为奴十二年 台词

几天前我还跟家人在一起，在自己家里，现在你告诉我什么都没了，不告诉别人我是谁，这就是生存之道，可是我不想生存，我想生活。

Days ago I was with my family, in my home. Now you tell me all is lost. Tell no one who I am? That's the way to survive. Well, I don't want to survive. I want to live.

让自己沉浸在悲伤里，你就会越陷越深。

You let yourself be overcome by sorrow. You will drown in it.

为了捍卫自由，我的背上满是伤痕。

My back is thick with scars from protesting my freedom.

我都不记得上次挨鞭子是什么时候了，也没在地里干活了，原来是我服侍别人，现在别人服侍我，我现在的生活，唯一的代价就是肖大人，处处拈花惹草，而我假装享受他的假忠诚，如果这样我就不用去摘棉花。

I ain't felt the end of a lash in 'mo years than I cain recall. I ain't worked a field, neither. Where once I served, now I have others servin' me. The cost to my current existence be Massa Shaw...broadcasting his affections and me enjoyin' the pantomime of his fidelity. If that what keep me from the cotton pickin' niggers.

我知道作为主人的玩物，和偏爱的对象是什么感受，不是夜里强取豪夺地占有，就是一顿鞭子抽在身上。

I knowed what it like to be the object of Massa's predilections and peculiarities. A lusty visit in the night, or a visitation with the whip.

我只求了结自己的生命，把我的尸体运到沼泽边上去，掐死我，把我按到水里，直到我没气了为止，把我埋到荒无人烟的地方。

All I ask is end my life. Take my body to the margin of the swamp. Take me by the throat. Hold me low in the water until I's still 'n without life. Bury me in a lonely place of dyin'.

黑暗的日子已经过去了，清洁的生活，虔诚的祈祷，终于带走了虫害，这批棉花像新英格兰的雪一样又白又厚，现在我的黑奴又回来干活了。

Dark times is behind us. Clean livin' 'n prayer done lifted the plague. As thick 'n white as New England snow. 'N now my niggers is returned to me.

法律会变，艾普斯，但普世真理是不变的，有一个事实，简单明了，只要是真理，就对所有人都适用，不论是黑是白。

Laws change, Epps. Universal truths though are constant. It is a fact, a plain and simple fact that what is true and right is true and right for all. White and black alike.

这些黑奴也是人，如果他们只能受到和动物一样的待遇，总有一天你和你的同类会为此付出代价。艾普斯先生，一种罪恶，一种可怕的罪恶，正在整个国家蔓延，总有一天，要做个了断。

These niggers are human beings. If they are allowed to claim no higher than brute animals, you and men like you will have to answer for it. There's an ill, Mr. Epps, a fearful ill, resting upon this nation, and there will be a day of reckoning yet.
