她接受了我作為塞巴斯蒂安的朋友
She accepted me as Sebastian's friend

and sought to make me hers also
在這過(guò)程中 不知不覺(jué)地動(dòng)搖了我們
and, in doing so, unwittingly struck at the roots
友情的根基

One morning a week or two later,
朱麗婭由一位高大的男人送至牛津

是我最后舉辦的幾次傳統(tǒng)聚會(huì)中的一次
one of the last of the old kind that I gave.

So H.R.H. ended up having...
我們見到他時(shí) 他應(yīng)該不超過(guò)30歲
He can't have been more than 30 at the time we met him,
但在我們牛津?qū)W生看來(lái) 雷克斯很老
but Rex seemed very old to us in Oxford.
他從加拿大打完仗回來(lái)
He'd arrived from Canada after the war,
成了一個(gè)下院議員
had become a Member of Parliament,
一個(gè)投機(jī)商人 一個(gè)好人
a gambler, and a good fellow,
幸運(yùn)地有很多錢
lucky with money.
你一定得記住 賴德先生 他是從殖民地來(lái)的
You must remember, Mr. Ryder, he's a Colonial.
是吧 親愛(ài)的
Aren't you, darling?
他沒(méi)有上過(guò)任何大學(xué)
He's never been to any sort of university.
幸運(yùn)的家伙
Lucky chap.
好吧 這意味著你要比其他人
Well, it just means you start out life
晚三年開始生活
three years behind the other fellow.
而且雷克斯從來(lái)沒(méi)有在一個(gè)地方待超過(guò)三年
And Rex has never stayed anywhere for three years.

Julia treated him as she seemed to treat all the world,
帶著輕微的輕蔑 但又有種占有感
with mild disdain but with an air of possession.
聽著 下個(gè)月在倫敦
Look, I'm helping to organize
我要幫忙舉辦一個(gè)可怕的慈善舞會(huì)
a ghastly charity ball in London next month.
你們兩個(gè)一定要來(lái)
You two absolutely must come.
雷克斯會(huì)先舉辦一個(gè)晚宴
Rex is having a dinner party first.
我不覺(jué)得我們應(yīng)該去
I don't see why we should.
哦 但你一定要來(lái)
Oh, but you must.
雷克斯的問(wèn)題是 他不認(rèn)識(shí)什么年輕人
The trouble with Rex is, he doesn't know anybody young.
他的朋友都是城里狡猾的商人
His friends are all leathery old sharks in the city
和沉悶的議員
and dreary MPs.
好吧 我們會(huì)看到的
Well, we'll see.
快點(diǎn) 查爾斯
Come on, Charles.
抱歉 朗特一直在找我的袖扣
Sorry, Lunt's been playing games with my cufflinks.
博伊 你不是也去吧
Boy, you're not coming, are you?
我去啊 高興的 親愛(ài)的博伊 高興的
Yes, aren't I? Delighted, dear Boy, delighted.
好吧 真是驚喜
Well, that's a surprise.
我猜我得坐在后面了
I suppose I'll have to go in the back.
我猜你意識(shí)到這將是
I suppose you realize this going to be
這一季最無(wú)聊的舞會(huì)之一
one of the most stupefyingly boring balls of the season.
好吧 這一季我還沒(méi)有去過(guò)太多舞會(huì)
Well, I haven't been to too many balls this season,
所以沒(méi)關(guān)系
so that's all right.
多好的一天
Remarkably on a good day.
—哦 小心點(diǎn) —什么
-Oh, careful. -What?
香檳差點(diǎn)掉了
Nearly lost the bubbly.
我的天 塞巴斯蒂安 你不會(huì)要這么
My God, Sebastian, you're not gonna drive like this
一路開到倫敦去 不是吧
all the way to London, are you?
我會(huì)暈車的
I shall be sick.
塞巴斯蒂安和我將在馬奇曼公館過(guò)夜
Sebastian and I were to spend the night at Marchmain House,
所以我們?nèi)ツ抢飺Q衣服
so we went there to dress
當(dāng)我們換衣服時(shí) 還喝了一瓶香檳
and, while we dressed, drank bottle of champagne.
但你在拉我
But you're pulling.
你不能那樣拉我一圈
You can't haul me around like that.
哦
Oh!
天哪 朱麗婭 你還沒(méi)有換衣服
God, Julia, you're not even changed.
我知道
I know.
我會(huì)很晚去
I'm going to be horribly late.
你們最好先去雷克斯家
You'd better go on to Rex's without me.
你好討厭
You're very tedious.
你們能來(lái)真好
It's heavenly of you to come.
我們會(huì)非常無(wú)聊的
We're all going to be hideously bored.
嗯
Mm.
好吧 別待太久了
Well, don't be too long.
謝謝你
Thank you.
讓他們保持高興
Keep them happy.
是 先生
Yes, sir.
我想問(wèn) 朱麗婭到底在哪
I say, where on Earth is Julia?
我怎么會(huì)知道
How should I know?
可能去別的地方吃晚飯了吧
Probably gone to have dinner somewhere else.
天哪
Gosh.
這是她的舞會(huì)
It's her dance.
但她一個(gè)人怎么過(guò)來(lái)呢
But how will she get there without us?
她會(huì)沒(méi)事的
She'll be all right.
哦 雷克斯 那個(gè)可笑的大瓶酒
Oh, Rex, that absurd Jeroboam.
你為什么一定要什么都這么大呢
Why must you have everything so big?
我們一起喝就不算大了
Won't be too big for us.
朋友們 現(xiàn)在聽我說(shuō)
Now, listen, you chaps.
我們還是逃離這個(gè)可怕的舞會(huì) 去梅菲爾德媽媽那里吧
Let's chuck this ghastly dance and go to Ma Mayfield's.
梅菲爾德媽媽是誰(shuí)
Who's Ma Mayfield?
你知道梅菲爾德媽媽的
You know Ma Mayfield.
每個(gè)人都知道老一百號(hào)的梅菲爾德媽媽
Everyone knows Ma Mayfield of the Old Hundredth,
鎮(zhèn)上最好的俱樂(lè)部
the best club in town.
我在那有個(gè)熟人 一個(gè)叫埃菲的小甜妞
I've got a regular there, sweet little thing named Effie.
如果她知道我來(lái)了倫敦但沒(méi)去找她
There'd be the devil to pay if she heard I'd been in London
我就有得受了
and hadn't been to see her,
所以去梅菲爾德媽媽那里見見埃菲吧
so come and meet Effie at Ma Mayfield's.
好吧 我們?nèi)ッ贩茽柕聥寢屇抢镆娨姲7?br>All right, let's go and see Effie at Ma Mayfield's.
現(xiàn)在 我們需要從好心的莫特蘭這里再拿瓶酒
Now, we need another bottle of pop off the good Mottram...

Brenda.
我和高興你沒(méi)有讓他為我推遲晚宴

這是他的加拿大禮節(jié)
It's his Canadian courtesy.
好吧 謝天謝地 你來(lái)了
Well, thank God you're here.
我們終于能走了
At last, we can go.

This is all very well,
但你確定你知道那地方在哪嗎

我當(dāng)然知道 秀水街100號(hào)
Of course I do. 100 Sink Street.
