[00:01.41]	Chapter 3 A Letter to'The Times'
[00:08.08]	I did not see Merrick again for two years.
[00:12.54]	Then, one day, the police found him.
[00:17.21]	He had my card in his hand,
[00:20.09]	so they brought him to the London Hospital.
[00:23.43]	He was very tired, hungry, and dirty,
[00:28.45]	so I put him to bed in a quiet little room.
[00:33.17]	But he could not stay at the hospital.
[00:36.06]	He was not ill,
[00:37.80]	and of course the beds in the hospital are for ill people.
[00:42.17]	We have no beds for hungry people, or ugly people.
[00:48.00]	I told the Hospital Chairman, Mr Cars Gomm, about Merrick.
[00:54.88]	He listened carefully,
[00:57.39]	and then he wrote a letter to the editor of The Times newspaper.
[01:03.58]	From The Times, December 4th, 1886
[01:10.01]	A Letter to the Editor.
[01:13.92]	Dear Sir,
[01:16.75]	I am writing to you about a man in our hospital.
[01:21.17]	He needs your help.
[01:23.90]	His name is Joseph Merrick, and he is 27 years old.
[01:31.14]	He is not ill,
[01:33.58]	but he cannot go out of the hospital because he is very, very ugly.
[01:40.67]	Nobody likes to look at him,
[01:43.51]	and some people are afraid him.
[01:47.41]	We call him 'The Elephant Man'.
[01:52.53]	Two years ago, Merrick lived in a shop near the London Hospital.
[01:59.88]	For two pence, people could see him and laugh at him.
[02:06.15]	One day Dr Frederick Treves-a hospital doctor--saw Merrick,
[02:13.22]	brought him to this hospital, and looked at him carefully.
[02:18.53]	Dr Treves could not help Merrick,
[02:22.30]	but he gave him his card.
[02:25.74]	Then the shopkeeper, Silcock, took merrick to Belgium.
[02:32.58]	A lot of people in Belgium wanted to see him,
[02:36.39]	and so after a year Merrick had ￡50.
[02:41.85]	But then Silcock took Merrick's ￡50,
[02:45.52]	left Merrick in Belgium, and went back to London.
[02:51.91]	Merrick came back to London by himself.
[02:56.26]	Everyone on the train and the ship looked at him,
[02:59.97]	and laughed at him. In London, the police put him in prison.
[03:06.00]	But then they saw DrTreves's card,
[03:10.05]	and brought Merrick to the London Hospital.
[03:14.01]	This man has no money, and he cannot work.
[03:19.20]	His face and body are very, very ugly,
[03:23.40]	so of course many people are afraid of him.
[03:28.11]	But he is a very interesting man.
[03:31.25]	He can read and write, and he thinks a lot.
[03:35.72]	He is a good, quiet man.
[03:39.61]	Sometimes he makes things with his hands and gives them to the nurses,
[03:44.41]	because they are kind to him.
[03:48.00]	He remembers his mother,
[03:50.38]	and he has a picture of her.
[03:52.93]	She was beautiful and kind, he says.
[03:56.98]	But he never sees her now.
[04:00.06]	She gave him to Silcock a long time ago.
[04:05.44]	Can the readers of The Times help us?
[04:08.94]	This man is not ill, but he needs a home.
[04:14.19]	We can give him a room at the hospital,
[04:17.07]	but we need some money.
[04:19.55]	Please write to me at the London Hospital.
[04:23.96]	Yours faithfully,
[04:25.88]	F. C. Carr Gomm.
[04:28.64]	Chairman of the London Hospital
[04:33.87]	The readers of The Times are very kind people.
[04:38.73]	They gave us a lot of money. After one week,
[04:43.27]	we had ￡50, 000, so Merrick could live in the Hospital for all his life.
[04:50.77]	We could give him a home.

歌词翻译

[00:01.41]	第3章给《泰晤士报》的一封信
[00:08.08]	我已经有两年没有见到麦里克了。
[00:12.54]	后来有一天，警察发现了他，
[00:17.21]	他手里有我的名片，
[00:20.09]	于是警察就把他带到伦敦医院。
[00:23.43]	他很疲惫、饥饿、肮脏，
[00:28.45]	于是我把他安置在一间很安静的小房间里休息。
[00:33.17]	他不能呆在医院里，
[00:36.06]	因为他没有生病，
[00:37.80]	医院里的床当然是给病人用的。
[00:42.17]	我们不能给饥饿的人或丑陋的人提供床铺使用。
[00:48.00]	我将麦里克的情况告诉给院长卡尔·戈蒙先生。
[00:54.88]	他听得很仔细，
[00:57.39]	然后他给“泰晤士宝”的编辑写了一封信。
[01:03.58]	摘自1886年12月4日的《泰晤士报》，
[01:10.01]	给编辑的一封信。
[01:13.92]	亲爱的先生：
[01:16.75]	我写信告诉你一个在我们医院的某人的情况，
[01:21.17]	他需要你的帮助。
[01:23.90]	他叫约瑟夫·麦里克，今年27岁。
[01:31.14]	他并没有生病，
[01:33.58]	但是他不能走出医院，因为他长得很丑很丑。
[01:40.67]	没有人愿意看他一眼，
[01:43.51]	还有一些人害怕他，
[01:47.41]	我们叫他“象人”。
[01:52.53]	两年前，麦里克住在伦敦医院附近的一家商店里，
[01:59.88]	花2个便士，人们就可以看到他、嘲笑他。
[02:06.15]	有一天，医院医生弗雷德里克·特里维斯博士见到了麦里克，
[02:13.22]	将他带到我们医院里，并给他仔细检查。
[02:18.53]	由于特里维斯博士无法帮助麦里克，
[02:22.30]	只好给了他自己的一张名片。
[02:25.74]	后来店老板西尔库克将他带到比利时，
[02:32.58]	在那儿许多人都想看到他，
[02:36.39]	所以，一年后，麦里克得到了50英镑钞票。
[02:41.85]	但是后来西尔库克拿走了麦里克的50英镑，
[02:45.52]	将他留在比利时，而自己回到了伦敦。
[02:51.91]	麦里克独自一人回到伦敦的，
[02:56.26]	火车上、轮船上的每个人都看着他、
[02:59.97]	嘲笑他。在伦敦，警察把他关进监狱。
[03:06.00]	后来，他们看到了特里维斯博士的名片，
[03:10.05]	就把麦里克带到了伦敦医院。
[03:14.01]	他没有钱，又不能工作，
[03:19.20]	他的脸和身体都非常丑陋，
[03:23.40]	当然还有许多人都害怕他。
[03:28.11]	但他是一个很有趣的人，
[03:31.25]	他会读书写字，会思考，
[03:35.72]	他是一个安份的好人。
[03:39.61]	有时他用自己的双手做些玩意儿送给护士们，
[03:44.41]	因为她们对他很和善。
[03:48.00]	他记得他的母亲，
[03:50.38]	他有他母亲的照片。
[03:52.93]	他说他的母亲很漂亮、温柔。
[03:56.98]	但是，现在他再也没有见过她。
[04:00.06]	她在很久以前就把他给了西尔库克。
[04:05.44]	《泰晤士报》的读者们能否帮助我们？
[04:08.94]	这个人没有生病，他需要有一个家，
[04:14.19]	我们在医院里可以给他一间房子，
[04:17.07]	但我们需要钱，
[04:19.55]	请给我回信到伦敦医院。
[04:23.96]	你的忠实的
[04:25.88]	F.C.卡尔·戈蒙
[04:28.64]	伦敦医院院长
[04:33.87]	《泰晤士报》的读者们都很仁慈，
[04:38.73]	他们给了我们很多钱，一星期后，
[04:43.27]	我们收到了五万英镑，足够让麦里克在医院里住一辈子。
[04:50.77]	我们可以给他安个家。
