《神探夏洛克》精讲 388文身

 - Uh, yeah, yeah, listening.

-那是什么  -那就是  我

- What is that? - That is...me.

是我的替代品

Well, it's a me substitute.

别这么妄自菲薄

Don't be so hard on yourself.

你知道我很看重你的小贡献

You know I value your little contributions.

是吗  它已经在那儿一上午了

Yeah? It's been there since nine this morning.

-是吗  你去哪了  -帮赫太太做数独

- Has it? Where were you? - Helping¹ Mrs H with her sudoku.

-那我的女友呢  -什么

- What about my girlfriend? - What?

你说我的前...

You said I had an ex...

你的臂弯处有一个日语文身

You've got a Japanese tattoo² in the crook³ of your elbow

是人名红子

in the name Akako.

显然你曾试图把它去掉

It's obvious you've tried to have it removed.

但那无疑代表我想忘记她

But surely that means I want to forget her,

而不是漠不关心

not that I'm indifferent.

如果她真的伤了你的心

If she'd really hurt your feelings,

你一定会设法把文身去掉

you would've had the word obliterated⁴.

第一次没有成功  你就没再尝试了

The first attempt wasn't successful, and you haven't tried again,

看来你能忍受略微模糊的红子的回忆

so it seems you can live with the slightly blurred⁵ memory of Akako,

所以说是漠不关心

hence the indifference⁶.

我还以为你用了什么妙招

I... I thought you'd done something clever.

不过经你一解释  这还挺简单  是吧

Ah, now, but now you've explained it, it's dead simple, innit?

我一直对你瞒着这件事  金斯利先生

I've withheld⁷ this information from you until now, Mr Kingsley,

但我想你该知道真相了

but I think it's time you knew the truth.
