Magpie Murders《喜鹊谋杀案（2022）》第一季第三集完整中英文对照剧本.docx

我还是不觉得你应该用倒叙法开头I just dont think you should start with a flashback.为什么？Why not?首先，这会让人摸不清头绪Well, first of all its disconcerting.（七年前）时序是往前走的Time moves forward.我写的是从1944年到1953年From 1944 to 1953. Thats what Ive written.对，但你的作品 大部分背景都是1953年Yes, but the bulk of your book takes place in 1953,我认为and I think那是你的读者最习惯的年代thats where your readers will feel most comfortable.你又知道我读者的什么了？How do you know anything about my readers?艾伦！Alan!大卖hearts;hearts;20万本的人是我Im the one who sold 200,000 books.对，是我帮你卖hearts;hearts;的Yes, and Im the one whos helped you.我的意思就只是All Im saying is,我们现在已知艾提克思彭德we already know that Atticus pund1944被关进纳粹集中营was in a Nazi prison camp in 1944因为你在头两本书 就是这么告诉我们的because you told us so in the first two books.他懂什么是邪恶，因为亲身经历过He understands evil because he experienced it.对，这我完全明白Yes, and I completely get that,但是要写他饥寒交迫 凄惨的那一面…but showing him cold and hungry and miserable...就…就是…没有任何帮助It... it... It doesnt add anything.而且读者也不是 为了恐怖元素才买hearts;hearts;你的书And all that horror, its not why people buy your books.所以大家是为了什么 才买hearts;hearts;我的书，苏珊？And why do people buy my books, Susan?因为他们想知道凶手是谁！Because they want to know who did it!没错，这就是我的重点Well, yes, thats exactly my point.我花了七个月写出九万字Seven months of my time, 90,000 words,难道就为了揭晓原来是管家干的？just to find out it was the Butler?艾伦，这没有什么好难为情的Alan, theres nothing shameful about it.你的作品读起来非常享受Your books are brilliant entertainment.所以只要是严肃、有意义的细节And anything serious, anything meaningful,任何与人物背景相关的部份anything that actually relates to the human condition,就都不重要了吗？all that is irrelevant?你的书是写一个女服务生Your book is about a waitress who gets murdered收到一大束玫瑰后被谋杀的故事after receiving a bunch of roses.我看不出来有何必要 写一整章奥斯威辛集中营的事！I dont see how a chapter in Auschwitz helps!那也许我应该换个编辑了Well, then maybe you shouldnt be editing it!他是我们家第一畅销的作者He was our most successful writer by a mile.但也是唯一跟我合不来的作者But he was the only one I didnt get on with.他的死讯当然让我们很难过We are of course devastated by h
