Vampire Killer
吸⾎⿁猎⼿
Are you here for the job?
Yes.
This is Colin Miller. He wants a job.
Why are you laughing?
We're all here for the job!
你是来找⼯作的吗?
是的。
这是科林·⽶勒。他想找⼀份⼯作。
你笑什么?
我们都是来找⼯作的!

It is not easy.
Sorry. There are no jobs.
I'm sorry. There's no work here.
No. Sorry.
Wait a minute! What's this?
(Do you need a job? Must be strong, fast and brave. Telephone:
Professor Marcus Fletcher at 555 8621.)
⼯作并不容易找。
对不起。这⼉不缺⼈。
抱歉。这⼉不需要⼈。
不。很抱歉。
等⼀下!这是什么?
(你需要⼀份⼯作吗?要⾝体强壮,跑得快,胆⼦⼤。联系电
话:555 8621 找马库斯·弗莱彻教授。)

I'm strong, fast and brave … I can do this job.


Hello. I'm calling about the job.
Come to 58 Bottle Road.
I can come tomorrow.
Tomorrow's no good. You must come now.
But …
Twenty minutes later …
(DING DONG!)
Yes? What do you want?
Professor Fletcher? I'm Colin Miller.
Come in.
我⾝体强壮、跑得快,也很勇敢……我能做这份⼯作。
你好。我想问问那份⼯作的情况。
到博特尔路58号来。
我明天能去。
明天不⾏。你必须现在就来。
可是……
20分钟后……
(叮咚!)
嗯?什么事?
您是弗莱彻教授吗?我是科林·⽶勒。
进来吧。

Sit down. Why do you want this job?


I need money. There aren't any jobs in this town.
The professor asks lots of questions.
How old are you?
Eighteen.
Are you a fast runner?
Well, I play football every week.
Are you strong and brave?
Well, yes. I think I am.
Do you like horror films?
They're OK. Why? Are you making a horror film?
Do you believe in ghosts?
What?
What is this job?
请坐。你为什么想要这份⼯作?
我需要钱。镇上找不到⼯作。
教授问了很多问题。
你多⼤了?
18岁。
你跑得快吗?
嗯,我每周都踢⾜球。
你⾝体强壮吗?胆⼦⼤吗?
嗯,是的。我想是的。
你喜欢恐怖⽚吗?
还⾏。为什么问这个?您在拍恐怖⽚吗?
你相信世上有⿁魂吗?
什么?
这是什么⼯作?

Then Fletcher asks the important question.


Do you believe in vampires?
Vampires! Oh dear — this is no good!
It's late! Sorry! I must go now. I —
Wait! You need a job and you need money!
But what is the job?
I am a vampire killer. I find vampires and I kill them … And now I
need help.
Vampires? Are you talking about Dracula?
随后弗莱彻问了⼀个关键问题。
你相信世上有吸⾎⿁吗?
吸⾎⿁!哦,天哪——这可不妙!
天晚了!抱歉!我现在得⾛了。 我——
等等!你需要⼀份⼯作,你需要钱!
可这究竟是什么⼯作?
我是个吸⾎⿁猎⼿。我寻找吸⾎⿁并猎杀它们……现在我需要帮
助。
吸⾎⿁?您是说德拉库拉吗?

Dracula is a book, but this is true. There is a vampire here in your


town. I must find it and kill it tonight or …
Meet me near the supermarket at midnight.
Colin looks at the money in Fletcher's hand for a long time.
It is a lot of money, but …
Then …
OK.
Good! See you at midnight.
《德拉库拉》是书,⽽这是真实的。你们镇上有个吸⾎⿁。我必
须在今晚找到并杀死它,否则……
今天午夜在超市附近等我。
科林久久地盯着弗莱彻⼿中的钱。
真是⼀⼤笔钱,可是……
然后……
好的。
很好!午夜见。

It's dark and cold in the street now.


Excuse me.
My name's Claudia. I'm here for the job.
Be careful. He's crazy. He's a vampire killer.
Ha! Ha! Vampires? Wonderful! Are you working for him?
Yes … but this isn't a joke!
OK, but I'm interested. Perhaps he wants another helper?
这时路上又⿊又冷。
打扰⼀下。
我叫克劳迪娅。我是来应聘这份⼯作的。
⼩⼼点⼉。他疯了。他是名吸⾎⿁猎⼿。
哈!哈!吸⾎⿁?太棒了!你为他⼯作吗?
是的……但这可不是开玩笑!
好吧,不过我挺感兴趣的。或许他还需要⼀个帮⼿?

Colin is tired, but he does not want to go home.


Perhaps one little drink …
Two pounds, please.
I've got no more money now.
Two of Colin's friends are in the pub.
Hi, Colin. Have you got a job now?
Oh … yes.
What do you do?
I'm a … a vampire killer.
They stop laughing after about ten minutes.
科林很累,可他不想回家。
或许该喝点⼉酒……
请付两英镑。
我现在⼀点⼉钱也没有了。
科林的两个朋友在酒吧⾥。
嗨,科林。你现在找到⼯作了吗?
哦……找到了。
你做什么?
我是……是吸⾎⿁猎⼿。
他们笑了差不多⼗分钟才停下来。

Come here and give me a kiss!


Go away!
Hey! Where are you going?
The supermarket.
But the supermarket's…
… closed.
Oh, no! My watch is slow. I'm late!
Professor Fletcher is not at the supermarket. But someone is
waiting there.
来亲我⼀下!
⾛开!
嘿!你去哪⼉?
超市。
可是超市已经……
……关门了。
哦,不!我的表慢了。我迟到了!
弗莱彻教授不在超市。可有个⼈在那⼉等着。

Hello again.
It's you! You're working for the professor too!
Tell me something, Colin. Do you believe in vampires?
No! Do you?
They both laugh.
Just then they hear a noise.
You're here. Good. Are you ready?
Oh, yes!
又见⾯了。
是你!你也来为教授⼯作了!
跟我说说,科林。你相信世上有吸⾎⿁吗?
不信!你呢?
他们都笑了起来。
正在这时,他们听到有动静。
你们都在这⼉。很好。你们准备好了吗?
哦,是的!

Here. Take these.


Let's go.
Where are we going?
We're looking for this man.
Claudia is laughing. Colin smiles too.
Is he the … vampire?
No, this man works for the vampire.
Oh? That's a good job. Does he get a lot of money?
给。拿着这些东西。
我们⾛吧。
我们去哪⼉?
我们去找这个男⼈。
克劳迪娅⼤笑起来。科林也笑了。
他是……吸⾎⿁?
不,这个⼈为吸⾎⿁⼯作。
哦?那可是份好⼯作。他赚很多钱吗?

The professor does not answer Claudia's question.


His name's Renfield … and I know where he lives!
They run through the dark streets.
This is the street. We can wait here.
So they wait …
… and wait.
教授没有回答克劳迪娅的问题。
他叫伦菲尔德……我知道他住哪⼉!
他们跑过⿊暗的街道。
就是这条街。我们可以在这⼉等。
于是他们等啊……
……等啊。

Claudia and Colin talk quietly.


Tell me about yourself, Colin. How old are you?
I'm eighteen. And you?
I'm older than you!
She has a nice smile. She has beautiful eyes too. Don't be stupid, Colin
— ask her!
Claudia, would you like to go out with me tomorrow afternoon?
Thanks, Colin, but I can't.
Oh, that's OK. It doesn't matter …sorry.
I can't meet you in the afternoon …but I can meet you tomorrow night.
Wonderful! Where do you live?
That's OK, Colin. I can find you.
克劳迪娅和科林⼩声聊了起来。
跟我说说你的情况,科林。你多⼤了?
我18岁了。你呢?
我⽐你⼤!
她笑起来很好看。她的眼睛也很美。别傻了,科林——问问她!
克劳迪娅,你愿意明天下午和我出去吗?
谢谢,科林,可我不能去。
哦,没事。没关系……对不起。
我下午不能见你……不过我明天晚上能见你。
太棒了!你住哪⼉?
⽆所谓,科林。我能找到你。

Just then they hear a noise.


What's that?
(SHUSH!)
A man comes out of the house.
It is Renfield!
Colin is suddenly afraid.
Is Fletcher's story true?
Quick! Catch him!
正在这时,他们听到有声⾳。
那是什么?
(嘘!)
⼀个男⼈从房⼦⾥⾛了出来。
是伦菲尔德!
科林突然害怕起来。
弗莱彻说的是真的吗?
快!抓住他!

Stop!
Renfield begins to run.
But Fletcher and Colin are faster.
I've got you!
This isn't a joke now.
Where is it? Where's the vampire?
Professor, stop! Let's call the police …
Tell us!
Never, Fletcher!
He knows the professor!
Tell him! Where does the vampire live?
站住!
伦菲尔德跑了起来。
但弗莱彻和科林跑得更快。
抓住你了!
现在可不是开玩笑了。
它在哪⼉?吸⾎⿁在哪⼉?
教授,放开⼿吧!咱们报警吧……
告诉我们!
没门⼉,弗莱彻!
他认识教授!
告诉他!吸⾎⿁住在哪⼉?

Renfield is quiet for a minute. Then …


Twenty-six, Moon Street. Number sixteen.
Do you know that street?
I do.
Quick! There isn't much time.
What about Renfield? Shall I call the police?
No. Leave him. We must be quick! We can go in my car. It's near here.
Renfield begins to laugh.
Good luck, Fletcher! You need it!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
伦菲尔德沉默了⼀会⼉。然后……
⽉亮街26号,16号房间。
你们认识那条街吗?
我认识。
快!时间不多了。
伦菲尔德怎么办?我要报警吗?
不。别管他了。咱们得快去!咱们开我的车去。车就在附近。
伦菲尔德笑了起来。
祝你好运,弗莱彻!你需要好运!
哈!哈!哈!
Five minutes later.
Claudia, listen. I'm afraid. Fletcher's crazy. Renfield is crazy too, I
think. Let's run away now!
No, Colin. I want to know. Is the professor's story true?
She gets in the car.
I can't leave her with the professor.
Colin gets in, too.
The professor drives fast.
What time is it?
Five o'clock, I think. But my watch is slow.
Left here.
五分钟后。
克劳迪娅,听着。我很害怕。弗莱彻疯了。我觉得伦菲尔德也疯
了。咱们现在就逃⾛吧!
不,科林。我想知道真相。教授说的是真的吗?
她上了车。
我不能让她单独和教授在⼀起。
科林也上了车。
教授开得飞快。
现在⼏点了?
我想有五点了。不过我的表慢了。
这⼉左拐。

Come on!
Claudia, take the fire escape. Colin, come with me.
Colin goes upstairs with Fletcher.
I can't believe this!
Here it is — number sixteen.
One, two, three … now!
(BOOM!)
快点⼉!
克劳迪娅,⾛消防通道。科林,跟我来。
科林和弗莱彻跑上楼梯。
我简直不敢相信!
就是这⼉——16号。
⼀、⼆、三……嗨!
(砰!)

They run in, but …


There's nobody here.
Look in the other rooms!
Colin goes to the bedroom.
This is crazy! A vampire can't live here!
What's this?
Suddenly …
Come here, Colin.
Then Claudia smiles.
他们冲了进去,可是……
这⼉没⼈。
看看其他房间!
科林去了卧室。
太疯狂了!吸⾎⿁不可能住在这⼉!
这是什么?
突然……
过来,科林。
接着克劳迪娅笑了。

Take those joke teeth out, Claudia. This isn't the time for jokes.
It isn't a joke, Colin.
(Claudia Marko
Number 16
26 Moon Street
London)
You? You live here?
That's right. I do.
And Renfield?
Renfield works for me.
Suddenly Conlin remembers.
Where is Professor Fletcher?
摘掉那些玩具假⽛,克劳迪娅。现在可不是开玩笑的时候。
这不是玩笑,科林。
(克劳迪娅·马科
16号房间
⽉亮街26号
伦敦)
你?你住这⼉?
没错。我住这⼉。
伦菲尔德呢?
伦菲尔德为我⼯作。
突然科林想起了什么。
弗莱彻教授在哪⼉?

Professor! Help!
(THUD!)
Ouch!
Professor Fletcher! Get up!
Oh dear, oh dear.
That's OK, Colin. You don't need to be afraid.
She is looking at his neck.
Are you hungry now, Colin? I am. I'm hungry for …
… blood!
教授!救命!
(砰!)
哎哟!
弗莱彻教授!起来!
哦,天哪,哦,天哪。
没关系,科林。你不⽤害怕。
她看着他的脖⼦。
你现在饿吗,科林?我饿了。我要喝……
……⾎!

Are these the last minutes of my life?


Wait! Tell me something. Why? Why are you doing this?
The vampire stops.
Why not? Everybody needs to eat and drink!
I look at you, Colin, and I see …
… food.
Colin closes his eyes and waits to die.
Nothing happens.
The sun! Vampires can't be in the sun. It can kill them.
The sun's coming up! But it's too early! Oh no! Your watch is slow!
这是我⽣命的最后时刻吗?
等等!告诉我,为什么?你为什么这么做?
吸⾎⿁停了下来。
为什么不?每个⼈都需要吃喝。
我看着你,科林,就看到了……
⾷物。
科林闭上眼等死。
⼀点⼉事⼉也没有。
太阳!吸⾎⿁不能呆在阳光下,阳光会要了它们的命。
太阳出来了!可这太早了!哦不!你的表慢了!

She runs into the next room.


What now? Go into the room? Kill Claudia? Can I do it?
No!
Come on.
I'm sorry, Professor,
What? Where am I?
Thank you, sun!
她跑进另⼀个房间。
现在怎么办?进到那个房间⾥?杀死克劳迪娅?我能⾏吗?
不⾏!
快⾛。
对不起,教授。
什么?我这是在哪⼉?
谢谢你,太阳!

Colin is at home all day.


I can't call the police. The professor is in hospital, I think.
What can I do?
Everything needs to eat and drink. I understand. But is the fly very
happy about that?
Claudia can always find me, she says. Perhaps next week. Perhaps
tonight …
科林⼀整天都呆在家⾥。
我不能报警。我想教授已经住院了。
我该怎么办?
万物都需要吃喝,这我理解。但苍蝇对此感到开⼼吗?
克劳迪娅说她总是能找到我。也许是下周。也许是今晚……
