[00:00.03]Life Story by Tennessee Williams   生活的故事 田纳西・威廉斯
[00:05.30]After you've been to bed together for the first time,   这是你们第一次一床同眠，共剪西窗烛
[00:09.70]without the advantage or disadvantage of any prior acquaintance,   而事先没有相互之间带有偏爱或偏见的相知相识
[00:14.99]the other party very often says to you,   你们一中的一个伙伴总是会和你说
[00:19.52]Tell me about yourself, I want to know all about you,   和我聊聊你自己吧，我对你的一切都有浓厚兴趣
[00:25.30]what's your story?   你的经历是什么呢？
[00:28.02]And you think maybe they really and truly do sincerely want to know your life story,    然后你觉得他们可能真的真的想要了解你的往事，既然他们这么真诚地想要了解你的生命历程，
[00:35.90]and so you light up a cigarette and begin to tell it to them,   所以你就点燃一支烟然后开始向他们讲述你的故事
[00:39.98]the two of you lying together in completely relaxed positions   你和你的伙伴翻身调整到了一个特别舒服的位置，
[00:45.50]like a pair of rag dolls a bored child dropped on a bed.   你们就像一个身处无聊的小孩扔在床上的一对布娃娃
[00:51.34]You tell them your story, or as much of your story as time   你告诉他们你的往事，或者说你的整个过去，
[00:56.30]or a fair degree of prudence allows,   出于时间的流逝或者一种彬彬有礼，谨慎处事的教养，
[00:59.10]and they say,Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,   他们说嗯，嗯，嗯，嗯，嗯
[01:07.00]each time a little more faintly, until the oh is just an audible breath,   回应一次比一次渐微渐弱，直到这个"嗯"字，完全变成了听得到的鼾声，
[01:14.46]and then of course there's some interruption.   然后，理所当然地总会有些干扰突然出现。
[01:18.62]Slow room service comes up with a bowl of melting ice cubes,   比如说缓慢的客房服务送来了，一碗融化的糖浆，
[01:23.76]or one of you rises to pee   或者你们中的一个突然想要起夜
[01:25.57]and gaze at himself with the mild astonishment in the bathroom mirror.   面对盥洗室的镜子时，他略带吃惊的凝视着自己的镜像
[01:31.46]And then, the first thing you know,   然后，你所知道的第一件事，
[01:35.16]before you've had time to pick up where you left off with your enthralling life story,  在你有时间再去陈说你那没有讲完的迷人生命历程前
[01:41.06]they're telling you their life story, exactly as they'd intended to all along,   他们开始对你讲说他们以前的故事，这是他们期待已久的倾诉
[01:46.80]and you're saying, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,   你开始对他们的言语回应，嗯，嗯，嗯，嗯，嗯
[01:54.80]each time a little more faintly, the vowel at last becoming no more than an audible sigh,   每一次声量都减弱一分，最后这种应答成为了清晰可辨的鼾息
[02:03.52]as the elevator, halfway down the corridor and a turn to the left,   这种鼾声如同一台出门需要左行却早已卡在半层的电梯，
[02:09.48]draws one last, long, deep breath of exhaustion and stops breathing forever.   让某人呼尽最后的、精疲力竭的、长而深的气息便再也没有了呼吸。
[02:19.45]Then?   然后呢？
[02:22.30]Well, one of you falls asleep and the other one does likewise with a lighted cigarette in his mouth,   其实，当你们中的一个人进入了永恒的梦乡，其他人则继续叼着一支点燃的香烟，开始讲述他们的故事，无可厚非地
and that's how people burn to death in hotel rooms.   这就是人们怎样在一家旅馆中，燃尽自己的生命。
