left in this barbaric
曾被称为”人性”的文明之光的
slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.
没错 这就是我们所能提供的
Indeed, that’s what we provide
以谦虚 谦逊 谦卑的姿态…
in our own modest, humble, insignificant…
去他妈的
Oh, fuck it.
她在哪 克洛蒂尔 带我过去
Where is she, Clotilde? Take me to her.
你看起来真美 亲爱的 真的
You’re looking so well, darling. You really are.
他们手艺太棒了
They’ve done a marvelous job.
虽然我不知道
I don’t know what sort of
他们在停尸间给你涂了什么
cream they’ve put on you down at the morgue,
但我也想要
but I want some.
真的 你比这些年来看上去都漂亮
Honestly, you look better than you have in years.
你现在充满了活力

那好吧
All right, then.
我去去就回 亲爱的
I shan’t be long, darling.
我们被护送着穿过一扇绿色的大门
We were escorted through a green baize door,
从走廊下去 进了一个食品储藏室
down a narrow service corridor and into the butler’s pantry.
没多久 厨房♥的门开了
A moment later, the kitchen passage swung open
一个穿着白色衣服的小个子男人进了房♥间
and a small servant dressed in white jolted into the room.
我永远忘不了他脸上的表情
I’ve never forgotten the look on that man’s face.
到底怎么回事
What the devil is going on?
我这辈子
I, myself, had never set
从没迈进过这样的屋子
foot inside a house of this kind in my life.
接下来要发生的事我也一直非常不解
I understood very little about the events that were to follow.
但最终 我还是明白了
But, eventually, I came to recognize,
当事情关乎到一笔巨大的财富时
when the destiny of a great fortune is at stake,
人类的贪婪会像毒药一样流淌在血液里
men’s greed spreads like a poison in the bloodstream.
叔叔们 侄子们 堂亲们
Uncles, nephews, cousins,
那些几乎没有血缘关系的亲戚们
in-laws of increasingly tenuous connection.
这个老女人最疏离的远亲们
The old woman’s most distant relations
此刻都从阴暗的角落里冒了出来
had come foraging out of the woodwork.
而这次集♥会♥的主持人
At the head of this congregation,
却完全出乎我们的意料
it was a disorienting coincidence,
我们见到了我们的代理人科瓦克
we discovered our own Deputy Kovacs,
当然 他本身就是个律师
himself an important attorney, of course.
他是这位已故寡妇的遗嘱执行人
He was the executor of the dead widow’s estate.
这是D夫人最后的遗嘱
This is Madame D’s last will and testament.
其中包括一笔养老保险
It consists of a general tontine
是她在46年前丈夫去世前购买♥♥的
drawn up before the event of her husband’s death 46 years ago,
还有这四十多年来执行过的
in combination with 635 amendments,
635份遗嘱修正 注释
notations, corrections, and letters of wishes
更正和遗愿
executed during the subsequent decades.
这些财产最终的法定继承人
The ultimate legality of this accumulation
还有待进一步分♥析♥
requires further analysis,
但本委员会认为 D夫人有意
but in the opinion of this office, it was Madame D’s intention
将这一大笔财产的控制权
that control of the vast bulk of her estate
立刻移交给他的儿子德米特里
should be transferred, forthwith, to her son, Dmitri,
并将特别补助赠给他的姊妹们
with special allowances for his sisters,
玛格丽特 莱塔琪亚 卡洛琳娜
Marguerite, Laetizia, and Carolina,
还有一些小的物件将会送给
and minor gifts for various members of the extended family
受邀名单上的亲戚们
as shown in the List of Recipients,
这些事宜我会在办理过程中逐一说明
which I will elucidate in due course.
然而
However.
有一份遗嘱附录
An additional codicil,
是今早才邮寄到我这里的
delivered into my possession by post only this morning,
所有证据表明 这是由D夫人
and, by all indications, sent by Madame D
在她生命的最后时刻寄来的
during the last hours of her life,
里面包括一项对原先遗嘱的修订
contains an amendment to the original certificate,
根据法律规定 我必须宣读给大家
which, as prescribed by law, I will read to you now.
这份文件的真实性
The authenticity of this document
还没有得到完全证实
has not yet been confirmed by the presiding magistrate,
所以我希望大家能稍安勿躁
so I ask that all parties be patient and refrain from comment
等到一切调查都结束了再做讨论
until such time as our investigations can be completed.
