Carmen Sternwood(Martha Vickers): You're not very tall, are you?
Philip Marlowe(Humphrey Bogart): Well, I, uh, I try to be.
卡门: 你可不怎么高嘛。
马洛: 呃,我,嗯,我尽力了。
Geenral Sternwood(Charles Waldron): How do you like your brandy, sir?
Marlowe: In a glass.
施特恩伍德将军: 你想喝什么样的白兰地，先生？
马洛：装在玻璃杯里的。
Sternwood: Do you like orchids?
Marlowe: Not particularly.
Sternwood: Ugh. Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, and their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption.
施特恩伍德：你爱兰花么？
马洛：没有特别的兴趣。
施特恩伍德：恩哼。龌龊的东西。它们的肉太像人类的肉，而它们的香味里有一种腐烂的甜味。
Marlowe: Hmm.
sternwood: What does that mean?
Marlowe: It means, hmm.
马洛：嗯。
施特恩伍德：那是什么意思。
马洛：意思是，嗯。
Sternwood: You knew him too?
Marlowe: Yes, in the old days, when he used to run rum out of Merxico and I was in the other side. We used to swap shots between drinks, or drinks between shots, whichever you like.
Sternwood: My respects to you, sir. Few men ever swapped more than one shot with Sean Regan.
施特恩伍德：你也认识他?
马洛: 是的,早些时候,当他向墨西哥境外走私酒类。我当时在边境线的另一边。我们常常在互相射击之间坐下来喝几杯，或是在几杯之间互相射击。
施特恩伍德：向你致敬，先生。很少有人能和肖恩瑞根互相射击两枪以上。
Marlowe: I know he was a good man at whatever he did. No one was more pleased than I when I heard you had taken him on as your ... whatever he was.
马洛：知道他在各个方面都是能手。没有人比我更高兴，当我知道你已经将他当作你的……管他是什么。
Marlowe: She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up.
马洛：她想坐在我的大腿上，那时我正站着。
Sternwood: I assume they have all the usual vices, besides those they've invented for themselves.
斯特恩伍德：我猜他们都由通常的缺陷，除了他们自己杜撰的那些缺陷之外。
Marlowe: Thanks for the drink, General.
Sternwood: I enjoyed your drink as much as you did, sir.
马洛：谢谢你的酒，将军。
斯特恩伍德：我和你一样享受你那杯酒，先生。
Norris(Charles Brown)：Are you attempting to tell me my duties, sir?
Marlowe: No, just having fun trying to guess what they are.
诺里斯： 你在尝试告诉我我的责任么，先生？
马洛： 不，你自己猜猜你的责任找点乐子吧。
Marlowe: I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like 'em myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them long winter evenings.
马洛：你喜不喜欢我的态度我无所谓。我自己是不喜欢。它们很糟糕。我常常在漫长的冬夜为他们默哀。
Vivian Rutledge(Lauren Bacall): Do you always think you can handle people like, uh, trained seals?
Marlowe: Uh-huh. I usually get away with it too.
Vivian: How nice of you.
维薇安：你是不是总以为自己能像训练海豹一样控制别人？
马洛：恩哼。我也常常因此侥幸没有被逮住。
维薇安：你可真是好样的。
Marlowe in a bookstore: You do sell books, hmm?
Agnes Lowzier(Sonia Darrin): What do those look like, grapefruit?
Marlowe: Well, from here they look like books.
马洛在一个书店里： 你们有卖书吧？
安格尼兹：那你觉得这些像什么，葡萄吗？
马洛： 从这里看的确像书。
Vivian: Where did you find her?
Marlowe: I didn't find her.
Vivian: Well, then how did you...
Marlowe: I haven't been here, you haven't seen me, and she hasn't been out of the house all evening.
Vivian: That bad?
Marlowe: Mm-hmm.
维薇安：你在哪找到她的？
马洛：我可没找到她。
维薇安：哦？那你怎么……
马洛：我压根儿没来过这儿，你也根本没喝我见面，她呢，一整个晚上都没出去过。（意思是她今晚出去的事绝对不能让人知道，我走了以后就当没发生过算了。）
维薇安：那么糟糕么？
马洛：是啊。
Vivian: You go too far, Marlowe.
Marlowe: Those are harsh words to throw at a man, especially when he's walking out of your bedroom.
维薇安：你管得太多了，马洛。
马洛：这句话对一个男人来说可不怎么好受，特别是当他离开你的卧房的时候。
Vivian: So you do get up. I was beginning to think perhaps you worked in bed like Marcel Proust.
Marlowe: Who's he?
Vivian: You wouldn't know him. A French writer.
Marlowe showing her into his office: Come to my boudoir.
维薇安：那么你是起床了。我还以为你像普鲁斯特那样在床上办公呢。
马洛：他是谁？
维薇安：你不会知道他。一个法国作家。
马洛请她进他的办公室：请进我的boudoir（法语闺房）吧。
Marlowe making a prank call: What can I do for you? I can do what? Where? Oh, no, I wouldn't like that. Neither would my daughter.
马洛开玩笑地扮演接电话：我能为你效劳么？我能做什么？在哪？哦，不，我可不像那样。我的女儿也不会愿意的。
Marlowe: You wanna tell me now?
Vivian: Tell you what?
Marlowe: What it is you're trying to find out. You know, it's a funny thing. You're trying to find out what your father hired me to find out, and I'm trying to find out why you want to find out.
Vivian: You could go on forever, couldn't you? Anyway it'll give us something to talk about next time we meet.
Marlowe: Among other things.
马洛：你想现在就告诉我吗？
维薇安：告诉你什么？
马洛：你到底想知道什么。你知道么，这真够好笑的。你很努力地想知道你的父亲雇我来想要发现的是什么，而我正在努力地想知道你为什么想知道这个。
维薇安：你可以这样一支循环下去，是不是？不管如何这样我们下一次见面的时候就有话说了。
马洛：当然还有别的话好说。
Taxi Driver(Joy Barlowe): If you can use me again sometime, call this number.
Marlowe: Day and night?
Taxi Driver: Uh, night's better. I work during the day.
出租车司机：如果你还想雇我的话，就打这个电话。
马洛：２４小时都可以吗？
出租车司机：呃，晚上好一点。我白天还得工作呢。
Eddie Mars(John Ridgerly): Your story didn't sound quite right.
Marlowe: Oh, that's too bad. You got a better one?
Mars: Maybe I can find one.
艾迪：你的这个故事听起来不那么对劲。
马洛：哦，真糟糕。你有一个更好的么？
艾迪：说不定我会找一个。
Mars: Convenient, the door being open when you didn't have a key, eh?
Marlowe: Yeah, wasn't it? By the way, how'd you happen to have one?
Mars: Is that any of your business?
Marlowe: I could make it my business.
Mars: I could make your business mine.
Marlowe: Oh, you wouldn't like it. The pay's too small.
艾迪：真方便，你没钥匙的时候门就是开的，是么？
马洛：可不是？对了，你怎么会刚巧有一把？
艾迪：这和你有关么？
马洛：我可以让这件事和我有关。
艾迪：我也可以让你的事变成我的事。
马洛：哦，你不会喜欢这样干的。我干的事薪水太少了。
Marlowe: My, my, my! Such a lot of guns around town and so few brains! You know, you're the second guy I've met today that seems to think a gat in the hand means the world by the tail.
马洛：哎，哎，哎！这里有这么多的枪可是却没几个人有脑筋！你知道么，你是我今天碰到的第二个自以为有一把左轮就把整个世界不放在眼里了的人了。
Marlowe: Did I hurt you much, sugar?
Agnes: You and every other man I've ever met.
马洛：我伤着你了么，甜心？
安格尼兹：你和我遇到的几乎每一个男人。
Marlowe: How'd you happen to pick out this place?
Vivian: Maybe I wanted to hold your hand.
Marlowe: Oh, that can be arranged.
马洛：你怎么刚巧在这个地方？
维薇安：我可能是想牵你的手了吧。
马洛：哦，这事可以安排。
Vivian: Speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them work out a little first, see if they're front-runners or come from behind, find out what their whole card is, what makes them run.
Marlowe: Find out mine?
Vivian: I think so.
Marlowe: Go ahead.
Vivian: I'd say you don't like to be rated. You like to get out in front, open up a lead, take a likttle breather in the backstretch, and then come home free.
Marlowe: You don't like to be rated yourself.
Vivian: I haven't met anyone yet that can do it. Any suggestions?
Marlowe: Well, I can't tell till I've seen you over a distance of ground. You've got a touch of class, but I don't know how, how far you can go.
Vivian: A lot depends on who's in the saddle.
维薇安：谈到嘛，我喜欢玩马。但是我喜欢先看看，看它们是不是总跑第一，还是后来居上，看看它们到底有没有把握，它们为什么跑。
马洛：你找到我的了吗？
维薇安：我想是的。
马洛：说说看。
维薇安：要我说，你可不喜欢让人评头论足。你喜欢远远把人甩在后面，跑完全程以后还能在场外透透气，然后再悠闲自在的回家。
马洛：我看你也不喜欢让人评头论足呢。
维薇安：我还没遇上一个能对我评头论足的人。你想说点什么吗？
马洛：嗯，我得先看你跑上一段才行。你是个有点实力的人，但是我不知道你能跑多远。
维薇安：大部分取决于是谁驾驭着我。
Marlowe： Oh, Eddie, you don't have anybody watching me, do you? Tailing me in a gray Plymouth coupé, maybe?
Mars： No, why should I?
Marlowe： Well, I can't imagine, unless you're worried about where I am all the time.
Mars： I don't like you that well.
马洛：噢，艾迪，你没有派什么人跟踪我吧，有吗？说不定开着一辆灰色的普利茅斯汽车跟着我？
艾迪：没有，我干吗要这样干？
马洛：嗯，我可说不出来，除非你整日价担心我在哪。
艾迪：我可还没有那么喜欢你。
Marlowe： You the guy that's been tailing me?
Harry Jones (Elisha Cook, Jr.)： Yeah, the name's Jones. Harry Jones. I want to see you.
Marlowe： Swell. Did you want to see those guys jump me?
Jones： I didn't care one way or the other.
Marlowe： You could've yelled for help.
Jones： If a guy's playing a hand, I let him play it. I'm no kibitzer.
Marlowe： You got brains.
马洛：你就是那个跟踪我的人吧？
琼斯：正是，大名琼斯。哈里琼斯。我想见你。
马洛：很好。你想眼看着那些家伙扑上来对付我吗？
琼斯：我无所谓他们干不干。
马洛：你可以喊救命。
琼斯：如果有人想单挑，我会让他干的，我可不会乱插手。
马洛：你可真聪明。
Agnes：Is Harry there?
Marlowe： Yeah, yeah, he's here.
Agnes： Put him on, will you?
Marlowe： He can't talk to you.
Agnes： Why?
Marlowe： Because he's dead.
安格尼兹：哈里在吗？
马洛：是的，是的，他在这里。
安格尼兹：让他接电话，好么？
马洛：他不能和你说话。
安格尼兹：为什么？
马洛：因为他死了。
Agnes： Well, so long, copper. Wish me luck. I got a raw deal.
Marlowe： Yeah, your kind always does.
安格尼兹：好了，就这样吧，警察。祝我好运。我的事挺麻烦。
马洛：是啊，你们这种人总是这样。
Vivian： Why did you have to go on?
Marlowe： Too many people told me to stop.
维薇安：你为什么要接着干下去？
马洛：因为太多人叫我住手了。
Marlowe： What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a gun before? What do you want me to do, count three like they do in the movies?
马洛：怎么回事？你以前没见过手枪吗？你想让我怎么着，像电影那样数到三？
Marlowe： Let me do the talking, angel. I don't know yet what I'm going to tell them. It'll be pretty close to the truth.
马洛：天使，让我来说吧。我还不知道我要怎么跟他们说，但是我想应该是非常接近事实的。
Vivian: You've forgotten one thing: me.
Marlowe: What's wrong with you?
Vivian: Nothing you can't fix.
维薇安：你忘了一样东西：我。
马洛：你有什么问题吗？
维薇安：没有你不能解决的问题。
他是我父亲的最爱。
“好莱坞总是把很多小事大力包装纸后满街褒奖。”吉米曾说，“我不会被这种做法所影响，但是太多的褒奖总是让人飘飘然。”
尤伯连纳（Yul Brynner），一位独具外国风情兼有领袖气质的美国电影明星，他的表演才能和他的光头一样为人们所铭记（他是第一个光头的电影偶像）。在他生前没有人清楚尤伯连纳这个演员究竟是在何时何地出生的，因为他在每次访谈的时候说得都不一样。在他晚年的时候，关于这些矛盾的说辞，他回应道：“只有普通人才只需要一个生日。”
1951年，因为对他早几年的《琵琶曲》中充满感染力的演出记忆犹新，当年的主演Mary Martin推荐给他一个角色，也就是他最著名也最成功塑造的角色——Rodgers与Hammerstein的音乐剧《
他们既已成为朋友，便共进晚餐，而Fred则建议Ginger吃一些易困的食物，以便之后的精神检查，这一段的情节十分苍白。在吃完了海鲜鸡尾酒（上面加搅拌过的奶油），牡蛎，威尔士兔肉，草莓松饼之后，Ginger回到家里，作了一个梦，那便是好莱坞最早的“梦中舞蹈”——“我的眼里曾没有色彩”。好莱坞的梦总是梦到惨重的后果，但是“我的眼里没有色彩”却不是有关失败的。我们来到一条雾气蒙蒙的小河边，葱翠的开满花的树木作为背景。河流的表面则覆盖了巨大的荷叶。Fred与Ginger在河边漫步。Ginger穿着一身洁白的礼服，而Fred虽然没有穿礼服，却十分适合在荷叶上跳舞（不说别的，他还穿着鞋罩。）他唱那首“我的眼中曾没有色彩”，像是让两个人都明白了自己的情感。当他们开始在荷叶上跳舞的时候，镜头突然转成了慢动作，这样的转变十分难控制，但是却表现得非常完美。Ginger的轻盈的礼服十分优雅地飘动，两个人在慢动作下都没有任何瑕疵。[注]
