海伦·辛克莱半小时后才到场,但她有个好借口
Helen Sinclair came a half hour late, but she had a good excuse.
请原谅我,我的足医突发中风了

Was that a mutt?
是的,辛克莱女士
Yes, Miss Sinclair.
我恨狗!
I hate mutts!
我不想在第一天就败演员兴致
I didn’t want to overwhelm any of the actors on the first day…
所以我们一整天只通读了剧本
so all we did was read through the play.
我不能这样生活
I can’t live like this.
翻来覆去的例行公事
The same routine over and over and over.
日子就像融化的赛璐珞胶片,一样混淆在一起
The days blend together like melted celluloid.
就像一部,扭曲而毫无意义的电影
Like a film whose images become distorted and meaningless.
我要和你离婚,西尔维娅,我用无数种方式向你表达过了…

梦只是伪装了的感觉

我们越是把这些痛苦的经历带到“前”…
The more we bring these painful experiences to the fore…
他们就越容易面对
the easier they become to deal with.
“前”是什么? – 前面,是前面的意思
What’s the “fore”? – The fore. The foreground.
它是…我能插话吗? – 请便
ls it…Could l? – Please.
这是个高尔夫术语,当球往前走的时候你就喊“前”

排练过后,我很振奋

海伦·辛克莱建议我们俩,喝一杯放松一下
Helen Sinclair suggested we go for a drink to unwind.
她说她知道有个方便说话的小地方,能让我们畅谈一番
She said she knew of a little out-of-the-way speakeasy where we could talk.
真高兴又见到了老,呃… – 对啊
It was wonderful to see old, uh… – Wasn’t it?
华纳,对 – 华纳,是啊,他看起来那么苗条
Warner. Yes. – Warner, yeah. He looks so slim.
他又节食了 – 她又是谁?唉,我得喝一杯
He’s on a new diet. – Who is she? Oh, I need a drink.
奥利芙,是啊,我为她遗憾
Olive. Yes. I’m sorry about Olive.
我真的很抱歉,我们得用她换来资助
I do apologize. We needed her to raise the money.
这样的工作维持起来肯定很辛苦
It must be difficult getting a work like this on.
这就是商业社会的悲惨现实
It’s a sad reality of the marketplace, I’ll tell ya.
我们从没有机会真正谈过 – 是啊
We’ve never really had a chance to talk. – No.
嗨,伙计,要些什么? – 两杯马提尼,要很干的

三杯 – 三杯马提尼
Three. – Three martinis.
呃,我无法评判自己的作品,但我得说…
Uh, I can’t judge my own writing, but I must say…
仅仅从今天的试读我就能看出,你会把这角色演的相当出色
that just from today’s reading, I can tell how brilliant you’re going to be in this role.
这是个好剧本 – 谢谢
It’s a wonderful play. – Thank you.
不,不,我是说真的,言之有物的作品现在很少见
No, no, I mean it. It’s so rare that anything is really about something.
你知道…呃,马克斯威尔·安德森和,尤金·奥尼尔
You know…Well, there’s Max Anderson and Gene O’Neill.
也就是他们了 – 你刚刚提到了我最崇敬的两个作家
That’s about it. – You just named my two living gods.
一开始我对出演这个角色有点犹豫
I was a little reluctant at first to play the part.
这个人物太…她太…呃,呃,没有生趣了
The character is so… She’s so, um… uh, colorless.
没有生趣,对,这个我本来就想…
Colorless, yes. Well, that’s the idea…
接着我才明白了你的意图 – 你明白?
Then I realized what you were going for. – You did?
她的内心世界其实很深刻,很复杂
How profound, how complex, her inner life really is.
我试着给她一些性格矛盾
I tried to give her some contradictions.
我有些担心
I was worried.
我已经演惯了那些正面形象的女人
I’m used to playing more overtly heroic women.
没这么优柔,但更有魅力
Less tentative. More alluring.
当然不会是性冷淡
Certainly not frigid.
不,嗯,呃,西尔维娅·博丝顿是一个神经混乱的人
No, yes, yes. Well, Sylvia Poston is a mass of neuroses.
尽管我在剧本里找不到任何元素,能让这角色更亮眼…
In spite of the fact that I could really find nothing at all in the play to brighten her up…
没有真正的激♥情♥,没有诱惑力… – 一点都没有?
no real passion, no seductiveness… – Nothing?
我还是觉得她值得我演
I still think that she’s worth playing.
这个我们可以解决,对剧本做些改动就能让你更…
We could work it over, and a touch here or there could be changed to make sure you’re…
不要,不要,不要,不要,我根本不会奢求你… – 自如…
No, no, no, no. I wouldn’t dream of you… – comfortable.
为我来改动作品的一丁点
changing a word of your work for me.
天啊,我算什么?难道是什么自负的百老汇大牌?
God, who am l, some vain Broadway legend?
而你…是个冉冉升起的契科夫
You… you’re a budding Chekhov.
我并没说要改变剧情,我只是说我会在重读剧本时注意你的意见
I’m not saying I’ll distort the play. I’m just saying I’ll reread it with that in mind.
我是说,毕竟,辛克莱女士…海伦,我能这么称呼吗?
I mean, after all, Miss Sinclair… Helen. May I call you Helen?
可以 – 海伦…
Yes. – Helen…
作为一个演员,你的本能是无比珍贵的
your instincts as an actress are impeccable.
而我希望这个角色有立体感,我不想让她黯淡无光
And I want the character to have dimension. I don’t mean for her to be a drone.
你把我看透了,不是吗? – 我?

你的评论可以尖锐,也可以湿疣!
