[00:11.344]In 1974 I went to Mexico to visit my brother who
[00:17.303]1974年 我远赴墨西哥 探访在那里
[00:17.303]Was working as an anthropologist with Tsutsil Indians
[00:21.983]与楚齐尔印第安人共事的兄长 他身为人类学家
[00:21.983]The last surviving Mayan tribe
[00:26.553]研究这最后的玛雅部落
[00:26.553]And the Tsutsil speak a lovely birdlike language
[00:31.273]楚齐尔人说着如鸟鸣般动听的语言
[00:31.273]And are quite tiny physically;
[00:33.702]身形都相当娇小
[00:33.702]I towered over them
[00:36.782]我显得格外高大
[00:36.782]Mostly I spent my days following the women around
[00:41.561]大多时日 我都跟随着部落女性
[00:41.561]Since my brother wasn't really allowed to do this
[00:45.619]因兄长不便如此亲近她们
[00:45.619]We got up at 3am and began to
[00:48.818]凌晨三点我们就起身
[00:48.818]Separate the corn into three colors
[00:52.448]将玉米按三种颜色分拣
[00:52.448]And we boiled it ran to the mill and back
[00:55.188]煮沸后往返磨坊奔波
[00:55.188]And finally started to make the tortillas
[00:59.267]终于开始制作玉米饼
[00:59.267]Now all the other women's tortillas were 360
[01:04.427]其他妇女的饼完美无缺
[01:04.427]Perfectly toasted perfectly round;
[01:08.817]金黄酥脆 浑圆如月
[01:08.817]And after a lot of
[01:09.757]纵使我反复练习
[01:09.757]Practice mine were still lobe-sided and charred
[01:16.517]做出的饼仍焦黑歪斜
[01:16.517]And when they thought I wasn't looking
[01:20.117]当他们以为我没注意时
[01:20.117]They threw them to the dogs
[01:24.477]就把那些饼喂给了狗
[01:24.477]After breakfast we spent the rest of the day down
[01:27.856]早餐后我们整日都在河边
[01:27.856]At the river watching the goats and braiding
[01:31.465]看着山羊 互相编着
[01:31.465]And unbraiding each other's hair
[01:34.505]又拆开彼此的发辫
[01:34.505]So usually there wasn't that much to report
[01:38.555]所以通常没什么特别的事可讲
[01:38.555]One day the women decided to braid
[01:41.224]有天女人们决定按Tsutsil方式
[01:41.224]My hair Tsutsil-style
[01:44.704]给我编头发
[01:44.704]After they did this I saw my reflection in a puddle
[01:50.663]当他们为我装扮后 我在水洼中看见倒影
[01:50.663]I looked ridiculous but they said
[01:55.962]模样滑稽可笑 但他们却说
[01:55.962]“Before we did this you were ugly but now
[02:02.782]"从前你虽丑陋 如今这般打扮
[02:02.782]Maybe you will find a husband ”
[02:10.552]或许能觅得良缘"
[02:10.552]I lived within in a yurt a thatched structure
[02:15.370]我栖身于圆顶茅屋
[02:15.370]Shaped like a cob cake
[02:17.959]形似玉米蒸糕
[02:17.959]And there's a central fireplace ringed by sleeping
[02:21.369]中央炉火环绕着
[02:21.369]Shelves sort of like a dry beaver down
[02:27.229]层层睡榻 恍若干燥的河狸巢穴
[02:27.229]Now my Tsutsil name was Lausha
[02:31.238]我的Tsutsil名字叫Lausha
[02:31.238]Which loosely translated means
[02:34.638]大致翻译过来就是
[02:34.638]The ugly one with the jewels
[02:39.838]"戴着珠宝的丑女"
[02:39.838]Now ugly OK I was awfully tall by local standards
[02:46.696]丑就丑吧 按当地标准我确实高得离谱
[02:46.696]But what did they mean by the jewels
[02:53.726]但他们说的珠宝是什么意思
[02:53.726]I didn't find out what this meant until one night
[02:57.306]直到某个夜晚我才明白其中含义
[02:57.306]When I was taking my contact lenses out
[03:00.756]当我取下隐形眼镜时
[03:00.756]And since I'd lost the case I was carefully
[03:03.605]因为弄丢了眼镜盒 我小心翼翼地
[03:03.605]Placing them on the sleeping shelf;
[03:07.295]将它们安放在沉睡的架子上
[03:07.295]Suddenly I noticed that everyone was staring at me
[03:12.313]忽然间我注意到所有人都在注视着我
[03:12.313]And I realized that none of the
[03:14.373]这时我才明白
[03:14.373]Tsutsil had ever seen glasses
[03:16.833]Tsutsil族人从未见过眼镜
[03:16.833]Much less contacts and that these were
[03:20.922]更不用说隐形眼镜 而这些就是
[03:20.922]The jewels the transparent
[03:25.852]那些珠宝 那些晶莹剔透的
[03:25.852]Perfectly round jewels that
[03:29.122]完美圆润的 珠宝
[03:29.122]I carefully hid on the shelf
[03:31.212]被我小心藏在架子上的珍宝
[03:31.212]At night and then put for safekeeping
[03:36.611]夜晚将它们妥善收藏
[03:36.611]Into my eyes every morning
[03:42.441]清晨再嵌入我的双眼
[03:42.441]So I may have been ugly but so what
[03:52.080]或许我其貌不扬 但那又何妨
[03:52.080]I had the jewels
[04:06.340]我拥有璀璨珠宝
[04:06.340]Full fathom thy father lies
[04:13.649]五噚深处长眠汝父
[04:13.649]Of his bones are coral made
[04:20.638]珊瑚为骨 晶莹不朽
[04:20.638]Those are pearls that were his eyes
[04:27.698]珍珠原是故人眼眸
[04:27.698]Nothing of him that doth fade
[04:33.858]形骸虽逝 精魂永驻
[04:33.858]But that suffers a sea change
[04:41.678]但这一切都经历了沧海桑田的变迁
[04:41.678]Into something rich and strange
[04:49.438]化作瑰丽而陌生的模样
[04:49.438]And I alone am left to tell the tale
[04:57.658]唯我独存 讲述这段传奇
[04:57.658]Call me Ishmael
[05:00.028]唤我以实玛利
[05:00.028]
