《神探夏洛克》精讲 15上帝的宠儿

Who are you?

你是谁？

Nobody. For now. But I won't die a nobody. Now will I?

目前为止谁都不是。但这下我是一举成名了吧？

Two pills.

两枚药片。

There's a good pill and a bad pill. You take the good pill, you live. Take the bad pill, you die.

一个有毒，一个没毒，选对了就逃过一劫。选错了就必死无疑。

And you know which is which.

你能分辨出来。

'Course I know.

那是当然。

But I don't.

我却不知道。

Wouldn't be a game if you knew. You're the one who chooses.

你都知道了还算什么游戏。就是让你来选。

It's not a game. It's chance. I've played five times. I'm alive. It's not chance, Mr Holmes, it's chess.

这不是游戏，是运气。我都玩了5次。还活着。福尔摩斯先生，这不是运气，而是博弈。

It's a game of chess with one move and one survivor¹. And this, this is the move.

只需一步，决出胜负。而这就是那致命的一步。

Did I just give you the good pill or the bad pill? You can choose either one.

想想吧，给你的这个有没有毒。选哪一个都成。

Is this what you did? To all of them? You gave them a choice?

这就是你的做法吗？用这个对付他们？让他们自己选择？

You've got to admit, as serial² killers³ go, I'm verging⁴ on nice. Anyway, time's up. Choose.

你也得承认作为一个连环杀手，我还算厚道了。不管怎样，时间到了。选吧。

And then?

然后呢？

And then, together, we take our medicine.

然后我们一起吃下去。

Let's play.

开始吧。

Play what? It's a 50/50 chance.

开始什么？这不过是五成的胜算。

You're not playing the numbers, you're playing me.

你并不是和胜算斗，而是和我斗。

Did I just give you the good pill or the bad pill? Is it a bluff⁵? Or a double-bluff? Or a triple bluff?

我给你的那个到底有没有毒？猜猜我是在请君入瓮？欲擒故纵？还是在故弄玄虚？

It's still chance.

只是运气而已。

Five people in a row, it's not chance. - It's luck. - It's genius.

运气能连续放倒5人吗，绝不是运气。-走运罢了。-是天赋。

I know how people think. I know how people think I think. I can see it all, like a map in my head.

我知道人们会怎么想。也知道你们如何猜测我的想法。我脑子里就像有张地图，看得一清二楚。

Everyone's so stupid. Even you. 'Course, maybe God just loves me.

每个人都如此愚蠢。你也不例外。也许只有我是上帝的宠儿。

Either way, you're wasted as a cabbie. How did you choose which ones?

不管怎样，你也不过是个一无是处的的哥。你怎么选择受害人？

Anyone who didn't know where they were going, 'cause they were drunk or lost or new in town. Anyone I could walk through the wrong door.

所有迷失方向的人，或是醉了，或是初来乍到的人。碰上谁就是谁。
