好 我们开始吧 Okay, let's begin.
谁想先说? Who wants to start?
好 布兰妮 你先说 Yes, Brittany, kick it off.
我对文本没有想法 I don't have a thought on the reading,
我只是对白板上的词有意见 I just think that that word on the board is wrong.
《人造黑鬼》 弗兰纳里·奥康纳著
我满确定"黑鬼"没有写错 Well, I think it still has two G's in it last I checked.
这并不好笑 It's not funny.
我们不该成天盯着"黒鬼"一词看 We shouldn't have to stare at the N-word all day.
听着 Uh, listen,
这是一门关于美国南方的文学课 this is a class on the literature of the American south.
你们会遇到老套的思想和粗俗的语言 You're going to encounter some archaic thoughts, coarse language,
但大家都是成人 相信你们可以理解 but we're all adults here and I think we can understand it
这些作品的背景脉络 within the context in which it's written.
我只是认为那个词很冒犯人 Well, I just find that word really offensive.
恕我直言 布兰妮 With all due respect, Brittany,
连我都不在意了 我相信你也可以 I got over it, I'm pretty sure you can too.
没必要吧 Well, I don't see why.
好吧 Right.
好 还有人对文本有别的想法吗? Now, does anyone else have any thoughts on the reading?
这让你的某些学生感到不舒服 Well, it made some of your students uncomfortable.
他们何时变得如此脆弱? When did they all become so goddamn delicate?
那并不是单一事件 -什么? This wasn't an isolated incident. What?
上个月 你问某个学生 他家人是否曾是纳粹 Last month you asked a student if his family had been Nazis.
我的确有这么做 他是德国人啊 Yeah, I did, he's German,
我们当时在读《反美阴谋》 we were reading The Plot Against America
相信我 看他坐立不安的样子 他家人一定是 and trust me, by the way he was squirming, they were.
老天啊 Oh, my God.
莫克 你是位才华洋溢的作家 我们很荣幸能聘请你来 Um, Monk, you are a very talented writer, we're fortunate to have you here.
什么? -他有好几年没出书了 What? He hasn't published in years.
从你上次出书后 我已经写了三本小说 I have written three novels since the last time you published.
你说得没错 而你写作的速度 Yeah, this is true, and the speed with which you write
再次证明好事多磨 only proves that good things take time.
去死啦 莫克 -别激动 曼帝 Oh, go to hell, Monk. -Relax, Mandy.
对啊 别激动 曼帝 Yeah, relax, Mandy.
总之 我的新书会由回音出版社出书 And anyway, my new book is with Echo
我的经纪人说他们非常期待 and my agent says they're very excited about it.
真是令人开心的消息 Oh, that's great to hear.
那本书在讲什么? -别再拖了 李奥? What's it about? -Can we stop stalling, Leo?
听着 莫克 Listen, Monk,
我们希望你能休息一阵子 we'd like to give you a break.
"休息"是什么意思? -去放个假吧 What do you mean, break? Just some time off.
强制放假 Mandatory time off.
反正你也要去波士顿 参加读书节 不是吗? It's just, you're already going to Boston for the festival, right?
你何不待久一点? -因为我恨波士顿 我老家就在那里 Why don't you just stay there for--Because I hate Boston, my family's there.
你需要放松 你太紧绷了 老兄 Well, you need some time to relax. You're on edge, man.
你以为跟家人相处 You're under the impression that time spent
就能让压力消失吗? with my family will take the edge off.
我没事 -才怪 I'm fine. -You're not fine.
我上周看到你在车里哭 他还揍了方向盘 I saw you crying in your car last week. He punched the steering wheel.
哇 若你少花点时间监视我 Oh, wow. You know, if you spent less time spying on me,
你也许可以多写一打书 you could probably write a dozen more novels
放在机场跟那些颈枕和饼干一起卖 that people buy at airports with their neck pillows and Cheez-Its.
你走心了 要杠上了吗 烂人? Oh, here we go. Okay. You want to go, dirty doggy?
好 祝你在波士顿玩得开心 Okay, well, enjoy Boston.
你可以去机场买我的书 You can... you can get my book at the airport.

已有穿着波士顿棕熊队运动衫的家伙 问我是否自以为高人一等? Already had a guy in a Bruins jersey ask me if I think I'm better than him.
那代表好运 That's good luck here.
是波士顿版本的好运 That's Boston's version of a ladybug landing on you.
有什么新消息吗? Any news?
回音的帕特里克不想要这本书 但谁在乎? Patrick at Echo is passing. But who fucking cares?
他是个老酒鬼 He's an old alcoholic.
那是他拒绝的第九本书吗? What is that? Nine now? -He says,
他说："这本书写得不错 "This book is finely crafted
角色的发展完整 词汇丰富 with fully developed characters and rich language,
但我不懂他改写 but one is lost to understand what this reworking of
艾斯奇勒斯的《波斯人》 与非裔美国人的经验有何关联" Aeschylus' The Persians has to do with the African-American experience?"
就是这样 There it is.
他们想要黑人的书 -他们已经有黑人的书 They want a Black book. They have a Black book.
我是黑人 这是我的书 I'm Black, and it's my book.
你懂我的意思 You know what I mean.
你是说他们要我写 关于警察杀死青少年 You mean they want me to write about a cop killing some teenager
或在多切斯特 抚养五个孩子的单亲妈妈 or a single mom in Dorchester raising five kids.
多切斯特现在已经很白了 但你说得没错 Dorchester is pretty white now. But yes.
老天 我根本不在乎种族 Jesus Christ. You know, I don't even really believe in race.
但问题是 其他人都很在乎 Yeah. The problem is that everyone else does.
总之 祝你读书节愉快 Anyway, have fun at the book festival.
千万不要侮辱任何重要人物 And just don't insult anyone important.
拜托 Please.
大众读书节 波士顿会议展览中心
从历史的观点写作 并不表示你不能写出 Writing from a historical perspective doesn't mean that you can't
与现代人有共鸣的作品 make work that doesn't resonate with today's audiences.
塞洛尼斯·艾里森
我认为对我们这些书呆子而言 《权力的游戏》证明了 Yeah, I think of things like Game of Thrones as proof that
这样的作品也能成功 nerds like us can still find great success.
很可惜的 今天的讨论只能到此为止 Unfortunately, we're going to have to end it there.
感谢作家和与会者们共襄盛举 Thank you to our authors and thanks to all of you for attending.
是我的错觉 还是这读书节场子真的很小? Is it just me, or was this small even for a book festival?
是真的 因为我们在跟辛塔拉比场子 Yeah, it's because we're up against Sintara.
谁? Who?
辛塔拉·戈登 你没读过她的书吗? Sintara Golden. You haven't read her?
不知道 她写了什么书? No, what's her book called?
(《咱们在贫民窟的日子》 辛塔拉·戈登著
这本书红遍天下 报章杂志争相报道 Raves everywhere. The Post, Bookforum.
《伦敦书评》评论 The London Review of Books said,
"《咱们在贫民窟的日子》 是部令人心碎又发自肺腑的处女作" "We's Lives in Da Ghetto is a heartbreaking and visceral debut."
我也听说有电视剧要改编她的作品 Plus a little birdie told me that perhaps there's a TV adaptation in the works?
不予置评 No comment.
主要舞台
好吧 至少我试着问了 Okay, it was worth a shot.
你成为作家前的生活是什么样子呢? Tell us, what was your life like before you were an author?
我在欧柏林读完大学后搬到纽约 Well, I did undergrad at Oberlin and moved to New York the day after graduation
毕业隔天我就搬了 几个月后 and a couple months later,
我在出版社当助理 I was an assistant at a publisher.
当助理的经验 是否影响了你日后的著作? And did that assistant experience shape your writing?
当然 我是第一读者 Absolutely. Yeah, I was a first reader meaning
表示我会读完所有的稿子 I would read all the manuscripts in the slush pile
在一大叠稿子中挑出不错的作品 and send them up the ladder
继续往上送 if they were any good.
有些作品还不错 但大多稿子都差强人意 Some of them were great, most were not.
但有种感受令我难以忘怀 But the feeling I couldn't shake was that
就是无论那些书有多棒 no matter how good the books were,
大部分都是纽约的白人男作家写的 most every submission was from some white dude from New York
他们当时正在经历离婚 going through a divorce,
没什么作品是关于我的族群 and too few of them were about my people.
这让我思考："我们的故事呢? " And so I think, "Where are our stories?"
"代表我们的著作在哪里? " You know, "Where's our representation?"
正因为这种匮乏 我的书也随之诞生 And it was from that lack that my book was born.
能帮我们读一段你的作品摘录吗? Would you give us the pleasure of reading an excerpt?
谢谢 Thank you.
"哟 莎兰德 "'Yo, Cheranda,
你这么匆忙要去哪里? " where you be goin' in a hurry likes that?'
唐娜看我出门时问道 Donna aks me when she see me comin' out the house.
"不关你的事 但你想知道的话 'Ain't none ya business, but if'n you gots to know,
我要去药店" I's goin' to the pharmacy.'
我回头往门口看我妈是否出来了 I looks back at the door to see if Mama comin' out.
"药店? 为什么? " 她问 'The pharmacy? What for?' she aks.
"你知道的" 我说 'You know', I says.
"才怪" 她说 'Nah', she say.
"不会吧 姑娘 你又怀孕了? " 'Hell, nah! Girl, you be pregnant again?'
"有可能" 我告诉她 'Might's be', I tells her.
"如果是真的话 这一次 'And if I is, Ray-Ray's gonna be a real father
小瑞真的要当爸了" this time around.'"
谢谢 Thank you.
太棒了 Yes!

你遇到写作瓶颈了? You blocked?
只是… It's just...
我觉得人们不想买我写的书 I don't think anybody wants to buy what I write.

喂? Hello?
我在夜晚中站在户外 "I be standing outside in the night,
一台警用直升机飞过 a police chopper go by
用探照灯打在后院 and shine some lights in some backyards
我想："把光打在我身上吧 混蛋 and I think, 'Shine that light on me, motherfucker,
把该死的光打在我身上 shine me some fucking light
我才能看见我到底身在何方" so I can see where the fuck I be at.'"
你是认真的吗? Are you serious?
你有发现我没放我的名字吗? You notice I didn't put my name on it.
对 你放斯塔格·R·利亚 Yes, Stagg R. Leigh,
我有发现 很棒 I did notice that. Well done.
但我还是没把它送出去 But I still can't send this out.
你说你想要黑人文学 这个不够黑吗? You said you wanted Black stuff. What's Blacker than that?
里头有游手好闲的爸爸 饶舌歌手、毒品 It's got deadbeat dads, rappers, crack,
他最后还被警察杀了 and he gets killed by a cop in the end.
这样很黑对吧? I mean, that's... that's... that's Black, right?
我知道你在干什么 -很好 因为这一点都不隐讳 I see what you're doing. Good, because it's not subtle.
这本书跟其他出版社 I mean, how's that book so different
出的垃圾书们有什么差别? than some of the other garbage they put out?
那不是重点 -这就是我的重点 That's not the point. Well, it's my point.
你看看他们出版的东西 Look at what they publish.
看看他们要我们写的东西 Look at what they expect us to write.
我感到厌恶 I'm sick of it.
这是我表达厌恶的方式 And that's an expression of how sick I am.
莫克 我想要卖书 Monk, I'm trying to sell books,

好 但我只想寄给几家出版社就好 All right, but I'm only sending it to a couple of places.
这东西吓到我了 This thing scares me.
吓到你? 为什么? Scares you? Why?
因为白人希望能看到真相 事实却不然 Because white people think they want the truth, but they don't.
他们只想感到被饶恕 They just want to feel absolved.
幸好那不是我的问题 Well, fortunately, that's not my problem.
好 -再见 Okay. -Bye.

你付了吗? Did you?
多少钱? How much?
我可以负责电费 Well, I can handle the electrical bills,
但照护机构实在太贵了 but these care facilities are expensive.
最近又最好的一家 每个月要交5600 The best one nearby is $5,600 a month,
而且还是多人房 and that's for a shared room.
单人房的话是6900 It goes up to $6,900 a month for a private room.
你为何一定要找最好的? 她又不是世上最好的母亲 Well, why you looking at the best one? She wasn't the best mother.
听着 我不是来重提儿时恩怨的 Look, I'm not here to re-litigate our childhoods.
当然不是 因为你的童年很棒 Of course not, because yours was great.
该死 你到底要不要帮忙? Goddamn it! Are you going to help me or not?
有医疗福利可以帮忙吗? Won't Medicaid cover it or something?
那不是这么用的 你不知道吗? That's not how it works. You don't know this?
你好 Oh. Hello.
那是谁? 你在干什么? Who's that? What are you doing?
我要去上我爱人 I've taken a lover.
你要去上你爱人? You've taken a lover?
有什么问题吗? 恐同人士? You got a problem with that, homophobe?
听着 你要去上你爱人 不会冒犯我 克里夫 Listen, I'm not offended that you've taken a lover, Cliff.
我被冒犯的地方 克里夫 是你说："你要去上你爱人" I'm offended, Cliff, that you call it taking a lover.
去吃屎吧 黑鬼 Mm, you can eat shit, nigga.
我现在要去上我爱人了 I'll take my lover right now.
嘿 你要去哪? Hey, where you going?
你来了 There you are.
路上堵车 怎么了? Traffic was insane. What's up?
坐吧 Sit down.
坐下 Have a seat.
我卖掉你的书了 We sold your book.
老天 Holy shit!
我以为这本书没救了 -波斯人可不这么认为 I thought it was DOA. -Not The Persians.
不会吧 No.
太狂了 Get out!
是汤普森·瓦特出版社的葆拉·贝特曼 Paula Betaman from Thompson-Watt.
她每次都拒绝 She always passes.
这次可没有 他们想以75万美金抢先购入 Not this time. They want to preempt for $750,000.
从没有人给我这样的价格 No one's ever offered that much to me.
现在你得到了 -不 阿瑟 This is you. -No, it's not, Arthur.
书是你写的 -我是写来闹笑话的 You wrote it. -As a joke.
那这就是你说过最好赚的笑话了 Well, now it's the most lucrative joke you've ever told.
我不要卖 -为什么? And I'm not selling. -Why not?
因为那是垃圾 阿瑟 Because it's trash, Arthur.
你之前甚至不想把它寄出去 You didn't even want to send it out the other day.
但看看是谁瞬间不怕了 Oh, but look who's suddenly overcome his fears.
我知道 我为了销售破戒 I know, I broke the first rule of sales.
绝对不要小看人们愚蠢的程度 Never underestimate how stupid everyone is.
我不要再让这件事更加愚蠢了 Well, I'm not participating in making them any stupider.
你目前还没 Well, you haven't thus far,
这的确值得令人敬佩 但是… which is admirable, but...
你也还没赚到钱 you also haven't made any money.
难道你妈不需要这笔钱吗? Doesn't your mom need help these days?
你看 Check this out.
我不管我被灌多醉 我不要卖 I don't care how drunk we get, I'm not selling it.
我没有要这么做 That's not what I'm doing.
约翰走路红牌威士忌 24美金 Johnnie Walker Red, 24 bucks.
约翰走路黑牌威士忌 50美金 Johnnie Walker Black, 50 bucks.
约翰走路蓝牌威士忌 160美金 Johnnie Walker Blue...$160.
你懂我的比喻了吗? You see the metaphor?
不懂 No.
这些都是同公司制造的酒 These are all made by the same company.
红牌很难喝 黑牌没那么难喝 蓝牌很好喝 The Red is shit, the Black is less shit, the Blue is good.
但很少人买蓝牌 因为很贵 But fewer people buy the blue because it's expensive.
而大家一天终了之时只想喝醉 And at the end of the day, most people just want to get drunk.
你的职涯中 你的书都是蓝牌 For most of your career, your books have been Blue.
都很棒 很复杂 They're good, complex.
但它们并不受欢迎 因为人们只想看好读的书 But they're not popular because most people want something easy.
你生平第一次写出红牌书 Now, for the first time ever, you've written a Red book.
简单又低俗 It's simple, prurient.
不是好的文学作品 却满足人们的需要 It's not great literature, but... satisfies an urge.
这是很宝贵的 And that's valuable.
我想要描述的是 只因为你写了红牌书 What I'm trying to illustrate is that, just because you do Red
不表示你写不出蓝牌 doesn't mean you can't also do Blue.
你什么书都能写 You can do it all.
就像约翰走路一样 Like Johnnie Walker.
事实上 你比约翰走路还强 因为… In fact, you got Johnnie Walker beat, because...
你还不用放上你真正的名字 you don't even have to put your real name on it.
老天 Jesus.
要开喝了吗? Do we drink now?
喂? -喂 葆拉 Hello? Hello, Paula.
阿瑟 很高兴接到你的电话 Arthur! So wonderful to hear from you.
希望你有跟那位当红炸子鸡在一起 Um, I hope that you are with the man of the hour.

好的
我本来有点疑惑 但是… Yeah, I was a little confused at first, but...
我们都很期待 讨论汤普森·瓦特的开价 We're both very excited to discuss Thompson-Watt's offer.
好的 首先我得说 Yes, well, first of all, let me just say
汤普森·瓦特的全体同仁 都很爱《我有病》 that all of us here at Thompson-Watt are thrilled with My Pafology.
这真是长久以来最完美的书了 It is about as perfect a book as I have seen in a long, long while.
很直接很真实 Just... just raw and real.
利亚先生 这是改编自 你的真实故事吗? And, Mr. Leigh, is this based on your actual life?
对啊 难道你以为这个故事 Yeah, you think some bitch-ass college boy
是某个大学屁孩想出来的吗? can come up with that shit?
不 我没有 No, no. No, I don't.
书中那股… No. You know, that kind of
原始能量是学不来的 对吧? visceral energy cannot be taught, right?
斯塔格…我可以这么称呼你吗? Stagg... May I call you--
斯塔格是笔名吗? Now, is Stagg a pseudonym?
是的 Yes, uh, it is.
利亚先生不能用本名 因为他是… Mr. Leigh can't use his real name because he's a...
他是通缉犯 Well, he's a wanted fugitive.
我的天 哇 Oh, my God. Wow.
所以他才不能进行视频通话 That's why this couldn't be a video conference.
你疯了吗? 万一他们去查证怎么办? Are you crazy? What if they fact check this?
查证? 他们连付编辑的费用都快没了 I checked. There's barely money to pay editors anymore.
就跟着演出吧 Just go with it.
对 我才刚坐牢12年 我不要再回去了 Yeah, I did a 12-year bid, but no going back.
你懂我的意思吗? Know what I mean?
我懂 这样吧 Yeah. Yeah, you know, um...
我读了很多关于废除监狱运动的书 I've been reading a lot about the prison abolition movement...
老天 -我已… Oh, God! -I've...
很抱歉催促你 葆拉 但我们可以谈正事吗? Sorry to rush, Paula, but can we talk business?
利亚先生很重视他狱外的时间 Mr. Leigh values his time outside of a cell.
当然 我相信你们都很忙 Of course. I'm sure you're both very, very busy
那么我就直接讲重点吧 so I will get right to it.
你会发现稿费非比寻常地高 Um, you'll notice that our offer is...unusually large
那是因为我们相信 利亚先生写出了畅销书 and that is because we believe Mr. Leigh has written a bestseller.
我们认为那会是今夏必读的畅销书 We think it is going to be the read of the summer.
我相信汉普顿的白人们 Yeah, I'm sure white people on the Hamptons
会很喜欢这本书 will delight in it.
没错 一定会 我们… Yes, we will. They--We--
这本书一定会热卖 It's going to be huge. Huge.

大家都还是称呼你为莫克吗? Everyone still call you Monk?
除了你之外都是这样 Well, everyone but you.
那是个很美的名字 Well, it's a beautiful name.
不完整称呼实在太罪过了 It seems simple not to use it whole.
很高兴有人喜欢 Well, I'm glad someone appreciates it.
我听说你妹的事了 请节哀 I heard about your sister. My condolences.
谢谢 Thank you.
我好像很久没看到你了 I don't think I've seen you since
自从你父亲过世后 before your father passed?

好莱坞 Oh! Hollywood.
你是《重返犯罪现场》的编剧吗? Hey, do you write for that NCIS?
我只有写书 Just books.
你应该去当《重返犯罪现场》的编剧 那部戏很红 Well, you should try to write for NCIS. It's popular.

你喜欢阅读吗 艾里森太太? Do you like to read, Mrs. Ellison?
不喜欢 No.
才怪 她很爱读书 That's not true. She loves to read.

你可以带领读书会 And you can lead a book club.

我们组织每年都会举行 that each year my organization bestows
自以为是的"文学奖" the somewhat pretentiously named Literary Award.
每位作家都知道文学奖 卡尔 Every writer knows the Literary Award, Carl.
特别是我们这些还没得奖的人 Especially those of us who haven't won it.
对啦 Yeah. Yeah.
这也是我打来的原因 Well, that's sort of related to why I'm calling.
像其他许多美国组织 我们最近被批评 Like many American institutions, mine was recently rattled by the notion
因缺乏多元性 that our lack of diversity
导致奖项有其盲点 had led to a blind spot in our work.
所以我们正试图修正这点 So, you know, we're kind of trying to remedy that.
因此 我们想知道你是否愿意 And to that end, I was wondering how you might feel
担任今年奖项的评审? about being a judge in this year's award ceremony?
首先 卡尔 我很荣幸 Um, let me say first, Carl, that I'm honored you choose me
你冒着被批评种族歧视的风险 out of all the Black writers you could go to out of fear
在所有黑人作家中选了我 of being called racist.
不客气 Yeah, you're very welcome.
但我觉得这个工作很辛苦 But I think this sounds like a lot of work.
我不否认 Yeah, I can't deny that.
你要读好几十本书 I mean, you're going to have to read dozens of books.
我们可以提供你不错的津贴 We could offer you a modest stipend.
即便如此 我仍无法决定 Even so, I'm not sure.
好 当人们这样持观望态度时 Okay. One of the crass perk I reference
我会用一种的粗俗的方式去说服 when people are kind of on the fence like this
就是这能让你有机会 is that this will allow you the opportunity
真正去评审这些作品 to literally judge these other writers for once,
而非形而上的批评 rather than just figuratively.
好 我参加 -太棒了 很好 All right, I'm in. Well, fantastic. Okay.
很好 所以你会成为五位评审之一 Great. So you're going to be one of five judges.

你确定你不想留下来 参加罗蓝的婚礼? You sure you don't want to stay for Lorraine's wedding?
我还是离开比较好 It's better if I go.

这个家真的很伤人的心 This family will break your heart.
肯尼娅
肯尼娅·达斯汀秀
欢迎回来 我是肯尼娅·达斯汀 Welcome back. I'm Kenya Dunston
今天我们要讨论一本新小说 and today, we're going to discuss
它刚登上《纽约时报》 a new novel that just debuted at number one
畅销书排行榜第一名 on The New York Times bestseller list.
这是本很杰出又特别的书 It is just a remarkable, special book,
书名是 and it's called...
快把小孩的眼耳遮起来 Cover your kids' eyes and ears...
斯塔格·R·利亚
我们今天很荣幸请到作者上节目 We are lucky enough to have the author with us today.
对于刚收看的观众 And for those of you who are just joining us,
请理解斯塔格·R·利亚先生的 访问所在地 please know that Mr. Stagg R. Leigh is coming to us
必须保持秘密 from an undisclosed location
因为他是位在逃通缉犯 as he is still on the run from authorities.
通缉犯暨作者 斯塔格·R·利亚
斯塔格 请告诉我们 这本小说是改编自真实故事吗? Oh, Stagg, tell us, is this novel a true story?
其实不然 Not factually,
但对于像我这样的美国黑人 but it's the true story of what it's like
它与真实故事十分相近 to be a Black man in America like me.
不太光彩 And it ain't pretty.
阿门 Amen to that.
在我服刑期间 During my time in prison,
每个人的嘴上都挂着这个字 I learned that words belong to everybody.
所以这本书 要献给我们这个美丽的国家 So this book is my contribution to this wonderful country of ours
它让前科犯也能致富 where a Black ex-con can become rich
只要透过讲述 simply by telling the story
那些不幸同胞的故事 of his unfortunate people.
没错 Yes. Yes.
阿瑟来电 接受、拒绝
怎么了 -告诉你 Yeah. -Get this.
联邦调查局今天打给汤普森·瓦特 The FBI called Thompson Watt today
想得知斯塔格·R·利亚的真实身份 to try to get Stagg R. Leigh's identity.
什么? -别担心 What? -Don't worry.
他们不会放弃的 They're not going to give him up.
放弃什么? 那就是我 我什么都没做 Give who up? It's me, I haven't done anything.
他们又不知道 -听着 这事玩过火了 They don't know that. Look, this has gone too far.
放心 Relax.
通缉犯这件事 让我们得到许多媒体关注 The fugitive stuff's getting us mountains of free press.
加上 如你所说 你什么都没做 Plus, as you said, you haven't done anything.
他们又不能逮捕你 It's not like they can arrest you.
真希望我当初没有卖这本书 I wish I could go back to not selling books.
我可不这么认为 I don't.
再见 Bye.
一切都还好吧? Is everything all right?
还好 Yeah.
我只是压力有点大 I'm just a little stressed out. This, uh.
文学奖的工作比我想象中还繁重 book award stuff is a bit more work than I expected.
可恶 Shit.
没关系 再去厨房拿一些叉子就好 It's no biggie. Got more forks in the kitchen.
这是什么? -我朋友给我的 What's this? Mm. My friend got it for me.
你读了吗? -当然还没 你呢? Have you read it? Of course not, have you?
读了 Yeah.
《操》
你觉得如何? And what did you think of it?
我很喜欢 -为什么喜欢? I liked it. -What did you like about it?
它没冒犯到你吗? Um... -It didn't offend you?
你不是说你还没读吗? 怎么了? You just said you didn't read it. What's your problem?
不 回答我的问题 No, you answer my question.
你才回答我的问题 You answer mine.
我的问题是这种书一点都不真实 My problem is that books like this aren't real.
它简化了我们的人生 They flatten our lives.
什么意思? What do you mean?
虽然我的生活一团糟 I mean, that... you know, my life is a disaster,
但不是书里描述的这样 but not in the way you'd think reading this shit.
这些东西简化了我们的生命历程 These things reduce us and they do it over
他们却一再这么做 只因为有太多白人 and over again because too many white people,
和你这样的人喜欢这种垃圾 and people apparently like you devour this slop
就像吃馊水的猪 like pigs at a dumpster
或是想在鸡尾酒派对跟上潮流 to stay current at fucking cocktail parties
之类的 -好 or whatever. -Okay, um...
一个好几年没出书的人意见这么多 You got a lot of opinions for someone who hasn't published anything for years.
而你又出版了什么? And you've published what exactly?
你到底是有什么问题? Okay, what is wrong with you?
你为什么要这样? Why are you acting like this?
我没有怎么样 I'm not acting like anything.
你这几周都怪里怪气的 You've been acting like a weirdo for weeks.
你一直混淆视听、偷偷摸摸 You've been obfuscating, sneaking around.
没人知道你在干什么 You're fucking unknowable.
也许你以为神神秘秘 很潮又很有艺术感 Maybe you think being an enigma is chic and artsy.
那只会让你像个混蛋 -这个嘛 I just think it makes you an asshole. Well, um,
你不懂我的人生 你也没办法 you don't understand my life, and you can't,
所以就不要深究了 so just leave it at that.
也许你有天会了解 One day, maybe you'll learn
无法与他人产生共鸣 that not being able to relate to other people
并不是一件值得荣耀的事 isn't a badge of honor.
我觉得你该离开了 I think you should leave.
你知道我怎么想的吗? Well, you know what I think?
你该离开了 莫克 You should leave, Monk.
乱写一通 Nonsense.
你们需要帮忙吗? You guys need any help with that?
不用 我们没问题 Nah, we're good.
我以为你们需要帮忙 I thought you could use a little brawn.
我们自己来就好了 We got it.
莫克先生 你介意 把气泡水制造机给我吗? Mr. Monk. You mind I keep the soda maker?
反正你也不喜欢气泡水 对吧? You don't like the bubbly water anyhow, right?
送你吧 -谢谢 It's all yours. -Thank you.
嘿 那这个呢? Um... Hey, what about this?
不要 一直都很讨厌那个颜色 No. I always hated that color.
那是你爸买的 It's just the one your father bought.
塞洛尼斯 你的包裹 Thelonious, this just came for you.
好的 谢谢 Okay, thanks.
这是最后一批了 This is the last of it.
再会了 莫克先生 Goodbye, Mr. Monk.
再见 罗兰 Bye, Lorraine.
开车小心 Drive safe.
我们婚礼见 -好的 Guess I'll see you at the wedding. All right.
我来拿 I'll take that there.
我们很乐意提名这本书 参加文学奖评选
显然汤普森·瓦特 希望能赶快出版这本书 Thompson Watt apparently raced to publish it.
我听说他们已经印了30万册 Yeah, I heard that they ran 300,000 copies already
很快又要再刷 and they're reprinting more soon.
这本书势如破竹 I mean, it's going like gangbusters .
老天 这本书最好真的那么好看 Christ on a crutch! It better be good.
我听说作者是通缉犯 Hey, I heard the writer's a fugitive.
这样就能解释书名了 Well, that would explain the title.
他可没受过文化洗礼 He didn't go to charm school.
我认为那样的背景很加分 No, I think that that background is a plus.
我很喜欢读有色人种 I am thrilled to read a BIPOC man harmed
被我们监狱国家欺负的故事 by our carceral state.
你也是那种支持 减少警方资源的疯子吗? Are you one of those defund the police nuts?
对 但我不期望能得到你的理解 Yes, and I wouldn't expect you to understand.
希望你爱的人不会被强暴或谋杀 Well, I hope someone you love doesn't get raped or murdered.
我们现在可以不要聊这个吗? Can we not talk about this now, please?
听着 Look, look, look.
无论他是否是罪犯 我们都不该把这本书加进来 Criminal or not, I don't think we should add it.
这个过程已经进行好几周了 我不晓得你们的状况 We're already weeks into the process, and I don't know about any of you,
但我还有十几本书还没读 but I've got more than a dozen books I haven't even opened yet.
这本书在缴交日期前就出版了 It was published before the submission date,
我认为我们应该要收这本书 I think we have to accept it.
只是多一本书而已 Yeah, it's just one more.
而且看样子 这本书很快就读完了 And from the looks of it, it should be a quick read.
像是一场性爱快餐 A quick fuck.
我有过几次这样的经验 I've had a couple of those.
我要挂电话了 再见 Bye, guys. Bye.
嗨 小亲亲 Hi, Monkie.
你好美 You look beautiful.
你好 Oh, hello.
小亲亲 我们认识这些人吗? Monkie, do we know these men?
不 妈 这些人不是幻觉 他们是真的陌生人 No, Mother, this isn't the Alzheimer's, these are actual strangers.
你们是谁? -我们是克里夫的朋友 Who are you people? We're Cliff's friends.
我想也是 Of course, you are.
我们是几天前认识的 我是肯尼 他是艾文 We met him a few days ago. I'm Kenny, this is Alvin.
你是莫克吗? -是的 你怎么知道? Are you Monk? I am. How did you know?
克里夫说莫克的屁股很紧实 Oh. Well, Cliff said Monk's a real tight-ass.
是吗? 真开心 Did he? Delightful.
妈 你坐这边 Mother, you sit here.
罗兰? Lorraine?
你喜欢炒蛋吗? -我很爱炒蛋 Do you like scrambled eggs? I love scrambled eggs.
你在这里干什么? -你才是吧 What the hell are you doing here? You first.
靠 婚礼 Oh, shit, the wedding.
靠 Ah. -Oh, fuck!
我没去机场 I didn't go to the airport.
我离开的那天 我想自己静静 That day I left, I needed some time to myself.
想自己静静表示不想被打扰 Time to oneself implies by definition, time alone.
老天 走吧 Oh, Christ, here we go.
字典侦探 Detective Dictionary. -Ah!
克里夫先生 -很抱歉 各位 我来处理 Mr. Cliff. I'm sorry, guys, I'll handle it.
你得离开 You need to leave.
别整理了 走吧 Don't bother to clean up, just go.
不 没关系 请留下来 Oh, no, it's all right, just... Please stay.
这是场庆祝 It's a celebration.
很高兴看到你 克里夫 It's good to see you, Cliff.
我也很高兴见到你 米纳 It's good to see you too, Maynard.
我不想强留 I, um...I... I don't want to impose.
不会的 You can't impose.
因为你是我家人 You're family.
好的 Okay.
我… I'll, uh...
我去整理一下 好吗? I'll go clean up a bit, yeah?
恭喜你们 Congratulations, you guys.
我们可以做早餐给你们吃吗? Can we make y'all some breakfast?
我很会做奶昔 I can whip up a killer smoothie
艾文曾在邮轮的奥姆蛋摊位打工 and Alvin used to work the omelet station on a cruise ship.
听起来很棒 谢谢 That sounds lovely. Thank you.
很感谢你让他们留下来 -不会的 It's very kind of you to let them stay.
跟别人的家庭打交道总是比较容易 It's always easier dealing with other people's families than your own.

这就会变成你的家人 this will be your family.

你把她气走? Piss her off?
对 Yeah.
不理她? -对 Shut her out? -Yeah.
爸也拒所有人于千里之外 Dad shut everyone out too.
他成天说谎 He lied all the time.
你看他那样做的结果 Look how that turned out.
我这些日子就像爸一样生气 I find myself getting very angry these days like Dad.
"这些日子"? These days?
我最近不断思考 关于爸死前不知道我是同志这件事 I've been thinking a lot lately about how Dad died not knowing I'm gay.
我想他应该略知一二 I think he suspected it. -Mm.
也许吧 He may have.
但他不确定 But he didn't know for sure.
他从没了解完整的我 He never knew the entirety of me.
现在他也没机会了 And now he never will.
这让我觉得… And that makes me...
让我觉得很伤心 It makes me real sad.
若他知道然后拒绝与你往来呢? Well, what if he had known and rejected you?
至少他拒绝了真正的我 At least he'd be rejecting the real me.
我知道这听起来很疯狂 但是… I know that sounds crazy,
那会让我松一口气 but there'd be some relief in that.
听起来并没那么疯狂 It doesn't sound so crazy.
人们想要爱你 莫克 People want to love you, Monk.
我不知道他们看上你什么 I personally don't know what they see in you,
但是 but...
他们想要爱你 they want to love you.
你应该让他们爱全部的你 You should let them love all of you.
10《斯卡特》 9《奇怪的工作》
真烂 It was dogshit.
某位娇生惯养的蠢蛋 I mean, some mollycoddled chump
不断喋喋不休关于他死去的妈妈 faffing on about his dead mom...
有谁在乎啊? Who cares?
这表示《站着被埋葬》第四名 Okay, so that means that Bury Me Standing is fourth.
我们来谈谈《操》吧 Let's talk about Fuck.
可以不要吗? Could we not?
我很喜欢 Personally, I adored it.
这就像是在直视伤口 It was like gazing into an open wound.
我同意 我认为这是我很长一段时间 I agree. I think it's the strongest African-American novel
读过最强的非裔美国人小说 I've read in a long time.
但当然是读了你的书后 I mean, since yours.
无庸置疑 辛塔拉 -谢谢 Of course, Sintara. -Thank you.
我其实比我想象中还喜欢这本书 You know, I actually liked it much more than I was expecting.
这是部勇敢的作品 I mean, this is a gutsy piece of work.
是当代不可或缺的作品 And necessary for the times.
你觉得呢 辛塔拉 What did you think, Sintara?
我觉得它刻意迎合读者口味 I found it to be pretty pandering, actually.
真的吗? You did?
对啊 你没发现吗? Yes. Did you not?
我有发现 I very much did.
我认为它太过简化且无意义 I thought it was simplistic and meaningless.
它当然很简化 Well, of course, it was simplistic.
毕竟那是贫民区的语言 I mean, it's the language of the gutter.
不是什么谨慎的研究所论文 You know, not some prissy graduate thesis.
"贫民区的语言" 老天 "Language of the gutter." Jesus Christ.
我觉得我们都累了 I think our blood sugar's low.
何不休息吃个午餐? How about we take a break for lunch, huh?
可以 -好 Fine by me. -Okay.
太好了 Okay. -Really?
好 Okay.
噢 抱歉 -没关系 Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, no, you're fine.
我没打扰你吧? -没有 What, I'm not interrupting? No.
《白黑鬼》
抱歉 Sorry.
你介意我问你问题吗? Do you mind if I ask you something?
不会 Sure.
你觉得《操》在哪个部分迎合读者? What about Fuck did you find pandering?
我很难直接指出是什么 但是… I can't really put my finger on it, but...
但它跟市面上其他一些小说无异 it's not different from some of what's out there,
但就是有种… but it just felt...
没有灵魂的感觉 soulless...
我只能想到这种形容方式 is the word that I'm going to use.
你说你也同意 对吧? You said you agreed, right?
对 我认为它看起来 Yeah, I do. I think it seems written
是用来迎合有罪恶感的白人读者 to satisfy the tastes of guilt-ridden white people.
对 那种书评称之为 Yeah, the kind of book critics call important
"重要"和"必要" 而非"好作品"的书 and necessary, but not well-written.
没错 Exactly.
好 请你不要感到被冒犯 Okay, so... And please don't take offense at this,
但《操》跟你的书差别在哪里? but how is Fuck so very different from your book?
这就是你真正想谈的事吗? Is that what this is about?
你认为我的书很垃圾? -不 You think my book's trash? -No.
老实说 我还没读过你的书 To be honest, I haven't read your book.
我有读过片段 但我看不出来 I've read excerpts and it didn't seem
差别在哪里 so dissimilar.
我为了我的书做了许多研究 I did a lot of research for my book.
有些是直接来自真正的访问 Some of it was actually taken from real interviews.
也许你在学术象牙塔待太久了 Maybe you've been up in your ivory tower of academia for so long
你已经忘记人们的生活有多辛苦 you've forgotten that some people's lives are hard.
那你呢? Your life?
你上了特别的艺术大学 You went to an exclusive bohemian college.
你在纽约的高级出版社工作 You had a job at a fancy publishing house in New York.
又怎样? 我不需要写我的生活 So what? I don't need to write about my life.
我写人们有兴趣的事 I write about what interests people.
你写的是白人出版社感兴趣 打击黑人创伤的煽情内容 You write what interests white publishers fiending Black trauma porn.
毕竟他们才是买家 They're the one buying the manuscripts.
迎合他们的口味很糟糕吗? Is it bad to cater to their tastes?
若你愿意迎合人们的欲望以获益 If you're okay feeding people's base desires for profit--
我也认为迎合市场没有问题 I'm okay with giving the market what it wants.
这就是毒贩为自己找的借口 That's how drug dealers excuse themselves.
我认为毒品应该要合法化 And I think drugs should be legal.
但你不觉得受够了吗? But you're not fed up with it?
贫穷的黑人? You know, Black people in poverty?
饶舌的黑人? Black people rapping?
为奴的黑人? Black people as slaves?
黑人被警察谋杀? Black people murdered by the police?
各种煽情的文章 -够了 Old soaring narratives about... Okay.
关于悲惨的黑人 Black folks in dire circumstances
直到死前都仍在奋斗保卫尊严 who still managed to maintain their dignity before they die?
我不是说这些事情都是假的 I mean, I'm not saying these things aren't real,
但我们其实不只如此 but we're also more than this.
所以像你这样的作者们 And it's like so many writers like you can't envision us
不能让白人掐着脖子创作 without some white boot on our necks.
你会生气布雷特·伊斯顿·艾利斯 或查理·布考斯基 Do you get angry at Bret Easton Ellis or Charles Bukowski
写了受压迫者的文章 for writing about the downtrodden?
还是你只对黑人女性愤怒? Or is your ire strictly reserved for Black women?
没人读布考斯基后认为 Nobody reads Bukowski thinking
他就代表了白人经验 his is the definitive white experience.
但人们 特别是白人 读了你的书就认定我们就是如此 But people, white people, read your book and confine us to it.
他们认为我们都是那样 They think that we're all like that.
那莫克 这似乎是 Then it sounds like your issue
你与白人间的问题 而不是我 is with white people, Monk, not me.
也许吧 但我也想到这个国家中 Well, maybe, but I also think that I see the unrealized potential
那些还没成功却有潜力的黑人 of Black people in this country.
"有潜力"正代表人们认为 Potential is what people see when they think
这些人目前的处境并不够好 what's in front of them isn't good enough.
在讨论什么呢? So, what are we talking about?
卡罗琳
我很抱歉
我想跟你说一些事
你是否愿意跟我去参加 下周的文学奖颁奖典礼?
我们又要开始了 We're starting again.
我马上过去 I'll be right there.
阿瑟在吗? 对 我是莫克 Hey, can I speak to Arthur? Yeah, it's Monk.
嘿 我没事 Hey. I'm fine.
你可以帮我安排和瓦利 再见一次面吗? Listen, you think you can set up another meeting with Wiley?
我有些新想法 I've got a new idea for him.
关于另一种电影 谢啦 Different kind of movie. Thanks.
我想选《操》 I think it's Fuck for me.
我也是 -我同意 Yeah, me too. -Yeah, I agree.
我不同意 抱歉 I disagree. I'm sorry.
我认为给这本书奖项是个错误 I think it would be a mistake to award this book anything.
票数是二比三 所以… Well, it's two versus three, so...
《操》是赢家 Fuck's the winner.
《操》是赢家 Fuck is the winner.
我认为这本书不只是撼动人心 You know, it's not just that it's so affecting,
我也认为聆听黑人的心声是很重要的 I just think it's essential to listen to Black voices right now.
妈 Mother.
你知道… Did you...
你知道爸背着你偷情吗? Did you know that Dad was cheating on you?
他很不会守密 He was bad at keeping secrets.
你为何不离开他? Why didn't you leave him?
他没有我会更寂寞 He would've been even more lonely without me.
你认为他很寂寞? You thought he was lonely?
你爸是个天才 You father was a genius.
天才都很寂寞 Geniuses are lonely...
因为他们无法和我们产生连结 because they can't connect with the rest of us.
你也是个天才 儿子 You're a genius, son.
但我大多时间却没有这样的感受 Well, I certainly don't feel like one half the time.
因为你对自己太严格了 克里夫 That's because you've always been so hard on yourself, Cliffy.
现在是今晚最后一个奖项 And now for the final award for the evening.
我发誓颁完后 会让你们去吃晚餐 I promise to leave you alone, let you eat after this.
但在我宣布赢家之前 But before I announce the winner,
我想要向评审们致敬 I would like to acknowledge our judges,
这些是我们多元的评审 our incredibly diverse group of judges
他们牺牲了宝贵的时间 让我们在此共襄盛举 who've sacrificed valuable time, so we could all celebrate here tonight.
替他们鼓掌吧 他们非常了不起 So if you put your hands together, they did a fantastic job.
好的 Okay.
别再拖延 Without further ado,
今年的文学奖得主是 this year's Literary Award goes to...
我就知道 Oh, I knew it.
斯塔格·R·利亚的《操》 By Stagg R. Leigh, Fuck.
我不确定利亚先生 Well, I'm not sure if Mr. Leigh is going to grace us
会在今晚现身 with his presence here tonight.
他对关注度非常敏感 He's notoriously cagey about attention.
等等 Oh, hold on.
有些动静 Oh, okay. I see some business.
有人来了 Someone's coming. Oh, Thelonious Ellison.
我们卓越的评审之一 One of our esteemed judges.
他诡异地朝舞台走来 Weirdly walking toward the stage.
不知道原因 No idea why.
嘿 怎么了? Hey. What's going on?
抱歉 Excuse me.
不好意思 Excuse me.
我想坦承一件事 I have a confession to make.
等等 画面一片黑? Wait, wait, wait. Smash to black?
不行啦 老兄 No fucking way, dude.
这样有什么不好? What's wrong with that?
问题没有解决啊 他要说什么? There's no resolution here. What's he going to say?
我不知道 I don't know.
这才是有趣之处 I think that's what's interesting about it.
不 他应该说些什么 你说了什么? No, he should say something. What did you say?
我什么都没说 我走出典礼 Nothing. I walked out of the ceremony.
隔天我打给你说我想创作这部电影 The next day I called you to say I wanted to write this movie.
莫克 那个角色得说些什么 Well, Monk, the character should say something.
我不希望他说些什么冠冕堂皇的话 Well, I don't want him to make some grandiose speech spoon-feeding everyone
告诉大家这个故事的寓意 the moral of the story.
这个故事没有寓意 这才是重点 There is no moral. That's the idea.
我喜欢模糊的感觉 I like the ambiguity.
听着 你是个好编剧 但电影就快结束了 Okay, look. You're a good writer, and this is almost there.
但小说不是电影 好吗? But novels aren't movies, okay?
模糊不会换来更多票房 Nuance doesn't put asses in theater seats.
我们需要一个大结局 这是什么? We need a big finish. What is this?
这是你要的气泡水 It's the seltzer you asked for.
为什么这是湿的? Why is it all wet?
冷凝现象? Condensation?
冷凝现象 好吧 Condensation. Okay.
你现在是自然大师了吗? You're a fucking weatherman now.
你想来点什么吗? -不用了 谢谢 You want anything? Uh, no, I'm fine. Thank you.
好 这是莫克 我们要跟他创作一部电影 All right. This is Monk. We're going to make a movie with him
若他能把第三幕写好 if he can get the third act right.
很高兴见到你 -我也是 Nice meeting you. You as well.
给我白开水就好 不要再湿了 Get me a flat white. And, hey, never again.
好的 All right.
你脑中还有什么结局? What other endings you got in that big brain of yours?
那这样如何… How about if...
今年的文学奖得主是 This year's Literary Award goes to...
斯塔格·R·利亚的《操》 by Stagg R. Leigh, Fuck.
我想道歉 I'd like to apologize.
我最近不太对劲 I haven't been myself lately.
这样如何? What about that?
她会原谅他吗? Will she forgive him?
我不知道 I don't know.
现实世界的卡罗琳不回我电话 The real Coraline won't return my phone calls.
也许电影里的卡罗琳比较宽容 Maybe the movie Coraline is more forgiving.
不行 那样太美好了 No. It's too pat.
让这整部电影变成浪漫喜剧 Makes the whole thing feel like a romantic comedy.
我们不是要拍浪漫喜剧 We don't want to make a romantic comedy.
我们要拍真实的电影 We want to make something real.
给我点真实一点的结局 Give me something real.
那我们也可以… I mean, we could just...
嘿 怎么了? Hey, what's going on?
抱歉 Excuse me.
滚 Beat it.
我想坦白一件事 I have a confession to make.
斯塔格·R·利亚 趴下来 Stagg Leigh, on the ground now!
他在那里 There he is!
不 我不是斯塔格·R·利亚 他不存在 No, no. I'm not Stagg Leigh. He doesn't exist.
我是莫克 塞洛尼斯·艾里森 I'm Monk. Thelonious Ellison.
你是通缉犯 给我趴在地上 You're a fugitive! On the ground now!
不是的 No, no, no.
这都只是营销手法 That was all a marketing gimmick.
这全是个谎言 It was all a lie. -He's got a gun!
他有拿枪 -不 No, no! No, no!
他死了吗? He's dead?
警察把他干掉了? They smoke him?
太完美了 It's perfect.
太好了 Yes!
这实在是 That is...
太完美了 That is perfect.
该挑件礼服了 老兄 Time to pick out your tux, my brother.
这部电影一定会卖座的 We're going to the big show.
过来抄写 我们完成了 Hey, come transcribe this. We got it.
靠 Fuck.
嘿 Hey.
所以呢? So?
他们要拍你的电影吗? They going to make your movie or what?
很不幸的 是的 Unfortunately, yes.
嘿 Hey! You know what?
这样的话 你最好找个够帅的人 Good luck finding someone handsome enough
来扮演我 to play me.
他们已经找到了 I think they have.
他们找谁? Who they got?
泰勒·派瑞 Tyler Perry.
正合我意 太棒了 You got me. That's good.
好的 All right.
改编自小说《擦除》 珀西瓦尔·埃弗雷特所著
