Chicken Run

（单词翻译）

 

                          

Scene 1:  A group of chickens are planning to escape Tweedy's Farm.

Mrs. Tweedy: Mr. Tweedy, what is that chicken doing outside the fence?

Mr. Tweedy: Ooh! Hehe. I don't know. I...

Mrs. Tweedy: Just deal with it, now!

Mr. Tweedy: (to the chickens) I'll teach you to make a fool out of me! Now let that be a lesson to the lot of ya! No chicken escapes from Tweedy's Farm!!

(In the coop.)

Ginger¹: Think everyone, think. What haven't we tried yet?

Bunty: We haven't tried not trying to escape.

Babs: Hmmm. That might work.

Ginger: What about Edwina? 1)How many more empty nests will it take?

Bunty: Well, perhaps it wouldn't be empty if she spent more time laying and less time escaping.

Ginger: So laying eggs all your life and then getting 2)plucked, stuffed and roasted is good enough for you, is it?

Babs: It's a living.

Ginger: You know what the problem is? The fences aren't just around the farm. they're up here, in your heads. There's a better place out there. Somewhere beyond that hill, and it has wide open spaces, and lots of trees and grass. Can you imagine that? Cool, green grass...

Hen 1: Who feeds us?

Ginger: We feed ourselves.

Hen 2: Well, where's the farm?

Ginger: There is no farm.

Babs: Then where does the farmer live?

Ginger: There is no farmer, Babs.

Babs: Is he on holiday?

Ginger: He isn't anywhere. Don't you get it? There's no morning egg count, no farmers, no dogs and coops and keys, and no fences.

Bunty: In all my life, I've never heard such a fantastic load of 3)tripe! Oh face the facts, doks. The chances of us getting out of here are a million to one.

Ginger: Then there's still a chance!

 

Scene 2: While Ginger is in desperation, however, some hope literally² falls from the sky in the form of Rocky, an American rooster.

Rocky: Ah! Who are you? Where am I? What's going on? Ouch! What happened to my wing?

Ginger: You took a rather nasty fall.

Mac: And 4)sprained³ the anterior⁴ 5)tendon connecting your 6)radius to your humerus. I gave it a 7)wee bit of a 8)tweak, Jimmy, and wrapped her up.

Rocky: Was that English?

Ginger: She said you sprained your wing. She fixed⁵ it.

Babs: And I made the 9)bandage!

Hen 3: I carried you in!

(Chattering.)

Rocky: 10)Whoa. Whoa! Let's 11)back up and start from the top. Where am I?

Ginger: You're right. How rude of us. We're just very excited. This is a chicken farm.

Babs: And we're the chickens.

Rocky: Yeah, with you so far... chicken farm... chickens...

Fowler: I don't like the looks of this one. His eyes are too close together.

Ginger: Father, please!

Fowler: And he's a 12)Yank.

Rocky: Easy 13)Pops, cockfighting's illegal where I come from.

Hen 3: And where is that exactly?

Rocky: Oh, just a little place I call the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Hens: Scotland!

Rocky: No! America!

Chickens: Oh, America!

Fowler: 14)Poppycock!  15)Pushy⁶ Americans!  Always showing up late for every war. Over-paid, over-sexed, and over here!

Rocky: Hey, what's eating grandpa?

Ginger: Oh don't mind him, Mr.... Mr....

Rocky: The name's Rocky. Rocky the Rhode Island Red. Rhodes for short.

Hen 3: Rocky Rhodes?

Rocky: 16)Catchy, ain't it?

Ginger: (showing him the poster) Mr. Rhodes, is this you?

Rocky: Uh, who wants to know?

Ginger: A group of rather desperate chickens. See if it is you, then you just might be the answer to our prayers.

Rocky: Well then, call me a miracle, doll-face, 'cuz that's me.

Babs: And what brings you to England, Mr. Rhodes?

Rocky: Why? All the beautiful English chicks, of course.

Fowler: Git over!

Rocky: See I'm a traveler by nature. I did that whole 17)barnyard thing for a while, but I couldn't really get into it. Hi, how are ya? 18)Nope, the open road! That's more my style. Yup! Just give me a pack on my back, and point me where the wind blows. In fact, you know what they call me back home? You're gonna love that, the Lone⁷ Free Ranger⁸. Yup. Isn't that great?

Ginger: I knew it was possible.

Rocky: Oh, It's possible alright.

Ginger: I knew the answer would come. We're all going to fly over that fence, and Mr. Rhodes is going to show us how. Right?

Rocky: That's....what? Did you say "fly"?

Ginger: You can teach us!

Rocky: No, I can't. Listen, shhh. Did you hear that? That's the open road calling my name, and I was born to answer that call. Bye!

Babs: He must have very good hearing.

(Outside the coop.)

Rocky: Ok, ok. Where's the exit out of this place?

Ginger: Mr. Rhodes! Perhaps I didn't explain our position properly. We lay eggs, 19)day in and day out , and when we can't lay any more, they kill us.

Rocky: It's a cruel world, doll-face. You might as well get used to it.

Ginger: Which part of  "they kill us" do you not understand?

Rocky: Hey, I got my own set of problems to worry about. Besides, this bird-cage can't be that hard to bust⁹ out of. In fact, watch me.

Ginger: It's not so hard to get one chicken out of here or even two, but this is about all of us.

Rocky: All of you?

Ginger: That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Rocky: Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You want to get every chicken in this place out of here at the same time?!

Ginger: Of course.

Rocky: You're 20) certifiable. You can't 21)pull off a 22)stunt like that. That's suicide.

Ginger: Where there's a will, there's a way.

Rocky: Couldn't agree more. And I will be leaving that way.

Ginger: But Mr. Rhodes, please!

Rocky: Oh, I'm the kind of guy, that likes to roam around.....

£¨Suddenly, Rocky's singing is interrupted by an oncoming truck which sets him into a panic. Ginger notices that the truck is from the circus.£©

Ginger: So that's it, you're from the 23)circus.

Rocky: Shhh!

Ginger: You're on the run, aren't you?

Rocky: You wanna keep it down? I'm trying to lay low here.

Ginger: I should 24)turn you in right now

Rocky: You wouldn't, would you?

Ginger: Give me one reason why I shouldn't?

Rocky: Because I'm cute?

Ginger: Broaaaaaaak!!

Rocky: Hey! Hey! What kind of crazy chick are you? Do you know what'll happen if he finds me?

Ginger: It's a cruel world.

Rocky: I just decided¹⁰ I don't like you.

Ginger: I just decided I don't care. Now show us how to fly!

Rocky: With this wing?

Ginger: Teach us then!

Rocky: No!

Ginger: Broaaak!

£¨The Tweedys are talking with the circus man at the door.£©

Mrs. Tweedy: He's valuable you say?

Circus Man: Sure.

Mrs. Tweedy: Get the 25)torch.

£¨They are coming towards the coop.£©

Rocky: Now you listen here, sister. I'm not going back to that life. I'm a lone free ranger, emphasis on free.

Ginger: And that's what we want - freedom!

Rocky: Ah!

Ginger: Fancy that, they're coming this way.

Rocky: Oh no, no, no, they're on to me.

Ginger: Teach us to fly and we'll hide you

Rocky: And if I don't?

Ginger: Broaa...!

Rocky: Was your father by any chance a 26)vulture!

Ginger: Do we have a deal?

 

Scene 3: Fowler must share his bed with Rocky though he complains.

Fowler: Absolutely 27)outrageous¹¹! Asking a senior officer to share his 28)quarters, and with a 29)non-commissioned yank, 30)no less.  Huh! Well, back in my day, I'd never.....

Rocky: You weren't exactly my first choice either. And skootle! Your wing's on my side of the bunk¹².

Fowler: Your side of the bunk? The whole bunk is my side of the bunk!

Rocky: Just! What's that smell? Is that your breath?

Fowler: It's absolutely outrageous.

 

Scene 4: Rocky is coaching the chickens to do some warm-up exercises before they fly.

Rocky: So you wanna fly, huh? Well it ain't gonna be easy and it ain't going to happen over night either. You see flying takes three things: hard work, perseverance¹³, and... hard work.

Fowler: You said hard work twice.

Rocky: That's because it takes twice as much work as perseverance.

Fowler: Hog¹⁴ swallop!

Rocky: Now the most important thing is we have to work as a team, which means you do everything I tell you. Right! Let's rock n roll!

 

Scene 5: The situation goes from bad to worse when the sinister¹⁵ Mrs. Tweedy decides to stop selling eggs and uses the hens as the main ingredient in chicken pot pies.

Mr. Tweedy: What's, what's all this then?

Mrs. Tweedy: This is our future, Mr. Tweedy, no more wasting time with 32)petty egg clutching and 33)minuscule profits.

Mr. Tweedy: No more eggs?  But we've always been egg farmers, my father and his father, and all their fathers, there was always...

Mrs. Tweedy: Poor brainless! Nothings! But all that's about to change. This will take Tweedys' Farm out of the dark ages and into full scale automated¹⁶ production. Militia¹⁷ Tweedy will be poor no longer.

Mr. Tweedy: I'll put it together then, shall I?

 

Scene 6: Rocky risks his own life to save Ginger's. Fowler changes his opinion of Rocky.

Rocky: Alright pops, what did I do now?

Fowler: A very brave and honorable deed, sir. 34)In the light of your action this evening, I 35)dutifully admit that I have misjudged your character. I present you with this medal for bravery. And I salute¹⁸ you! 36)In honor of the occasion, I surrender the bunk entirely¹⁹. I shall sleep under the stars. I await tomorrow's flying demonstration²⁰ with great anticipation²¹.

Rocky: You and me both, pops.

 

Scene 7: Rocky can't fly, but it seems too late for him to tell the truth to the chickens. What should he do? He is hesitating to make his decision on the roof when Ginger comes up.

Rocky: Oh!

Ginger: I'm sorry...

Rocky: Is this your... Oh, I'll get down...

Ginger: No, no, it's just... well, since you're here, there's something I...

Rocky: I'm glad that you are here...

Ginger: I'm sorry.

Rocky: No, you go first...

Ginger: I just wanted to say that I may have been a bit 37)harsh at first, well what I really mean is thank you for saving my life, for saving our lives. You know. I come up here every night and look out at that hill, and just imagine what it must be like on the other side. It's funny, I've never actually felt grass beneath my feet. I'm sorry, here I am 38)rambling on about hills and grass and you had something you wanted to say.

Rocky: Uh, yeah. It's just that, you know life, as I've experienced it, you know, out there along the free range and all that stuff. It's full of disappointments.

Ginger: You mean grass isn't all it's 39)cracked up to be?

Rocky: Grass!  Exactly, grass. It's always greener on the other side. And then you get there, and it's brown and 40)prickly. You see what I'm trying to say? What I'm trying to say is... you're welcome.

Ginger: You know, That hill is looking closer tonight than it ever has before.

(Ginger's hand touches Rocky's.)

Rocky: Oh!

Ginger: Well, good night, Rocky.

Rocky: Good night, Ginger.

 

  小鸡快跑

 

场景一：一群梯迪农场的小鸡正在策划逃亡。

梯迪太太：梯迪先生，小鸡们在篱笆外做什么？

梯迪先生：哦！呵呵。我不知道。我……

梯迪太太：去处理，现在就去！

梯迪先生：（对小鸡说）竟敢玩我，有你们好看的！这是给你的教训！梯迪农场是逃不走任何小鸡的！！

（在鸡舍里）

金吉尔：大家想想，想想看。还有什么办法是我们没试过的？

芭蒂：我们没试过不尝试逃跑。

芭布斯：唔。那也许管用。

金吉尔：看看爱德薇娜的下场吧，还要多空几个鸡窝呢？

芭蒂：如果她多花点时间下蛋而不是想什么逃跑的话，窝也许就不会空了。

金吉尔：那么你下一辈子的蛋，然后给人拨毛、填料、烘烤，对你来说就已经很不错了，是不是？

芭布斯：谋生就是如此。

金吉尔：你们知道问题在哪吗？栅栏不是围农场，是围这儿，围住了你们的头脑。外边有更好的地方。就在山那边，天地是开阔的，林草茂盛。你们想到了吗？真好啊，草儿青葱……

母鸡1：谁来喂养我们？

金吉尔：我们自己喂养自己。

母鸡2：农场在哪？

金吉尔：没有农场。

芭布斯：那农夫住哪？

金吉尔：没有农夫，芭布斯。

芭布斯：他去度假了吗？

金吉尔：他哪儿也没去。你们还没明白过来吗？每天早晨用不着再数鸡蛋，没有农夫，没有狗，没有鸡笼，也没有钥匙，没有栅栏。

芭蒂：我一辈子从来没听过那么美丽的胡言乱语！噢，面对现实吧，大伙儿。我们从这儿出去的机会是百万分之一。

金吉尔：那就是还有机会！

 

场景二：正当金吉尔陷入绝望的时候，一只美国公鸡从天而降，似乎带来一线曙光。

洛奇：啊！你是谁？我在哪？发生了什么事？哎哟！我的翅膀怎么了？

金吉尔：你很不光彩地摔下来了。

麦克：兼扭伤连接你肱部的前腱。金吉尔，我做了稍许拧动，吉米，再做了包扎。

洛奇：他说的是英语吗？

金吉尔：她说你扭伤了翅膀。是她给你治疗的。

芭布斯：是我弄的绷带。

母鸡3：是我抬你进来的！

（众鸡邀功争论声。）

洛奇：哇。哇！倒过去从头说起。我在哪？

金吉尔：你是对的。我们太粗鲁了。我们都很激动。这儿是养鸡场。

芭布斯：我们是鸡。

洛奇：是的，目前我和你们一起……养鸡场……鸡……

福乐：我不喜欢这家伙的模样。他的两只眼睛长得太近了。

金吉尔：爸爸，别说了！

福乐：他还是个美国佬。

洛奇：别急，大爷，我来的地方斗鸡可是违法事儿。

母鸡3：那究竟是什么地方？

洛奇：噢，小地方，我称之为自由之土，勇者之家。

母鸡们：苏格兰！

洛奇：不对！是美国！

母鸡们：哦，美国！

福乐：胡说八道！爱出风头的美国人！每场战争都最后一个出来。物价昂贵、滥交，竟然还跑到这来了！

洛奇：大爷是怎么回事？

金吉尔：哦，别管他，您是……您是……

洛奇：名叫洛奇。罗德岛的红公鸡洛奇，简称罗德鸡。

母鸡3：洛奇·罗德斯？

洛奇：很好记，是吧？

金吉尔：（拿出海报来）罗德斯先生，这是您吗？

洛奇：唔，是谁想知道？

金吉尔：一群绝望的鸡。如果那就是您的话，也许你就正是我们所期盼的人。

洛奇：那么说，就把我成为奇迹吧，小可爱，因为那正是本人。

芭布斯：什么风把您吹到英国来的，罗德斯先生？

洛奇：原因吗？当然是为了一睹英国小鸡的美丽芳容了。

福乐：是吗！

洛奇：要知道我天生可是个旅行家。我以前在谷仓里住过一阵子，但我不怎么喜欢那儿。嗨，你好吗？不，是大路！那才是我的风格。对！背上背包，追寻风的方向。其实你们知道在家乡他们是怎么称呼我的吗？你们会喜欢这个名字的--自由浪人。对。那岂不是棒极了吗？

金吉尔：我就知道是有可能的。

洛奇：哦，是很有可能的。

金吉尔：我早就知道答案会出现的。我们都要飞过这栅栏，洛奇先生会教会我们的。对吗？

洛奇：是……什么？你说"飞行"？

金吉尔：您会教我们的！

洛奇：不，不行。瞧，嘘--你们听到了吗？大路在呼喊我的名字，我天生要响应那声呼唤。再见！

芭布斯：他的听力一定很好。

（在鸡舍外。）

洛奇：好了，好了。这地方的出口在哪？

金吉尔：罗德斯先生！也许是我没解释清楚我们的处境。我们没完没了地下蛋，等我们再下不出蛋时，就得给杀掉。

洛奇：世界是残酷的，小可爱。或许你也习惯了。

金吉尔：是给杀掉，你是不是没听明白？

洛奇：嗨，我自己也有烦恼。再说了，要从这鸡笼出去也没什么难的。其实你瞧瞧我。

金吉尔：一两只鸡出去是没什么难，但我说的是我们全体。

洛奇：全体？

金吉尔：我就是这么跟你说的。

洛奇：等等，让我弄清楚了。你想把所有的鸡同时从这地方弄出去？！

金吉尔：当然。

洛奇：你这种傻事是不可能成功的。那是自杀。

金吉尔：有志者事竟成。

洛奇：我非常同意。但我要走了，走那边。

金吉尔：可罗德斯先生，求求你了！

洛奇：噢，我是喜欢四处漂流的人……

（突然，洛奇的歌声给一辆开来的卡车打断了，他惊慌失措。金吉尔发现卡车是从马戏团来的。）

金吉尔：原来如此，你是从马戏团来的。

洛奇：嘘--

金吉尔：你逃跑出来的，是不是？

洛奇：你能不能安静点？我这是要保持低调。

金吉尔：我现在就该把你交出去。

洛奇：你不会的，是不是？

金吉尔：你说一个原因，为什么我不该？

洛奇：因为我很可爱？

金吉尔：啊--！！

洛奇：嗨！嗨！你发什么疯？你知不知道如果他找到我了会怎样？

金吉尔：世界是残酷的。

洛奇：我很确定不喜欢你。

金吉尔：我很确定我不在乎。教我们飞行！

洛奇：凭我受伤的翅膀？

金吉尔：教我们！

洛奇：不教！

金吉尔：啊--！

（梯迪兄妹在门口与马戏团的人说着话。）

梯迪太太：你说他很值钱？

马戏团的人：当然。

梯迪太太：给我拿电筒来。

（他们朝鸡舍走来。）

洛奇：好，你听着，大姐。我不要回到那样的生活中。我是个自由浪人，向往自由。

金吉尔：那正是我们所想要的--自由！

洛奇：啊！

金吉尔：有意思吧，他们往这边来了。

洛奇：噢，不，不，不，他们抓我来了。

金吉尔：教我们飞行的话，我们就把你藏起来。

洛奇：如果我不教呢？

金吉尔：啊……

洛奇：你父亲会不会也是这样乘人之危！

金吉尔：一言为定？

 

场景三：福勒牢骚满腹，但还是不得不与洛奇一起摊床而睡。

福乐：太过分了！竟然让一名高级军官把住处让给一个没军衔的美国佬。哼！换了是从前的话，我绝对不……

洛奇：我也不愿意呢。去你的吧！你的翅膀搭到我这边床了。

福乐：你那边床？这整张床都是我的！

洛奇：那又怎么样！这是什么味道？你的口气吗？

福乐：真是太过分了。

场景四：洛奇在训练鸡群做飞行前的热身运动。洛奇：你们想飞，对吧？这可不是什么容易事，也不会一夜成功。飞行需要三个因素：勤奋、毅力，还有……勤奋。

福乐：你说勤奋说了两遍。

洛奇：因为那比毅力要多花两倍的工夫。

福乐：这个撒谎精！

洛奇：现在最重要的就是我们要团结一心，我让你们怎么做你们就怎么做！让我们跳起来！

 

场景五：坏心眼的梯迪太太决定不再卖鸡蛋而改为制罐装鸡肉饼，这使局势愈加恶化了

梯迪先生：这是，这是什么？

梯迪太太：是我们的未来，梯迪先生，再用不着浪费时间捡鸡蛋、赚些蝇头小利。

梯迪先生：不捡鸡蛋？可我们是蛋农啊，我父亲、父亲的父亲、父亲的父亲的父亲全都是……

梯迪太太：可怜的不中用的！什么也没得到！不过转机就要来了。这将把梯迪农场从苦难日子里解救出来，迈向完全自动化的生产。米丽蒂娅·梯迪再也不会穷了。

梯迪先生：那我把这些零件组合起来，好吗？

 

场景六：洛奇奋不顾身地救了金吉尔一命。福勒改变对洛奇的看法。

洛奇：好了，大爷，我又做错了什么？

福乐：你做了一件勇敢的光荣事迹，先生。鉴于你今天晚上的所为，我衷心承认我曾经错误地评价了你的品格。我给你颁发这枚英雄勋章，并且向你致敬！为表敬意，我让出整张床。我自己到星光下去睡。我热切地盼望着明天的飞行表演。

洛奇：我和你一样盼望呢，大爷。

 

场景七：洛奇不会飞。但要把真相告诉鸡群似乎已太晚了。他该怎么办呢？正当他在屋顶上犹疑不决的时候，金吉尔也上到屋顶上来。

洛奇：噢！

金吉尔：对不起……

洛奇：这是你的……噢，我这就下去……

金吉尔：不，不，只是……自从你到了这儿后，我就有点儿……

洛奇：很高兴你在这儿……

金吉尔：对不起。

洛奇：不，你先说吧……

金吉尔：我想说的是，也许起初我是苛刻了一些，唔，我真正要说的是谢谢你救了我的命，救了我们大家的命。你知道。我每天晚上上这来看着远山，幻想那边有怎样的风景。真好笑，我还没亲脚感受过绿草。真抱歉，我在这胡说着又是山又是草的，而你还有话要说呢。

洛奇：哦，是的。就是，这个生活嘛，据我的经历，唔，到外面去，自由自在什么的。会有很多失望。

金吉尔：你是说草没有我们想的那么好吧？

洛奇：草！对了，草。另一边的草总是绿些。但等你到了那儿，其实草既黄又多刺。你明白我说的意思吗？我说的是……你太客气了。

金吉尔：你知道，这山今晚看起来比平时更近了。

（金吉尔的手碰到洛奇的手。）

洛奇：噢！

金吉尔：晚安了，洛奇。

洛奇：晚安了，金吉尔。
