《神探夏洛克》精讲 37心理博弈

Bit risky¹, wasn't it? Took me away under the eye of about half a dozen policemen.

不觉得有点冒险吗？从警察眼皮子底下把我带走。

They're not that stupid. And Mrs Hudson will remember you.

他们可不是吃素的。再说了，赫德森太太也会认出你来。

You call that a risk? Nah...This is a risk. Oh, I like this bit.

你觉得那算得上冒险吗，不...这才叫冒险。这个部分我喜欢。

Cos you don't get it yet, do ya? But you're about to.

我看你还一头雾水呢，对吧？你马上就会明白。

I just have to do this...Weren't expecting that, were ya? Oh, you're going to love this.

我只需拿出来...没想到吧？这个你肯定喜欢。

Love what?

喜欢什么？

Sherlock Holmes! Look at you! Here in the flesh². That website of yours, your fan told me about it.

夏洛克·福尔摩斯，看看你！本尊就坐在我对面。你的仰慕者给我讲了你那个网站。

My fan?

我的仰慕者？

You are brilliant. You are a proper genius. The Science of Deduction³. Now, that...is proper thinking.

你那么杰出。简直就是个天才。演绎法。那么现在...推理的时候到了。

Between you and me sitting here, why can't people think? Don't it make you mad? Why can't people just think?

我们就来说说，人们为什么就不会思考？你不因此恼怒吗？为什么人们就不会动动脑子呢？

Oh, I see...So you're a proper genius too.

我明白了，这么说你也是个天才咯。

Don't look it, do I? Funny little man driving a cab⁴.

看起来不像吧？不过是个不起眼的滑稽的哥。

But you'll know better in a minute. Chances are it'll be the last thing you ever know.

不过很快自会见分晓。这可能是你有生之年所知的最后一件事。

OK, two bottles. Explain.

这两个瓶子是什么意思。

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

一个有毒，一个没毒。选到没毒的 就逃过一劫。选到有毒的...就必死无疑。

Both bottles are of course identical⁵.

两个瓶子完全一样。

In every way.

毫无区别。

And you know which is which.

但你分得出来。

Of course I know.

那是当然。

But I don't.

而我却不知道。

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。

Why should I? I've got nothing to go on. What's in it for me?

那我凭什么要选。我有什么好处？

I haven't told you the best bit yet.

最精彩的部分还没告诉你呢。

Whatever bottle you choose, I take the pill from the other one. And then together...we take our medicine.

不管你选哪个剩下的那个都归我。然后，我们一起...把药吃下去。

I won't cheat. It's your choice. I'll take whatever pill you don't.

我不会使诈，由你来选。选剩的就是我的。

Didn't expect that, did you, Mr Holmes?

出乎意料吧，福尔摩斯先生？

This is what you did to the rest of them, you gave them a choice?

你也是用同样的方法对付他们，让他们自己来选吗？

And now I'm giving you one. You take your time. Get yourself together. I want your best game.

现在轮到你来选了。你不用着急。慢慢考虑。让这场游戏玩得尽兴。

It's not a game, it's chance.

这不是游戏，是运气。

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

我都玩儿了4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 survivor⁶. And this - this...is the move.

心理的博弈只需一步决出胜负。而这个...就是那一步。

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

想想吧，给你的这个有没有毒？选哪一个都成。
