[00:00.000] 作曲 : Stephen Sondheim
[00:01.300]
[00:05.783] FOSCA:
[00:05.784] I hope I didn't startle you
[00:08.731] GIORGIO:
[00:08.732] Signora Ricci,
[00:10.103] I am Captain Ba...
[00:10.671] FOSCA:
[00:10.672] Bachetti,
[00:12.435] I know
[00:14.302] My cousin has told me all about you
[00:18.411] I came to thank your for the books
[00:23.417] I would have sooner,
[00:25.739] But I've been so ill
[00:30.004] GIORGIO:
[00:30.005] Well, now you seem to be feeling more normal
[00:33.156] FOSCA:
[00:33.157] Normal?
[00:34.702] I hardly think so
[00:37.007] Sickness is normal to me, as health is to you
[00:43.904] Excuse me
[00:46.403] I shouldn't speak of my troubles
[00:49.840] I have been going through a period of deep melancholy
[00:58.651] I so enjoyed the novel by Rousseau
[01:02.102] GIORGIO:
[01:02.103] Oh, it's wonderful
[01:03.808] My favorite, really
[01:06.106] FOSCA:
[01:06.107] The character of Julie is a great mystery
[01:10.002] GIORGIO:
[01:10.003] You should have kept the book longer to meditate over
[01:13.901] FOSCA:
[01:13.902] I do not read to think
[01:19.435] I do not read to learn
[01:23.467] I do not read to search for truth
[01:27.241] I know the truth,
[01:28.703] The truth is hardly what I need
[01:34.127] I read to dream
[01:39.284] I read to live
[01:45.407] In other people's lives
[01:49.786] I read about the joys,
[01:52.104] The world
[01:53.431] Dispenses to the fortunate,
[01:55.911] And listen for the echoes
[02:00.701] I read to live,
[02:07.119] To get away from life!
[02:13.026] No, captain,
[02:14.402] I have no illusions
[02:17.527] I recognize the limits of my dreams
[02:21.080] I know how painful dreams can be
[02:24.508] Unless you know
[02:26.241] They're merely dreams
[02:30.538] There is a flower
[02:35.501] Which offers nectar at the top,
[02:38.001] Delicious nectar at the top
[02:40.705] And bitter poison underneath
[02:42.999] The butterfly that stays too long
[02:46.008] And drinks too deep
[02:47.864] Is doomed to die
[02:51.141] I read to fly,
[02:55.706] To skim!
[02:59.131] I do not read to swim
[03:04.906] I do not dwell on dreams
[03:09.134] I know how soon a dream becomes an expectation
[03:15.503] How can I have expectations?
[03:18.508] Look at me
[03:20.269] No, captain
[03:21.401] Look at me!
[03:22.402] Look at me!
[03:24.201] I do not hope for what I cannot have!
[03:28.509] I do not cling to things I cannot keep!
[03:33.075] The more you cling to things,
[03:35.709] The more you love them,
[03:38.669] The more the pain you suffer
[03:41.106] When they're taken from you...
[03:47.358] Ah, but if you have no expectations,
[03:54.901] Captain,
[03:56.778] You can never have a disappointment
[04:13.907] I must be mad to chatter on about myself like this to you
[04:16.504] Forgive me
[04:17.156] GIORGIO:
[04:17.157] I assure you—
[04:17.805] FOSCA:
[04:17.806] No, forgive me, please...
[04:18.751] GIORGIO:
[04:18.752] But truly, there is nothing to forgive
[04:20.420] FOSCA:
[04:20.421] Have you explored the town?
[04:22.999] It is remote, isn't it?
[04:25.949] And provincial, don't you think?
[04:28.671] GIORGIO:
[04:28.672] Yes
[04:29.071] FOSCA:
[04:29.072] And everything so brown:
[04:30.322] The streets, the fields,
[04:31.674] The river even,
[04:32.927] Though there are some lovely gardens
[04:36.868] You do like gardens, I hope?
[04:38.984] GIORGIO:
[04:38.985] Yes
[04:39.870] FOSCA:
[04:39.871] Good, I can show you gardens
[04:44.465] And then of course there is the castle
[04:48.821] The ruined castle
[04:49.972] GIORGIO:
[04:49.973] Ah
[04:51.007] FOSCA:
[04:51.008] I find it lovely.
[04:52.808] Probably because it's ruined,
[04:54.203] I suppose
[04:55.906] GIORGIO:
[04:55.907] I didn't know there was a castle
[04:57.927] FOSCA:
[04:57.928] I like to take excursions there—
[05:01.833] When I'm in better health
[05:04.201] Perhaps you join me—
[05:06.848] —And my cousin
[05:09.208] One day...
[05:13.607] GIORGIO:
[05:13.608] That would be delightful
[05:15.106] I don't believe I've seen a flower or a garden since the day I arrived
