[00:01.16]	Chapter 6 Outside the Hospital
[00:07.98]	Merrick had a lo of friends now,
[00:11.32]	but he was more like a child than a man.
[00:15.56]	He could read about things, and talk to his visitors,
[00:20.22]	but he could not go out of the hospital by himself.
[00:24.24]	He thought and played like a child.
[00:29.25]	After Christmas, he wanted to go to the theatre.
[00:33.56]	This was very difficult,
[00:36.25]	because I did not want the people in the theatre to see him.
[00:41.44]	But a kind lady from the theatre-Mrs Kendal-helped us.
[00:47.97]	We bought tickets for a box at the side of the theatre
[00:53.34]	We went to the theatre in a cab with dark windows,
[00:57.53]	and we went into the theatre
[00:59.74]	by a door at the back-the Queen's door. Nobody saw us.
[01:07.11]	Three nurses sat at the front of the box,
[01:10.62]	and Merrick and I sat in the dark behind them.
[01:15.45]	Nobody in the theatre could see us,
[01:18.50]	but we could see the play.
[01:21.93]	It was a children's Christmas play.
[01:24.80]	Merrick loved it. It was a most wonderful, exciting story.
[01:31.19]	Often he laughed,
[01:33.55]	and sometimes he tried to sing like the children in the theatre.
[01:38.49]	He was like a child.
[01:40.53]	For him, everything in the story was true.
[01:46.50]	Once he was very afraid,
[01:49.08]	because the bad man in the play was angry and had a knife.
[01:53.96]	At first Merrick wanted to leave the theatre, but I stopped him.
[02:00.26]	Then he was very angry with this bad man in the play.
[02:05.56]	He hit his hand on his chair,
[02:08.33]	and stood up and talked to the man.
[02:11.43]	But nobody heard him.
[02:13.79]	When the bad man went to prison, Merrick laughed.
[02:19.75]	Merrick thought the beautiful young lady
[02:22.33]	in the play was wonderful.
[02:24.71]	He wanted to talk to her too.
[02:28.38]	At the end of the play he was very happy
[02:32.01]	because she married a good young man.
[02:36.44]	He remembered this play for a long time,
[02:39.74]	and he talked a lot about the people in it.
[02:44.58]	'What do you think they did after we left?'
[02:49.82]	he asked me. 'Where do the young lady and the young man live?
[02:57.53]	What are they doing now?'
[03:00.68]	'I don't know, I said. 'Perhaps they live in the country. '
[03:06.99]	Merrick thought about this for a long time.
[03:10.89]	Then he said：'Dr Treves, can I go to the country, please?
[03:20.47]	I saw the country once from a train, but I never went there.
[03:29.34]	I often read about it in books.
[03:33.45]	It's very beautiful, isn't it?
[03:37.81]	I would like to see it. '
[03:42.31]	The visit to the theatre was difficult
[03:45.42]	but a visit to the country was more difficult.
[03:50.12]	But again, one of his new friends helped us.
[03:55.00]	She had a small house in the country,
[03:58.15]	and Merrick could stay in it for the summer, she said.
[04:03.50]	I took Merrick to the country in a train with dark windows,
[04:08.08]	so nobody could see him.
[04:11.02]	Then we went in a cab to the country house.
[04:15.54]	There were a lot of trees near the house,
[04:18.95]	but no people lived near it.
[04:22.65]	A countryman brought food to the house everyday,
[04:26.45]	but no people came near it.
[04:30.17]	I stayed with him that night.
[04:33.18]	At night, it was very dark and quiet.
[04:38.39]	In the morning, hundreds of birds sang in the trees,
[04:43.11]	and everything outside the house was green.
[04:47.16]	Merrick walked under the big trees,
[04:50.59]	looking at things happily,
[04:52.93]	and singing his strange song.
[04:57.74]	I went back to London,
[05:00.08]	but Merrick stayed there for six weeks.
[05:03.60]	He was wonderfully happy.
[05:06.38]	Every week, he wrote me a letter.
[05:11.62]	Apple Tree House,
[05:14.25]	West Wickham,
[05:16.25]	Berkshire.
[05:18.36]	21st July 1889
[05:25.18]	Dear Dr Treves,
[05:28.71]	I had a wonderful day again today,
[05:33.12]	It was very warm,
[05:35.25]	so I walked under the trees and sat by a stream.
[05:41.93]	The water in the stream made a beautiful noise,
[05:46.86]	like singing. Did you know that?
[05:51.39]	I listened to it for two hours.
[05:56.17]	Lots of little birds came near me .
[06:00.47]	One had a red body in front, and a brown back.
[06:06.26]	I gave it some bread, and it sat on my hand.
[06:12.50]	A lot of birds are my friends, now.
[06:17.58]	I watched the fish in the stream, too.
[06:22.10]	They were very exciting,
[06:24.91]	because they move very fast.
[06:28.72]	One minute they were there,
[06:31.51]	and the next minute I couldn't see them.
[06:35.82]	But I waited quietly, and they always came back.
[06:42.09]	I put my hand in the water,
[06:45.34]	but I couldn't touch them.
[06:49.16]	I met a big dog yesterday.
[06:52.69]	It made a very loud noise,
[06:56.09]	but I was not afraid.
[06:59.43]	I sat down quietly and looked it,
[07:04.26]	and it came and smelt my hand.
[07:08.46]	I saw it again today, and gave it some bread.
[07:14.17]	It likes me now.
[07:17.84]	I am going to put some flowers from the country in this letter.
[07:24.17]	There are hundreds of flowers here. Did you know that?
[07:30.38]	I like the little blue ones best,
[07:34.29]	but they are all beautiful.
[07:37.74]	I have lots of them in my room.
[07:41.29]	I give them water every morning.
[07:45.50]	Little flowers are very thirsty, you know!
[07:49.88]	I am very happy here, doctor,
[07:53.69]	but I want to see you again soon, too.
[07:58.04]	With love from your friend,
[08:01.55]	Joseph Merrick
[08:05.80]	At the end of the summer he came back to London.
[08:10.77]	He was very well, and his skin looked much better.
[08:16.21]	He talked about the country a lot,
[08:19.44]	but he was happy to see his friends and his books again, too.

歌词翻译

[00:01.16]	6在医院的外面
[00:07.98]	现在麦里克有了许多朋友，
[00:11.32]	但他更像一个孩子而不是一个男人。
[00:15.56]	他能通过阅读了解到许多事情，并将这些事告诉他的来访者们。
[00:20.22]	但他不能一个人去到医院以外的地方。
[00:24.24]	他像一个孩子一样思考和玩耍。
[00:29.25]	圣诞节后，他想去看戏。
[00:33.56]	这是件很难办的事，
[00:36.25]	因为我不愿剧院里的人们看到他。
[00:41.44]	剧院有一位好心肠的凯恩德尔夫人帮助了我们，
[00:47.97]	给订了一个剧院里靠边上的包厢。
[00:53.34]	我们乘坐窗户闭光的出租马车，
[00:57.53]	并从剧院
[00:59.74]	后门进去。没有人看到我们。
[01:07.11]	三个护士坐在包厢的前方，
[01:10.62]	我和麦里克坐在她们后面的暗处。
[01:15.45]	剧院里无人能看到我们，
[01:18.50]	这样我们可以专心看演出了。
[01:21.93]	这是一部儿童圣诞剧，
[01:24.80]	麦里克喜欢看。这是一个极精彩并令人激动的故事。
[01:31.19]	他常常笑出声来，
[01:33.55]	有时他也想像剧中的孩子们一样歌唱，
[01:38.49]	他像个孩子似的，
[01:40.53]	在他看来，故事里的每件事都是真实的。
[01:46.50]	他一度害怕起来，
[01:49.08]	因为剧中有个坏男人生气地拿着刀，
[01:53.96]	起初麦里克想要离开剧院，我拉住了他。
[02:00.26]	他非常生那个坏男人的气，
[02:05.56]	击打着椅子，
[02:08.33]	站起来骂那个坏男人，
[02:11.43]	但无人听见。
[02:13.79]	当那个坏男人被投进监狱时，麦里克高兴地大笑起来。
[02:19.75]	他觉得剧中那个漂亮的年轻姑娘
[02:22.33]	非常可爱，
[02:24.71]	他想和她讲话。
[02:28.38]	剧终时他很高兴，
[02:32.01]	因为她与一个很好的年轻人结了婚。
[02:36.44]	他好长时间都没有忘记这出戏，
[02:39.74]	他叙述了许多有关剧中人的事。
[02:44.58]	“我们离开以后他们怎么办？
[02:49.82]	他问我，“那个年轻人和那个姑娘在哪儿生活？
[02:57.53]	现在他们在干什么？”
[03:00.68]	我说：“不知道，或许他们住在乡下。”
[03:06.99]	这件事麦里克想了很久。
[03:10.89]	后来他问我：“特里维斯博士，我可以到乡下去吗？
[03:20.47]	我坐火车时曾看到过乡间，但我从来没去过那里。
[03:29.34]	我在书上读到过有关乡间的事，
[03:33.45]	很美，是不是？
[03:37.81]	我想去看看。”
[03:42.31]	到剧场都难，
[03:45.42]	去乡间谈何容易。
[03:50.12]	他的一位新朋友又一次给予了帮助。
[03:55.00]	她在乡间有一间小屋子，
[03:58.15]	她说麦里克可以在那儿避暑。
[04:03.50]	我带着麦里克乘一列窗户不透光的火车来到乡下，
[04:08.08]	没有人看见我们。
[04:11.02]	然后我们又换乘一辆出租马车来到这幢乡间小屋。
[04:15.54]	房子附近有许多树，
[04:18.95]	但无人住在附近。
[04:22.65]	除了一个村夫每天送食物到这儿，
[04:26.45]	没有其他人来。
[04:30.17]	那天晚上我与他待在一起。
[04:33.18]	晚上天很黑，但很安静，
[04:38.39]	清晨许多小鸟在树上歌唱。
[04:43.11]	屋子外面一片翠绿。
[04:47.16]	麦里克在树下散步，
[04:50.59]	开心地欣赏着这里的一切，
[04:52.93]	唱着他那奇怪的歌。
[04:57.74]	我回到了伦敦，
[05:00.08]	麦里克在那儿又待了六个星期，
[05:03.60]	他快活极了。
[05:06.38]	每星期他都给我写一封信：
[05:11.62]	哈蒙苹果树庄园
[05:14.25]	西维克
[05:16.25]	于波克郡
[05:18.36]	1889年7月21日
[05:25.18]	亲爱的特里维斯博士：
[05:28.71]	今天我又过得愉快极了，
[05:33.12]	天气非常暖和，
[05:35.25]	我在树下散步，坐在溪旁，
[05:41.93]	溪水流动，形成美妙的声音，
[05:46.86]	就像在唱歌。你知道吗？
[05:51.39]	我在这里已听了两个多小时。
[05:56.17]	许多小鸟儿飞到我的身旁，
[06:00.47]	有一只鸟长着红身褐背。
[06:06.26]	我给它吃面包，它站在我的手上。
[06:12.50]	这些鸟已成了我的朋友。
[06:17.58]	我还看到溪水中的鱼。
[06:22.10]	真令人惊奇，
[06:24.91]	它们游得快极了，
[06:28.72]	一会在那儿，
[06:31.51]	一会又不见了。
[06:35.82]	我静静地等着，它们总是不停地来回游着。
[06:42.09]	我把手伸进水里，
[06:45.34]	可我摸不着它们。
[06:49.16]	昨天我碰见一只大狗，
[06:52.69]	它大声地叫着，
[06:56.09]	可我并不害怕。
[06:59.43]	我坐下来静静地朝它看着，
[07:04.26]	它走过来闻闻我的手。
[07:08.46]	今天我又见到了它，还给它吃些面包，
[07:14.17]	现在它很喜欢我。
[07:17.84]	我准备把乡下的花采摘一些放在信里寄给你，
[07:24.17]	这里有好几百种花。
[07:30.38]	我最喜欢这种小蓝花。
[07:34.29]	当然，这儿所有的花都很好看，
[07:37.74]	我摘了许多放在屋子里，
[07:41.29]	我每天早上给这些花浇水，
[07:45.50]	这些花很渴！
[07:49.88]	大夫，我在这儿很愉快，
[07:53.69]	但我也想尽快见到你。
[07:58.04]	非常热爱你的朋友
[08:01.55]	约瑟夫·麦里克
[08:05.80]	夏季结束时他回到了伦敦。
[08:10.77]	他非常健康，皮肤看上去也好多了。
[08:16.21]	他讲了许多有关乡间的事情，
[08:19.44]	但他也很高兴又见到了许多朋友和书。
