- 我们不完全都是清教徒的后裔 - 是吗？ - We're not all descended from the Puritans. - No?
有另一个聚落,距离普利茅斯三十哩 There was another colony, 30 miles from Plymouth.
不在现今的地图上，马里蒙特 It's not on the maps today. Merrymount.
好的，你有在书中提到... Ah, right, you mentioned in your book...
聚落里什么事情都可以... 去做 The colony where anything goes... went.
可以饮酒... There was booze...
可以饮酒，通奸，也有音乐... There was booze, fornication, there was music...
甚至... They even...
你想到的都行... you name it...
他们每个月都会围绕五朔节花柱戴着面具跳舞 They even danced round the Maypole once a month, wearing masks,
去敬拜神，知道白人与印地安人会全力孤注一掷 worshiping god knows what, Whites and Indians together all going for broke.
当时是谁领导那一切？ Who was responsible for all of this?
一个叫做汤玛仕 摩登的 A character by the name of Thomas Morton.
啊... 清教徒中的 休-海夫纳 （花花公子创办人） Ah... The Hugh Hefner of the Puritans.
没错 You can say that.
我念一段当时 清教徒们的评论给你听 I will read you a quote of what the Puritans thought of
摩登的拥护者 Morton's followers.
"放荡的异教徒与无神论者，极尽淫荡之能事 "Debauched aliens and atheists falling into great licentiousness
导致堕落的生活" and leading degenerate lives. "
我当时一听到，就收拾包袱，离开 牛津，直接来到美国 When I heard that, I packed my bags, I left Oxford, I came straight to America.
放荡不羁的美国 America the licentious.
后来那些人们怎么了？ So what happened to all of those people?
清教徒镇压他们，派出迈尔斯坦迪斯 （16世纪英国在北美的殖民地普利茅斯的军事长官） The Puritans shut them down, they sent in Miles Standish,
率领民兵部队，砍倒五朔节花柱，剪断彩带 Leading the militia, who chopped down the Maypole, cut down those coloured ribbons,
禁止一切事项，宴会结束 Banners everything. The party was over.
我们就变成了死板的清教徒国家 And we became a nation of strait-laced Puritans.
嗯... Well...
那不就是你的重点吗？ Isn't that your point though?
清教徒胜利了 The Puritans won.
他们消灭一切，关于性的 你怎么形容的？ They stamped out, all things sexual How would you say?
- 性的愉悦 - 没错 - Sexual happiness. - Exactly.
直到 1960年代. Until the 1960's.
直到1960年代，当这浪潮再次在各地爆发 Until the 1960's, where it all exploded again all over the place.
没错，每个人都雀跃起舞 Right, everyone was dancing
围绕着五朔节花柱 around the Maypole,
然后宣示："要做爱，不要战争". then, "make love, not war".
若是你记得，仅在十年前 If you remember, only a decade earlier,
要是你想做爱， 1950年代要是你想做爱 If you wanted to have sex, if you wanted to make love in the 1950s,
你必须祈求，或是克制欲望... You had to beg for it, you had to cop a feel...
否则就结婚 Or get married.
就像我在1960年代做的一样 As I did in the 1960's.
你后悔吗？ Any regrets?
很后悔 Plenty.
但那是我的秘密. But that's my secret.
别告诉别人 Don't tell anybody.
那是你我间的秘密 That's just between you and me.
记得 Bette Davis 说过 （1935, 1938 两次拿下金像奖最佳女主角） I think it was Bette Davis who said:
《 年老不意味着胆小》 "Old age is not for sissies"
但是 托尔斯泰 也说过 But it was Tolstoy who said that
"男人一生最大的惊奇就是年华老去" "the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age".
年老悄悄的到来 Old age sneaks up on you,
然后你会问自己，就像我问自己 and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself,
为何老男人不能扮演他真实的年纪？ Why can't an old man act his real age?
对我来说，要怎样才能持续的 How is it possible for me to still be involved
在人生的喜剧中，参与肉欲的的部分？ in the carnal aspects of the human comedy?
因为，在我脑袋中，我完全没变 Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
她叫做 康苏拉 卡斯蒂洛 Her name was Consuela Castillo

何不就从根本问题问起？ Right to the big question, shall we?
是否因为我们阅读了之后 Does "War and Peace"
"战争与和平"就变成不同的一本书呢？ become a different book because we read it?
是的，当然，但为什么？ Yes, of course. But why?
是因为我们带给书本什么东西？ Because we bring something to the book?
我们融入了我们自己 We bring ourselves.
还有，十年后你重新读过 书还是会再次不一样 What's more, if you read the book again in 10 years, it will change again,
因为你也不同了 because you've changed.
美丽就在旁观者的眼中 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
我总是难以抗拒美丽的女性 I've always been vulnerable to female beauty,
卡斯蒂洛小姐不一样，她的姿态完美 Ms. Castillo was different, her posture was perfect.
穿着就像是一个在法律事务所 And she dressed like a young associate
工作的助理一样，有点世故，老练 of a prestigious law firm. There was a sophistication,
使她显得与众不同 that set her apart.
她自己知道她的美 She knows she's beautiful.
但是还不知道怎样运用她的美 But she's not yet sure what to do with her beauty.
不，别抄笔记，因为老实说，不值得抄 No, don't take notes. Because honestly, it's not worth it.
真的，想都别想 Really, don't give it a thought.
艺术的作品，可以提醒你， 现在的你到底是怎样的人 A work of art reminds you of who you are now.
自从我的教室外面贴上了性骚扰的投诉专线后 Since they posted the sexual harassment hotline number down the hall from my office,
我就从不曾跟学生私下联络 I never make private contact with any of my students
直到他们毕业为止 until they've received their grades.
毕业后，我都会为全班举办酒会 Afterwards I always throw a cocktail party for the class.
总是办得很成功 And it's always a success.

西方国家视回教基本教义派为 Westerners see Islamic integralists as
不文明且危险的 primitive and dangerous while,
回教基本教义派则视美国为堕落且腐败的 Islamic integralists see Americans as depraved and corrupt.

你知道嘛，一个普立兹奖得主的诗人 You know for a Pulitzer Prize winning poet,
有时显得极度缺乏想像力 sometimes you display a remarkable lack of imagination.
那就是我获奖的原因 That's why they gave me the fucking prize.
别告诉我你没有做过‘高谈阔论’的行为 Don't tell me you've never been through the process of talking the talk.
那就是我有家庭的原因，我会跟他们谈 That's why I have a family for Christ's sake. I talk to them.
也许你该再婚 Maybe you should get married again.

然而，就在那时候 Nevertheless, it was in that moment,
我那可怕的嫉妒油然而生 That my terrible jealousy was born.

讲完电话，我又会感到焦虑 and then I feel anxious after we've spoken.

他没跟我在一起的晚上，我变的畸形 On the nights she isn't with me I am deformed,

因为这女孩会告诉我一千遍 And all this because this girl will tell me a thousand times
她有多崇拜我，看重我 how much she adores me and means it.
这女孩从不会说，她有多可望我的老二 This girl will never once tell me she yearns for my cock.

至少现在往好处想 Good thing is, at least now,
结束了，他将不会再见我，我了解她 it's finished, she won't want to see me anymore. I understand her.
换做我是她，我也不想再见面 I mean, even I wouldn't want to see me anymore if I was her.
或许她就是这样想 Maybe it's just as well.
- 是的 - 就是这样 - Yes. - Just as well.
噢，天呀 Oh, my God.

所以，至少我要知道 So, at least I would like to know,
对你来说，我是什么？ who I am for you.
你那些嫉妒与占有欲，对我一点也没有帮助 The fact that you're jealous and possessive doesn't help me, at all.
即使是小孩子也会对玩具嫉妒 直到获得另一个新玩具为止 Even little kids are jealous of their toys until they get tired of them.
一再要求新玩具. 所以... and want new ones. So...
我们之间也像那样子吗？ is that how it's going to be between us two?
你是否曾想像过... Have you ever imagined...
有我跟你在一起的未来？ a future with me?
跟你一起的未来让我害怕 A future with you scares me.

为什么？ Why?
因为我们年纪相差三十多岁 Because, there's a 30 odd year age difference between you and me,
而你的人生路还那么的长 and you have your whole life ahead of you.
你意识到这问题，只是早晚的事 It's just a matter of time before you realise it too.
