[00:01.44]	Chapter 4 Merrick's First Home
[00:07.31]	We gave Merrick two rooms at the back of the hospital.
[00:11.89]	One room was a bathroom,
[00:14.10]	so he could have a bath every day.
[00:17.79]	Soon his skin was much better,
[00:20.40]	and there was no horrible smell.
[00:24.62]	The second room had a bed, table , and chairs.
[00:30.86]	I visited him every day, and talked to him.
[00:35.85]	He loved reading, and talking about books.
[00:40.29]	At first he did not know many books：
[00:44.62]	the Bible, and one or two newspapers, that's all.
[00:49.69]	But I gave him some books of love stories,
[00:52.91]	and he liked them very much.
[00:55.83]	He read them again and again,
[00:58.37]	and talked about them often.
[01:01.32]	For him, the men and women in these books were alive,
[01:05.86]	like you and me. He was very happy.
[01:11.17]	But sometimes it was difficult for him.
[01:15.60]	At first, one or two people in the hospital laughed
[01:19.81]	at Merrick because he was ugly.
[01:22.89]	Sometimes, they brought their friends to look at him.
[01:28.51]	One day a new nurse came to the hospital,
[01:32.76]	and nobody told her about Merrick.
[01:36.72]	She took his food to his room,
[01:39.42]	and opened the door.
[01:41.30]	Then she saw him.
[01:43.53]	She screamed, dropped the food on the floor,
[01:47.49]	and ran out of the room.
[01:50.28]	I was very angry with the nurse,
[01:52.76]	and went to see Merrick.
[01:55.67]	He was not happy about it, but he was not very angry.
[02:00.69]	I think he felt sorry for the girl.
[02:05.10]	'People don't like looking at me.
[02:09.63]	I know that, Dr 26Treves, 'he said.
[02:14.49]	'They usually laugh or scream. '
[02:19.57]	'Well, I don't want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph, '
[02:24.47]	I said angrily. 'I want them to help you. '
[02:29.20]	'Thank you, doctor, 'he said, in his strange slow voice.
[02:38.22]	'But it's not important.
[02:41.75]	Everyone laughs at me.
[02:45.34]	I understand that. '
[02:49.34]	I looked at him sadly.
[02:52.39]	In his one good hand, his left hand,
[02:56.45]	he had the little picture of his mother.
[03:00.26]	He looked at the picture for a minute,
[03:03.26]	and then put it by a flower on the table.
[03:07.41]	A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his enormous, ugly face.
[03:16.25]	'Dr Treves, 'he said, slowly.
[03:22.04]	'You and the nurses arevery kind,
[03:28.32]	and I'm very happy here.
[03:32.13]	Thank you very much.
[03:35.68]	But…I know I can't stay here long,
[03:41.90]	and…I would like to live in a lighthouse,
[03:48.11]	after the hospital, please.
[03:51.97]	A lighthouse, or a home for blind people.
[03:57.75]	I think those are the best places for me.
[04:03.93]	'What do you mean?'I ashed. 'Why?'
[04:09.66]	He did not look at me.
[04:12.30]	He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully.
[04:18.55]	'Lighthouses have sea all round them, don't they? '
[04:24.96]	he said. ' Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse,
[04:31.40]	so I would be happy there.
[04:35.40]	And blind people can see nothing,
[04:40.65]	so they couldn't see me, could they?'
[04:46.02]	'But Joseph, 'I said. 'This is your home.
[04:51.75]	You live here now.
[04:54.59]	You aren't going to leave the hospital. '
[04:58.48]	28'Not today, perhaps, 'he said. But soon.
[05:06.86]	You are a kind man, Dr Treves.
[05:11.98]	But I can't stay here very long. I have no money. '
[05:20.65]	I smiled. 'Joseph, I said.
[05:25.44]	'This is your home now. Don't you understand?
[05:31.04]	You can stay here all your life. '
[05:35.96]	Very carefully, I told him about the letter to The Times, and the money.
[05:44.09]	I don't think he understood at first,
[05:47.52]	so I told him again.
[05:50.76]	He was very quiet for a minute.
[05:53.94]	Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly.
[06:00.17]	A strange sound came from him, like laughing.

歌词翻译

[00:01.44]	第4章麦里克的第一个家
[00:07.31]	我们在医院的后面给了麦里克两间房间，
[00:11.89]	一间是浴室，
[00:14.10]	供他每天洗澡。
[00:17.79]	于是他的皮肤好多了，
[00:20.40]	再也没有难闻的气味。
[00:24.62]	另一间有床、桌子和椅子。
[00:30.86]	我每天都去看望他并和他聊天。
[00:35.85]	他喜欢读书，也喜欢谈论书里的内容。
[00:40.29]	起初，他并不知道很多书，
[00:44.62]	只知道《圣经》和一两份报纸而已。
[00:49.69]	后来我给了他几本爱情小说，
[00:52.91]	他非常喜欢这些，
[00:55.83]	读了一遍又一遍，
[00:58.37]	并经常谈论其中的故事。
[01:01.32]	对他来说，书中的男女都是活着的，
[01:05.86]	就像你我一样。他非常高兴。
[01:11.17]	对他来说，有时很难。
[01:15.60]	开始时，医院里有一两个人嘲笑他，
[01:19.81]	说他长得丑陋。
[01:22.89]	有时，他们把自己的朋友带来参观他。
[01:28.51]	有一天，一个护士新来到医院，
[01:32.76]	并没有人把麦里克的情况告诉他，
[01:36.72]	她给麦里克送饭，
[01:39.42]	当她打开门
[01:41.30]	见到他时，
[01:43.53]	她尖叫了一声，将饭扔在地上
[01:47.49]	跑了出去。
[01:50.28]	当我去看望麦里克时，
[01:52.76]	我很生这个护士的气。
[01:55.67]	他对此不开心但没有生气。
[02:00.69]	我想他感觉到自己对不起这个姑娘。
[02:05.10]	“人们不喜欢朝我看，
[02:09.63]	我知道这些，特里维斯博士，
[02:14.49]	他们经常对我嘲笑，尖叫”他说。
[02:19.57]	我气愤地说“约瑟夫，我不希望护士们嘲笑你，
[02:24.47]	我希望她们能帮助你”。
[02:29.20]	“谢谢你，大夫”他用奇怪的声音慢慢说着：
[02:38.22]	“但这并不重要，
[02:41.75]	每个人都在嘲笑我，
[02:45.34]	我理解这些”。
[02:49.34]	我忧伤地看着他。
[02:52.39]	他的那支好手~左手，
[02:56.45]	拿着一张他母亲的小照片。
[03:00.26]	他仔细地看了一会儿照片，
[03:03.26]	然后将照片放在桌子上的一束花旁，
[03:07.41]	一滴泪水顺着那张丑陋的大脸滚了下来。
[03:16.25]	他慢慢地对我说“特里维斯博士，
[03:22.04]	您和这些护士门都是非常善良的，
[03:28.32]	我在这里很幸福。
[03:32.13]	非常感谢您。
[03:35.68]	可是...自己不能长期呆在这儿，
[03:41.90]	还有...我想住在住在那座
[03:48.11]	医院后面的灯塔里。
[03:51.97]	一座灯塔或是一间盲人住的房子，
[03:57.75]	我觉得那对我来说是最好的地方”。
[04:03.93]	“你这是什么意思？为什么？”我问。
[04:09.66]	他没有看我，
[04:12.30]	他把那束花放在那张照片上，仔细地看着。
[04:18.55]	“灯塔四周是大海，对不对？”
[04:24.96]	他说“在那里没有人朝我看，
[04:31.40]	所以在那里我会幸福的。
[04:35.40]	盲人什么也看不见，
[04:40.65]	所以他们也看不见我，是不是？”
[04:46.02]	我说“但是约瑟夫，这就是你的家，
[04:51.75]	现在你就住在这儿，
[04:54.59]	你不要离开医院”。
[04:58.48]	他说“也许不是今天，但会很快。
[05:06.86]	您是一个好人，特里维斯博士。
[05:11.98]	我不能在这儿呆很长时间，我没有钱”。
[05:20.65]	我笑着对他说“约瑟夫，
[05:25.44]	这里就是你的家，你难道还不知道吗？
[05:31.04]	你可以在这儿呆一辈子”。
[05:35.96]	于是我把如何为了他与《泰晤士报》联系的那封信及有关钱的来历细细地告诉了他。
[05:44.09]	我担心他不能理解此事，
[05:47.52]	所以再说了一遍。
[05:50.76]	他沉默了片刻，
[05:53.94]	然后站了起来，在房间里很快地来回走动着，
[06:00.17]	并发出奇怪的声音，像是在大笑。
