“陆上的人喜欢寻根究底，虚度很多的光阴。冬天忧虑夏天的迟来，夏天担心冬天的将至。所以你们不停到处去追求一个遥不可及、四季如夏的地方—我并不羡慕。”

Why why why why why... I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes they can't wait for summer; summer comes they're living drilled of winter. That's why you're never tired of travelling, with chasing some place far away, where there's always summer. That doesn't sound like a good bet to me.

“城市那么大，看不到尽头。在哪里 ? 我能看到吗 ? 就连街道都已经数不清了，找一个女人，盖一间房子，买一块地，开辟一道风景，然后一起走向死路。太多的选择，太复杂的判断了，难道你不怕精神崩溃吗 ? 陆地，太大了，他像一艘大船，一个女人，一条长长的航线，我宁可舍弃自己的生命，也不愿意在一个找不到尽头的世界生活，反正，这个世界现在也没有人知道我。我之所以走到一半停下来，不是因为我所能见，而是我所不能见。” “键盘有始有终，你确切知道 88 个键就在那儿，错不了。它并不是无限的，而音乐，才是无限的。你能在键盘上表现的音乐是无限的，我喜欢这样，我能轻松应对，而你现在让我走过跳板，走到城市里，等着我的是一个没有尽头的键盘，我又怎能在这样的键盘上弹奏呢 ? 那是上帝的键盘啊 ! ”

“All that city. You just couldn't see the end to it. The end? Please? You please just show me where it ends? It was all very

fine on that gangway. And I was grand too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed. There

was no problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. You understand that? What I didn't

see. In all that sprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where the

whole thing came to an end. The end of the world... ”

“所有那些城市，你就是无法看见尽头。尽头？拜托！拜托你给我看它的尽头在哪？当时，站在舷梯向外看还好。我那时穿着大衣，感觉也很棒，觉得自己前途无量，然后我就要下船去。放心！完全没问题！可是，阻止了我的脚步的，并不是我所看见的东西，而是我所无法看见的那些东西。你明白么？我看不见的那些。在那个无限蔓延的城市里，什么东西都有，可惟独没有尽头。根本就没有尽头。我看不见的是这一切的尽头，世界的尽头。”

“Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eightyeight of them, nobody can tell you any different.

They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can

live by. ”

“拿一部钢琴来说，从琴键开始，又结束。你知道钢琴只有88个键，随便什么琴都没差。它们不是无限的。你才是无限的，在琴键上制作出的音乐是无限的。我喜欢这样，我活的惯。” “You get me up on that gangway and you're rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions

of keys that never end, and that's the truth, Max. That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is

infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano. ”

“你把我推到舷梯上然后扔给我一架有百万琴键的钢琴，百万千万的没有尽头的琴键，那是事实，max，它们没有尽头。那键盘是无限延伸的。然而如果琴键是无限的，那么在那架琴上就没有你能弹奏的音乐，你坐错了地方，那是上帝的钢琴。”

“Christ! Did, did you see the streets? Just the streets… There were thousands of them! And how do you do it down there？

How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one

way to die... ”

“天啊！你……你看过那些街道吗？仅仅是街道，就有上千条！你下去该怎么办？你怎么选择其中一条来走？怎么选择“属于你自己的”一个女人，一栋房子，一块地，或者选择一道风景欣赏，选择一种方法死去。 ”

“All that world is weighing down on me, you don't even know where it comes to an end, and aren't you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? The enormity of living it? ”

“那个世界好重，压在我身上。你甚至不知道它在哪里结束，你难道从来不为自己生活在无穷选择里而害怕得快崩溃掉吗？”

“I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here,

but never more than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. I

learned to live that way. ”

“我是在这艘船上出生的，整个世界跟我并肩而行，但是，行走一次只携带两千人。这里也有欲望，但不会虚妄到超出船头和船尾。你用钢琴表达你的快乐，但音符不是无限的。我已经习惯这么生活。”

“Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful; it's a voyage too long, a perfume too strong. It's a music I don't know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone.

You're an exception, Max, you're the only one who knows I'm here. You're a minority, and you better get used to it.

Forgive me, my friend, but I'm not getting off.”

“陆地？陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，一个太漂亮的女人，一段太长的旅行，一瓶太刺鼻的香水，一种我不会创作的音乐。我永远无法放弃这艘船，不过幸好，我可以放弃我的生命。反正没人记得我存在过，而你是例外，max，你是唯一一个知道我在这里的人。你是唯一一个，而且你最好习惯如此。原谅我，朋友，我不会下船的。”

我可以在有限的钢琴键中创造出无限的旋律，但我无法在无限的城市中，无尽的街道间找到属于我的空间。

这是个秘密，秘密是不应该被公开的

令我恐惧的不是我所见，而是我所未见。

 

第二篇：海上钢琴师台词.doc

-1900: What's the matter? You lose your sea legs? Where the hell did you find that record?

你怎么了？晕船吗？你到底在哪找到那张唱片的？

-Max: What have you been up to all these years?

这些年你都做什么了？

-1900: Making music

创造音乐。

-Max: Even during the war?

甚至战争时期也在做吗？

-1900: Even when no one was dancing anymore. Even when the bombs were falling.

即使再也没人跳舞的时候，即使炸弹四处飞的时候

And I kept playing till the ship got here

我一直都在演奏，没有停歇，直到船驶到了这里。

-Max: Call this a ship? It's more like a mountain of dynamite about to explode. A bit dangerous,

don't you think?

你还叫它船啊！这东西比起船更像是个装满炸药即将爆炸的山，你不觉得有点危险吗？

-1900: And you, Max? Where's your trumpet?

你呢，Max？你的小号呢？

-Max: I gave it up as well, as while back. But, you know, now I'm in the mood for starting again.

我很久以前就不吹小号了，但是，你知道，现在我又想重新开始吹了。

I'm busting with new ideas. Let's start a duo. You and me. Or our own band. The Danny

Boodman.

现在我脑袋里全是新点子，咱们一起组个二重奏吧！你和我，或者组个我们自己的乐队，乐

队名就叫Danny Boodman。

T.D. Lemon Nineteen Hundred Big Band. It gets the blood going. We'd be a smash. T.D·Lemon 1900 大乐队怎么样？这名字让人热血沸腾吧！我们肯定会特别火。

Come on, Nineteen Hundred. Come with me. Let's get off.

来吧，1900，和我一起，我们下船吧！

We'll watch the fireworks from the pier and then we'll start from scratch. Sometimes that's the

way you have to do it.

我们可以在码头那看烟花，然后我们从零开始，有时候从零开始是必要的。

You go right back to the beginning. You're never really done for as long as you've got a good story

and someone to tell it to.

你得回到起点，这并不是结束。除非你有了一段可以拿出去讲给他人听的故事才是结束。

Remember? You told me that. Well, what a stack of stories you got now.

记得吗？那是你告诉我的。看吧，你现在的故事可真是都可以写成一本书了。

The world would be hanging on your every word, crazy for your music. Believe me.

全世界都会对你的每一个字洗耳恭听的，世界会为你的音乐而疯狂。相信我。

-1900: All that city. You just couldn't see an end to it

整座城市，你根本无法看到它的尽头。

The end... please? You please just show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway.

尽头…拜托！你能告诉我哪里才是城市的尽头吗？在跳板上我还觉得自己很好，

And I was grand too in my overcoat.

一切都还好，穿着我的那件大衣。

I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed. That's wasn't the problem. It wasn't what I

saw that stopped me, Max

我确实看起来很有型，然后我确实打算要下去，我发誓。那并不是我最终回身上船的原因，并不是我所看到的让我停下了脚步，Max。

It was what I didn't see. Understand? What I didn't see. In all that scrawling city there was everything except an end.

让我停下脚步的是我所没有看到的，明白吗？我所看不到的城市里纵横交错的街道，除了尽头什么都有。

There was no end. What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world.

那里没有尽头，我所看不到的是我下船之后的未来，我看不到世界的尽头。

You take a piano. Keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them, nobody can tell you any different

用钢琴打比方，钢琴键就是有始有终的。你也很清楚明了的知道钢琴一共有88个键，没有人能对此提出异议。

They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on those keys the music that you can make is infinite. 没有无限的因素在里面，你才是那个无限的因素的主导。在那些琴键上，你演奏出来的音乐才有万千变化。

I like that. That I can live by. You get me up on that gangway and you roll out in front of me a keyboard of millions and billions of keys that never end,

我喜欢这样，我只能过这样的生活。你把我弄到那个跳板上，然后你突然在我面前扔了一个上面有着万千琴键的键盘，

and that's the truth, Max, that they never end.

这就是我不能下船的原因，Max。是因为他们无穷无尽。

That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite then there is no music you can play.

那个键盘本身就是无穷无尽的，而如果键盘是无穷无尽的话，那么在上面演奏音乐是不可能的。

You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.

你根本就没有站在合适的位置上，那是上帝的钢琴。

Christ, did you see the streets? Just the streets. There were thousands of them.

天啊，你看到那些街道了吗？只是街道就有成百上千条。

How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one?

你如何能在那里生活？你如何从那么多中间选择？

One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die.

一个女人，一幢房子，一小块你可以看着的称之为自己的风景的土地，还有一种死亡的方式。 All that world just weighing down on you. You don't even know where it comes to an end. 那整个世界都只是重压在你身上，你甚至不知道什么时候才是结束，是尽头。

I mean, aren't you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it?

我是说，难道你从来都没害怕自己会因为想到这个就崩溃吗？

At the enormity of living it? I was born on this ship. And the world passed me by.

甚至只是想想生活在其中就不寒而栗吗？我是生在这艘船上的，我已经和这个世界擦身而过了。

But two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here. But never more than fit between prow and stern.

但是每次这里都会容纳两千人，而且还承载了人们的愿望，但是没有比船头和船尾之间更适合的了。

You played out your happiness but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. Land?

你演奏出了自己的快乐幸福，但那是在一架有始有终的钢琴上，那就是我所学会的生活方式。陆地？

Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful. It's a voyage too long, perfume too strong.

陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，是一个太过于美丽的女人，是一段太长的航程，是太过于浓烈的香水。

It's music I don't know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best I can step off my life. 是我不会弹奏的曲子。我永远都不能离开这艘船。最不济，我还能退出生命的舞台。

After all, I don't exist for anyone. You're the exception, Max. You're the only one who knows I'm here.

毕竟我不为任何人而存在，你是例外，Max。你是唯一知道我在这里的人。

You're a minority. And you'd better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I'm not getting off. 你是少数，而且你最好习惯它。原谅我，我的朋友，我是不会下船的。

Hey, Max. Picture the scene at the Golden Gates. Some guy searching a list trying to find my name, not finding it.

Max，想像一下在天国的门前有个人看着名单试图找到我的名字，却找不到。

What did you say your name was again? Nineteen Hundred. Niemann, Nightingale, Ninestock... Nittledeen?

再说一遍你叫什么。1900。Niemann,，Nightingale,，Ninestock…Nittledeen?

Well, you see, sir I was born on a ship. Beg your pardon? Born, raised, and died on a ship.

你看，先生，我是在船上出生的。你说什么？我在船上生，在船上长，在船上结束生命。 Maybe I'm not registered there. Shipwreck? Six and a half tons of dynamite Boom. Six and a half tons of dynamite Boom.

说不定你的册子里没我的名字。你是死在船上的？六吨半的炸药炸的。

Feeling better now? Yeah, I'm fine except I lost an arm. An arm? Yes, in the explosion.

现在感觉好多了吧？是啊，感觉还不错，除了少了条胳膊。少胳膊？对，炸飞了。 Well, you should be able to find one over there. Which one did you say you were missing? 没事，你能在那找到条新胳膊，你少了哪条胳膊？

Left, sir. I'm dreadfully sorry, we only seem to have two rights. Two right arms? Afraid so.

左边的，先生。十分抱歉，我们这里似乎只剩下两条右胳膊了。只有两条右胳膊？恐怕是这样。

Would you mind awfully if... If I what? Well, if you take a right arm instead of a left?

你介不介意如果…如果我什么？如果你能接受用一条右胳膊替代左边的？

Well, all things considered better a right arm than nothing, I suppose.

那么，好像就算只有右胳膊也比什么都没有强，我想是这样。

Couldn't agree more. No laughing matter, Max. What a cock-up. Spend eternity with two right arms?

双手赞成！笑也没用，Max。糟糕啊，下辈子得一直过只有两条右胳膊的生活。

I mean, how would you make the sign of the cross? Hey, Max. Imagine the music I could play with two right arms.

我说，你要怎么用胳膊做出十字的形状啊？Max，想象一下我用两条右胳膊弹奏的钢琴曲吧。 Hope I can find a piano up there.

希望天堂有钢琴。
