他怎么靠马路这边开？ 搞什么？干吗？ Why is he on this side of the road? What is happening? What?
-他怎么这样开车？ -夫人 让我来开车吧？ - Why is he driving like that? - Madam, should I drive now?
-王公 你担心是吗？ -不是 我不担心 - Are you worried, Maharaja? - No, no, I'm not worried.

你真是个… You're such a?
祝你生日快乐 平姬 Happy birthday, dear Pinky
祝你生日… Happy birthday
请见谅 以这种方式 开始讲一个故事不太恰当 Pardon me, this is no way to start a story.
我毕竟是印度人 I'm Indian, after all,
印度民族有一个古老而受尊崇的传统 and it is an ancient and venerated custom of my people
那就是在故事的开头向神明祈祷 to start a story by praying to a higher power.
所以我也应该先亲吻某个神明的脚 可是选哪个神明呢？ So I, too, should start off by kissing some God's foot, but which God?
穆斯林有一个神 基督教有三个神 The Muslims have one.The Christians have three.
我们印度教有三千六百万个神明 And we Hindus have 36 million.
那么就一共有三千六百万 Making a grand total of 36 million
零四只神圣的脚 供我选择 and four divine feet for me to choose from.
有些人认为这些神明根本不存在 There are some who think that none of these gods exist,
但在我们国家 一会儿信神一会儿不信神有好处 but in my country, it pays to play it both ways.
印度企业家必须正直又狡诈 冷嘲热讽又心怀虔诚 The Indian entrepreneur has to be straight and crooked, mocking and believing,
刁滑又真诚 同时兼具这些特质 sly and sincere, all at the same time.
中国总理温家宝 Wen Jiabao, Prime Minister of China,
本月将抵达印度 会见印度主要的企业家 will arrive in India this month to meet with leading Indian entrepreneurs.
中国总理希望了解 印度蓬勃发展的经济 The Chinese Premier hopes to learn about the growing Indian economy.
这两个经济超级大国的会面 将受到全世界关注 The eyes of the world are watching as these two economic superpowers meet.

预计温家宝将… Jiabao is expected to
家宝先生 阁下 Mr. Jiabao, Your Excellency,
当我听说您将前来印度 会见一些印度企业家时 when I heard you were coming to meet some Indian entrepreneurs,
我就知道我必须与您联系 I just knew I had to email you.

但是印度不缺乏企业家 does have entrepreneurs.
温家宝总理希望了解 印度蓬勃发展的外包经济… Prime Minister Jiabao wants to learn about India's booming outsourcing economy
阁下 我关注贵国的崛起 已经有一段时间了 I've been following the rise of your country for some time, sir.
我知道贵国人民 热爱独立自主与个人自由 I know you Chinese are great lovers of freedom and individual liberty.
英国曾试图让贵国沦为他们的仆人 The British tried to make you their servants,
但你们从来没有让他们得逞 but you never let them.
总理先生 这让我非常钦佩 I admire that, Mr. Premier.
您可知道 我以前也曾是一个仆人 You see, I was a servant once.
现在我是班加罗尔的一位知名企业家 这里有“印度硅谷”之称 Today, I am a celebrated entrepreneur in Bangalore,the Silicon Valley of India.
据说这个称号是模仿美国的硅谷 They say it's named after a Silicon Valley in America,
但我认为我们有如下的共识 美国已经是明日黄花了 but I think we can agree that America is so yesterday.
印度和中国才代表着未来 India and China are so tomorrow.
我相信这个世界的未来 In the belief that the future of the world
掌握在黄色人种与棕色人种手中 lies with the yellow man and the brown man,
再加上那些昔日霸主们 那些白人 now that our erstwhile master, the white-skinned man,
现在都自暴自弃 搞爆菊、玩手机、吸食毒品 has wasted himself through buggery, cell phone usage, and drug abuse,
因此 我分文不取 向您讲述 I offer to tell you, free of charge,
我的人生故事 从而向您揭示关于印度的真相 the truth about India by telling you the story of my life.
这些是我家族里吃得最好 地位最崇高的成员 These are the best-fed and most important members of my family.
排在它们之后的 是我老奸巨猾的奶奶库素 After them, my sly, old Granny, Kusum.
她强迫我哥哥基善在茶店里工作 She had forced my brother, Kishan, to work in the tea shop.
我爸爸拉黄包车赚来的每一分钱 都被她收进了口袋 And she took every rupee from my father, a rickshaw puller.
我来自拉奇芒格阿尔 一个处于黑暗之地的村子 I come from the village of Laxmangarh,which is in the darkness.
印度其实有两面 India is two countries in one,
一个是光明的印度 an India of light
另一个是黑暗的印度 and an India of darkness.
我想像您这样的富人 应该知道我来自哪个印度 I think a rich man like you knows which one I come from.
跟您说说我的基本情况 几年前 警方因为我的创业精神 To give you the basic facts about me, there's no beating that poster,
给我做了一张海报 没什么能比那张海报 the one the police made of me some years ago
更能体现我这个人的特质了 due to an act of entrepreneurship.
巴拉姆哈拉外 寻人启事
没错 警方正在找我 为什么呢？ Yes, the police are looking for me. Why?
我稍后再解释 I'll get to that in time,
但您要向我保证 在听完我的 辉煌人生故事之前 不对我妄加评判 but only if you promise not to judge me until I've told you my glorious tale.
念吧 你 Read. You.
你不识字吗？ Can't you read it?
“A、G、Z…” A, G, Z...
你什么都没教他们吗？ 你这没用的狗屁 Have you taught them nothing, you useless fuck?
-抱歉… -道歉有用吗？ - Sorry. - What "sorry"?
“我们生活在一片荣耀之地” "We live in a glorious land."
“释迦牟尼佛在这片土地上 得到了开悟” "The Lord Buddha received enlightenment in this land."
“我们因出生在这片土地 对佛陀心怀感念” "We are grateful to God that we are born in this land."
过来 孩子 Come here, boy.
-这个女人是谁？ -先生 她是伟大的社会主义者 -Who is this woman? -The Great Socialist, sir.
伟大的社会主义者 向孩子们传递什么信息？ What is the Great Socialist's message for children?
在任何被人遗忘的村庄里的 任何一个贫穷的男孩 Any poor boy in any forgotten village
都能成长为印度的总理 can grow up to become prime minister of India.
在丛林里 有一种最罕见的动物 In the jungle, which is the rarest of animals
同辈中仅出一只 那是什么动物？ that comes along only once in a generation?
是白老虎 The white tiger.
这就是你 你就是白老虎 That is what you are. The white tiger.
我保证会让你得到一笔奖学金 让你能上离这里很远的学校 I will ensure that you get a scholarship to a school far away from here,
在我们伟大的首都 德里 to our glorious capital, Delhi.
爸爸 知道这个叫什么吗？ Papa, know what this is called?
什么？ What?
这叫“锁骨” It's called "clavicle."
-锁骨？ -锁骨 - Clavicle? - Clavicle.
锁骨？ Clavicle?
这些叫“肩膀” And these are called "shoulders."

在黑暗之地 我们家人全睡在一起… In the darkness, we all slept together?
腿全搭在一起 就像是同一只生物 一条蜈蚣 with legs falling one over the other like one creature, a millipede.
鳄鱼如何游泳？
伟大的社会主义者万岁
嘿 巴拉姆！ Hey, Balram!
阿鹳 他是地主 掌管我们的村子 The Stork. He was the landlord who ruled our village
他掠走我们三分之一的收入 and collected a third of everything we earned.
他贪婪搜刮我们的村子 不剩下任何东西给我们填肚子 He fed so much on the village that there was nothing left to feed on.
但我们更怕他的大儿子猫鼬 We feared his elder son, the Mongoose, even more.
我爸爸总是欠他们的债 And my father was always in debt to them.
不要再让我问你一遍！ Don't make me ask again!
小子！ Psst, psst! Munna!
带上你的书和粉笔 我们走吧 Get your book and chalk, let's go.
茶店？我应该去德里啊 The tea shop? I'm supposed to go to Delhi.
爸爸没有钱给主人 Father didn't pay the master.
奶奶说你现在必须工作了 Granny said you have to work now.
基善！ Kishan!
你在那里干什么？快去干活！ What're you doing over there? Get to work!
把剩下的每一块都砸碎 Now break every last one.
你不喜欢吗？ You don't like it?
那就想象你是在砸我的头骨 Imagine it's my skull you're breaking.
嘿 亲爱的… Hey, sweetie?
吃你的晚饭吧 Eat your dinner.
后来我再也没有进过学校 I never saw the inside of a school again.
吃吧 Eat it.
在那一年的年末 我爸爸染上了肺结核 By the end of that year,my father was sick with tuberculosis.
没有一个政客 在拉奇芒格阿尔建过一间医院 No politician had built a hospital in Laxmangarh,
所以我们不得不花两天时间 去到另一个村庄 so we had to travel two days to another village.
我去找个医生 I'll find a doctor.
根本没有医生来 No doctor ever came.
选举承诺让我明白到 Election promises had taught me
绝不能成为 一个自由的民主国家的穷人 how important it is not to be a poor man in a free democracy.
神明之名就是真理… God's name is the truth
我父亲即使在死后 都在抵抗自己的命运 Even in death, he was resisting his fate.
抗拒死亡 重生 再次死去 一切都是徒劳 Resisting to die, be reborn, and die again, all for nothing.
我在这一刻明白到 I understood in this moment,
要在印度赢取自由有多么艰难 how hard it is for a man to win his freedom in India.
直到后来 我才明白了其中的原因 Later, I came to realize why.
这个国家在上万年的历史中 The greatest thing to come out of this country
创造出来的最伟大的东西是鸡笼 in its 10,000-year history the rooster coop.
它们能看到同类流血 并闻到血腥味 They can see and smell the blood.
它们知道下一个被宰的就是自己 但它们却不反抗 They know they are next, yet they don't rebel.
它们不会试图从笼子里逃出去 They don't try and get out of the coop.
这里的仆人们 被教导了同样的行为方式 Servants here have been raised to behave the same.
他车上载着的家具 价值至少等于他两年的薪水 The furniture on his back is worth at least two years his salary,
但他还是会忠诚地 把这些钱送回他老板那里 and yet he will faithfully pedal the money back to his boss
而且绝不会碰那些钱 without ever touching a single rupee.
没有一个仆人敢碰 No servant does.
为什么？因为印度人是世界上 最诚实、最追求灵性的民族？ Why? Because Indians are the world's most honest and spiritual people?
不是 No.
那是因为我们中百分之99点9的人 都被困在了鸡笼里 It's because 99.9% of us are caught in the rooster coop.
仆人们是如此可靠 The trustworthiness of servants is so strong
即使你把解放之匙放在一个仆人手中 that you can put the key of emancipation in a man's hand
他也会咒骂着把钥匙扔回给你 and he will throw it back at you with a curse.
我学会了偷听顾客们的对话 I had learned to use my time to eavesdrop on customers,
等待一个机会 waiting for an opportunity.
你们想喝茶吗？上茶！ Would you like some tea? Put on some tea!
我哥哥早就不这么干了 Something my brother had given up on long ago.
快点 Make it quickly.
你聋了吗？去干活 Are you deaf? Get to work.
伟大的社会主义者
阁下 我知道 像您这样的共产主义者不信神 I know communists like you don't believe in God, sir,
但是您相信命运吗？ but do you believe in fate?
那是我第一次看见他 阿鹳的小儿子 阿肖克先生 That was when I first saw him, the Stork's youngest son, Mr. Ashok.
他当时刚从美国搬回印度 回到了丹巴德 He had just moved from America back to India, to Dhanbad,
他的家族在这个地方靠煤炭发家 where his family had made a fortune in coal.
我当时就知道 这一位就是我的主人 I knew then, this was the master for me.
我偷听到他们说要再找一个司机 负责接送阿肖克先生 I overheard them saying they need a second driver for Mr. Ashok.
他才刚回来… He's just come back...
可是你不会开车！ But you don't know how to drive!
我只需要三百卢比报名学开车… I just need 300 rupees for the driving lessons and...
想都别想！你总是像你爸那么无礼 No! You've always been insolent like your father.
你就待在这里 跟基善在一起 You'll stay right here with Kishan.
奶奶给他找了个老婆 Granny had married him off,
限他两个星期内跟他老婆圆房 given him two weeks to dip his beak into his wife,
现在他被困在这里了 我以后也会被困在这里 and now he was stuck here.I would be too.
好吧 算了 Okay, forget it.
我还想着如果我可以给他们当司机 你就可以买一群水牛… I thought if I became their driver, you'd buy a bunch of water buffaloes?
让全村人眼红 and be the envy of the village.
你是说你会给地主当司机？ So you'll become a driver for the landlords?
你就可以成为全村最有钱的女人 You could be the richest woman in the village.
以你信仰的所有神明之名发誓 Swear on all the gods you believe in
你每个月 都会把你的全部工资寄给你奶奶 that you'll send every rupee,every month, to your Granny.
-我发誓 -别嬉皮笑脸的！ - I swear. - Stop smiling!
五指并拢发誓！ Pinch your hand and swear!
我五指并拢了 奶奶 你就想想… I'm pinching! Granny, just think?
你会成为村子里最有钱的女人 You'll become the richest woman in the village.
以后你这么一挥这根拐杖 它就会变成金子做的… This cane will become gold, and when you swing it like this,
整个村子的人都会排队来看你 the entire village will line up to see you.
先别跑！奶奶做了你最爱吃的！ Wait! Granny made your favorite!
吃你那油腻腻的秋葵吧！ 我要去丹巴德吃饭！ You eat your oily okra! I'm gonna eat in Dhanbad!
丹巴德
现在 我只需要学会开车就好 And now, I just had to learn to drive.
小心一点 畜生！ Watch out, sister-fucker!
你的种姓是制糖的 You're from a caste of sweet makers.
只有来自武士阶层的男人 才能驯服野马 Only a boy from a warrior class can tame a wild stallion.
穆斯林、拉杰普特人、锡克教徒 流着攻击者的血液 Muslims, Rajputs, Sikhs have aggression in their blood.
你为什么不继续做糖？ Why don't you stick to making sweets?
只会开车还不够 你必须成为合格的司机 It's not enough to drive. You've got to become a driver.
任何人想超你的车 你就这样做… Anyone tries to overtake you, do this?
滚远一点 死畜生！ Out of the way, sister-fucker!
别挡我的道 畜生！ Outta my way, fucker!
马路如莽林 The road is a jungle.
好司机必须咆哮才能在路上前进！ A good driver must roar to get ahead on it!
找到他们家并不难 It wasn't so hard to find out where they lived.
但我必须穿过这道门才能成功 I just had to get through the door.
-什么事？ -先生 您好 - Yeah? - Namaste, sir.
你有什么事？ What do you want?
先生 你们需要司机吗？ Any need of a driver, sir?
我当司机四年了 我的主人最近刚去世… I've got four years' experience. My master recently died, so I...
滚吧 我们已经有司机了 Get lost. We have a driver already.
我看到你们有两辆车 但是你们有两个司机吗？ I see you have two cars, sir, but do you have two drivers?
你有什么毛病？快滚吧 王八蛋 What's wrong with you? Get lost, motherfucker.
先生？这是您的房子吗？ Sir? This is your house?
您好 先生！我跟您是同村的 来自拉奇芒格阿尔 Namaste, sir. I'm from your village, sir! From Laxmangarh.
-拉奇芒格阿尔？ -对 先生！ - Laxmangarh? - Yes, sir!
肯定是有神明保佑我们！ The gods must be watching over us!
先生 我以前就在 十字路口那个茶水摊工作！ I used to work at the tea stall, sir, at the main junction!
以前我曾把茶端到您的大使牌轿车旁 And I would bring tea to your Ambassador car.
让那年轻人进来 Let the boy in.
-可是 先生… -让他进来 - But, sir... - Let him in.
我真不敢相信是您 先生 I can't believe it's you, sir.
自从您离开后 庄稼都死了 How the crops died since you left.
我们祈祷… And we prayed that?
您子孙满堂 继续管理我们的村子 ou should have more sons to keep rule in the village, sir.
起来吧 Get up.
村民们还记得我？ Do people still remember me?
当然记得了 先生 Of course, sir.
我们都说 您的离开就像是我们的父亲离开了 We all say our father is gone, sir.
先生 您是地主中最好、最神圣的 就像圣雄甘地 The best and the most holy of the landlords, like Gandhi-ji, sir.
像甘地？ Like Gandhi?
-是的 先生 圣雄甘地 -好吧 -Ji, sir. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi-ji. -Okay. Okay.
你有什么事？ What do you want?
先生 请允许我 Sir, with your permission, sir,
当您的司机 或当令郎的司机 I want to be a driver for you? or for your son.
-你是穆斯林吗？ -不是 - Are you Muslim? - No, sir.
我经常洗澡 I bathe regularly,
先生 我注重个人卫生 而且我很勤快 keep myself clean, sir, and I'm not lazy.
-你好 我叫阿肖克 -嘿 别自作主张 - Hey, I'm Ashok. - Hey, don't do that.
你需要一个司机 我们让他开车转一圈 You need a driver, let's take him for a spin.
-看他车技如何 -好的 先生 - See how good he is. - Yes, sir.
我运气真好 是猫鼬 Just my luck, the Mongoose.
-他开车很稳 -对 - He drives well. - Yeah.
-你来自哪个种姓？ -哈拉外 先生 - What's your caste? - Halwai, sir.
这是高等还是低等种姓？ Is that a high caste or low?
在古代 印度是世界上最富裕的国家 In the old days,when India was the richest nation on Earth,
这里有上千个种姓 各有各的命运 there were 1,000 castes and destinies.
可现在 这里只有两个种姓 These days, there are just two castes.
有权有势者和无权无势者 Men with big bellies and men with small bellies.
也只有两种命运 吞食他人或被他人吞食 And there are only two destinies, eat or get eaten up.
是低种姓 先生 - Low caste, sir. - Ugh!
-我们所有仆人都来自高种姓 -他的种姓有什么所谓？ - All our servants are high caste. - Why does his caste matter?
-你喝酒吗？ -不喝 先生 - You drink? - No, sir.
-我们种姓的人从不喝酒 先生 -那你们干什么？ - In my caste we never drink. - So what do you do?
偷东西？ Steal?
哈拉外？ Halwai?
-你是制糖的吧？ -是的 先生 - You're a sweet maker? - Yes, sir.
所以你才会对我们说这些甜言蜜语？ That's why you're so sweet to us?
-你会做饭吗？ -当然了 我的厨艺很好 - Do you cook? - Certainly, sir. Very well.
-你会做什么？ -各种甜食 先生 - Like what? - Sir, all kinds of sweets, sir.
玫瑰奶球、奶豆腐汤圆 拉杜球、甜奶球、腰果糖 Gulab jamun, rasgulla ho gaya, ladoo, rasmalai, kaju barfi.
只要您喜欢的都会 先生 Whatever you like, sir.
司机包做饭 只有印度才有这种事 你可以明天开始上班吗？ The driver can cook too. Only in India. Can you start tomorrow?
先别急 我们得先查一下他的家底 Not so fast, bhai. We'll have to check on his family first.
-你要多少薪水？ -我不要工资 先生 - How much you want? - I don't want any money, sir.
你们就像是我的父母 我怎么能向自己父母要钱呢？ You are like parents to me. How can I ask my parents for money?
一个月一千五 Fifteen-hundred a month.
不 先生 这太多了 给我一半的薪水就够了 No, sir, that's too much.Give me half of that, sir. It's enough.
如果你过了两个月的试用期 工资会涨到两千 If we keep you beyond two months, it will go to 2,000.
-而且你只给我开车 -是 先生 -And you only drive me. -Yes, sir.
你能不能别老按喇叭？ Can you honk less?
伙计 你想爬进这车子里吗？ Bro, you wanna climb in here?
-快走吧！ -你小心开车！ - Get moving! - Watch how you drive!
你为什么跟他吵架？ Why'd you do that?
我们该拿棍子吗？ Should we take sticks?
-别那样做 -拿棍子吧 -Don't. - Get the rod? Get the rod.
我知道你是装的 还没决定请你呢 乡巴佬！ I know you're play-acting. You haven't been hired yet, hick!
猫鼬肯定 给他在拉奇芒格阿尔的人打过电话 The Mongoose must have called his man in Laxmangarh,
因为两天后 他们雇用我的时候 because two days later when they did hire me,
对我家的情况已经摸得一清二楚 they knew everything about my family.
印度家族 是我们这个国家的自豪与荣耀 The pride and glory of our nation, the Indian family.
每个主人都必须时刻知道 仆人的家人住在哪里 Every master has to know exactly where their servant's family live at all times
以防有仆人偷东西逃跑 just in case a servant decides to steal from his employer and run.
若真发生这种事… If so?
说句公道话 换作是我也会同样处理 Fair enough. I would do the same.
但主人对犯事仆人的家人也这样 But it's what the masters do to their servants' families.
这就是鸡笼法则 This is how the rooster coop works.
所以它才能困住数百万的印度男女 This is how it traps so many millions of men and women in India.
因此 阿鹳和他两个儿子 对我的忠诚可以尽管放心 So rest assured, the Stork and his sons could count on my loyalty.
就这间 This is the room.
我的房间？ This is my room?
你跟我同住 You'll share it with me.
我去杂物房给你找张床垫 I'll find a mattress from the store for you.
不 不必了 No, there's no need for that.
我睡地板就挺舒服的 不烦您费心了 I'll be quite comfortable on the floor. Nothing to worry about.
居然还有个漂亮的屋顶！ There's even a first class roof!
给 你要一直穿着这套制服 Here. You're to wear this at all times.
-这是我的？ -对 - It's mine? - Yes.
-嘿 猛男！ -什么事 先生？ - Hey, hero! - Yes, sir?
希望你喜欢地毯 I hope you like carpets.
你先清洁地毯 再把所有窗户洗了 When you're done cleaning those, wash all the windows.
听懂了吗？ Got it?
可我是司机啊 先生 But I'm the driver, sir.
不 你是二号司机 No. You're the "number two" driver.
中央冷却器涡轮2800 4X4
帕杰罗
世界上有任何一种仇恨 能比二号仆人对一号仆人的仇恨 Is there any hatred on Earth like the hatred of the number-two servant for
更强烈吗？ the number one?
我在搞卫生 他却像主人一样大摇大摆 While I cleaned, he strolled about like a master.
他把所有印度教神明都排成一排 整天在祈祷 He had every Hindu God lined up and was always praying,
似乎在指控我是拥护毛思想的 纳萨尔派 像您一样的共产主义者 as if to accuse me of being a Naxal, a communist, like you, sir.
我一定要在祷告方面打败他 I would not let him out pray me.
先生 兰帕萨德为什么不吃饭？ Sir, why is Ram Persad not eating?
-而且他最近的口气很重 -你给我闭嘴 - And his mouth stinks these days. - You keep your mouth shut.
这个家伙肯定有什么秘密 This man was hiding something,
而一个成功的企业家 总能挖出他的对手的秘密 and a successful entrepreneur always finds his competition's secrets.
很好 你听到了吗？ 是的 刚才那一下舒服吧？ Good job. Good. Did you hear that? Yeah, that was good, right?
嘿 司机！请你过来一下 Hey, driver! Hey, driver. Can you come here, please?
好的 做这个你得躺下来… All right, I need you to lie down for this?
嘿！进来 Hey! Come in.
我想问你几个问题 I wanted to ask you some questions.
嘿 你能不能转过去一下？ Hey, could you turn around for me for a second?
-好的 -不是！ - Yes. - No!
我不是这个意思 你就站这儿 That's not what I meant. Just stand here.
我感觉你的背… Um, I feel like your back's?
承认这一点让我挺羞愧的 I'm ashamed to admit it now,
但当时我以为 阿肖克先生的老婆平姬夫人 but in that moment I thought Mr. Ashok's wife, Pinky Madam,
是“那种女人” was one of "those women."
不好意思 我都没有自我介绍 Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't even introduce myself.
嗨 我是平姬 很高兴认识你 Hi, I'm Pinky. Nice to meet you.
老婆 没事 我要跟他谈 Honey, honey, all right. I need to talk to him.
-好吧 行 -我要跟他谈 - All right. Okay. - I need to talk.
那个 司机 我们俩… 不好意思 你叫什么名字？ So, uh, driver. We're both? I'm sorry. What's your name?
-先生 我叫巴拉姆 -是的 巴拉姆 - Sir, Balram, sir. - Yeah, Balram.
巴拉姆 你知道互联网是什么吗？ So, Balram, do you know what the Internet is?
不知道 先生 但我可以现在开车去市场买 No, sir, but I could drive to the market right now, sir,
-您要多少我都给您买回来 -不是 没关系 谢谢你 -and get as many as you want. -No, it's okay. Thank you.
你有脸书账号吗？ Do you have Facebook?
有啊 先生 书 我一直很喜欢书 Yes, sir. Books. I always loved books, sir.
我听说你识字 你见过电脑吗？ Yeah, I heard you can read. Have you ever seen a computer?
见过 其实我们村里有很多 跟山羊一起 Yes, sir. Actually, we had many of them in the village, with the goats.
-山羊？ -是 先生 - Goats? - Ji, sir.
能用电脑 那些山羊肯定进化得很好 The goats are pretty advanced to use computers.
我从他们的表情可以看出来 我犯了一个错误 I could tell from their faces I had made a mistake.
平姬 你看看 他上过两、三年学 Pinky, you see. He's got two, three years schooling in him.
他识字也会写字 He can read and write,
但他不明白自己读的是什么意思 他是半桶水 but he doesn't get what he's read.He's half-baked.
你太不尊重人了 他就站在我们面前 Okay, now you're being a jerk. He's standing right there.
-我不是不尊重人 -得了吧 阿肖克 - I'm not being a jerk. - Come on, Ashok.
你没抓住重点 You're missing the point, Pinky.
我们的司机代表印度最大的 尚未被开发的市场 Our driver represents the biggest untapped market in India,
等着上网浏览 买部手机 上升至中产阶级 waiting to surf the web, buy a cell phone, rise up into middle class.
这是我能帮助他的事 Something I can help him do.
你就是印度的未来 巴拉姆 You're the new India, Balram.
我就是印度的未来 先生 I am the new India, sir.
你可以下去了 You can go.
我不喜欢他对我的评价 I didn't like the way he had spoken about me.
“半桶水” 但他说得没错 "Half-baked." But he was right.
阁下 您来印度的话 When you come to India, sir,
会看到几亿像我这样的男人 you'll meet hundreds of millions of men like me.
打开我们棕色的头颅 用笔形电筒照一照里面 Open up our brown skulls and look inside with a penlight.
网吧
您会看到所有 不成熟的、半桶水的想法 You'll find all these ideas, half-formed, half-correct,
混在一起 一团乱麻 我们就是按这些想法生活和行动 all buggering one another, and that is what we live and act on.
很好 高一点 对 就是这里 Very good. A little higher. Yeah, there.
爸 我跟你说 印度的未来在于 做美国公司的外包生意 Papa, India's future is in outsourcing with American companies.
我们的未来是跟中国合作 他们在大建高速公路 他们需要煤炭 Our future is China. They're building superhighways, they need coal,
我们正好是卖煤炭的 and we sell coal.
我认为我们该多元发展 IT行业正在蓬勃发展 互联网… But I really think we should diversify. The IT sector is booming, the Internet...
