我要不要相信今天那些傻瓜们
Am I gonna believe all them bad things
说我的坏话
them fools say about me today?
好吗
All right?
而你的妈妈 她没有选择自己的生活
As for your mama, she didn’t pick her life.
是生活选择了她
It picked her.

你会干出一番大事的

斯坦小姐 你在信里说过
Miss Stein, you said in
要写一些触动我的东西
your letter to write about what disturbs me,

particularly if it bothers no one else.
过来
Come on.
现在我明白了
And I understand that now.
接着说
Continue.
我想从女佣的角度写点东西
I’d like to write something from the point of view of the help.
这些黑人妇女养育白人的孩子
These colored women raise white children,
二十年后 那些孩子成了主人
and in 20 years, those children become the boss.
我们爱她们 她们也爱我们
We love them and they love us,
但是她们甚至不能使用我们屋里的马桶
but they can’t even use the toilets in our houses.
你不觉得那很讽刺吗 斯坦小姐
Don’t you find that ironic, Miss Stein?
我听着呢
I’m listening.
玛格丽特·米切尔 美国现代著名女作家
《飘》的作者
玛格丽特·米切尔美化了黑人保姆的形象
Margaret Mitchell glorified the mammy figure,
她们把自己一生都奉献给一个白人家庭
who dedicates her whole life to a white family.
但是从没有人问过保姆的感受
But nobody ever asked Mammy how she felt about it.
所以 你要从这个前所未有的角度入手
So, a side to this never before heard?
是的
Yes.
因为从未有人谈论过这个

That’s a hell of a risk
这样的地方实在太冒险了
to take in a place like Jackson, Mississippi.
我已经找到一个女佣了
I already have a maid.
真的吗 有一个黑人女佣愿意告诉你吗
Really? A Negro maid has already agreed to speak with you?
是的 女士
Yes, ma’am.
好吧 我想我可以先看看你写的怎么样
Well… I guess I can read what you come up with.
出版界可以注入点新东西
The book biz could use a little rattling.
谢谢 斯坦小姐
Thank you, Miss Stein.
等一下 我只是说
Hey, hey, hey, all I’m saying
看看是不是值得写下去再说
is that I’ll let you know if it’s even worth pursuing.
还有看在上帝的份儿上
And for God’s sake,
你一个二十三岁上过大学的人
you’re a 23-year-old educated woman.
快自己去租个公♥寓♥
Go get yourself an apartment.
亲爱的莫娜小姐
Dear Miss Myrna.
切洋葱的时候
When I’m chopping onions,
怎样才能防止眼泪流出

要点着吗
Is it lit?

你知道要是里弗特小姐知道
You know what Miss Leefolt do
我把她的事说出去 她会怎么对我吗
to me if she knew I was telling stories on her?
我想我们不用告诉她
I was thinking that we wouldn’t have to tell her.
其他的女佣也会保密
The other maids would have to keep it a secret, too.
其他的女佣
Other maids?
我想找四五个
I was hoping to get four or five.
看看在杰克逊镇的真实情况

you could just do William’s taxes to pay her back.
