罗马假日

(可爱的安妮公主在访问罗马期间，厌烦繁琐的皇家生活。她在床上发泄不满，而伯爵夫人毫不体谅地向她汇报明天的工作议程。)

ANN: (brushing her hair) I hate this nightgown. I hate all my nightgowns. And I hate all my underwear too.

安妮: (梳着头发)我讨厌这件睡袍。我讨厌所有的睡袍。我同样讨厌我的内衣。

COUNTESS: My dear, you have lovely things.

伯爵夫人：亲爱的，你有很多可爱的东西。

ANN: But I'm not two hundred years old! (Dropping down on the bed) Why can't I sleep in pyjamas?

安妮: 但我可没有两百岁大！（倒在床上） 为什么我不能穿着松睡衣睡觉？

COUNTESS: (looking up as she folds the sheets into place) Pyjamas!

伯爵夫人：（折叠着床单抬起头）松睡衣！

ANN: (Just) the top half. Did you know there are people who sleep with absolutely nothing on at all?

安妮: 仅露出上头。你知道有些人裸体而睡吗？

COUNTESS: (opening the window) I rejoice to say that I did not.

伯爵夫人：（打开窗子）我很庆幸地说,我不知道。

ANN: (lying against the headboard, smiling as she hears distant music coming in through the window) Listen.

安妮:（靠着床头板躺着，微笑地听着从窗外传来的音乐）听。

COUNTESS: Oh, and your slippers. Please put on your slippers and come away at the window. Your milk and crackers.

伯爵夫人： 嗨，你的拖鞋。 快穿上拖鞋，离开窗户。 你的牛奶和饼干在这里。

ANN: (taking the tray; as the Countess helps her pull the covers over her) Everything we do is so wholesome【有营养的】.

安妮:（拿着托盘，伯爵夫人为她取开盖子） 我们所有的一切都是有益健康的。

COUNTESS: They'll help you to sleep.

伯爵夫人：它们有助睡眠。

ANN: (stubbornly) I'm too tired to sleep-- can't sleep a wink【瞬间】.

安妮:（倔强地） 我累得反而一点都睡不着。

COUNTESS: Now my dear, if you don't mind tomorrow's schedule--or schedule whichever you prefer-- both are correct. Eight thirty, breakfast here with the Embassy staff; nine o'clock, we leave for the Polinory Automotive Works where you'll be presented with a small car.

伯爵夫人：哦，亲爱的，你喜欢明天的日程安排么，或者说你喜欢哪个—两个都不错。八点半，和使馆人员共进早餐；九点， 参观波利若里汽车工厂，你将获赠一部小汽车。
