Cate Blanchett reads Mahler's letter to Alma

【中英文演講稿】

??????

Alma.I beg you.Read this letter carefully.Our relationship must not degenerate into a mere flirt. Before we speak again, we must have clarified everything.You must know what I demand?and expect of you and what I can give in return. What you must be for me. You must renounce, your word. Everything superficial and conventional. All vanity and outward show concerning your individuality and your work.?

阿爾瑪，我請求你，仔細閱讀這封信。我們的關系絕不能淪落為單純的調情。我們再次談話之前，我們必須澄清一切。你必須知道我對你的要求和期望，以及我能給你什么回報。你必須為我做什么。你必須放棄你的諾言，一切膚淺而俗套的東西，你的個性和你的工作，所有的虛榮和外在的表現。

How do you imagine both wife and husband as composers? Do you have any idea how ridiculous?and subsequently how much such an idiosyncratic rivalry must end up dragging us both down?

請你試想妻子和丈夫都是作曲家，你是否明白這種特殊的競爭有多荒謬，最終一定會把我們倆都拖垮。

How will it be if you happen to be just in the mood but have to look after the house for me or get me something I happen to need? If you are to look after the trivialities of life for me, you must become the person I need. If we are to be happy together, my wife and not my colleague. That's for certain.

如果你碰巧只是心情好，卻要幫我看房子，或者給我買一些碰巧我需要的東西，那該怎么辦?如果你要照顧我生活的瑣碎，你一定要成為我需要的人。如果我們在一起想幸福，你是我的妻子而不是我的同事，這是肯定的。

Does this mean for you breaking off your own life? And do you think you will have to do without a high point of being, which you cannot live without? If you entirely give up your music in order to possess and also be my own.?

這是否意味著你要放棄自己的生活？如果你為了擁有我，也為了屬于我，完全放棄你的音樂，你是否能在沒有最佳狀態(tài)的情況下生活下去？

From now on, you have only one profession to make me happy. Now I do realize that if you are to make me happy, you must yourself be happy, through me. But, in this drama, which could develop equally well into a comedy or a tragedy, the roles must be correctly cast.?

從現在開始，你只有一個工作，就是讓我快樂。我真正意識到，如果你想讓我快樂，你必須通過我才能快樂。但是，在這部既能發(fā)展成喜劇也能發(fā)展成悲劇的戲劇中，角色必須選對。

The role of composer, the breadwinner is mine.Yours is that of the loving partner, the sympathetic comrade.I am asking very much of you, very much.But I can and must do so because I also know what I have to offer and shall offer in return.

我的角色是作曲家，是養(yǎng)家糊口的人。你的角色是愛的伙伴，是有同情心的同志。我對你的要求非常多，非常高。但我可以也必須這樣做，因為我也知道我可以提供什么，也將提供什么作為回報。

You must surrender yourself to me, unconditionally. Make every detail of your future life completely dependent on my needs.? And in return, you must wish for nothing. Except my love.

你必須無條件地把自己交給我。使你未來生活的每一個細節(jié)完全取決于我的需要。作為回報，除了我的愛，你必須一無所求.

And what that is Alma,? I cannot tell you. I have already spoken too much about it. But let me tell you just this. For someone I love the way I would love you if you were to become my wife, I can forfeit all my life and all my happiness.

我不能告訴你那是什么，阿爾瑪。我已經說了太多了。但讓我告訴你。為了我所愛的人，如果你成為我的妻子，我可以放棄我的全部生命和所有的幸福。

Write with utter candour, tell me all you have to say, and all you know. Rather than living in self-deception, I would prefer for us to part at once, otherwise being the way I am, I know it would end in a catastrophe for both of us.

請完全坦誠地告訴我，你要說的和你知道的一切。我寧愿我們立刻分手，也不愿生活在自我欺騙之中，否則以我的性格，我知道我們倆將以一場災難告終。

This letter will come as a dreadful shock to you. I know it, Alma. And even if this is only cold comfort, you can well imagine that I am suffering just as much. I call to God, though aware that you have not yet made his acquaintance to guide your hand my love, in writing the truth and not letting yourself be led astray by ostentation.

阿爾瑪，我知道這封信會讓你大為震驚。即使這只是冷冰冰的安慰，你完全可以想象我也同樣痛苦。我呼求上帝，雖然我知道你還沒有認識他，親愛的，我懇求他指引你的手，以真理書寫，不要被虛夸引入歧途。

For this is a moment of great importance. These are decisions that will weld two people together for eternity. I bless you, my dearest, my love, no matter how you react. Many tend to kiss my Alma. And I beg you, be truthful.

因為這是一個非常重要的時刻。這些決定會讓兩個人永遠在一起。無論你反應如何，我祝福你，我最親愛的，我的愛人。許多人傾向于親吻我的阿爾瑪。而我懇求你，跟我說實話。

Your Gustav！

你的古斯塔夫！
