，當人們享用大餐 或乘涼時，他們正在奮發努力」

- Have you done that with Mr. Hector? - Done what?

- 赫克托先生也這麼做嗎？ - 什麼？


你引用的那首詩 是奧登，對吧？
The poem. You're quoting somebody. Auden, isn't it?


是嗎？ 有時候只是脫口而出
Was it, sir? Sometimes it just flows out, you know, brims over.


他是照本宣科還是隨性所致？
Does he have a program or is it just at random?


- 是追求知識 - 對知識的追求無可厚非
- Knowledge. - The pursuit of it for its own sake.


我們在做的就是分享前人的智能
Breaking bread with the dead, that's what we do.


- 比你的那些要高貴多了 - 但沒用，赫克托先生沒有重點
- It's higher than your stuff, sir, it's nobler. - Only not useful. Mr. Hector's not as focused.


- 絲毫都沒有，他神志不清 - 我們知道上你的課要做什麼
(Lockwood) Not focused at all. He's blurred, sir.

We know what we're doing with you.

Half the time with him, we don't know what we're doing.

上他的課 我們都模模糊糊的


我們是可憐迷失的小綿羊 我們身在何處，老師？
We're poor little sheep that have lost our way.

- Where are we? Where are we, sir? - Sit down.


老師，你好年輕 不是半路停學才來的吧？
You're very young, sir. This isn't your gap year, is it, sir?


I wish it was.
- 我希望是 - 為什麼？你不喜歡教我們嗎？

(Lockwood) Why, sir? Do you not like teaching us?

我們不只是處於大學 和生命之間的轉折點

We're not just a hiccup between the end of university and the beginning of life,


就像奧登一樣，不是嗎？
like Auden, are we, sir?


- 你喜歡奧登的詩嗎？ - 有一些
- Do you like Auden's poetry, sir? - Some, yeah.


赫克托先生喜歡 對奧登我們有些了解
Mr. Hector does. We know about Auden.

(all) Oh, yes, we do.

- 他當過校長 - 我相信是的

- He was a schoolmaster for a bit. - I believe he was.


他是的，你認為 他更像你還是赫克托先生？
Yeah, he was. Do you think he was more like you or more like Mr. Hector?


- 為什麼他得像我們其中一人？ - 我覺得他更像赫克托老師
I have no idea. Why should he be like either of us?

Oh, I think he was more like Mr. Hector.


令人困惑，他吻他的學生
Bit of a shambles. He snogged his pupils.


是奧登，老師 不是說赫克托
Auden, sir, not Mr. Hector.


你能回答 一個有關奧登的問題嗎？
So, you could answer a question on Auden, then?


才不，老師 赫克托教的東西對考試沒用
No, sir! Mr. Hector's stuff's not meant for the exam!


只是為了讓我們多元發展
It's to make us more rounded human beings.


聽著 考試可能是任何你知道的東西
Listen! This examination's gonna be about everything and anything you know and are,


如果你們知道問題的答案 就好好回答
and if there's a question on Auden or whoever and you know about it, answer it.


那可會是背信
That would be a betrayal of trust.


老師，沒有神聖的東西嗎 我們太震驚了
Yeah! Is nothing sacred, sir? We're shocked.


我會回答，他們也要聽 嚇死他們
I would, sir, and they would. They're taking the piss.


「久留英格蘭的你」
"England, you've been here too long,


「口中所唱的歌 是為勇敢的人而唱」
And the songs you sing are the songs you sung

On a braver day, now they are wrong."

「只是，那些都是錯誤」


- 誰說的？ - 爾文老師
- Who's that? - (all) Oh! Mr. Irwin!


- 史黛薇史密斯的「溺水不求救」 - 別告訴我這知識一無是處
Sir! It's Stevie 史密斯 of "Not Waving But Drowning" fame.

Don't tell me that's useless knowledge.


如果你們要寫一篇 有關後帝國衰退的論文
If you get an essay on post-imperial decline,


you're losing an empire, finding a role, all that kind of stuff.
喪失權利，尋求定位這些題材


A gobbet like that, it's the perfect way to end it.
用這樣的一口酥來結尾 是最完美的


什麼？
A what, sir?


一口酥，就是引用的文句
A gobbet. A quotation.


- 還有什麼絕活沒拿出來的？ - 我們什麼都會
How much more have you up your sleeves?

We've got all sorts. Hey! The train, the train!

火車

(all imitate train)


我真想這麼做 站在邊緣的我渾身發抖
(as woman) I really meant to do it. I stood there trembling right on the edge.


但我辦不到 因為我不夠勇敢
But I couldn't. I wasn't brave enough.


我應該道出對你的思念 但孩子們阻止了我
I should like to able to say the thought of you and the children prevented me.


But it wasn't. I had no thoughts at all.
其實不是 我根本沒想過你


那只是一種強烈的慾望 不想再有任何感受
Only an overwhelming desire not to feel anything at all ever again.


Not to be unhappy any more.
不再感到不開心


回到了那小賣部 那時我幾乎暈了過去
I went back into the refreshment room. That's when I nearly fainted.


這是在胡說些什麼？
- What is all this? - (all) Shh!


- 蘿拉 - 是的，親愛的
- Laura. - Yes, dear?


Whatever your dream was, it wasn't a very happy one, was it?
不管你夢到了什麼 都不是個開心的夢，是嗎？


No.

我能幫你什麼嗎？
Is there anything I can do to help?


Fred, you always help.
弗瑞德，你一直在幫助我


你離開那麼遠
You've been a long way away.


謝謝你再回到我身邊
Thank you for coming back to me.


天知道你們 幹嘛學「相見恨晚」劇情
God knows why you've learned Brief Encounter.


這堂課完全浪費掉了
I think you ought to know this lesson's been a complete waste of time.


正如同赫克托的課 也都是在浪費時間
A bit like Mr. Hector's lessons then, sir. They're a complete waste of time too.


自作聰明 但這些對你們考試無益
Smart arse. But he's not trying to get you through an exam.

(all) Ooooh!


- 要舌吻嗎？ - 你說什麼？
- French Kiss? - I beg your pardon?


紐馬克那匹賽馬，三點鐘出賽
- Newmarket, three o'clock. - (chuckling)


- 桃樂絲 - 謝謝，史丹利
- Dorothy. - Thank you, Stanley.


覺得他們怎麼樣？
So, how are you finding them?


被你教導得極為出色 他們看不出來這是個遊戲
You've taught them too well. They can't see it's a game.


- 歷史是個遊戲嗎？ - 對於這樣的考試，是的
- History? Is it a game? - For an exam like this, yeah.


- Dorothy. - Ah, fuck.
- 桃樂絲 - 媽的


- Dorothy. - Headmaster.
校長


- 那是給我的可怕警告 - 菲力克斯？
- I call him the awful warning. - Who? Felix?


要是你不小心，他會將你同化
If you don't watch out, he's what you turn into.


If this was a 1940s film, he'd be played by Raymond Huntley.
如果這是４０年代的電影 他應該由雷蒙亨特利扮演


誰？
Who?


他擅長演尖酸的法官 和刻薄的校長
He made a speciality of sour-faced judges and vinegary schoolmasters.


- 我又該由誰來扮演？ - 德克博加德
- Who would I be played by? - Dirk Bogarde.

I'm not sure I like that.

我不知道自己是否喜歡他

- Dorothy. - Watch out.

- 當心 - 赫克托，就是他

Ah, Hector! The very man.


- 開心點，洛吉 - 你好
- Chin up, Rudge. - 哈囉!


林托特老師
Mrs. Lintott.


我們的大師勉強讓步了 承認藝術有其作用
Our lord and master having grudgingly conceded that art may have its uses,


我來教你們未來的牛津劍橋男生 一些藝術歷史
I gather I'm supposed to give your Oxbridge boys a smattering of art history.


不是我的強項，問爾文吧
Not my bag, Hazel. Irwin's your man.


- 有些點綴也不賴 - 藝術還有人重視嗎？
- It's really just the icing on the cake. - Is art ever anything else?


米開朗基羅
Michelangelo.


好吧…也行
Well... I suppose.


你在看誰的？
Who've you got?


- Both nancies. - Are they?
- 兩個同性戀 - 他們是嗎？


這不是女人 只是有乳房的男人
These aren't women. They're just men with tits.


而且像是用雪糕勺子堆成的
And the tits look put on with an ice-cream scoop.


- 那麼你喜歡特納嗎？ - 他還行
- Do you like Turner, then? - He's all right.


挑一些你喜歡的 藝術就是要你們樂於欣賞的
Well, choose someone you do like. Art's meant to be enjoyed.


長期來看是如此 但我們並不能享受藝術
In the long term, maybe, but with us, enjoyment don't come into it.


We haven't time to read the books. We haven't time to look at the pictures.
才沒時間在這裡讀書看畫


We really need lessons in acting. That's what this whole scholarship thing is: an acting job.
我們需要演戲課程 獎學金只是要我們演戲


男生有給你取外號嗎？
So, have the boys given you a nickname?


- 我不知道 - 有綽號也會是一種驕傲
- Not that I'm aware of. - A nickname is an achievement.


算是勝利的標誌 得到徽章的感覺
Both in the sense of something won and also in its armorial sense.


徽章
Of a badge, a blazon.


預料之中的，我是辣妹
Unsurprisingly, I am Tott. Or Tottie.


有人覺得很諷刺
Some irony there, one feels.


- 赫克托沒有綽號 - 他有，就是赫克托
- Hector has no nickname. - Yes, he has. Hector.


- 他是名叫赫克托 - 那是他的綽號
- But he's called Hector. - That's his nickname too.


他不叫赫克托 其實是叫道格拉斯
He isn't called Hector. His name's Douglas.


唯一一次聽到有人這樣喊他 是他令人意想不到的妻子
Though the only person I've ever heard address him as such

is his somewhat unexpected wife.


波斯納昨天來見我 他有個問題
Posner came to see me yesterday. He has a problem.


沒被取綽號，但知道他們的煩惱 我很少知道
No nickname, but at least you get their problems. I seldom do.


老師，我想我可能是個同性戀
Sir, I think I may be homosexual.


- 我愛上達肯 - 達肯知道嗎？
- I love Dakin. - Does Dakin know?


知道，他並不覺得吃驚
Yes. He doesn't think it's surprising.


當然達肯喜歡女生
Though Dakin likes girls, basically.


我很同情 當然還不至於說我感同身受
I sympathized, though not so much as to suggest I might be in the same boat.


- With Dakin? - With anybody.
- 對達肯？ - 對每一個人


那說得過去
That's sensible.


學生們最難以接受的 就是老師也只是普通人
One of the hardest things for boys to learn is that a teacher is human.


當老師最困難的 就是儘量去隱瞞這些事
One of the hardest things for a teacher to learn is not to try and tell them.


- 這是個階段嗎，老師？ - 你認為這是個階段嗎？
- Is it a phase, sir? - Do you think it's a phase?


有些書上說這會過去的 我不知道我是否願意事情過去
Some of the literature says it will pass.

I'm not sure I want it to pass.


但我想上牛津 上了說不定達肯會喜歡我
But I want to get into Oxford. If I do, Dakin might love me.


或者我會不再想他
Or I might stop caring.


- 你會回顧自己的生命嗎？ - 我想大家都會這麼做
- Do you look at your life, sir? - I thought everybody did.


我是個猶太人，微不足道
I'm a Jew, I'm small,


又是同性戀 住在雪菲爾
I'm homosexual, and I live in Sheffield.


我這輩子完蛋了
I'm fucked.


So, all this religion. What do you do?
你的宗教，通常都做些什麼？


到教堂祈禱
(sighs) Go to church. Pray.


是嗎？
Yes?


那非常花時間 你是無法想像的
It's so time-consuming. You have no idea.


還有其它什麼？
Yeah? What else?


Well. Er... it's what you don't do.
就是不能做的事


你不打手槍嗎？
You don't not wank?


- 你瘋了 - 不會永遠這樣
- Jesus! You're headed for the bin. - It's not forever.


你要做第一次時告訴我 我會迴避
Yeah, well, just tell me on the big day and I'll stand well back.


煩人的是當你學得越多 在書中看到更多的失敗者
What bothers me is the more you read,

the more you see literature is actually about losers.

- Ugh, no. - Yeah.

- 不會的 - 會


It's consolation. All literature is consolation.
只是種安慰 所有的文學都只是自我安慰

I don't care what Hector says. I find literature really louring.

我不在乎赫克托說了什麼 我覺得文學超陰沉的

This is Irwin, isn't it? A line of stuff for the exam.

- 是爾文，全是為考試準備的 - 不

No.


Well, it isn't wholly my idea.
這不全是我的想法 我最近在讀尼蕭的著作

I've been reading this book by Nieshaw.


- 誰？ - 尼蕭，哲學家
- Who? - Nieshaw. He's a philosopher.


費德瑞克尼蕭
Frederick Nieshaw.


我想應該是尼采吧
I think that's pronounced Nietzsche.


媽的
Oh, shit. Shit!


- What's the matter? - I talked to Irwin about it.
- 怎麼了？ - 我和爾文討論過了


他沒糾正我 還由著我喊尼蕭
He didn't correct me. He let me call him Nieeee-shaw!


- 他當我是個傻瓜 - 我做錯了什麼了？
- He'll think I'm a right fool. Shit! - What have I done?
