根据弗兰兹·卡夫卡的短篇小说改编 Based on a short story by Franz Kafka.
当母亲走进我的房间 When mum walked into my room,
她撞见一块棕色的污渍黏在墙壁的画上 she ran into brown splodge clinging to the picture on the wall.
刚一看见那东西 她就直接晕厥瘫倒在了我的沙发上 As soon as she saw it, she fainted and fell on my sofa,
因为她无法忍受如此令人作呕的场景 since she couldn't stand such a repugnant appearance.
我的妹妹葛蕾特冲进房间时 母亲已如断线木偶般瘫坐在沙发上 My sister Grete ran to my room and found mum slumped into the sofa
她的四肢无力地垂在沙发边缘 and her limbs hanging out.
而与此同时 那个怪物仍死死黏在墙上 头颅诡异地扭动着 发出阵阵凄厉的尖叫 In the meantime, that thing was still stuck and moving its head while screaming.
它不停地尖叫 发出震耳欲聋的嘶鸣 It was screaming incessantly, making a deafening hissing sound
这声音愈发令人难以忍受 which was getting more and more unbearable.
那怪物仿佛作势要向葛蕾特扑去 It seemed that the beast was about to set upon into my sister.
在极度的恐惧中 葛蕾特喊出了脑海中闪现出的第一个字眼 Terrified, Grete cried out the first thing that came to her mind.
她终于对着墙上那只恶心的虫子 喊出了那个名字 And thus, she finally pronounced the name of that repulsive bug on the wall.
“格里高尔！” " Gregor!"
变形记 METAMORPHOSIS
我叫格里高尔·萨姆沙 My name's Gregor Samsa.
一天早晨我从睡梦中醒来 发现自己变成了一只巨大的甲虫 One morning I woke up transformed into a monstrous bug.
我正躺在床上 I was lying on my bed,
贴着弯曲的甲壳 不再像以前那样贴着脊梁 lying on my curved shell instead of my old spine.
我意识到它不再是我那灵活的后背了 I realized it wasn't a flexible back,
因为当我试图去看自己的腹部时 能感觉到后背正痛苦地绷紧 because I could feel it was painfully tense when I tried to see my abdomen.
我腹部的颜色暗沉 被分割成数个弓形的节段 My abdomen was dark and divided up into several bow-like sections.
它似乎很坚硬 It seemed hard,
并且分泌出一种汗液 使我的腹部泛着光泽 and it secreted a kind of sweat which gave my abdomen a shiny appearance.
我那多出许多的 瘦弱的腿朝天花板伸着 My many scrawny legs were pointing towards the ceiling
而他们同时不由自主地抖动着 while all of them were shaking uncontrollably at the same time.
有时这种颤动感甚至传至头部 Sometimes that vibration even reached my head,
在我的耳中激起恼人的嗡鸣 making an unpleasant buzzing in my ears.
我此时及其纤细的腿与庞大的身躯相比显得可怜 My extremely thin legs were pathetic compared to the rest of the body,
这个身体对我这张床而言也太大了 which was also too large for my bed and was even sticking out of the sides.
我想再睡一会儿 I wanted to sleep for a while,
却没法像以前那样合上双眼了 but I wasn't able to close my eyes like before.
我的眼皮像是被生生撕去 My eyelids seemed to have been ripped off.
虽然我现在不需要眨眼 Although I didn't need to blink,
但一直睁着眼睛还是很诡异 it was something strange and truly uncomfortable
而且真的很不舒服 to remain with my eyes wide open.
此外 我习惯了侧着身子睡觉 Furthermore, I was used to sleeping on my side,
可新的身体却无法让我摆出这个姿势 and I couldn't get myself into this position with my new body.
我反复试了几次 I tried to do it a few times,
总是又滚回到我那圆鼓鼓的背上 but I always rolled again onto my round back.
最后 我从床上掉了下来 身体撞到了地板上 Eventually, I fell off my bed and my body hit the floor.
到了晚上 我的家人已经发现了我的异状 At night, my family already knew what had happened to me.
但他们对这怪异的情况秘而不宣 But they kept the strange situation a secret,
仿佛我只是患了麻风病之类的恶疾 as if I were just a leprosy patient or something like this.
此外 格蕾特甚至主动承担起了照顾我的责任 In addition, Grete had even taken the responsibility
从她发现我的那一刻起 to look after me from that moment on.
我的妹妹花了整整一天 才终于决定踏进我的房间 It took my sister all day to finally come into my room.
她踮着脚尖进来 She walked in on her tiptoes
端着一碗泡在牛奶里的面包屑 and brought a bowl with pieces of bread swimming in milk.
因为她知道牛奶一直是我最爱的晚餐 Because she knew milk had always been my favourite dinner.
可格蕾特不清楚 哺乳动物的食物并不适合我这样的一只甲虫 Grete didn't know food for mammals wasn't suitable for a coleopter like me,
事实 我刚尝一口就恶心得想吐 and in fact I wanted to throw up as soon as I tasted it.
于是次日清晨 So the next morning,
她端走了那仍然盛满牛奶的碗 she took the bowl away, which was still filled with milk,
但片刻之后 but a few moments later,
她拿着不同种类的食物走进我的房间 she came into my room again with different types of food,
好让我挑选最合胃口的食物 so that I could choose what I liked most.
有这样一个细心的妹妹 我感到很骄傲 I felt very proud of having such an observant sister,
她竟能立刻察觉到我饮食习惯的变化 because she immediately realized that I had new eating habits.
不然的话 我恐怕就会直接饿死了 Otherwise, I'd starve to death.
我妹妹可很少做出深思熟虑后的决定 My sister didn't use to make well-thought-out decisions,
特别是在她这个年纪 something usual at her age.
而她的确是从一开始就决定照顾我 And it's true that she decided to take care of me from the start,
履行着她主动承担的职责 performing my duties with great care.
但事实是 无论如何她也会担此重任 But the truth is that she'd have done it anyway,
因为我的父母无法面对这个局面 since mum and dad couldn't face the situation
也根本不愿给予帮助 and weren't really willing to help.
实际上 格蕾特每天只会进我房间两次 In fact, Grete walked into my room twice a day,
分别是清晨和中午 in the morning and at noon,
只是因为那时父母尚在睡梦之中 because at that time dad and mum were sleeping.
这样一来 他们就永远不用看到 我那可怕的 变形的身体了 This way they'd never have to see my horrifying deformed body.
现在 每当格蕾特走进我的卧室 Now, whenever Grete entered my bedroom,
她总是会在锁眼里转动几下钥匙 she always turned the key a few times in the lock,
再缓缓开启房门 and then she opened the door slowly,
像是她特意给我留出时间 让我窜到沙发底下躲起来似的 as if she were giving me time to run and hide under my sofa.
一旦我躲到了沙发底下 我就会露出我鼓胀的双眼 Once I was under the sofa, I showed my bulging eyes,
这样 当妹妹待在我房间里的时候 我就能看到她了 so I could see my sister while she was in my bedroom.
格蕾特总是斜着眼睛看我 眼中带着几分厌恶 Grete always looked sideways at me with some disgust.
可那眼神 却让我回想起了从前的时光 However, that glance made me think about previous times.
我记得格蕾特曾经和我天真地聊起过 I remembered when Grete and I used to talk, quite naively,
她若能考进音乐学院学小提琴 about how wonderful it'd be for her to enroll on the conservatory
那该有多好 to learn how to play the violin.
拉小提琴一直是她最大的心愿 Playing the violin had always been her biggest wish,
尽管她很少演奏 and even though she hardly ever played it,
但不得不说 她拉得非常熟练 it's true that she was very fluent in doing so.
格蕾特的音乐梦 Grete's dream of learning music
从来只是个天真的幻想 had never been anything but an innocent fantasy.
父母也不愿总听我们谈论这种痴想 And my parents didn't like the idea of us constantly talking
这对我们这样贫寒的家庭来说 实在遥不可及 about such an impossible dream for such a humble family as ours.
但其实很长一段时间以来 我攒下了不少钱 But I actually had been saving a lot of money for a long time,
本打算就在圣诞节 实现妹妹期盼多年的心愿 and that Christmas I wanted to fulfill my sister's long-awaited dream.
不幸的是 如今圣诞降至 Unfortunately, it was almost Christmas
我已经不可能把这个秘密告诉她了 and I knew it was impossible to tell her my secret.
她也永远不会知道 我曾试图给她怎样的惊喜 So, she'll never know what I tried to give her.
“变形”后的日子一天天过去 Some days passed after the transformation,
可格蕾特见到我时 仍显得局促不安 but Grete still looked uncomfortable with my presence.
即便我躲在沙发底下 Even under the sofa,
我外骨骼的一些肢体 还是会从沙发边缘露出来 some limbs of my exoskeleton could be seen sticking out of the edges.
于是我决定用一条毯子把沙发盖起来 So I decided to cover my sofa with a blanket
这样她就看不到我了 to prevent her from seeing me.
这花了我四个钟头 It took me four hours to do this,
然而我的一些肢体还是露在外面 however some of my limbs were still visible,
比如我头上的触角 such as the feelers on my head.
那对触须长得过分 还不停地剧烈晃动着 They were quite long and they kept on shaking vigorously,
仿佛在示意格蕾特看向我 as if they were telling Grete to look at me.
此外 我有力的下颚不断咀嚼 Moreover, the constant movement of my powerful jaws
产生了带着泡沫的唾液 正滴落在木地板上 produced foamy saliva which was dripping on the wooden floor,
发出一种不是很响的声音 却十分烦人 making a very annoying sound which wasn't very loud.
最终 妹妹那强烈的好奇心 And eventually, my sister's great curiosity
驱使她一次次弯腰向沙发底下窥探 forced her to look under the sofa over and over again.
我的房间一天比一天脏 Every day, my room was getting more and more infested
腐臭的气味也愈发让人难以忍受 and the stench was getting more and more unbearable.
格蕾特总是猛地冲进我的房间 So Grete used to burst into my room
径直跑到窗边大口喘息 and ran directly to the window so that she could breathe at ease.
我记得她进来时 经常把房间弄得很乱 I remember the mess she often made walking in,
很多次我都被惊醒 and I awoke with a start many times,
脑袋撞到沙发的边缘 hitting my head on the edge of the sofa.
她确实也没有怎么费力去掩饰 自己对这令人作呕的环境的厌恶 She really didn’t make a big effort to hide her disgust with that sickening atmosphere
她会在窗边伫立许久 And she used to stand by the window for quite a while,
哪怕那是个寒冷的冬天 even though it was a very cold winter.
我只能缩在沙发底下瑟瑟发抖 I was just shivering under the sofa.
格蕾特却似乎感受不到寒意 However, Grete didn't seem to be so cold,
或许是因为她在房中不停地打扫 身体从而产生了暖意 probably due to her unceasing cleaning while she was in my bedroom.
我真的巴不得她赶紧关上窗户 I really wanted her to close the window as soon as possible,
但我永远都不会开口告诉她 although I'd have never told her,
因为我宁可被冻死 也不愿为任何事去责备我的妹妹 because I'd rather be freezing to death than reproach my sister for anything.
有一天 大概是被窗外透进来的明亮光线所吸引 One day, probably lured by the bright light coming from outside,
我决定把椅子拖到窗边 I decided to drag my chair to the window
好站在上面从窗户向外张望 in order to stand on it and look out through my window.
我喜欢聆听黎明时分 I loved listening to the drops of melting frost
融霜滴落窗台的声音 hitting the windowsill at dawn,
同时看着街上行人匆匆而过 while seeing people rushing on the street.
其实 我只挪动了椅子两三回 The thing is that I only had to move the chair a couple of times
格蕾特就立刻注意到了 so that Grete would immediately notice,
自那以后 她总是将椅子摆在窗边 and since then, she always placed it by the window.
年仅十七岁的妹妹 已经是个非常有责任心的女孩了 Being only seventeen, my sister was already a very responsible girl.
夜里 我常常会靠近房门去偷听 At night, I used to approach the door to listen to the conversations Grete had
格蕾特与父母晚餐时的谈话 with mum and dad while they were having dinner.
他们常常向她询问 They often asked my sister
我是否有所好转 whether she had seen any improvement with me.
母亲偶尔会流露出 想进来看我一眼的念头 Sometimes mum even expressed her desire to come into my bedroom to see me,
哪怕只看一次也好 just once.
我多渴望见到母亲啊 I really wanted to see mum,
每当听见她说要进我房间 and whenever I heard her say that she was going to come into my room,
我就会慌忙把自己藏起来 眼睛却死死盯着房门 I quickly hid myself and I kept staring at the door.
但她实在是太害怕我了 But she was so terrified of me
总在最后一刻改变主意 that she used to change her mind at the last moment.
这时我就会感到无比难过 以至于热血上涌 Then I felt so terribly sad that there was blood rushing to my head,
有时候感觉我的脑袋都快炸开了 and sometimes it seemed that it was about to explode.
于是我总把脸贴在床边冰冷的的铁栏杆上 So I always rubbed my face against the cold iron bars
这样我才不会感觉自己要被火焰灼烧 in my bed so I wouldn't burn up.
我的家人已经清楚 我不过是个微不足道的寄生虫 My family had made clear that I was considered an insignificant parasite.
他们肯定认为 人是无法和这样的 “动物” 生活在一起的 And they certainly believed that people can't live with such an animal.
每当我想到这些 Every time that I thought about it,
我只能像往常一样 躲在沙发底下 I could only hide myself under the sofa, as usual.
我希望我的沙发 能变成一块谁也搬不动的石头 And I wished my sofa were a huge rock nobody could lift,
我的房间化作密不透风的茧 and my bedroom were a huge chrysalis nobody could come in.
这样一来 大家最终就会忘掉我这可怕的存在了 Thus, everyone would finally forget my horrible existence.
格蕾特与我相处的那些短暂时光 The fleeting moments Grete spent with me
对我而言是唯一重要的事 were the only things that were important to me.
我终日守候着她推门而入的声响 I spent the whole day waiting for her to walk into my bedroom
而当她真的现身时 我几乎要哭了 and, when she eventually came in, I wanted to cry.
我的胃缩紧了 心中翻涌起一种因幸福而生的恶心感 My stomach shrank and I had a strange nausea of happiness inside me.
望着她穿过门廊的身影 When I saw her walking through the door,
我的心跳开始加速 神思恍惚 my heart started racing and my mind was dreaming.
有时我会幻想自己能爬到她的脚边 Sometimes I dreamt about being able to get to her feet
拽住她的裙摆 好让她向我俯下身来 and pull her skirt so that she'd lean towards me.
想象着用我敏感的触须 I imagined myself reaching her neck
攀上她的脖颈 轻抚她的面颊 to caress her face with my sensitive feelers,
再用我的节肢紧紧抱住她 and holding her tight with my legs
在她的耳边轻声细语 to whisper in her ear
感谢她为我所做的一切 to thank her for everything she was doing for me.
有时格蕾特出去时 会让窗户开着 Sometimes Grete left the window open when she went out,
这时我便从沙发一跃而下 在卧室里四处爬行 and then I jumped off the sofa and started running around the bedroom.
我甚至借助腿端分泌的黏液 I even crawled back and forth across the walls
在墙壁上爬来爬去 with the help of a sticky substance on the ends of my legs.
我几乎是出于本能地 玩起了这种恶作剧 I got up to this mischief almost by instinct,
不断地 留下了那些黏腻的痕迹 and in doing so, I left traces of the sticky substance
很快格蕾特就发现了 and it didn't take long for Grete to find them out.
她立即察觉我有了新把戏 She immediately noticed I had developed a new game.
她甚至考虑搬空卧室里所有的家具 She thought about removing every piece of furniture in my bedroom,
只留下那张沙发 except for the sofa,
好给我腾出最大活动空间 so I could have as much room as possible.
可单凭她一人 挪不动那些大件家具 But she couldn't move such big pieces herself,
于是她需要母亲的帮助 so she needed mum's help.
她执意要母亲进入我的房间 She insisted mum to finally go into my room.
两人合力 将家具一件件往外搬 And together, they were removing pieces of furniture one after another.
待我察觉时 By the time I noticed,
卧室几乎已经被清空 they had already taken almost every piece of furniture in my bedroom away.
只剩下墙上画框里那幅 The only thing left was the frame in the middle of the wall
我最喜欢的素描画 with my favourite sketch.
我本应该为获得宽敞的活动空间而欣喜 Then I should have been pleased when I saw so much room to move around,
可不知为何 我竟压下了野性的本能 but for some reason I left my wild instinct aside
沿着墙壁爬上画框 用身体护住这幅画不让她们搬走 and climbed the wall up to the picture to prevent them from removing it.
就在那时 母亲走进了我的房间 It was then when mum walked into my bedroom
她突然间看见的 是一块黏在墙壁的画上棕色污渍 and she ran into a horrible brown splodge clinging to the picture on the wall.
刚一看见它 她就直接晕厥瘫倒在了我的沙发上 As soon as she saw it, she fainted and fell on my sofa.
她简直不敢相信 那团怪物竟会是她的儿子 Because she couldn't believe that that thing could be her son.
格蕾特好不容易 才把母亲搀出房间 Grete was finally able to take mum out of my room.
而我缓缓朝那扇未关上的门爬去 And I approached the door, which had been left open.
暮色渐沉 It was getting dark,
门外只有一片黑暗 and beyond the door there was only darkness.
突然间 父亲的身影浮现 But suddenly dad showed up beyond the darkness.
他手里拎着满满一篮子苹果 接着就开始把它们朝我砸过来 He was holding a basket full of apples and began to throw them at me.
那些苹果带着惊人的狠劲与怒意朝我袭来 My father threw those apples at me with such cruelty and rage.
终于有一颗击中我的后背 He eventually hit my back,
这痛得我蜷曲着向后翻滚 and I writhed in pain backwards.
可他仍不断向我投掷更多的苹果 But dad went on throwing more and more apples at me.
这荒诞的场景让我彻底明白 That bizarre scene made me understand
对我的家人来说，我不过是个可悲的累赘 that I was just a miserable nuisance to my family.
我本该展开藏在外壳下的翅膀 I should have spread the wings hidden in my shell
从窗户飞出去的 and flown out the window.
可这念头光想想就让我战栗…… But the thought of trying made me shiver...
日子又一天天过去 那颗苹果任然嵌在我的甲壳里 The days went by and that apple was still lodged in my shell.
它开始腐烂了 It was getting rotten,
仿佛有成千上万只幼虫 在啃食我后背上的皮肤 and I felt as if thousands of larvae were eating the skin on my back.
我也只能一动不动地躺在地板上 Therefore, I could only remain motionless on the floor,
等待格蕾特再次走进我的房间 waiting for Grete to come into my bedroom.
但她再也没有进来过 But she never came in anymore,
我唯一能看到的 and the only thing I could get to see
就是每次她从门口扔食物进来时 门缝闪过的那只手 was her hand every time she threw my food from the door.
我完全没了食欲 I had completely lost my appetite.
卧室很快被堆积如山的食物填满 And then my bedroom quickly turned into a big pile of food
食物每日愈增 which was getting bigger and bigger every day.
我的妹妹甚至都不进来清理那些残渣 But my sister didn't even come in to clean the scraps,
她似乎对此根本漠不关心 and she didn't seem to care about this at all.
直到一个清晨 Early in the morning,
格蕾特发现食物已堵到门边 Grete checked that the food had already reached the door.
她终于踏进了我的房间 So she finally came into my room,
只看见我干瘪的身体，如枯叶般平贴在地 and then she found my body lying completely flat and dry.
父母立即闻声赶来 格蕾特站在他们中间 My parents immediately came in, and Grete stood between them.
他们凝视着躺在地板上的 儿子与兄长的尸体 They were staring at their son and brother lying on the floor.
“看看他瘦成什么样了”妹妹说道 Look how skinny he was," said my sister
这时一道柔和的光洒落在她和她的父母身上 while a nice light was falling on her and her parents.
三个身影紧挨着站在一起 终于如释重负地长舒一口气 The three characters posed very close and they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
最后 格蕾特舒展了她年轻的身躯 And in the end, Grete stretched her young body.
